The newsletter is an A5 booklet published three times a year in February, June and September and posted directly to our branch members. Additional copies are printed for circulation at NCT drop-in groups, postnatal groups, antenatal classes, children's centres etc. for information for prospective members and the community. Our print run is currently 2000.
