Information for Microsoft 365 subscribers
Members who subscribe to Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) will probably have a shock to see a huge increase in the annual fee. This is because of the inclusion of Microsoft’s AI program, Copilot in the subscription.
If you do not want to use Copilot you can change to a ‘Classic’ subscription, which includes the usual Office apps without Copilot. The following information is taken from the Microsoft Support website. Click here to go to that page.

New scam phone calls and emails
Some members have advised they have received emails and/or phone calls telling them they must pay their class fees in advance or they will lose their place in their class. The calls have been from both male and female callers. The man has identified himself as “Richard”.
These calls and emails are a scam. Members are not obliged to pay for their classes in advance.
While paying in advance is an option for most classes, members still have the option of paying class by class using vouchers, which can be bought from the office.
