The year’s first Star is a good opportunity to remind the reasoning behind the Star’s being established fifteen years ago was to provide the community with a regular platform to share news and information – to let the community know what’s happening and going to happen.
However we do rely on the community providing us with their news.
Being run by volunteers limits the amount of time team members can collect news and conduct interviews. To really succeed the Star relies on input from every body. Both general interest and club or group news.
It can be of particular value in providing publicity for groups, clubs and organisations. So often we hear tales from club members worrying about their dwindling numbers. And on the other hand of people saying ‘I’d like to have joined that club if I had known it existed’.
Feedback shows that the great majority of Martinborough people fully read ‘their’ Star. Would you like them to know about your club? All you have to do is give us your copy by the last Wednesday of each month. We would love to publish it for you, along with any interest items of general interest.
