Cherishing the sight of an otter in the Irwell

A welcome visitor to our 'melancholy stream’

Good morning members — if you missed our post last night, it was a briefing about the latest Covid data and the Canadian company that now owns the Trafford Centre. It was a bit of new format for us but it seems to have gone down well.

We have a favour to ask: If you have time to fill out this 20-question members’ survey, that would be much appreciated and will help us to learn what we could be doing better with The Mill and the membership.

We are doing a members’ discussion thread at 8pm tonight to talk about the government’s decision today about Tier 3 restrictions, and how people feel about their festive plans.

Now to some happier news…
