We called our news pages after Jicky (Ordrick Samuel) who for many years announced village news including birthdays, deaths, meetings and his opinion on local politics – interspersed with his favourite songs – over a loudspeaker from his roof with only occasional interruptions, until finally he was shut down by a new neighbour. Sadly now we reluctantly have to use facebook instead, but this is our only social media presence.

We have kept our old Jicky’s Latest News (JLN) articles as an archive going back over twenty years as far as 2004 when the barbudaful website started. Some of the older posts have lost some of their content (images and old links) over that time but they are an interesting snapshot of life on Barbuda and you can search through them here.
