Dear all
I am well aware of the irony! However, I think MCG members are likely to
be pretty good at telling other people about the benefits of getting
on-line!
You will be relieved to know that AMCs have known about the proposal for
some time, and it will be appearing in the snailmail newsletters real
soon now. I encourage anyone I speak to to join MCG for obvious reasons.
Where can I get my flowing robe? It would make a change from the anorak.
