PARISH NEWS
We need a new magazine correspondent, or correspondents. At present, Nell Steele writes most of the East Winch information for the parish magazine. She is hoping to move away later in the spring. In order to carry on the village’s representation in the magazine, someone else needs to take over. It would also work if the village organisations were to send the editor their own news, as the RSPCA has begun to do.
Send copy to the editor Chris Hudson - editorofparishnews@gmail.com.
Magazine copy is also put on the Village Website. Please e-mail webmaster@eastwinchandwestbilney.co.uk
Please get in touch with Nell (840814) if you have any queries.
