Introduction
Welcome to a festive December edition of Community Times.
Do you really want to fight the Christmas shoppers this year in places like Winchester, Basingstoke, Guildford or Southampton, when there are plenty of excellent and individual shops and establishments locally to get the perfect presents for your friends and family? With an all round better shopping experience and much less hassle it has to be the answer this year and don’t forget if you are really stuck for ideas, you can’t go far wrong with vouchers and they can suit any pocket.
Sunday 2nd December is the Yuletide Festival in Alton and it will be a great day out for all the family so make sure are there - we will be, so come along and say hello. You can find out more information about the Yuletide Festival on page 44.
As well as the usual Local Services, Food & Drink and Home & Garden sections, take a look at the new Health, Fitness & Wellbeing section starting on page 28.
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our readers.
