On the general point, it is my opinion that the Charity is a subset of the
UK community; much as with a square and a rectangle, all that is
Charity-related is ipso facto UK community-related; but not all that is UK
community-related is necessarily Charity-related.
There's probably a technical term
For what its worth, I would prefer that WMUK matters are included to this
list rather than have a separate mailing list. In my view the amount of UK

Another example: I get emails from The Tellers for the AGM. I assume

for electing the Trustees and appo

Yes, in my opinion. Then I will set up an email filter, and deal this
