Editorial
LOOK WHAT A FINE MESS you got us into Stanley! Yes, the mess in question is the delayed August/September Crier and of course the completely missing July Crier - are we going quarterly now, readers may well ask.
Certainly not, but it's one thing to get into a fine mess, and another to get out of it. It is now just 8 1/2 years since our very first Crier editorial and until now the Crier has sailed serenely on, quite regardless of stuff happening. Yes, anyone who might be thinking they would have done better should send in their application and supporting CV. But we're back now, with particular thanks to lo ng- suffering Ruth Stinton, Alastair Everitt and supportive readers and contributors generally, with MANY APOLOGIES to all those adversely affected.
Meanwhile, not a great deal has been happening: fortuitously only 44 pages of
happenings at any rate. The Crier Eds (along with other Village Magazine
Editors) went on a trip to see the Cambridge Evening News - who forgot we were
coming. Not to worry, we still had an excellent time and took the opportunity
to smartly point out that whereas their "new improved" production
technology could only mean sackings at CEN - yes, that's progress for you -
for the Crier, it meant expanding our editorial staff. And long may it last, as
the Eds could not help but notice that there were really quite a lot of people
doing their job at CEN. Back for October (promise!)
