GMK Autumn Edition - Introduction
I mentioned in the GMK Spring Edition that distribution of the Newsletter had been increased to 2000 copies. Following on from that, I am pleased to be able to report that we have received positive feedback from parishioners who have appreciated receiving their first copy of our Parish Newsletter, many of whom were previously unaware of village events and ongoing projects. Communication is an important and powerful facet of our work and the Parish Council will continue to strive to keep everyone updated about what is on the Parish Council’s ‘Agenda’ as much as possible.
Sadly, not all our news is ‘good news’. Over the Summer months, we have had to deal with devastating damage to the boardwalk and increased incidents of crime and disorder but we are working hard to overcome these challenges as quickly and effectively as possible; detailed reports on these two items can be found in this edition of the GMK. What pleased me most was the amount of support we received from parishioners who voiced their shock and sadness about the damage to the boardwalk, either by direct contact with the Clerk or via social media and some of whom offered to help with the clearing up process. It is good to know that our village community spirit was there when needed and we thank you all for your support.
Our next planned Newsletter is due for distribution during February 2017 and we are constantly looking at ways to improve the format and style of our publications. We are hoping to have a slightly different look to next year’s GMK. Watch this space!!
Once again, I hope you all find our articles and topics relevant and useful. Meanwhile, don’t forget to put your clocks back one hour at the end of October!! The dark nights will soon be here, then Christmas and a new year - oh dear - another year that’s gone by far too quickly!
