The latest BSB News is out. Liz has edited this, once a term, almost since we arrived. BSB stands for British School of Bangkok – the posher name of Topsy Turvy where our two charmers go. This issue features a report of a month-long charity motorbike ride around Thailand by the Principal’s two daughters (who are also cover teachers), how the children made Jungle Juice to raise money for the Haiti earthquake appeal, an article on the schools in the rural north that BSB supports, the usual focus on one of the teachers, a report of BSB’s first ever football match against another school (which ended 3:3 but they lost on penalties – why couldn’t they have just settled on a draw?) and some healthy recipes. All good stuff.I used to edit a footie fanzine, To Feet! To Feet!!, so I know how much work goes into them. Sourcing stories, getting parents to contribute, obtaining photos, designing it all, preparing it for the printer… and then very little feedback once it’s out. It’s a thankless task sometimes. But it’s a good source of info, fosters a community spirit, keeps us in the thick of things (for better or worse!) and is nicely designed. And it keeps up Liz's editing & publishing skills. Who'll do it when we leave?
