Durham Peeler–Winter 2019 now online

Alan Watson,  Editor of Durham Peeler has been hard at work over the last few months producing the Winter 2019 edition of the Durham Peeler. The magazine looks great and is full of interesting stories & info.

This is the last edition of Durham Peeler that Alan will produce as he is ‘handing over the reins’ to Ray Jones (although Alan will still be helping Ray). Alan has been the Editor & publishing manager of the  magazine for twenty two years (22years), a fantastic achievement and the Durham NARPO branch has been so fortunate to have had the benefit of Alan’s skills portrayed in the Durham Peeler
