Dear Reader, Many thanks to all who have sent in material. Copy date for KM97 is 15th January 2008. Please write up local news, views and reports of events and send them to Kirkstall Matters. I hope to meet some of you at the next KVCA meeting on 4th Oct at the usual time, 8pm. There is a special KVCA meeting on 1st Nov starting at 7.30pm at the Milford Sports Club (see page 21). Do come along to this meeting - all are welcome. It is with sadness, and a smile, that we have re-used 15 of Doug’s cartoons (see page10) in this issue. We need help with the magazine and new ideas. Please contact John Liversedge if you can help.
