THE ECCLESHALL GUIDE

For the past 26 years I have been producing the 80 page Eccleshall Guide.

5000 copies are now produced each year and it is printed at the Creative Copy n Print on Raleigh Hall Industrial Estate.

It is supported by the advertisers which enables us to distribute it free of charge to many of the homes in the area.

It is also available from the businesses in the town and elsewhere.

ECCLESHALL FESTIVAL

With the loyal support of a band of volunteers we produce the Festival every other year with a street market on the Saturday and various attractions in the week.

I have been involved in one way or another with the festival for 12 years and am currently the Coordinator.


ECCLESHALL BUSINESS FOCUS GROUP

I was a founder member of the EBFG during my time as the town’s newsagent and have supported the group since my retirement by arranging the window display competitions in the summer and at Christmas.
