The Marston Times
Not just a church magazine, but a newsletter serving the whole community. As well as church information,and times of services for the current month, there are reports from the Parish Council about general village concerns, reminders about when the dustbins are going to be emptied after Bank Holidays! forthcoming meetings and events, and personal news. There's a useful directory of local businesses and organisations. And there's plenty of scope for you to be involved by sending in news oritems or suggestions for inclusion.
The Marston Times is published monthly and the January issue is distributed free to every home in the parish. Subsequent issues are distributed to all subscribers, or available at the back of church.
Not only star journalism about the local community, but also lively comment that gets people talking in all the best Marston pubs, (of which there are five: The Bricklayer's Arms, The Jack Russell, The Red Lion, The Three Horseshoes and The Victoria Arms) in the form of the Vicar's Front Page. For more information about the Marston Times, contact The Editor, Jan Sanders, on 01865 244481
