Bulletin

Until 2020 the 3-a-year Spokes Bulletin was our main (printed) publication. However, following the covid pandemic hiatus and the ongoing move to digital, we now expect to publish just one or two editions a year. Instead, there is now a comprehensive member email bulletin, roughly monthly, called the Action-Update (also sometimes called SpokesWorker).

Distribution – An occasional printed Bulletin (around 6000 copies) remains valuable, for picking-up in bike shops and libraries, for bike leafletting (e.g. in shopping streets and at workplaces) and for distribution to relevant groups such as councillors and MSPs, as well as to Spokes members. Until the above post-2020 changes, we used a far wider distribution and printed around 12,000 copies.

Advertising – for full info please email spokes @ spokes.org.uk  [FAO Dave].   As a rough guide, in the Spring 2020 issue, the small boxes on the adverts page normally cost £80. We also offer space for an A5 flyer in the roughly-800 Spokes member household envelopes at a fairly similar charge.
