Stinchcombe Parish News
September 2009
For the last five years the Stinchcombe newsletter has been produced four times a year and delivered FREE to all houses and businesses in the Parish. Richard Bartlam has been the driving force behind the newsletter for all this time but earlier this year decided that 'enough is enough' and he has stepped down as editor and co-ordinator of the Stinchcombe Community Spirit. The July 2009 edition was therefore the last to be produced as nobody has come forward to replace him. Items which now feature under Stinchcombe Parish News are contributions produced specifically for this website rather than being extracts from a regular Stinchcombe newsletter published for and distributed to residents of the parish.

Having seen the entries, several people have already decided to try their luck next year if we have another show. So, the competition is going to be stiffer. The most competitive class, for men only, was probably ‘My favourite cake’.&...
