The nights are drawing in, the clocks have changed, the leaves are falling and there's a nip in the air. It must be autumn and that means Christmas isn't far away! The winter issue of the Family Grapevine is hot off the press full of great suggestions for festive outings as well as New Year classes and activities.

Some of you may know that I moved to Somerset three years ago for a new life in the country! My husband and I are running a holiday cottage and wedding venue and it's becoming increasingly difficult to run the Family Grapevine from the wilds of Exmoor. Is there a mum or dad out there who would like to become the next editor? It's a great part-time role that fits perfectly around school hours. There's more information about the position on page 3. Do get in touch if you'd like to know more via an informal chat.

We have THREE great competitions in this issue: Family Tickets for PETER PAN & THE AFTER PARTY at the Brighton Hilton Metropole, a Family Ticket for DRUSILLAS and a CHILDREN'S CLIMBING PARTY at the Triangle, Burgess Hill.

Good Luck!
