WHAT’S HAPPENING News Edited by Sarah Coxson
Because we go to press a month before publication date there are occasionally announcements made after copy date about things which will have passed by the time the next issue is published. If you have urgent news about something happening in the current month, we have a Facebook Page at
www.facebook.com/frootsmag where you can post it.
