The Beacon Blether

In this (slightly) festive Blether, we hear from Santa ahead of his various appearances at The Beacon, Jim Bryce leads us down memory lane once again in Gorebridge Yesterdays, and Derek has a chat with Gael Robertson, Chair of the Gorebridge Community Council. Plus, we look back on what's been happening and what's coming up at the Beacon and around, including our Winter Festival. Oh, and there's a suitably Christmassy bonus clip of the Gorebridge Community Choir.Email us: beaconblether@gmail.comFacebookInstagram(Please note - our Christmas in the Garden event has been postponed to Sat 14th December.)
