Congratulations on the 100th edition of 'Hunstanton Town & Around' from TEL: 01485 525206
us all at the Rotary Club of Hunstanton & District.
Elaine Bird delighted us with a talk recently at Rotary on the ALSO HOUSE/SHED/GARAGE CLEARANCE
development of the magazine. The magazine started in 2005 following
the Hunstanton Newsletter. Advertisers quickly came forward giving good We can clear your unwanted items cheaper than a skip
support, and the demand for the magazine soon increased. The magazine Unwanted items taken away
now covers a wide geographical area. Elaine commented on the good I CAN HELP YOU WITH YOUR OWN LIGHT REMOVALS
support given by Rotary. TEL: 01485 525206
The magazine's main aims are to give local information to people as to
what is happening in the area and to give people an opportunity to have a
say. Rotarians were unanimous in their praise and congratulated Elaine
for the high standard achieved. Much interest is shown in the town and BOAT HOUSE CAFÉ
district, with the magazine being a local lifeline to many.
With our partners we recently had an evening meeting at the
Rendezvous Restaurant on the High Street in Hunstanton when we had a Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks,
