The Editor's Letter
This is my penultimate letter to you all as Editor of Kirton News. I took on the role in April 2018 and I will be stepping down before the end of this year. I think 8 years is a pretty respectable tenure and it’s now time to hand over the reins to someone new.
Having never done anything like it before, the role became a way to connect with the people, stories and events that make Kirton such a wonderful place. Over the 8 years, I hope I have managed to highlight local events and businesses, shared successes and bring a little piece of village life into your homes each month. I have met some real characters and will always be grateful for the kindness, encouragement and support I have received.
Being Editor, I have seen just how much goes on behind the scenes in our community. From volunteers and community groups to local businesses, these people quietly give their time to help others and make our village a better place. I have said it numerous times but our distribution team are the reason we can reach so many of you. I want to thank them all for their unwaivering dedication, whatever the weather!
I’m sure that the new Editor will bring fresh ideas, new perspectives and still keep the community at the very heart of Kirton News.
If you would like to feature as a Meet the Local, please get in touch as we always welcome new contributions. If you have anything you’d like to say, someone you’d like to thank, a poem, a recipe or a puzzle you’d like to share, get in touch! We’re always contactable at Editor@kirtonnews.co.uk.
Take care of yourselves and each other.
