The newsletter is redundant and should fall away
Other suggestions for "Die Naghemel":

Please comment on the time and day of the week of our quarterly meetings, e.g. is 16h30 better than 19h00, is a Saturday better than a weekday, etc.:

What is the one thing about the club that troubles you most ( what is the biggest problem):
