Welcome

Welcome to our June edition of ‘Wokingham with Henley-On-Thames Local’ magazine, brought to you by Local Area Magazines. I mention Local Area Magazines as we now have a new website at www.localareamagazines.co.uk where the current digital editions of both this magazine and also our sister publication, Windsor & Maidenhead Local can be page turned and read online. What’s more, we are very excited to announce the launch this week of our third publication entitled ‘Cheshire’s Golden Triangle’ which incorporates the Cheshire towns and villages of Wilmslow, Alderley-Edge and Prestbury, and our team ‘up North’ are delighted to follow in the footsteps of our very popular Wokingham Local magazine. We wish them the best of luck!

So, what have we been up to recently, where have we been, and what have we seen? Well, we visited Holme Grange craft village and stopped off to see Gayle at Enchanting Glass Designs who offers bespoke and unique handmade fused glass art, and she also offers courses if you fancy a go yourselves? Our teenage reporter Madison takes us on a trip to York, and I have the enviable job of tasting street food in Istanbul - well someone had to do it! What a ‘must see’ vibrant city it is, I have to say.

We hear from Mel at Melanie Curtis Accountants and the Lazy Frog and Care UK have lots of useful help and advice. For our homes and gardens we have ideas from ClickStyle and Marlow Roller Garage Doors & Awnings with Garden Glory features, and a ‘shout out’ to our loyal regular advertisers, including L&E Leadwork and Roofing Services (on the outside back cover) ,Bombay Story Indian kitchen, Becker Bespoke (where I stopped off for a ‘5 minute’ chat with the delightful Jonathan recently) Safeheat Services, Seekers Travel, the ‘one and only’ Pratts Pods (of Wokingham and Henley-On_Thames) and many more.

So, what’s next? Well, how would you like to be involved in our Summer Special edition? Could you write an article, (just like Holly did with her crowdfunding for Oakley’s training) discuss a ‘5 minute with’ interview or share a recipe maybe, or promote your business even? The only time we turn an offer down is when we are sent press releases as we don’t accept these, due to the fact that these are usually boring! (There I said it!) And, talking of advertisements, did you know that our professional partnered media team and ad agencies will undertake all artwork and design - to your copy approval - completely ‘Free of charge’ - no other local, regional or national magazine can offer this to our exacting standards! What a fantastic statement to end on. So, until the Summer, enjoy the month of June and our Wokingham with Henley-On-Thames Local magazine.
