Hi Everyone,

It was wonderful visiting the region last week and meeting so many of you. Thank you for making me feel so welcome.

I especially enjoyed exploring the beautiful shops around Burdekin with our Sales Manager, Trish, who I am sure many of you know or recognise.

There is such a genuine sense of community spirit in the region, which feels quite rare these days. It was lovely to see how close-knit the community is and how passionate everyone is about the area.

If I did not get the chance to meet you last week, I will be in the region every Wednesday and Thursday. If you have any story ideas or something you would like to share, please feel free to reach out and I will do my best to pop in and see you.

Also, I am a big foodie, so if you have any recommendations for great places to eat in the region, I would love to hear them.

I am really looking forward to getting to know you all better and learning more about your amazing lives and stories as I begin getting used to the region.

Happy Reading!

Ruth
