Issue 190 is just about ready, and will hit the streets of Broughton next week once they have been hosed down, cleared of revelling visitors and repopulated with flu-infested locals.
January's copy includes news about retail, domestic and dramatic developments, education, trams (lack of), dates for diaries, a prize pachyderm mystery, snow news, flood, leak and shipping latest, a review of 2010, and innumerable choice titbits of local intelligence.
Publication will be attended by a simultaneous flurry of activity online including another of Aeneas McHaar's 'Unreliable Geographies' and Ali George's guide to what's on in Broughton and beyond during January.
If you have news, views, words or spare time and would like to share them with the Spurtle in 2011, please get in touch. Our first meeting of the year and AGM will be on 12 January (see Events).
