Spokes members receive a comprehensive Action-Update by email roughly monthly – the exact frequency depends on what is happening. In the past we always used a 2-page A4 document, called Spokesworker, available on paper and electronically, but our Action-Updates are more comprehensive and are email-only. Occasionally an also-printed edition is useful (for example to hand out at public meetings) and in this case the 2-page Spokesworker format is still used.
Until 2020, our main publication was the printed Spokes Bulletin but its role and publication is now more restricted.
240324 Special circular : In March we published our annual printed Bulletin (for bike leafleting, libraries, bike shops etc) and as this was sent to all members the normal full email Action Update to members was not needed
