I have been subscribing to The Gazette for many years even at times submitting articles and letters. Though I have been rather behind with my submission.

This was brought to my attention recently when several local residents commented that they had not seen my name in print recently. Two even committed that they looked forward to my comments.

So here goes. The letters appearing recently all except a few have always had a political slant. We have enough of this sort of news and require more of local interest.

So come on Thornbury and district get writing and promote the district. I have further ideas for the future.
