We are following the same pattern as David indicated, and trying to get away from needing to mail anything by post. Hand delivering flyers, or getting other groups to print a few is often what we do. We also have flyers downloadable from the website (preliminary flyers are often 2 or 4 to a page to save paper), so group leaders can print from there as needed.
