Loddon Reach Magazine wins National Award

Earlier this year, Gillian Steedman - designer, production manager and the former editor of Loddon Reach magazine - entered the National Parish Magazine Awards, submitting two copies of the magazine for review. We are delighted to annouce that the magazine is the category winner for content and in third place overall. And that was out of 890 - yes 890 - entries!

Of course, we wouldn't have won this award without the contributions from all parties - so thank you, all.

St Mary's Winter Fayre - help required

If you are having an autumn turnout and find any unused gifts which would be suitable for a Christmas Gift Stall at the Winter Fayre on 24th November, do bring them along to church and put them in the box near the door. We would also appreciate books, items for a tombola, bottles, etc. Ann Young
