Where do I start?
What a rollercoaster of a month it has been at GBG!

So much is happening that, to be honest, I am amazed we finally got the magazine to the printers. The team at GBG is really buoyed by the compliments that have recently been flooding in for the magazine. Your positive and constructive feedback means so much to the team that put the publication together.

The November issue is an early festive cracker. We’ve shopped ’til we dropped to bring you a Christmas gift guide and point you in the right direction; we’ve chosen the ten finalists of our GBG COVERSTAR 2008 competition and now it’s over to you to vote for the winner and decide who will appear on next month’s front cover; we’ve got some superb prizes, as always, to give away including a luxury beauty hamper from the Day Spa and a great competition from new company, tig.gg; our fashion shoot for Marks & Spencer is not just any fashion shoot… many thanks to the Bella Luce Hotel for providing the location. I could go on and on!

Our name GBG says it all. We’re proud to be a part of Guernsey and from this month onwards we are lending our name and our support to a fantastic new initiative. ‘Great Buying Guernsey’ is the brainchild of Terry Ferbrache from Fletchersports and together we have launched a campaign that will back local business. Let’s not be downbeat and I don’t want to mention ‘credit crunch’ or ‘recession’ (oh, sorry I have) but there has never been a better time to think local, eat local, sleep local. We’re 100% behind the campaign and urge you to support it too.

Finally, we would like to welcome all of our new advertisers including estate agents Living Room. Of course, without advertisers, there would be no GBG. We would also like to welcome all of our new contributors including Dr James Ray. Of course, without contributors, there too would be no GBG! Dr Ray will be writing more, alongside our popular columnist Dr Andrews in the New Year.

Enjoy the magazine as much as we enjoy creating it for you! Next month is already set to be another rollercoaster so make certain that you keep a look out for the December issue to find out what else is new in the world of GBG.
