Dear Neighbours, Happy New Year! Welcome to the January edition of your Abbey- Link. I hope that when you receive this you will have all had, or are in the midst of having a fun and festive break. January is a time of the year when we all reflect on the year gone by and what the New Year may bring….. We definitely had a full on 2013 in our house, full of fun and celebrations, so I’m thinking 2014 may be slightly quieter! January is also a time for those New Years resolutions, and if fitness or loosing weight was up there as one of your resolutions, then let the Abbey-Link help you. With Rosemary Conley classes starting up at Gloucester Academy soon, see the Front Cover, and Virgin Active offering a complimentary visit to see what their gyms can offer, see more details on page 16, there are lots of ways to help you stick to your resolution. February will also be upon us before we know it, and so if you are thinking of taking that special someone somewhere romantic, look no further than Hatton Court, they have some special offers for Valentines, see page 2 for further details. The British Heart Foundation are holding an event on 7th February - ‘Ramp up the Red’ You can hold an event at work or at school to help raise money for coronary heart disease, for further details and ways you can help, see their advert on page 14. Congratulations to Joanne Parslow the winner of this months Cineworld tickets. The Sudoku competition is taking a break this month, but hopes to be back again in future editions. Have a great month Sarah.
