The Bar Hill News has been published virtually continuously since 1967.
The Bar Hill Residents Association has done a good job of saving copies of each issue (including the very first), but occasionally an issue is lost. Some have been loaned out and never returned, and a few were probably never archived in the first place! There have also been a couple of "numbering issues" over the ages and a change in the way the December/ January issues were put together - sometimes a combined issue, sometimes separate, sometimes just with a different back cover.
All of these reasons help to explain why the archive isn't complete.
Below is a list of the issues we know for certain are missing.
1987 : March 1987 Issue 219, September 1987 Issue 225
2000: April 2000 Issue 364, May 2000 Issue 365
2010: February 2010 Issue 471
2017: February 2017 Issue 578
2019: June 2019 Issue 604, July 2019 Issue 605
This list was last updated on 15th February 2026. The total number of missing issues at this time is SEVEN.
If you have one, please let us know! We only want to borrow and scan it; you can have it back then.
Recovered Dec 2025. It turns out that this issue has the incorrect year on the front cover - 1986 - and so it had been filed in 1986. Looking at the content (and the number), it was clear this was a missing issue from 1987.
