Fen Edge News Editorial
The Fen Edge News (FEN) accepts articles and event listings from FECA member groups, subject to space. FEN does not normally accept articles from non-members.
Articles, news items, or short term events that don’t meet the publication schedule can be posted on this website and/or on the FECA Facebook page. Please just send your copy to me directly.
The New Year 2026 edition will be distributed at the end of November 2025.
The Copy Deadline is the date by which I must receive copy for it to go into that edition. For the next edition this date is Monday 27 October 2025. I will send out a canvas email to all FECA member groups a couple of weeks earlier (the Canvas Date) and a reminder a few days before the deadline.
| Issue | Issue Title | Covers Period | Canvas Date | Copy Deadline |
| 125 | Spring/Summer 2026 | April-July | Fri 6/2/2026 | Mon 23/02/2026 |
| 124 | New Year 2026 | Dec-Mar | Fri 10/10/2025 | Mon 27/10/2025 |
Please note the following:
• Photos are welcome (300 dpi resolution for print), and will be used as space and quality permits.
• I will edit for language if necessary, and may need to edit for length in order to fit the material to the available space, or I may come back to you if I need help reducing length.
• If I run out of space, articles that arrive last may not make it into the edition, even if they arrive before the copy deadline.
• Material that has appeared elsewhere, such as in another newsletter in the Fen Edge Patch, or is a press release will have a lower publication priority. This means if the edition is over full, such material will be cut, even if received well before the copy deadline.
I am always on the look-out for attractive Fen Edge local photos for the front cover.
To allow a photo to be published:
• It must have the permission of the copyright owner (this will be acknowledged in the edition if the information is provided), this is usually the person who took the photo
• If it includes adults taken in a private location, consent must be given by those adults
• If it includes children (even in a public location), consent of the guardian(s) of those children pictured should be given. If necessary I will obscure details so that individuals are not identifiable.
