OUR in-paper Postbag section always gets the community talking – so don’t hold back when it comes to sharing your views, comments and thoughts!

We are inviting you to write to us about anything you want to talk about. It can be about local, national or international matters; issues relating to the world of sport and entertainment; things that really make you angry; your light-hearted ramblings; or simply what your favourite TV programme is at the moment.

Whatever you want to write about – we want to hear about it.

What’s more, we will be looking to publish a Star Letter of the Week – no prize, we hasten to add, just the glory!

We want to see our Postbag groan under the weight of correspondence. We want our e-mail inbox crammed to overflowing; our fax machine creeking with incoming mail and our postman to be kept very busy with your letters.

You can get your contributions for Postbag to us in several ways.

Write to us at Postbag, Chard and Ilminster News, 3a Fore Street, Chard, Somerset TA20 1PH.

E-mail us at newsdesk@chardandilminsternews.co.uk n Fax us on 01460-238188.

Please ensure you include your name, address and daytime telephone number.
