This is, of course, the way that we originally started the newsletters/reports way back in 2008, when we took the Signpost model and adapted it. ;-)

E.g. see:

Thanks,
Mike

A model such as the Wikipedia signpost might work...

Which, for those that don't know, has a fairly regular format of things it covers (with a nice layout), plus it accepts articles/editorial from the community.

I'm sure the current monthly reports could be formatted in a similar way; find someone to be an "editor" to write the intro each month, and perhaps coerce jon into writing a short CE's report and you have the makings of a newsletter. 

Then it's a case of drumming up other articles :)

r own version.  We should  always bear this in mind, and encourage contributions from outside the existing r-l community, but probably early numbers will concentrate UK news on chapter & meetup affairs, as well as wider issues like the internet bill thingy.  But the main thing is to get one going.  Obviously, from the chapter POV, the newsletter should be a prime means of reaching out to the wider community and recruiting active volunteers.
