What?

Ideas, articles and photographs for the Journal are very welcome at any time, whether they are about something that has happened to you, or in your community, or just voicing your views. In particular, we welcome contributions to the following pages, features or columns:

• News, views and opinions on how and where you live and experiences of life with the Army.
• Strong feelings or a question on a particular subject for Postbag.
• Career or training experiences for the Workplace pages.
• Personal experiences and feedback for Health, Education, Additional Needs, Housing, Foreign & Commonwealth issues and life as a TA family.
• Community action and good ideas happening in your Garrison to be encouraged in others, or just a bright idea or a blindingly obvious suggestion to change things.
• Photographs of what may be happening in your community for our News From Around The World pages.

How?

Where possible, text/copy should be emailed to us in Microsoft Word to editor@afj.org.uk. Digital photographs must be very high resolution and in focus! Please email photographs and captions to us or pop images on a CD (protected in a jiffy bag) and post to the Journal office – remember to include your captions on a separate sheet. Send to: Editor, Army Families Federation, Trenchard Lines, Upavon, Pewsey, Wiltshire SN9 6BE

When?

If you would like to write something for Journal, but want to talk to us about it first, just call us on 01980 615518. If you want to put news of an event in your area in to the Journal, let us know when and where it is happening. We want the Journal to be as topical and up-to-date as possible, even though we have to deliver the magazine to the publishers five weeks ahead of publication.
