BRADLEY STOKE MATTERS

The autumn edition of your local community magazine is out from 1st October.  In this edition we are pleased to share with you details of local events and activities that will be sure to spread some seasonal cheer, from Halloween to Fireworks to Christmas Parties, a Festive Illumination Trail and CHSW’s annual ‘Santas on the Run’, there is plenty to look forward to.

We also bring you the results of this year’s Bradley Stoke in Bloom’s Best Front Garden competition, the photos from which have certainly brightened up the page (see pages 6-7).

A local cyclist overcame his own personal cancer challenge to take on one of the toughest cycling challenges across the USA, raising funds for Prostate Cancer UK.  We are pleased to include extracts from his amazing adventure on page 24.  Focusing on local talent, we share news of an incredible young BMX-er (p16) and also a new children’s book by Freddie Hillberg (p8).

We have details of the local Remembrance parades, news from Little Stoke Ladies, an update from our Police Commissioner, some of the local primary school upcoming open days and much more!
