In June 1965, the very first issue of the Bulletin rolled off the (somewhat more primitive) press.
The first edition ran to four typewritten pages, with most of one page devoted to the bus timetable. Later, pictures and more complex contributions appeared, and the pages were compiled by hand, with literal cutting and pasting, before a switch to electronic compilation in the 2010s.
The Bulletin has always been a team effort; we thank today’s team of people who provide content, manage the advertising, manage the website, look after the
money, print, bundle and distribute the Bulletin to every dwelling in the village (and some further afield), as well as those who did so over the last 60 years. Remarkably, until earlier this year, the Bulletin had had only three editors: Roger Cambray, Robert Long and Chris Whatmore. Here we celebrate their dedicated service to the village and their achievement in growing the Bulletin into what it is today. Neville Hargreaves (editor 2025- )
