malumbu Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Interesting article on BBC website yesterday (can't find the link) about how not to write round robins:"Don?t go on about how successful your children have been? ?Don?t go on about what a brilliantly successful year you have had? ?Don?t go on about the brilliant holiday you had this year? We get two each year, one wants me to throw-up. Knowing the family well their life is far from perfect, but you wouldn't believe it from the letter.The other tells of the years worth of disasters, and odd goings on, which is welcome and amusing.There are of course books and blogs on this sort of thing. Be interesting to hear your stories, and views for and against. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/27473-xmas-round-robins/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salsaboy Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 That's not a round robin, it's more like a long thin robin. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/27473-xmas-round-robins/#findComment-602557 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmora Man Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 The original round robin was an 18th century letter signed in a circle by mutineers in the Navy or members of, then banned, trade unions. The idea being that the initial or leader's signature couldn't be identified by being at the head of a list of signatories. The Lynne Truss BBC link on how best to handle todays Round Robins is amusing.
