Do you need to publicise a u3a event or activity? Below are the deadlines (where relevant) for advertising by the various Aughton & Ormskirk u3a publicity methods.

Remember that you are best advised to contact the different editors separately for each of the various publications where you want your advert to appear.  Sending to one editor does not mean that it will automatically appear in the publications of the others.

See the Contacts Page for links to the various Magazine, enews and facebook Editors and to the Web Team (for the Website and the Slideshow).

If you have missed a deadline, then contact the Communications Committee or the Web Team for advice on your next best options. Again see the Contacts Page for the Web Form link to the Communications Committee Chair.
