As most of you will be aware, Susan has left us after a short and sweet stint as the editor of the Merkinch News and Views, and I have stepped into her shoes (small, but difficult ones to fill). Those of you that are familiar with the Merkinch Offices will already know me as Roz, the geek behind the desk at the Jobs and Information section. I am not a Merkincher by birth, I was born and brought up in Glasgow, though I have lived in the Merkinch area for over 7 years - so I guess I am an adoptee.

You will find me ensconced at No. 4, from 9am - 5pm, so please drop into the office, or phone me on 240085, if you have any juicy gossip, ideas or indeed articles, cartoons, or poems that I can include in the newsletter, and, of course, I will still be dealing with all your job vacancy enquiries.
