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. The name reverted to the the Atworth Village Magazine for a while in 1995. There are some early examples of magazine covers here.
From about 1995 to 2006, Martin and Lynne Beta were
responsible for publishing the magazine.
In 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", reverting to the title often used in 1995 and at other
times.
Kenneth was been grateful for the help of
Penny Laver (invoicing) and Julia Kirwan (distribution) in the past.
From August 2008 until 2011, Jim Marsden took on the
invoicing rôle, dealing with invoices and incoming
payments.
From August 2009, we were pleased to welcome Don Coote into the rôle of
distribution person for the magazine. Don has now left and we may now be seeking a Distribution
Person. Contact the editor at
magazine@atworth.org.uk for details if you are interested.
In February 2009 we were delighted to welcome Jasmine Cainey as our Young
Persons' Correspondent for the magazine. When Jazz left to go to University to study journalism, we were
very pleased that Elena Rossi indicated that she would like to write the Young Persons' Correspondent column -
thus Elena started with us in September 2011 with volume 35.
More recently, Kenneth has been ably assisted by his wife Lynne, who distributes the magazine around the
village, to the team of deliverers, numbering about 17
volunteers who deliver the magazine to every home in Atworth.
The finished
magazine is professionally printed - the costs for the operation are borne out
of income from advertising with past donations from Atworth Parish Council and occasionally donations from the village
organisations which use the magazine for their reports and notices. To date, our most expensive issue was that of
September 2010. It cost £377 and featured not only one of our colour covers, but also an inside centre page
which was also in full colour.
Without the time freely given by all involved, the magazine would not continue. An important team of about
