Can I implore you to stop moaning right now and have a
good long look at what is being published in the new look RDU. Our NZ
editor Beryl Robinson from District 9920 has been totally successful in bending
the ear of the executive editor in Parramatta, with the net result that practically
every project story being presented the way Beryl has asked them to be
presented are finding their way to the publication. A significant number of
these stories (12 in the three editions leading up to Christmas) were from
clubs in District 9930. Beryl has put a lot of work into ensuring this happened
and I’d like to think that discussions members of our own Public Image
committee had with members of RDU when in Sydney at Convention have
helped Beryl and culminated in a great result for us all. The magazine,
particularly the editor, addresses some good contentious issues and it has
become a good read. The thing is that while this is happening now, it’s because
a number of clubs around the country are all fired up and making it happen.
We can’t allow this impetus to fade. Without your
assistance in ensuring your projects are at least available to the magazine,
we’ll lose the privileges and it’ll revert to the Australian format we all
remember. Use it or lose it!
