It’s the end of the week already, Happy Friday!
Let’s start this blog off with a quick reminder of our photography competition that is currently running.
The theme is Summertime & Animals of Oakley Vale and you still have just over a month to get your entries in as the closing date isn’t until the 30th September. Watch out at the start of October to see if you will be claiming our prize!!
Anything and everything is encouraged so be as out-of-the-box as you want! To enter simply click here and you will be walked through the entry process!
Listening to You
Another reminder is for you to send in your stories. We want to read your stories and we are sure the people of Corby also want to read them!
If you perhaps lived in Corby before Oakley Vale was created – or were one of the first to move into the development – we would love to hear for you. We want to know what the place was like, do you recall Oakley Vale being created? Do you have photos?
Send us your insights and thoughts – big or small – to our Facebook or Twitter pages along with any photos you might have!
You’ll be featured as a contributor in our website!
