Advertise in the Lee & Link’Em News
What is the Lee & Link’Em News?
It is a thrice-yearly newsletter delivered free to the residents, holiday homes & letting properties of Lee and Lincombe villages in North Devon. Visitors can purchase the newsletter (75p per paper issue), and subscribers are sent the newsletter by post (£9 per year, i.e. for 3 issues). It is also available for free download at loveleebay.co.uk, thanks to sponsors.
What is the format of the newsletter?
Usually 16 or 20 printed sides of A4 size monochrome photocopy.
Who writes the content?
The content of the newsletter is supplied to the editors by local residents and members of local teams, clubs, committees, and establishments. Items range from reports from the local sports teams, factual information on bus timetables, to recollections of previous eras in the villages.
How many people read it?
There are approximately 120 residences in Lee and Lincombe that all receive a free copy. Please note that a large minority of these include holiday homes, which extends the readership to many people new to the area. A number of properties are also self-catering apartments and proprietors supply the News for their numerous guests to read. Additionally, the Grampus Inn and the Old Schoolroom Craft Shop sell an annual total of around 200 copies. Readership varies by the season, with most copies sold during the summer months.
How is the newsletter funded?
The newsletter is purely non-profit. All costs are covered by the advertisers and those purchasing the newsletter.
Who advertises in the newsletter?
We currently hold advertisements for local shops, services and classes, and holiday accommodation in Lee and Lincombe.
