Memorable evening
I have just finished reading and checking our four page special on last week's Local Heroes Awards gala evening.
It's an impressive spread for this week's Gazette and really captures what was a memorable evening - one of the best yet in the six years of the Local Heroes Awards, which we run with Uxbridge College.
There were plenty of tears and cheers on the night and one could not have failed to have been touched by the tremendous stories of all the nominated finalists who attented the evening.
What really touched me was that not one of these people actually saw themselves as a 'hero' despite the many tremendous feats they had achieved. It was an evening that made me feel very humble.
Don't miss the coverage in this week's Gazette as there are some truly outstanding stories to read.
The rest of this week's paper is coming together and again we look to have some strong front page stories for all the editions.
I will be leaving the checking of Gazette pages tomorrow in the capable hands of others as I am off to Birmingham in the morning for an Editors' Forum, with the agenda looking like it will make for an interesting day.
