The Editor's Letter
It’s events season! We have lots of upcoming festive events to keep you busy during the colder months! Please do go and support them if you can.
It’s also so-called ‘Spooky Season’ (sorry to sound American). It’s all gone a bit crazy in recent years hasn’t it? I can say hand on heart that when I was a child in the 80’s, Trick or Treating just wasn’t the done thing! We may have had a Halloween fancy dress party here and there but the thing we looked forward to the most was the village bonfire night. Sadly, these are a thing of the past (along with far too many things)! Nowadays, families turn out in droves on Halloween night and Kirton is no exception. I do love the effort some houses and areas put in for the children. I remember one house down Dennis Estate a few years ago that was giving out treats along with hot dogs for the adults!! If you are going out with your children, grandchildren or friends please be mindful of those who feel vulnerable, especially during the evenings or who just don’t want to partake. I would always observe the rule of not knocking on a house that isn’t decorated in some way. Also, what’s the appropriate cut off point? As it will most definitely be dark by 5pm, I think it’s reasonable to say 7.30 – 8pm. And, if it’s not too much to ask kids, remember your manners!
We are still looking for a distributor for Craven Avenue and the bungalows at the top, along Horseshoe Lane. We have 10 issues a year and if you enjoy walking or are wanting to start getting some exercise, we would really appreciate your help. Please email me if you are interested.
We are always on the lookout for more ‘Meet the Locals’ participants! This is a great way to (the list is endless really) Have some one-off free publicity if you are a local business, Promote a club or organisation or Nominate someone locally for doing something thoughtful, heroic, or for being an asset to our community
Don’t forget, our magazine is available to collect from most of the local businesses in Kirton and we thank them for their constant support. If by any chance, you live in Kirton and don’t receive a copy, please let me know! Previous issues are available on our website www.kirtonnews.co.uk together with our advertising rates and useful local contact numbers!
I’m always contactable by email - Editor@kirtonnews.co.uk.
Take care of yourselves and check on your neighbours!
