October 2014 Letter from the Editor Someone asked me the other day to describe Hiya Bucks, they said “is it a Business Directory”? I thought long and hard before I answered this simple question because I think Hiya Bucks has evolved since it began last year. It began as a business directory but now is it so much more. My answer to this question was “no it’s not a business directory it’s a big community magazine”. Front Cover:  Greg Hopkins Liaison spokesperson for Forty Green & Knotty Green allotments and Penn Parish Council see article on page 10 You see I have been listening to you, the readers, over the last 12 months and realized that what you actually want is something to read when you sit down with a cup of tea or coffee. You don’t want something that is back to back adverts, you want to know about people in your community, things that are happening in your community and events you can attend in your community. The puzzles featured are not there to fill the gaps, they are there because you have asked for them to be there. The regular articles are there because you want an update on what is happening with local clubs and organisations. 1,000 leaflet inserts within this magazine £40 With this in mind I have introduced a monthly competition for you. A competition that is open to all ages, with a variety of prizes to interest all readers. So, enjoy this month’s edition of Hiya Bucks and if you like send me a photo of your homemade burger (page 44) or a photo of your half knitted green jumper (page 26) or even a photo of you on a special birthday. That’s what community magazines are all about.
