And did I mention events are free?!

Well done to last month’s competition winner: Maureen Rigg. £50 is on its way, and also Ms Byrne of Rossall, too - who is the winner of a free MOT at James Jackson’s Central Garage.

The most thoughtful decision you could make At J T Byrne, two generations of the family work together to make funeral arrangements With a pre-paid funeral plan, the cost of which is that little bit easier to handle at a time when frozen at today’s price, you are protected against inflation and any other price increase, no matter how you need help most. much they rise in the future.

Established in 1989, they are the only fully qualified, It reassures you loved ones that your wishes will be truly independent funeral directors in Thornton, recorded and carried out, and allows them to grieve Cleveleys & Fleetwood, and deliver a personal service during a most difficult period of time. with both professionalism and dignity.

Dying is certainty of life, but it still remains a subject which some feel difficult to talk about. It means that, more often than not, funeral arrangements aren’t discussed or made in advance.

This can, unfortunately mean wishes aren’t always met, and grieving families need to make arrangements at short notice during a very difficult time for them - emotionally & financially.

It also means that your family doesn’t have to worry about the money for your funeral to be paid for, it has already been taken care of.

For more information on our pre-paid funeral plans, please telephone our office and we will send you more information or alternatively call in for a chat in person, the kettle is always on.

A funeral plan from your local independent funeral director makes perfect sense

With a Golden Charter funeral plan you’ll benefit from: • Protection against rising funeral costs • Reassurance for your family – no uncertainty or difficult decisions • Complete flexibility to choose the funeral you want • Guaranteed acceptance

Hugh’s for veg?

The TV chef's been cooking up meat-free meals, to prove to himself, and viewers, that veggie cooking is no dull alternative.

Here are three tasty recipes from Fearnley-Whittingstall's veggie kitchen...   (Serves 2) ingredients 750ml vegetable stock 50g pearled spelt (or pearl barley) A few leaves of cabbage, kale or greens, or a couple of handfuls of spinach, washed 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced 100g frozen peas or petits pois 400g tin cannellini or other white beans, drained and rinsed Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Extra virgin olive oil, to finish Bring the stock to the boil in a saucepan. Add the spelt (or barley), reduce the heat and simmer until almost tender, (this should take about 15 minutes, or a bit longer for barley).

Meanwhile, remove any tough stalks or ribs from the greens or spinach and shred the leaves roughly.

Add the carrot, peas and tinned beans to the broth. Once it returns to a simmer, add the greens or spinach and cook for a further two to three minutes, until just tender.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, then ladle into bowls.

Sorbus (Rowan)

This deciduous tree comes into its own in autumn when it bears bunches of bright red berries and its foliage turns rich red or warm yellows.

S. aucuparia, the most common variety, is a mediumsized tree which can grow to 15m (50ft) and produces clusters of creamy-white flowers in spring followed by the berries in autumn. Other good varieties include S. commixta, which is a slightly smaller tree with outstanding autumn foliage colour, as the leaves turn shades of vivid red, yellow and purple, and S. sargeniana, a large-leaved, slow-growing variety which takes on brilliant shades of red and orange in autumn, plus scarlet fruits. Sorbus should be planted in the sun or dappled shade in fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil. They make beautiful specimen trees.

 Keep herbs going through Winter If you're worried about missing the flavours of all those home-grown herbs which you used throughout the summer, there are easy ways to keep stocked through the winter without going to the supermarket.  Sow a flowerpot full of basil seed, keeping it on a warm, sunny windowsill until the seedlings appear. Pick the leaves regularly to add to Italian dishes and sow some more in a few weeks' time to keep the supply up.  If you've grown mint or parsley outdoors in summer, cut off a clump of it, complete with roots, and plant into a container of compost and keep it on a sunny windowsill to keep the plant going. Alternatively sow a pot or half-tray of parsley seeds every three months and the plants will keep growing all year round.  Evergreens such as rosemary and thyme will keep going through the winter months, so just snip a bit off when you need it.

Try to keep the site fully occupied - if there are neglected or vacant plots, encourage friends and neighbours to take them on. That way, a hard-pushed local authority would be less likely to sell it to developers, claiming there is no demand.

2

If your site is not thriving, take a more active role in selfmanagement, sparking enthusiasm so that everyone pulls together and takes pride in the site. Councils offer various levels of independence, but it is in their interest to hand over some of the management as it saves them time and money.

3

Run your allotment organically, putting wildlife habitats in place.

At 15.00 we will be enjoying a splendid afternoon tea in the museum’s Victorian Dining Room. Tickets are on sale at £5 including afternoon tea.

Our final speaker of the season will be Dr. Stephen Musgrave, former second coxswain of Fleetwood Lifeboat and lecturer at Fleetwood Nautical Campus..

Looking ahead to November, The Friends of the Museum will be holding their ever popular Lancashire Night on Lancashire Day November 27th at 7.30pm in the upstairs function room of the Strawberry Gardens.

There will be the usual tomfoolery and Lancashire Dialect humour. Tickets are now on sale from Museum reception priced £8 ,including supper.

In preparation for winter, our 1905 Fleetwood built fishing smack Judy has been re-wrapped by the county technicians. While it was uncovered in August we were able to make a complete photographic record of the vessel.

Why Advertise?

We will explain why this is a great marketing platform

• LINK-MAG is run by local people with good local knowledge and has an ethos of helping businesses have access to a cost effective and good quality advertising media, that hits more doors than any other local media.

• The magazines are designed to focus on each local area so the reader identifies the strong local product and see it as their local magazine. As well as being branded to focus on each local area, each magazine has a professional photograph for each issue, making it easily identifiable when compared to other media.

• The magazine also has a balance of editorial and useful information from competitions, useful numbers, what’s on guides and much more.

This gives it a longer shelf-life and our customers a good response on their advertising.

• LINK-MAG can also be viewed online in full colour and they are emailed out to our database each month as well as several thousand online page views.

FLEETWOOD TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB Fleetwood Town v Torquay Utd, Skybet League 2 Saturday 7th Sept 2013 KO 3pm, Highbury Stadium Graham Alexander is glad to be back at Highbury on Saturday after three weeks away.

The Cod Army will host Torquay United in Sky Bet League 2 following trips to Hartlepool, AFC Wimbledon and, most recently, Tranmere Rovers on Tuesday in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy. And the Fleetwood Town boss also wants to reward the support his side have received on the road since the start of the season.

Saturday and we’re really looking forward to playing at home.”

Fleetwood head into the match off the back of 2-1 win at Tranmere in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy, where Jamille Matt scored twice in only his second start of the season.

It has left Alexander with a selection dilemma in attack, as he also revealed that David Ball will be in contention despite suffering a cut above his eye at Prenton Park.

“We’ve been travelling quite a bit recently, so we’re looking forward to coming back to Highbury and putting on a performance for the fans,” he said.

“I wouldn’t say the selection is a problem, it’s more of a conundrum for me that I have to pick the right team to win the game on Saturday.

“They’ve followed us all over the country, north and south, so we have to put on a performance that rewards their loyalty to us, and I think we can do that on Saturday.”

“David Ball has got a nasty gash above his eye, and it’s a little bit bruised as well, but he should be included in the squad.

The last time Town played at home was in a 3-2 defeat to Burton Albion – a day featuring torrential rain and a second-half fightback from Alexander’s side which fell just short.

“There’s a little bit of a bad feeling inside me from when we got beat by Burton, even though we finished the game fantastically well,” Alexander continued.

“Like everyone else, I got soaked that day. I had two different jackets on and the rain still came through.

We really took the game to them in the second half and just ran out of time really, but we still lost the game and we don’t want to get in the habit of that.

“He’s a brave lad Bally, and he puts himself about, even when up against bigger players. The cut won’t stop him from being involved on Saturday.

“Everyone that is in the squad for Saturday has started a game now this season, which is great for me and the players, and I do believe in the group as a whole and not just a select band of it.

“We haven’t got carbon copies of each other, we’ve got different lads with different qualities, and we’ll use them over the course of the season to win as many games as possible.”

The Highbury ticket office is open Friday until 5pm and Saturday from 9am until kick-off at 3pm.

“It’s important we get our home form really up and running, and consistent. It’s a big game for us on

FY7 Community Beat Hello, It’s been a busy few months for us with the hot weather but sadly that’s coming to an end!!

I would ask as ever that if you are a parent and your children are out playing, you know where they are and who they are with. We don’t want anybody to get into trouble purely by the company they keep, but sadly that is happening time and time again. When we tell parents what their children have been up to, it’s agreed their behaviour is usually out of character and it’s down to the company they keep. If we become involved, things have gone too far and all of it can so easily be avoided.

We have placed a number of young people on Acceptable Behaviour Contracts this summer in an effort to control their behaviour. Most respond positively and receive support from their parents. An ABC is the start of the ASBO process and we do all we can to stop things getting that far. It’s a great tool for us to use which has a massive impact on the quality of lives for people that do get affected by anti-social behaviour.

seen a total of 75 iPads go missing.

You may have already seen a media appeal for this but I urge anybody who knows anything to get in touch with us or the school as soon as possible.
