SEnine It
With this issue we turn 60
By Mark
hard to hard to remember setting out on this journey to produce a community magazine. I know the ideals and
the aims, most of which have been achieved, but the little details are slowly fading. The monthly family outing (Wife, two daughters and me) to deliver the magazines, now we have 12 people performing that task.
We do hope that you have enjoyed reading the magazine and have taken pride, as we have, in its growth from a ignorant infant to a now maturing community asset.
The annual concert was the offi cial community recognition of our achievement of 60 issues, but we still might crack a bottle of bubbly when this issue is 'put to bed'.
We have received a number of cards of congratulations, however we are still waiting on one from The Queen, The Prime Minister, The Leader of the Council and our 'sort of' opposition, The Guide and The Meridian (SEnine is the poor cousin).
Methinks it might be a long wait.
One of the more unusual aspects of community spirit to emerge around the magazine was the revelation of the number of people that hand the magazine on to others to read. I have heard of chains of 3 or 4 households that pass it on .... one from the other. We were recently contact by a reader saying that the deliveries were getting later and later, and he was missing out on functions and events as a result. To investigate I took his name and address. However I immediately realised that we do not, and have never delivered to that street. The only answer we can come up with is a friend or relative who does receive it pushes it through the letter box a few weeks later after they have read it.
Have you got the longest chain? Have you an unusual 'pass on' system?
We are looking for your stories on what you do with the magazine (be nice please) after you have fi nished reading it.
Send us your story by email (or typed snail mail ... ok hand writen if you have readable handwriting) of what happens to SEnine once you have fi nished with it.
