Winkworth, Coast & Country Cottages, Stags, Darthaven, Noss on Dart Marina, Triton Gallery etc, to name just a few, have long been loyal supporters of the magazine, often advertising in every issue. It must surely be working for them... our thanks to them and to our readers for using them. It is self-evident – if you don’t say you saw a company advertise in By The Dart if/when you respond to their advert, then they won’t advertise and By The Dart won’t exist! Is this enough though to sustain


a printed magazine for another 100 issues – who knows, although I believe that quality magazines that speak directly to the needs and interests of their readers and advertisers will still survive long term. Also 100 issues is the equivalent of nearly 17 years of publishing – I will be long into my ninth decade by then so it won’t be me publishing the 200th edition! Anyone out there keen to take it on? If so, give me a call. An important part of the appeal of the magazine are the many and varied contributors who regularly write for us – Colette Charsley, David & Holly Jones, Andy Kyle, the staff at Wollens, the Harbour Office, Dart RNLI, Mike Trevorrow, Winkworth and latterly The Coastal House, our motoring editor – Nick Fletcher and now Mark Slack, Rowena Kitchen and so on. Some have contributed articles for more than 10 years. We have also been fortunate to use the freelance services of experienced local


journalists for many of our interviews, things to do etc – formerly Phil Scoble, Heather Long, until recently Steph Woolvin and now Ginny Farrell and Kate Cotton. As for the rest of us, we are a


very small team, all now working part- time (my wife scoffs at this description of my contribution!). We have been so fortunate since the early days to have such a hard-working, skilful and loyal team, almost all of whom have been with us most of the way - Emma Jones (editorial, website and invoicing), Kim Fricker (advertising sales), Ruth Simpson (copy editing and boss’ muse!), Amanda Bloomer (advertising sales for The Post) and Lisa Wyman (our designer who’s been with us the longest - since mid 2009 - and whose design magic is responsible for the quality look and feel of the magazine). The magazine has developed and improved markedly over the years, and will continue to improve and change as time goes on. Comparisons with our very early issues (see #1 opposite) show a more mature and confident magazine, capable of standing toe to toe with bigger and better financed consumer magazines. The strap-line on


the front cover of the magazine is ‘celebrating local life’, in essence, why By The Dart exists and our mission statement. And there will be a lot more to celebrate for a long time to come…

Arts&Crafts ‘A career as an artist?’ What was that?


Devon artist Stewart Edmondson talks to By The Dart


Why painting?


As a child I had 2 ambitions: to be a painter and to play for Leeds United. The Leeds’ scouts did come to see me play but not for long! But ‘a ca- reer as an artist?’ what was that? My father was in the printing trade so


there were always large sheets of paper and draw- ing materials around the house. This was great as I didn’t have to think about keeping my drawings small! The other thing was my interest in biology: so with both of them, I ended up with a career as a Landscape Architect, a ‘proper job’.


I did this pre Fine Art Course in Leeds


that totally put me off art college. I was into my ‘A’ levels and mum and dad could see art re- ally meant something to me and came across this fantastic Scottish painter living locally. They ar- ranged for private lessons, and this was the turning point for me as I wasn’t going anywhere at school with art. I had an ordinary life and at that time the wasn’t that consciousness that you could ever ma it as a full-time artist.


It can be wild - the wind and rain tends to move the paint around when you throw it onto the paper

In March, many new stores will have their summer stock arriving e.g. new ranges arrive at Crew Clothing (2, Fairfax Place), Fat Face (12, The Quay), Danielli’s (32 Lower Street), House of Hawkins – their sale is open until the end of February (10 Foss Street), Musto - their sale is also open until the end of Febru- ary (7 Foss Street). Imago Trading (11, Victoria Road) is


under new ownership – watch this space for any future changes to the store. The Canvas Factory (5 Foss Street)


would like to remind residents that whilst it sells branded bags etc, it makes its own wide range of canvas bags and accessories either for the house, the boat or for personal use – some of which can be custom made to your specification. Smythz (2 Smith Street) will be clos-


ing down imminently as soon as a new buy- er for the premises can be found but, in the meantime, there remains a 70%-off sale on all menswear and ladieswear until further no- tice.


The big news in February was the


smell and taste of traditional French baking being brought to 3 Victoria Road with the opening of Saveurs. A proper boulangerie, patisserie and chocolaterie, Saveurs offers a unique culinary delight to Dartmouth. Julien Picamil and Guylaine Leclerc, who last Sep- tember left the New Angel, to prepare for this venture are getting up in the early hours of each morning to prepare their delicacies fresh for the day. Watch out for next month’s, By The Dart, for a more in-depth feature on their new venture. In the meantime, beat a path to Victoria Road for some Easter and Mother’s Day treats.
