SEPTEMBER 2012 Contents Covering the FY8 postcode area.

LYTHAM ST ANNES Your FREE Local Community & Business Directory Hello and welcome to the latest edition of LINK Mag! Finally, the new football season is back underway. The phenomenal Olympic games might have kept us busy but we can’t wait to see the two local teams in action this term. Good luck to both the Seasiders and Cod Army, I’m sure you’ll both do us all proud!

The World Firework Championships return in September too, with pyrotechnic experts wowing locals and tourists alike in the skies above the promenade on 7, 14, 21 & 28 September. And don’t forget to see the best lights show in the world. The Illuminations switch on is 31 August 2012 and lasts for 66 nights. I wonder who will flick the switch this year! Our NEW business index is in this edition too. Designed to help you quickly and simply find the business you’re looking for at a glance, it can be found near the back of the magazine just inside from the classified pages. Congratulations to the winners of last month’s competitions. Dawson Jones of Fleetwood won our Where Am I? Competition, so well done - £50 is on its way to you! Also, Barbara Simpson won the James Jackson WIN Your MOT draw. A pat on the back to you both! Don’t forget, LINK-Magazine also offers competitive leaflet print and distribution for up to 96,000 homes and businesses across the Fylde Coast, as well as offering FREE ‘What’s On’ listings for most local events. LINK-Magazine is your local community & business directory.

Postcard from Lytham & St Annes This month we’re starting on an optimistic mood for an Indian Summer as we approach September! It was always boiling when I went back to school for the start of term, so let’s hope it will be in 2012. If you’re a teacher or involved with a local school please get in touch. We want to get the young people involved in the new term – some schools already are – and you can showcase your talents in a number of ways.

There’s a new Events Calendar on the Visit St Annes and Visit Lytham websites, so you can keep an eye on what’s happening across the Fylde Coast. If you belong to a community group by all means tell us your news and we’ll share it on the website. There are two websites for Fylde, www.visitStAnnes. info and www.visitLytham.info. You can subscribe for email updates to make sure that you don’t miss out!

If you’ve got anything to tell us just email jane@theRabbitPatch.co.uk or ring 07932 143431.

The Open Golf has been and gone, with a fantastic impact on the local economy and an impressive amount of TV coverage which made the area and Fylde Coast come across really well. It did for Lytham what the Olympics are currently doing for London at the time of writing. There are all kinds of articles about the Fylde Coast on the Visit Fylde Coast website – you can find the sections on all of the sites. So for things about pets, cooking (and a great recipe for rice pudding plus a funny tale to go with it), house and home and more besides, take a look.

Non-surgical treatments have become increasingly popular for both women and men over the past decade. A browse on the internet can leave you confused and baffled as to which clinic, or treatment, to choose to improve your appearance. By far the commonest non-surgical treatments offered by most clinics are anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers. Anti-wrinkle injections are mainly used to treat the upper face and to improve expression lines on the forehead, brow and around the eyes. It works by relaxing the muscle in these areas before softening the lines that have formed over the years. With regular treatment, these 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 filler 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 is a huge range of branded fillers, but the most well known is Restylane - the most trusted and recommended filler on the market. Fillers are injected along the facial lines to help lift and smoothen their appearance. Essentially they replace the hyaluronic acid in the skin that has been lost with age. 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. A fully qualified medical doctor performs all treatments. Visit our website at www.slmedical.co.uk for more information and testimonials from just a few of our clients.

Animal trainer David Aspin is perhaps best known for entertaining as Professor McGonagall – with a little help from his magic budgie circus! Then, two years ago, he launched Angel Doves, an emotive, spiritual dove releasing service with the aim of helping others share such a beautiful experience at all types of celebrations and occasions.

www.angeldovesfylde.co.uk

Angel Doves

...for all those special occasions Weddings, Civil Partnerships Christenings, Birthdays Anniversaries, Funerals Openings and many more

The effect of seeing the doves as they’re released really is a beautiful sight to behold. As they pair for life they are a symbol of fidelity, love, spirituality and fertility. The white dove is also an emotional token of heavenly love, and their presence is very significant for both joyous and mournful occasions. David cares lovingly for his 17 adult and 2 chick doves. Free flying during the day, they are very well trained and are available for photographs before their release.

Call David on 07788 166 984 for more information.

Early poll results show Open satisfaction Interim results of a Fylde Council “opinion poll” show widespread public satisfaction with arrangements made during the recent Open Golf. Council bosses are still awaiting the results of a Sheffield Hallam University study into the economic benefits of the 181,300 golf visitors last month. In the meantime they are number-crunching the views expressed by almost 100 Fylde residents – so far – in a survey designed to garner public feedback. The figures show: A total of 71% said their overall experience of The Open was “good” (17%) or “very good” (54 %), compared to 21% who said their experience was “poor” (6%) or “very poor” (15%). 53% rated information about car-parking as “good” or “very good”, compared to 29% who rated it “poor” or “very poor”; 46% said tourism information was “good” or “very good”, compared to 13% who rated it “poor” or “very poor”; 52% rated information on tourist-related events, such as the accompanying culture festival, as “good” or “very good”, compared to 20% who rated it “poor” or “very poor”. The tourism-related events themselves were rated “good” or “very good” by 62% of people, compared to 16%who rated them “bad” or “very bad”. 44% of people got their information about the golf and the golf’s impact on the borough through local newspapers. Only one in 10 people say they didn’t receive any information from any source.

Organisation of refuse collection was rated “good” or “very good” by 62% of respondents, compared with 6% who rated it “poor” or “very poor”. Some bin collections were made earlier than usual to avoid congestion later in the morning. 59 % of people said that golf visitors caused “minimal disruption” or “no disruption” to traffic, compared to 27% who said traffic disruption was “major”. Councillor Sue Fazackerley, Fylde Council’s tourism chief, said: “We don’t expect the university study results until late September. They will show how much the area benefited financially from all the visitors. We anticipate the figures eagerly. “The area was really buzzing in the golf week and we can confidently say that golf visitors are big-spending visitors who will have benefitted the local economy. Perhaps more important is the legacy – Lytham and St Annes were mentioned in a positive light in the global media and we look forward to many people visiting in the future as a result. “Most important, however, are our residents. This survey is still ongoing and, so far, it shows widespread satisfaction with the golf and its impact on their lives. “It is an important survey because everyone has a right to speak – and not everyone was happy with all aspects. We will take a close look at all the results when the survey closes in three weeks – we can only improve for the future if we listen carefully to what people said. “I urge people to take part in the survey, whatever their views are.” The survey can be completed at: www.research. net/s/opensurvey2012

Hundreds of people made the most of a special open day for National Allotments Week at Lawson Road last weekend.

Andy Percival, Chairman at Lawson Rd Allotments, said: “The open day was a great success and I would like to thank everyone who was involved. Community events such as this are extremely valuable to local people.”

Despite a wet summer the sun shone on Lawson Rd as the crowds enjoyed a superb day around the allotments. The event, which was opened by Cllr Graham Cain, along with both ward councillors for Marton, Cllr Debbie Coleman and Cllr Jim Elmes allowed people to come and view some of the allotments, enjoy home made cakes from the Victorian café, as well as purchasing some fresh grown produce from the plots. Cllr Cain, Blackpool Council’s Cabinet Member with responsibility for allotments, said: “Allotment open days are a great way of showing the community the hard work that is going on at these plots, and the goods that they are growing.”

If you are interested in finding out more about allotments or to join the waiting list for a plot, please call 765693.

Our team “always” listen to what our Motability customer requires, knowing that the right choice of vehicle will make your day to day driving a pleasure, giving you the freedom and comfort to enjoy many hours of happy motoring.

Free 29 Point Visual Healthcheck by Fully Qualified Ford and Mazda technicians. Our trained technicians will run an expert eye over your vehicle. They’ll check 29 different points, and provide a written report with an explanation of any findings. You’ll receive a competitive estimate upfront for any work needed, but you’re under no obligation to have it done. To help you decide, the written report grades each element of the healthcheck according to the following colour codes. Red items - Require urgent attention. Amber items - Some concerns registered. If not rectified, these items need monitoring to ensure safety and/or reliability and to avoid additional costs.
