[SSC] Membership form and Letter to

[Michael Neary]

Dear All,
This is great work and moves us on a long way.
Thanks to Jennifer for getting this into a state that Joss could take further.
Joss and I did some work on the letter to mail out to prospective members. You can view this on the shared google docs site.
Best wishes,
Mike
