Blindingly Good Service

Steve Wear Blinds of Thornton is a father and daughter family business.

Between them they manufacture roller and vertical blinds and supply venetian, pleated and roman blinds. Steve has been in the blind industry for twenty years now, specialising in pleated blinds for Europe’s largest conservatory blind company, before opening his first shop in Kent.

After Kent he moved back to the North West where he was the founder of ‘Simply Blinds’ and ‘The Blind Company’ and is now working alongside his daughter Vanessa in Thornton. Steve says; ‘As a local manufacturer we like to think our customer service is paramount to our success along with our very competitive prices and massive fabric choice. It gives us the confidence to provide a quality product.’

He continued ‘Our showroom is a friendly place to come along and discuss your blind requirements and see for yourself how we manufacture from them from start to finish. I have loved this industry from day one and having my daughter Vanessa work alongside

me is the best thing to happen to both myself and the business, her knowledge and the way she is with customers is terrific and having grown up with blinds all of her life she realises the importance of attention to detail and service.’

He added: ‘I think the fact that we care is a crucial part of our business, plus we never take a deposit until your blinds are installed and the customer is happy. We always welcome any enquiry either by phone or to visit our showroom where a friendly and professional welcome awaits.’

Classic scones with Sweet Eve Strawberries and cream This classic British summertime treat is served with beautiful British strawberries.

Preparation time: 5 minutes Cooking time: 15 minutes Makes 8 scones You’ll need: 225g self-raising flour Pinch of salt 55g butter 25g caster sugar 150ml milk 1 free-range egg, beaten 400g punnet Sweet Eve strawberries Clotted or whipped cream to serve 20

Method: Preheat the oven to 220C. Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Mix together the flour and salt and rub in the butter to form breadcrumbs.

Stir in the sugar and then add the milk a bit at a time until a soft dough forms.

Turn on to a floured surface and knead gently. Roll out to a depth of about 2cm. Using a 5cm cutter, stamp out rounds and place on the prepared baking sheet. Gently knead any remaining dough together, roll out and cut more scones.

Continue until all the dough is used.

Using a pastry brush, lightly cover each scone with the beaten egg. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until well risen and golden.

Meanwhile, slice the Sweet Eve strawberries and set aside.

When the scones are ready, cool on a wire rack, then split and spread on a thick layer of cream. Top with slices of Sweet Eve strawberries. www.sweetevestrawberry.co.uk

Fitness evolved

Evolve Fitness is a newly opened group fitness studio in Fleetwood

T

hey provide a class timetable that specialises in some highly popular group fitness programmes such as Spinning, Body Pump, Body Combat, Body Attack and Insanity.

John and Lisa Bubbins, directors and class instructors at Evolve Fitness, say the main focus is ‘To offer high quality group exercise and personal training, in a friendly and welcoming environment.’

‘We would like to encourage not only the people who already love group fitness but also those who are looking to start exercising for the first time, to come along and see us, especially anyone who feels nervous at visiting a big health or leisure centre. We hope we can

make you feel at ease and guide you in your first steps towards improving your fitness.’

With a combined experience of 25 years in fitness, leisure and cardiac rehabilitation, John decided to set up Evolve with wife Lisa in 2014.

“It was a big decision to decide to open up our own studio and one that has taken a lot of hard work and commitment but we hope that our members are enjoying the classes that we deliver.”

Evolve Fitness offers classes every evening from 5:15pm to 9pm plus morning and weekend sessions, with the latest weekday classes beginning at 8pm. There is also an option of ‘one to one’ or ‘small group’ personal training which is available for anyone looking for that extra motivation and guidance.

For further information on the classes and services on offer you can contact John or Lisa at Evolve on 07415 301447 or email evolvefitness-fylde@btconnect. com They will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Feedback wanted on Mount plans Views are being sought on the future use of Fleetwood’s Mount Pavilion and its gardens

H

aving targeted specific groups about plans to restore and raise the profile of this iconic landmark, Wyre Council now wants the wider public to share their thoughts.

An unmanned display will tour various Fleetwood venues in May, June and July with opportunities for people to complete questionnaires and make general comments. The council has been given £1m to restore the seaward side of the grounds and a bid is being submitted to the Heritage Lottery Fund in September for more money to transform the Pavilion, rose garden and outbuildings. For interest and inspiration, the display will include a collection of Mount related objects crafted entirely out of cardboard for a recent storytelling event.

Catch it at the following venues: Fleetwood Library, week commencing 26 May Kemp Street Children’s Centre, week commencing 1 June Fleetwood Museum, week commencing 13 July

The cardboard pieces that will be included in the display

Other venues will be added to the calendar in due course. The display will also be touring schools and youth groups, while an online questionnaire will be available shortly.

Regular updates on the project will be available online at wyre.gov.uk/themount

Rotary Dementia Cafe goes from Strength to Strength Writes Malcom Lewis

I

n August 2013 the Rotary Club of Fleetwood started what we then called ‘The Dementia Café’ in ‘Café 3one6’ on Lord Street. After a few months of minimal success, we got the opportunity to move venue, in May 2014 we moved into the former Methodist Church on Mount Road.

We have steadily grown over the months and we particularly want to contact more Fleetwood people.

There is a great atmosphere among all present, and we have activities, and speakers coming at most meetings varying from ‘How to make your own flower displays’ to ‘The history of the trawler Jacinta presently in Fleetwood docks’.

We meet every third Thursday morning between 10.00 and noon with drinks available at a small fee and ‘free biscuits’. Whilst we have close ties with the Alzheimer’s Society we can direct people to the right sources or agencies for their particular needs.

The aim of the group is simply to give those with 26

Dementia Cafe Meeting (taken with permission of participants )

Dementia and their carers the opportunity to have a break and relax with others who know exactly how they feel. We hope the venture will continue to grow and, become an intrinsic part of the Town’s caring infrastructure; showing again the Rotary’s maxim of ‘Service above Self’ really does work.

Our next meetings are: 18th June, 16th July, 20th August, 17th September, 15th October Contact: Malcolm Lewis, Press Officer, Fleetwood Rotary Club. email: docmal41@gmail.com

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.

THE MOUNT RACING CLUB UPDATE

P

THE HIGHS AND LOWS OF RACING

leased to say both our horses have made satisfactory starts to the 2015 Flat season and hopefully it shouldn’t be too long before they’re winning again. Eva Clare has run in two decent handicaps at Southwell and has finished a creditable 5th and 4th in them. She has also made her first trip and indeed ours as well down to the newly opened Chelmsford City Racecourse in Essex. The course is a deep All Weather one that rides on the slow side and is likened to the going of Good to Soft on the Turf so it suits Eva quite well. Cheered on by her loyal Owners who made the long trip down south she was partnered on this occasion by the highly talented stable apprentice jockey Joey Haynes who was quickly away from the gates and positive on her throughout. As the furlong pole loomed it looked like she had beaten off her fellow pacesetters but off such a strong early gallop the race was set up for the well handicapped Favourite who came with a well timed run to swoop and win the race with Eva finishing a very creditable 2nd. The handicapper has left Eva alone after these runs and she remains on what looks like a winnable mark of 64, one we hope we can capitalise on now.

Fidelma Moon started her campaign off over a slightly shorter than ideal trip of 7f at Wolverhampton and despite running well for the first half of the race she was soon outpaced but plugged on gamely to finish 5th.

After this we stepped her up in distance to a new trip of 1m2f in a hot little race at Doncaster where the game plan was to get her some cover and let her settle into the race. This unfortunately didn’t happen as the race was first decimated with non runners and then Fidelma

breaking from the gates a bit too good and finding herself out in front with no cover. With no early pace Fidelma was way too keen out in front and jockey Joey Haynes despite his best efforts of trying to restrain her had to admit defeat and let her stride on. This resulted in her tiring towards the end of the race and she eventually finished 6th. Fidelma is a young horse who is still learning and where as the trip wasn’t a problem, she does now need to learn to settle in her races and this is something that Karl and the team will work on. The handicapper has now dropped her to a lenient mark of 70 which is a big help and we’re sure it won’t be long before she’s back gracing the Winners enclosure again.

There are plenty of share packages available in our horses and if anyone would like to know more or maybe visit them in their stable at Karl Burkes Spigot Lodge you can do so by contacting Geoff 07852153969 or Andy 07940202312 or by visiting our website www.themountracingclub.co.uk Advertise your business call 0800 970 7687 or email info@link-mag.co.uk

West Fleetwood Computer Clinic goes to the dogs... ...and cats, budgies and hamsters

O

n 17th April the West Fleetwood Computer Clinic team supplied and installed three computers for the local RSPCA branch at their Fleetwood HQ. ‘It all started with a phone call for help from Liz, the local manager’, said Steve Berger from the Clinic. ‘She needed computers for administration and volunteer training at their Fleetwood offices, which are currently undergoing refurbishment.’

The Clinic team were able to help and just four days later were installing three complete machines, donated by an anonymous Blackpool company. All the machines were thoroughly cleaned, digitally and physically, and were supplied with all the software and cabling that that Charity required. The machines were refurbished and supplied completely free of charge, all parts and time donated by Clinic members.

This donation brings the total number of computers supplied by the Clinic this year to 37. ‘We can only donate as many machines as we are given by local companies and individuals,’ said Steve. ‘Stocks of

40

Liz, RSPCA local branch manager, with one of the newly installed computer systems

machines are quite low at the moment so more old computers are currently required. Just go to our Facebook page www.facebook.com/wfcomputerclinic if you can offer us any kit!’

Both the Clinic and the RSPCA are keen to see local animal welfare benefit from this move into the digital age for their local branch.
