[email protected] A Note from your Editor Welcome to the March issue of the Village Venture! Could Spring be just around the corner? Well the trees, plants and wild- life seem to think so. Our front cover shows a weeping willow in Cammeringham that also thinks its spring and have you noticed some early flowing daffodils and hawthorn hedges (pictures on page 46 and front cover taken during the second week in February). Not to be a “spoil sport” for the children, but lets hope we don’t get a visit from ‘The Beast from the East’ Once again I am happy to introduce you to two more new advertisers this month - for super fast broadband have a look at on and for all those outside cleaning jobs on Your Village Venture magazine continues to grow and this month we have so many contributors this issue has been expanded to 52 pages. With such a wide variety of things to do and see and join, it is hard to imagine how anyone could be bored, even at this time of year. As the editor of your VV, it is very encouraging to see an increasing number of organisations coming forward to advertise and as long as printing costs remain stable, advertising rates will also remain at their current level. On behalf of everyone here at the VV, a special thanks to all those people who have come forward to help deliver the Venture in Burton Village. We really would not be able to do this without you!
