Happy New Year!

Dear Readers

How about we all make a resolution to be really positive this year! Aren’t you really tired of the doom and gloom, the incessant talk of recession and repossession? I think we should all start talking it up! We’re certainly happy to pass on some of the positive vibes emitting from Headingley.

Trio Literati is about to celebrate writers in Headingley; Local composer Tim Knight is busy organising the first Handel in Headingley Festival; Headingley Development Trust and Manning Stainton are taking a very positive stance on keeping families in Headingley; and HDT is also very hopeful that the HEART Project will soon get the thumbs up (keep up the pressure on your local councillor to support this superb local initiative).

More good news from the area includes another Classics at the Cottage; Penny Field School winning the People’s Millions (well £50,000!); Opera North opening the Howard Assembly Room with a fantastic celebration programme; and a great offer on web design for our readers and advertisers. And, if you haven’t tried our ‘Lifeline’ service yet, simply text the word ‘INFO’ to 0113 3205433 for details of how to access local services direct to your mobile.

It just remains for us to wish you everything we would wish for ourselves for the coming year – Peace, Happiness, and Prosperity. Think positive!

Happy New Year

Jack, Carole, Kahla and Brendan
