After countless delightful holidays in Sandbanks, we were finally lucky enough to buy a place in Sandbanks in Summer this year. Like I imagine most of you do, I pinch myself every morning I wake up. Sandbanks is just brilliant; it\u2019s beautiful, bijou and the sun always seems to shine more than anywhere else in Britain! So it&#8217;s no surprise that I spend as much time as possible here, with my partner and our two boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/scg.writtenright.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_1047-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-97\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scg.writtenright.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_1047-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/scg.writtenright.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_1047-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scg.writtenright.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_1047-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scg.writtenright.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_1047-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/scg.writtenright.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_1047-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\" id=\"_eNFNftEiWg1oz1\"><strong><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">So why could I write great newsletters for SCG?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"_n4p3hQWcvaJgx2\">I&#8217;ve got lots of experience in creating engaging content for communities and groups.  For a number of years now, I&#8217;ve written for community magazines, designed and developed websites and even written my own book to support parents who have lost their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like to think I&#8217;ve got what it takes to pull together  a great looking, energetic, easy to read newsletter.  And the fact that I love Sandbanks has got to help, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone who knows me well will say that I&#8217;m a bit quirky.  But I think that&#8217;s a good thing.  I&#8217;ve got  loads of ideas on how we could bring this newsletter to life.  This should hopefully  help both engage and broaden membership, and give something that can provide fuller updates to those currently shared on Whatsapp and the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I won&#8217;t be shy when it comes to suggesting ideas.  I hope a newsletter will be something that can build nicely onto the existing website and social media too.  But, of course, it needs a name first: Peninsula Points? The Sandbanks Skinny? Smooth Waters? The list of options goes on! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong><em>So What Does a Newsletter Mean to Me?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, aside from expanding on what you already communicate, I think a newsletter (or the digital version at least) should serve as a two way tool. So why not use it to see what our fellow residents think? This could be hot topics like the use of Beryl Bikes &amp; Scooters, or simple things just to gather consensus. We could, for example, even ask them what this newsletter should be called!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"frm_forms  with_frm_style frm_style_formidable-style\" id=\"frm_form_2_container\" data-token=\"1f63913e581f7a251d105bb78f6bb8a5\">\n<form enctype=\"multipart\/form-data\" method=\"post\" class=\"frm-show-form \" id=\"form_whatshouldwecallournewsletter\"  data-token=\"1f63913e581f7a251d105bb78f6bb8a5\">\n<div class=\"frm_form_fields \">\n<fieldset>\n<legend class=\"frm_screen_reader\">What Should We Call Our Newsletter?<\/legend>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"frm_fields_container\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"frm_action\" value=\"create\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"form_id\" value=\"2\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"frm_hide_fields_2\" id=\"frm_hide_fields_2\" value=\"\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"form_key\" value=\"whatshouldwecallournewsletter\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"item_meta[0]\" value=\"\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" id=\"frm_submit_entry_2\" name=\"frm_submit_entry_2\" value=\"a8abb18e70\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wp_http_referer\" value=\"\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33\" \/><div id=\"frm_field_6_container\" class=\"frm_form_field form-field  frm_top_container vertical_radio\">\r\n    <div  id=\"field_4ftrw_label\" class=\"frm_primary_label\">Choose Your Favourite Name\r\n        <span class=\"frm_required\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"frm_opt_container\" aria-labelledby=\"field_4ftrw_label\" role=\"group\">\t\t<div class=\"frm_checkbox\" id=\"frm_checkbox_6-0\"><label for=\"field_4ftrw-0\"><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"item_meta[6][]\" id=\"field_4ftrw-0\" value=\"Peninsula Points\"  data-frmval=\"Other\" data-invmsg=\"Choose Your Favourite Name is invalid\" aria-invalid=\"false\"   \/> Peninsula Points<\/label><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"frm_checkbox\" id=\"frm_checkbox_6-1\"><label for=\"field_4ftrw-1\"><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"item_meta[6][]\" id=\"field_4ftrw-1\" value=\"Smooth Waters\"  data-frmval=\"Other\" data-invmsg=\"Choose Your Favourite Name is invalid\" aria-invalid=\"false\"   \/> Smooth Waters<\/label><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"frm_checkbox\" id=\"frm_checkbox_6-2\"><label for=\"field_4ftrw-2\"><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"item_meta[6][]\" id=\"field_4ftrw-2\" value=\"Scene in Sandbanks\"  data-frmval=\"Other\" data-invmsg=\"Choose Your Favourite Name is invalid\" aria-invalid=\"false\"   \/> Scene in Sandbanks<\/label><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"frm_checkbox\" id=\"frm_checkbox_6-3\"><label for=\"field_4ftrw-3\"><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"item_meta[6][]\" id=\"field_4ftrw-3\" value=\"The Sandbanks Skinny\"  data-frmval=\"Other\" data-invmsg=\"Choose Your Favourite Name is invalid\" aria-invalid=\"false\"   \/> The Sandbanks Skinny<\/label><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"frm_checkbox\" id=\"frm_checkbox_6-4\"><label for=\"field_4ftrw-4\"><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"item_meta[6][]\" id=\"field_4ftrw-4\" value=\"Sandbanks Waves\"  data-frmval=\"Other\" data-invmsg=\"Choose Your Favourite Name is invalid\" aria-invalid=\"false\"   \/> Sandbanks Waves<\/label><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"frm_checkbox\" id=\"frm_checkbox_6-5\"><label for=\"field_4ftrw-5\"><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"item_meta[6][]\" id=\"field_4ftrw-5\" value=\"Changing Tides\"  data-frmval=\"Other\" data-invmsg=\"Choose Your Favourite Name is invalid\" aria-invalid=\"false\"   \/> Changing Tides<\/label><\/div>\n<\/div>\r\n    \r\n    \r\n<\/div>\n\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"item_key\" value=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"frm_verify\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"frm_email_2\">\n\t\t\t\t\tIf you are human, leave this field blank.\t\t\t\t<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" class=\"frm_verify\" id=\"frm_email_2\" name=\"frm_verify\" value=\"\"  \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"frm_submit\">\r\n\r\n<button class=\"frm_button_submit\" type=\"submit\"  >Submit<\/button>\r\n\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/fieldset>\n<\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the point of the newsletter is to pull together a summary of all the great work that Sandbanks Community Group does.
