The Swaffham Crier Online

Editorial

"WHAT DO YOU THINK people write to the Crier about?" asked the editor innocently at a recent talk to Scouts. "To say how good the Crier is?" came the angelic response. But Scouts were shocked and appalled as the true state of affairs was revealed, and the school's data-projector focused onto this month's Letters in preparation where phrases such as "utter drivel" and "waste of space" loomed exceeding large.

Readers! Who'd have 'em. But they want us, (allegedly) and the Crier was much missed at a recent Tiger's inaugural meeting., as indeed were most of the rest of us horrible lot - sorry Tigers! The editors count of team - playing young footballers in Prior is currently only TWO, not impressive, but Tigers are set to change all that, along with a lot more besides - all power to their elbow.

But the magazine is staff-light at the moment, with no photographer, and a PC Desk not only single - manned but doubling as roving reporter.

VOLUNTEERS PLEASE, and if you don't want to do things on a regular basis, do consider taking along the trusty digital camera and sending us the odd snap .

Alas, this month sees the departure of Dave and Lorraine from the Red Lion. The editors had the task of conveying the bad news to a number of residents, all of whom responded identically: "I'm sorry. You just ruined my day". Congratulations to both for making our local into the enviable hostelry we all love, we will all be down to visit at the Five Miles in Upware, and meanwhile, Lorraine tells us we should not despair. Who is taking over? Aha.. ..

See you Quizzing!
