Notes for contributors Hints for authors Newsletter advertisers
Breaking news! Clarborough & Welham Newsletter has some advertising space available for our Spring 2025 and subsequent issues.
Take a look at advertising ‘reach’ here and also check out how many views of the Newsletters on this page get by clicking on the link in the ‘Version 4.01’ box at top right of this page.
Our Community Newsletter is now an established feature of local life - and much wider than that! Published quarterly, it is currently a 24-page, A4, glossy full-colour ‘journal’ containing a mix of public information, articles and community group notices. Distributed free to every household in Clarborough and Welham. Clarborough Primary School also provides copies for families who live outside our immediate community. Further, we place batches of Newsletters in Retford (Denman) Library, Bassetlaw Action Centre, Bassetlaw Museum, Retford Arts Hub, and also The Aurora Centre and BCVS (both in Worksop) as well as several other online outlets. Copies are also placed (for ‘passing trade’) at Clarborough’s King Stores SPAR outlet and Kings Arms. Our print run is currently 600. Many pages are also read online since this website contains current and back issues of our Newsletter (see below). We are also grateful to BCVS (Bassetlaw Community & Voluntary Service) who incorporate copies of our Newsletter in their weekly Bulletin which goes to well over a thousand destinations across the area and even into North Derbyshire and South Yorkshire! Finally, we are also grateful to Michael Carnall who manages our Village Hall’s Outreach Post Office as well as many other such ‘outreaches’ across our area for distributing copies to customers in other villages.
Finance for this initiative was, for many years, divided between our community IT Group and revenue from advertising. Our Parish Council has provided a significant grant towards the printing costs in recent years although the Newsletter remains editorially independent. From Autumn 2015 a local entrepreneur, who wishes to remain anonymous, has provided printing services ‘at cost’ until our Winter 2024 issue. We are currently seeking funding streams or sponsorship to continue this full-colour production for the foreseeable future.

We are in urgent need of help with Newsletter distributions - no ‘patch’ is too small! Our trusty band of volunteers are sometimes really stretched, particularly at times of holidays or illness. If you would be prepared to help our team, please get in touch with Greg (see foot of page) to discuss - everyone will be very grateful.
