Invitation for articles
The Winkfield Parish Mag is almost entirely based on articles written by local people, about local events, or generally, that, are of interest to other local people. All contributions are welcomed – particularly about what involves you so much that that you would like to share it!
The essentials are that all articles must be complete in the context, immediate, so that people can relate to it, interesting, particularly in the first few words, accurate and kind. See also the [Parish Mag editorial policy] by using the button above.
Please do not submit published articles(whatever their source), because of copyright issues, or articles that can be accessed by a link on the web. What we need is original articles, based on your knowledge and experience. If an external article has inspired you, it is OK to write about it, with full attribution, and verbatim quotes should be between quote marks.
Please do not submit articles that do not fit normal A5 page standards - reformatting is frankly a 'pain' for the editors: if you must do so, please provide A5-formatted Word text that will work without much extra effort on the part of the editors.
We will normally publish interesting articles that follow the guidelines, but the editors always reserve the right to correct, curtail or delay submissions. We are always ready to give guidance and advice. Write by email to the editors, Mr and Mrs Anthony Hodson at info@fosmw.com and always put ‘parish mag’ somewhere in the Subject field for any message to do with the Winkfield Parish Mag (AKA ‘the parish mag’).

Ownership and Management of the Parish Mag
The Winkfield Parish Mag belongs to and supports the Winkfield Parish directly, and is managed by the PCC. It is not a publication of the Friends of St Mary's Winkfield, although the Friends sponsor the Parish Mag by hosting the online Winkfield Parish Mag on their own webpage www.fosmw.com/parishmag/ .
The Friends also publish related advertising, on their own webpage www.fosmw.com/parishmag/advertisers.html - the Friends do not receive funding for this, and all paid advertising revenues go into the PCC account without involving the Friends.
The management of the Parish News, of advertising and revenue from advertising is the responsibility of the PCC, and not of the editors, nor of the Friends. It is the PCC that is responsible for setting advertising rates, and for recovering resulting revenue.
The Parish Mag is also accessible from the Parish website
