Who Runs the Site?
|
This web site is produced and maintained by the Blewbury Bulletin,
which is a newsletter for the village of Blewbury.
The Bulletin is run by a committee which is a voluntary organisation, independent of official bodies such as the Parish Council and independent of religious and political interests. Any profits are used for the benefit of the Village.

Advertisements
|
The printed Bulletin relies on advertising to
cover its costs and welcomes advertisements from local organisations
and individuals based in Blewbury and immediately neighbouring villages.
If room permits, we also welcome advertisments for specialised services
from further afield if they do not overlap significantly with local
services, are not widely advertised elsewhere and are likely to be
of interest to village residents.
No advertisements are carried on this web site.
Advertisements for the printed Bulletin can be accepted in three sizes.
-
A rectangle 60mm wide by 40mm high costing £1.50.
-
A rectangle 60mm wide by 85mm high costing £3.50.
-
A rectangle 90mm wide by 65mm high costing £4.
Please note that we do not accept
larger advertisements, or advertisements of other shapes.
Advertisements should be in black and white only.
Please note that white text on a black background does not print
well. Photographs can be printed but with some loss of quality for
technical reasons.

About the Bulletin
|
The Blewbury Bulletin is published for every month except August. It is delivered free to every household in Blewbury,
and is paid for by the advertisements.
The Bulletin was first published in May 1965. It was one of the pioneers, in this area,
of this method of encouraging participation in village life.
It was edited for over twenty years by Roger Cambray until his death in 1998.
It has also at intervals produced and distributed the Blewbury Village Directory
supplying local information similar to that on this web site.
The Bulletin began publishing this web site in May 1998. This is complementary to the printed publications,
and printed versions of the Blewbury Village Directory, based on this site, will continue to be published.

How You Can Help
|
|
The Bulletin is always very glad to
receive offers of help. Every month a team of volunteer helpers
collate the printed issue, and another team deliver it to to all
the letterboxes in the village. All those involved in the Bulletin,
including all committee members, are unpaid volunteers.
If you would like to help with collating or with delivering, either
regularly or just from time to time, the Local
Distribution Editor (above) would be delighted to hear from
you. Collating takes about 1 1/2 hours, and delivering to part of
the village takes an hour or two, for each issue.
