ST BARTHOLOMEW'S PCC and church members were due to meet this week to discuss the future progress of the parish magazine

The last main discussion concerning St Bartholomew's Church Parish magazine was held five years ago.

The church produces about 250 magazines per month with 190 selling in Chipping and 60 being sold in Whitewell.

Three bumper issues are produced during the year at Easter, Harvest and Christmas.

The magazine publishes a story by local author Pat Jones each month.

For 40 years Cliff and Lillian Shuttleworth helped with the printing, collating, production and distribution.

Sadly Lillian passed away recently and much of the magazine work is now carried out at the vicarage.
