They can also be read in full on each magazine’s website where there is an optional advertiser’s directory which can list your business and pro-vide a link to your own website (£30 per year ).

How many people will see my advert each month? There are 10,500 copies of each magazine printed and of these 90% are delivered to homes.

Where do you deliver to? The Forest Edge is delivered to Kingswood and Staple Hill in a 2-month rota of 19,000 homes. The Boundary is delivered to most of Chipping Sodbury , Little Sodbury. Dodington, Horton and Nibley every month. There is a 2-month rota for Yate and villages which includes Iron Acton, Rangeworthy, Latteridge, Westerleigh and Wapley.
