Editors Noticeboard Dear Reader The Spring Racing Carnival comes to a close in November. Hopefully you have had the opportunity to enjoy one of the many fantastic racing events held all over Melbourne the past couple of months. If you haven’t had the chance, there are plenty more events in November including ‘The Race That Stops a Nation’, the Melbourne Cup and the popular ‘ladies day’, Oaks Day. It’s a great excuse to get dressed up and do something for yourself without the kids in tow. In this month’s issue we have some great reading for you. We have a guide for parents on how to survive the stress that comes with Christmas, we look at the benefits of playgroup for families and we have some creative tips when it comes to toilet training your child. Plus lots more! We would like to thank Wriggle It Indoor Playcentre & Cafe, for supplying us with a 5 Pass Entry Voucher to their fantastic playcentre to give away, in this month’s Kids Corner – Christmas colouring in competition. Get colouring and send in your entries before the competition closes on Wednesday 20 November. For more information and competition details turn to page 28. Please remember to support your local business community and shop locally. We hope you enjoy this issue. Until next time...
