Funding success for new conference centre
W
ork on a new £25m conference centre at the Winter Gardens could start later this year, after the final tranche of funding was allocated in a Government announcement this morning. A £2.9m successful bid to the Coastal Communities Fund was unveiled today as part of £40m worth of funding in coastal towns across the country, meaning a green light for work to begin on the centre in the autumn, with a view to holding its first conferences in 2019. The dedicated new build venue will provide modern conferencing facilities including breakout rooms and exhibition spaces, complementing the current rooms such as the Empress Ballroom and the Opera House, which will allow the complex to host up to 7,000 delegates. The new conference centre is expected to bring major conferencing back to the resort, creating more jobs and boosting the local economy, with today’s news following an announcement in January that the centre had been allocated £15m from the Government’s Growth Deal 3, managed by the Lancashire Local Economic Partnership (LEP) . Cllr Simon Blackburn, Leader of Blackpool Council, said: “Today’s announcement is excellent news and is another step forward in turning this conference centre in to a reality. “Our bids to both the Coastal Communities Fund and the Growth Deal have been extremely strong and I am very glad that both of them have seen the positive impact that this will have on the town, creating more jobs and boosting our local economy.
“Major conferences in Blackpool bring thousands of delegates in the town centre, who in turn spend money in our local shops, restaurants and hotels, helping our businesses thrive and allowing them to take on new workers. “Now that funding is being allocated and the planning permission granted, I am keen that this work starts as soon as possible and we are already having conversations about attracting major conferences back to the resort ready for its re-opening in 2019.” The new centre is to be built on the site of the former car park on Leopold Grove with refurbishment works also unveiling the full exterior of the outside of the Empress Ballroom for the first time in years. Permission to demolish the derelict houses opposite the new conference centre is being sought, while planning permission has already been granted to a private investor to build a quality hotel over the road from the new centre. Blackpool Council has commissioned the plans from architects Bisset Adams, who previously worked on designing the refurbishment of Central Library in Blackpool, along with Max Fordham Mechanical and Electrical Engineers, Morgan Tucker Civil and Structural Engineers and Right Solution conference consultants. The brief was to create a high quality contemporary building which respected the historical and architectural significance of the rest of the complex, but which offers innovative solutions to the challenges of twenty first century conferencing, such as security, as well as providing an improved public realm and environmentally friendly build.

and its alternatives
Some people would have you believe that there is only one milk, and that is from a cow. But with the prevalence of IBS (irritable Bowel Syndrome), lactose intolerance and allergies, there is a lot of confusion about milk.
Dairy milk has been a subject of hysteria for a while now - it has divided the nation for decades. In the white corner we have the virtuous 1%-ters who only ever touch skimmed milk, while in the red corner defenders of full fat milk have been saying that it cannot be so bad if it comes straight from the cow at 4%, as nature intended. And stuck in the middle are the semi-skimmers, waiting to see who is right.
Well, now we know. The full fat milk defenders have been right all along, and finally the nation is listening.
Now that full fat milk has been exonerated, authorities are openly recommending that children should be drinking full fat milk, at least up to a certain age. Research also shows (pass the smelling salts!) that adults trying to lose weight tend to do better if they include some full fat milk and yoghurt in their diet. Of course, a lot of this is down to the fact that full fat milk leaves us feeling fuller for longer, and that keeps us away from the biscuit tin.
The truth is that skimmed, semi-skimmed or full fat, milk is a low fat food! Even full fat milk has only 4% fat, and in the world of nutrition anything below 10% is considered low fat. So unless you are drinking gallons of it, the fat amount is small and the biggest difference between the red top, green top and blue top milk is the taste. Compare this with the fat content of a sausage or a HobNob, and you will see what I mean. 20
ADVERTISE - Book Online www.link-mag.co.uk 0800 970 7687 or sales@link-mag.co.uk
Apart from the weight management benefits, milk is a great source of calcium and vitamin D, with both nutrients playing an important role in maintaining strong bones and teeth. It’s worth remembering that vitamin D is fat soluble – it means that we absorb more of it when we ingest it with fat, as nature has conveniently arranged it in the form of full fat milk.
Soya milk remains the most popular dairy milk substitute. It is made from soya beans so it’s actually a processed food but that doesn’t make it unhealthy, far from it - eating soya has been shown to benefit health in a number of ways. Just choose the non-sweetened variety, as many options have sugar added for improved flavour.
“milk is a great source of calcium and vitamin D” Having said that, some people suffer from a number of unpleasant symptoms due to genuine lactose intolerance as they lack the enzyme called lactase (lactase breaks down the natural sugar in dairy milk). While only a fraction of the UK population is affected, dairy intolerance is much more prevalent among the natives in Asia, Africa and South America.
Other alternatives include almond milk with its subtle nutty flavour of almonds; the naturally sweet rice milk, and also hemp milk with its high content of Omega 3 - all have become less expensive due to popular demand.
Recently, coconut milk has made something of a comeback, not least for its health benefits. It is packed with nutrients and although it is a little high in fat, it is the good kind so it provides a great addition to anyone’s diet, lactose intolerant or not. The unique taste of coconut will easily convince even the more reluctant palate, just ask anyone holding a glass of piña colada!
If you are among the unlucky lactose intolerant population, or simply don’t like the taste of dairy milk, things have come a long way since the powdery taste of soya milk, and there is a great of choice of other alternatives. Take goat’s milk, for instance. People with lactose intolerance are often able to drink it with no adverse effects. Okay, so the flavour is a little stronger than cow’s milk and it may take some getting used to, but it’s like learning to love olives or avocado – you may not like it the first time, but if you try again (and again), you’ll most likely grow to like it.

Pier Jam Announces Part 2 Return to Blackpool North Pier
H
ot off the heels of its spectacular Bank Holiday Sunday event on 30th April, Pier Jam is delighted to announce the second instalment of its summer long series.
Returning to the iconic Blackpool North Pier on Saturday 29th July, Pier Jam welcomes big hitters, Gorgon City, Shadowchild, Bugzy Malone, Mistajam, Redlight, Sonny Fodera, Josh Butler and Son of 8, to the bill across the outdoor stages delivering cuts of quality house, bass and garage music. From 2pm – 11pm stretched out to sea on the 500m long pier, Pier Jam has a vibe that’s unmatchable for miles around and is not to be missed. Tickets go on sale on Monday 8th May at 10am on www.skiddle.com Galloping through its third year of throwing boardshaking parties, Pier Jam will once again welcome 4,000 party people to cut loose under a warm sun in the open air, right by the sea. Known for their killer sound systems and always on-point bookings, these now famous all-day parties are nothing less than awe inspiring affairs, set against the stunning backdrop of the world famous Blackpool Tower. From Basement Jaxx to DJ E.Z and MK to Amine Edge & DANCE, Pier Jam stages big names and even bigger tunes. A huge selection of contemporary house heavyweights all line-up for the event on Saturday 29th July, and leading proceedings from the Black Butter Label is chart topping and crossover star, Gorgon City. His tracks like ‘Go All Night’ and ‘Zoom Zoom’ have been everywhere in recent times and are sure to sound massive under the sun. Joining him is Pier Jam favourite, Shadowchild, to bring the big booty shaking drums and rib-rattling synth lines that have made him a Dirtybird and Edible favourite. Manchester’s much loved grime MC Bugzy Malone will 24
also be on hand to drop some of his raw and edgy bars and plenty of the tracks he has put out on Ill Gotten Records, all of which have brought real freshness to the scene. Radio 1’s urban boss MistaJam will also play with his usual eclectic mix of bass heavy, attitude-laced tunes. And bringing a different angle to the party is Redlight, the man behind huge hits on Lobster Boy like ‘New Flows’ and ‘Here With Me’. For some deep but uplifting vocal house, look no further than Sonny Fodera, one of the most prolific and accomplished producers of recent years. His releases on Defected have made him an in-demand remixer and have seen him work with legends like Green Velvet many times. Add in another Defected man of the moment in tech house titan Josh Butler and hot house pair Son of 8—who are both Pier Jam debutants—and you have a line-up that packs a real punch. Presale tickets will be available to buy for £15 plus booking fee from 9am on Monday 8th May. To get this discounted price, clubbers must pre-register at www. skiddle.com/e/12968251. Standard tickets will follow with the on-sale time of 10am on Monday 8th May, starting at £20 + bf. For those wanting something extra, VIP tickets can be purchased for £35 + bf and come with the added bonuses of queue jump, access to the VIP arena for even more cutting-edge music, plus a private bar and toilets. Anyone who loves house music and a unique allday vibe to the party, should get on board with Pier Jam. To stay up to date with lineup and new events announcements, as well as competitions and access to pre-sale tickets, follow Pier Jam on Twitter https:// twitter.com/pierjamuk
