Hello! Welcome to the October edition.

What a brilliant time was had by all at the Alvanley Cricket Club Ball last Saturday evening. Thank you to the very talented Suzanne from Headlines Hair Design for my fabulous ‘Hair Up Doo’ and lovely nails by Charlie at Serenity. The marquee looked stunning, which included beautiful floral arrangements from Acer Florist. The meal, band, and disco were all fab and it was a great chance to catch up with lots of friends and lovely to see so many people from the village there as well. Many thanks to the new organisers for resurecting this fab event after a six year break, we look forward to there being another one - hopefully next year!

I’d like to welcome Karen Horsley from Helsby as our new resident poet. Following a change in circumstances due to ill health, Karen began writing poetry (only) in January and was astounded when her work was published in anthologies. Karen has gone on to have her own collection of poems published and she is now working on her second book. We are both looking forward to sharing her beautiful poems with you over the comming months. (Centre pages).

David Edwards, another local resident, has provided us with a brilliant short story ‘The Woodcutter’s Daughter’, which as usual has a very clever and unexpected ending. David has also publised two books that are available on Kindle and is currently working on his third.

Incredible local talent that we have! Thanks to you both for sharing your work.

Have a great month,

Best Wishes
