Birth • It was started in 1980 by Les Carter. Described as ‘Stradbroke’s own monthly news-sheet’ and with the hope of ‘…helping drawing us together.’ It states it is ‘published under the auspices of the Parish Council’. The magazine contact is at ‘4 Eastlands, Tel 529’ • At the same time the Vicar, Theo Dobson in the Hoxne Deanery News, offers that Stradbroke owes Les Carter ‘ …gratitude for his effort and initiative’ • It was agreed between the Vicar, Theo Dobson, the Parochial Church Council and the Parish Council to support Les Carters suggestion and that the parish should start its own local magazine, under the auspices of the Parish Council. • Many people support this venture in different ways, as set out on the front page of the first edition: o Finance will come from advertisers and contributing organisations. o Mrs Martin at the Post Office will be acting as an additional receiving office for contributions (both financial and written).
