Committed to easing the pain of moving “Buying or selling a home can be one of the most stressful events in life. If the conveyancing process is not properly managed, then this can lead to further expense and delay - even the loss of your sale or purchase. At Fylde Law, we make sure your instruction is thoroughly and efficiently managed from start to finish. We won’t cut corners and we won’t lose you money. We will steer you round the pitfalls, making sure you’re fully informed and we will do it for one of the most competitive prices on the market. Our Conveyancing team is run by experienced solicitors who are committed to the highest standards of client care. We have developed our unique ‘Smartmove Conveyancing System’ to make sure that you are informed at every step of the way.
We will update you by text message at key stages of your transaction. You won’t need to phone us to find out if contracts have been exchanged, or if your house keys are ready to be collected. We will send you a text the moment we find out. We will also update you by letter, email and telephone regularly throughout the process and will always be on hand to take your calls. Our clients love our friendly, speedy, personal service and transparent fixed pricing structures and as conveyancing specialists we can also help you with a range of property related matters such as Re-mortgages, Transfer of Equity, Deed of Gift and Part Exchanges.” Kevin Looby Property Solicitor, Fylde Law

Blackpool News
Marton School’s Help for Heroes Fundraising Marton Primary School and Nursery welcomed members of Weeton Barracks and a representative from Help for Heroes for a very special morning assembly where the school presented a cheque to the charity. As part of a wider curricular activity where the children learned about heroes and people who inspire them, the school staff made cakes which were sold to parents and guests as part of a special fund raising coffee and cake afternoon which helped raise £375 for ‘Help for Heroes’. During the morning visit, the children learned about the valuable work the ‘Help for Heroes charity’ undertakes to support members of the armed forces and their families. The soldiers of the Second Battalion of the Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment visited classes and welcomed questions from the children as well as shared stories about their life in the armed forces. Sgt Major Aaron Dack said, “The children had some great questions for us and it was a pleasure to share our experiences with them and perhaps show a different side to life in the armed forces. The children were really enthusiastic and well behaved. It is so important to engage with the local community as it builds on the military covenant which links military society to civilian society” 14
The whole event was organised by Mrs S Jones at Marton Primary School who was inspired by Blackpool man, Christian Knock who in 2012 walked over 8,000 miles around the cost of Britain in aid of Help for Heroes. Mrs Jones said, “I was truly amazed by the story of Christian who spent nearly two years of his life walking around the coast, his story made me think of ways I could do my bit to help. I’m really grateful to our team at school for all their hard work in helping me with this, and indeed the children and parents too.” Marton Primary Head teacher Ruth Coupe said “It was a fantastic opportunity to hear real life stories and learn about such inspirational characters as well as raise money for such a worthy cause. Our school would like to thank our visitors for such a valuable and worthy visit to our school. We would also like to thank our parents who supported the school and the fundraising event.”

Blackpool News
(L-R) Morgan and Bobbie Porteous-Byrne, 8 and 11, are happy with their tickets!
New Promenade box office captures Mamma Mia! excitement A new seafront box office has been set up to help ride the wave of excitement that Mamma Mia! has created in Blackpool. There are now just two weeks before the world famous show begins its 12-week summer run at the resort’s Opera House. And now, with tickets still proving popular, an extra concession has been created to cater to popular demand. It’s up and running now near to the Comedy Carpet and just south of The Blackpool Tower and will also sell tickets to some of of Blackpool’s top attractions at discounted prices. It will be open from noon until 4pm with expanded opening hours of noon until 8pm after 19 July. Cllr Graham Cain, Blackpool Council’s cabinet member for leisure and tourism, said: ‘This is just another way in which people can get their hands on tickets for Mamma Mia! The momentum the show has generated is fantastic and you can really sense the excitement building in the resort. From hoteliers and their visitors to local people and their families and friends, this is the show that everyone wants to see. We’re incredibly proud to have brought this international phenomenon to Blackpool and I would urge everyone who loves the town to get behind it and go and see what all the fuss is about.’ As well as selling tickets to Mamma Mia! the temporary box office will also sell tickets to all 20
Merlin attractions (The Blackpool Tower, Madame Tussauds, The Sea Life Centre) as well as tickets for Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Illuminasia, Ripley’s Believe It or Not and Blackpool Zoo. Tickets for this year’s Illuminations Switch-On Festival Weekend concert which features singing superstar, Rebecca Ferguson, amongst other top names, are also available priced at just £20 for access to both the Saturday and Sunday events as part of an early bird offer up to 30 June. Mamma Mia! is described as ‘the ultimate feel-good musical’. Judy Craymer’s ingenious vision uses Abba’s timeless songs to help tell an enchanting tale of family and friendship unfolding on a Greek island paradise. To date, it has been seen by more than 50 million people in 37 productions in 14 different languages grossing more than $2 billion at the box office. Mamma Mia! The Movie is the highest grossing musical film and it is estimated that one in four households in the UK has the DVD. It is one of only five musicals to have run for more than 10 years both on Broadway and in the West End, and in 2011, it became the first Western musical ever to be staged in Chinese in the People’s Republic of China.
