We have the radio on in the office and all they've been talking about all day is "Black Friday" and the crowds and queues and fisti-cuffs in the shops! Are people mad? What possesses people to go mental shopping just because it might be a bit cheaper.... Bah Humbug!
But it's still not too late to order your Christmas cards from us!!

Black Friday
Well it would be rude not to jump onto the bandwagon, wouldn't it, despite my griping before... Despite the fact that it's now Saturday - I ran out of time to complete this email yesterday!
All orders through our webshop for ANYTHING can take an extra 15% discount today, and over the weekend just by putting in BLACKCMT into the discount box when you're checking out!
Aren't we a generous lot?
But they really are lovely Christmas Cards, and we've just had another delivery of these ones, so there are plenty to go round.
But if you use our Black Friday offer, then it really follows that Giving Tuesday is a day when you donate all that you saved today back to us! How's that for a deal?
Giving Tuesday is a global initiative to make people think a little about charity or being charitable. And of course, your favourite little charity is just desperate for MORE funds to achieve our BIG plans with...!!!
If you can read this, this explains more about the global initiative or you can download a copy of this here.
What we're asking, more than just money, is that you share this information on your social media links etc, and really make this global initiative work!
And if you ARE feeling generous (think of all that money saved today!) please go to www.cmt.org.uk/donate.php to make a donation!
Fundraising Manager
Following Nichola's departure, we've finally recruited a replacement. George Brown will be joining us in the New Year - well, I think so, it's still be absolutely decided, since he only accepted the offer yesterday! So we'll let him introduce himself properly then, and you can look forward to hearing all about his plans for how he will helps us achieve our plans!
Annual Conference
Booking is now open for all at www.cmt.org.uk/annual-conference.php and all the paperwork relating to the Conference will be available for download in the New Year.
In order to save humongous amounts of money on paperwork, we are only posting you the absolute minimum of paper - just the formal notice of the AGM and Conference and your Grand Prize Draw raffle tickets (if you're a full member) It'll save us several hundred pounds in postage.
Look out for the paperwork in January. Don't forget - this year's will be particularly special with Dr Mike Shy heading over the pond from Iowa just to talk to us!
I hope you survived if you did brave the crowds yesterday - or maybe your preference is Cyber Monday, when everyone does their online shopping? If you do, don't forget to check out www.easyfundraising.org.uk - you can raise funds for us just by doing your shopping using that website as a starting point - there are thousands of websites to choose from and we get commission on your purchases. Easy peasy!
