The Magazine
Every
year there are 11 editions of what is now known as the Wrawby News. This is an
eight page magazine which is produced monthly. In December we issue a bumper
edition of 12 pages and there is no January edition.
Contributions for the magazine are received
from various organizations in the village and then there is an editorial
meeting at the start of the month when information is correlated. The regular
contributors are :- The Lunchtime Discussion Group, The Monday Club, The Youth
Group and on page seve a regular comment fir which there is a list of six
contributors, and this article is usually thought provoking.
History
The
Wrawby News started life in 1994 as the Wrawby Church and Community News. Rev.
John Cole and the PCC decided to alter the village "church magazine"
and produce a village magazine. There had been a church magazine for St. Mary's
C of E Church in Wrawby, which had been available to the parishioners on
payment of and annual subscription but there was a very poor uptake in the
village.
John felt that he would like to produce a
magazine for the whole village to be delivered to every house free of charge.
He enlisted the help of Alan Brown of A18 computers in Brigg, to help him
produce the first few editions on his home PC. The cost of printing for the
magazine was met by advertising along the bottom of each page.
John went on to edit 41 editions of the C&C
News. Then in 1997 he decided that he would like to step down as editor and
producer of the magazine. Richard Rooker and Andrew Whitaker expressed an
interest in co editing the magazine and so from that time the magazine has been
co produced. Richard and Andrew now take turns to edit the magazines on a
monthly basis.
