A bit about “AbbeyAbbeyAbbeyAbbey----LinkLinkLinkLink”

Dear Neighbours,

Happy New Year to you all. I hope you all had a fun filled and festive Christmas and are now starting to think about what 2012 may bring? It’s the time of year when we all start out with good intentions and make those New Years Resolutions and then majority of us seem to break them again by the end of January!! Well if you are determined to make 2012 your year………...personally or within business, then maybe we can help just a little.

May be you are looking to go into 2012 with a big health kick, if so perhaps you want to give Spirit Health Club a try. Based in the Holiday Inn in Barnwood, if you take along the advert on page 14, you will receive a 5 day free trial. Alternatively if the gym is not your thing, we have 2 local Community Centres advertising on pages 2 and 39 and both offer a variety of fitness and other social classes for all ages.

For those of you who may be planning a wedding or other large celebration during 2012, we have a range of photographers in the magazine, all their page numbers can be found in the index, inside the back cover.

Are you in business, are you fed up of hearing all the doom and gloom that’s surrounding us? If you are looking to make 2012 your best year ever and would love to spend it with positive forward thinking like minded business owners, then can I please recommend that you visit www.entrepreneurs-circle.co.uk, see page 22, and take out the 2 month trial, it will be the best kick start to the new year your business has ever had.

How to Play

Fill in the grid so that eve-ry row, every column, and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 through 9, with no repetition!

You solve the puzzle with reasoning and logic - there’s no maths involved and no adding up.

It's fun. It's challenging. It's addictive!
