Dear Neighbours, Welcome to the May edition of your Abbey-Link. The month of Birthdays and Bank Holidays! This year it seems that all our bank holidays are coming at once. No sooner is Easter over with and then the May Day bank holiday is upon us, with Whitsun at the end of the month! Still with 6 of my family members celebrating birthdays this month, including myself, and with our sister directory, the Hucclecote Link now celebrating its 12 year of publishing this month too, the bank holidays will come in handy for holding those celebrations. If you are looking for a good night out and have something to celebrate, why not take a look at the themed events that are coming up at Bowden Hall Hotel, on the opposite page, or pop along to the Saintbridge Sports Club for a Sunday night of Bingo - see page 18, both are guaranteed for an evening of fun. The bank holidays always seem to be a time when we start to get back outside in the garden again or try our hands at DIY around the home. If you need a help with any jobs inside or outside, we always have a range of great local businesses that are on hand to help you. Have a look at our index on page 38 to find who you are looking for. If you are thinking about organising a childrens party but with a different theme - give Bohemian Beads on page 37 a try, you won’t be disappointed. Congratulations to Joan Reid the winner of last months Sudoku competition, Cineworld tickets will be with you soon. Have a great month, ... Sarah.

Dave’s top tips Drilling large holes
Larger holes are often required when installing switches or laying pipes. For this reason, special drill bit shapes and special material are necessary. If you want to work on wood or soft plastic, you will require not only an impact drill but also special accessories – what are known as hole cutters or hole saws. These enable you to drill in soft materials such as fiberboard or wood. Accessories made of High Speed Steel (HSS) should be used for working on metal and hard plastics. A tungsten-carbide multi-purpose drill bit is recommended for drilling in stone or tiles. It is also suitable for hard woods, wooden materials and coated boards. The harder the material, the higher the frictional forces between the material and the bit. Therefore, water has to be used to cool the holes being drilled in tiles or concrete. Large holes that are drilled in metal are lubricated and cooled with a special drill emulsion, lubricating paste or machine oil. Safety is paramount: Due to the large circumference of the drill bits, much greater forces occur during work than in normal drilling applications. Modern drills have such high power that they cannot be held if they get jammed. This is why you should drill with an auxiliary handle attached. Regards Dave Stevens. If in doubt call me (see main advert for number) and I will do the investigating for you. Disclaimer. All advice above is given in goodwill with many years experience. We cannot guarantee however that your problems will be rectified so please, if in doubt call us before undertaking any works yourself.
