Notes from the Editor

It is the intention of the society to allow news from ISTM to be distributed to members by e-mail as an alternative to a ‘hard copy’ newsletter. Eventually the ‘hard copy’ of NewsShare may be phased out and important news would then be included with the journal as well as being circulated electronically. This has many advantages, not least, speed of circulation and cost saving to the society.

Anticipating this we are now only including in NewsShare - ISTM committee news, personal contributions from members and details of forthcoming events such as courses and conferences. Please remember to inform the ISTM secretariat (address as on the membership application form) if you are already in apposition to receive news only by e-mail. You also had an opportunity to do this on the membership questionnaire circulated recently.
