DECEMBER 2013
Now that we appear to be getting the hang of
this, we want to start thinking about the future of
the roundabout.
Firstly to assist in co-ordination of events in the
village I am proposing that a diary be kept by
the editorial team so that event organisers can
check for date conflicts. Initially this will be kept
by us but will eventually go on the Roundabout
website when that is live. To notify us of events
please email us at the editor address (Note this
is separate to ‘For Your Diary’ articles)
Secondly we want to try and change the content
of the Roundabout to make it more dynamic and
interactive - and so are looking for ideas on arti-
cles and pieces that could be included. This
month we have a book review from a local book
club (see page 6). We hope to include puzzles,
stories and other articles in future so please
contact us with your ideas! And send us photos
or sketches for the front cover!
As alluded to above the Roundabout will soon
have it's own website! More details in future edi-
tions!
Finally the team would like to wish all our read-
ers and contributors a Very Merry Xmas and a
Happy New Year!
