The Rolly Rag – feedback and a call for a community member to write a monthly update.

A monthly update encompassing Paluma and District “news” has been published in The Rollingstone Rag for quite a long time. However in recent times, this has not been the case. Is there anyone who would like to write a brief update of the goings on of our community on a regular basis, please respond in the comments for this post and I will let Barbara Drew, the co-ordinator of the Rolly Rag editorial, know.

Ā Barbara is also querying whether you wish to continue receiving your hard copies of the Rolly Rag as:

“…weā€™re trying to streamline our delivery, doing some hard copies for those that require them, whilst also providing a link to an electronic version.Ā  This is due to commence with the April edition.Ā  Do people in Paluma read the Rag and do you all want to continue getting a copy?Ā Ā  We are happy to do whatever suits your community best.Ā  Any input from you will be greatly appreciated.”

Please respond to Barbara’s query in the comments and I will let her know what you prefer. I’ll send a response to Barbara by the end of the month.
