Incidentally, my latest newsletter includes the Christmas-Lights Switch-on:
"Good Evening.
In this week's newsletter, we have information on:
Christmas Lights Switch-on - this coming Saturday, the 26th. of November.
Help 4 Heroes fund-raising 3 peak run.
======================================
Dover Town Council have worked long and hard to bring you a great Christmas-Lights, Switch-On Day.
It is this coming Saturday, the 26th. starting at Mid-day, with switch-on at 5.30pm.
There will be all sorts of events and celebrations during the day, including real, live, reindeer.
Please see the poster below, but for listings of what's gong on and when. Pick up a leaflet from many local businesses and of course the Town Council offices.
Inside the leaflet is a survey the Town Council would like you to complete. It will be of great value to them if you are able to complete it as it will give them a greater idea of what you - the people of Dover, would like them to work on.
Have a great Saturday - and don't forget the survey.
========================================
Paul Isles, who, along with Dave Little, produce the Dover Life quality magazine - hopefully you will have seen and read it over the last couple of years.
Paul is going to take part in the 3 Peaks Challenge in the summer of 2012; he would like you to help him raise money for Help 4 Heroes - here is Paul's letter.
"Good afternoon to you all, and thank you for taking the time to read this email.
In June 2012 I will be taking part in the National Three Peaks Challenge to raise funds for Help for Heroes; my son has recently joined the Royal Navy as an Officer Cadet whilst Dave's son is already serving and I have a number of friends and acquaintances whose children are serving in the Armed Forces.
Despite being well over 40 and slightly overweight I will be climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in a 24 hour period across 30th June/1st July (which also happens to be Armed Forces Weekend), the expedition being organised by Evolution Outdoors Ltd. Every penny raised will go to H4H - I'm hoping to raise at least £2,500 so anything you can afford to give will be greatly received and appreciated, not just by me but also by our servicemen and women for whom H4H represents a return to some degree of normality.
I am hoping that you will be able to support me in one of two ways. Firstly, by donating (please visit my webpage:
http://www.bmycharity.com/Islesy - again, this page is hosted by H4H so every penny will go to the charity and not get lost in admin fees) and/or secondly, by spreading the word amongst your friends and colleagues (if you can help with fundraising please let me know, every penny raised is welcome). If you'd like to arrange corporate sponsorship I'm more than happy to carry logos, banners etc and will arrange for photographs to be taken and distributed.
I realise that many of you will receive emails such as this regularly, so thank you for your time and any support you can offer in advance.
Kind regards
Paul Isles"
