Dear Readers, I can’t believe how many of you have been in touch! You’ve been brilliant with ideas, feedback and telling me how thrilled you are to see The Family Grapevine magazine is back – thankyou. Inside this issue you’ll see even better listings so you’ll know how to find everything from Antenatal support to Out of School clubs, Daycare Nurseries to Drama Classes and so much more. We’ve also got some great giveaways with competitions to win tickets to Longleat Wildlife Safari Park and DVD’s of Elmo’s animal adventures. If you visit our website you’ll see some new things happening there too…. Our events calendar is almost ready as I write, so keep checking www.tfgbath.co.uk if you want inspiration for days out with the kids. You can email me anytime if you have an event you’d like us to publicise on the website calendar or perhaps you’ve a product or service that you want listing in the magazine as well? Both of these are free for you to do and the more people you tell the bigger things become! Please do keep your emails coming and have a fantastic Summer.
