As many of you know, I have taken over the role as Editor from Malcolm Britton who kindly donated his time to the magazine for an amazing 150 editions. I only hope I can follow in his footsteps to bring you a great magazine as he has the done for last 10 years! As a resident of Hoby for a number of I years, realise how fortunate we are in having so many people willing to contribute their time and effort for the benefit of us . all There are so many events happening, fundraising, local history meetings, coffee mornings, primary school news, police updates... The list goes on! As a subscriber to the magazine, I really do look forward to it landing on my doormat. My diary comes out and the various events go in! When I heard that the magazine might cease that I realised how much of a loss it would be to our community and felt compelled o t do something. Therefore, along with the support of the contributors, advertisers and distributors, I am delighted to say that the magazine will continue during 2017. This is your magazine and maybe you would like to share ‘your’ story with the community. It may be a place you have visited, an event you are organising, your memories of growing up in your village.... Please pass on any good suggestions, stories and photographs that you may have for any future editions of Up the Wreake.
