Dear Neighbours, Welcome to the March edition of your Tuffley Link. At last the nights are starting to pull out, although with the bad weather still lingering, it may be a while yet until it starts to feel like Spring. I do hope you haven’t been too affected by the floods or storms in any way I would usually be saying that by now we might start venturing into our gardens to start getting them ready for the warmer months, but many of you may need help with fallen fences or broken gutters before getting Summer ready. If you do need help we have Colour Fence on page 16 who specialise with storm proof fencing and many other property maintenance companies, listed on our index page on page 22, that can help you get your home and garden back on track. Do you have little ones, if so Gloucester County Council are holding Stay and play sessions in your area and this is a great way of making new friends for both yourself and your child, read more about it on page 11. Or have you thought of volunteering? Home Start, a charity that helps make a difference to the lives of families within the community are looking for volunteers, you can read more about this on pages 18. If you enjoy cycling, LINC have their 3 Counties Cycle Ride taking place in June - read more about it on page 19 and maybe sign up to help raise money for a great cause. Congratulations to C English on winning last months Sudoku, tickets for Cineworld are on their way to you. This months Sudoku can be found on page 21. Have a great month ... Sarah.
