Dear Neighbours, Happy New Year! Welcome to the January edition of your Abbey-Link. This edition will probably be delivered to you during all the festivities between Christmas and New Year - so I do hope you are all having a magical time with your loved ones! Alternatively you may be counting down the days until it’s back to school - but let’s hope not! So it’s (soon to be) 2016, and I wonder what this year will bring? Are you someone who starts each year with a list of New Years Resolutions, but by the end of January you realise you’ve not stuck to any of them?!! Well if getting fit or loosing weight is amongst your New Year Resolutions, maybe the Abbey-Link can help you out, we have a few local businesses advertising their fitness regimes with us; from Slim Fitness on the front cover who have NEW classes starting at the Abbeydale Community Centre, see more details along with Julies Top New Year Fitness Tips on page 20, Females4Fitness on page 24 offering a 50% joining fee discount, or taking up classes of Zumba with Jane, details of her classes are on page 21. May be dance is more of your thing, Mandy Goddings Theatre Arts hold ballet classes for children at the Community Centre, see page 20 for more details or maybe you fanct trying Scottish Dancing, details about this club can be found on the index page. Many of our local businesses are also holding Sales during January, so if you are looking to upate the furnishings in your home, now may be a great time to do it….there’s Barbaras Blinds on page 30, Gloucester Furniture on page 26, Glevum Heating on page 29 are offering a £100 Marks and Spencer voucher on new systems installed before February and Als Windows are offering a 25% discount on gutter cleaning - see more on pages 18, 19. If you run a business in the area, then the likely hood is that you are already starting to think about the New Year and how to increase business in 2016. Perhaps we can help you we are running an offer this month - where if you place a full or half page colour advert with us in our February editions then we give you a £20 discount. So you can get your business in front of 1,000’s of homes for just a fraction of the cost. But be quick as this is only available for the first 16 customers - you must quote 2016. Give me a ring or drop me an email. 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 month and may I wish you all a very Happy and Healthy 2016 Sarah.
