Yes readers, Big Tree Night is where Christmas starts! The Shepperton and District Business Community have been working really hard to make this event truly wonderful for us all. Well done to everyone who has been involved in planning. Make sure you go along and enjoy the evening on December 14th. More details inside.
I do hope that you enjoyed you first issue of Shepperton Matters. Thanks to all of you who sent positive messages of encouragement. This month we are delighted to feature on the front cover the art of one of Shepperton’s long standing residents, and active member of the art movement, Peggy Pickering.
Welcome to the first edition of Shepperton Matters! It is going to be delivered to you every month in the second week, free of charge. I run a similar magazine in Lower Sunbury. It is following the success of Sunbury Matters that I decided to launch this for Shepperton.
I feel very strongly about local life and doing what I can to support local trades and shops. Shepperton Matters is designed as a community magazine, to inform, connect and entertain residents about issues to do with Shepperton and the immediate area.
