Welcome to your Poulton Le Fylde & Garstang Magazine...

We find ourselves with our last edition of 2016. It’s been another great year!

We would like to thank all our readers, contributors and advertisers.

You are all aware that LINK-MAG reaches more doors than any other local media. Our place in the community means that we can reach out to more people than ever to make sure this Christmas is enjoyed by all, however you celebrate it at this time.

Our next edition will be a joint Jan/Feb issue. As always it will be out later in January as we take a well earned break. But don’t be fooled – we will still be working behind the scenes adding our website with new content. We will also work on other improvements, creating new competitions, offering great print deals and making your best local magazine even better in 2017!

That’s me the MD signing off for 2016. Thank you for your continued support…

Don’t forget our magazines are also online every month at www.link-mag.co.uk.
