Welcome
This website provides an archive of all 200 Editions of the Berrynarbor Newsletter, as circulated from August 1989 to October 2022. It provides a rich tapestry of over 30 years of social history and local knowledge. We hope you enjoy exploring the content.
December 1993 - Edition No.27
It doesn't seem possible that this is the Fifth Christmas edition of the Newsletter! Guided by Sally Barten, the covers, back and front, for this issue have been designed, drawn and coloured entirely by the following children from Berrynarbor SUNDAY SCHOOL:
Charlotte Fryer
Joshua Knight
Lucia and Sebastian Seston-Ferdinand
Katie Gubb
Benjamin Sanders
Sophia Stavrinou
Thank you all. I hope you will be as delighted, as I am sure the readers will be, with the results of your hard work and enjoyment. I am also very grateful to Jim Williams of Rotapress for the printing.
The poems from Bettina Brown and Cynthia Parkin - both from Combe Martin - and Paul Swailes's illustrations, like all the contributions, are very much appreciated.
No sooner will the Festive Season be over than it will be time to start thinking about the next issue - February. As usual, items should be at the Post Office or Chicane by the middle of January.
