Editors Noticeboard Dear Reader The cold weather is definitely taking its toll on my family this winter. Runny noses, coughs, high temperatures – you name it, we have it in our household and we can’t shake it. With Spring around the corner, thankfully there is light at the end of the tunnel, hopefully bringing some warmer days and nights! We have prepared a great issue for you this month. Local writer, Hannah Gamble writes about a common issue faced by many parents – fussy eating! (p 6). On the market for a new home? We have some helpful tips when Buying at Auction (p 10). If you have a new or an established business, don’t miss Networking Tips (p 12) with ways to help increase your business. With the cold weather still hanging around, we look at some ideas to get you and your children excited about indoor play, in Indoor Play Inspiration (p 18). We also have a FREE pass for two to give away to the National 4x4 Outdoors Show and Fishing & Boating Expo held on August 22–24. Be quick, competition closes on 17 August. Turn to page 15 for more information on how to enter. Please remember to support our wonderful advertisers and shop locally, who make it possible for this magazine to be free for families in our local community. We hope you enjoy this issue. Until next time...
Angela Erle, Editor
