Issue 126 – September 2023
Quite often we get emails and phone calls from local events and organisations which we would love to give publicity to but we just don’t have the space to do it. One such event is the Cross Gates Winter Health and Well-being Event, scheduled to take place on the 26th of September from 10am to 2pm at Cross Gates Shopping Centre.
Another is the Local Care Partnership group in Crossgates which is working to make Crossgates more Dementia Friendly and get local businesses involved.
Issue 125 – August 2023
It’s issue 125 of East Leeds Magazine! The number 125’s meaning is about hope, encouragement, and positivity. The number 125 is also a sign of change and new beginnings. Back in the olden days there was The InterCity 125 HST. In science the number 125 represents Unbipentium’s atomic number, while in numerology it’s a manifestation of the heavenly realm in your life. But of course, we all knew that!
Issue 124 – July 2023
Warren’s making a bit of a song and dance about honey bees right now and Alan C’s doing the same about hats! Lee Murtagh is busy putting his third film in three years together.
And another competition, this time to win two tickets to see a modern take of Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’ with an added environmental twist in it.
Issue 123 – June 2023
If you fancy a 1, 2 or 3 course meal but are feeling the pinch a bit or maybe you’re on your own and could do with a bit of company then Food Cycle at Chapel FM are really worth taking a look at. If you just want 12 items for £3.50 then Community Fridge are worth a visit (pages 30 & 32.) Warren ponders on what to do about foxes killing chickens and takes on a beehive at the same time. Alan seems more concerned about the drought in Spain and while it’s all doom and gloom down at Elland Road, local artist Lee Buccilli tells us about his latest ‘Leeds United Legends’ paintings.
Issue 122 – May 2023
It seems Warren is a fan of birds (and rabbits) as he launches an attack on murderous moggies as well as irresponsible dog owners.
Seems like he’s not the only one with an axe to grind as Alan’s not too happy with a corrupt Mayor in sunny Spain and Abel’s angst is the hope that the NHS community pharmacy on the high street is not staggering towards its grave.
Suprisingley Lee Murtagh isn’t angry with anyone and has put boxing to one side as he begins his latest movie ‘Champ Tramp’ which is the story of a down on his luck former world champion boxer.
Issue 121 – April 2023
I hope you enjoy this latest edition, welcome to spring! Warren is certainly busy with radishes and spring onions and Alan’s having to cope without chocolate Easter Eggs during the Easter parades in Spain although it does seem like the beer keeps flowing.
Issue 120 – Feb/March 2023
It might be a bit late for Valentines Day but with all the strikes going off at the moment, with the way the buses & trains run, better late than never. Abel Kubare pens a heart breaking letter to his family. Lee’s got another show coming up and another movie in the planning stage. Warren tells us all we don’t need to know about mice and it looks like Alan’s in trouble again if his wife reads his latest article.
Issue 119 – January 2023
2022 wasn’t the best year in living memory and the optimism cup isn’t exactly overflowing for 2023. But we’ll get by, we always do. It’s a new year and a new start for everyone. A new rose. Thanks to everyone who continue to support this mag, whether it’s readers or advertisers in this difficult post Covid / lockdown / Brexit.
Issue 118 – Dec 2022
It doesn’t really seem like Christmas with the World Cup ongoing. A World Cup built on modern slavery with over 6500 migrant workers dead. Football truly has lost its soul on this one.
Anyway, have a great Christmas.
God Bless The Ukraine
Peace & Love.

Issue 117 – Oct/Nov 2022
Once upon a time there was a tavern. Where we used to raise a glass or two. Remember how we laughed away the hours. Think of all the great things we would do? Those were the days, my friend. We thought they’d never end. We’d sing and dance forever and a day. We’d live the life we choose. We’d fight and never lose, For we were young and sure to have our way. Mary Hopkin with her 1968, passage of time classic. And as we approach 15 years of East Leeds Magazine, we also are thinking, where did the time go! God Bless The Ukraine Peace.
