Local Newsletters re-instated
Communication is the key to any successful organisation and so AOUG have this year agreed to re-instate local Newsletters in all the Regions and Nations. Most areas will have already received their Spring edition by e-mail (or post if no e-mail address) and we hope that you have enjoyed having this additional communication between OMEGAs. However if you have not as yet received a Newsletter for your area, please contact your local Executive Representative to ensure that your correct details are on their mailing list or to offer your support and ideas to help with the production of future editions.
Spring Editions already sent out are for: 02, 04, 05, 06, 07, 09, 11, 13 and Europe. The rest will be distributed shortly.

Survey Responses Required
The 2012 Spring OMEGA is now out and all fully paid up members should have received their copies. Within this you should have found several inserts, and one of these concerned the current situation regarding the relationship between the OU and ourselves. AOUG was endorsed by the OU nearly 24 years ago to support both the OU graduates and the OU itself and this we passionately want to continue for the benefit of all concerned. Local AOUG communications have expanded recently and enthusiasm for more involvement has grown within AOUG itself but the systems for communications to new graduates, has been severely restricted by changes within the OU itself and AOUG has serious decisions to make about our future.
We currently have a strong vibrant and positive committee who sincerely hope that AOUG will be able to support the OU and its graduates for another 24 years but the Officers of AOUG require your responses to the survey enclosed to enable them to make the decisions as to the majority opinions on the best way forward. Please read the insert carefully and send your responses to the AOUG Office (AOUG Office, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes MK7 6AA), as soon as possible.

AOUG now accepting online membership payments

We have today added a secure server to the website to enable the processing of payments for membership. New and existing members can now pay for membership online by Credit/Debit Card or securely set up a Direct Debit online. This completes our first phase of updates to the website. The second phase will be the addition of a shopping cart to allow members to purchase merchandise online.

Ramsey Hertzog, Chairman of AOUG said "We're delighted to add this facility to the website. It makes the new membership and renewals process far simpler and brings us up to date with the requirements of our members. We're also very much looking forward to being able to make merchandise available to buy online in the next couple of months."
