Hello! My name is Annette Spurrell and I am delighted to be the new Editor of The Chinnock Chimes.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Julie Kneafsey for all her hard work and dedication as the outgoing Editor and for her extremely comprehensive handover.

Unfortunately the amount of village news in this issue is limited due to the effect of the lockdown restrictions.

Please send your contributions, such as articles or photographs, to the new email address thechinnockchimes@gmail.com and I will do my best to include them in the next issue.

The deadline for submissions for the next issue is 11 March.

Let us all look forward to the time when The Chinnock Chimes will contain more news of social events in which we can all participate. In the meantime, please stay safe and take care.

Annette
