copies of TVT News.. (Nearly a complete set)
Please see this page for downloads
of the original newsletter.
Unfortunately, some of the articles have not been cleared by copyright for
reproduction so there are a few gaps.
Thorncombe Village Trust News was fist published as an A4 sheet in June
1986. From this date until April 1991 the News was inserted into the Parish Magazine
on a bi-monthly basis, and in this way was distributed to most households in the
Parish.
In April 1991 this changed, and a short article was submitted to the Parish Magazine
every month, and every quarter a Trust Magazine was produced.
The first edition of this magazine was distributed in Summer 1991. It was a 12-page
A5 magazine, only given to members of the Trust, and contained information about
the Trust’s finances, local walks, articles on wildlife, the local area and local
history. Although we have these magazines in our archives, we are looking for a volunteer
to scan them and create digital files.
The work involved in producing this magazine four times a year was enormous and ultimately
became too demanding for our band of volunteers.
In 2002 we reverted to the original format of a single A4 sheet produced only in
Spring and Autumn. The Spring edition coincides nicely with collecting membership
subscriptions so is usually delivered by hand or posted to far-flung members.
The original form of the newsletter is no longer produced but you can read many
of the original articles by clicking the link below, and now in 2022, Thorncombe
Environment Group are producing the newsletter again - the first edition can be seen
