It originated as a harvest festival.’ Its practices include expressing gratitude, sharing, giving Countryside 12 away and (occasionally) even forgiving the turkey. Home & Garden 18 October is the month of harvest suppers, usually in the Churches and Women’s Institutes. This month, by an accident of timing, we are celebrating 10 years of Local History 20 publication with this our 100th edition. A good time for thanksgiving to the many Learning & Libraries 22 people who’ve worked with us along this journey. Reflections 24 Thank you to our loyal reporters Margaret and Chris who reflect on their 10 years reporting for us on page 24. Without their tireless reporting and hours spent in Councils 26 interviews for our Profile section, there would be no Ripples. Nor would we be Sport 28 here without the army of contributors and readers for whom the magazine exists. Letters 30 For much of our history, Debbie worked the telesales phone for us. Zena, whom we know through the Fairford & Lechlade Business Club, is now the voice of Arts 32 Ripples sales. Special thanks to our advertisers who renew their orders enthusiastically, for without advertising, there really would be no Ripples.
