We’re planning a special 204-page bumper issue to mark the occasion so keep an eye out for your copy in December. The secret of our success is, of course, simple. We tell Islanders’ stories, and I don’t imagine there’s anywhere else in the country where you’d find a more fascinating range of life stories. So in these pages you’ll find a former High Sheriff and would-be nun who stole bread from the nunnery kitchens; Bembridge’s builder and funeral director who did rally driving on the side; and a farmer/ entrepreneur who can’t seem to retire. We report on some exciting sailing and equestrian events, and report on causes which are close to your hearts: the Island’s endangered species, a threatened museum, and the NHS Awards which celebrate the unsung heroes in the medical world. Finally, our food and drink section is stuffed with great places to eat and fabulous things to cook. So now we’re ready to celebrate. www.visitislandlife.com CONTACT: Publishers: Martin & Tanya Potter 100 - Mrs Thompsons gardening tips 102 - East Cowes in Bloom Business News: Editor: Martin Potter 66 Victoria Avenue, Shanklin, Equestrian: 157 159 160 161 105 - A real test of endurance 106 - Matt Green talks to Island Life 112 - Robert Booth Update 113 - We visit Allendale Riding Stables 114 - BHS - Worming your horse 118 - Somerton 2010 120 - Equestrian Directory Fashion, Health and Beauty: 117 - Orchard Cosmetic Skin Centre deals with unwanted hair 126 - Intensive Care on the Island 130 - 10 years younger with Red House Spa 133 - Eyelash extensions with Jolie King - Jacky Cook talks about Joules Moore Stephens - Grays Marquees Wisteria Gallery - Wight & Green Charles Stanley - Distinctive Designs Island Life Magazine: Isle of Wight.
