Trident Paint and Body Centre Ltd Trident Paint And Body Centre Ltd has been granted full factory approval by Renault UK, Nissan Motor GB, Fiat Group Automobiles UK, Hyundai Motor UK, Kia Motors UK, The Chrysler/ Dodge/Jeep Group and Suzuki GB. These approvals come directly from the manufacturers, not the dealers, and what this means is that the very people that designed and built your motor car, trust us to rebuild it back to its original factory specification. Manufacturer-Approvals are only handed out to a few select body repair centres up and down the country and are widely recognized by the professional trade bodies as being the absolute highest of accolades, the cream of repairers you could say, and far superior to any insurance company approved repairer network. Any bodyshop would be proud to gain one approval, at Trident we have seven. To maintain our exacting standards, and to keep abreast of the latest advances in vehicle manufacture, such as the use of High Strength/ Boron steels etc, we are constantly reinvesting in equipment and supplementary training to keep us at the forefront of the latest repair methods, and in most cases we have had full training on new models

even before they are launched to the press. ‘Fortunately most people only need to use an accident repair centre once or a twice during their life behind the wheel, so we aim to make that experience as simple and painless as possible’ Rob Blower, Managing Director The most important argument for using your manufacturer approved network, as opposed to the insurance equivalent, is that with us the manufacturer warranty will not be compromised; only genuine parts will be used, and any damaged impact zones will be restored inline with the Euro N-Cap Safety Awards standards that were granted when your car first rolled off the production line. Don’t trust your insurance company to do what they think is best for your car; trust the opinion of the people who built it!

TRIDENT

PAINT & BODY CENTRE LTD

You want factory approved accident repair? We’re on your doorstep. Don’t let your insurance company ruin your warranty. Insist on choosing your own manufacturer approved bodyshop.

Welcome to J’adore Mama Aromatherapy for pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period. Helping to sooth and relieve those unpleasant and unwanted symptoms that are experienced as a mummy-to-be or new mummy, enabling you to achieve a happy, healthy pregnancy and enjoy the early days with your new baby. I launched J’adore Mama in 2014 following years of study and research, professional and personal experience in maternity as well as aromatherapy. I have a passion for supporting and encouraging a normal enjoyable pregnancy and birth. At J’adore Mama, each mummy is unique and deserves to feel relaxed, healthy and happy. Therefore I tailor my treatments and products to suit each individual based on their symptoms and what they are hoping to gain from their care and products. Using quality, natural ingredients and essential oils that are safe in pregnancy, fresh and available at a time to suit you. I offer a range of home made products, made fresh to order based on the clients’ individual needs. Ranging from massage oils, pure essential oils, bath salts and stretch mark bars. All products are created using a blend of essential oils suited to your needs. Gift boxes are available. These make a beautiful gift for an expectant or new mummy.

Meeting women at the start of their second trimester, providing treatment and supporting them throughout their pregnancy, birth and the early weeks is extremely rewarding and a privilege. Therefore I decided to introduce baby massage from newborn to continue the support and guidance, ensuring baby can experience the benefits of touch and communication from the start. J’adore Mama enables me to promote my passion and encourage a happy, healthy and enjoyable pregnancy. I hope I can help you to achieve optimum well-being during a very exciting and special time.

Blackpool Paint Company is the brainchild of time-served Mike Hinds, who founded the company nearly 20 years ago. After spending two decades working for a national paint company, Mike spotted the need for the kind of service and quality of products that both commercial and domestic decorators demanded. He now offers the highest level of service to the most important person in the business – you, the customer. Apart from Mike’s friendly advice and years of experience, you’ll get service with a smile, the very best in paint and decorating products and prices that’ll put a smile on your face and more profit in the job.

The company’s reputation is now so high, painters and decorators throughout the whole of the North West now rely on Blackpool Paint Company day in, day out.

Why? because of their commitment to quality products, competitive pricing and first-class service, as well as a real understanding of what you need; the kind of knowledge that can only come from years in the industry. Their no-nonsense advice is detailed and practical, but comes without any obligation to buy, so you can browse the packed shelves in peace and find the products you really need.

Blackpool Paint Company’s customers enjoy a vast range of materials that isn’t just limited to leading-brand paints, but also wallpaper, tools and sundries including fillers, pastes, caulks, putties, silicon sealants and preparation productions – all at low prices. Everything you need, in fact, to make the job a good ‘un! And with over 12,000 colours to choose from in-store, you’ll always find the paint you need, whatever the project you’re planning. You can also bring a sample of your desired colour to the store, and Mike will scan it in using state-of-the-art colour recognition equipment to ensure an accurate match for virtually anything you have in mind.

HALLOWEEN

HOW TO MAKE A TRADITIONAL JACK Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;LANTERN STEP 1: The traditional scary face is very straightforward to make. Cut a lid in the top of the pumpkin around the stem so that you can scoop out the insides. A good rule of thumb is that the lid should be about two-thirds the diameter of the pumpkin. Take a sharp, long-bladed knife and, holding it at an angle, cut a circular or hexagonal-shaped lid. Holding the knife at an angle when making the cut will help ensure the lid does not fall into the empty pumpkin. Use a large spoon to scoop out the insides - the seeds etc., then gently scrape the walls clean and the base until it is flat.

PICKING YOUR PUMPKIN...

STEP 2: Put the pumpkin on a table and turn it until you decide which side you want to cut. Using a fine permanent marker, draw on the face, and using a sharp knife with a firm, short blade, carefully follow your guidelines. Once all the cuts have been make, remove the pieces by gently pushing them from the inside out. For more complicated patterns use a stencil pinned to the pumpkin, prick the motif onto the pumpkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface using a thick needle, join the dots with a marker pen and cut.

STEP 3: Onto the flat inside base of the pumpkin place a tea light. White candles will make the lantern glow most effectively, although for a more spooky effect, put the candle in a coloured glass holder.

...And once the festivities are over, do remember that the pumpkin can be added to the compost heap. 32

Rule one is to buy a pumpkin of good size. A small one will be fiddly to cut and something the size of a handball will look a bit pathetic. A good average size is 30-40 cm tall, with a well rounded shape. When selecting your future lantern, check for damage and bruising, and reject any with injury, for they will not last so long. Also, do not carry a pumpkin by its stem as this will injure it.

The Lytham St Annes YMCA Football Club will be running 12 teams this season with boys teams ranging from Under 7s to Under 18s. In the girls section the Under 13s have had to disband due to a shortage of players but a brand new Under 11 team has been formed over the summer. Last Season’s Under 16s boys have now moved out of local football to play in the Lancashire Sunday League’s Under 18 Youth Section and got off to a great start by winning their opening two fixtures, both away from home. The Under 12s boys’ first venture into County Cup competition was short lived with a 3-1 away defeat in the 1st round to Rishton. However, the rest of the YMCA boys teams got off to great start when the new season kicked off in bright sunny weather on the first weekend of September. The Under 11s opened their campaign with an excellent 6-0 home win against Kirkham whilst the Under 13s kicked off with a hard fought 2-2 at Kirkham. The Under 15s began with a 1-1 draw at Blackpool Rangers and two days later they notched up an impressive 3-0 away victory over last season’s champions Layton Juniors. The Under 16s had a tough start in defence of their championship with a local derby at Lytham Maroons and after trailing 1-0 at half time we fought back

to clinch a fine 3-1 win in a very entertaining and sporting contest. The club’s Executive Committee remain as last season: Mark Cowburn (President), Steve Spencer (Vice Chairman), Phil Sullivan (Chairman), Lyndon Moore (Dep Chairman), Lozz’ Rose (Secretary), Roger De Nobrega (Treasurer) and Keith Drury (Development Officer).
