Wow! What can I say but a million ‘thank yous’!

I’m truly honoured to be winner of the inaugural Northern Devon Flourishing Culture Awards 2025 in the rural community engagement category, for my work publishing Molton Monthly Magazine.

Presented with a fabulous Dartington Crystal glass trophy by Seth Conway at this prestigious celebration of northern Devon, organised by North Devon and Torridge District Councils, at a glittering ceremony at The Park Hotel in Barnstaple last night.

A massive thank you to all those who nominated me, all the readers, contributors, businesses, charity and community groups - and my hard working delivery team.

Also big thanks to my wonderful wife Bianca for her unwavering support (and these pictures!). And a special shout out to local photographer Karolina Andreasova who records many local events for the magazine.

Cheers everyone!

Peter Robinson, editor and publisher
