Every month (except January) the Association publishes “The Guide”, an A5 sized magazine of 20 or more pages, in full colour, of local news, activities, features and reports from our affiliated clubs and social organisations. The Guide has a free monthly circulation to our members, around 1800 local households, and others by email. Our members show their interest and commitment to the local community by subscribing annually, and as such, they can be relied upon to read the Guide, including adverts, when it is delivered. Overall local readership is 3 - 4000 in the Raynes Park and West Barnes wards of the London Borough of Merton. Copies of the Guide are also distributed to our local libraries and other places where the community meets.
We offer advertising space in a variety of formats, to suit both small and larger businesses, from “Small Ads”, or classified advertisements, to a range of Display Advertisements. Our prices are competitive and we do not charge VAT.
