Share a free Valentine's Day message in the Rutland and Stamford Mercury's February 14 issue

It’s that time of year again – time for love, romance and telling your special someone how wonderful they are in the pages of the Mercury.

Every year, we give readers the chance to send a free Valentine’s Day message to their loved one.

Messages will appear in the newspaper on the special day itself, Friday, February 14.

It’s easy to send one in - just fill in the form below.

Alternatively, write your message, name, contact number and email address on a postcard and send it to: Valentine’s Day Messages, Rutland & Stamford Mercury, Cherryholt Road, Stamford, Lincs, PE9 2EP, or drop into the box in our foyer.

Start your message with the name of the recipient, followed by a colon and then your message. For example: Anniston, Jennifer: Let’s give things another go! I love you lots. Brad Pitt xxx

Messages should be a maximum of 20 words and the editor reserves the right to exclude unsuitable messages. The deadline for messages is 10pm on Tuesday, February 11.

Messages received after the deadline will not be published and we cannot be held responsible for lost messages.

You can also place an even more special message with our family announcement team for only £5. Contact the team on 01780 484830 or e-mail: bmd@iliffepublishing.co.uk
