THORNTON CLEVELEYS Your FREE Local Community & Business Directory Hello and welcome to the July edition of LINK-MAG! Here at LINK Towers, we had a great time celebrating the Queen’s jubilee, and we hope you did too. With any luck, by the time you’re reading this, English will still be competing in Euro 2012 – fingers crossed(!) – but if not, there’s still plenty to do locally, with all the fabulous local carnivals coming up, as well as ‘Tram Sunday’ on 17 July. Then on 27 July, make sure you join four billion other people worldwide in watching the opening ceremony of the London Olympics. Whether you’re lucky enough to be watching in person, or simply enjoying it on TV, it should be a remarkable event with Trainspotting director Danny Boyle leading a cast of 15,000 performers in showcasing what is truly great about this country. Our NEW business index is in this edition too. Designed to help you quickly and simply find the business you’re looking for at a glance, it can be found near the back of the magazine just inside from the classified pages. Congratulations to the winners of last month’s competitions. Jack Mitchell won our Where Am I? Competition, so well done - £50 is on its way to you!

MILITARIA ANTIQUES - WHERE SO MANY ITEMS TELL A STORY All over the UK, in many auction houses, there is a Militaria section, where enthusiastic collectors compete to add to their collections. The items on offer are wide ranging, with such things swords used in ancient battles, muskets, rifles, bayonets and pistols, uniforms and badges, naval equipment and much more. However it is the medals that tell a story of amazing bravery, courage and sacrifices made by so many members of our armed forces, not only in the two great wars, but in other conflicts around the world and even now in Afghanistan. You only have to read the brief notes of lot 900, which sold in auction on the 3rd May 2012 – to see how three brothers gave their all for our country in the First World War – this being a wonderful story of how each of them, two in the Army and one in the Navy, who served so bravely along with so many others. There are many different collectables in Militaria - for instance, shown here the boxed Kreigsmarin Naval U-Boat Sextant from the 1939-45 Second World War and an Army Colt Revolver (de-activated of course!) and so on. It really is a most interesting collecting area and extremely popular in the UK. Citation reads: “For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty for a long period of active service as battalion(s) medical oficers orderly, when with great bravery and skill he attended wounded under the most heavy shellfire and the worst conditions of mud, with absolute disregard for personal fatigue and safety.” For Gallentry in the field - next higher, the Victoria Cross. Able Seaman Harry Mitcher (The illfated HMS Hampshire) KIA 26.6.1916. A Very Rare WWI Family Group. A. Mitchner (CPL-LT SGT Roual Warwicks) A distinguished conduct medal for Italy 3.6.1918
Rifleman G. Mitchner. 10th Battalion Kings Royal Rifle Corps. KIA 12.12.1915 The above is presented in an art deco rosewood frame and a full history for all three brothers is available. Sold for £1400
ST GEORGES ROAD LYTHAM ST ANNES FY8 2AE

Little Thornton Womens Institute
On May 21st, Fleetwood W.I.hosted this years Group Meeting in providing a memorable evening. A retired local teacher, Dennis Moore’s talk,” Laughter is the best medicine” shared some amusing memories from his working life. A delicious array of yummy cakes and tea was enjoyed in the interval, whilst Gina Bignelli entertained us on her accordion, singing a variety of songs. When the tables were cleared, we joined Gina for a singalong of popular songs through the ages. 2013 will be Little Thornton’s turn to be Group Hostesses, so watch this space! Red white and blue were our costumes for the Jubilee Celebrations on June 6th including some very impressive hats to match. Accompanied on the organ, In Harmony Ladies Choir entertained us with a variety of songs, ending with a singalong, Land of Hope and Glory, and the customary waving of flags. Members settled down to enjoy a delightful light buffet and a toast to The Queen. Everyone agreed it was an evening with a difference, long to be remembered. The biennial bursary of £300 towards a course at Denman College was this year awarded to Marie Cosgrove. There is a wide choice of courses, that can be taken in 2012 /2013.
Our 2nd trip of 2012 was on 13th June to the award- winning bustling Bury market in the morning. In the afternoon we visited the Haworth Museum at Accrington to see the permanent exhibition of Tiffany glass, the largest outside U.S.A. A short introductory talk was given by the curator, followed by complementary tea, coffee and biscuits, and a walk in the beautiful gardens if so desired.

SLATERS SERVICE CENTRE Tel: 01253 853 994 Mick Slater has been fixing cars for over twenty years. After working his way up to the top rank of Master Technician at Ford, he decided to fulfill a life-long ambition – start his own business.
“We’ve also got an extended ramp so we can service camper vans,” Mick added. “With the bigger ramp we can do stuff nobody else can.”
Mick said: “Our fully qualified staff offer a better service than anywhere else. Everything we do is exactly the same as the main dealer but we do it a lot cheaper.”

GOING ON HOLIDAY?
What about the garden?
So many gardeners see all their work go to pot when they are away from home in the summer, as containers dry out, lawns go brown and many plants run to seed in their absence.
However, there are ways to minimise the suffering your plants endure if you are away in the event of a prolonged spell of warm, dry weather. Your first port of call is your neighbours and family.
Don't worry about your lawn.

Give veg a really good soaking before you go,
DON’T FORGET If you do rely on your friends and neighbours to do the watering for you while you're away, make sure you bring them back a present and always offer to return the favour.

Postcard from Cleveleys Oh I say, what a couple of months this has been, and it’s not over yet! Cleveleys isn’t the kind of seaside place that closes out of season, and even in the middle of winter it’s busy. Over the long Jubilee weekend of June people enjoyed intermittent hot weather and a chance to holiday at the coast, and the promenade was heaving with hundreds of people enjoying it. Then the Olympic Torch made its way through town on 22 June – along Victoria Road West to the promenade and on to Blackpool with great celebration on the route.
are to live somewhere like this, that we can enjoy when we feel like and even after a hard day’s work, without a long drive and traffic jams! Keep an eye on the website, www.visitCleveleys. info, for all the latest local developments and community news added regularly. You can subscribe for email updates to make sure that you don’t miss out!
If you’ve got anything to tell us just email jane@theRabbitPatch.co.uk or ring 07932 143431.
The summer is far from over, and the next big thing is golf fever, as the Open comes to Lytham on 15 July. Even though the event is centred around the southern end of the coast, we all get the spin off from the week long event with international coverage, and the place is sure to be busy! Hopefully the new car park at Jubilee Gardens, along with the bus station improvements, will be completed before the Classic Vehicle event at Cleveleys on 19 August. The end of July also marks the start of the summer season proper, and where better to enjoy your time than at the lovely Cleveleys. How lucky us residents

Paul Gailey
‘Diary of a local Councillor’ Paul Galley is a Councillor for Anchorsholme in Blackpool and each month he writes a weekly diary of what he has been up to. Monday: I was really pleased to host our first ‘Community Gardening’ day this afternoon. The aim of the first day was to brighten up some flowerbeds along Huntingdon Road. I had started to tidy up one of the beds last year, planting Daffodil bulbs that flowered this spring, so I decided to ask local residents if they were interested in helping with the others. The turn out was excellent with seven residents helping out. We weeded, tidied the beds and planted some new plants and flowers. I’m really thrilled that so many people came along and I would like to extend a thank you for Justine from Blackpool Council who gave us lots of advice and support. One of my aims is to improve the appearance of the ward and I will be looking into other gardening days in different areas of the ward in the future. Tuesday: This morning I attended a meeting regarding the establishment of a computer club at St Teresa’s. The aim of the club is to teach people of all ages how to use computers and the internet. Councillor Williams and I will be investing some of our ward budget into the club. It’s vital that people of all ages have the opportunity to learn how to use computers and the internet because so many services and news are directed through the internet. In the evening I attended our monthly Friends of East Pines Park meeting. Our Easter fair was a huge success and we raised just over £600, which is the most that we have raised in one day. We are now busy planning our summer fair, to be held in the park on Saturday July 7th and it’s going to be huge with a football tournament and lots of events.

Wednesday: In the morning I called the Bingo Club at St Teresa’s. It’s always such a fun event to attend and if anyone has a spare moment do come along it’s at the Church hall every Wednesday morning from 10am to 12pm. In the afternoon Councillor Williams and I went to view the new trees planted on North Drive. We are both so eager to improve the visual appearance of Anchorsholme and believe that trees bring so much to the area. If any residents around the North Drive area notice that they need watering, particularly in hot weather, then both Councillor Williams and I would appreciate it if you could water them, particularly during this vital time when the trees roots need to establish themselves. Thursday: I went to see a number of residents about the footpath work on Seabrook Drive and the poor state of the work on pavements in the area. We had high hopes that the pavements would be fully tarmaced instead the council have only tarmaced them in one layer close to the curb and the rest of the pavement has been repaved leaving a very odd looking pavement. Cllr Williams and myself are now lobbying the Council hard to get the job properly completed. Friday: Today saw 600 Gazanias planted in Anchorsholme Park, the first time the park has had its’ flower beds planted with bedding plants in years. I designed the beds based on some I had seen in Congleton Park. The aim of the flowers is to give a very colourful park welcome to those who come in through the Anchorsholme Lane entrance. It’s part of my plan to restore Anchorsholme Park to its very colourful heyday in the 1970’s. It will be lovely to see the flowers when they have fully bloomed. The new noticeboard should be installed in the two months. I’m determined that in two years time the park will be one of the best in the Fylde.
Many thanks Paul Galley Councillor for Anchorsholme

Thornton Cleveleys RUFC
Thornton-Cleveleys RUFC have started to dust off the cobwebs after the end of season break and have begun to prepare themselves for the season ahead. The club’s award winning touch Rugby competition has continued for a 2nd year and is well underway, with 6 teams competing in a friendly, non-contact Rugby tournament. So far the numbers attending have been brilliant but we’re just lacking the glorious weather we were graced with last year! Touch Rugby is a great way to improve skills and fitness levels without the risk of injury and gives everyone a chance to get involved in the sport of Rugby, even if their knowledge of the game is limited. Feel free to come along on a Wednesday night from 6.15pm onwards and either play a few games or just watch some exciting touch Rugby.
All new players are welcome, whatever skill level so don’t be afraid to try it out, even if you haven’t played much Rugby before. There’s lots of exciting events coming up in the Thornton-Cleveleys RUFC calendar including an overnight training camp, a training session taken by the one and only Brian Ashton and The Annual Robbie Mckendrick Super 10’s Tournament. Check the website www.thorntonrugby.com for more details and updates of upcoming events or just turn up to Thornton YMCA on a Wednesday or Saturday, there’s usually plenty going on! We hope to see you there!
Pre-season is ever getting closer and begins, the week after the touch Rugby competition finishes, on Wednesday the 4th of July. Training starts at 6.30pm and usually ends around 8.30pm so if you’re free for a few hours in the evening, why not come down to your local side and give Rugby a go?
