As of this edition our Editor Ray Lilley has decided to ease back and enjoy life.
Ray stepped in to the editorial job in May 2023 when our founding editor Mike Beckett sadly and suddenly died.
With Ray we were extremely lucky to get an editor with so much experience, to step in and fill the shoes of the institution that was Mike.
Ray wasn’t so sure that it was him, after a fantastic 52 years on the front lines of real journalism around the world. Plus, he has an Olive Grove to fill in any spare time.
However, Ray did get to do 26 months in the hot seat of the Star for which we all have been grateful. Fortunately for Star readers Ray will not be totally lost to us, he plans to still write articles on topics that interest him and avoid the small issues that can take up so much time and energy.
Thank you, Ray for your skills, leadership and support to the Star during your time as our Editor and we look forward to reading your insightful future articles.
