Hi everyone, and a big Merry Christmas from everyone here at the Burgh Buzz. As you may be aware, the November issue of the Buzz did not go out as planned. We're sorry about this, but we will return in February, so please do keep your news and community articles coming and keep an eye out for the next issue dropping through your door.
Here’s looking forward to a happy new year, with plenty more to come from the Buzz.
