Local and national Events Calendar 2013

In 2013, we're publishing a helpful leaflet of local and national events and dates.

To help a bit more, we're also blogging the dates as here we can put links to relevant web pages. Don't forget our link to our own website - do get in touch if you're thinking of moving or need help with letting or managing a property - www.edwardashdale.com.
