Now we are in the dawn of autumn, the National Hunt season will commence once again and half of the Cotswolds will at some point be making a visit to our most famous sporting landmark, Cheltenham Racecourse. In this October edition, we meet the man who is responsible for ensuring that race days happen at Cheltenham and Racing Editor Nigel Aplin, met with Simon Claisse, our Real Life, who is the Clerk of Cheltenham Racecourse. Nigel has also been on the gallops with Ben Pauling, a local National Hunt trainer. I am delighted to welcome our new Property Feature Writer, Amanda MacCaw who is discovering some beautiful, hidden properties in our region. A few of the Cotswold Style team have decided to take up a new fitness routine and have had the opportunity to experience what it takes to become a rower at Gloucester Rowing Club. This enthralling sport has produced many Olympians from our neck of the woods. If you’re off trick-or-treating at the end of the month, Happy Halloween!
