ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS

0800 970 7687

to your LYTHAM ST. ANNES & FYLDE Magazine.

March Magazine Deadline 12th February 2015

Time for a Fresh Start in 2015, so let me first wish you a Happy New Year – and may it be a great one! We hope it brings success and happiness, and that you carry the experience of the past into a brighter future.

We’ve had a great start to the year with our biggest month in business, which means we are helping more businesses than ever before in providing a cost effective solution to reaching the local market. By dedicating our magazines to specific areas we can support local shopping more than any other local media.

Two new magazines are soon to be launched, both at 20,000 copies per month: One will be in the Ribble Valley, covering east Preston through to Clitheroe, while we are also producing a new Chorley edition for this growth area, expanding into the surrounding villages.

Recent Testimonial just in: “The Link Magazine has continued to be a reliable and solid advertising source whilst providing both good quality print and cost effectiveness on distribution.

At one point we had to stop advertising as we were inundated with work! Customer service and the whole process of booking advertising is smooth and flawless.”

– LazyLawn Lancashire.

Well done to last month’s winner: Joan Andrews for the Where Am I? Competition. £50 is on its way.

Once again, have a Great New Year!

Julie Nash Fine Art & Tuition

Anyone can have a go at painting and everyone can get enjoyment from it. It’s the perfect way to relax, make new friends and forget your troubles.

Getting started can be daunting and people often worry they won’t be good enough to join a class.

I’ll let you into a secret - Everyone feels like that at first. Because of this, all my tuition is very informal but you’ll still learn loads of stuff. Dave and I welcome you into our home and we strive to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, because we want you to enjoy your visit.

Weekend workshops are ideal taster days (all materials and lunch included). Short courses allow skills to develop week on week, and individual tuition is designed around your personal needs and interests.

In 2015, in response to requests, I’m running evening courses too. Visit my website for more information about my tuition and view examples of mine and my student’s artwork, or phone me up for a chat.

Happy painting: Julie Nash

Award Winning Lancashire Artist & Tutor Tutiton for all abilities, 1 & 2 day workshops, short courses Small class sizes ensure the best quality tuition in a welcoming atmosphere

With us experiencing an exceptionally mild autumn local football suffered very few postponements in the first half of the season although stormy weather during mid-December did lead to over 50% of youth league football fixtures being called off due to waterlogged pitches.

Several YMCA teams entered the Christmas break in contention for honours, particularly the Under 16s who ended the calendar year topping the table with an unbeaten record. The Under 15s and Under 11s were both in the top-four of their respective leagues with hopes of claiming medals at the end of the campaign. The Under 13s are showing marked improvement after a difficult 1st half of the season.

Although they managed two away wins in the County Cup before going out in the 3rd round it wasn’t until the end of November before they achieved their first league victory then followed that up with another win to give them new found confidence for the New Year.

The Under 11s finished in the lower reaches of the table last season but a couple of astute additions to

the squad this season have transformed the team into title challengers and they reached Christmas 3rd in the table. In mini soccer in which, due to Football Association legislation, results and tables are not allowed to be published the Under 7s, 8s, 9s and 10s have all performed impressively to make the club’s future look very bright.

In the girls section the club’s newest team the Under 11s have so far adapted extremely well and have produced some very encouraging results including an excellent victory over the league leaders during November. The Under 15s have found it hard playing against generally older girls but despite this they have still displayed great enthusiasm and have competed well in every game so far.

SWEET DEALS ON SURGERY, THE FRANCEENS, DINOSAURS ARE SH*T DRAGONS Saturday 7th March, 8pm The Ferret, 55 Fylde Road, Preston, Lancashire, PR1 2XQ. Sweet Deals On Surgery are a band of three men from the north of England who play catchy/shouty/indie/

40

punk rock and drink too much. Alex-Bass/Voice RobGuitar/Voice Tim-Drums have just released their debut E.P ‘Total Reek Hole’, with song titles such as ‘Elvis Costello is a w****r’ and ‘Desk from the waist down’ it’s safe to say SDOS don’t take themselves too seriously.

Make no mistake though, the songs contained within these titles are well crafted, melodic, instantly catchy noise pop, with structures that veer a little from the norm. The Franceens are a 3 piece rock and roll band from York UK. They have been described by many as being a ‘real band’. They are known for their ferocious live shows, constant gigging, and their high-energy version of garage/rock and roll style music. They started in February 2013 and have been going strong ever since. Dinosaurs Are Sh*t Dragons: while most bands try to be something they’re not this Blackpool 4 piece are trying hard to not be something they are: socially-inept, culturally-handicapped genre cuckoos: pinching the best bits of a mixed bag of influences and inciting big dumb sing alongs across the North West with a barely contained energy that makes onlookers wonder if they’re trying to kill each other.

Sure, it’s not big or clever or cool, but maybe that’s the Music Industry’s problem, maybe it should take a little break from its fancy haircuts and status updates and just have a bit of a laugh.

Free Entrance. http://theferret.info GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE, CONSTANT WAVES + TRIBAL FIGHTERS Saturday 28th March, 8pm The Ferret, 55 Fylde Road, Preston, Lancashire, PR1 2XQ.

Local News

Lytham Proms becomes Lytham Festival for a bigger, better and more diverse event in Summer Lytham Festival will span a whole week encompassing music, comedy and literary elements for all ages

L

ytham Proms is being rebranded as Lytham Festival for 2015 running for a whole week from 2 – 9 August. The move to create a bigger and bolder event for the town follows the incredible success of the Proms over the past five years.

The hugely popular live music element will return to the main open-air stage on Lytham Green with the added bonus of an extra fourth night on Thursday 6 August.

There will also be additional events including comedy, literature and even more music featuring at other venues across the town throughout the week.

Event promoters Cuffe and Taylor are behind the success of Lytham Proms and are taking the bold move of making the event bigger and better than ever before. Director Peter Taylor said: ‘We are really excited about Lytham in 2015. This marks a huge change for us to move from the three-day Lytham Proms to a week-long Lytham Festival but we are sure it will be a great success. People attending the event over the last four years have been really loyal and have thoroughly enjoyed the wide range of music that has been available.

We are not going to change that because it is a formula that works. However, we want to offer people more choice and therefore we are expanding our event to cover a variety of venues in Lytham and to offer much more in the way of entertainment.

Lytham Festival is pulling out all the stops for 2015 and superstar headliners from a variety of genres will be announced soon. Fans of the original format need not worry as A-List talent from the classical and pop worlds will remain the

jewel in Lytham Festival’s crown as they perform on Lytham Green over four nights from Thursday 6 to Sunday 9 August.

Comedy and literature, for both children and adults alike, will feature in the expanded Lytham Festival programme across a whole week starting Monday 2 August. Venues including The Assembly Rooms will host a Jazz Café, while festival-goers can venture to Hewitt Lecture Rooms to discover spoken word and poetry plus a comedy Big Top will pop up at Park View 4U. Park View 4U will also host a specially devised ‘Festival of Stories’ for younger festival-goers with a programme celebrating heritage and creative storytelling aimed at children, young people and their families. This will include published children’s authors, workshops and exhibitions With the additional activity running alongside the main arena on Lytham Green events over the course of the week will include both free and ticketed options. And as it blooms from a three-day, one site offering to a full week of entertainment and culture it is anticipated it will have a fantastic knock-on effect for local businesses.

Peter added: ‘We want people to come to Lytham Festival and enjoy a few days away. This is the perfect festival for all the family to come and enjoy some amazing entertainment while also experiencing the wonderful Fylde Coast.’

Further information about Lytham Festival 2015 will be announced shortly and you can register for updates at www.lythamfestival. com
