SCAN - Stilton Community Association Newsletter - 2006 archive

SCAN is the Stilton Community Association Newsletter, a packed publication of news, views, activities and advertisements, assembled and edited by a small team and delivered free to every household in Stilton, Denton and Caldecote every month (around 1100 copies reaching around 2500 people). Read about the whole process in the January 2005 edition.

SCAN is printed by CARESCO in Sawtry, a splendid local care and resource organisation, who also produce the Sawtry Eye. If you need short-run photocopying and document production for your organisation, why not contact CARESCO or call (01480) 832105.

Up to August 2006, they are held in text-only MS Word97 format. If you don't have MS Word on your PC, you can download a viewer from the Microsoft website.
From September 2006, past SCAN editions are provided in pdf format, for which you need a viewer such as Adobe Reader. If you don't have a viewer, you can download one from the Adobe website.
