The good news! It's half way through the week already and we are hurtling towards another weekend. I've managed to get Lise-Ann to come to the Duxford Air show this Sun - the Red Arrows, the Eurofighter typhoon and the battle of Britain fly over, Spitfires, Hurricaines and Lancaster bombers... Yey! Do I know how to treat a lady or what?
The bad news! I have to start organising the Christmas Lights switch-on show in the town centre in November... 'Choir Idol' is back and this year we want to 'Glee' it up. So get in touch if you're in the school choir and want to star on the Rugby FM roadshow stage. Are you in the best school choir in Rugby? If so proove it and get in touch...
