Fleetwood News
Fleetwood Heritage Open Days Some selected highlights from the event running from Thursday 11th to Sunday 14th September The Mount Pavilion The Esplanade, Fleetwood
A chance to admire fantastic views of Morecambe Bay and the Pennine Hills from the balcony, even the Isle of Man on a clear day. See what you can pick out from the direction finder. The clock on top of the building was presented to Fleetwood in memory of those who lost their lives in the First World War. The internal workings of the clock are on view upstairs and the mechanism can be seen as it strikes every quarter of the hour. Open Saturday and Sunday 10.00am - 4.30pm
North Euston Hotel The Esplanade, Fleetwood

Revised plans for Fleetwood seafront set to be considered Plans to create an exciting new leisure hub on Fleetwood’s seafront could move a step closer next week.
On July 30, Wyre Council’s Cabinet will officially consider proposals to build a skate park and water play zone as part of the wider £1.5m Five For Fleetwood scheme. Locations and layout have been revised following two months of public consultation. So if approval is given, the skate park would now be built on a section of Marine Gardens nearer to the performance area and bowling greens. This site is not overlooked by properties in the same way as the original location and has much better CCTV coverage. New recommendations for the water play area are to combine a traditional paddling pool alongside a modern splash pad, with water jets and fountains. Adjacent to this would be seating, picnic areas, space for children’s play, a cafe and a renovated toilet block. This would be built on the former outdoor pool next to Fleetwood Leisure Centre. Bringing all the facilities closer together in this way makes for a more appealing tourism attraction, one of

the requirements for the funding that the council received from the Coastal Communities Fund. Councillor Vivien Taylor, Cabinet member with responsibility for the project, said: ‘Having listened in depth to people’s views, we’re happy to make those changes that are practical. Now we need to move forward and bring this leisure hub to life. Imagine a family-friendly area where adults can relax on decking under parasols with food and drink, while the children run through water jets and splash and paddle to their heart’s content. Nowhere else on the Fylde Coast offers a play facility like this and combined with the existing attractions on Fleetwood’s seafront, we’ll be able to offer visitors and locals a reason to really make a day of it.’ Other projects in the wider Five For Fleetwood scheme include improvements to Euston Gardens, the promenade and Marine Lake, plus the creation of an ecology zone around Rossall Point. More details are available at wyre.gov.uk/ fiveforfleetwood

Dickinson’s Real Deal is coming to Fleetwood ITV1’s antiques show Dickinson’s Real Deal is coming to Marine Hall, Fleetwood on Saturday 20 September giving local people the perfect chance to dust off their antiques and see how much money they are worth. Dickinson’s Real Deal is currently one of the most popular daytime shows on ITV and is regularly watched by over a million people. Back for a eleventh series, David Dickinson and the dealers are travelling around the country looking for some more bobby dazzlers brought in by members of the public. Why let your antiques collect dust in the attic when you can sell them for cash? Take money on the spot from a dealer or if you think your item is worth more….take a gamble at auction! Presenter David Dickinson comments, ‘It’s great to bring the show to Fleetwood. I’m very much looking forward to visiting Lancashire, an area of the country I love bringing the show to. I remember visiting the area several years ago – the items brought in were fantastic, great quality with fabulous history and stories attached. Last time we were in the area, a gentleman called Graham sold a gold charm bracelet to one of our dealers for £500, Stewart’s matchbox toys reached £520 at auction, and Suzanne walked away with £420 for her sampler! People of Fleetwood and Lancashire, come along and get the Real Deal!’ As usual David Dickinson will be keeping an eye on the deals and giving advice about whether to take the dealers’ cash or gamble at auction. But the final decision lies with our contributors and it’s up to them to decide which option is the real deal. Members of the public should bring their antiques and collectables along – a team of independent valuers will be offering free advice on all items brought along on the day. Admission is free and you do not need to book a place or a ticket, however you must bring along ID on the day.
28
If you want to sell your goods, but only for the right price, David and the dealers are going to be at Marine Hall on 20 September. Doors will be open between 9am and 5pm – David and the team look forward to seeing you there! For more information call Marine Hall on 01253 887693 or visit marinehall.co.uk

Get your grown-ups
Growing By Hannah Stephenson
G
TV gardening guru David Domoney is calling on all schools to ‘get their grown-ups growing’ as part of a nationwide event organised by the Royal Horticultural Society, to be held across October.
et Your Grown-ups Growing forms part of the RHS’s Campaign for School Gardening, - a national initiative that encourages schools to create gardens, teach the skills of growing and in turn enable their pupils to learn outside the classroom. Each October schools are invited to hold a Grown-ups Growing event so they can involve their local community to help develop the school garden. Grandparents, parents, carers and friends are invited to help. Activities suggested for event organisers include tool swaps, taste tests of produce grown in schools or alternatively locallygrown fruit and veg, a range of gardening classes and even a mini garden show. Schools with gardens can encourage adults within the community to help develop new areas such as a wildlife garden or help construct raised beds. A Get Your Grown-ups Growing event can also see adults passing on their gardening experience to children by helping them sow seeds, plant trees and assist in weeding.
30
For schools without gardens it’s the ideal opportunity to involve adults in the community from the beginning to establish some form of gardening facility in the school. For both types of schools the event can even be used to raise funds through plant sales and raffles. Entering its fifth year, Get Your Grown-ups Growing has developed from a small pilot project based in Yorkshire to a national success. Of the schools that held an event last year, 74% said it had increased their children’s interest in gardening, while more than half reported an increase in adult support and adult interest in gardening. Jacky Chave, RHS strategic schools manager, says: “Having a school garden is a fantastic asset for teachers and pupils as it provides a multitude of learning opportunities, but we know it can take a lot of hard work to maintain. “By involving parents and other local adults, through an event like Get Your Grown-ups Growing, we hope that school gardens will be looked after all year round and enthusiasm for gardening and growing will spread beyond the school gates and into children’s homes.”
The RHS hopes to see 2,000 schools register for this year’s Get Your Grown-ups Growing event. All registered schools will be entered into a free prize draw to win garden tools and materials. Schools which register will receive a free support pack including seeds, event ideas, information templates, stickers and more. Each school can choose any date in October to hold its event and organise activities to suit its requirements.
To register: Schools must sign up to the RHS Campaign for School Gardening via
www.rhs.org.uk/gygg
and click on the ‘Get Your Grown-ups Growing’ button on the home page.

We are a small independent group and meet on a weekly basis at our hall at the top of Bold Street, right next to the North Euston Hotel. Our meetings are run on a “drop in” basis every Wednesday between 10.a.m. and 3.00 p.m. Tea, coffee and biscuits are served in a very informal, comfortable atmosphere. We also have a session with exercises especially chosen for Parkinson sufferers but helpers and volunteers can join in too. These exercises will not halt the progression of the disease but they do promote a feeling of well being and are mentally stimulating ( as well as being a good laugh in the process!!) The exercise session is at 12.noon. So if you are affected by Parkinson’s Disease in any way whatsoever, why not give us try, you never know, we might be just that extra tonic you need. Also if you feel like volunteering to help out in any way, pop in on any Wednesday and see what you think. We do hold other regular events, initially they were for fund raising but they are becoming more for the social side now. Sue on 0755 4623 231 e mail: parkinsonsprestonandfleetwood@gmail.com

FY7 Community Beat Hello Good news, offences of criminal damage and antisocial behaviour have reduced in Fleetwood this past month compared to the same period last year. The recent flurry of ASBO’s issued by court has had a significant impact on a problematic group, including the closure of an address on Ariel Way at Fleetwood. We still need to get the message out there about the threat of distraction burglaries occurring, mainly to the elderly or vulnerable. What does this really mean? A recent trend of these crimes in Fleetwood have been for small groups of youths to approach an elderly person in their front garden, offer to complete some gardening work for them and whilst engaging them in conversation, their mate has sneaked through an open front door and quickly stolen small items and cash. It takes seconds, and may not be realised by the victim until sometime later. The victim is left questioning whether it has actually happened but the fact is, it has and they are now missing their property. Offenders have been put before the court for these offences we continue to do so. So, we urge everybody to guard against this type of crime. In the hotter months of the year we become more relaxed with leaving doors and windows open. You should always remain alert if that is what you choose to do but you should always be near to any open doors or windows and know who is going 36
through them; you should take every precaution to include window locks, door chains etc and if you are approached in your garden, be aware of this advice. If you suspect this has happened to you, call us immediately on 999. The main PACT (Police and Communities Together) surgery will be at ASDA on Saturday 16th August between 1pm & 3pm. If you live on Rossall ward, there is a surgery between 2pm-4pm each Monday at Eden Avenue community centre with Regenda Housing. If you can’t make any of these surgeries, simply call us on 604911; we will always come out and see you for a policing need if you prefer at your home address by appointment. Visit the Lancashire Constabulary website for further ways of contacting us including registering for ‘In The Know’ – a free text messaging service that allows you to be in control about what information you want from us. And don’t forget, we have our own facebook page – Fleetwood Area Police, follow us and ‘like’ us. Take Care, Sergeant Daniel Whitaker

THE MOUNT RACING CLUB UPDATE
THE HIGHS AND LOWS OF RACING
Fidelma Moon Shines on Debut
O
ur new 2yo filly Fidelma Moon ran a race full of promise when she debuted in a 7f Maiden at Great Yarmouth. Up against more experienced horses she was very ‘green’ leaving the stalls and found it hard to settle for the first couple of furlongs but once she passed half way jockey Joey Haynes let out a bit more reign and the penny began to drop with her. Despite taking a bump and being impeded by another horse she showed a good attitude to go through a gap and as they came inside the final furlong she began to eat into the favourites lead. Roared on by the Mount Racing Club Owners who had made the long journey south she gained with every stride and as the post loomed she flashed by it with the long time leader and a photo was called for. Agonisingly for all involved she had failed by the shortest of distances to catch the leader and had finished 2nd. This was an excellent display from Fidelma though when you take into account it was her first ever run on a racecourse and she was beaten by a horse who had had plenty of experience. This was echoed by
Joey Haynes her jockey who said afterwards it was ‘greenness’ that cost her that’s all. She will have learnt a lot from this and will come on a lot for the run, we may look to step her up to a mile next time as being by Dylan Thomas she’s all about stamina and would have no problem with the trip. Our 3yo filly Eva Clare is all set to return and will run on the Turf until the end of the season before going straight through the Winter on the All Weather. Eva is nicely handicapped and has improved a lot over the summer and with her and Fidelma Moon we now have two very nice prospects to look forward to. We have plenty of share packages available in both horses and if anyone would like to know more or discuss them they can do so by contacting Geoff 07852 153969 or Andy 07940 202312 or by visiting our website www.themountracingclub.co.uk
