With so much uncertainty at the moment due to the coronavirus, there is a high possibility that some of the events and classes mentioned in our April issue may not go ahead, so please do check before attending. The Brighton Marathon has already been postponed until September. We still have all our usual articles for you. Our featured local person is illustrator Ella Morris and we have an update on the council’s plans for Black Rock. Let’s hope for some bright weather so that if everything else is cancelled we can at least get out for a walk!
