Editorial
Welcome to your new-look Wychwood Magazine! Why new-look? Because for the first time ever you are reading our magazine printed in colour. While the adverts remain in black-and-white, all our other pages are in colour. The result is a more attractive magazine filled, as usual, with a vast range of stimulating articles and events to anticipate in the near future.
Colour printing costs are now much more competitive compared to black-and-white, hence the change. Everything should look brighter and more eye-catching – I’m writing this before seeing the finished product so I hope I do not have to eat my words.
In this issue you can find out what life is like behind the scenes in the Wychwood Surgery, you can uncover the life of an international composer and you can decide for yourself what makes the perfect holiday. Of course, there is also some news of past events, and we always ask each village to submit news, but we choose news that has appeal to the very wide range of our readership. This is not easy but we hope that the end product brings satisfaction to as many of our readers as possible.
Enjoy your new-look magazine!
Bob Forster, Editor
