The meeting is in Mountfield Village Hall (make sure you go to the right village hall!)

There will be FREE DRINKS (alcoholic and soft) and nibbles. This is partly a social occasion, an opportunity to have a relaxing chat with neighbours and others in Brightling, Dallington, Mountfield and Netherfield. It is also our AGM (Annual General Meeting) so there will be some brief formalities (very brief, we promise) including electing the committee that runs the magazine between parties.

We will also be showing off our ideas for an updated cover design, please come and give us your views.

The committee hopes that as many people as possible will come. It’s an opportunity to show your support for the magazine (if you like it) or tell us what’s wrong (if you don’t like it!), or just a relaxing evening with a glass of wine or something.

I look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday evening.
Andrew Wedmore (Chair, Messenger Magazine)
