Round at Bill’s Mother’s is the new rolling news & features service for full subscribers. Here’s how it works:
Save the page address, or use the Substack app which will automatically refresh the post every time it’s updated. Your next emailed version will not arrive until the 15th November or thereabouts.
Every time something new comes in, I’ll add an update at the top, with older stuff eventually dropping off the bottom of the post.
This post also hosts the full What’s On Out There listings, updated every few days.
Two versions of Round at Bill’s Mother’s post will be emailed out each month, and then updated online every few days after the email.
Thanks to all the regular readers who are signing up as full members. If you’ve been reading for free for several months, please remember the time and money it costs to get these posts out to you. Reader support to the tune of £4 per month (or less if you go annual) is the only way this kind of publication can operate.
To make life easier (and clear up your email inbox) how about downloading the free Substack app which makes everything easier to read. It’s simple, doesn’t sell you anything, and updates posts automatically. Plus you can reload and avoid my embarrassing early edition typos.
