a HUGE thank you • “More Auckland stories”; • “I am a little concerned that the SNN neglects the North Island when it prints regional stories; Ch-Ch features so much, me thinks that Auckland is non-existent.” To remedy this situation, we are looking to have more people based around the country who can and will contribute articles. If you would like to share a story, please, get in touch with us. If you have little or no experience with writing, we can help you to write the article. On behalf of the SNN team, I would like to say a huge thank you to all those people who responded to the survey and wrote in with their ideas, suggestions and requests. We are really excited! We now feel we have an exciting platform on which to keep improving the SNN for you, the reader, and we aim to reflect many of the ideas from this survey starting in 2014.
