I hope you all enjoyed the Winter edition of the newsletter (NL). I am now starting to put together the Spring edition. In an effort to make it interesting and personal and more fun for you to read, I am seeking contributions. The things I am most interested in receiving (veg-related preferred unless otherwise mentioned):

-Recipes. I prefer vegan as they are more inclusive, but please add the vegan alternative in non-vegan recipes
-Personally-written articles or stories
-Photos from events (I will assume the people in the photo have said it's OK to publish): please include details of the event, such as date, and names of the people in the photo, if possible, in your initial email

-Suggestions for veg*n products and places to shop (online, local, interstate, vegan, ethical)
-Links to interesting (but not too long) veg-related articles that I can re-produce
-Letters or articles you have had published elsewhere such as a newspaper (please provide electronic copy plus details of where and when it was published)
-Reviews of movies/DVDs (not necessarily veg-related but that would be great), books, websites… (mostly veg-related), restaurants (veg or veg-friendly, local or otherwise)

Looking through past editions (all available on our website) may give you ideas. I will consider everything I receive. Anything you send may end up in the NL but sometimes things will be held over to anohter edition, so it's important to put as much detail in your initial email (such as names of people/locations and dates to accompany photos) as possible. That way I am not chasing you for more info much later when you have forgotten what it was about. Looking forward to seeing your ideas. Please send to
