Wild Land News no 65, Winter 2005/2006

Wild land group uses email network for the first time

The Steering Team authorised the use of the email addresses sent in by members to circulate details of the powerline upgrade between Beauly and Denny. This proposal by Scottish & Southern Energy is opposed by the Steering Team, and we encouraged members to send any comments of their own to the Scottish Executive by the deadline. The email system allowed our information to be sent out quickly and efforts were made to keep the content short, to avoid clogging up people's in-trays.

If you wish to add your email to the distribution list for future mail-outs, then please let the Co ordinator know. We never pass on email addresses to third parties for commercial/marketing purposes, etc.

The Steering Team considered this matter to be so important that we also authorised the sum of £500 from Group funds to be contributed to a joint publicity campaign with many other outdoor/conservation bodies.
