BAND Newsletter
BANDNews, our newsletter, is published six times a year, in time for each school holiday and is delivered free of charge to all our member clubs and other childcare providers in and around Bristol. We also send it to local schools, libraries, youth and community centres and City Councillors. The current circulation is 1000 copies.
The newsletter contains sections on local and national childcare news, member clubs news, training, play news and ideas, management and funding, playwork job vacancies, and local and national events and conferences in the fields of childcare and play. Articles for inclusion are welcomed and free advertising space is offered to voluntary agencies for events, jobs etc (space permitting).
