[email protected] SUGO at The Lamb & Flag 30 The Tything Worcester WR1 1JL f. t. i. Hi and welcome to the December/January issue of Slap Magazine. This edition marks the completion of our 8th year in publication; simply unbelievable - where the time has gone?! A massive thank you, as always, to all the good folk who give up their precious spare time to help with Slap each month. Whether it’s contributing, editing, photography or delivering magazines around the region, without you this publication would be nothing. Dec/Jan ‘19 I have to add, by the way, that we rely on advertising to help produce Slap each month and all too often this year we have failed to break even on various issues, including this SLAP MAGAZINE one. Are the years of austerity finally catching up with us? Is Unit 3a, Lowesmoor Wharf, it the uncertainty over our future as a nation after Brexit? Worcester WR1 2RS Either way, much head scratching is required during the Telephone: 01905 26660 festive break if we are to go into the new year with
[email protected] confidence. EDITORIAL On a more positive note, the end of January marks Mark Hogan - Editor ‘Independent Venue Week’ and in this issue we bring you Kate Cox - Arts Editor news of recent additions to the venue circuit.
