Thanks all. osgeouk.slack.com has now been deleted.

Matt Walker - I don't have access to foss4guk2018.slack.com 
<http://foss4guk2018.slack.com>, would you mind deleting it? Or if you 
can't, please do let me know who is admin.

Best wishes,
Nick.

>             This policy will begin taking effect August 26th, 2024.
>             Workspaces will be notified prior to the policy impacting
