LINK Nov'80 n° 14

rthday appeal

The next issue of the Toothill Link (including Freshbrook Focus) in December will mark
the end of its second year - a long time for a community newspaper run by volunteers to
stay in existance. Sadly it is becoming increasingly difficult to get the paper to all
the 2,500 households in the area. Readers will notice that we print a lot of advertising
(too much perhaps), but even this income is only just covering printing costs. Yet we
think its important that the paper should be delivered free so that nobody misses out on
information. These were the main points made at our recent Annual General Meeting.
So...As its our Birthday and its near enough to Christmas, we are making a BIG appeal to
our readers - YOU - to support the future of this paper by making a Donation. Please
could you help by sending or taking some money to the following people who live close
to you: Geoff Richmond, 23 Luddesdown; Ruth Ogle, 42 Bellver; Bob Bannister 5 Kirkstall;
John Wilson, 54 Pendennis; Mrs. Mead 4 Beverley; Mr. Rowden 39 Markenfield; Gloria
Hiscock 16 Crawford Close; Paul Sheffield, 28 Shellfinch; Maureen Starkie 6 Chudleigh.
