Oo, yes, and I agree with POGS re the Won Anything? thread. We used to get to hear who had won the major competition prizes, but that doesn't seem to be happening much now.

I like the format as it is, too - I don't think it's too long. Perhaps, as Ana says, we could do with a few more snippets from the forums?

I don't have an opinion as to the format of the newsletter as I am probably like an odd one or two other GN's and simply bypass the bits I am not interested in.

I have however posted on the Won Anything thread recently that I am noticing the winners of the competitions are not being posted as much as they used to. I could be wrong and very happy to be corrected but an example would be, who won the Haven Holiday break?

I'm afraid I've lost interest in the newsletter and rarely bother with it now.

Lara, I just meant that past newsletters have had a lot more forum stuff.

Perhaps do away with forum snippets completely and just make it a list of all the competitions, blogs etc. for those who don't look at the Home Page...smile

I also see little wrong with it

I like the present format

What! All our carefully curated words!? shock. To be honest, you might prefer it in the new format then Ana grin. Less wordy in general. And hopefully more forum bits. There are usually so many hilarious threads we have trouble pinning down just the one or two for the newsletter at the moment.

I did notice that last week's Forum news was extremely sparse! hmm

(that's the only bit I read, BTW! grin)

We've noticed that the newsletter is getting a bit long recently - we seem to have more content, competitions and other things going on than ever before. So, in an effort not to overdo it all in one day, we're going to be splitting it up over the course of the week so that you get shorter, more digestible bits of news more frequently. If there's anything you'd like to see more (or less) of, please let us know, but it'll be mostly the same stuff: features, competitions, offers, bookclub news and of course, highlights from the forums. smile
