From the Editors... Many years ago we took our very small children to see Cirque du Soleil in Sydney. Although young - the memory of this has
stayed with them well into high school (and even university) years - it’s a memory they will hold with them forever. So it was with
much excitement that we learned that Cirque du Soleil would be includingNewcastleasoneofthefinalstopsoftheirswansong
tour of Quidam. This month we spoke to the shows Artistic Director Marjon Van Grunsven and Aerial Contortionist Julie Cameron to findoutwhytheselastshowsarebothbittersweetandmagical.
Another enduring event visits the Hunter this month when the Jack Newton Celebrity Classic hits the course for three days in December. A heartfelt thank you to Jack and
Jackie Newton for inviting us to their beautiful Cardiff Heights home to share all the insider info on "The Jack," their
lives and their beautiful family with us.
Of course, our December/January issue would not be complete without a visit from the big man in red. Find out why you may want
to look twice when you hop onto Santa's knee at Charlestown Square this year on page 8. Our Charlestown Special Feature
shines the spotlight on some very special local businesses while taking a look at how this once tiny mining town has grown into the
thriving commercial centre it has become today.
2015 has been a big year for the intouch magazine family. WelaunchedourfirstissueinJuneandhavefastbecome
Newcastle and Lake Macquarie’s favourite lifestyle magazine with well over a hundred thousand readers each month across
our print magazine, interactive digital magazine, fabulous website (have you checked it out?) and social media pages. And who
do we have to thank? You of course – our readers! Thank you for embracing intouch magazine as your own.
From our families to yours – we wish you a very merry and restful Christmas and a happy and prosperous 2016.
See you in February!
