Welcome to our Autumn Edition
Hello, and a warm welcome to your October/November edition of Go Local!
I’m Connie, your new editor, and I’m delighted to be joining a magazine that has been part of our local communities for more than 20 years.
What makes Go Local so special is the communities behind it. From independent businesses and community groups to local events, creatives, charities and the people who make a difference every day, there is so much to celebrate right on our doorstep.
I’m looking forward to getting to know the people behind our local businesses, discovering the stories that might otherwise go unnoticed, and sharing the events, activities and opportunities that bring our communities together. I’m also excited to build on Go Local’s longstanding commitment to celebrating and supporting local life.
So, grab a cuppa, have a browse and see what catches your eye!
And remember, Go Local is your magazine. If you have a local story, event, group or business you think we should feature, I’d love to hear from you.
Happy reading!
Connie and the Go Local Team
