Mike and Candy Piercy
From Lacey Green History
Hallmark June 1992. Clem Brown meets Candy Piercy.
In 2009 Mike Piercy took over the editorship of Hallmark from Norman Tyler. For more about Norman Tyler click Norman & Bette Tyler.
Mike wrote in Hallmark, in his first edition as Editor in 2009 :- I have lived in the village for nearly 30 years with my wife Candy - my children have now grown up and moved on. Over the years I have had a variety of roles in various village organisations, been a School Governor at St John's and twice been Chairman of Village Day. I have also been involved from the beginning in the development of the village website.
For the past year I have been shadowing Norman and assisting him with editing Hallmark. I must give him my thanks for the time he has taken to train me up and to affect a smooth handover. Though I have some ideas of how I would like to develop Hallmark in the future I do not plan to make any radical changes to what is already a very successful publication.
However, I work full time in London and will not be able to get to village events during the day. So I am looking for one or more Contributing Authors who can write articles for publication. These contributions could be attending events and reporting the news, or a more investigative role by doing some research into the people, organisations and history that make up our village and writing articles on them. So if you feel you could do a bit of amateur journalism please contact me for a chat.
