Editor’s Note: Where Now – for Our Magazine and Radio?



        Greetings Kind Folk,
        Yes, where do we go with the SAFFER Worldwide platform? Here’s
        a few ideas – keeping in mind that the Mission for SWW is to build
        friendship bridges – and to be like that voice in the wilderness - for
        folk who may be longing to hear a vaguely familiar voice… or read
        something unexpected:
        •      We are keen on “Letters to the Editor.” Share your thoughts –
        please keep it positive… and friendly. I already know I’m a muppet so
        you don’t have to rub it in.

        •      How about getting a fun “Classified” section going? Yep, you
        let us know about your B&B – or, the CD and DVD’s you have no need
        for.

        •      Veterans, please share a tale or two. We need the space to talk
        so, here’s a platform – share a memory… or seven

        •      The Chopper Corner welcomes contributions from around
        the world – no, this is not an aviation magazine but we have a soft spot
        for choppers!
        Magazine content? We reached out to a few folk asking for sport
        contributions – but alas, it seems our requests have, to date, fallen on
        deaf ears. We’d love rugby content, both 15 men’s/ ladies and Sevens.
        However, we can do with regular contributions from folk who have
        a passion for sport, whatever sport it may be… even jukskei… tell us   and necessary instructions to get you going! Experience required? NIL.
        about it!                                             True. However, a love for good music, maybe even a drop of passion…
                                                              and the secret craving to be a rock DJ will get you going. That’s all I
        How about poems, flash fiction and other bits of creative writing? Yes?   had… and look at me now, simply flying along… hahhahhha!
        Then, your hobbies… show and tell - get us involved with your pastime
        and even place the odd item in the classifieds - our very own etsy-bet-  DJ’s Down Under please line up – so you can look after your side of
        sy-bay of the ee’s type of store – it’s about raising awareness and sharing   the globe – in real time! DJ’s in the Americas will do fine too… and
        fun.                                                  why not a DJ or three in good old SA? It’s about stirring friendship and
                                                              memories – mistakes will be happily ignored, promise!
        Next up… let’s have a brief chat about the radio. We are experiencing
        difficulties with Google Chrome’s search engine settings. The Big G   Right… time for me to get out and do some gardening… no, it’s too
        seems to have changed its operating procedures and this is causing   cold outside so I may do a painting or sketch. Before I go, please let me
        umpteen headaches for Chrome users! Sorry folk, we here at SWW are   know if you’d be interested in an easy listening Sunday afternoon “clas-
        not doing this to test you, I promise! (We have prepared a cheat sheet   sical” session? Right… here’s an ABFF… send us your voice clips – and/
        for Chrome and Samsung which may work for the other platforms as   or send us happenings you want to promote – we’ll happily add them
        well. Feel free to email us at safferww@gmail.com and we will send you   to the radio – to be played randomly or during regular shows.

        ing the Auto DJ content – yep, it is now quite a few degrees above
        “elevator music” standards. What do I mean by that? I want you to be   Thank you,
        able to “tune in” and have a relaxing time of it. I want the music to be   Vossie
        interesting yet easy listening while you chip away at the coalface. The
        major concern is the 24 hour reach! The folk in Oz or NZ are about   Editor’s PS – The virus is spreading… stay safe – don’t do things that
        twelve hours ahead of us… that’s why I’m calling on all stations, please!   place you and your family in danger. Is it only me but I stay well clear
        We need DJ’s! Yep… all you need is your laptop full of music and your   of doctor’s surgeries and soon I’ll avoid chemists too? How about pub-
