But, if this is successful and well supported, we will repeat the process next year. I really feel that the charities whom we are supporting need as much support as possible, as during the visitor season they are kept particularly busy. Almost there – the Calendar is signed off and will be printed very soon. This will be available at £9.99. All profits will be divided equally between the charities, so please support this. I am hoping that by the time this issue is out, Debbie Ashton, we might also have received the first batch of calendars! Editor The digital version of the calendar can be seen at: go.epublish4me.com/html/charity_calendar/10100043 Ordering Copies can be ordered by email, [email protected] or directly inbox me on Messenger. PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IN COMMENTS on Facebook. Calendars can also be posted if you are not local, so please just supply your address.
