SCAN - Stilton Community Association Newsletter - 2007 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.

Editions of SCAN for 2007are listed below, most recent at the top. Please click the cover image, or the Month-Year link, to open.
SCANs for previous years can be found in the 2005 Archive and the 2006 Archive.

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. Pdf files are larger, but preserve the formatting, so you get to see SCAN as its editor intended. Please let us know what you think: e-mail contact@stilton.org.
