e The Country Neighbour - Basildon's monthly village magazine

The Country Neighbour

Basildon's monthly village magazine with a circulation to approximately 650 households in Upper and Lower Basildon.

Can you help?

We are looking for volunteers to help out with the production of the Country Neighbour. The CN is collated on the last Thursday of each month at the Church Centre from 9 - 11.15am and we are looking for helpers. If you can spare an hour or so (not necessarily every month) you will be sure of a warm welcome. We are also looking for someone to compile the Entertainment Guide each month. If you are interested in either of these roles, please contact Sandy Mathieson on 671772 or Barbara Graham on 671859.
