Automatic email update

Once again, huge apologies for the failure of the automatic newsletter over the past few weeks. In an attempt to get it working once again I have cleared out the old system and added a completely new one. This message should be the first you receive under the new system. Apologies that it looks very basic, but the key is to get it working correctly first then we can make it look nicer in the next few weeks. The mailing list may well need some updating, so if you have unsubscribed in the past but are receiving this message, please accept my apologies and unsubscribe once more. If you do want to receive this newsletter, please check with your friends

I could just focus on me and what people
