October 2026 issue here
I seem to have written regularly recently but here I go again! As you should know from the September issue, the magazine has just celebrated its 50th anniversary. This has been done on the back of a considerable number of volunteers and most of us still around
celebrated at a drinks party at the Windmill recently.
However, we are still looking for someone to take over the role of annual advertising manager from Pat. It really isn’t an arduous job but, to the DN, it’s essential. Without our income from our advertisers, there would be no DN. It’s as simple as that. We don’t get any funding from other sources.
The role involves once a year sending emails from a dedicated email address to all our previous advertisers and usually some on a very short waiting-list, to invite them to place an advert for the following year. Surprisingly perhaps, they nearly all reply positively.
In fact there’s usually competition to take the best spots. Sometimes advertisers use the same artwork as previous years, sometimes they change it. However, and this is significant, the person in this role is not expected to do anything with the artwork when it arrives, other than send it on to one of our team who ensures that it’s the correct size and quality. Then there’s communicating with our treasurer, passing on contact details and advert details. Beyond that, it’s just checking the email address for communications over the year. Simples.
Please call me to have a chat about it.
