Girl’s corner.
Lisa Williams was talking to us recently and she thinks the RAM is a bit too “Blokey”. She thinks it needs a female’s touch to make it more appealing to our female readers and she would like to do something about it. Starting next issue, Lisa is going to write a column but she needs your help girls.
Lisa would like you to send her copies of any photos you might have and/or details of any amusing or embarrassing incidents you might have locked away, stories about what you or others got up to during your time in the WRAAF/RAAF. She will edit the stories and send them to us.
You can contact Lisa here lisa@radschool.org.au

Course Photos.
We intend to eventually have copies of as many RAAF courses (with names) as it is possible to obtain. When finished you will be able to search by course name and/or personal name and if your course is there, get a copy. Availability is the big problem, some photos are easy to get others we have to travel to copy but over the coming months we intend to do so. We now have most of the WRAAF course photos and names and will get them up soon. You can check what we have by going to the www.Radschool.org.au site then click “Course Photos”. If you see any errors let us know or if we're missing any names and you can provide them - please do.
Over time the list we've started will be expanded, we hope to be able to include courses that were held at Wagga, Frogers, Pt Cook, Sale etc.

Photos
Most (but not all) of the photos on our pages have been ‘crunched’ to make them open faster. If you want a copy of any in their original condition just email us, use the “Contact Us” link at the top of page, tell us which one you want (Vol and page #) and if we have a better copy we’ll email it back to you.
This edition contains a lot of photos and if your internet connection is not all that fast you will find some pages will take a while to load. If this is the case, it is best if you just open the page and wait a little while until it fully downloads before trying to navigate through it.

Membership.
Please check the list of names and if you’ve joined but your name isn't there, please click on the "Join the Association" tag (there's one on the top of each page) fill in the details again and send it to us. If you’re not a member and would like to be, do likewise. Membership is FREE!
Also,
if you change your address, or phone numbers or email address, or you just
want to say hello, or you want to give us a tongue lashing, you can do so by
clicking on the "Contact Us" tag, also at the top of each page and
filling in the details. It's so easy even an instrument fitter could do it, it's all done on line, no printing out forms and no
postage. Over the
past couple of months we have been able to put a bunch of people in contact
with long lost mates - but that's only because we have your details. Please
click on the Join the Association tag and fill it in, the more people
that join the more we can match up. If you
just want to get the RAM, but don’t want to join the association, that’s not
a problem either. Just click on the “Contact Us” link at the top of each page
and fill in the details and tell us to add your email to the list. Then
whenever a new edition is released you will be advised. We don't and won't give
out your details to anyone so there is no risk of you being spammed.

Reunions.
If you're having a reunion and you would like us to cover it and publish it, let us know (well in advance if possible) and we'll see what can be done.
Errors Our aim is to have this site error free – but that’s probably impossible. But with your help I reckon we can get pretty close. If you see any errors, be they punctuation, spelling, links that don’t work, facts wrong etc, (no matter how small) please let us know so we can fix them.
