As a Member and part-owner of the Society you have a say in how the Society is run and an opportunity to vote on important issues. Accordingly, you will receive certain information from the Society. For example, voting papers for the annual elections, share of profit payments and invitations to member meetings. We call these communications “service messages”. Importantly, you cannot opt out of them as we are obliged to tell you about such matters. You will also receive exclusive offers and benefits in relation to goods or services from the Society’s businesses or other co-operatives which we believe may be of interest to you (known as “marketing messages”). You will have the option to opt-out of these communications if you do not wish to receive them.
