Updated: Sep 11

The September print issue is in production, and to avoid cluttering your mailbox with unnecessary duplicates, I'd like to outline the key differences between the weekly update and the print issue.

This weekly update is usually sent out on a Thursday and lists events in the next 7 days in time for you to plan your weekend and the coming week. However, it also lists New events, which have been discovered since the last weekly update, to help you plan ahead. In contrast, the print issue is distributed around the 15th of each month and lists only the events between that date and the 15th of the following month.

Don't forget, all events and posters are also on our website and in a Facebook photo album. Visit our website www.theweymouthbridge.com or our Facebook page for all the details. Please share this and ask others to subscribe.
