Thames Ditton Today

The magazine of the Thames Ditton and Weston Green Residents' Association is a professionally produced, glossy publication 48 pages in length that issues quarterly. It contains news of the area and of activities in which the Association is concerned or supports, information about our local community and informative articles and stories relevant to the area and often to local history volunteered by many sources. 'Thames Ditton Today' carries some paid advertising by local businesses to help defray its costs, is delivered to 4000 households in all of Thames Ditton and Weston Green, and its influential adult readership is estimated at over 7,500.

This version of the magazine online broadens readership still further, as downloadable files subject to authors' and Residents' Association copyright. There is a waiting list for advertisers - please contact our Advertising manager as below. Advertisers may wish to note that for a very small one-time fee you can have your business listed in our searchable business index.

Contributors
Contributors are always welcome. Please send us your news, views, and details of local events for consideration, and proposals for articles you would be prepared to write - preferably by email to the Editor. Letters or extracts from letters may be published or drawn upon; and there is scope for a one-page rant every now and again, couched in civilised and good-humoured terms (and not illegal!). Deadlines are four weeks before the target publication dates of 7 March, 7 June, 14 September and 7 December.

Photographs: amateur and professional photographers are very much encouraged to propose photos, particularly photos suitable for the cover (A5 format at 300 dpi, RGB or CMYK colour, scope for title and footer). Articles submitted should ideally contain a suitable image also - in some circumstances we can send a photographer. Please email images to the Editor. The final cover choice, which may depend on its relevance to contents inside the magazine, theme, or season of the year, is made by our designer Guy Holman from the Editor's selection.

Advertisers
Please give Verity a call to discuss rates for full page, half page and quarter page advertising in the magazine.
