I HOPE you all had a fantastic Christmas and are looking forward to a prosperous New Year ahead. I also hope the mince pies and cold turkey sarnies are finally coming to an end, and that you're stocked up on Alka-Seltzer ready for Monday!

Ch-ch-ch-changes

IT'S been quite a challenge this week, not because there's been too much to do, but rather because there hasn't been enough! This week's edition is slimmer than usual, principally because advertising volume falls around Christmas as advertisers prefer to save their cash to plug their New Year wares. And if there are fewer adverts, there are fewer pages, resulting in this week's modest edition.

Bad week for the Bay

IT'S never easy talking to a football manager after the week Colwyn Bay have had.
Two 3-0 defeats and a 2-2 home draw in a game they should have won comfortably has piled the pressure on Peter Davenport - but fair play to him, he is always willing to talk and is not one for hiding behind a switched off phone when things are going badly.

Without us, you're missing something

AFTER last week's depleted Newsdesk, it's ironic that we had a full complement of reporters in this week churning stories out like there was no tomorrow and causing a headache for this particular news editor who has to make it all fit!

A sub's life

Hello, my name is Joel and I'm a Sub-Editor here at the Weekly News office.
This means I, as part of a team, take all the stories written by the reporters and, via computer, put them all on the pages. This encludes ensuring they fit in, the picture is there, there is a catchy headline and none of the story is offensive or legally dangerous.

Awards night is a big hit

ONE of the highlights of the year for the me as Weekly News Sports Editor is the Conwy Borough Sports Awards, which the Weekly News have sponsored enthusiastically for the past nine years.
And once again feed-back from this year's glittering presentation night, held recently at Venue Cymru in Llandudno, shows what a popular event this has become.

Christmas? Bah humbug!

CHRISTMAS has fallen fairly kindly for us this year and for a change I won't spend all the time being portrayed as Scrooge. At least I hope not.
It sounds a bit naff I know, but we have to carry on regardless no matter what the time of year because we are only as good as our next paper.

A melody of maladies

THE newsroom has been like a doctor's waiting room this week. Of the editorial staff who have been in work, many have been coughing, sneezing, sniffing and generally struggling gamely to get things done. It's that time of year when coughs and sneezes spread diseases, and in a nice open plan office like ours, once one person gets the dreaded lurgy, we can all look forward to sharing it.
