Communication problems

The NUJ email system was restored at approximately 4pm on Thursday.

However any email messages that were sent to the NUJ between Wednesday 22nd October and 4pm on 30th October will not have been received.

Any emails sent between these times should be re-posted as a matter of urgency.

To further complicate matters, the unofficial strike by our Trade Union colleagues in the Communication Workers Union means that any material sent through the postal service is likely to be seriously delayed.

Please contact the office by email, telephone or fax, if in any doubt about the delivery of time-sensitive information.

In response to requests from some members, a page has been set up at http://sellyourgear.pitas.com/ for journalists wishing to sell used equipment.

It is not endorsed by the NUJ.

If anyone wants to post any ads, they can get in touch with me by one of the usual methods or by emailing sellyourgear@hotmail.com. I can also retain contact details rather than post them on the site for anyone who has concerns about that sort of thing.

If there is sufficient interest, a more sophisticated site could be created in future.

If you know anyone who is interested, please let them know about the site. There are no charges, for using it but no responsibility will be taken for any losses incurred.
