For The Greyton Post to review

This page is waiting for The Greyton Post to check it. It is published now so that they can see how it fits with the rest of the site. Until they have approved the text, it may change. Questions for them:

  1. Is this description of the paper and its services correct? What would you like to change?
  2. Are the prices for a directory listing (R550) and a place on the village map (R300) still current?
  3. Is there anything you would like to add about The Greyton Collective?
  4. Should readers reach you through the moderators, or would you like a public contact listed?
