Welcome to the March 2018 issue of CR5
Magazine.
I hope you all had a nice February. It
was a very wet and cold month - but
hopefully now we can look forward to a
brighter spring.
The month of March brings Mothers Day
on 11th (see pages 78/79), St Patrick’s
Day on 17th and Easter weekend starting
Good Friday 30th March.
If you are planning any new projects in
your home this year, please do take a
look at the wealth of advertisers in the
CR5 Magazine. The handy index is on
page 98 for your convenience.
CR5 Magazine is brought to you by a
local publisher giving you access to a
huge selection of local businesses along
with a wealth of local information on the
Community Pages (p90-97).
