Back IssuesDiversions
330 Internet pages have been published on wrawby.org.uk since Wrawby News first showed up on these web servers in 2002.
The Internet department backs up every few days but we encountered some trouble recovering Wrawby data (we can't find the disks!)
It didn't help when were were hijacked June, 2007 and a lot of data was lost.
Hence, there is limited access to about one-third of Wrawby back issues until we sort things out. Let us know if you want an alert when all material from the last five or six years is available online. We might even be able to motivate the print magazine Editors to let us have all back copies from Wrawby News inception: 1994.
The Wrawby News started life in 1994 as the Wrawby Church and Community News. Rev. John Cole and the PCC decided to alter the village "church magazine" and produce a village magazine. There had been a church magazine for St. Mary's C of E Church in Wrawby, which had been available to the parishioners on payment of and annual subscription but there was a very poor uptake in the village.
John felt that he would like to produce a magazine for the whole village to be delivered to every house free of charge. He enlisted the help of Alan Brown of A18 computers in Brigg, to help him produce the first few editions on his home PC. The cost of printing for the magazine was met by advertising along the bottom of each page.
John went on to edit 41 editions of the C&C News. Then in 1997 he decided that he would like to step down as editor and producer of the magazine.
