The newspaper is called Hackney Today and NOT Hackney Gazette - my bad! But personally, I think this newspaper is better than Gazette, as it is free to local residents and delivered to the door every fortnight which people are most likely to read.

I will bring a copy for everyone to see on our next meeting.

Here is a print screened copy of the deadlines and publications which was attached to the email.



I think we should either publish our advertisement in Issue 172 (deadline: Fri 9 Nov, Publication date: Monday 19 Nov) but it may be a little too early... or Issue 173 (deadline: Fri 23 Nov, Publication date: Monday 3 December) which may be a little too late? We'll discuss this further in our meeting.

Alana
