Publicity

We try to get the club known locally as much as possible. This is some of the ways we do that.

Look out for news of us.


MILLAND NEWS

This is published every two months and contains club news under the title Model Railway Chat-about 350 words.

The publication runs to about 500 copies and is distributed free to all households in the Milland Valley

LIPHOOK COMMUNITY MAGAZINE

From December 2011 edition we hope to have a regular column in this publication which runs to nearly 4000 copies and is distributed free to every household in the parish of Bramshott and Liphook.

LOCAL NEWSPAPERS

We give information on and photographs of club activities, particularly regarding layouts appearing at exhibitions, to the Petersfield Post, Liphook Herald and Midhurst and Petworth Advertiser and occasionally to the Haslemere and District Messenger (a freebie)

LOCAL FREE DELIVERED MAGAZINES

We are starting to use these where we can have a free mention of something we are arranging or attending. They have good distribution and are well designed and printed. Round and About which is distributed from Haslemere to Liphook and all villages in between is one we have used and Petersfield has a similar publication which has a linked magazine and website, which we will try shortly.

NATIONAL MODEL RAILWAY MAGAZINES

We use all the major magazines Club and Exhibition News pages to advertise our Open Day
