Meet The Record Team:
Editor - Shirley Cherry
The Editor is responsible for managing the content of each issue - through a combination of written editorials, submissions received and commissioned articles - before laying out the issue and sending it off to print.
Editorial Assistant - Helen Keayes
The Editorial Assistant acts as a sounding board for the editor and helps to oversee the content. She writes copy and makes suggestions for additional topics to be covered.
Treasurer & Subscriptions - Carol Clark
This is a key role for the village newsletter. She ensures that we cover our costs and also manages the list of our subscribers and keeps it up to date. In addition, she sends out pdf copies of the newsletter by email to those who request it in this format.
Advertising - Ben Viollet
Another vital role, as advertising revenue helps to cover production costs and so keeps the annual subscriptions low. Advertising bookings usually work on an annual basis, although there is opportunity to change and refresh ad copy.
Distribution Coordinator - Jude Canning
The bulk of the Record is delivered by hand to our subscribers in Tysoe and surrounding district. Our coordinator divides the print run into separate bags for each of our distributors to post through letterboxes. The system works like a well-oiled machine. Further copies are posted to former residents who have now moved away.
Website and Social Media - Emma Tompkins
This is a relatively new role for the Record. We are still finding what works and how best to support the print version. To date the focus has been on promoting village events i.e. What’s On notices. With the launch of the new website to support the print version, this role will doubtless evolve in the coming months and years!
Our Distributors
These are our unsung heroes. Many of our distributors have been delivering copies of the Record for 10-20 years through all weathers, come rain, snow or shine! We are hugely grateful for their commitment and dedication.
Our thanks go to: Christine Duke, David Sewell, Denise Breakell, Faith Hall, Graham Hicks, Irene Beever, Jackie Thompson, Jenny Tongue, Jude Canning, Linda Wadeson, Liz Atkinson, Liz Finlyson, Mark Sinclair, Mike Sanderson, Muriel Paxton.
