Dear Neighbours, Welcome to the September edition of your Abbey-Link. Wow where did those Summer holidays go, I do hope you all managed to enjoy the few nice days of good weather that we managed to get? September can feel a funny month, Autumn is just around the corner and yet we can sometimes have better weather than during August. For many September is the start of a new era, with many young ones taking their first steps into a new environment, whether that be primary or secondary school or moving on to college or university; it can be a time of new beginnings and uncertainty. In this house my youngest will be starting Senior school, so this will mean quite a new routine within the household and a definite feel of them all growing up now! If yours are flying the nest, then you may even feel a bit of empty nest syndrome setting in, in which case maybe we can help you with some events to put in your diaries.. September is a month many people help to raise money for Macmillian by holding coffee mornings, St Philip & St James church in Hucclecote are holding a coffee morning event see more details on page 36 and Interior Needs are combing their charity coffee mornings with also raising month from sales for The MS Society, read more on pages 20 & 21. Local charity James Hopkins Trust are holding a charity auction early in October, this should be a great evening and a great way to help raise much needed funds for this amazing charity, more details on page 18 If you like art, then The Fosseway Artists Autumn Exhibition is being held at Nature in Art this month more details on page 34. As we head towards the final quarter of the year (already!) and you would like to see if we can help you to grow your business, we have a great Autumn Offer that you might like to take advantage of, see more details on page 36. Congratulations to Andrew Smith, for winning the Sudoku, Cineworld ticket will be on their way out to you. To be in with a chance to win Cineworld Tickets, see page 33. Please feel free to email me your Sudoku entries if you so wish: sarah@thelinkdirectories.co.uk Have a great September Sarah.

Dave’s top tips Why move to ceramic disk taps? Ceramic disk taps are designed to last a lifetime. Unfortunately, in hard water areas they do not and it is as well to know how they operate and how to service them. It is very rare for the ceramic discs to wear out and the need to replace them is even rarer. It is, most often, just a case of dismantling the moving parts and servicing them. Should you be unlucky enough to have a tap wherein the parts do actually "wear out" then it is unlikely you will be able to replace the discs and will probably need to replace the whole cartridge within the unit. The disc tap should be virtually indestructible because a) the ceramics do not wear out, and b) The distance moved by any part of the tap in any one go, is only a quarter of a turn. 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
