           The Community Times, which was first published  in 1989 by the Community Council, was established to "keep the residents  of the Nayland and Wissington community informed about the activities of the  local clubs, associations and organisations in the village" and to  "help promote the objectives of the Community Council".  In the early days it was not expected to  generate any income, in fact proceeds from a grand draw at the annual fete were  dedicated each year to funding the Community Times.  Advertising was later introduced and the CT  gradually became self-financing; it now generates a profit for the Community  Council. 
            The  Community Times  has had three editors in its 25 year history.  The first editor, Keith Worricker,  established the newsletter and developed it into a successful publication. Upon his  retirement in October 2002 Sarah Fogarty took the reins until February 2004  when they were passed on to the present editor, Lorraine Brooks, who developed it into a digitally generated magazine. 
            Of course,  the Community times has a whole team of  volunteers behind it.  The regular contributors of articles, reports  and copy and advertisers are vital to make the magazine of interest to readers  and the team of proof-readers ensure copy has no errors.  The CT would not reach residents' doors  without the loyal team of distributors, currently led by Colin Ramsell, but for  many years led by Roy and Jean Evans.   The Community Council is grateful to everyone involved.
