Where necessary, it links to this website where you can find more information. It is emailed each Sunday morning to members who have subscribed to it.
Occasionally, a Special Notice with urgent/ important news may be emailed out on other days.
To submit an item, please:

Copy deadline
The copy deadline each week is Thursday 5pm. The editor reserves the right to edit your copy and title in the interests of clarity, brevity and the Weekly Update house style. Where appropriate, she will email the edited version back to you as soon as possible for you to approve before it is published.
News about groups
If you want an item about a group to go in the Groups News section, please send your copy by 12.30pm Thursday to our Groups Co-ordinator Johanne Carstairs.
