Bumper September Issues as local schools hold open days

Very excited as the magazines come back from the printers in a couple of days – and they’re bumper September issues! From September through to November is when the local private schools hold their Open Days, so lots of them are promoting this in the magazines as they know they go directly into their target market homes.

I can’t believe it’s September already – what started off as a promising sizzling summer ended up a damp squib instead. Even our longed-for break in France was rained on – so we got in lots of culture but not enough time by the pool!

I’ve got some great new contributors lined up for the magazine and am always interested to hear from locals – so if anyone’s got anything they think might be interesting for the local community do let me know.

I thought that news about the economy slowing down in the US might affect new sales, but the opposite seems to be true. Reminding businesses that locals can only use them if they know about them and that the most cost effective way to do this is to advertise in the magazines is obviously working has I’ve lots of new calls!

Lastly, congratulations to Samantha Hamp at Heavenly Green! Her lovely daughter, Holly, 15, has made it through to the regional finals of a national singing competition – and if she makes it through to the next round she’ll be singing at the O2 Arena! Not bad, says Samantha, as Holly as only ever sung before a live audience once before! Heavenly Green do the most brilliant beauty treatments in Kew (they’re on Kew Green) so if you haven’t been in before do try them out!

Pippa.

July / August editions of Living In Magazines now live

Wow! What a fantastic few weeks it’s been! Though I say so myself, the June issues both looked fabulous, and the combined July/August issues look just as good and should be hitting the streets within the next few days.

Living In Barnes & East Sheen celebrates its 1st birthday this month and I just want to say thanks to all the residents and businesses who have let me know that they love the magazine and support it. It’s always great to have feedback so do let me know what you think of it and how I can improve it. I’m looking forward to growing the content in the coming year, too, and making it even better, using local contributors.

Thank you to everyone who came to The Kew Midsummer Fete – despite the really chilly June day (this is England, after all!) – we had around 5,000 visitors throughout the day and raised more than £5,000 for local charities. All of us on the organising committee are well chuffed and already planning how to make next year’s event even better!

Have a great summer!

Health & Wellbeing special in June's Living In Magazines

The June issue is back from the printers and is hitting the streets in the next day or so. Both Living In Richmond & Kew and Living In Barnes & East Sheen are big issues this month, which is great. If you're keen on health & fitness, check out the articles as this issue is a Health & Wellbeing special, with lots of great businesses advertising their services.

And yes, as June is finally here that means the Kew Midsummer Fete is only a days away! Yikes! So much time and preparation has gone into making this event happen, I can't believe that June 19th is almost here.

Of course all of us on the organising committee are desperately hoping for a sunny day but hey, this is England in June, it could be freezing or sizzling hot! Please do come along, eat some delicious food, buy some lovely treats and listen to some fab entertainment. All in aid of local charities! As well as dashing around making sure things are running smoothly I'll also be on my Living In Magazines stall, with the lovely Debbie doing the face painting (believe me, you don't want it to be me trying to paint your child's face...), so do come and say hello.

See you there!

The latest from Richmond & Kew community magazine - August edition now online

Well, the August issue of Living In Richmond & Kew is hitting the streets as I write. Traditionally there hasn’t been an August issue of the Barnes & East Sheen magazine so the next one for this area will be September.

I’ve continued to get great feedback on Living In Barnes & East Sheen and I’m really looking forward to building this up into as successful a publication as its sister which also continues to grow!

September issue: Both magazines are going to be bumper editions in September – mainly thanks to the Education Special. Lots of top local independent schools are keen to show what they have to offer and will be promoting their Open Days.

Any businesses which are related to education, parenting or childcare in any way should get into this issue, so don’t miss out!

October issue: The autumn is when many brides start planning their summer weddings so in October there will be a Weddings Special section. This was hugely popular back in February (the other top time of the year for wedding planners!) so again, any business who wants to be in this issue please get in touch.

The BBQ summer we were promised hasn’t quite materialised but at least we’re getting a little sun inbetween the constant rain showers… here’s to a more summery August!
