Dear Reader<br />
Welcome to our <strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2016</strong> issue. The year is nearly at an end, to be<br />
rounded off nicely with the festivities of the season. It hardly seems like<br />
five minutes ago that we started <strong>2016</strong>!<br />
As we approach the end of year we are delighted to bring you a plethora<br />
of events and activities happening across the region during the coming<br />
months. As always Santa will be visiting some key venues across the<br />
county – see adverts for details on the following pages.<br />
In our WOW section we have highlighted Christmas activities and events<br />
with symbols of wrapped presents and Christmas trees to help you and<br />
your family get into the festive spirit.<br />
Our regular Box Office section features lots of fantastic seasonal<br />
productions – a trip to the panto at Christmas time is a joy to behold.<br />
Plus we have a couple of great competitions for you to enter on page 20<br />
and 21.<br />
We would like to wish everyone a wonderful time over the festive season<br />
and we look forward to what 2017 will offer us.<br />
With very best wishes<br />
Marion, Anne, Sue, Linda<br />
