October
WelcomeHello and welcome
to the first edition of
etc magazine.
Our glossy new
publication is packed
full of fascinating
interviews, places
to visit in the
North East,
interesting
businesses, holiday breaks, dream cars
and much more.
Alison Goulding visits what must be one
of the most unusual places to stay in the
country, where you can relax in rooms with
themes as diverse as Dr Who, Cruella De Vil
and New York.
Cara Houchen talks to Olympic bronze
medallist boxer Tony Jeffries, while Sarah
Stoner looks at things that go bump in the
night in the North East.
If you feel the need for speed there
are features on Harley Davidsons and the
incredible Ferrari F430 Scuderia but, at a more
sedate pace, Georga Spottiswood spends a
day at the races.
With gardening, wine, fashion and much
more, there is something for everyone � I
hope you enjoy it!
See you next time.
