Editorial
This issue the magazine highlights the role played by volunteers in our communities. The magazine itself can only run thanks to the input of many individuals, not least among them being our writers, many of whom submit copy for issue after issue –THANK YOU. Looking back to earlier in the summer, the Milton Fete was an excellent example of what a committed band of volunteers can achieve; namely a vibrant, well attended and memorable afternoon in the sun among many friends and neighbours.
But on the other side of the coin, it is sad to notice that there is no fete in Shipton this year while the local history society has been put on notice that unless volunteers can be found for the committee – yes, somebody’s got to do it! – the society will fold in the autumn. There again, St. Mary’s Church is pulling out all the stops for their open day and the Wild Garden benefits enormously from its band of volunteers.
Our villages are full of able-bodied and able-minded people, many of them having taken early retirement, so there should be no shortage of volunteers to fill the gaps; over to you.
