Thank you!
Is probably a good start for anyone reading this mini guide.
This is a guide to the new format in which I am looking to get the magazine delivered quickly and efficiently.
The magazine enjoys great support from the Parish in its distribution and is very grateful for the support.
Having done all the rounds myself at some point I am aware of how long each takes and the peculiarities of some houses in the parish.
This guide aims to break the delivery up into 1 to 1.5 hour rounds and then describe / log the peculiarities of each round.
If while doing a round you think of more things to add that might aid a fellow deliverer next time then please let me know.
So thanks again for you support.
Regards
Richard Wray
See the map on the next page
Starting at Grange Lane (1) go up the lane a deliver to the five houses there.
Drive up Station Road and pass the shop on your right. 300M on your left is the first house (2) on Station Rd to deliver to. Next is the old station house (3) then finally Fatlands Farm (4).
Turn right at the cross roads and go up to Spring Farm (Tank driving centre) (5) and turnaround in their driveway.
Next will be two farm bungalows on your right at (6). Followed shortly on your right by Redlands (7).
Over the crossroads and the bridge, next is Manorview (8). Almost directly opposite is a long driveway down to (9). Here there are a number of large dogs so I advise you drop the magazine in the box that is near the top of the driveway.
Returning to the Welsh lane, next is the Plentiful Pots farm shop.(10)
Further down on your right are two collections of houses. At (11) there are first a row of three houses and then set behind these is another cottage.
At (12) there are two houses to the left and a house and a flat above the garage on the right. Might not be possible to deliver to the flat because of dogs again.

Last house on the Welsh lane is Warren Farm (13). Another long driveway.
Now return to Helmdon taking the Fulcutt turning. At (14) there are three houses to deliver to.
At 15 there is a house on the left at the entrance to the driveway. Next is a house that is most of the way down the driveway situated on the left.
At the end of the driveway is a collection of barn conversions. Turning around and returning to Helmdon you may spot a house up to the left.
This is part of the Astwell track round and is not accessed from this driveway.
As the road bends around the Churchyard you will see Manor farm (16) in front of you.
Next is Kiln Farm (17) which is a drive out of the village again along the
Wappenham road. Take the second driveway (not the farm entrance), which goes down to the farmhouse.
Return back to Helmdon and go past the War Memorial and head towards the wood yard. At (18) is Hill House on your right, shortly followed by two cottages on your left that back onto the wood yard (19). The last house on this road is a little further up on your left (20).
The last house is Peters Farm (21) on the Sulgrave road.
Please return any excess copies you have back to me at 2A Station Road.
Thank You!
