On the bright side, we've had our best people working on it and we're up and running once again.
Secondly, Before we tell you what's happening at the Rising Sun this weekend, a spot of blowing one's trumpet is in order as we've been nominated for Charity of the Year in this year’s Pride of Reading Awards.
