Editors Letter

Welcome to our NOVEMBER edition of LINK-Magazine.

Hope you had a great Halloween and attended an organised display on Bonfire Night especially if you supported your local event. November now brings us just over a month away from Christmas already how time passes.

LINK-Magazine is the only FREE magazine that delivers to all of FY5 and will always be free, I even put my face in it as we are confident and proud that we offer a good service and prepared to put my name on it as well and yes that’s me below. We got a compliment as we often do this month off Judith at First Class Learning thanking us for our professional service and taking care of her marketing without the jargon or pressure.

We are working on our December and January editions now so don’t forget to send us your details for Christmas and New Year events, to let people know what going on in advance. LINK will get the message out where other media can’t.

Congratulations LINK-Spotter Sandra Clark who won our ‘Where am I?’ Competition. £50 is on its way to you. Mrs Spur for her free MOT and Mr Smith for winning free petrol at James Jackson Garage.

James started his career in the RAF, where he trained as a motor mechanic. On leaving the RAF, he bought his first garage on Station Road in Poulton in 1993. He steadily built up his business and then expanded into larger premises, when he moved to Fleetwood in 2002 by buying Central Garage on Albany Road.

He has built a team of thirteen dedicated people offering a high standard of customer care from the moment you arrive through to delivery of your vehicle. They offer a wide range of services including MOT testing (class 4, 7 and motorbikes), fixed-price servicing, diagnostics, computerised wheel alignment & tyres, air-conditioning checks, batteries, etc. They also offer free courtesy cars, and even have a courtesy van for commercial customers!

James has a simple philosophy, “We take good care of each and every customer that comes our way”. This ideal runs right through the company where there is a strong emphasis on customer care. Lesley and Debbie are on hand to take your call with access to highly trained mechanics, the team can assist and advise you every step of the way.

All prices at the garage are fully inclusive, with no hidden extras. James working practice is to be honest and reliable at all times. James said “We describe all work required in simple terms, no jargon. We always look for the best and most cost-effective solution to meet your repair needs. We never start work until the job has been quoted and approved by the customer”.

Need tyres? They have a large range of tyres in stock to cater for all makes, models and to meet all budgets. James has also invested in a ‘Nitrogen Tyre Inflation’ machine which is guaranteed to increase the efficiency of your vehicle and reduce your fuel consumption. James said “At Central Garage, we are always looking for products and services that we can offer our customers to help reduce the cost of their motoring”. The Nitrogen Tyre Inflation machine is just one such way in which a little investment from the customer can prove long term benefits.

James Jackson’s Central Garage is one of the only local garages where you can still have your car filled up by an attendant! James explained “We recognise that some of our customers find it difficult to fill the car themselves and like our ‘old-fashioned’ approach to fuelling cars. That is why we offer this service”. James said “I’ve been in business now for 18 years with many customers that have been with me right from the start. But I like to think that although we’ve expanded, we are large enough to cope but small enough to care”.

James and his family now live in Thornton Cleveleys, where both his wife and himself were brought up. James spends much of his spare time in Fleetwood though, where on a Saturday afternoon you’ll find him at Highbury stadium cheering on Fleetwood Town FC along with the Cody Army.

James Jackson’s Central Garage is situated just a stone’s throw from the ground down Albany Road, just off Poulton Road. James and his team would like to thank all their customers both old and new for their continued support, and look forward to seeing you soon.

Come and help your MP to clean up! Rossall Beach Residents & Community Group invite you to a special Sunday beach clean on 13 November from 2-4pm.

This event is in addition to the normal monthly beach cleans, held every four weeks on the beach off North/Rossall Promenade, specially scheduled at the weekend in response to requests from people who can’t attend mid-week.

MP for Blackpool North and Cleveleys, Paul Maynard, is a big supporter of this pro-active community group and is looking forward to rolling up his sleeves and getting stuck in, in the name of local pride and environmental awareness.

‘The majority of rubbish is washed in to Cleveleys by the sea, and the Rossall Beach Group do a fantastic job all year round, not just in cleaning the beach but with everything else that they do to make the area a better experience for residents and visitors’ said Paul.

All equipment provided, so come along and enjoy a productive hour of fresh air, and good clean fun. You don’t need to get dirty, litter pickers and gloves will be provided.

Without a Will - a number of people may be qualified to apply to handle your affairs. You will not be able to make any individual gifts and your property will be distributed by a fixed formula, not necessarily entirely to your spouse. The process is likely to be lengthy, stressful and expensive. If both parents die, any children aged under 18 will be the responsibility of the local authority, not your family.

With a Will - your affairs will be handled by the person you have chosen to carry out your instructions. The process is quicker, easier and invariably less expensive. You can appoint a guardian to care for your children.

Making a Will does not need to be painful, complicated, expensive or life-threatening.

Family Wills have been working in the Fylde since 1989 and have thousands of satisfied clients. We are qualified, regulated by the Institute of professional Willwriters and work to a Code of Practice endorsed by the government’s Office of Fair Trading. We are also qualified to provide Lasting Power of Attorney and Advance Decisions (Living Wills). We offer fixed price home-visits at a time to suit you and a simple guarantee - if you are not happy when we have written your Will, you will owe us nothing.

SWEET TASTE OF DOUBLE SUCCESS FOR TWELVE

TWELVE Restaurant & Lounge Bar has retained its coveted Michelin Bib Gourmand status and its prestigious 2AA Rosettes for 2012. It is the eighth year that the award-winning Fylde coast restaurant has held Michelin Bib Gourmand status and the fifth year it has been awarded 2AA Rosettes.

Twelve is one of only two establishments in Lancashire to be awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand, which is increasingly becoming appreciated as diners seek out restaurants that offer good food and good value.

It passed inspectors’ high standards to retain the award which recognises the provision of good food at moderate prices.The Michelin guide to the British Isles has been published early in October 2011 instead of January 2012 to bring it in line with the release dates of the other global publications.

According to the AA, the long-established Rosette scheme for restaurants recognises successful cooking at different levels across the UK. Only establishments that aim for and achieve higher standards, better consistency, greater precision and attention to the selection of quality ingredients are awarded 2AA Rosettes.

It is the only restaurant on the Fylde coast to have 2AA Rosettes.

Caroline Upton, Front of House Proprietor at Twelve Restaurant & Lounge Bar, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have retained both our Michelin Bib Gourmand status and our 2AA Rosettes; they are much sought after accolades and send out a clear message to diners they can be assured of high standards at Twelve.”

We’ve had some bad weather on our coast and it was even too windy for the first day of the BKSA national kite surfing competition which returned to Princes Way for the second time this October. The team managed to compete on the second and third day drawing sportspeople to our shore from all over the UK, and enjoyed Beat Night at SubZero instead of their usual barbecue!

As the summer season comes to a close, Cleveleys is getting ready for winter with the Light up a Life Christmas festival on 24th November. Join our primary schools along with Tom Bright and the Jack and the Beanstalk pantomime characters from Thornton Little Theatre, plus the skating stars of ‘SubZero The Ice Show’. Meet at 3.45pm behind SubZero for a glo-stick parade, choirs and singing and the lighting of the Christmas tree.

A small group of people are trying to make it easier for community groups and performers to appear in Cleveleys to create an ongoing street entertainment destination. If you are interested in performing or joining in and

helping just get in touch with Jane, details below.

In 1982 they joined the newly formed British Hockey League (BHL) which has replaced the three top flight regional leagues in the United

Kingdom, to form one top flight league. In 1982-83 they finished second.

The Seagulls then joined the newly created second tier of the BHL, The British Hockey League Division One. In their first season in the First Division, 1983-84 they finished in sixth place out of eleven teams. The following season was more successful as the Seagulls finished in third place.

The 1986-87 seasons saw the Seagulls finish in the lower half of the Division One table, the 11th out of sixteen teams.

In 1993, Ice Hockey came to an end in Blackpool after 42 years, because the rink at the Pleasure Beach was considered too small to host competitive ice hockey. For a short while the Seagulls name was retained as the club and some of its players moved to the Blackburn Arena. But within a couple of years the Seagulls name was dropped completely.

Now twenty years after the disband, Simon Pearce (Head Coach) alongside old Seagull Gary Shearman, the Seagulls have been reborn with a new team in the brand new Sub Zero Arena in Cleveleys. LINK-Magazine was asked by Adam Bradley who works at Wyre Building Supplies about sponsorship and as we already sponsor two local football teams Fleetwood Gym and Bispham Junior Football Federation, we thought why not sponsor on ice! Martin Gardner the proprietor of MSG Media Ltd which runs LINK-Magazine said “It’s great that a successful local product like LINK-Magazine that supports local business with a cost effective advertising media and allows free publication of local events and charities is now also putting back into the local community by supporting grass roots sports”. “We hope our success will rub off on the Wyre Seagulls and wish them great success for the coming year as we know what it’s like to have a great team together”. We are a true local business run by local people, helping the local economy and the local community at all levels”

SEAGULLS ICE HOCKEY IS BACK ON THE COAST!!

LINK-Magazine Proud to Sponsor The Wyre Seagulls Ice Hockey Team

The Seagulls were formed in 1951 and played in the Midland Intermediate League from 1951 to 1955. In the 1955-56 seasons they lost just one match all year. In the 1960’s with no official leagues in the UK ‘non-league’ ice hockey continued with mini-tournaments competed for at the ice rinks of Blackpool.

Non Surgical Cosmetic Treatments

Non Surgical treatment has become increasingly popular for both women and men over the past decade. Indeed a troll through the internet can leave you confused and baffled as to which clinic to choose and what treatments to choose help improve your appearance. I have chosen the two commonest non surgical treatments offered by most clinics, that is, Botox and Dermal fillers.

Botox (anti-wrinkle injection) is mainly used to treat the upper face and improve expression lines on the forehead, brow and around the eyes. It works by relaxing the muscle in these areas, hence soften the lines formed over the years. With regular treatment lines can actually disappear. Indeed there are a number of different brands of anti-wrinkle injections but they all essentially work in the same way.

Dermal fillers on the other hand is generally used to treat the lower part of the face especially lines around the nose, mouth, upper lip and chin areas. Dermal fillers are also used to give volume and shape to both upper and lower lips. There are also a huge range of branded fillers but the most well know is Restylane. Fillers are injected along the facial lines to help lift and smoothen their appearance. Essentially they replace the hyaluronic acid in the skin lost with age. Results can be very user dependent so make sure you choose a fully qualified practitioner.

At SL Medical we take the time to understand and address our client’s needs and expectations before taking any decision to treat. That is why we offer all our clients a free no obligation consultation and provide expert advice on the range of treatments we offer. All treatments are performed by a fully qualified doctor.

Paul Gailey ‘Diary of a local Councillor’

Paul Galley is a Councillor for Anchorsholme in Blackpool and each month he writes a

weekly diary of what he has been up to.

Friday: One of the nicest parts of being a Councillor is I get to meet lots of different and interesting people. Today I was invited to go to Anchorsholme Primary School to give a talk to a group of children aged between eight and eleven years old about debating and our political system. I described how the Council operates and what a Councillor does. It was a pleasure to be asked and meet such well behaved children and it was inspiring to see how interested the children were in politics and what good speakers they are. Following the visit I’m going to organise a trip to the Town Hall for the children and organise a debate for them there so they can gain some experience of debating in the Council Chamber as I’m sure we will have some Councillor’s coming from this group of young people in the future.

Saturday: Today I had what I call a “dot the i’s and cross the t’s day”, a day where I catch up with all my emails and plan for the week ahead, one of those days which is really productive because you have time to do lots of smaller jobs which if ignored soon become big jobs.

Sunday: I love Sunday mornings as it’s the day that my girlfriend and I go to church. We attend Anchorsholme Methodists Church which is a really friendly church and if anyone likes a good sing and a cup of tea with friendly people I would recommend the 10.30am service on Sunday. Anchorsholme is blessed with four really good churches. As everyone knows we have so few public buildings in the Anchorsholme, the four churches play a key role in bringing people together. In the afternoon I took some telephone calls from residents who are concerned about the number of camper vans that are parking on the prom, making it hard for local people to park their cars there. Councillor Tony Williams and myself have lobbied the council for a long time about getting some parking signs on the prom in the area in front of people’s houses, so hopefully by the time you read this, those signs will be installed. Our plan should allow the best of both worlds, camper vans to park in front of Anchorsholme Park and cars to park in the area where the houses are, that way everyone wins.

Monday: I am involved with the local A.C.T (Achieving Communities Together) group so this morning I attended a meeting to discuss some issues regarding our Open Day in October. ACT is really close to my heart as I want to unite all the community groups and encourage more people to join them and give their time to help their neighbours. Anchorsholme has a really good community spirit and there is nothing more rewarding than helping

other people. Following that meeting I went to see a local resident who is involved in the Judicial Review that is being held over the closure of the Lauderdale Avenue tram crossing. We are waiting to see if we will gain legal aid or if we will push the case through ourselves with our own legal advisor giving his time for free. Very much a case of watch this space, but we won’t give up without a fight.

Tuesday: Today was a quiet day, so I spent the day working at my recruitment agency. In the afternoon I received some good news about the road surface on Redeswood Avenue in that it is to be fully repaired and resurfaced. Councillor Tony Williams and myself have been lobbying to get this road properly repaired for along time, so I’m over the moon about this. I’ve set myself some ambitious targets over the next four years from planting flowers, trees, improving the parks, setting up community groups, installing street lights on the alley way between Idlewood Place and Sevenoaks Drive and getting Redeswood fully repaired is one of them, so I’m very pleased. In the evening I held the monthly Friends of Eastpines Park meeting which is a great chance to discuss the park and meet up with some fantastic people. We have planned our Christmas Fair for Saturday December 3rd from 12pm - 4pm. If anyone wants to donate anything for the raffle prizes please do contact me.

Wednesday: In the morning I went to St Teresa’s to help out with our bingo morning. I love calling the bingo and our little group is growing all the time, again anyone is welcome (it’s between 10am and 12pm at St Teresa’s Church Hall). In the afternoon I attended a meeting with the “Call In” committee at the Town Hall about the Lauderdale Crossing. The Call In Committee is Blackpool Council’s final place of appeal against any decision made by the Council Executive. I spoke first on why the crossing shouldn’t be closed. Unfortunately the Call In Committee voted to uphold the decision to close the crossing, which leaves us with one final card left to play and that is to seek a judicial review, which I will keep everyone posted about. In the evening I attended the local P.A.C.T meeting which is a great chance to talk to local residents and local police officers about crimes in our neighbourhood and what we are doing to solve them. If ever you have any issues with crimes or anti social behaviour issues let me know as we have a really good Community Police Officer in PC David Clarke, he really is a good man, a very good police officer and someone who really cares.

Thursday: Councillor Tony Williams and I are in the process of producing our first newsletter since the election. We aim to produce around four newsletters a year. It’s important to keep local residents up to date with what we are achieving and what we aiming to do in the future, so am pleased to be finally rolling the newsletter out. In the evening I held our surgery at All Saints Church. If anyone is interested in attending we hold our surgery on the first Thursday of the month between 6pm and 7pm.Whilst I encourage everyone to call or email me or stop me in the street if you see me, I thought a monthly surgery would be good as it gives another means for people to contact me if they have any concerns about anything.

Many thanks Paul Galley - Councillor for Anchorsholme
