Such sad times.

. . . and it with sadness that I begin this, my final editorship of the Berrynarbor Newsletter.

Over its 33 years and 200 issues, so many people have been involved that for fear of leaving anyone out, I cannot mention and thank you all by name! Hopefully, you will know who YOU are.

Other than the many contributors of articles of such a variety and interest, both past and present, and those who have reported on the activities of their various groups and associations, there have been the printers, collators, proof-readers, distributers, circulators, advertisers and, of course, the artists. And I must not forget those who have generously donated finance - your help has been most necessary! Without you all, the Newsletter could not have continued for so long nor been welcome by its many readers, and I thank you most sincerely, your help has been invaluable and so much appreciated. But finally, to you, the readers, the biggest thank you of all!

A warm welcome is extended to all newcomers to the village and we say a sad farewell to those leaving. And for those not feeling at their best just now, get well soon.

It will seem strange not to be nagging for articles before the deadline in future and although to produce the Newsletter involved many hours of work, it was something I have enjoyed!

Times they are a changing - let's look forward to new and exciting beginnings.
