Newsletter
Since May 1984, Middleton has produced a monthly newsletter (up to 2013 with the exception of September and January in the case of the previous editor, Carol Barrier.) The current editor of the newsletter is Barbara Barker who now compiles it every month. There are several deliverers, all of whom give their services freely, along with delivering copies of The Fisherman - the local churches magazine. However since the start of the pandemic in 2020 a significant proportion of residents received their newsletter digitally, many of whom have continued to do so.
All contributions in the newsletter are from those who live in or who are interested in the village. There are monthly resumes from the Parish Council from their Parish Council Meetings, a monthly WI update, news from the Community Council, plus articles and adverts etc.
Copy date is normally the last Tuesday in the month, all contributions to Barbara Barker, 6 Meadowview, Rectory Road barbara.barker.t21@btinternet.com
Although the cost of the newsletter varies per month (depending on the number of pages) for external printing at Leiston Press, there is no direct charge to residents for this publication, the costs being borne entirely by voluntary contributions, donations from village organisations, a small amount of advertising, the occasional raffle etc.
