THE RIDDLESDOWN RECORDER
The magazine of the Association

This comes out twice a year in April and October and is distributed to about 1350 households.
Items for inclusion should be submitted to the Editor, Nick Bygrave (44 Riddlesdown Avenue, Purley CR8 1JJ), at the very latest by the end of February for the April issue and the end of August for the October issue - the earlier the better as space can be limited. Please ring 8660 0787 re delivery.
All items will be considered for the magazine but are always subject to availability of space and suitability of content.
Free inclusion in the magazine's Community Pages of short pieces (new ones required for each issue, please) about local associations, activities and events is offered, but please get them in as early as possible.

Advertisements in The Riddlesdown Recorder

We have a limited space available for paid advertising and you are invited to send in designs, or copy from which we can, if you wish, produce designs to your requirements. Adverts once accepted will continue to be inserted in the magazine until we are instructed otherwise (unless lack of space for editorial material forces us to omit them from particular issues).
Local businesses or individuals take precedence over any outside the RRA area in the event of conflict for space.
