\section{Membership Matters}

This \BV\ is the first issue for 1996 and is being sent to 
all 1996 and 1995 members (who have not yet renewed). Unless you
renew your membership this is the last issue that you will receive. If
you decide that you do not wish to renew and have not notified me,
please do so. I would be interested in the reason for not
renewing. The only way that \ukt\ can 
improve its services is by feedback from members.

Everyone who has renewed, at the time of writing (8th February),
should have received an acknowledgement of the renewal. I always
acknowledge renewals and would like to hear from anyone who has not
received an acknowledgement.

For the record the membership statistics at 8th February are

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{lrr}
                            &  1995 &   1996\\
\hline

Total                        &  188    & 116
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

No doubt by the time that you read this they will have changed.

The two Honorary Members are Don Knuth and Malcolm Clark. I have not
yet been notified of any renewals from USA but there is at least one
person who has set the process in motion.

\section{Software distributions}
Turning to other matters for which I have a responsibility, I am
pleased to report that the original 50 copies of the 3rd edition of
the 4All\TeX\ CDROM have been sold and further supplies have been
ordered. 

The December~95 release of \LaTeXe\ has not yet been distributed but
will be sent to all who paid the \pounds 30/\pounds 5 fee in
1995. Andrew Trevorrow has indicated that Oz\TeX~2.0 will be available
later this year for distribution to paid up members. I have no further
information, at present, on updates for Em\TeX.

The book discounts have been increased to 20\% (except for those which
include VAT-able elements). A revised price list should be included with
this issue. In any case, if you are interested in any book from the
lists, please contact me and I can confirm the price etc. All prices
quoted include delivery to your address as on the membership form. I
would be grateful if you could notify me when books are delivered as
it eases the administrative problems with invoices.

My address, phone and fax appear in the masthead.
