From next month Bits and Bobs Magazines are changing! After 21 years of helping you all sell your unwanted items or buy a local bargain we are growing to become your handy ‘go to’ publication for finding What’s On, where to eat and drink and where to find a local tradesman or business, together with up to date information from Braintree District Council. We will also have a brand new website so you can now not only add your items for sale but also if your group or sports/social club wish to publicise your events and activities these too can also be included on our web pages!
And all of this will be under our new name, Within Reach
We know that many of you have known and liked Bits and Bobs for years and we hope that you like the changes we are making!!
