A new approach to distributing news of parish events and items of interest to residents of Winsham
In future, a replacement for the Winsham E-letter, will appear as a part of Winsham Parish Web Site, named Winsham Community News.
A considerable benefit from this is that the
tabulated area will carry the latest news of an event at a
permanent location, to which you can link to
your smart phone ,Tablet, Laptop or PC. The date of the latest
up-date will be found at the top of the tabulated section
The first edition of the new Winsham
Community News will be found below by just scrolling down on this web page.
If some parish news does not lend itself to
presentation in tabulated form, or as a direct announcement,
it will usually be covered in a short comment
at the foot of the tabulated area
Enjoy,
John Sullivan
Some birds migrate-the brave ones stay;
the woodland creatures ghost the trees,
The ground's aglitter, hard and crisp;
the nights are long, the dawn's a'freeze!

Hi all,
Sorry to be the bearer of the news of the demise of the Winsham E-Letter, but since the end of the direct mailing to its three hundred or so subscribers, the web site analysis figures indicate that it was not doing its job, so after seven hundred and seventy three editions, over nearly twenty years, it was time for a change. I hope the readers of the new Winsham Community News informative and easy to use.
