thefamilygrapevine Winter 2009 Hello, and welcome to The Chichester Family Grapevine! This is our first edition under our new title; many of you will remember us as The Big Family Directory, so I must start by saying a huge thank you to Allison Thorpe for the smooth transition and invaluable help and advice that she has given me in my new role as Editor. My name is Hailey, and I am Mummy to EmmaGrace, my 2 1/2 year old daughter, who ‘kindly’ posed for the cover of this issue, cue proud Mummy moment... I’ve always found The Family Grapevine the most helpful resource looking for entertaining activities, so I am thrilled to now be working with the group! We have had a fun-filled Summer, with trips away to see family, and a creditcrunching camping holiday all thrown in. Now here we are, winter is well on its way with the evenings darker and the temperature dropping, and we are counting down the weeks until Christmas! How quickly it seems to come around every year... I am really looking forward to getting wrapped up warm and checking out all the local events and activities in our Winter Wonders section. I’d like to thank all our advertisers, who support this publication and enable us to provide valuable information to local families. Please mention The Family Grapevine when contacting any of the businesses or groups featured in this magazine. Finally, I’d like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Look out for our great competitions in this issue, and make sure you pick up next season’s copy from March 1st 2010.
