Because the local postal system has become so unreliable, each month I email some 330 online copies of the Melbourne Club magazine 'The Light Shaft' to those who provide an email address.
It appears that a few members won't use their email and some email providers are getting more and more agressive with their spam protection, sending the email to trash- so not a perfect system
Around 300 members still opt for a hard copy but many are seeing the benefit of online - not to mention the storage ! I have 8 feet of old magazines back to 1952 which will probably outlast the online issues (until they get binned)
From memory the Club could save about $26,000 pa if we dropped the hard copy.
