FLEETWOOD EDITION Your FREE Local Community & Business Directory Hello and welcome to the first LINK Magazine of 2013!

We enter the New Year as the North West’s biggest free monthly magazine. More than 116,000 copies of the best community mag are circulated every month.

We hope the year has started as well as you had hoped and that you’re still keeping your resolutions – you might even find something to help you keep them within these very pages.

Our own resolution is to keep providing an excellent magazine bustling full of exciting bargains and top quality products delivered by the best companies in Lancashire. Well, that and to stop eating so much chocolate! So far, so good – except on the chocolate front!

We’ll be launching our brand new website next month. It will contain online directories and much more to make your life even easier!

Congratulations to the winners of last month’s competition. Alan Whipp of Blackpool won our Where Am I? Competition, so well done - £50 is on its way to you!

Don’t forget, LINK Magazine also offers competitive leaflet print and distribution for up to 116,000 homes and businesses across the Fylde Coast and Preston, as well as offering FREE ‘What’s On’ listings for most local events.

LINK Magazine is your local community & business directory.

GET IT COVERED, GET IN LINK! Many Thanks

ROLEX…WHAT A DIFFERENCE A NAME MAKES ! !

Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law, Alfred Davis, founded Wilsdorf and Davis, the company that would eventually become Rolex SA, in London, England in 1905 Wilsdorf and Davis’ main business at the time was importing Hermann Aegler’s Swiss movements to England and placing them in quality watch cases made by Dennison and others. These early wristwatches were sold to jewellers, who then put their own names on the dial. The earliest watches from Wilsdorf and Davis were usually hallmarked “W&D” inside the caseback.

In 1908, Wilsdorf registered the trademark “Rolex” and opened an office in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.

The company name “Rolex” was registered on 15 November 1915. The book The Best of Time: Rolex Wristwatches: An Unauthorized History by Jeffrey P. Hess and James Dowling says that the name was just made up. One story, never confirmed by Wilsdorf, is that the name came from the French phrase horlogerie exquise, meaning “exquisite clockwork.”

In October 2012, Gerrards were pleased to feature two fine examples of Rolex wrist watches in their auction as shown below. Today the difference in comparative prices/quality is quite staggering - watches can start for as little as say £5 and they all carry out the same function of telling us the time – What a difference a name makes !

The Friends of Fleetwood Museum will hold their Annual Dinner at the North Euston Hotel on Tuesday January 29th at 7.30pm. This event is usually the highlight of the Friends social calendar and there is still time to book your place. There will be a three course meal and the guest speaker will be the Radio Wave presenter, Andy Mitchell. Tickets cost £19.95.

Full details of menu and booking arrangements can be obtained from the Museum (01253 876621).

Last year was another busy one for the Museum and in 2013 we look forward to two new exhibitions. From April to June we will have an Egyptology exhibition and from July an exhibition looking at the Titanic’s links with Lancashire. The annual Victorian Seaside fortnight for schools runs from May 13th to 24th.

Local teachers interested in bringing school groups for that special event, can ring the Museum for further details.

In conclusion, we would like to thank all local residents for their ongoing support and look forward to seeing you all again in 2013.

Dr Barbara Barrie

Know 4 sure When it comes to cancer, there are 4 key signs to look out for:

1. Unexplained blood that doesn’t come from an obvious injury 2. An unexplained lump 3. Unexplained weight loss, which feels significant to you 4. Any type of unexplained pain that doesn’t go away Chances are it’s nothing serious, but finding it early makes it more treatable. So if you notice any of these signs, tell your doctor.

Slimming World Janet Hutchinson who runs Slimming World groups in Fleetwood, Thornton and Blackpool says: “By learning from other slimmers’ success, and perhaps where they’ve gone wrong with past New Year’s resolutions, people in the Fylde who want to slim down this January can give themselves the best possible chance of achieving their goal.

“Successful weight loss isn’t just about losing weight, it’s about keeping it off too. Making temporary changes and going on a ‘diet’ that’s unsustainable in the long-term will only ever be a quick fix, meaning you’re bound to regain any weight you lose – and maybe more – as soon as you go back to your normal eating habits. The key is to make healthy, realistic changes to your lifestyle that you can keep up for the rest of your life.”

For all the help, support and guidance required to succeed and stay slim for life just call into your local group or contact Janet on 01253 772901. Email janetdiane5@aol.com

THE MOUNT RACING CLUB UPDATE

New Addition for 2013 We are pleased to announce the arrival of a new addition to the ranks of the Mount Racing Club and a brand new syndicate for 2013.

She’s a gorgeous looking 2yo filly by Majestic Missile and really caught our eye as soon as she arrived from Ireland, we had no hesitation in staking a claim in her.

She is in training with Karl and Elaine Burke who have an excellent record with their 2yos and have enjoyed plenty of success with their purchases from Ireland, including the likes of Lady Jourdain and Letstalkaboutmoney. We have every confidence that this trend will continue with our filly and cannot wait to see her on the track

She is an easy moving sort with a great temperament and has been fully broken in and ridden away and is pleasing everyone with her progress so far, a proper early type. She is very well bred with plenty of Black Type in her pedigree and if she turns out to be half as good as she looks we could be in for some really good days out.

Anyone who would like to get involved in this exciting new syndicate or would like to arrange a visit up to Karl and Elaine Burkes stables to seethe horse can do so by calling either

The Sire Majestic Missile was a top class sprinter at 2-5 years who won the Group 3 Cornwallis stakes at Ascot as well as a Group 3 at Longchamp. He’s from a fast family and has made a good start at stud with his first 2 crops.

That’s a lot of money, which could not have been achieved without YOU. The Principle Charity this year is for the “National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children”. I think that you will agree that this is an excellent choice given the current situation. I know every year I ask for your support, but I believe that this cause deserves that little bit more help

Swim times are: - 1000 1100 1200 We require teams of 6 and a captain.

If you need to swim at a particular time, please contact me as soon as you can (phone 875548). If you know of anybody else that would like to join in, ask him or her to contact me. The reason for only 3 swims is that we are charged £120per hour for the pool, sad but true.

For an application form please contact: Lion Stuart Gratrix Fleetwood & Cleveleys Lions Club Tel: 01253 875548

took away their ideas to be used in the eventual planning of the new park. Mr Gillingham hopes to return to the school at a later date to set up a series of focus groups to further refine plans for this exciting regeneration.

Year 8 and Year 9 students at Fleetwood High School were involved in Wyre Council’s “Takeover Day” last week.

Head of Humanities and organising teacher, Mr Lee Morrison, said, “It was an important way of letting students have their say and contribute in a positive way to the improvement of their town.”

The event was organised by the high school’s Humanities Faculty and saw students working with the local council in consultation about how Fleetwood’s Memorial Park should be regenerated.

Fleetwood High School Students ‘Take Over’ Memorial Park

The day involved a Council Officer, Mark Gillingham, visiting school to present plans for redevelopment of the park to students. Pupils then took part in a planning exercise to offer their thoughts regarding how the park should be re-designed.

Mr Gillingham commented on how impressed he was with the thoughtful and mature responses from Fleetwood High School students, and he

The prestigious Howseman Prize for outstanding achievement went to Samantha Eykyn who attained the highest results in the year group.

Fleetwood High School Annual Awards 2012 Fleetwood High School proudly held their Annual Awards Evening this week when the class of 2012 were reunited to celebrate their examination achievements.

Guest speaker for the evening was Stuart Walker, who also presented certificates and prizes. Mr Walker is a fine example of aspirational success, beginning his career as a Deck Officer Apprentice and moving on to eventually become General Manager for P & O Irish Sea Ferries. He has also lectured at the Nautical College and now works as a consultant.

Headteacher, Richard Barnes, said “Although I was only Headteacher for a matter of weeks before Year 11 2012 took their exams, it was uplifting to see so many of our young people succeed and hear that the majority have now moved on to further education.”

Santa and his helper with a local family.

In December Fleetwood Rotary traveled around the streets of Fleetwood with Santa and his sleigh.

Donations were collected and will be used to purchase 200 food parcels for deserving people in Fleetwood. They also received tinned food which will be given for distribution to the Mustard Seed project at St. Peters Church and West view Community Group.

President of Fleetwood Rotary Shaun MacNeill said, “We would like to thank the people of Fleetwood for their magnificent support. Santa was delighted to see so many children waving and talking to him. He is sorry he could not get to the Littlewood, Oxford Road and Park area on Thursday the 6th December but tried to get to some of these areas on the Friday. Thank you to Aldi for all their help. �
