How many times have you opened social media to see an event that happened the day before and you would have gone if you knew about it? Gosh this has happened to me so many times over the years and it’s not like I wasn’t on my socials many times each day.

So how did I miss it. It’s like Facebook etc just doesn’t show it too you before the event on purpose. Frustrating isn’t it? So we decided to do something about it and created this newsletter. We will do our best to keep you informed before the events happen 😃.
