From the Editor

You will no doubt be pleased to read that I do not intend to make this a regular feature but as this is my first newsletter I thought I ought to write a few words.

Firstly thank you to Robina Turner who has been Editor for the last three years for handing over such a good infrastructure and a newsletter that people want to read. I trust I shall be able to continue her good work.

I very much hope that you feel this is your newsletter and that you will want to contribute. Hopefully you will also find it useful and who knows even enjoyable!

I was struck as I spoke to various people in the village that there are a lot of very dedicated and talented people in Hurst who work very hard to run the various clubs, societies and special events. The recurrent theme was that it was people from the village doing things for the village and its inhabitants and I hope to carry that theme through into the newsletter. If you are involved with any organisation in Hurst and would like to have your activities included in future newsletters please let me know. Equally if you have an interesting local story I would love to hear from you.

Newsletters are normally published in May, August, November and February.
