Out and About – October 2024

0

We were out and about during September and so were our readers. This month’s Out and About are a good selection of photos from various events. If you have an event this month and can get a high resolution photo/s to us with caption details e.g. full names, titles, details etc before 25 October, then we might be able to find a space for it in Out and About.
