This issue is a double one: the end of the old year and the beginning of the new inside one cover. Some of you will recognise that this means renewal of your subscription. If you are a subscriber and do not have a standing order, you will find a form accompanying this copy of The Dove. Please complete and return it, with your cheque or cash, to Mike Kelham or Flora Rawlingson Plant at the address shown on the form or to Church Office, Rectory Annexe, Plox, Bruton ba10 0ef, by 20 January. If you would like to become a new subscriber, do contact Flora (see back page). We hope you feel it’s worth taking out a subscription: comments about the magazine are generally extremely positive, and we try hard to produce a comprehensive overview of everything that goes on in the Benefice, with Diary information playing a vital part. It’s only as good as the information we receive, so please keep us posted. We welcome constructive criticism, so if there’s anything you think could be improved, please let us know. See the email address below, or the postal address given above.
The original email address for the magazine has not worked very well, we have found – so it is now cancelled. Please don’t send anything more to editorial@thedovemagazine.co.uk. Instead, the editorial email address of elisabeth.ingles@hchbruton.co.uk will get through to me in due course, depending on how busy I am! (I exist under two names: working name Ingles, married name Balfour.)
Everybody in the Benefice will be preparing for Christmas now. We hope that a thought will be spared for neighbours in need (see also Council News, page 26). The act of giving – whether of time, a meal, or practical help – is enormously rewarding, and we constantly see evidence that the people of Bruton and its surrounding villages are vastly generous of spirit. A very happy Christmas to all – and may you go into the New Year with renewed vigour and resolve. Elisabeth Balfour
