The village's monthly magazine, The Woodcote Correspondent, is now well into its twenty first successive year of publication. Edited, produced and distributed by volunteers from the village, it is an A4 sized publication, now running to 32 pages in most months. Each issue includes colour photographs of people and events which have taken place in Woodcote, or nearby.
The Woodcote Correspondent covers its costs from advertising and sometimes donates some of its surpluses to village causes. It is a free paper and, in addition to Woodcote, the magazine also reaches all households in the neighbouring hamlets of Exlade Street and Crays Pond.
How can I include an article?
Since May 2000 the editor has been Christopher Quinton and articles for inclusion can be emailed to him at wood-co@runbox.com. The deadline for receipt of copy is the 8th of the month preceding the month of publication, although earlier submissions are warmly welcomed, as they greatly reduce deadline pressures.
How can I place an advertisement?
If you would like to advertise in the Woodcote Correspondent, please note the following:
We have three types of advertisement,
1. a Small Ad – three lines of text (the first couple of words are in bold); these appear on the
back page with all the other small ads in a box,
2. a Boxed (or Display) Ad; various standard sizes are available up to ¼ page; may contain pictures
and text; usually surrounded by a black border,
3. a Flyer, which you get printed and made available to the Woodcote Correspondent Distributors
for delivering with the magazine. It may be printed on paper up to 120g/m², up to A3 size, folded
down to a maximum size of of A4.
Your first step is to email your enquiry or requirements to wood-co@runbox.com; your email will be answered by our Advertising Manager, Jenny Welham. She will send you our current price list, terms and conditions and instructions for setting out your advertisement in our house style. The instructions are for creating an ad using Microsoft Word (which is what we use to set out the magazine for printing), but we can usually use one of the standard picture formats (jpeg, png, gif, etc) or a pdf. Your ad should be returned to the same email address, fao Dan Oldfield (the Production Manager). Once you have decided the size and how many insertions you want, we will send you an invoice. Please allow enough time to complete your ad by the publishing deadline of the 14th, and to pay the invoice a couple of working days before this, as we do insist on payment in advance.
