By the community, for the community

Welcome to the early summer edition of ECN.  


If you have already had enough of people arguing one way or another which way you should vote on 23rd June, then you may rest assured that this is a ‘Brexit free’  edition.  We shall be focusing on local issues inside, which we hope you will find of interest.


Of the many activities and events in this issue, may I draw your attention to the longest running event in our community, which generously supports so many of our village organisations. The annual Eastington Horse Show is to be held on Saturday 6th August, and is open to everyone to attend, whether participating or spectating.  So, why not bring the family along as well for an interesting day out?  Help is also needed on the day to support the organisers, so please see their advert and consider giving them a call.


I would like to thank Chris Osman for her remarkable work as ECN Articles Editor, which she began in May 2014.  As you will have noticed, she has transformed the appearance of the printed pages and formats to bring ECN into the 21st Century.  Chris is planning to move on and will be stepping down as Articles Editor after this issue.  


The job of ECN Articles Editor has been streamlined recently to make it easier to edit articles as they come in.  Arranging articles and pictures to create the pages of ECN is now the role of the Production Editor, and we are delighted to welcome Mary Gribble to the ECN team in this new role.


We are now urgently seeking someone for the role of Articles Editor, and eagerly invite you to consider taking on this important role for this community publication.  Do you feel you may have what it takes to do this? Why not give Chris or Andrew a call now to learn more about the role. [See advert below]
