NORTH KILWORTH NEWS October 2016
KEEPING YOU INFORMED
Gateway to Autumn…………... Will the warmth and sunshine of September continue into October? Weather forecasting has improved so much with the assistance of satellites and computer modelling, but it seems that the most reliable predictions are still only over a few days ahead. When we hear that we may get the worst winter for many years because, for example the holly berries have all been eaten, it rarely works out to be true and the weather is mild and wet, (like last year). Who knows what this winter will bring – but I’ve been told that it will be mild and wet again, so we will see! Thank you to all of you who take the trouble to write in to the Kilworth News. Your news and views are very much appreciated. Sometimes we have plenty of space to accommodate your correspondence, sometimes it is a difficult squeeze. Please can we ask that wherever possible you keep your letters to a maximum word count of about 500 words. We will still try to fit in longer letters, but we may edit down to 500
words in future if we are short of space. Please, please don’t let this put you off writing! The News is there to provide a forum for your views and it’s an empty month when we do not receive any letters.

Half-term and Halloween are also on the
