We've sent out a couple of newsletters so far, at the end of May and a few days ago, but some have noticed that the emails have been getting hidden in spam folders. If you've signed up to be kept informed of what is going on with BayShare, please make sure that [email protected] is in your list of contacts. Also, if you registered on the site, but didn't receive an email verification email, then that might be found in your spam folder too!

If you want to be added to our list of subscribers, you can do that by checking the box in your BayShare account page (https://things.bayshare.uk/profile/edit) or, if you aren't registered but still want to be kept in the loop, when sending us a contact message (https://things.bayshare.uk/contact).

We are very sorry for these issues! Do also get in contact if you are still having problems! https://things.bayshare.uk/contact
