groups involved on the evening - a host of volunteers giving up their time<br />
to raise funds.<br />

entertaining! So if you haven’t been to one yet, this is your last chance<br />
to get tickets! Check our ‘What’s On’ listings for details of all these local<br />
events - there’s plenty going on for all tastes.<br />

will be the last one for <strong>2015</strong>. So if you want to be in the magazine, please<br />
get in touch well ahead of the deadline date of Friday 13th <strong>November</strong>.<br />
