December Pen Paper

Please can I have any entries for December's Pen Paper within the next fortnight. Ideally by 18th. Articles, event promotions, news, reports etc by email to iansteadman46@outlook.com.

To get the most space for an event ad or poster it is better to make it landscape rather than portrait if possible. Need any help or advice please call me on 01747 841041

September Pen Paper - Fete Special?

If you have anything for the September Pen Paper please send it to me at iansteadman46@outlook.com by 16th August if possible. All potential content welcome, if uncertain give me a call.

If there are any events for early December then the December Pen Paper might be a little late so I suggest putting them in the September one as advance notice.

Also, the September edition will have, I hope, plenty of coverage of our highly successful 70th Fete. In particular I would welcome…

The Fete - Saturday 2nd August

Observant readers of the June Pen Paper have spotted that nowhere in its pages does it give the date of the most important event this quarter, the Village Fete. I have no idea how such a thing could happen. #sacktheeditor
