Raymond Island Net 2016: take 2

I had lots of feedback last week, reminding us to include a live link to the web site in the email news update - now done! And, realising you may not have seen the last news items, check the blog archive on the right hand side. There you'll also see the summary of changes already made to the site to improve it this year - in the January 8 item 'Raymond Island Net 2016'.
In taking on the role of webmaster for Raymond Island Net, my aim is to have a growing pool of contributors - making the site a truly community based endeavour. This year, I'm looking for a two regular volunteers:
  • An 'editor' for our weekly review section on Insider who can source and prepare 'tasters' of of books, movies or places to eat out. They're only short - around 150 words, depending on whether there's a picture or details (address etc.) to include.
  • If there's interest, there's also room for a new section on Insider - Digital Tricks. If any one is technically minded and can provide short tips on using computers (PCs, tablets, smart phones), common programs (MS Office) and the internet (browsers, email, social media) - I think there are lots of readers who'd enjoy picking up new and easy tricks of the trade.
If you're interested in either role, please email me at RaymondIslandNet@gmail.com. Our weather watchers and quiz master each have 'backup' folk who keep us up to date when it's holiday time - so there's plenty of scope for a couple of people to share each column. 

Oh, and don't forget to enter our 'Where's Raymond' competition (details on Insider). It's open to Islanders and, once again, Captovation is offering a devonshire tea for the best postcard each month. 

Stuart Whiffen's offering!
