Front Cover
The cover photo this month shows one of the stars that
appear every December on St Mary’s church tower. It
was taken by Barry Priest.
We are always looking for photos, images, drawings and
paintings to use on the front cover so please keep send-
ing them in. Please note that photos should ideally be in
portrait format and should be a
minimum
of 2400 x
1700 pixels. More is better!

January 2018
As ever, it feels slightly odd preparing the January edition of the Roundabout so soon after the December edition
has been distributed, and before Christmas to boot!
I want to add my thanks to those of others to the team that organised the Christmas light switch on and market that
took place on Advent Sunday. After the early rainfall, the weather improved and stayed dry. I thought it was a fan-
tastic afternoon, and the busiest I remember seeing it! Thanks to all the local businesses, organisations, clubs, socie-
ties and hostelries that took part. The target for next year should be a larger cracker pull!
Thank you for being with us over the last 12 months. We look forward to another great year and are aiming to make
the Roundabout better than ever.
WE wish all our readers, contributors, advertisers and distributors
a wonderful New Year!
Please remember to visit the Roundabout website. There are often articles there that we could not fit into the print
edition, as well as information that arrives during the month:
