THE Stroud News & Journal is looking for 30 people to take part in one of three discussion groups to discuss every aspect of the newspaper.

We want to learn what people think of the SNJ as it is now and how they think it could be improved for the future.

The sessions will take place at Stroud College on Wednesday, October 2 and Wednesday, October 30 starting at 2pm and finishing at 4pm.

Refreshments will be provided and we hope that a lively discussion will ensue. Honesty will be encouraged.

Editor Sue Smith will be there to answer questions and to ensure that the meeting starts and ends on time but the agenda will be set by the members of the group.

If you love or loathe the SNJ, would like to see it drastically changed or would be horrified if any changes were to take place, we are very keen to hear your thoughts so that we can produce a weekly paper that contains everything our readers want to see in it.

Please think seriously about taking part if you care about your local newspaper. It should be an interesting afternoon and your contribution will be greatly valued.

Anyone who would like to join one of the groups should email: sue.smith@stroudnewsandjournal.co.uk no later than Wednesday, September 11, 2013.

Please state which date you would like to attend.
