Latest Issue - September 2025
EDITORIAL
I reported the sad death of Tony Tindale earlier in the year, and his obituary appears on page 4 of this edition. Our condolences go to friends and family. With this magazine you should find a letter from Mortimer Medical Practice (MMP), referring to new arrangements for contacting the surgery and making appointments. Whilst the precise details relate to this practice, the general principles are rolling out nationwide. You will need to consult your own surgery, if you are not registered with MMP. Whilst the new arrangements make use, in part, of the internet, there are provisions for those without internet access.
It has been quite a year for activities in the community, including all sorts associated with the Village Hall. It is worth noting that the hall is a community resource, available for hire to any individual or group that wishes to use the space. Details are in the EVHMC report on page 15. An example of such an activity is the New Year’s Eve celebrations (see page 13). Please note that tickets for this are discounted for early purchase.
Finally, you may have heard that I have decided to stand down as Editor of this magazine, with my last edition in March 2026. I have published my letter of resignation on page 6. Alongside, Patricia has decided also to leave as Advertising Manager at the same time. Patricia has served for fifteen years, and I have been Editor for 25 years. Both Patricia and I reached our conclusions independently. The Parish Council is keen to fill both of these vacant posts and details are given on page 9. Since its inception in 1990 the Eardisland Parish Magazine (with a slight name change) has gone from strength to strength. I do hope that suitable volunteers will come forward and continue this community resource into the future.
