If you have anything at all for the April 2010 issue of the Dobcross Diary, I will be very pleased to hear from you by the deadline of 19th March 2010. Thank you.

The Dobcross Diary was started in 1999 by the Dobcross Village Community (DVC). Paper copies are printed here in the village and a team of dedicated volunteers deliver them in all weathers to EVERY home in Dobcross (around 900). Production costs are met by kind donations from the villagers and sponsors. Please contact me if you have any queries.
