Dear readers,

As you will no doubt be aware, the Blissford Voice is taking a break from its regular publication over the festive period. You may not be aware of the new Online version. The production team involved in the current Blissford Voice Online web site (currently to be found at www.shepline.co.uk) and the soon to be launched dedicated BV Today site, have negotiated with our illustrious editor to insure your enjoyment is continued throughout Christmas and the New Year. It is our intention to publish two Illustrated Special Editions of the BV to celebrate its success and its longevity. These will be disseminated in the normal way on Saturday 25 December and Saturday 1 January. To make these issues possible we need your help. Please write tell us your favourite moments from the archives, and more importantly please send us photographs of events — remember this is to be an illustrated special.

Copy (and photographs) may be left at our collection centre at PostboxCottage, co The Eminent Sea Watcher. Alternitively please submit them to by return of this message.

Copy should be delivered no later that 30 November.

Wishing you well for the festive season.
