The Atworth Village Magazine is the monthly magazine for the village and parish of Atworth.

The first Atworth Village Magazine was created in 1977 by Esme Lambert and the late Elsie Gravestock, with Jennifer Barton. The sub-title of the magazine "Yer 'Tiz" was introduced after a competition for the name, and was the suggestion of Esme Lambert.

More recently, from about 1995 to 2006, Martin and Lynne Beta were responsible for publishing the magazine. Martin and Lynne decided that as from August 2006 they would no longer edit, produce and publish "Yer 'Tiz".
With effect from September 2006, avoiding a break in publication, Kenneth Spencer took on the responsibility of editing, producing and publishing a magazine for the village of Atworth. He named the new magazine "The Atworth Village Magazine".

Kenneth has been grateful for the help of Penny Laver (invoicing) and Julia Kirwan (distribution) in the past.
In August of 2008, Jim Marsden took on the invoicing rôle, dealing with invoices and incoming payments. 
In August 2009, we were pleased to welcome Don Coote into the rôle of distribution person for the magazine.
In February 2009 we were delighted to welcome Jasmine Cainey as our Young Persons' Correspondent for the magazine.

The finished magazine is professionally printed - the costs for the operation are borne out of income from advertising with an additional donations from Atworth Parish Council. Without the time freely given by all involved, the magazine would not continue. An important team of about 17 volunteers distribute the magazine to every home in Atworth.
