Stayin in touch with members

Most clubs publish a regular club newsletter with a round-up of activities, results, plans, announcements and other business.  These can range from simple one-page flyers with text to elaborate multi-coloured magazines with photos and advertising.  It all depends on your resources and expertise.

At the basic level, its very easy to create a simple newsletter using word processing software.  You can also ask around your membership to see whether anyone has more sophisticated desk-top publishing software that they would be willing to use. 

For small numbers, you can print off copies using a domestic printer, but for larger numbers you will probably prefer to use a local copy printers. Active Watford recommends using Propulsion Print Services.

Whilst its easier and cheaper to leave newsletters to be collected from your club building, this will only reach the more active member - who probably already knows the news.  It's much better to pay a little more and arrange for the newsletter to be distributed to each member's home address or send out the news letter as an E-bulletin via email.
