Things sure are heating up heading into the end of November and the start of the festive season has already commenced.

The weather forecast has forced the cancellation of several local events for this weekend, including a skate park competition, drag racing and the Rockleigh carols.

But a National Bentley Rally and Endurance Crown were still scheduled at the time of publication...

This weekly feature is brought to you by the Bridgeport Hotel - the place to be.
