Welcome to the November edition of your Tuffley Link. The clocks have now gone back and with those darker mornings and evenings now upon us, it is definitely starting to feel as though Winter is round the corner. I do love this time of year though, the changes of colour to all the trees, the fresh, crisp mornings (when it’s not raining!!), and then putting the heating on in the evenings and snuggling down to a good old film, with a blanket and a hot chocolate!! For us, it’s the month of calm before the December and Christmas mayhem sets in!! Yes, Christmas is not that far away now. So if you are looking to plan a great night out to celebrate this Christmas, look no further than Hatton Court, on the front cover, they run some great party nights (I can say that from experience!) but book quickly to reserve your space. If you are starting to think about gifts for loved ones, then you’ll be pleased to hear that Equilibrium are now selling Gift Vouchers for the festive season, more details on page 14. Before the Winter months truly set in, November is a great time of year to get your gutters cleared, a job I know we always put off. Well this month Al’s Window Cleaning have a 25% discount off their Gutter cleaning service so why not give them a call, more details on page 10. Last month we celebrated 10 years of the Abbey-Link! I can’t quite believe that we have been publishing local directories for that long, but I feel very proud of how far we have come. A lot of our success is down to our local businesses that advertise with us, our distributors who get the directories through your doors, and to you the readers, who pick up the phone and use the businesses in the directories. A big thankyou to you all. As a way of celebrating, we have an offer for local businesses to promote their Christmas events across all 3 of our directories in December, more details are on page 15. The winner of this months Sudoku competition is , Derek Beard, Cineworld tickets will be on their way to you. To be in with a chance to win Cineworld Tickets, see page 17. Please feel free to email me your Sudoku entries if you so wish: sarah@thelinkdirectories.co.uk Have a great month Sarah.
