Parish Magazine Distributors
Thank you to all those who have offered to take over as new magazine distributors. It is very much appreciated.
We still have one or two rounds that are quite big, and maybe we could spread the load if someone else would like to take on a part of one of these rounds, or else would like to act as a reserve distributor to cover for holidays and illness.
If so, then please let us know. Paul or Mary
