Without you, we would not exist. With so many of the year’s events being cancelled or having to move online, we are absolutely chuffed to be able to present this magazine and have so much to fill it with. The fears of it being pamphlet-sized have been, thankfully, unfounded. We hope you enjoy reading our 2019-2020 Brentwoodian! - The Brentwoodian Team
