Dear Neighbours, Welcome to the April edition of your Quedgeley Link. By the time you receive this months directory the clocks will be just going forward and so we start to have longer days and hopefully there is a feeling of Spring around the corner. With all that’s going on around the world, we could all do with some positivity in our lives at the moment, so this month why not fill it with lots of little treats to yourself, starting with a night out, check out some events that are happening at the Quedgeley Social Club over the next few months and maybe get some dates in your diary, see their advert on page 9. Another treat for you, Kara’s hairdressing are offering a 25% discount during April on hair colouring if you take our advert, which you can find on the page opposite. InSPArations, a local wellness clinic, on page 9, offer a variety of treatments and are offering Quedgeley Link customers a 10% discount on their first visit, what’s not to like about that! With Spring around the corner, this is always a time for starting to look at the jobs that might need doing outside our homes to get our gardens Summer ready. We have a variety of gardeners, landscapers, and property maintenance businesses that can help, you can find them on our index on poge 18. If you run a local business and your customers live in one of our distribution areas, please do get in touch to find out how we can help get you in front of them with our April offer. Have a great month & enjoy your Easter break - Sarah.

Help if we Can ….. Our most recent event planning meeting has brought some new programme dates and also thanks to Quedgeley Link one or two people have come forward with plans to help us. Please do make contact if you can spend an hour or so now and then. We are off to Ypres in Belgium on 6/7/8 May, we go every year and pay our respects to those who gave their lives for us in the Great War. We have been invited to hold a raffle and assist with marshalling at Shipton Oliffe near Andoversford on Sunday 17th July. Great crowd of organisers and visitors to this popular day. We will be there. On Friday 22nd July the Gloucestershire Police Male Voice Choir are holding a concert for our benefit in Severn Vale School, Quedgeley (by kind permission) and tickets for this super evening will be available shortly. We are very much involved with the Queens Platinum Jubilee parade and Fun Day (Dog Show, Fun Fair, vintage vehicles, the Emergency Services, horse events and many stands and stalls) on Sunday June 5th at Fishers Meadow, Quedgeley on Sunday June 4th from 1100am. A coach is half full already for the bi-annual visit to the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas in Staffordshire. Beautiful and moving site. Tickets are £17pp. We are now looking at a Table Top Sale and resurrecting our plans for Last Night of the Proms in the Autumn which was sidelined in 2020 due to COVid. Want any more information?
