Hello Residents Welcome to the March Issue of The Dell Directory. I was just walking the children to school this morning in the lovely sunshine and thinking that it won’t be long now until the nights are lighter and the clocks will move forward. With more daylight hours we will all be able to get out in the evenings whether it be going for a nice walk or spending sometime in the garden. I know there are some lovely walks in the area so if you would like to share them with us please get in touch. Take a look at the What’s On and Clubs and Classes pages I’m sure you’ll find lots of exciting things to do or places to visit. Mothers Day is on Sunday 18th March so if you would like to treat your Mum take a trip to The Botanic Gardens where you can treat her to a special ’Mother’s Day Lunch’, further information can be found on page 22. Eileen Henderson from the Local History Society has kindly shared with us and article on ‘The 1890 International Exhibition’ an exhibition designed to display the great technological achievements of Victorian Britain, see page 30. Thank you for reading The Dell Directory and supporting local business. Best wishes.
