Welcome Within this Magazine:

Hi There, Our magazine is proving to be very popular and has grown considerably this month. We are enjoying working alongside many of Southend’s Businesses and have a potential readership of 40,000. Whilst writing this, the children are on holiday from school again and before we know it, it will be the six weeks holiday!!

We enjoyed the airshow with a nice stroll along the front watching the planes.

Congratulations to Barcelona FC for winning the Champions League final. I would of preferred a British team to win it but sadly for Manchester United it wasn’t to be. Still, on a positive note the English Cricket team have just won the 1st test v Sri Lanka in Fantastic style. Let’s hope that continues throughout the summer tests. On the subject of Cricket, you can read the latest match reports and updates from Essex CCC on page 24.

This month’s recipe is a delicious Strawberry flan which is sponsored by Dab Hand Catering see page 8 . It is simple to make & very nice indeed. We would like to encourage our readers to send us your recipe’s and any pictures to essex.bizz@hotmail.co.uk, or send them to our Office, see our address below.

May Essex secured a draw, part in thanks to the downpour that bought a premature end to the game versus Derbyshire. The run shortage came to a welcome end on Thursday 19th May when Graham Napier hit another worldrecord. This time he notched a world record 16 sixes whilst totalling 19 fours. A batting wicket provided for an entertaining draw however the game will always be remembered for Napes and his six-hitting capabilities!
