Spam? We don't give away spam (or any other kind of food)! - Gazette Issue 6 - 1424 S.R.
O
dear, the month of May ended in chaotic situations at the Gazette's
Office. Our distributor did not deliver new issues to the usual selling
points. All was solved within a day, luckily. We filed a complaint and
someone must have seen the error of their ways: Most likely someone
seemed to think that we give away freebies with the Gazette in the form
of perishable foodstuff (spam). We would never do that, ofcourse! All we
want to do is give our readers the latest news on what is going on in
the Shire. And that is a freebie in itself, as you do not have to pay
for reading it.
Well, I sure am glad this was
sorted soon, as I am planning on leaving on a trip out of bounds. I'll
be out of bounds for three weeks starting June 16, but the other editors
will make sure the Gazette is kept up to date. So it's lazy days for me
and my family in a warm environment. Not the Lonelands, no, that is a
bit too warm to my liking!
Don't be alarmed when you see only few or no special events here. Obviously, due to Summer Holiday Season few events are being organised. But it's not forbidden! And the Gazette will gladly publish your announcement.
