Welcome to the November newsletter. The undoubted highlight of the month was the Gloucestershire Sports Awards promoted by the Gloucestershire Citizen and the Echo. We were delighted to be able to support these awards which were a marvellous occasion and hope that they will continue to go from strength to strength under the banner of these two papers.
As ever please let us have your feedback and I hope that you find this edition both informative and helpful.
