The long-established Parish News magazine, containing information and news from and about the parishes of Great & Little Maplestead, Pebmarsh and Gestingthorpe, has undergone a significant change for 2024.
The Steering Committee, which was originally set up in 2018 and includes representatives from the four parishes, has been re- formed to improve the management and finances of the magazine and assist the Editor to ensure that it better reflects each parish’s specific needs. Amongst the re-formed committee’s initial decisions were to move to full colour printing and establish an on-line presence, via a dedicated Facebook page and links on the four parish websites, to broaden the magazine's readership demographic.
These changes have been designed not only to help improve the appearance and attractiveness of the printed magazine to both readers and ad
There are 10 issues published each year – one a month but with single issues for December/January and July/August.
A full-colour, flip-page version of the current issue can also be read here.
