Page Please support our loyal advertisers INCES Hunters from £25 Men’s & Sherwood Ladies’ Now Outdoor in Stock Wear 25 Ipswich Street Stowmarket, Suffolk T 01449 612664 IP14 1AH Page 2 A Letter from the Editor The Wyverstone, Cotton & Bacton Yearbook is an annual publication containing advertisements from local businesses (mainly on the yellow pages) and information about all our local organisations, churches, local politicians and so on (on the white pages) as well as bus timetables and doctors’ surgery hours (on the green centre pages). A large number of people deserve thanks for giving their time to the Yearbook. Amanda Hagger managed to find willing advertisers, Brian Manley has managed the accounts, Audrey Erbany has contributed her fabulous paintings and a huge number of volunteers have delivered this magazine to your door. Without such dedicated volunteers this Yearbook would never be produced. Last year we raised about £800 which is being used to support the various Community Projects centred on the new facilities in St Mary’s Church. These will include a work club, a club for older teenagers, a drop in café and a club for carers. This year, even though we have more advertisers, we should raise about £650 which will also go to these projects. Our decline in profit this year is due to increased printing costs. And if you would like to produce next year’s Yearbook, please get in touch. The more volunteers the better!
