You can also view it online at the CFS website www.cfs.org.au and look under about us sub heading publications.

You can also get put on the mailing list by going to News and Media then click on subscriptions and fill out the application form online

That should point you in the right direction :-D

Post by: loopylou on February 19, 2007, 09:18:18 AM: I heard somewhere that there not sending out the mag to everyone anymore, that you have to subscribe if you want it. Anyone else heard the same?
Title: Re: Volunteer Magazine
Post by: Pipster on February 19, 2007, 03:27:09 PM: To my knowledge, they have never sent the magazine out to everyone.

They used to send out a box to each brigade, to hand out to members, but gave up on that idea, as boxes of magazines would just stack up at various brigades, and never get to the members.

So the Mags were posted to members, but now you need to sign up for a copy (which has been the case for several years now)

Contact CFS public affairs, or get onto the CFS website and subscribe. Free of charge.

Post by: Blue on February 28, 2007, 07:22:20 PM: I've subscribed three times for the Volunteer Magazine. I'd get it for a while and then I'd drop off the list. Maybe it will be fourth time lucky :-)

Post by: 5271rescue on March 01, 2007, 03:58:35 PM: Just call into a regional office they always have some on the table.....or ask athol if you can read his copy :roll:
Title: Re: Volunteer Magazine
Post by: Camo on March 01, 2007, 04:28:41 PM: I dont wanna cause a stir here or offend the media crew as they do an excellent job but....

Is it time we outsourced the magazine or some arrangement where 1 or 2 staff do just the magazine and nothing else?

Just throwing it out there. What do people think?

Post by: bittenyakka on March 02, 2007, 08:01:53 AM: well the magazine says that the deadline for anyth8ing to go in this issue was 26th of October. wouldn't this mean that there is almost nothing to go in this issue we are waiting for?
