Welcome to Wilmslow & Alderley Edge

Welcome to the July / August issue of SK Wilmslow & Alderley Edge. This month we have a jam-packed issue full of great articles and plenty of events to help you enjoy the outdoors.

Jules is back with a must read for cyclist with the benefits of Pilates, for both the elite riders and those who just like to keep active. Wellbeing Pilates Page 34.

We also are covering Corporation Tax, British Sewing Bee, Golden moments, summer recipes and much, much more.

Why not grab an ice cream and enjoy the read.

Cheers Simon
