GILLINGHAM & SHAFTESBURY GUIDE<br />
Welcome to our <strong>August</strong> <strong>2020</strong> Issue.<br />
Well that has been a few months we would all rather not repeat. In some ways it has been<br />
lovely working through the home ‘to do’ list. I think we all now want to get back to normal<br />
living. It is important at this me that we support our local businesses. They are owned and run by friends and<br />
family members who put a lot into our towns and community so now lets support them.<br />
Please note this month’s magazine is very small. We are running it to support those who are already open. We<br />
hope in the coming months to grow back to a larger magazine and be able to run all our regular features, quizzes<br />
and recipes, but for the moment these have been dropped along with the what’s on page and the groups and<br />
sociees page. We hope these will appear again soon<br />
During lockdown I have spent a good few hours taking myself into the world of ficon where life seems a lile<br />
beer so we are hoping to bring you reviews from local authors who have launched books over the last few<br />
months. We start (pg 10) with Della Galton’s latest novel ‘Sunshine over Bluebell Cliff’. Many of you will<br />
recognise Della from her courses that she adverses here. This is well worth a read and will certainly put a smile<br />
on your face. Della has kindly donated a free copy for the compeon on that page.<br />
Thanks to Steve Hawkins of Focal Thingy (pg15) for his summery front cover photo. Just the thing to cheer us<br />
all up. Please note we are currently planning to deliver the September issue as normal and the deadline will be<br />
<strong>August</strong> 10th. This is subject to the situaon connuing to ease and no second spike.<br />
Businesses note we do excellent rates for packages It appears at the me of wring that we are the only media<br />
to be delivered free of charge to potenal clients so do get in contact if we can help you. You can find back issues<br />
