Next week the Stroud News & Journal will be out and about meeting you!

We will be setting up home in Stroud's Five Valleys Shopping Centre on Wednesday, October 5.

Please come along and meet us between 11am and 3pm.

We will be giving away a bottle of water and our very stylish Stroud News & Journal bags for life with every purchase of the paper.

Our editor Stephanie Preece and newspaper sales manager Julie Bolton will be on hand to say 'hi' or listen to your views and feedback.

Stephanie said: "We are really looking forward to meeting shoppers in Stroud next Wednesday.

"As a thank you to our readers we are giving away some goodies so please pop along and buy your copy of next week's paper from us.

"We are always interested in hearing the views of our readers and advertisers, but it will be especially good to talk face-to-face.

"I'd like to say a big thank you to the wonderful Five Valleys Shopping Centre for hosting us for the day. See you next Wednesday!"
