Welcome…
Welcome to the September/October edition of The Bradgate Magazine…
…and can someone please tell us how on earth we are this far through the year already! Time flies when you’re having fun is what they say of course but even so, September is here, which means Christmas is just around the corner, then 2026 and then we’re off to 2030 before you know it!
But woah, let’s slow down and not wish away the days, weeks, months and years just yet. There are still some exciting things to look forward to – take the fantastic Loughborough Town Hall, with their autumn calendar packed full of comedy, music, drama and dance…what’s not to love; there’s even panto on the way! Plus everyone’s favourite fete – the Swithland Show is back – been growing your marrows?
Well get ‘em ready for the judges, pronto! Some very interesting talks are on the cards as well – with the Charnwood section of the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust always offering something of value; in September for example they dig into the making of BBC’s Springwatch with a ‘greening of golf’ exposition to follow in October.
If movies are more your thing, Thurcaston & Cropston Parish Council have you got you covered, and for just £5 a ticket at that – unbelievably good value compared to multiplexes these days – what’s more they’re showing Dirty Dancing on the 12th September…need we say more!
Anyway, with the late, great Patrick Swayze firmly in mind we’re going to twirl off and leave you to your read!
All the best,
Jo
