Guidance

If you would like to send us an article for inclusion in our newsletter, then please follow this guidance:

Title

• Please provide a short title for the article.
• The title should be kept to 45 characters or less.

Text

• Send the text in the body of the email or as a Word attachment.  Not as a PDF file.
• The text should be a maximum of 180 words.
• The newsletter will be sent by CRA, so avoid using “I” or “We” in the wording.
• Make sure that you provide contact information if appropriate.

Image

• Provide a single image in a standard format to accompany the article, such as jpg, png or gif.
• Images should be less than 1MB in size.
• Images must not be copyrighted or otherwise restricted in usage.
• Where individuals, particularly children, are identifiable in an image then their permission for its use in the newsletter must have been obtained and recorded by you.

Links

• Provide webpage links (URLs) to content that you wish to reference, e.g. to your own website. Copy the link directly from the actual website that you want to reference.
• Note: our email newsletter cannot include attachments.

Editorial

• The CRA newsletter is not intended for a business to advertise their activities other than in limited circumstances (see below).  Consider instead placing an advert in The Chorleywood Resident our printed magazine delivered to all residents in Chorleywood twice each year.
• We may agree to include a news item about a business, e.g. when there is a charitable undertaking, or a newly opened business that will be of benefit to Chorleywood Residents
• We aim to avoid repeating articles and topics in multiple editions unless there is something new to say
• Although we will endeavour to provide by return a final draft of articles before the newsletter is issued, this cannot be guaranteed
• In all cases the decision to include or exclude an article, and any edits to it, are solely made by CRA
