Write for Easey?
Easey is our biannual members magazine and our Editor Richie 1250 is seeking volunteer writers.

Things that have some current relevance are particularly good, an act that's about to tour, an old thing that's recently been re-issued, etc... Seeking either 600, 1200, or 1800 words. Ideas, suggestions, submissions, etc should be sent to Richie 1250 - contactable at stonelovepbs[at]gmail[dot]com. Deadline for articles would be October 25th.

Fine Print Policies and Procedures
It is important for all volunteers and staff to be familiar with this. See the policies and procedures here and http://pbs.org.au/policy. The Policies and Procedures Handbook ensures that PBS remains in safe compliance with the Codes of Practice and other relevant legislation. It also positions PBS volunteers, announcers and staff to operate with a shared, clear understanding of how things work at PBS. Please read it carefully. And if you’re inspired, why not consider becoming a PBS shareholder?
