For the 12th year (not in a row) 'A Very Messy Christmas' returns with around 16 local acts taking to the stage to completely ruin Christmas for everyone, ensuring your festive season is crushed more than that time the pony shaped present under the tree turned out to be a fold out clothes drying maiden.

Each act on the night gets a three song set list, at least one song has to be a cover of a classic Christmas tune, this gives the audience a chance to, not only sample some of the best new original music in the area, but get the chance to sing-a-long to some festive anthems.

All profits on the night will once again be donated be to the Blackpool Food Bank, who help local people who are living below the poverty line. They work together with front-line agencies across Blackpool to provide emergency food parcels for people in need.

There will be charity buckets going around on the night so bring some change and please DIG DEEP. You can find out more about the Blackpool Food Bank at www.blackpoolfoodbank.co.uk There will be performances on the night from: Those F******* Snowflakes, Oceans Over Alderaan, Shady Poets, Eye the Bomb, Death Trails, Octopus Montage, The Fashion Police, Stirat Purnweirdin, Uncle Paul, 22

LINK-Mag Recipe

T

hese golden, tasty crispy parcels are perfect for parties, plus they can be made and frozen ahead of time and simply cooked on the day.

Makes: 20 Prep time: 30 minutes Cooking time 10 – 12 minutes

You’ll need: 250g fresh cranberries 100g caster sugar Juice and grated zest of half an orange Filo pastry (10 x30 x26cm sheets approx 220g packet) 200g goats cheese 8 tbsp olive oil Rocket leaves

Four Finalists vye for £100,000 Award

F

our internationally-renowned designers are vying for the unique opportunity to create a spectacular light installation in the worldfamous Blackpool Illuminations.

Photo: Sue Burton Photography The competition, announced earlier this year, has attracted interest from across the globe. Now four teams and individuals have been shortlisted for the final judging when one of them will win a £100k award to take their project from concept to manufacture.

What to do Place the cranberries in a saucepan with the sugar and add the orange zest and juice. Bring to a simmer and cook gently for 8-10 minutes until the cranberries have softened. Leave to cool.

Pre-heat oven to 200°C / Gas Mark 6. Make the parcels by placing a sheet of filo pastry on the work surface (keep the remaining sheets covered in cling film). Brush the sheet with a little of the olive oil, place another sheet on top, brush evenly with a little more oil. Cut into four squares.

Place a 10g chunk of goats cheese in the middle of each square and top with a small teaspoonful of the cranberry sauce, fold the pastry around the filling and scrunch the top so it holds together, brush all over with olive oil and place on a baking

Cranberry and Goats Cheese Filo Parcels Fun Festive Finger Food sheet. Continue until you have used all the filo sheets and goats cheese.

Reserve the remaining cranberry sauce to serve with the parcels.

Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes until golden and crisp.

Serve warm with an extra spoonful of the cranberrry sauce, garnish with rocket leaves.

Cooks Tip: The goats cheese can be replaced with blue cheese. To freeze, place uncooked parcels on a tray and open freeze before carefully covering in foil. Cook from frozen for a few minutes more www.berryworld.com

The finalists, whose work will be judged by a panel chaired by Blackpool Illuminations Creative Curator Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen on November 20, are: Guildhall Live Events. Based in London, this prestigious performing arts institution has had its artistic work featured throughout the UK including the British Museum, Glastonbury and the Tower of London.

Jack Irving. One of Blackpool’s most creative sons, the London-based set and costume designer is widely known for his dazzling work, including the design of costumes for Lady Gaga.

Lancaster University. The team from one of the UK’s most respected universities has set its sights on creating a concept aimed at turning the Promenade into a playground of light.

Lisa Ashcroft. The Lancashire-born artist, now based in Australia, is widely respected for her talent and has work featured in private collections in the UK, Cyprus, America, Japan and Spain.

The four were selected from dozens of entries and expressions of interest from artists, designers and creative professionals.

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen said: “The quality of the entries for this inaugural competition has been outstanding. We have four teams and individuals with very different concepts, but all of them with the potential to create something very special within the 2020 Blackpool Illuminations.

“Once the final judging has taken place, we will be inviting our winner to work with the Blackpool Illuminations team to turn their idea into reality. It promises to be a really exciting journey.”

Cllr Gillian Campbell, Deputy Leader of Blackpool Council and a member of the judging panel, added: “The design competition is intended to help reinvent the Illuminations by creating spectacular installations along the Promenade, giving visitors a very different experience to the traditional drive-through.

“Events such as the annual Lightpool Festival are already providing compelling reasons for people to get out of their cars and enjoy the Illuminations on foot. The winner of this competition will add yet another dimension.”

Protect Your Family’s Inheritance Against Care Home Fees We spend our working lives providing for our families, paying taxes and saving for retirement. Many of us fear that our children’s inheritance will be lost to pay for Care Home fees in later life.

The 7 Year Myth Some people believe that transferring their home into their children’s names prevents the Local Authority from including the property in their assessment for care fees if the gift was made more than 7 years ago.

THIS IS A MYTH. The so-called “7 year rule” does not apply to Local Authority means tests for care fees.

Property Protection Trust Wills The Wills and Trusts Lawyer can enable you to legally safeguard at least 50% of the value of your home being lost to fund care home fees. The cost is just £575 per couple – typically around only one week’s care home fees.

Single Will £140 Mirror Wills £190 Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) £195 Probate from £795 Concerned care fees may reduce your family’s inheritance?

Local healthcare practitioners team up to win prestigious nursing award Trinity Hospice & Palliative Care Services, based in Bispham, have teamed up with Clifton Hospital, part of the Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, to develop a remote working programme for nurses and health care practitioners, enabling them to reach more patients – which has gone on to win them an award from the Nursing Times.

The collaboration focused on ‘Remote End of Life Care’, utilising technology effectively in order to serve patients in their own homes by speaking to them via tablets. Pilot campaigns initially ran at various nursing homes and Clifton Hospital itself, focused over a 13 month period.

Those involved in the initiative included Sarah Roberts, Trinity Hospice, Helena Palin, Clifton Hospital, and then members of the Digital Health Team at Blackpool Teaching Hospitals, Veronica Southern, Bryan Trench, and Katie Selby.

This collaboration resulted in a joint award from the Nursing Times for ‘Technology and Data in Nursing’ and was presented at their annual ceremony, held at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London.

Clinical Nurse Specialist Manager at Trinity Hospice, Sarah Roberts, said: “We saved a total of £21,000 by linking in with these areas virtually by video, instead of travelling.

“Patients who have been part of the process have not had any negative comments and have enjoyed the experience. Our main priority is to ensure patients have the best quality of life. Most don’t want to wait in all day for a nurse to call, so we’re providing patients with that choice on how they want to be contacted.”

Over 800 hours of clinical time has also been released within the community teams, meaning more patients can now be contacted.

Trinity Hospice has continued with the initiative, with ongoing ‘Virtual Clinics’ within the community. Sarah went on to say: “We need to ensure that our patients are given a choice, not only about the service they receive, but also the way they receive it.

“For us, it means we can see more patients in a day because we are not spending time on the road. For 14 months since launching a pioneering trial of our virtual clinics, we’ve been able to work remotely – and work smarter for our patients.”

Support for Thornton's GB athlete the pre-qualifying races set by British Triathlon. Once all races are completed, athletes are then notified by British Triathlon if they qualify to race in the European or World Championships.

Christine is no stranger to representing Team GB and has competed for the British Triathlon Team for the last two years - with her most notable performances at the European Middle-Distance Championships in Denmark, 2017 and in Romania this year. She also qualified to race in the European Championship Sprint distance event in Glasgow last year, which for Christine was a first at the shorter, but faster distance.

Christine says: "There are so many talented men and women in all the age group categories especially when you come together at the European or World races competing against different nationalities, it really is tough. Each time it's a real honour to represent Great Britain and to wear the GB kit is very special."

W

yre Council and Fylde Coast YMCA are delighted to be able to support local athlete Christine Brook by awarding her with a performance pass for our leisure centres.

Thornton's Christine Brook is Estonia-bound, having just received confirmation that she has qualified to represent Great Britain once again to race in the 2020 Standard Distance Triathlon European Championships in Tartu next summer. Christine's qualification into Team GB's Triathlon Squad meant she was eligible to apply to the council and Fylde Coast YMCA for a performance pass, which she has now been granted.

The 55-year-old local triathlete has been selected to represent Team GB due to her recent performances - it's safe to say Christine is propelled to show what she can do. The selection criteria for Christine requires that she finish in the top four of her age category from

34

The performance pass allows access to local YMCA Health and Fitness centres on the Fylde Coast through an application process where certain criteria must be met. So far this year the YMCA and Wyre Council have assisted three local, aspiring GB athletes to become the best they can be and inspire the next generation.

On successfully gaining a performance pass, Christine added, "Such is the breadth of the YMCA Health and Fitness offer it allows me to adapt and combine my training for all of the different triathlon disciplines. The YMCA has an excellent swim, cycle and running programme that will assist me to improve my agility, stamina, strength, speed and power. I look forward to using the YMCA facilities in order to enhance my training. Next year I'm looking to qualify for another European Middle-Distance event. None of this is possible without the help and backing of the YMCA and Wyre Council."

Councillor Lynne Bowen, Portfolio Holder for Leisure, Culture and Tourism at Wyre Council comments, "It's great that together with Fylde Coast YMCA the council can support athletes such as Christine in this way. This initiative is designed to help Wyre's sporting starts to be at the top of their game and represent the country at the highest level.

We wish Christine the best of luck in her training and at the championships next year."
