Dear Neighbours, Welcome to the January edition of your Hucclecote Link. Happy New Year to you all! As I am writing this numbers of the Omicron cases are on the rise and we are keeping everything crossed that we are not going to have to go into another lockdown and that you have managed to enjoy the Christmas festivities and been able to spend time with friends and family. With the New Year now upon us, this can be a time when we start to think about getting fit and loosing a few of those Christmas pounds - so if you fancy trying something new, Spirit Health Club on page 14 are offering a free trial, or take a look at Emmas Yoga and Zumba with Wanda both on page 16. New year can mean a time for new beginnings - Barnwood Park School have a vacancy for a Care Assistant & Student Support, if you are looking for a new job, see page 20 for more details. Also new for 2022 - we are introducing the Quedgeley Link. After trying to get this up and running last year, but lockdown hitting us again, we feel that this is now the right time to reach out to many local businesses and help them spread the word about how great they are. So if your customers live in the Quedgeley area, please do get in touch to find out how we can get you in front of them and take advantage of our introductory offer. I wish you all a very Happy New Year and hope you all continue to take care and keep safe Sarah.

Dave’s top tips Fitting a shower tray
When installing a shower tray it is best wherever possible, to place the tray on a firm base made of timber that allows access to the trap and pipework underneath. If this is the case with your shower it is relatively easy, and not hugely destructive, to remove the front or sides of the base to get at any potential leak later on if one should occur. It’s also best that the tray is installed before the walls are tiled as this allows for a much more watertight joint. Sit the tray and make sure it is level. The bottom of the tray is sloped to make sure the water runs out of the waste so you do not need to tilt it in any way. Insert the waste and connect it to the pipework you have prepared. The tray should sit on a bed of sealant or cement mix on a timber frame. Whether the tray is sitting on legs or on a base, the waste should be placed in a position where it can be accessed when necessary. For front access for example simply fitting skirting board across the timbers would be enough to hide any pipework. 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.

HUCCLECOTE TOWNSWOMENS GUILD The Guild ended 2021 with their Christmas Social, which seemed - thankfully! to be unaffected by current rules on social gatherings which, whilst observed, didn't stand in the way of a really enjoyable evening. The Guild meets at the Hucclecote Community Centre at 7.30pm on the third Thursday each month. At each meeting, there is a speaker or demonstration, refreshments, a raffle, the bring-and-buy sales table and - most importantly! the chance to chat and catch up with friends. Guests and visitors are always welcome - if your New Year resolution is to "get out more" or "meet new friends", why not come along? You would be made very welcome. Phone Linda on 617701 for more details, or just come along on the night.
