This month, all residents in North Weald, Thornwood and Hastingwood should have received their copy of the July issue of North Weald Village Life with it’s first colour cover!
I cannot believe that this celebrates the 4th anniversary since I launched the magazine and the website. Four years have passed at a very fast pace since my nerve racking decision to launch a community magazine and website.
Why did I do it? Quite simple, the main idea was to improve communication throughout the village. I wanted to know what was happening in the village, what events were planned and all about the people in the village.
When I launched the magazine, there was trouble in the village and there were various residents groups representing different roads up and down the village, but there was little communication between them.
The Parish Council informed us of their movements in the quarterly issue of the Cameo and there were brief mentions once in a while in the local paper but other than that - North Weald residents did not communicate with one another.
I can happily say that I am so delighted with everybody’s support since that day and do not regret the decision at all and North Weald Village Life is now part of my daily life.
So thank you all advertisers who have ever advertised in the magazine, without your support the village would not have their magazine and thank you to all the readers who read the magazine, and shares the magazine with other members of the family, their friends and family.
Here’s to the next four years!!
