Forncett Flyer February 2014

Happy new year to you all (a bit late, I know) At this time of year it is difficult to think that spring will ever be here, and the February edition of the Forncett Flyer never helps: Christmas has been and gone, but because there is no January edition, all the lovely reports and photos have to appear in this one. You will find these on page 2, 11 and 12 together with some cold, wintry-looking photos by Izabela Wojcik, a new resident of Forncett.

Now, does anyone mind if I blow my own trumpet? Well, I am going to anyway. I have never been much of a success in life, so when Brian Frith suggested submitting the Forncett Flyer to the 2013 National Parish Magazine Awards I didn't expect too much. So when the results came through, and I saw that there were 710 entries from around the country with the standard this year being the highest ever, I was astonished to find that the Forncett Flyer was in the top 5%; it came 34th! (Here’s where I thank everyone and burst into tears).
