HELP YOURSELF!

Welcome to 'Chatterbox'

-the quarterly Newsletter presenting Community News and Views from the South Central Black Isle in the Scottish Highlands

It was founded by Jack Malpas in September 1997, in response to the need then expressed for a mouthpiece for the Avoch & Killen Community Council and now continues as a medium for a full range of community news and views throughout its area. It is designed, printed and published in Avoch for the villages of Rosemarkie, Fortrose, Avoch & Killen and Munlochy and adjoining areas.

Contribute to Chatterbox on-line

And, if you are interested in contributing, you can join our Contributors' Group. Just send me a message asking to join - you will then have access to our Copy Writing Guide, Story Leads and other items to help you complete articles for submission to Chatterbox. Becoming an on-line contributor doesn't involve you in the Chatterbox committee (unless you want to, of course - and you'll be very welcome if you do), so there are no meetings to attend, no minutes to read, or any of that stuff. But you will have the opportunity to communicate with other Contributors' Group members from your computer and, for instance, pick up on any current story leads and write them up for submission and publication in Chatterbox magazine.
All the Contributors Group items will show on your screen when you have joined.
I look forward to hearing from you
Best wishes
Mike Noble
