The Gazette Archive - Editor Mike Tate

In 2006 Mike caught the journalism bug as editor of The Gazette neighbourhood magazine circulated to Galmpton, Churston & Broadsands in Torbay with information similar to the Galmpton Resident's Association website.

Back then the media world was very different. It was before iPhone, iPad, Smart TV, Facebook, Twitter & Nextdoor and many had no PC.
Numerous organisations contributing to The Gazette did not have an Internet webpage. So a local neighbourhood magazine had a significant role to play.

Since the 2020 lockdown, almost everyone has a SmartPhone, Smart TV, tablet or laptop. Most organisations in The Gazette have a web page or Facebook page, or can create a free Nextdoor Business Page.
So The Gazette had served its purpose and it was time to hang up its pages. However, if anybody wishes to take it over, then Mike is happy to show them the ropes.

Email your events to Mike, who will publicise them via Nextdoor, Brixham Signal, Facebook, etc. He will also promote new local businesses & organisations, and advise on creating Nextdoor or Facebook pages.

Thank you to everyone who promoted, distributed, and contributed to The Gazette over the years. Without you it would not have have been so successful.

Mike has preserved photo albums of the Galmpton Gooseberry Pie Fair ~ 2010 ~ 2011 ~ 2012 ~ 2013 ~ 2014 ~ 2015 ~ 2016 ~ 2017 ~ 2018
