When it comes to the fast changing world of local and national events, it’s business as usual in the forthcoming October issue of the Broughton Spurtle.
We have post-Referendum reflections, ominous misgivings, a timely piece on quiet and a photographic salute to rogue millinery on page 1. Big ears, books, boutique hotels and novelty ping pong bats follow, as do traffic news, Tesco traumas and The Mysterious Hoot of Mansfield Place. Developers, loiterers, flytippers and other rascally types mingle with police, tits, manhole covers and expanding rears on pages 2–4, not to mention public consultations, choirs, DIY, and sundry chances to improve your understanding of books, history and architecture. Oh yes, and there's a sprinkle of immigration. A dash of Quakers. And a shameless attempt to part our beloved readers from their money.
Following another increase in the print run, even more copies of the Spurtle will be available in clubs, cafés, pubs, galleries, libraries, newsagents, bicycle shops, and discerning independents of all kinds the length and breadth of Greater Broughton from early next week.
Alternatively, you can download a colour pdf from our Homepage first thing on Wednesday morning.
And one more thing ... We always welcome new voices, snippets of news, points of view, arms, legs and levels of literacy. You can contact us at spurtle@hotmail.co.uk and @theSpurtle and Broughton Spurtle
