Most courses have now had their first session, with '4th week' classes commencing on Monday, and Birdwatching, Bushwalking - Easy Walks, and Lifeball commencing in March.
Nearly 20 reports have already been received from convenors, however we'd like to send out a reminder as it's a short month with a deadline of Monday 24 February. The more reports we have in by the targeted deadline, the easier it is to manage the publication of the Newsletter by the 1st of the month.
Here are the Newsletter guidelines from the Convenors A-Z 2025:
"The deadline for newsletter articles is the 26th of the month or the 24th in February. Send reports to the Newsletter Editor, Heather Wallace (0418 353 244) at [email protected]. The newsletter is posted at the beginning of the next month.
Word Limits:
While most convenors write the newsletter report for their group, others appoint a newsletter correspondent and/or photographer to share the load. "

Word Limits:
- There is no minimum word limit, however 150 to 200/250 words is a comfortable range in which to report on the activities of most groups.
- Groups in which group members contribute content each session may require a higher maximum. Aim for 350 words, and no more than 500.
- Longer reports with very detailed information about class sessions are better suited to the website. In this case, please submit a shorter report for the newsletter with the longer report for the website.

Some other hints -
- Convenors with '!st Week' classes usually try to write and submit their reports within days of the class. We put them on the website as they are submitted to enable group members to read them without waiting a whole month for the newsletter!
- Convenors using Apple iPhones and iPads can assist us by exporting a Word or PDF document to us rather than a Pages or Notes document.
- It's fine to include your report in the body of the email you send us rather than as an attachment if you have trouble with these.
