This is the first time BCA has need to use its collection of email addresses, so we felt it was appropriate to check they worked before we went to issue the ballot paper. Of the 4000+ messages sent, only 6% bounced. Those people have been switched to the posting list. As for those whose email went to their junk mail bin, we have few ways of coping with that other than through this type of message system. But your comment has prompted me to organise to send a reminder to club secretaries to remind their members that they should have individually got the ballot paper plus put a notice up on BCA web site and Facebook. Thanks Adam.
Our aim is to send out the email conveying the ballot paper some time next week. The ballot paper will go to the printer / mailer tomorrow so hopefully it will be landing on peoples doorsteps next week.
