MEARS ASHBY & HARDWICK MAMGAZINE 'VILLAGE LIFE'
The Mears Ashby and Hardwick Magazine, 'Village Life', is run on a voluntary basis to ensure that all members of the community are aware of events, activities, news and services regarding Mears Ashby and Hardwick; to provide a means for the promotion of village clubs and societies to increase popularity and participation; to create a closer community by allowing people to share their stories, ideas and concerns; to facilitate interaction between villagers and those involved in the magazine, to create a stronger and more sustainable community; to act as a focal point for the community in partnership with other relevant organisations to further the recommendations of the Parish Plan; and to bring benefit to both villages in appropriate ways.
We are very grateful to the many people who contribute articles and time to Village Life and encourage you to send us your letters, articles, comments, photos, etc. We are also interested in news of births, marriages and deaths of anyone connected to our villages that may not have been recorded by the Parish— photos of weddings are especially welcome!
Please email contributions to the Editor or Sub-Editor.
