GILLINGHAM & SHAFTESBURY GUIDE<br />
Welcome to our <strong>October</strong> <strong>2018</strong> Issue.<br />
Amidst a modern culture where there are so many career opportunities, the likes of which we have<br />
never known including virtual and digital worlds, <strong>Gillingham</strong> School are hosting their Next Steps (pg<br />
6) evening. This is not exclusively for <strong>Gillingham</strong> industries or school children, but for those in the wider community of<br />
North Dorset. If you would like to attend contact the school directly.<br />
Are you charged with organising the Christmas festivities take a look at the Olive Bowl (pg 15) and the Coppleridge (pg<br />
12) both advertising their Christmas Parties, highlighting the fact that Christmas is just round the corner. If you have<br />
an event coming up let us have details early if you wish us to put it in the magazine. If you are joining the above venues<br />
or any parties over the coming season please remember to leave the car at home. Chart Taxis (pg 11) now have several<br />
vehicles including a 6-seater to drive your whole party home.<br />
The Organisers of <strong>Gillingham</strong> Community Christmas Meal will be starting to put together this year’s event so please<br />
start thinking about what you can do to help if you wish to be involved or if you know someone who would benefit;<br />
donations for the meal, presents for the guests, setting up and clearing as well as on the day itself. Details will be on<br />
the facebook page shortly.<br />
Thanks to Steve Hawkins for his image of last year’s Mere Carnival which captures the colour and fun despite the<br />
weather for our front cover. Our cut-off date for events and advertising is the 10th of <strong>October</strong> for the November issue.<br />
Businesses please note that although we try to keep our charges to a minimum, with a large hike in printing costs last<br />
July we will have to put our prices up from January. All advertisers taking out an ongoing package prior to this will keep<br />
their current price indefinitely. Our readership is well over 14,000 and we also publish online https://vale-advertising.<br />
co.uk/gillingham-and-shaftesbury-guides/ where you can see back copies if you missed them. We can offer great<br />
packages to New Businesses and we do not charge for Community or Charitable events.<br />
