The latest edition of Bowburn Interchange (No. 40) was back from the printers on 27th October and will hopefully be delivered soon after, depending on the availability of the volunteer that does your street. (If you'd like to help with deliveries, please say!)This edition is a "banner special", funded by grants received from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Bowburn & Parkhill Community Partnership by the Bowburn Banner Group. There are a lot of photographs of the four banners now at home in Bowburn.
To download a pdf version of this edition (or earlier ones), please go to the “Past Issues” link.
The next edition (No. 41) is planned to be out before Christmas. This will be a “normal” version and news items should be submitted by the middle of November.
