Welcome to the October edition of your Tuffley Link. Autumn is certainly here, and the new academic year is now well under way. The new term always brings many trials and tribulations, (we seem to experience many within our own household!) I do hope your children are all settling in now, whether they have started their first days at primary school, or have flown the nest to start uni. If they are off to uni, perhaps you are suffering with empty nest syndrome… if so perhaps it’s time to start to try something new… As well as many great businesses advertising in the Tuffley Link, we have some great local clubs that you can get involved in, that advertise too. Whether its going to coffee mornings at the community centre, more details on page 15, or trying your hand at Scottish Dancing, see page 18, there are many clubs out there for you to try out and take the first step of trying something new. Perhaps you run a club in the Tuffley area and would like to promote what you do or are looking for new members.. Just drop me a line and we would be happy to include an article for you. As much as I hate to say it this early, but yes, Christmas is not that far away now. So if you are looking to plan a great night out to celebrate this Christmas, then look no further that Hatton Court Hotel, on the front cover, they run some great party nights (I can say that from experience!), but book quickly to reserve your space. Talking of celebrations, we are celebrating 10 years of the Abbey-Link this month! 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 if they are thinking of advertising with us, more details are on page 15. Remember our Sudoku competition on page 17, as always feel free to email me your entries in order to win two Cineworld tickets, to; sarah@thelinkdirectories.co.uk Have a great month Sarah.
