The Bowdon Church News has been delivered to every accessible home in the Parish for the last 54 years. This is an operation that involves over one hundred people every month. Katharine Perera, the editor of the BCN for the last eight years, developed it into the format that it has today. Katharine was an amazing lady, and a number of us have been working together to try to ensure that the magazine continues to serve the whole community, making the prospect of following her act a little less daunting.
We would like to announce formally the new editorial team. This team includes myself as editor, with the assistance of Lesley Smith. Kay Holt, our Parish Administrator, assembles the calendar, church events and noticeboard sections of the magazine. Roger Bryan is responsible for proofreading. The existing teams continue to do the invaluable distribution, and create the website, social media and email versions. Please feel free to contact any of us at any time.
St Paul describes team work using the image of the body of Christ. The body is made up of many parts, each equally useful and appreciated, although each has a uniquely different function. It is our hope that others will want to contribute to maintaining the aims and standards of the BCN. We are therefore really pleased to introduce the BCN Readers’ Forum. We would like to invite anyone who is interested to come to a meeting to discuss the BCN and its role within the community. We would love to hear from as wide a range of people as possible. If you are interested in being part of this group then please do get in touch with me, using the contact details below.
