West Cumbria Guide issue 5 Aug/Sept

Thank you, Thank You, Thank You. It’s 10 years since our first ever edition hit the counters of Cumbria.

We have come along way since then and have interviewed and featured hundreds of local artists and musos, alongside plenty of international big-hitters.

Our recipes have delighted thousands and our ‘What’s On’ guide has kept everyone up to date, weeks in advance ensuring bums on seats.

Of course, all of this with a backdrop continually highlighting the areas where we live and that we love. Every two months, as well as looking forward to what’s coming up in West Cumbria, we have never forgotten about the region’s rich and fascinating history.

We have grown a great deal and all of this is down to the trust our local business community has bestowed upon us and of course, our a lovely readers, just like you, who have supported our customers/advertisers over the past 10 years.

To think that a simple idea mixed with a helping of enthusiasm and a sprinkling of passion, served up with pure joy and love could do anything but fail, especially when you have such a dedicated and brilliant team around you. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Steffany, Sarah, Mike, Paul and Aiden and always in our thoughts, Father Bri.

For those who don’t know, the driving force and foundation for The Guide was to highlight the best of the west, showcase local artists and venues and give our local business community a competitive advertising platform to succeed.

I think we’ve done alright, even with the odd typo here and there 🙂

Peace, Love and Hugs.
