Bristolienses - Issue 62

How quickly time passes, I seem only

recently to have proof-read the last issue! Getting copy always requires effort both in sourcing it and creating it but it is worthwhile. Generally, comments on the contents are very favourable and Tony’s layout design is much valued and appreciated.

Geoff Wright

This edition has a good mixture of regular and new articles but please do send me more! Reminiscences from School, School trips and descriptions of old haunts are all of great value, jog memories and produce more articles. I also want more ‘ A Day in the Life of’ copy. What you do or did may seem ordinary to you, but not to others. It makes very interesting reading for them. Two articles , just received, both contain a word of warning, ‘don’t sit next to Geoff Wright at dinner!’ I had the pleasure of sitting with Nick Burroughs and Peter Jones at the recent Annual Dinner but may have blighted the end of their

evening by pressing them firmly to write me an article for this edition. Well, it worked! Two articles appeared two days later. Nick’s piece on the life of a Town Planner and Peter’s piece on a week in the life of a small town Mayor give me great pleasure to include in this issue. I will end by giving my thanks to all who have contributed to the content and creation of this edition.
