A magazine that covers both Church and village news is published 10 times a year (excludes August and January), and distributed through a volunteer network to households in the villages of Halstead & Badgers Mount.

All newcomers to the villages should receive a complimentary copy together with the local "yellow pages" soon after they arrive to help them settle in. If you would like to receive a copy, please contact Edwina Beaumont or Lesley Guy (01959) 533360 or (01959) 533393. Your nearest distributor will then call on you to collect your subscription (£3.50 per year) and deliver your magazine. Please note subscriptions are normally collected at the end of January.

Contributing to the magazine is easy, so if you would like to promote an event, group or activity or have an article you feel may be of interest to others, please send it to the editor at brian-lynda@alleeson.wanadoo.co.uk or drop in at 5, Clarkes Lane. Copies must be received by 12th each month to appear in the next issue.

Advertising in the magazine helps to subsidise costs. If you would like to advertise your business then please contact Lewis Grey on lemsey.grey@virgin.net . If you would like to know more about any of the charities listed above or have any suggestions of Christian or local charities that we could consider for support from St. Margaret's Church please contact Deborah Walsh on 01732 455649.
