Your magazine needs to tell these communities what we are doing, what we are planning to do and generally how fabulously we do it!

Your magazine must have at least- An eye-catching cover page – with a sensational headline- A contents page – detailing the articles in the magazine- Brief message from the ‘president’ (or whoever you think is appropriate)

You will be given glue, scissors and marker pens and plenty of magazines you can cut up as well as articles of interest.
