Have you ever wondered how the 'Broadgate and District News' gets to land on your doormat?
Why not come along when our production team is in full swing?
At the moment BRAG is looking for new people to join it's highly skilled team of newsletter folders.
This dedicated group meets in St Stephen's Church, Bird St to fold, staple and sort that month's edition of 'The Broadgate and District News'.
Now we're announcing a unique opportunity to join this elite band of community-spirited individuals.
People who come along will be subjected to a rigorous selection procedure, and then given intensive training in the art of folding. Truly promising candidates may even, in exceptional circumstances, get to use the stapler.
Once the newsletter has been printed, folded, stapled and sorted it is delivered across Broadgate by volunteers.
The whole process is fueled by free cakes and brews, courtesy of KM Grocers (on Taylor St).
It's also a unique chance to catch up on local gossip - for instance, tonight I learned that the Ribbleside on the corner of Broadgate and Taylor St may soon re-open - as an Indian Restaurant.
Future folding sessions happen at 7pm on August 20th, September 17th, October 1st and November 5th (we're going to have fun that bonfire night!)
If you prefer listening to the latest news and views on Broadgate and District issues to folding and stapling, come along to the BRAG/PACT meetings, every first wednesday of the month at 6.30pm.
Forthcoming meetings are on:
August 6th, at BAC Club, South Meadow Lane
September 3rd, Empire Club, Hartington Road and
October 1st, BAC Club, South Meadow Lane
Hope to see you there!

Great Blog! Shame I don't live in Broadgate! I live just across Marsh Lane with my son. I want to form a 'Friends of Euston Street Play Area' group. Could you spread the word? No experience but a will to make this space great for our kids. Thanks Lisa
