In this (slightly) festive Blether, we hear from Santa ahead of his various appearances at The Beacon, Jim Bryce leads us down memory lane once again in Gorebridge Yesterdays, and Derek has a chat with Gael Robertson, Chair of the Gorebridge Community Council. Plus, we look back on what's been happening and what's coming up at the Beacon and around, including our Winter Festival. Oh, and there's a suitably Christmassy bonus clip of the Gorebridge Community Choir.

It's Episode 2 of The Beacon Blether! This time, we have a new feature for you: 'Gorebridge Yesterdays', where local voice actor (amongst other things) Jim Bryce takes us on a trip down memory lane. We also visited The Beacon's first 'Dogs' Day Out', and spoke to Chris O'Brien, who coaches the Arniston Rangers 2013s football team.
