A bit about Dear Neighbours,
“The Tuff leyley-Link” Link”
Welcome to the October edition of your Tuffley Link. We seem to have been fairly lucky with the weather during September, but I’m sure as we go through October it will start to feel a lot more like Autumn. How many of us will get through the month without turning the heating on I wonder! If you are thinking about getting new double glazing this year to keep you warm and cosy through the Winter, C&L Windows, on page 13 have a new show room in Gloucester, why not pop down and take a look. This is one of my favourite times of year, the changes in the colours of the trees, the days can still feel quite pleasant, and the good dramas are back on the telly! Will we all still be watching The Bake Off this time next year though?! However, if you are looking to get out and about over the coming months the James Hopkins Trust are hosting a variety of events, a Charity Auction in October, see the opposite page and a Christmas Extravaganza in November, more details on page 19. They will be great events and a great way to help raise money for a local charity . As usual we have a variety of local clubs and businesses promoting their monthly events on pages 18& 19 including the Cotswold Model Railway Club who are promoting their show that is taking place on the 22nd & 23rd October. We are currently looking for a couple of extra distributors to help us deliver the Tuffley Link for a few hours once a month, this would suit someone looking for their first paid job, see our advert on page 16. If you have a business and with Christmas now creeping up on us (sorry!), you may be thinking about advertising any Christmas promotions or events. Well let us help you get into 1,000’s of local homes over November and December. We have a great Countdown to Christmas Offer that may interest you on page 19. Congratulations to Carol Willers, for winning the Sudoku, Cineworld tickets will be on their way out to you. To be in with a chance to win Cineworld Tickets, see page 21. Please feel free to email me your Sudoku entries if you so wish: sarah@thelinkdirectories.co.uk Have a great month, and Happy Halloween! Sarah.

LOCAL NEWS & INFORMATION TALK TO YOUR COUNCILLORS
WE ARE HERE TO HELP!! Nigel and Steve are always happy for residents to raise concerns with them. Steve explains “ between us we have over 30 years experience as Gloucester City councillors and have been involved in many aspects of the work of the Council including environmental and planning matters. At least half of the concerns we deal with are matters for the County Council but we do our best to resolve these as well.” Nigel adds “most recently we have been involved in trying to move a yellow road salt bin in Sandford Way , removing weeds and grasses from alleyways and roadside gulleys in Windsor Drive and a clearly abandoned vehicle in Holmleigh Road opposite Grange School .” “Residents have also contacted us about inconsiderate parking , speeding along Grange Road and personal planning issues.” concludes Steve. Should anyone wish to become involved in what we do perhaps with a view to becoming a councillor then we will be happy to discuss this with them.
Steve Morgan can be reached on 01452 520534 or Steve.morgan@gloucester.gov.uk and Nigel Hanman on 01452 303566 or Scottish Dancing at Kings School, Gouda Way, Gloucester . Tuesdays 7.30pm - 10.00pm.

Film Releases for October 2016 7th October 2016
The Girl on the Train The Girl on the Train is the story of Rachel Watson's life post-divorce. Every day, she takes the train in to work in New York, and every day the train passes by her old house. The house she lived in with her husband, who still lives there, with his new wife and child. As she attempts to not focus on her pain, she starts watching a couple who live a few houses down -- Megan and Scott Hipwell. She creates a wonderful dream life for them in her head, about how they are a perfect happy family. And then one day, as the train passes, she sees something shocking, filling her with rage. The next day, she wakes up with a horrible hangover, various wounds and bruises, and no memory of the night before. She has only a feeling: something bad happened. Then come the TV reports: Megan Hipwell is missing. Rachel becomes invested in the case and trying to find out what happened to Megan, where she is, and what exactly she herself was up to that same night Megan went missing. 14th October 2016

Junior, the company's top delivery stork, is about to be promoted when he accidentally activates the Baby Making Machine, producing an adorable and wholly unauthorized baby girl. Desperate to deliver this bundle of trouble before the boss gets wise, Junior and his friend Tulip, the only human on Stork Mountain, race to make their first-ever baby drop - in a wild and revealing journey that could make more than one family whole and restore the storks' true mission in the world. 21st October 2016
Jack Reacher :Never Go Back Jack Reacher must uncover the truth behind a major government conspiracy in order to clear his name. On the run as a fugitive from the law, Reacher uncovers a potential secret from his past that could change his life forever.
Trolls From the creators of Shrek comes the most smart, funny, irreverent animated comedy of the year, DreamWorks' Trolls. This holiday season, enter a colorful, wondrous world populated by hilariously unforgettable characters and discover the story of the overly optimistic Trolls, with a constant song on their lips, and the comically pessimistic Bergens, who are only happy when they have trolls in their stomach. 27th October 2016
