1. Women in London Training e-group (WiLT)
This has already moved to a new blog and e-group service - see: http://www.freecharity.org.uk/~womeninlondon/

2. Frequency of e-updates
For the time being we will keep them as fortnightly but where we judge appropriate will send out weekly - eg around International Women's Day when the amount of information makes weekly mailings easier to send, and (we hope you think) easier to receive.

3. Regional emailings
There was a high level of interest from women wanting to receive emailings based on the region they live / work in. We are happy to help women / women's groups who want to set up regional e-mailings get in touch with each other - but you will need to contact us as survey results were anonymous. Options for setting up emailings are the obvious ones such as through yahoo groups or you could take advantage of the free mail list service that we use for the WiL updates from freecharity.org If you need help with either of these, and / or would like the WiL e-updates to publicise any regional emailings you have (already) set up please do let us know. It is also easy for women to share the upkeep of a blog - so if you thought women / women's groups in your region would benefit from a shared web space we are happy to talk to you about how you can do this.

4. Emailings on issues campaigned / cared about
Focused emailings on specific issues had a lower level of interest and would probably be better co-ordinated by women already working in those areas, but as with the regional mailings we are happy to help facilitate women getting in touch with each other.
