My dear readers and supporters, I am sorry to say this magazine will be the last edition of the Meltham Parish Magazine. It has been going for over 100 years in various forms but after my current role of nearly 6 years being editor my time has come to close down my laptop! Thank you for all your support.

However, we still have an amazing edition to read, even if it is a tad late (as usual). So please turn to page 8 as Joyce shares her latest read, learn about how kind you generous people of Meltham have been at both the Crisis coffee morning (pg9) and the shoeboxes (pg 15).

We have lots of Christmas events coming up so please turn to the centre pages and get them up on your calendar. As well as hear about those who have done great things like Wilshaw (pg 24) and the wonderful ladies of Helme (pg 23).

Thank you once again to those who have supported me and the magazine by sending submissions in, you have really helped me out and made this magazine what it is.

God Bless,
Fiona.
