POULTON LE FYLDE Your FREE Local Community & Business Directory Hello and welcome to the latest edition of LINK Magazine! I’m sure you’re all very well prepared for Christmas morning, but if not, don’t worry – there’s loads of cracking festive deals inside with something for everyone.
And you don’t even have to traipse round packed shops dodging patches of ice and far-too-tempting sale signs – you can find your perfect gift within these very pages, as well as valuable services you may need during these cold, winter days. I know the shops have us thinking it started in November (earlier and earlier every year, eh), but it really is the time to start getting in the mood for Christmas now. So invite your family round, grab a mince pie, a glass of sherry, stick some carols on the radio and have an amazing time. Of course Christmas also means it’s almost time to say goodbye to 2012, and whether you’re reflecting on a great year, or celebrating its end, everybody at LINK wishes you the very best for Christmas and the new year. Thank you so much for your support this year. Congratulations to the winners of last month’s competition. Christine McMurray won our Where Am I? Competition, so well done - £50 is on its way to you! BREAKING NEWS: LINK-MAG is expanding into Preston with our NEW PRESTON NORTH edition starting in early 2013, if you looking to expand your advertising in the North West Biggest & Best FREE monthly community magazine GET IN TOUCH!

and other kitchen accessories, they offer their expert advice on what would make your brand new kitchen extra special – all as part of their service.
After working for a leading kitchen company, the pair spotted the need for a personal, quality service in an industry chasing sales targets and not customer satisfaction.
After extensive research and scrutiny of many manufacturers, Image Kitchen Design decided to offer the lucrative Crown range of kitchens.
So, in July, they set about providing the kitchen design service that would meet their own high standards of design and customer service – both offered at the most competitive prices and the very best quality. After months of careful precision planning, Image Kitchen Design is raring to go. A showroom will be opening in spring, but a full range of kitchens in all styles and budgets is now available.
Image Kitchen Design quotes all customers individually based on your exact requirements, but from phone call to completion – including design and kitchen fitting including electrics and plumbing – start from under £4,999. Pam and Joan offer a full project management service, and often go the extra mile for their customers. And while they don’t supply tiles, blinds

Postcard from Poulton Your mind might be on Christmas and the festive season, but along the Fylde Coast the tide continues to come in and out twice every day – bringing a whole lot of debris with it. The debris is not just unsightly, it’s also a serious threat to wildlife which lives on the beaches and in our seas. It’s also a marker of a much more serious problem, and the sanitary waste which washes up stems from overflows from the sewage system.
Don’t forget to check out the new Events Calendar, with details of meetings, events, entertainment and more. You can find it on the website, www. visitPoulton-le-Fylde. info, along with local developments and community news. You can subscribe for email updates to make sure that you don’t miss out, and follow it on Facebook too
If you’ve got anything to tell us just email jane@theRabbitPatch.co.uk or ring 07932 143431.
At times of heavy rainfall, and let’s face it we’ve had more than our fair share, there’s too great a volume of water at once for the system to cope. It only takes blockages with fats, rags and things that shouldn’t go down the drain, and the sewage system overflows into watercourses. That might be wrong, but it would be really wrong for it to flood our streets and homes. Each one of us can help by not putting things down our sinks, drains and toilets that should go in a bin.

Christmas bookings are now being accepted. Suda Thai cuisine opened it’s doors in Jan 2009 as a takeaway and was soon able to provide a delivery service and intimate dinning experience.

POULTON-LE-FYLDE THROUGH TIME
CHRISTINE STOREY Poulton - the town by the pool - is situated in the North West of England in the county of Lancashire. The name is derived from the River Wyre, situated at the bottom of the Breck at Skippool. In 1842 ‘le-Fylde’ was added to the name when the Penny Post began, to stop local post mistakenly being sent north to another village called Poulton - later to become Poulton-le-Sands; it is now part of Morecombe. Join Christine Storey on this fascinating visual journey around the town. Using carefully selected old and new images, she shows the changes that have taken place over time. These photographs, along with their informative captions, illustrate a variety of people, trades, buildings, conveyances, customs, professions, processions and above all important events that represent the changing face of a busy market town over the past 100 years.
The Author Christine Storey began her research into the history of Poultonle-Fylde over thirty years ago. Her interest in the past, present and future of Poulton-le-Fylde originally stemmed from her research into her Lewtas ancestors who have lived in the Fylde since the 15th century. She has written two books on Poulton, Poulton-le-Fylde – A History & Guide and Portrait of Poulton, and has contributed articles to various local history journals. She is a founder member and past Chair of Poulton-le-Fylde Historical & Civic Society and a past Chair of the Lancashire Local History Federation.

Congratulations we have been awarded a Silver Gilt Certificate for our efforts with the flowers and plots for Wyre in Bloom, a big THANK YOU to everyone who has helped in any way, from the grass cutters, the people who water the plots on a daily basis and all the folks who weed and keep an eye on the flower beds. Thanks also to the Wyre Council who supplied us with all the plants, they will not in the future be providing this service and we will have to buy our plants privately, this means we will have to have more fund raising events to pay for these. We are indebted to the Shovels Fun Run committee who have kindly donated £200 to our cause.
