Welcome to September! It’s a bumper issue – we have ALL the Gillingham & Shaftesbury Show results, as well as the local GCSE and A Level results from all the schools (does your child get a mention?).
Plus there’s news of Boris Johnson’s visit to Iwerne Minster this week and a desperate plea to stop Wincanton Sports Ground having to close.
We’ve asked the always-lovely Minette Walters 19 random questions (hint: yes to horror films, no to biscuits and yespleasethankyou to Denzel), and Luke Rake from Kingston Maurward has a brilliant and must-read explainer about why the school exam system feels a bit … rigged.
(you may need to go and make a cup of tea before you dive in. Why not grab a biscuit while you’re there?)
