SLEEPLESS NIGHT OVER DEBT? More and more people are turning to short-term ‘pay day’ loan companies in a desperate bid to make ends meet during these difficult times.

However, very few seek professional advice before taking out loans that can have interest rates of more than 4,000% APR. Personal debt specialists Adcroft Hilton can help.

They fully support the government’s plan to regulate short-term loan companies, and offer free, friendly and confidential advice to people having a hard time financially. Pop into the office – no appointment is necessary – or give them a call to arrange a home visit.

Adcroft Hilton can help you regain control of your debts and your finances. From consolidating several debts into one management monthly payment, to stopping those intimidating creditor letters, they can help.

30

With their help you may be able to avoid any further action such as County Court Judgements (CCJs) and your home is safe and protected.

We understand asking for help can be embarrassing and can cause anxiety, but more and more people are starting to struggle in this unprecedented triple-dip recession. Our expert team members are here to make you feel completely at ease and to give you peace of mind.

Adcroft Hilton’s modern and forward-thinking approach sits firmly on a pedigree that can be traced back to the financial firms of the early twentieth century, and has helped the firm attain a tremendous reputation for both professionalism and helpfulness.

FULL THROTTLE

Does the GT86 fulfil a desire to recapture the purity of a classic sports car experience?

More often considered safe and reliable, Toyota has taken a step back to its perhaps more care-free past with the launch of the GT86, a 2+2 sports car for the 21st century.

Forget low emissions, low performance and low excitement, this car is about one thing: recapturing the purity of the classic sports car experience.

The 2000GT proved to be a big influence on the development of the GT86, a joint venture with Subaru. Built in 1965 and powered by a 2.0-litre straight-six engine, it helped to establish Toyota’s global reputation as a sports car manufacturer, even though only 337 were manufactured.

The driver-focused coupe is built on a brand new platform and the remit revolved around three basic elements – it had to be rear-wheel drive, have no turbocharging and ordinary tyres.

34

The solution was found in combining Subaru’s newly developed boxer engine with Toyota’s latest fuel injection system. The result is the world’s first horizontally opposed engine with D-4S technology.

The 2.0-litre petrol engine, which revs freely to 7,400rpm, produces 197bhp and is paired with a close-ratio six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.

The GT86 can sprint to 62mph in 7.6 seconds and has a top speed a shade under 140mph.

Economy levels out at around 36mpg for the manual and 40mpg for the automatic while CO2 emissions are 181g/km (manual) and 164g/km (auto).

The GT86 is available in a choice of seven colours with prices starting from £24,995.

It’s not just under the bonnet though where the GT86 draws inspiration. During the design process, a perfectly preserved 2000GT was placed in the studio, paving the way for exterior lines and surfaces that are designed not only to look good, but also help the driver to know just where each corner of the vehicle is at all times.

It’s certainly good to look at and has definite presence.

The steering wheel is the smallest ever fitted to a Toyota while the driving position is 7mm lower than a Porsche Cayman, enhancing the drive of the GT86 even further.

“The same attention to detail transfers into the cockpit, where focus is on functionality and usability”.

Its in-house development code was 086A while the boxer’s engine’s 86mmx86mm square bore and stroke are faithful to Toyota’s sports engine history. Even the diameter of the GT86’s chrome-tipped twin exhausts is 86mm.

The ‘eight six’ in GT86 has played significant part in the car’s development, being more than just a reference to its celebrated ancestor, the Corolla GT AE86.

Performance doesn’t come at a price, as the couple has high levels of standard equipment, including automatic dual-zone air conditioning, Smart Entry and Start system, cruise control, Toyota Touch touchscreen controls system, Bluetooth and USB port.

Paul Galley

‘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: This week started on a very exciting front. Councillor Tony Williams and I attended a meeting with the architect who is putting forward the designs for what the Anchorsholme promenade will look like if we win the bid to improve the sea defences and promenade.

Public support is vital for the success of the bid and a series of public consultations will be held at the end of March and the beginning of April. At these consultations you will be able to talk to the team behind the designs of the promenade and sea defences and ask any questions about the designs as well as seeing the designs themselves. The dates and times for the meetings are: Anchorsholme Library, 28th March 2013, 10am to 7pm. Anchorsholme Methodist Church Hall, 2nd April 2013 7pm to 9pm and St Teresa’s Church Hall on the 5th April 12pm to 2pm. Please do come along and support the bid. The plan is after the consultation there will be a final bid in London and if successful which I’m really optimistic that we will be, construction will start in November this year. So it’s a really exciting time and I’m really chomping at the bit to make sure we get this money to rebuild the prom.

Tuesday: Today I attended the annual Budget at the Town Hall. The debate was lively as it always is, with frank exchanges of opinions about the best way to spend tax payers money and the direction of the council. I love economics so the budget debate is really exciting and I would love to see more emphasis on economic development within Blackpool so I used the day to argue for alternative economic plans to be considered for Blackpool.

Wednesday: This morning I hosted my regular Wednesday morning bingo club at St Teresa’s which was good fun as always. In the evening, Advertise Call 0800 970 7687

I along with fellow Councillor Christian Cox met a group of young people who are undertaking the Duke of Edinburgh scheme. They are a great bunch who are really enjoying the scheme and it’s giving them lots of confidence and skills to be successful adults in the future.

As the funding is being cut this year for the scheme, Councillor Cox and I are eager to help them apply for new funding so their group can continue. It’s so important that we give the town’s children structure and the confidence to allow them to become succesful adults and organisations like the Princes Trust, the Duke of Edinburgh scheme etc are essental in this.

Thursday: This evening I was approached

by Val, a lovely woman who is leader of Anchorsholme Brownies asking me if I would like to be a Girl Guide Ambassador for Blackpool North along with Jed and Hayley from Radio Wave. I was thrilled and honoured to have been asked and can’t wait to help. I believe that groups like Brownies, Scouts and Cubs are vital for children. Just like the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme it raises their confidence, helps their social skills and helps prepare them to be successful young adults. My role will be to promote the group, help raise money and increase the numbers of children that are joining from Grange Park to Anchorsholme.

Friday: This morning I had a meeting in Anchorsholme Library with a paramedic about setting up a free first aid course for the people of Anchorsholme. It was a really productive meeting and it was great to meet someone so inspired by what they are doing. I’m now putting together a funding bid to pay for the course and will keep you posted on how it goes. On the way home I popped in to Eastpines Park to see how the Daffodils are growing that we all planted in the autumn last year and I’m very proud to say quite a few are coming up. I felt very proud and can’t for them to flower, it will be a very big thank you to everyone who worked so hard in planting them in some horrible weather conditions late last year - you were brilliant, thank you.

Many thanks

Paul Galley Councillor for Anchorsholme

Thornton Cleveleys RUFC 64

As the end of the season draws ever closer at ThorntonCleveleys RUFC, the excitement - and nervousness!

- keeps growing. This is all due to the anticipation of the league outcomes. The 1st and 2nd team are having great seasons and both could be promoted if they keep the momentum up right until the final whistles!

The 1st team were sitting in 2nd place in their league, with a game in hand, after last month’s issue and knew that they had a battle on their hands to keep in contention with league leaders Ashton-Under-Lyne. The marker set out with 8 games to play was to win every game and win convincely. The 1st team have to keep notching up the bonus point wins and to do this they not only have to come away with a victory but they must score 4 or more tries in each game too! The 1sts have played 4 games since last month’s issue and have certainly rose to the challenge, securing a bonus point win in all 4.

Their first match-up was at home to Colne and Nelson where the lads put in an excellent performance to win the game 46 - 0.

The following week was to be a little trickier; an away trip to 3rd placed Pendle. The only team to beat ThorntonCleveleys’ 1st team at home in two years, 24 - 26. This wasn’t just a chance for the 1sts to get revenge for the defeat earlier in the campaign but it was an opportunity to widen the gap between the top two and the rest of the league. The 1sts put in a good shift and came away with the spoils 10 - 31.

Next on the agenda was another away trip to Clitheroe.

This was another potential banana skin for the ones because Clitheroe had prevented Thornton-Cleveleys picking up a bonus point win mid-way through the season, after TC scored just 3 tries in a 20 - 0 result. Ever up for a test, the 1sts ran away with the game 11 - 49. It must be mentioned that this game was stopped for just short of an hour due to a Clitheroe player breaking his leg whilst

attempting to make a tackle. The air ambulance was called upon and we wish Martin Lafranceschina a speedy recovery.

The last of the four opponents was to be a visit from Chorley. On a cold, soggy, March afternoon the 1sts racked up 12 tries in total to win the match 76 - 5. A try late on in the corner for the travellers, the only blip the 1st team had that day.

The 1st team still sit 2nd in the table in North Lancs 2, three points adrift of the leaders but with a game in hand.

With four games left and a scintillating final game away to Ashton-Under-Lyne yet to come; it’s still all to play for!

The 2nd team have only played 2 games in four weeks, one away to local rivals Blackpool 1sts and the other at home to Burnley 3rds. A long, drawn out game ensued at Blackpool where not much more happened other than numerous scrummages - to the delight of front rows’ everywhere! The 2nd team managed to come away with the spoils 0 -5.

They then faced a tough outfit at home. Burnley brought a strong side and beat the lads in a frustrating affair for TC, 19 - 25.

The 2nd team also sit in 2nd place in their league, Division 5 North with 5 games left to fulfil. Leaders Leigh look well and truly clear at the top but that 2nd promotion place is the 2’s to lose from now on. Keep pushing guys.

Our home is at Thornton YMCA and our training times are 6.45pm - 8.30pm on Wednesday evenings. Games now kick off at 3pm on Saturday afternoons. For more information on anything TCRUFC related go to our website, www.thorntonrugby.com. Thanks for reading and we hope to see you soon!
