READY, steady bake – staff at the Stroud News & Journal are busy preparing a range of mouthwatering treats to raise money for charity.

The SNJ will be serving tea, coffee and cake from 10am today, Friday, at the office in Lansdown, Stroud as part of Macmillan Cancer Support’s World’s Biggest Coffee Morning.

Readers are welcome to pop in to help raise money for this worthwhile charity.

Some members of the team will also be taking part in our very own bake-off challenge - so be sure to come along and check out some of our showstoppers.
