Money and resources wasted by the Club

Ours went into the recycling without being opened. We don't do begging letters of any kind. 

I picked the letter up off the doormat, looked at the envelope, and tossed it straight in the recycling bin too.  I already have RAC Arrival.

I was also puzzled by the letter as a long standing member of Mayday. I imagine the cost was covered by Green Flag rather than the Club but take the point about the waste of materials. The only reason I can think of is that as the Club don't have access to Green Flag's customer data base so the only way it can be done is by a blanket distribution.

As the letter had address details I was concerned that a couple of you said it was thrown in the recycling unopened, don't people shred sensitive information?

is Mayday  a part of the club? or a separate organisation that simply bought the mailing list from the club?

Will the income generated by new Mayday members be more than the cost of the mail costs?

I'm not really bothered.

Post edit what David said

Would putting a tick in the appropriate box under 'Communication Preferences' in your membership Profile stop that?

Maybe that’s why I’ve not had a letter and don't get emails either.👍🏻

Me neither TW, I have ticked them all other than the magazine   and the sites directory , it seems to work for me.

I am bothered about unnecessary waste - resources are finite. Even recycling costs money.

Shouldn't the Club be a little more responsible (or bothered) in this aspect?

I’ve just had a look at mine and X'd out a few I’d missed. I promptly got an email thanking me for updating my preferences. Should they have done that seeing I’ve opted not to receive emails (or post or phone calls)?🤔

Thanks for the suggestion.

I had not visited that area before. I have now opted out of certain communications so I'll see if that makes any difference.
