Felton Old Bridge Engraving“The Bridge” is a bimonthly newsletter written and produced for the whole community by local volunteers and circulated free to over 650 households in Felton and Thirston. It is the ideal way to publicise or advertise an event or service. Please make use of the opportunities we offer. We welcome all contributions to the newsletter, particularly on disk or via e-mail, but ask that contributors providing articles as computer files note the following: please ensure that your articles are saved as text only files (with filenames ending in .txt) to ensure compatibility with our desktop publishing software. Most word processors have this facility; if you need technical help on completing the task, please contact one of the production team for advice.

Thank you and we hope you enjoy the issues.
