It takes about 40 people, all of whom are volunteers, to collate and deliver The Marnhull Messenger to every home and business in the village. We are extremely grateful to this dedicated team, without whom the magazine simply would not flourish. Whilst we always aim to deliver the magazine by the 1st of the month, from time to time illness, family commitments and a myriad of other personal issues can sometimes get in the way, resulting in the occasional SUBMIT YOUR EVENTS INTO late delivery. Recently, there have been a few complaints from villagers, because they felt their copy of The Marnhull Messenger was delivered A LIVE CALENDAR late.
