Welcome to issue 24 of Littleport Life
As the 6th year of the production of Littleport Life draws to a close, we say a fond farewell to Littleport Life’s resident artist Mike Edwards. Mike designed our distinctive front cover and has provided much invaluable advice to the editorial team. His illustrations have perfectly captured the essence of many articles and injected a lively sense of humour which we will keenly miss. We wish Mike and his family good luck and happiness in their new life in Devon.
Of course the magazine would become redundant if it could not be delivered to resident’s homes and we are currently in need of some additional volunteers to join our loyal army of deliverers. If you would like to become involved, and have a few hours to spare, please click here for details.
2012 has brought the closure of one of Littleport’s oldest and much admired village shop; J H Adams Ironmongers. Here you can read more about the Adams Family Project which aims to preserve Adam’s treasure trove of memories and artefacts in an archive for future generations to enjoy.
2012 promises to be an eventful year with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics Find out what is being planned to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee in Littleport and how you can take part here.
I hope you enjoy our latest offering
