Anyone else get the email from UKASH about the introduction of charges for the previously fairly favourable currency card?

Looks like there will be inactivity and usage charges introduced before my next European summer hols.

I need to get my Euros out before I am charged an ongoing fee after 10 April - any ideas whether there are any euro cash machines in London where I can get it all out the card without incurring charges? Or is there a way to transfer to a new card with more favourable fees? Tia

Email from UKASH below for information:
