ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS
to your Blackpool South Magazine. O come all ye faithful into the last edition of the year, Christmas is upon us once again! A special time to touch base and spend time with family and friends while enjoying the festive season. There are many events in the what’s on section once again to keep you busy over this period and into the New Year…. We’ve had a fantastic year helping 100’s of local businesses showcase themselves to our readers, as well as supporting as many local events and most of all helping charity events and causes raise £1000’s. LINK-MAG is more than just local directory and free community magazine, it’s an integral part of the local community. Myself and the team here at LINK-MAG would like to wish you a brilliant Christmas and New Year and a special thank you for supporting us over the last 5+years, we’re run by independent local people and give back to the community on many occasions personally. We take a break over Christmas so our next edition will be our combined JAN/FEB issue out from mid January with 12th Dec deadline for all events up to and including Feb 2015 available online as well. Well done to last month’s winner: David Heaney for the Where Am I? Competition. £50 is on its way. Once again have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year, see you in 2015!

Daughter invests back into South Shore
Lisa Brownless daughter of Larry & Jeannette Colino, who were licensed victualers in South Shore for many years, has made a return to invest in the area she grew up. She has started up a new family run business with her son Ryan in property development, refurbishing property to a high standard for rental within the Blackpool area. Lisa also saw a niche in the market and decided to open up ‘Heaven An Hell’, a unique and exclusive adult store on Waterloo Road in South Shore. Due to the poor state of the economy you can find products in ‘Heaven An Hell’ up to 50% cheaper and for the same quality product compared to similar stores. With more styles available as well you will find something within Heaven An Hell to suit anybody’s budget. Heaven An Hell opened in August 2014, and has been very successful. They are expanding daily with new ranges of stock, Heaven An Hell Unique parties (unlike any other for any occasion), Birthday’s, Girls Nights In and Hen & Stag Parties.
This is just the beginning for this Family Business, And it won’t be the last you see of them, as expanding ‘Heaven An Hell’ to other locations within Blackpool and other areas is in the pipeline. Further info at www.heavenanhell.com

Sensational end to the season
Blackpool’s tourism industry has enjoyed one of its best seasons in years. That was the verdict at VisitBlackpool’s end of season review event at the Winter Gardens as hoteliers, attractions, business owners and those responsible for promoting the town looked back on 2014. The event, attended by more than 50 leading figures from the industry, also saw the launch of two new visitor economy initiatives – a new approved visitor accommodation scheme (1) and the roll out of the WorldHost customer service programme across the resort. The event attendees were told that the challenge was to replicate the success of 2014 next year. Initiatives already in the pipeline for 2015 include: • Bringing back the brilliant events programme that lit up the summer season and helped drive a 30% (2) increase in overnight stays including Showzam!, Armed Forces Week, the Blackpool Air Show, the World Fireworks Championships, the Switch-On Festival Weekend and Ride the Lights. • Bringing another high-profile summer season show to the Winter Gardens to try to match the success of Mamma Mia! which scooped more than £3m at the Box Office (3), making it the highest grossing show in the resort’s history. • Adding new attractions to ‘The Resort Pass’, the Disney style all in one pass to numerous Blackpool attractions which has proved so popular.
• Exploring ways to invest in the Illuminations and find new streams of funding to meet the financial challenges facing the local authority. • Continuing to try to increase business tourism, capitalising on the new direct Blackpool to London rail link, exploring further conferencing and events opportunities. • Marketing the resort nationally with positive publicity such as that achieved by the Blackpool’s Back campaign, Strictly Come Dancing and much more Cllr Graham Cain, Blackpool Council’s cabinet member for tourism and leisure, thanked businesses and residents for supporting events and tourism this year and pledged to continue to make bold decisions, like bringing in MAMMA MIA! which was such a success. He said: ‘It has been a truly fantastic season. The success of MAMMA MIA!, the Switch-On Festival Weekend, the World Fireworks Championships, Blackpool Air Show and so much more has been a huge tonic for Blackpool. Add that to the incredible regeneration work that has gone on here from the transformation of the Promenade and the creation of the Comedy Carpet and Festival House to the sparkling new Talbot Gateway Central Business District that now greets visitors who get off the train at Blackpool North Station and we really believe we have a winning formula. As the campaign says Blackpool is back and our job now is to build on that in 2015.’

Local RSPCA news Can you offer a home to an animal?
Ebony was abandoned at the vets by her previous owner, they left her there to have an operation and never collected her. She is a sweet girl who can sometimes be shy so a quieter home would be better. She is thought to be 3- 5 years old, She is a very pretty cat who likes affection but sometimes just wants to lay in the sun and sleep. She is suitable to live with older children but no other animals. She could possibly live with another cat as long as it is a calm one. Marco was transferred to us from another Centre along with his 2 brothers. He is a young Degu. He is very friendly and likes being handled. He had to have his tail amputated but it doesn’t effect him. He loves his wheel and his treats. It is hoped he would be able to live with other degus but it would need to be another male and they would have to make sure they didn’t fight. Degus are £15.00 each to adopt and like to be active so need big cages. The Amazon Wishlist Christmas Tree Appeal, this year RSPCA are doing something extra special by having a Christmas Tree which has cards attached with wishlist items on. These are items from their Amazon wishlist online. You can choose a card from the tree and on it is the item you may wish to purchase for the Centre. You can then replace the card with a picture of your own pet or in memory of a previous pet if you wish. To view their wishlist online please visit http://tinyurl.com/bplrspcawishlist or pop down to the Centre to view the tree with the items on.

Ebony
Shoe box appeal, they are appealing for shoe boxes with lots of cats, small animal toys and treats in. People decorate the shoe boxes for Christmas and fill them with toys and anything they think the animals could use at the Centre. There are drop off points all over Blackpool and at the Animal Centre in Stalmine. If people are wanting to know the drop off points they can then call us 01253 703000 to find out the nearest point to drop off for you. They hope to have the dog kennels ready early next year and still have lots of cats and small animals at the moment looking for homes. There are a lot of guinea pigs and the two Degus who have been here a while now. Further info at www.rspcablackpool.org.uk.

RSPCA SPONSOR A CAT PEN OR SMALL ANIMAL PEN The kennel and cattery sponsorship scheme is a way in which you as an individual, part of a group or a business can support our animals by sponsoring an animal pen for a year. There are many types of animal pen to sponsor. With the scheme you won’t be helping just one animal, you’ll be sponsoring the lives of all who pass through our animal centre every year. Sponsorship is £50 for 6 months. In return we will place a certificate bearing your name on the appropriate pen, thanking you for your kind donation. If you are a company we are very happy to display details of your company. The £50 will go towards the costs of keeping the animals that use that pen. You may also want to visit your pen, over the 6 months, and see which animals you are helping. Contact the centre on enquiries@rspcablackpool.org.uk if you would like to take part. Old Tom Lane, Stalmine, FY6 0JR. Tuesdays - Sundays 11am - 5pm with a new telephone number 01253 703000.
