As you read this, September’s print edition of the Spurtle is thundering off the press, being folded in half in a flash, and then cascading into cardboard boxes ready for uplift and distribution to all points Broughton over the next few days.
It’s an action-packed issue this month. We have a statistical blur, prizewinning art, edible psephology and a house that isn’t a garage but then is again but not becoming an office any time soon. We move along swiftly with beak-tweaking tweets, HMOs, Lottery spondoolies and housing plans for an Annandale Street barn. Throw in some bottles of beer, missing benches, bookgroup news, Barony Place, bus stops and more on the Bellevue Crescent unblinking policeman and you have a fairly good idea of what it would feel like to have your head stuck in a Local News Moulinex if the on-button were suddenly pushed down.
Spurtle is available in shops, clubs, eateries and drinkeries, hair salons, newsagents, galleries, libraries and by clicking on the front-page image which appears in the top-right-hand corner of our Homepage here.
Each month, between 30 and 40 people contribute time, legs, gossip, photos, news, words or expertise to the Spurtle. If you’d like to join them, we’d really appreciate your input.
