Closure of Notts News

The following letter has been sent out to all Notts News members:

Dear Member

I regret to advise you that, at the 2009 AGM, it was not possible to elect sufficient committee members for Notts News to continue. The committee members elected prior to the AGM have agreed to assist in winding down the organisation.

It is our belief that Rural Community Action Nottinghamshire (RCAN), formerly Nottinghamshire Rural Community Council (NRCC), is the best organisation to offer our remaining funds to, as they have been of enormous help to Notts News over many years, and are well placed to support newsletter groups in Nottinghamshire.

It is hoped that some of the popular Notts News activities (such as the Newsletter Competition) will continue under RCAN’s management; RCAN will contact you directly in the future to inform you of their plans.

I thank everyone for their support of Notts News over the years, but regretfully this will be the last communication from the committee.

If you wish to follow up the plans RCAN have in mind for Notts Newsletters in the future please contact Jackie Colquitt on 01623 727600 or email or visit the RCAN website at www.rcan.org.uk (opens in a new window).

Notts News

Notts News (or, more formally, The Association of Nottinghamshire Newsletters) was set up to:

• promote the interests of village newsletters in Nottinghamshire,
• offer a forum for discussion and training related to their publication process and
• provide guidance and advice to their publishing teams.

We recognise that the internet is a powerful medium for supporting communication between geographically separated individuals who share a common interest, such as regional newsletter editors. So the Notts News website provides information, advice and support to a fragmented amateur publishing community.

Annual Members' Meeting and AGM

The Notts News Annual Members' Meeting and AGM, was held on Wednesday 16th September 2009. During the meeting there was a long discussion about the future of Notts News. Minutes of the meeting and the results of the discussion will be published here in due course.

Before the AGM the winners of the 2009 Newsletter Competition were announced, click here to see the 2009 Newsletter Competition results.
