To make the publication interesting to read we include items such as puzzles, poetry and articles which we hope are amusing. We also welcome occasional contributions dealing with local, national or international affairs. We do not necessarily agree with opinions stated or implied in these articles but we do believe that they make our Newsletter more interesting to many of our readers. We will not however publish anything that is in our opinion illegal, clearly offensive, or represents a personal attack on a named member of our community. We believe that expression of a wide range of viewpoints makes our Newsletter valued in the Glaven Valley and beyond. Jim Crossley – Chairman of the Trustees Coronavirus and Glaven Valley Newsletter We were going to use this slot to say how much the Glaven Valley Newsletter depends on the local community to help print, collate and distribute the magazine and to say that it may be difficult to keep this up. Of course events have overtaken us and you won’t even get this month in hard copy format. But we will reiterate our appeal now even though it is now for the future. If there are any people out there who may be able to spare an odd hour or two to help the production in Glandford towards the end of each month can you please contact Oscar Haynes on 01263 712693 or [email protected] to let him know. Also we may need people to help in the distribution when we do get back to hard copy. Hopefully we won’t need to call on your services, but we want to try to ensure we can keep the production and distribution of GVN going whatever happens. Thank you, The GVN Committee A very big and special thank you to all those volunteers who have tried to get the GVN printed, stapled and distributed this month, even if to no avail!
