The Bugle Group on Facebook

Rethymnon Coffee Morning Bugle - Now on FacebookAs some of you will already know, in February we launched an online group for the Bugle on Facebook (the social networking site). It’s an open group, anyone can join, and we would love to receive your feedback, suggestions for features, and photos etc. It’s also another way for us to post details of up and coming events as and when they happen - in between publication dates - and to make announcements . And remember, the forum on www.rethymnon.biz is alive and kicking, too!

This is the link for the Facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=54919322524


Crossword Competition: Bonus Points in July

As the Bugle team were a little bit clueless last month, we awarded 5 bonus points to our contestants. Judy Hall and Trevor and Linda Sanders remained undaunted (even supplying the answers to the missing clues) and once again rose to the challenge. Judy is still in first place, now on 25 points, Trevor and Linda have 22 points. All to play for! The rules of our competition go like this. Submit your entries to us by the copy deadline and each month we will publish a running tally of top five scorers. At the end of the year, the top scoring contestant(s) will win a meal for two at a restaurant in Rethymnon courtesy of the Bugle. You will find the solution to last month’s crossword on our Fun and Games page, and some hints towards the end of the month on our Facebook group wall. Keep those entries rolling in!
