Re: Mountain Bothies Association: mailing of MBA Handbook

I've just received (through the post) a copy of the MBA Handbook (Yup, I am a member). This is an excellent read full of general information.

Am I alone in feeling that this type of item should be sent by e-mail - to those that elect to receive such things electronically, thus saving paper and postage.

Now I really am a little perturbed so that even bats couldn't hear me.

This morning (2 days after the other one), by post, another MBA booklet: same size as the last one: another 2nd class stamp, and another plastic wrapper.

"Bothy Notes and Directory of Office Holders 09/10"

Never mind "why couldn't they send this with the magazine"

but "Why on earth couldn't they put the Handbook and the Bothy Notes together in the same mailing"?

2nd class stamp: 30p.
Approx MBA members: 4335 (from Ann Report 2009: at least that's PDF on the website)
Postage (stamp) costs alone: £1300

That's a lot of money....
