The latest edition of the Dobcross Diary April 2012. Please click to download the full edition.

 

The Dobcross Diary was started in 1999 by the Dobcross Village Community (DVC).

It exists to promote and support local clubs, societies, services and facilities and prides itself on being community-led rather than advert driven.

A team of dedicated volunteers deliver paper copies in all weathers to EVERY home in Dobcross (around 900) FREE OF CHARGE.

It is compiled on an entirely voluntary basis.

Production costs are met by kind donations from the villagers and sponsors, with a few (limited) advertising opportunites.

Please contact me if you have any queries.
