PARISH MAGAZINE

This is a page that has links to many years of St. James' Parish Magazine. It was was back in 1997 that I suggested to the then Rector of Christleton, Reverend Peter Lee that the Parfish Magazine perhaps could benefit from some desktop publishing. In previous years there had been monthly meetings at the Old Rectory, the home of the magazine editor, David Bull, for a cut and paste night. I was given the go ahead and managed to secure a job that lasted for 12 years. David Bull was the editor for that whole time and the magazine was put together on an Apple Mac ready for the printer.

I had to give up the job eventually as it was such a big tie. The position was advertised for many months but no one came forward. I was carrying on in the interim and then had the brilliant idea that Julie Coxall who owned the A41 Magazine might take the job on. It was not the tea and cake that bribed her to take the job on as I remember her saying she would like to do it as a thank you and to give village of Christleton.

Just as the Parish Magazine job was finishing for me I decided to start the Christleton Website back in 2000. This was not such a tie as the Magazine as the work could be done at anytime whereas for the Magazine I had to working on it for the same week each month. No months were missed. Twelve issues each year.
