After 16 years of editing Burton News we have decided it is time to hang up our hats and pass the task onto a new pair of hands. During our editorship we have seen Burton News grow from an average of 20 pages per issue to 32 pages per issue, with an increase in the range of content. But times change and we are getting older and there are still a zillion things we want to do before we are too decrepit to do them, so we have advised the Editorial Committee that this will be our last year in post. Our heartfelt thanks go to readers for all of the kind and supportive feedback we have received over the years, and to the distribution team, to Gill and Akis at the Village Store, and to our printer, Roger at Baytype, for constant help and support. We would also like to thank all the members of the Editorial Committee, both former and current, for their advice, guidance and friendship over the years and wish them and Burton News well for the future.
Anne and Barry (1st December 2018)
