Four Marks News is a volunteer run monthly magazine. The support the magazine receives from the advertisers who pay to appear in the magazine, enables us to provide donations to local causes and groups.
The cover price of 50p has been unchanged since 2003 and, thanks to the support received from advertisers and the 500+ readers each month, profits continue to accrue. These, plus profits from sale of the Walks Book, are used for the benefit of villagers. Here are a few things Four Marks News has recently provided funds towards:
Donation to complete funding of Clive Hawkins memorial bench
