 Vale Barney Parsons
An active and dedicated member of NHW since it began in Winchelsea in 1992, Barney rarely, if ever, missed a meeting and served as publicity officer for many years. He ensured newsletter delivery rain, hail or shine until very recently, also establishing a distribution network to cover many areas. His significant contribution to this community through NHW, many other organisations and in many diverse ways is, and will be, sorely missed.
Can you (will you) help?
Neighbourhood Watch (Winchelsea) hear that the newsletters are read with interest - but more people able to help with distribution are needed.
