Staff and awards
I must admit that I feel rather nervous ....
The reason why is that for the first time in many months we could have a full compliment of staff on the Gazette newsdesk this coming Monday morning.
Charlene Mitchell, our Ruislip reporter, is due back from a holiday in Borneo and Dan Coombs will be joining us as a trainee reporter covering the Uxbridge area.
However, past experience has told me not to get too excited as a delayed flight or a bout of illness can easily wreck your best made plans.
But looking on the bright side it will be great to have the newsdesk back up to strength again and I know that my news editor Chris Longhurst will be breathing a huge sigh of relief.
In next week's Gazette and Leader we will once again be launching our Let's Do It Awards sponsored by Barclays Bank.
This is the third year we have run the awards with Barclays and there will be £2,000 available in prize money for local community groups to win to help fund a local project.
In past years these awards have proved highly successful and I am delighted to have once again linked up with Barclays for this community initiative and look forward to the entries rolling in.
Make sure you see a copy of this week's Gazette for details on how your community group can enter and be in with a chance of winning one of the cash prizes.
