20th Anniversary Kyogle Bull Ride Spectacular Rusty, Helen Trustum, Motoring & much more Fourteenth Edition Well another issue down and we've already started on Issue 15. We at the Heartland office have been busy planning not only the next issue but what's coming up in all issues for 2018. We recently had a gent come in to our office to talk about grammatical and spelling in some of our stories, in all of the issues he has been the only one to say something. Now, to clear things up. We have people write in stories to us, they write from experiences and from the heart, we don't touch them up or make them sound better. Lots of highs and lows this month. Sharon and I were nominated for Richmond Valley Councils Australia Day Citizen of the Year for 2018, definitely a high and we were very honoured to be nominated. We have a new writer on board with us, Michelle is great to work with and you will be reading many of her stories in this issue and future issues. Michelle joins Sharon, Mart and myself and the Heartland family, so a BIG welcome to Michelle. Sharon and I got to meet the cast of Mrs Browns Boys whilst they were touring Australia and we'll be bring this story in a coming issue. We've been doing a bit of travel between magazines and will be bringing you a bit of our experiences and reviewing everything from cruising on P & O's newest ship to camping on Rainbow Beach. We have many big plans for 2018 and Heartland Magazine will be growing from strength to strength. Thank you to our Advertisers in Heartland Magazine, for always being there and to all of our readers if you need a good business or trade look through each issue of Heartland and use the businesses that advertise in it and tell them you saw them in Heartland Magazine. The lows. A lot has been written about the loss of Malcolm Wallis in the past month and we are lost for words at Malcolms passing. Malcolm was a good friend to both Sharon and I from our days at Kyogle High to his passing, he had a vision for his town and loved his Kyogle. I loved catching up with Malcolm and listening to his stories, his love of his family, his EH Holden and Kyogle, we will miss him very much. Our sincerest condolences to Malcolms family. Once again thank you to all of our readers.
