“Buzz” now publishes online only, and we no longer produce a downloadable monthly pdf. We’ll maintain our archive of past copies and articles of community & local historical interest – a significant proportion of our 420-500 weekly visits are to this type of content.
The website comprises our usual articles (gardening notes, shipping news, cookery, local history, IT advice, etc) and some, not all, matters of community interest. We rely on our local community’s continuing participation in this! There will be no commercial input or advertising, and in fact no regular monthly advertising or schedules for anyone. We will give publicity to major community events (Regatta, Christmas Lights, Art Trek, etc). We’ll feature local community organisations and their events from time to time, but not on a regular basis. The aim is to limit the number of monthly posts to 15-20, some of which will subsequently be retained in the archive.
The contact details will be the same – Rose Arno on [email protected] for all articles for consideration, and the telephone numbers 07929-976120 and 01237-476549.

After reading The Excise Man by A.H.Barnstaple
I’ve been trawling through my family’s history (hoping to get booking at North Devon Record Office in Barnstaple in mid March this year). I found a John Floyed who came up to Poplar in London with his wife (Sarah maiden name Paddon). They were the beginning of a family who went on to name one son with the first names Silas Hiscutt.
