back to topAbout the CACN Committee
The Crich Area Community News was started in 1996 when it was thought a good idea to set up a free village magazine so that different organisations could communicate with the village and surrounding areas. A small informal group of interested people under the chairmanship of Derek Killingsley Smith set about this task with the simple mission statement: Aims to enhance and further the community spirit within the Crich Area.
As well as being founding chairman Derek Killingsley Smith was the honorary editor steering the magazine through its first formative ten years. In this he was fully supported by the CACN editorial committee. Two other of the founder members are still very actively involved - David Billyeald the current Chairman and Graham Swift the Treasurer.
Thanks to the efforts of the Editorial Committee, Fund Raisers, Advertisers, Proof Readers, Delivery Volunteers and Contributors the magazine now has a circulation of 1650 and has developed from a few pages to typically 72 pages.
In 2006 CACN broadened out and went online thanks to Andrew Auld who is the webmaster for the magazine.
The current CACN Committee is:
- David Billyeald - Chairman
- Kirsty Blyth - Secretary
- Graham Swift - Treasurer (01773 852709)
- Ron Spencer - Advertising Manager
- Stephen Redfern - Distribution Manager
- Vicki Billyeald - 50/50 Draw Co-ordinator
- Derek Killingsley-Smith - Subscriptions Co-ordinator
- Peter Patilla - Editor
