500th Weekly Issued The first ever SRP Weekly was sent out on 15 June 2012 and just over 10 years later we have hit the 500 mark . There was concern at the beginning that there wouldn ' t be enough content to fill the newsletter each week .... and now this couldn ' t be further from the truth . The Weekly has proved a really effective way of getting information quickly to all our members and the open rate is always high . Don ' t forget that the Weeklies ( since 2020 ) are available in an archive on the forums .
