Why not become a sponsor of this magazine?
It now costs us £136 to print each edition of Reynoldston News and there are other costs, such as computer inks, photocopying and paper. In addition, all those associated with the magazine do so on a voluntary basis. Becoming a sponsor is also a way of showing your appreciation of a good read and of being kept up to date with all the village events. We know that village organisations also value the publicity they gain through the magazine and their sponsorship is most welcome. May we suggest £10 – £20 but any donation higher or lower would be very welcome. Please send your donation to Valerie Beynon at Myrtle Cottage, Reynoldston, Swanasea SA3 1AD.

Before Reynoldston News ………
The predecessor to the “Reynoldston News” was the “Parish News”. Originally a monthly broadsheet which was included in the Gower Church Magazine, it then became a full magazine. It was typed and printed in the village. Each edition ran to about 12 pages each month. In 1984, the magazine had the following “staff”:
Typing: Dorothy and Harold Williams, Sarah Francis and Ann Williams
Gestetner and Stapling ; (remember those machines?):Mel Williams, Ann Williams, Harold Williams. (The machine was housed in the attic room of the Village Hall. In those days, dark and musty!)
Distribution: Julie Orrin: Thelma Bartley: Dodie Jones: Beryl Ransome: Monnie Buckland: Janet Campbell: Jenny Arthure: Cynthia Jenkins: Olive Eason: Raymond Fisher: Enid Jones: Dick Beynon: Gina Abbott: Dorothy Emm; Dorothy Williams: Angela Bending and Rita Francis:
It is also worth mentioning that the “Parish News” often omitted a January and an August edition – unlike your current “Reynoldston News” which arrives in your letterbox every month of the year!
