Welcome to the October issue of the Ackworth Arrow
And just like that, it s Autumn! Well, summer has been a blast, I hope everyone had a great one. We have lots of things to look forward to as the nights draw in, with the half term break at the end of the month and Hallow een.
I hope everyone has the opportunity to run, walk or cycle around our villages and enjoy nature changing the colour scheme once again. Take care everyone.
The November issue deadline for adverts and content is Wednesday 18th October. The Arrow will be delivered by 1st November.
Best wishes
