Bandwidth

My apologies to those of you who have recently received an "out of Bandwidth" error notice when trying to access this site.

Due to the popularity of the site and the amount of traffic we have generated we began to exceed our allocation on a monthly basis. You will be pleased to know that the problem has now been rectified. We have purchased enough band width to carry five times the current traffic so I hope that should last us for a while.

Motion to AGM

The motion is that as from April 2009 the annual subscription to Burnham on Sea U3A should be raised by £1 per person to £8.

This motion is brought about by generally rising costs but in particular, the committee's wish to see the newsletter return to six issues per year. However the newsletter is produced, either by in-house photocopier or by commercial printing, the production costs are rising.
