At TestLink, we're constantly reminding each other how fortunate we are to be located in such a beautiful part of the world.

The UK office and production facilities may be snuggled inside a bustling industrial estate but with Upton Country Park being (literally) a stone's throw away, the National Trust's Upton House sitting just round the corner and Poole Bay only a brief trip down the road, we're the first to acknowledge that, when it comes to lunch-time beauty spots, we're spoilt for choice.

We're not only spoilt by beautiful surroundings. We're lucky too to have year-round events programmes that really showcase the area at its best. It's consistently apparent through the conversations we have at work; bringing each other up to speed with our weekend intentions and reminding one another of upcoming events put on by local organisations, authorities and councils.

It's easy to take for granted the hard work of those preserving and promoting our local area. That being said, we thought we'd use this week's news feed to direct you towards events listings for the summer and beyond (in case you're reading this later on in the year!). Events include large-scale, annual shows such as the Bournemouth Air Festival, sporty, fun-filled events like the Gung-Ho 5k, stand up comedy from routines from some famous faces and weekly fireworks displays!
