Welcome to the summer edition of Around Ealing magazine . This has been a feelgood edition to pull together because we have been able to include a summer activities section , for the first time . After the year we have all endured , it is so nice to be able to look forward to things again – and with other people . So , please make sure you take a look through ( and perhaps keep ) the section beginning on page 10 . It includes the return of the Ealing Summer Festivals . Although it is not quite its full traditional programme , it is exciting to see it back after having to be cancelled last year . There are also four competitions in the magazine : One for children to win a free dance class with Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse ( p8 ); one to win a season ticket to Hanwell Zoo ( p15 ); one for school pupils to get their art on the side of the council ’ s recycling trucks ( p8 ); and , finally , one to win tickets to Ealing Comedy Festival ( p10 ).
