We hope you’ve all had the chance to slow down and enjoy the last few months. The team has taken a little time to catch our breath too, but we’re back in action and ready to bring you more of the local community events and happenings.

 

Our team has seen a few changes recently, and we’d like to say a huge thank you to Steve Tommy. He has been a valued part of the Chimes team, and we’re very grateful for the time, energy and care he has given to the magazine. His centre pages in particular have really raised the bar! Personal and family commitments now mean he needs to step away from the editor’s role, and we wish him all the very best. We’d also like to thank Sheila Bouskill, who has done a fantastic job as our treasurer, keeping everything in check behind the scenes and making sure the numbers behave themselves!

 

As our team changes, we’re always keen to hear from anyone who would like to get involved. We’re looking for people interested in sharing the editor’s role, as well as a sub-editor for Gorsley. If you’ve ever thought “I’d love to get involved, but I’m not sure what I could do”, please get in touch.

 

We’d also love to see more of your view of the area. Whether it’s a

photograph, artwork, familiar local scene or something that simply made you smile, please send it our way. We’re always looking for fresh images to feature, including on our covers. The Chimes belongs to the community, so please keep your stories, photographs and ideas coming.
