Sheepwash Chronicle Christmas 2016 edition

Editorial – Your Chronicle Still Needs You!
Thank you to everyone who gave us feedback on our last issue, and an even bigger thank you to all who
have sent us contributions for this one!
Remember, we need your input to make the Chronicle what you want it to be. You can do this in lots of
ways:
Give us your news – what has happened since the last issue, and what will be happening in the
next few months. We want to hear about special birthdays, anniversaries, new arrivals and
departures, forthcoming events - anything and everything that is of interest to you and/or your
neighbours.
Send us a contribution. We don’t want your money! We do want interesting articles, photographs,
drawings, cartoons, jokes, puzzles, poems, and stories – anything that will help to make the
Chronicle a “good read”. We accept contributions on paper, electronically, or even verbally!
Write a regular column. We would love to hear from anyone who would like to write a regular
column on a hobby such as gardening or cooking, or country diary notes, or observations on village
life, or anything else which will give our readers practical advice, or just bring a smile to their faces.
Give us your feedback. For years the Chronicle has been something we’ve all looked forward to
receiving and reading, and we want to keep it that way, and make it even better. We can only do
that if you tell us what you think of it, and give us your ideas.
We will both be delighted to hear from you. Our contact details are just below, so please get in touch.
