This volunteering lark for the Gander can't be bad, as some of the team has been here for decades!, become an active, valued member of our village community.
Volounteer!
We have a new, very well organised "Digital Honker", so good, that she's filled TWO roles. Rebecca de Torre is the new "Assistant to the Editor", and between us, the Gander's operation is soaring smoothly.
We also want to thank those that have stepped up to add a few more fresh articles, with special thanks to Kevan Spenser with his cartoons, and debut articles starting in the Autumn 2026, with Emma Louise Maynard in the Nature section, and Amy Witter on Farming and Food.
Roving Reporters are important, and you don't have to contribute regularly, so if you have a great idea for an article or feature, we want to hear from you!
For the time being, nearly every bit of design and layout is being produced by the Editor for the printed publication, and the website. If you are willing and able to offer help with this, get in touch!
Most of us have busy lives - families, work, and endless to-do lists, but we always make time to get the quarterly issue produced. There are three months between issues, so once that deadline pressure lifts, there’s a real sense of shared achievement when the final copy lands on Goxhill doorsteps.
If you’ve noticed our Facebook feed is a bit quiet, we need you! Help us keep the village updated online and maybe even help us expand to new social platforms.
Previously held by Ferne Carmichael. You are the glue that holds us together! You’ll stay in touch with our advertisers and contributors, sending out friendly deadline reminders and gathering content.
Since we don’t have a central pub or post office to hang out at, we rely on people who are active in the local social circles. If you’re "in the know" about what’s happening around the village, we want your updates!
Help us make the magazine look sleek. You’ll take part in general type-setting and creating event posters. No experience needed - we'll show you the ropes in Affinity by Canva.
The "Inside Scoop"
You’ll find out what’s going on in the village before anyone else (just keep it under your wing until we publish!).
Tech-Forward
We’ve taken huge leaps with collaborative document sharing and a very active, friendly team chat group.
Low Pressure
We only have quarterly editorial and trustee meetings, some of which we are now hosting online.
Work Your Way: We all work from home on our own equipment.
You don't have to become a "permanent" member of the team to get involved. Our website serves as a complimentary village resource, while the magazine holds the deep dives. We have several "bite-sized" projects for those who want to contribute:
Choose to do as much or as little as you want. We've listed some roles, but you could even make up your own! Submit a contact form or give Rose Williams - Overall Editor a call on 07498 719056. You can also contact any of the team listed on page 3 of the magazine.
