FLEETWOOD EDITION Your FREE Local Community & Business Directory Hello and welcome to the latest edition of LINK Mag! I don’t want to worry you, but Christmas is creeping ever closer!

Loads of the many businesses featured in this month’s magazine have incredible seasonal offers on – so make sure you keep your eyes peeled for a bargain or two, although I bet one or two readers will have started their Christmas shopping in January!

There’s still loads to do before then though. Remember, remember… erm, what date is it again? Oh yeah, the 5th November. The night when the smell of gunpowder and burning wood fills the air and the crackling of constant fireworks excites people of all ages.

Wrap up warm and head down to one of the many bonfires arranged throughout the Fylde Coast: Cottam Hall in Poulton, Blackpool Cricket Club at Stanley Park, Rossall School and more!

WIN 2 FREE Tickets to watch Southend Utd match at Fleetwood Town FC 8th December, simply answer the question and be entered into the draw, see inside.

Congratulations to the winners of last month’s competitions.

Margaret Dyer of Blackpool won our Where Am I? Competition, so well done - £50 is on its way to you!

Tolleys’ Ryecroft Hall Has been managed by current owners Clive Tolley and his wife Diana since 1996. Set in the picturesque country village of Hambleton, just four miles from Poulton-le-Fylde, this venue was perfect for professional chef Clive to develop the restaurant utilizing his culinary and management skills.

Sixteen years on, the property has been extended and the entire building has been refurbished. Clive’s reputation as a top chef is now well known, and he continues to create menus using fresh local products to tempt the taste buds at affordable prices.

A one-time chef instructor in the RAF and senior chef lecturer at Birmingham College of Food he continues to pass on his knowledge and skills with the very successful ‘Night’s in the Kitchen’. Here guests are invited into the restaurant’s extensive kitchen where they are taught techniques and dishes to use at home whilst sampling copious amounts of food and wine all for £20.00 per session.

TWO COURSES for only £12.00 or THREE for £15.50

At Tolleys’, menus have been created for all occasions to tempt your taste buds. From traditional Sunday lunches to table d’hote with a la carte dishes, they offer a wide selection of meats, fish, poultry and vegetarian food to suit all tastes.

Tolleys’ personalised approach to catering for weddings and functions keeps them continually busy throughout the year. In the largest of the function suites, the Lancaster Room, the décor is more contemporary with state-of-the-art furnishings.

A high-tech sound and lighting system, specially designed dance floor and disco lighting make it perfect for wedding receptions, club installations, formal banqueting and private parties. With its comfortable reception and bar area, the venue remains a popular choice. It can seat up to 100 people for formal dining or 140 for buffets starting at £7.00.

For more intimate occasions there are two private rooms, The Parlour and The Gallery, with seating from 10 to 26 guests. These are used extensively for celebrations and exclusive dining.

There is no room hire charge of any of Tolleys’ accommodation. Guests are charged for food and drink costs only.

Having been a part of the catering industry for nearly two decades, Lisa McGovern was on a sabbatical when she heard of a unique opportunity she wasn’t able to resist.

All products are sourced locally where possible, and the restaurant serves Cumbrian steak. Everything (and we mean everything) is served fresh and is homemade, including all the sauces and the desserts, which makes the low prices even more appealing.

The well-loved and hugely popular Village Tuck into a separate Sunday lunch menu from 12pm Steakhouse was up for grabs, and Lisa jumped at the – 8pm every week, and rotating, seasonal menus that chance to bring the traditional steakhouse ethos and take advantage of the available local produce all year atmosphere into the 21st century. round.

A complete refurbishment followed: new bar, new restaurant, new function room and modern décor that delightfully manages to retain the rustic charm of its predecessor. The result is The New Village Steakhouse, an intimate dining experience that suits diners of all ages.

The well-loved early bird menu is back – so you can continue to treat yourself to a three-course meal for just £12.95. Alternatively, main meals cost just £8.95 and two-course meals just £10.95. Or sample the extensive a la carte menu, eaten in a contemporary yet classic environment, served by friendly staff who are passionate about serving a fantastic culinary experience and not just a dish.

Enjoy your meal with an extensive wine menu, which includes a wide imported variety. The house wine is of the highest quality and is served at the best possible price, debunking the myth you have to break the bank to enjoy a mouthwatering glass of red with your steak.

THE MOUNT RACING CLUB UPDATE

New Yearling Syndicate Launched New Yearling Syndicate launched We are pleased to announce a brand new Yearling syndicate for 2013 and would like to get as many local people involved as we can. A lot of people are always put off the idea of racehorse ownership simply because of the cost but with the a syndicate the beauty of it is that you can decide to put in as much as you want or as little as you want depending on circumstances. Our aim this year is to break down the costs into 3 price structures so that is feasible for everyone to become part of it, and once you’re a member you still get all the full ownership entitlements such as monthly newsletter, invites to stable visits and gallops mornings, complimentary owners badges when the horse runs and your share of any prize money won.

Lokis Strike After his success at Redcar Loki went to Thirsk and again hopes were high of another good run, but unfortunately things were not to turn out as anticipated as Loki came home a somewhat puzzling 9th of 13. After his run Loki was tested and scoped dirty suggesting all was not well with him, he then developed a ‘snotty nose’ and this at least goes someway to explaining his below par run. He’s under gone a 2 week course of antibiotics and is now back in training.

So if getting involved in racehorse ownership is something you’ve always dreamt of well now is the time to turn it into reality and this time next year you could be stood there cheering home your very own winner.

Jessica Bethell Finally we would just like to join the rest of the racing comunity and pay our respects to the family of Jessica Bethell who died suddenly at the age of 24.

Jess was well known and liked in the racing world and was assistant to her father the trainer James Bethell at their family run yard in Middleham. She will be sadly missed by all her family, friends and racing colleagues.

R.I. P Jess.

every year the country’s skies erupt with colour, but there’s more to bonfire night than the fireworks....

remember, remember...

the 5th of November!

We’ve all heard this rhyme and know it’s related to Bonfire Night and something to do with Guy Fawkes and the Houses of Parliament. Or was it the House of Commons?

Well, to try and clear up any doubts over what we are actually celebrating on 5 November every year, and how to celebrate it in style, we’ve put together a little guide.

It’s only natural that we start right at the beginning with the history of Bonfire Night. The main cause for this near-catastrophic event in British history was, of course, stemmed in religion.

When King James I came to the English throne in 1605 he established his power in the persecution of as many Catholics as possible, being a devout Protestant himself.

Obviously, the Catholics, who weren’t even allowed to practice their beliefs, opposed this idea and the famous ‘Gunpowder Plot’ was born. Aiming to blow up the Houses of Parliament and all who were inside (namely King James), the group sent the legendary Guy Fawkes to keep watch over the barrels of gunpowder hidden under the Parliament floors. He was found and arrested and the plan was blown to pieces. In celebration of his lucky escape, King James ordered for a bonfire to take place each year in remembrance.

BONFire NiGHt Was BOrN. 42

Steeped in tradition, the whole of Britain comes out and enjoys 5 November year after year, no matter the weather. It’s probably better if the fire doesn’t turn to embers as quickly as it starts, but hey, whether it’s raining, blowing a gale or (fingers crossed!) crisp and dry, we all love a good bonfire.

Every bonfire party should never be without good food, whether it’s at an organised event or a private party at home, toffee apples and bonfire lollies are a must, as are marshmallows cooked over the open flames. Delicious, hearty food should always be provided, so think sausage casseroles, beef stews and chilli con carne, and a large glass of mulled wine or spiced cider is always a good idea for warming your hands on. Try hot apple juice and cinnamon for the kids.

To get the most out of your bonfire, make sure you invest in some decent fireworks, and I don’t mean the £10 ones bought from your corner shop which just spit an array of colours whilst never moving off the ground. Check to see if there is a safe, organised firework event in your local area where all the family can enjoy the spectacular fireworks.

Where else in the world can you stand around in the freezing cold, eating burnt sausages and roasted chestnuts watching the sky light up before you? Get your friends and family round, wave a few sparklers and have fun with this truly brilliant British tradition.
