Welcome…
Welcome one and all to the September/October edition of The Bradgate Magazine!
The throes of Autumn – the colours, the weather, the temperature! – will soon be upon us and for many I’m sure, thoughts will start to turn towards Christmas (…if they’ve not already)!
With this in mind we’re delighted to bring you a couple of ‘ho ho ho’-related teasers this issue, courtesy of the Great Central Railway and the Festive Gift Fair (competition tickets also available for this super annual event fyi) but let’s not wish away the next couple of months just yet as these pages look forward to what’s coming up over the next 8 weeks.
By means of a whirlwind summary we’re bringing you news and views on annual shows and open gardens, coffee mornings and movie screenings, walks, talks, plays and pantos, festivals and exhibitions….and that’s not even mentioning my two favourite reveals this issue.
OK, if you must know what they are, my first pertains to what a swimming machine the current Mayor of Charnwood, Cllr Dr Julie Bradshaw MBE, is – who knew! and the second is in regard to community libraries – what a veritable smorgasbord they are of things to do; take Rothley Community Library, they’ve a book club, Lego club, chess club, crafting groups and wait for it….! IT support! I tell you now if their Ideas Committee ever table a warm-blanket-hot-chocolate-toasted-marshmallow club I might be moving in!
Say, talking of hot drinks… why not grab one for yourself, pop your feet up and do enjoy the read!
