The Magazine
The Marnhull Messenger is a free circulation magazine that is distributed to every household in the Parish of Marnhull 10 months of the year (ie not January and August). It contains 40 to 44 pages in A5 size with notices and reports from the various organisations in the village - the Churches, Parish Council, Schools, Societies and Clubs. It is split 50/50 between text and advertising, which is confined mainly to Village organisations and businesses. An Annual Directory is also produced and distributed throughout the Village. It features the contact details of all the relevant Amenities, Services, Clubs, Government Bodies, Schools and Education providers, Interest Groups, Transport and so on.

The original Messenger was a one side A4 newsheet for the Anglican Church produced in 1965 or thereabouts. It progressed to include the other two Churches and finally, in 1995, it became the full version of the village magazine that it is now.

It is funded entirely by its advertising and contributions received from Village organisations. The "Parish Magazine" is seen as a valuable means of communication within the Community, which is very encouraging for the team who are responsible for bringing the Marnhull Messenger to its readers. The addition of this website is further evidence of our commitment to helping draw the Community even closer together.

The Website
The website was launched to coincide with the December 2005 issue of the Messenger magazine. The magazine itself is not put on the site but headlines and forthcoming events are. The website incorporates the Marnhull Annual Directory, so all the organisations listed in it can be found on this website.

In addition, any village organisation can have its own page. This can allow a headline about an event to be included on the Home Page which can link to a fuller account on the organisation's own page.

How to have your own page
Just send your information to the webmaster. This is the type of thing we need, plus some photographs, if possible:
  • The name and nature of your organisation
  • It's activities and character
  • Meeting days, times and venues
  • The names of those responsible - Chairman, Secretary etcetera.
  • Contact details: email addresses, postal addresses and telephone number (if you wish)
  • Subscription details, if any
  • Anything else you like, such as past events and successes plus forthcoming events

Your entry will be considerably livened up if you can send in some photographs. Even just one! Captions to go with them, would be helpful. If you have a logo send it.

If you take photographs at an event we can include a slide show for you in the Gallery. However, please consult Photographs in our Privacy Policy first to check that they meet our requirements.

The website does not carry advertising, at least at the moment, but we offer a link on the Links page for anybody trading in Marnhull who advertises in the Marnhull Messenger magazine, either for their website or just their email address. These links will be charged at the nominal fee of £5.00 for 2007. The rate will be reviewed after that.

Photographs are an important part of www.marnhullmessenger.org.uk. We seek to respect individual privacy and identity.

If we feel unsure that these guidelines have been followed, we will not include the photographs or, in the case of groups taken at events, we will blur individuals to preserve identities.

We aim to ensure that all photos used are in good taste and unlikely to cause offence. If, however, you see a photograph you would like to be removed please contact the webmaster with details and we will review the subject matter with the person or organisation submitting it.
