Thank You Fred
Fred Russell became our Editor with Newsletter 70 in 1998.
With characteristic modesty in his first editorial he hoped that 'this
issue is up to its usual standard'. It featured his first innovation –
a full-colour cover.
Across his long serving years through 28 editions, he has transformed
our Newsletter to be the exceptional, stand-out, informative,
illustrated, full colour magazine it has become.
His editorials and articles are fluent and incisive. Always he has been
the forerunner in the pursuit of the Society's prime objective 'to
protect the surrounding countryside from bad development or neglect'.
At the same time he has ensured the balance of the Newsletter content
in reporting village activities, providing a permanent record of Taplow
history and its heritage buildings, and bringing attention to the
contribution of local residents to society at large.
Approaching the publication of edition 100, our Newsletter has become
integral to the objectives and activities of our Society and indeed to
the life of Hitcham and Taplow. Fred's achievements and the benefits
they bring have been enormous.
Thank you Fred – Editor par excellence.
