ECHO PASSED AROUND

Dear Editor,

Before the advent of the internet, the Echo was read in many places via a hand-to-hand system. In an edition (issue 101, January 1994), the following process is described …. The Civic Editor passes it to a friend. It then goes to her daughter-in-law who gives it to a Mrs Norma Brook. It then goes via an address in Oadby to Mrs Brook's sister-in-law who lives in Totnes, Devon. Then, amazingly, to Ruth Williams née Newport formerly of Norwood Road, in Australia. Then to Joan Capey, formerly of Roundhill Road, also in Australia & finally, sometimes to Barbara Hall, formerly Norwood Road, in America. Although this a sterling effort, nowadays the Echo can be read via the internet www.evingtonecho.co.uk
