A belated Happy New Year to you all! Welcome to the February edition of your Tuffley Link. The Christmas break seems a long time ago now, but how are we all getting on with those New Year Resolutions? Still sticking to them?! Well if learning a new skill is amongst your New Year Resolutions, maybe the Tuffley Link can help you out, we have a few local businesses advertising their classes with us. Maybe you would like to learn something musically, if so there’s Anthony who specialises in Guitar and Vocal Coaching, and from experience I can say comes highly recommended - on page 10, perhaps you fancy an art class, well Tina is holding art classes in Kingsway and Quedgeley - find her details on page 16. Then on page 21 are details of a Scottish Dance Club if you fancy something a bit more physical, or local WI clubs if you fancy getting together on a regular social basis. Many of our local businesses are also holding Sales during February, so if you are looking to upate the furnishings in your home, now may be a great time to do it….there’s Interior Needs on page 11, Gloucester Furnture Centre on the front cover and Als Windows are offering a 25% discount on gutter cleaning - see more on pages 12 & 13.. Remember February is also Valentines Day, and where better to buy flowers for your loved one than Plantation Florist, on the opposite page - they are a great local business who are now celebrating 21 years of business, so congratulation to them. If you run a business in the area, then the likely hood is that you are already starting to think about how to increase business in 2016. Perhaps we can help you - we are running an offer this month - where if you place an advert in one of our directories, we will place it in a second directory for you for half price - helping to get your business in front of more customers - see our advert on page 16. This way you can get your business in front of 1,000’s of homes for just a fraction of the cost. Give me a ring or drop me an email. To be in with a chance to win Cineworld Tickets, see page 19. Please feel free to email me your Sudoku entries if you so wish: sarah@thelinkdirectories.co.uk Have a great month Sarah.

Hearts and Hurricanes WI We are a young, informal and friendly WI group who meet on the second Wednesday of every month at 7.30pm in the newly-opened Coopers Edge Community Centre (next door to Coopers Edge School). We've enjoyed a large increase in our membership over the last year, and now regularly see around 40 people attending our meetings. If you fancy joining us, feel free to come along to a meeting, which you can try for free before deciding whether our WI group is for you. To give us an idea of numbers, please email us first at heartsandhurricaneswi@hotmail.co.uk if you're thinking of coming along. We've got some great meetings lined up for the coming year, with a mix of the serious, such as talks on Hearing Dogs for deaf people and special care for premature and sick babies, and the more light-hearted, with trial sessions of Laughing Yoga and Bellydancing. We also have regular favourites such as our annual Bake Off and our summer Garden Party. In between the monthly main meetings we hold other regular clubs for WI members: book club, craft club, and a dining club, as well as regular social events such as cinema and theatre trips and weekends away. We always include time during our meetings for tea and homemade cake and a chance to chat with other members. It's a great way of meeting people and making friends if you are new to the area, or just want to improve your social life! You can find out more about us by visiting our website: www.heartsandhurricaneswi.weebly.com where you will find, amongst lots of other information, a list of the meetings we have planned for this year. We look forward to meeting you!
