The Grapevine is a coloured monthly village newsletter issued 10 times a year. The months January / December and August / September are combined.

It also features contributions from local organisations to help keep villagers in touch with the community. The deadline for editorial contributions should be 13th of the previous month. Subscription is £5.00 for 10 copies, paper or digital.  If you wish to contact or subscribe to the Grapevine email us at the address below.

Advertising
The Grapevine advertises local events by charities, clubs, etc. free. About one eighth of its content is paid-for commercial advertising of local businesses – to enquire about rates, sizes, availability, please contact The Grapevine on the email address below. Please note that the deadline is the 15th of the previous month, so let us know in plenty of time.

Advertising Your Event in The Grapevine
We will advertise an event IF it takes place in Flackwell and/or it is being run by a Flackwell organisation that is non-profit, such as a charity, club or school. It must be a public event, not members only. A simple advert is then free.
Please give FULL details. Remember the old rhyme ‘I have six honest serving men who taught me all I knew. Their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who’
In this context that means:
What – sort of an event e.g. Fun Day, Car Wash, perhaps with details
Why – e.g. to raise funds for XXX, celebrate something
When – date, day, time
How – how to book, how much does it cost
Where – venue
Who – target population e.g. adults, children, and also, who is running the event
……and any other point e.g. if wet in Scout Hut.
If you want to send us an ad you have designed yourself, please appreciate that our space is limited, and your ad may have to be reduced; if it is too crowded, legibility may suffer.
