The evenings have certainly closed in and with Halloween this weekend, I would urge motorists to light up for the conditions and be extra cautious with so many kids going to be out and about playing ‘Trick or Treat’ this weekend.

Well the last holiday weekend of the year before the run up to Christmas is out of the way and the ‘Jazz’ has been wound up for another year. By all accounts it was a great weekend and from what I saw during my rounds of the pubs to get pics on Saturday night, it certainly was. There was a great line up of music and bands about for the weekend with all tastes catered for and no one disappointed. It was great to catch up with so many people while doing my rounds over the weekend and thank you all for your kind words and appreciation and support for The Douglas Post. Briefly staying on the topic of music – The East Village presents Bagatelle this Friday (Oct 30th) with Republic of Loose and a double header by Aslan in the not too distant future – well done to Derry and the lads at The East Village for bringing top live acts to Douglas.

I must apologise to anyone and in particular sports PROs who tried to send e-mails to us on Monday and indeed over the weekend only to have their mails bounce back to them. This was due to the fact our server had gone down over the weekend and it wasn’t sorted until lunchtime on Tuesday, our deadline day.
