A heartfelt thank you from Simon I want to share the news of an exciting new chapter in the story of El Gato Negro: we’ll be bringing our award-winning food and drink to Manchester city centre in 2015. As some of you may be aware, the lease for our current building expires in 2015. This has led me to explore options for the future, and after careful consideration I believe I’ve found the perfect opportunity by opening a larger, better equipped restaurant in a prestigious site in central Manchester. As a result of this opportunity we have made the sad decision to close El Gato Negro in Ripponden at the end of 2014, so we can focus entirely on the Manchester restaurant. We will be saying a heartfelt, fond farewell on New Year’s Eve, celebrating with friends and family in what’s sure to be a memorable occasion. Bringing El Gato Negro to the heart of the city will allow us to grow; offering me the ability to showcase a broader selection of the dishes and wines I’m so passionate about, and it’ll give more people the chance to enjoy them. We will remain true to our roots, with the emphasis firmly on our acclaimed modern Spanish cooking, creating bold and exciting dishes. In more than nine successful years here in Ripponden we’ve made many friends, and have delighted in serving so many customers from both near and far. We hope to welcome many of those familiar faces to our new Manchester home when we open in mid 2015. I am very proud of the consistency and quality we’ve achieved, the support we have received from our loyal customers, the staff who have worked here, and the recognition we’ve earned. It’s exciting to build on what we’ve achieved so far, and believe the plans we have for El Gato Negro Manchester are very special, taking what we do to a new level. We would love you to remain in contact via our newsletter or social media as we’ll be sharing more news over the next few months, with some particular news for our friends and followers. I want to take this opportunity to thank you all so much for your support, your business and your enthusiasm. Finally, a special thanks to Rachel and the team: we’ve partnered with Go Local since they started, and many readers have hunted for our black cat in that time!

CONTENTS
Eds’ Letter The lead up to this Christmas is packed full of local events, festivals and markets, not least the Ripponden Xmas Fest.
Please do support your local traders and join in some of the local events, as well as being great fun, they put money back into our community instead of the multinationals.
This month we have no little black cat to find in the mag. We have worked with El Gato Negro restaurant for 9 years and launched the Go Local mag the same month the restaurant opened. So we’re especially sad to say ‘adiós’ to Simon and the team. He has been an asset to the village and a pleasure to work with. We wish him the best of luck in his move and hope to see him in El Gato Manchester. The final winner for the meal for two for November is Tony Palmer. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

1. Seasons Greetings! For the B2Bs amongst us, sending cards to customers is a long held tradition. Big is best, so stick your hand in your pocket and splash out on something memorable! 2. Mistletoe. Make sure your suppliers feel the love, too! Who knows, it may pay dividends in the future ;-) 3. Let it snow. Websites offer huge scope for a bit of tongue-in-cheek humour. Anything vaguely related to the time of year goes – from a dusting of snow to a badass Santa. Ask your website firm to hit you with some tinsel! 4. Don’t Be A Social Turkey. Tweet like a canary and make some noise on twitter. Share posts on Facebook and find out what opportunities January has in store. 5. Humbug! The roads may be icy and sales may be unpredictable, but on the up side, there’s always the Christmas Do to look forward to!! What can possibly go wrong there, kids!?

artSBridge 2014 This year’s artSBridge festival promises to be diverse, exciting and full of surprises. Between 6-14 December, a host of exciting events will take place in Sowerby Bridge… When you hear great music, part of the pleasure is in sharing the experience. Co-ordinator of ArtSBridge, Isolde Davey, is delighted to bring one of her favourite singers – Gabby Young – to Sowerby Bridge. With an astonishing voice, an astonishing mix of styles, an astonishing emotion, it’s a rare treat for the town. In the intimate setting of the former Stirk Inn, on the10th December, this promises to be a fantastic evening. A cabaret evening, inspired by a Martin Parr photograph, “Sowerby Bridge Mouse Club” offers a fantastic range of talent. With music, magic, stories, humour, displays, it will be a truly unique occasion. Then there is Liberté, a multi-discipline performance in Christ Church, that combines poetry, dance, film, music and performance. And Fine Bone China & Monster Bunnies, which sees two of the area’s most esteemed poets – Gaia Homes
& Steve Nash – meet for “poetry tennis”. And the ever-wonderful Greaves Taylor Gillon, acoustic trio, will entertain us with their uniquely enchanting sound. With fabulous exhibitions, more amazing performances, workshops for all, an arts trail, an arts market, poetry, film, philosophy, shadow puppetry, music theatre, local history, a literary quiz, storytelling, events for children, and much, much more, artSBridge promises a jam-packed and exciting week for Sowerby Bridge. For further details please go to our website www.artsbridge.co.uk and look out for our programme.

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!
It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Manager Andy Routledge feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps.
Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service the Ripponden, Rishworth, Barkisland, Norland, Sowerby, Mill Bank, Soyland & Sowerby Bridge areas & Andy is finding that his
approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve
done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Andy a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Benchmarking in the Ryburn Valley Ancient Benchmarks like this are to be found on structures throughout the Ryburn Valley The term benchmark, originates from the marks chiselled into stone structures, into which an angle-iron could be placed to form a "bench" for a levelling rod, thus ensuring it could be accurately repositioned to calculate the height above sea level relevant to other nearby benchmarked datum lines. `The benchmark’ is also a professionally accepted term for determining or measuring the quality of standards and performance.
Even though technology has overtaken levelling rods, new benchmarks are still appearing on buildings in our area, as a trademark of the quality standards of a local building company. “Our standards are high and our customers are pleased for us to carve our own discrete benchmark on completion of our new stonework, so look out for more of them appearing” says Robert Gear of Ryburn’s Benchmark Builders.
What our customers say... “We employed RJD, now Benchmark Builders to complete an extension to our property and were delighted with their work. They were hardworking, industrious and extremely conscientious, their timekeeping exemplary and their honesty such that we gave them full access to our home whilst we were absent. Their standard of work is of the highest quality and we would be happy for any prospective clients to come to our property to view the work for themselves.” Barry and Ann Birkby Huddersfield
