About the newsletter

Frequency and Circulation:
The Achnasheen and Garve News & Views newsletter is delivered free to all households in the Garve and District Community Council catchment area, and sold in local shops, post offices and hotels in Contin, Aultguish, Achnasheen, Lochcarron and Kinlochewe.

Cover price, where sold, is 35p (from March/April 2010 issue) which contributes towards the running costs of photocopier.

Postal subscriptions are available at £6.50 per annum

Six issues per annum are published (every two months), approximately 7 days before each Community Council Meeting.

NOTE:
From the next (Easter) issue, the cover price of this newsletter will be increased to 35p.

Householders in the GDCC catchment will continue to receive their copies delivered free of any charge, but those copies sold in shops, hotels, etc, will be at the new price.

Those outlets selling the newsletter will be provided with an invoice with the newsletters, which should be paid immediately to the person who delivers to them to you. Sorry, but we are unable to supply newsletters on a sale/return basis.

The invoice will be for the full amount, however, if the outlet wishes, they may deduct a 5p ‘commission’ per newsletter, as a thank you from the Community Council for selling on our behalf.

However, if the outlet wishes to donate the 5p per unit to the Community Council, this sum will be put into the fund for the Over 60’s Christmas Party.

Full details will be outlined on the invoice with the newsletters.

If anyone else would like to sell the News & Views on our behalf, and earn the 5p per unit commission for themselves or another good cause, please contact Harry or Helen Grainge (01997 455238) to make arrangements.

A BIG THANK YOU to all outlets for your continued support!
