Hello Janet & Colin,
Compliments on your Village Newsletter from afar, it sets a high standard. I have to admit I did’nt know where Sulgrave was! As an interested former editor of a local independent community newsletter near Ambleside, Cumbria, I look at any I can find on the web and thought I would pass on a comment, though recognise you know clearly what your are doing. As an independent publication, though paid for primarily by your parish council, how do you manage to publish criticisms of the PC which must arise?
With many years of publishing an A4 12 page newsletter, mostly free & delivered, plus exposure on a now discontinued website, we found advertising easily paid for it, even at modest rates, and when it closed (after 22 years) distributed £4000 to local charities/voluntary organisations.
You don’t have to reply to this, but I would be interested to know what you think. Regards, Douglas Worrall
As an ex resident of sulgrave one of my earliest childhood memories is messing about in the stream /ditch at the bottom of the garden at sulgrave farm convinced my sister and I had discovered the source of the Nile and drinking this sparkling pure spring water ——my father felt the source was more likely to be Mr Cherry’s duck pond and was of doubtful purity and refused a cup full of this nectar ——we suffered no ill effects but were not allowed to drink again on threat of severe punishment —-mid 1960’s pws killick
