It will be all right on the night
We are now only a week away from the Gazette Local Heroes Awards gala evening and a large part of yesterday was spent making sure everything is on course for what promises to be a great night.
It's without doubt one of the highlights of the year for the Gazette and is always a memorable evening when the unsung heroes of the borough are honoured for some amazing achievements in all walks of life.
The most important thing about the preperations is making sure that all the winners attend on the night. Although I know who the overall winners are this is a closely guarded secret between the judges until the actual awards on the night.
All the shortlisted finalists are invited so yesterday was spent checking they had all replied and confirmed their attendance - so far it's looking good for a full house on the evening.
I have to say I am looking forward to the evening and in next week's Gazette we will be profiling all the shortlisted finalists in the various categories in a special feature on the Local Heroes 2006 event.
All in all it was a busy day yesterday as we also started to look at some new content ideas for the Gazette in the coming months. These are all based around making your local paper an even better read and I will keep you updated on progress over the coming weeks.
PS: If this awful weather - it's currently blowing a gale and lashing down with rain outside - is leaving you craving foreign parts then this week's Gazette has a four-page guide to reader holidays in the UK, Europe and further afield. I am already looking at them with envy and they look jolly good value too. You can also check them out on http://www.travel-tms.co.uk
