Dear Neighbours, Welcome to the September edition of your Abbey-Link. The Summer holidays are now drawing to a close and it’s the start of a new academic year. This can mean a whole new era for a lot of the younger generation, with either first days at school, colleges or universities looming, it can be an exciting and also apprehensive few weeks ahead. Good luck to all of you starting your new adventures. No sooner is the Summer over and our thoughts start to turn towards the ’C’ word. Yes, I’m sorry, but if you are the one that organises the Christmas parties, perhaps you can find what you are looking for in the Link Directories. With Hatton Court on the opposite page and Bowden Hall on page 22, both advertising their festive party nights, make sure you reserve your space quick so you don’t miss out. September might be a time when you would like to try something new. We have adverts this month for a local Badminton club in Quedgeley that are looking for new members as well as a Scottish Dancing group who are also looking to grow their group, read more details on page 29. The nights will also start creeping in now, and there will be an Autumn feel before we know it. If you are thinking about new curtains or blinds for your home this Autumn, we have a few great local companies who can help with your interior needs, see our index on page 30 for a list of those companies.. Congratulations to Shirley Salter for winning the Sudoku, Cineworld tickets will be on their way out to you. Have a great month .... Sarah.

Dave’s top tips Drilling holes in ceramic tiles Ok , so you have just tiled your bathroom and need to fit a few items to the wall such as a towel rail. But those tiles seem so hard and slippery, what is the best way to drill a hole? The first thing you need to do is mark out where the hole needs to be and apply some masking tape to said mark. This will help prevent the drill from slipping around on the tiles surface. Next fit a masonry bit of correct size into your drill and set the hammer action of the drill to OFF. Align the drill with your mark and slowly start to apply pressure with the drill running fairly slowly. This should give you a slight indentation on the tile as the drill cuts in. Gradually increase the speed but being careful not to overheat the drill bit and not applying too much pressure. Gradually the drill will pass through the tile and you can then apply the hammer action to drill through the actual wall. Be sure to check out our website at www.dstevens999.co.uk for more top tips along with some great video tutorials to help you with your DIY skills 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.
