Free Valuations to the Public

by Lockdales Auctioneers A special antiques and collectables valuation event will be taking place soon in your area. The experts of Lockdales Auctioneers will be providing free valuations to the public on Thursday 9th March, 10am to 3pm, at The Imperial Hotel, North Promenade, Blackpool, Lancashire, FY1 2HB (free car parking on-site subject to availability).

There will be experts providing valuations on the following types of collectables: Coins (including British & World, sovereigns, Krugerrands, Royal Mint commemoratives & proof sets), stamps, banknotes, medals & militaria, antiques, clocks, watches, jewellery, pens, gold, silver, pre-1900 documents/books & maps, vintage comics, vintage toys, cigarette-cards, postcards, pre-1960 sporting programmes & tickets, scientific instruments, swords, bayonets & antique firearms. No appointment is necessary at this event, simply turn up with your items and the valuers will be happy to see you.

Members of the public will have the option, if they wish, to consign their goods to auction (subject to

terms & conditions). Cash purchase offers are also available. Valuations will be provided free of charge, with no obligation. High quality illustrated catalogues from previous auctions will be given away on a complimentary basis in order for the public to get a better idea of the services available.

These valuation days have proven to be very popular in the past, and we have conducted hundreds of them across the UK. Some of the best items we have auctioned were brought to us at these events, such as two pieces of Russian 17th century enamelled silverware, a bowl and a lidded pot, which we later sold on behalf of the owners for over ÂŁ75,000.

If you have any questions feel free to contact Lockdales’ Martlesham offices: 01473 627110, sales@lockdales.com. For further information see our website www.lockdales.com

Maynard might be looking a little smug.

BP Insurance Brokers Get on the road with confidence Car insurance isn’t an optional extra - it’s a legal requirement, with hefty penalties if you’re caught without it. At the end of the day, driving a car puts you in charge of a huge fast-moving missile, so you have to be protected against your liability if you’re in an accident. That’s one instance where car insurance can be more than helpful.

As with so many things, it’s easier to be prepared than to try to deal with the consequences afterwards.

Thankfully, car insurance can be tailored to suit the vehicle you drive, and the way you drive it. Lancashire firm BP Insurance Brokers have access to a wide range of car insurance policies, making it easier than you might think to get the right cover.

As an independent broker, they aren’t limited to specific big-name insurance providers, so you might be surprised at the variety of policies on offer.

As well as the type of car you drive, it’s essential to think about the type of cover you’re looking for. Third party insurance will only cover you for injuries to others and damage to their property, whereas Comprehensive cover will include damage to your own vehicle & possibly glass & other benefits as well. Consider your circumstances and be sure to check into the options - you might be surprised at the differences in costs. Of course, car insurance isn’t just about covering you in the event of an accident; if your car is stolen, damaged by fire or vandalised, the right policy could save you loads.

Organising your car insurance should be as much a part of running a car as filling up with fuel and checking the tyres. The team at BP Insurance Brokers will help you arrange a policy that gives you peace of mind, so drop by at one of their branches, call 01253 393106, or visit bpib.co.uk for more details.

But then he has just got a fantastic deal on his car insurance.

There are many different aspects to car insurance, all of which play a role in the price and range of your cover.

Traditionally, the experience gleaned by older drivers means they’re likely to get a better deal… but this could be outweighed by running a highperformance super car. Likewise, using your car for pottering around 148 Victoria Road West | Cleveleys | FY5 3NE town will probably result in lower 01253 863636 | cleveleys@bpib.co.uk | bpib.co.uk premiums than if you’re covering thousands of miles a month.

Clean up for Claremont community

L

ocal residents and councillors in a north shore community have been cleaning up their local area.

The Claremont community and environment group, which is comprised of ward councillors, residents and representatives of various agencies working in the local area held a skip amnesty last week to give the place a spruce up.

A household rubbish amnesty took place on the 28th February across Claremont ward. This was a first for the Claremont ward and was very welcomed by the residents.

A skip was available for residents to use and residents could also pre book rubbish collection appointments for the 4 hours of the amnesty. A massive total amount of 6.5 tons of rubbish was collected with additionally 1.14 tons of recyclable household items collected by the rover service. The amnesty was funded by contributions from Blackpool Council’s transience project and Great Places Housing Group.

Claremont has like other areas of the town been affected by fly tipping, and rubbish dumping in alleys.

26

Cllr Lynn Williams, Chair of the Claremont community and environment group said: “The rubbish amnesty was never by itself going to resolve the rubbish and littering issues across Claremont - but we wanted it to raise awareness and encourage a more responsible attitude to rubbish disposal.

“We have a number of other initiatives planned to deal with this problem which has a massive impact upon the area and people’s lives. Most importantly, if people allow rubbish to accumulate and just leave it in the front of their properties or at the back or, dump it in the street or alleys, the council housing enforcement team will take action people will be given notice to remove and failure to do so will result in fines and prosecutions if necessary.”

Cllr Williams on behalf of the community group wanted to thank all those who supported, helped and took part, particularly the volunteers from Claremont first steps centre who worked incredibly hard both before and on the day, and also Great Places Housing Group, the transience programme and the Council’s housing enforcement team.

The group will be organising another ward rubbish amnesty later in the year.

Free gym memberships for young women in Blackpool

A

re you aged 18-25 years old and female? Would you like to start the journey to a fitter, healthier new you?

Research from Sport England shows that millions of women and girls are afraid to exercise because of fear of judgement. Fewer women than men play sport regularly – two million fewer 14-40 year olds in total.

Sport Blackpool is offering up to 60 young female residents in the town an opportunity to start the New Year with a new approach to fun and fitness.

Cllr Maria Kirkland, Cabinet Member for Leisure Services at Blackpool Council, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for young women to get active, try out a new activity and boost their fitness levels at Blackpool Sports Centre, Moor Park Health and Leisure Centre and Palatine Leisure Centre.

Following a successful bid to secure funding from Sport England, and with support from Lancashire Sport Partnership, young women in Blackpool can apply for a free two month pass to use Sport Blackpool’s gyms, exercise classes and swimming pools.

“The initiative is a positive way to encourage greater participation and help young women to overcome any inhibitions and work out at their own pace.

Paralympian Shelly Woods will be supporting participants along the way, taking an ambassadorial role encouraging all to complete and attend each week.

“They will be able to try any of the exercise classes on offer and access the fitness suites at the three centres, supported by our experienced and supportive staff.

The three-time medallist will be visiting the three leisure centres across Blackpool providing inspiring messages and help to keep them motivated for the full two months.

“Once the two months is up, the participants will be encouraged to continue with their fitness programme through low cost social opportunities such as running groups plus the quality offers provided by the leisure centres.”

The funding from Sport England will bring £4800 investment into the area for the benefit of Blackpool residents.

This unique offer forms part of ‘This Girl Can’, a national campaign developed by Sport England to get women and girls moving, regardless of shape, size and ability.

28

To apply for the unbeatable deal, applicants must be currently inactive, which means completing less than 30 minutes of physical activity a week. Places are strictly limited and applicants must meet This Girl Can: Join The Gym criteria to qualify.
