In late September 2021, we launched a new version of our daily email service which is being sent out to a portion of our subscribers and so far the feedback we have received has been extremely positive. It is now sent out in html format, rather than plain text, so you can more easily see the headlines, main picture and read a little intro into what a particular news article is about.

To subscribe, simply enter your name (optional) and email address in the boxes further down the page and click subscribe. The system will check whether you are human or not, and then ask you to verify the address given. If you ever wish to unsubscribe, all you have to do is click on a link in the email. It really couldn't be simpler.
