The Beacon Shines On! Celebrating 40 Years of the Beacon Newsletter in Ottringham, Halsham and Sunk Island.
At the April meeting of Ottringham Parish Council, Chairman Cllr Julia Billaney paid tribute to the many people who were involved in the continuing success of this Parish Newspaper.
Cllr Billaney described the occasion as a special highlight of her time on the Council, paying tribute to all the people who had contributed in any way to the success of the magazine from 1985 to present.
Current Editor, Heather Croft, who has produced the magazine for over 30 of the 40 years that the Beacon has been in circulation, thanked contributors and sponsors for their support in keeping this wonderful publication in print for so many years.
Over the 40 years since its launch in April 1985 the Beacon has carried essential community information, news, views, memories, celebrations and tributes. The paper edition now supplemented by an on-line publication remains a valued means of linking the communities of three villages.
The founding team, including Nancy Middleton, Nerys Brown, Linda Kelly and Alan Billaney were involved in launching the newspaper, supported by the many folks who over the years have contributed articles, editing content, printing, distribution, deliveries and all the things that make a newsletter and keep it going!
The naming of the magazine was via competition in which the aviation beacon on Dam Lane was chosen to symbolise communication over a wide area. Competition winner Richard Acklam, who was only 10 years old when the magazine was first published, was delighted to share in the celebration of its continuing success.
Tokens of appreciation were presented to Kathleen Acklam, Ottringham Post Office, who has supported the magazine since its inception, Ernie and Jean Oldfield who have managed the distribution, and Heather Croft, Continuing Editor, who gives so generously of her time and energy to turn our articles and notices into an interesting and engaging publication.
We hope you enjoyed the Special Edition of the Beacon in April, with sincere thanks to Heather Croft with input from founding Editor Nerys Parry (Brown)
The Beacon is currently produced by Phoenix Design and Print Ltd and sponsored by Ottingham Parish Council.
