Blackpool News
Canada crowned World Fireworks Championship winners
Canadian master blasters Firemaster Productions have been named winners of Blackpool’s World Fireworks Championships 2014. The annual festival, which runs every Friday night throughout September, saw competitors from Sweden, Austria and Canada battle it out to be named the winner. And as Great British pyrotechnic experts Titanium rounded off the annual spectacle on Friday (26/9) the judges announced it was the Canadian team who were the overall victors. Sean Morris MD of Firemaster Productions, Canada, said: ‘We are very proud to have been invited to participate, and winning this year’s edition is an absolute dream. The displays by Team Sweden and Team Austria were simply fantastic and we are very fortunate to be crowned the winner. We would like to thank the crew from Titanium Fireworks for all their hard work and special thanks to everyone that attended our display. We hope to compete again soon.’ Blackpool hosts the World Fireworks Championship each year in September when tens of thousands of people make the trip to the resort each week to watch the amazing pyrotechnics light up the skies. 18
Cllr Graham Cain, Blackpool Council’s cabinet member for tourism and leisure, said: ‘The quality of the displays at this year’s World Fireworks Championships was absolutely incredible and anyone who attended was treated to a real spectacle. It’s pleasing the popularity of the event continues to increase. We look forward to delivering another stellar line-up next year.’ Firemaster Productions are located in Niagara Falls, Canada. Firemaster Productions has been producing worldclass fireworks displays since 2006. They specialize in large scale productions and have successfully produced Canada’s largest pyro-musical display in Toronto for the past 2 years. In addition, key members of our team were part of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony. They use state-of-the-art software to design unique and spectacular displays using music that is fresh and modern. Photo: Canada’s entry into the Blackpool World Fireworks Championships 2014.

Parents and children by the Better Start illumination
Blackpool student gets the Llewellyn Bowen treatment as design goes up in lights Blackpool design student, Julia Maczak has had her artwork put up in lights by celebrity designer Laurence Llewellyn Bowen as part of this year’s illuminations. The 21-year-old graphic design undergraduate from Layton recently designed a new logo for the Blackpool Better Start partnership. Julia’s design was chosen by the NSPCC as the best idea for a new logo for the £45million lottery funded initiative. The NSPCC team were so impressed with Julia’s idea that she was invited to undertake an internship this summer at the charity’s creative studio in London. After putting the finishing touches to her design, the new logo has now been incorporated in a specially commissioned illumination by Laurence Llewellyn Bowen. The illumination is a celebration of the Blackpool Better Start partnership which aims to give babies across Blackpool the best possible start in life. Julia’s design incorporates a child and adult footprint in the shape of a heart. Julia said: ‘I’ve had a great summer filled with opportunities for me to develop as a designer. I had a fantastic time working with the NSPCC creative team and I’m so proud to be involved in a local project in Blackpool. I was delighted to see my final design chosen as the logo for Better Start and it’s the icing on the cake that it’s now lighting up the night sky as part of the illuminations.’
Cllr Ivan Taylor, Blackpool Council’s cabinet member for children’s services said: ‘Julia’s design is really impressive and epitomises the Better Start project really well. Even better, this design has been made locally and is a fantastic example of what children and young people in Blackpool can do when they are able to reach their potential. We want all children in Blackpool to be able to reach a similar potential but to do that some of them need to receive a better start in life. That’s why this project is so important and why we’re determined to make sure it’s successful. The results won’t be felt overnight but over the course of the next ten years we’re aiming to improve the lives of around 9,000 children.’ Better Start is a partnership between the NSPCC, Blackpool Council, NHS health organisations in Blackpool, as well as the voluntary sector and local parents. It won £45million worth of funding from the Big Lottery in June this year. The money will be spent over 10 years and aims to support parents and young families across Blackpool.

RSPCA Blackpool & North Lancs Can you offer a home to an animal?
They are now open at the new premises on Old Tom Lane, Stalmine, FY6 0JR. Tuesdays - Sundays 11am - 5pm with a new telephone number 01253 703000. They have 30 cats all in need of new homes and guinea pigs, gerbils, degus though there are still no dogs at the time of going to press. Four particular cats have been there the longest, since they arrived in May. Declan, Jemima, Storm and Melanie. The RSPCA are desperate to get the long stays homed, the only downside is that none of the four can live with other cats. They are only suitable for older children and quieter households too. Declan is 3-6 years, Jemima is 14 years, Storm is 7-9 years and Melanie is 5 years. Another special one is Vanilla who needs a home: Vanilla is a very friendly boy who loves attention. He was removed from a house after being found living in very poor conditions. Due to this, Vanilla has been poorly whilst at the centre so needs a home where he is the only cat . He also needs to be kept indoors. Please don’t let that put you off though, he has since made a good recovery! Vanilla is currently in a foster home as he was getting quite stressed in the cattery. If you think you can offer Vanilla the lovely home he desperately deserves, then please contact the Centre.

Vanilla
Then there is Rufus who is in need of a farm or stables type of home. He is not an indoor cat he is free to adopt due to us wanting him to just find a stables or farm. He was found roaming for food at the old RSPCA site so they brought him with them to find a new home and see that he gets fed properly. He is not suitable around children. He is about 4-6 years old. The centre also has a shop that sells animal food and products on site too. 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.
