No Mags Allowed

22/8/2012

 
Unfortunately, due to the actions of some of our members we have taken the decision that magazines of any kind will no longer be welcome on the raffle table.  In case some members don't see the new rule in time, it will not be enforced until the Xmas meeting.

Also, I'd like to reiterate here that you MUST bring the receipt for all raffle items, even if it's not needed to enter.  No receipt = No yellow tickets.

Finally, please check that the receipt is securely attached to the product, that the code (where applicable) has not been used and that the comp has not already closed.

Check your emails properly

Just recently I have twice been in the great position of being able to let another member know that her name was on a winners list - and she knew nothing about it!  (Actually it was the same member both times which I think is really odd!)   And I think this is what happens!

I receive loads of emails every day - and I suspect most of you do as well.  Many of these are 'junk' mail (actually MOST of these are junk mail) and I quickly read the first couple of lines, decide whether they are just a newsletter or sales blurb, then delete them without opening them.

Bad idea!

I've now realised that many of those 'junk/sales newsletters', are being made personal further into the body of the email.

And that is where they say, "Dear (add your own name here!), CONGRATULATIONS etc, etc, etc".

I now make sure I open and read each email I receive.

Obviously I don't open any attachments within the email (which would leave me open to viruses etc) unless I'm sure I know what it is (not just where it comes from - but an attachment that I am expecting) and the majority of mail is perfectly safe to 'read', then delete or keep as required.

So, look out for those daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly newsletters, ladies and gentlemen - your winning name may be in one of them any day now!!

Good luck.  Penny Harper
