The first Hayle Pump came out in December 1994 and the editors were: Jeff and Sarah Turk.
Over 25 years later they have put Issue 151 to bed and hung up their green eye shades.
In the days before desktop publishing, producing and duplicating the Pump was a laborious process involving real cutting and pasting. In recent years computers have made this a much easier task. Jeff & Sarah have done it all.
All of us in Hayle owe Jeff and Sarah a huge vote of thanks for the huge amount of work they have put in to bring us our much-read Hayle Pumps.
But the Pump is not dead. Stephen Murley is taking over as editor having learned the ropes from Jeff & Sarah. And Claire Sheppard at Harvey's Foundry Trust in Foundry Square will be the treasurer.
Oh, and Jeff is still managing the advertising! |
