Award Winning Artist & Tutor
G
etting 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. Weekend workshops are ideal taste 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. Dave and I welcome you into our home for these classes and we strive to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, because we want you to enjoy your visit. I also run weekly art classes at two lovely venues in Bispham and Lytham. 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 Mobile: 07412285322 Email:Julie@lickychickstudio.co.uk www.lickychickstudio.co.uk

Marsh Mill celebrates renovations Marsh Mill in Thornton has re-opened to the public following extensive renovation work.
T
he Deputy Mayor of Wyre, Councillor Ron Greenhough, officially opened the Grade II listed tower mill on Saturday at a public celebration with the Friends of Marsh Mill. Wyre Council has invested £320,000 in repairs to the structure and fabric of the mill including the walls, render, cap (roof) and fantail, new window frames, improvements to ventilation and replacement of the reefing stage (balcony). The mill’s existing sails were removed and used as a template to construct a completely new set by millwrights Owlsworth IJP. The new sails were installed last week marking the end of exterior renovations. Improvements to the interior are due to be carried out later this year. Standing at over 70 feet, Marsh Mill is the tallest tower mill in Europe and celebrated its 220th birthday last year. It is the best preserved windmill in the north west of England with much of the original machinery still intact. Marsh Mill is open for guided tours between 10.30am and 4.30pm on Saturdays and Sundays through until November. There will be exhibitions, events and activities taking place throughout the year. For more information see the Friends of Marsh Mill Facebook page.

Line up of live music announced for Thornton Little Theatre Three top class music acts have been added to this year’s line up at Thornton Little Theatre
P
resented by ‘Hollow Horse Events’, whose mission is to bring nationwide artists to small local venues, ‘China Crisis’, ‘Kyla Brox’ and ‘A Celebration of Simon and Garfunkel’ will be appearing at the theatre later this year. First up on Friday 2 October, Tim Chu and Ian Bailey, present their unique take on the music of Simon and Garfunkel, stopping by Thornton as part of a UK tour. Much more than a tribute show, this is a celebration of the life and works of one of the worlds greatest singing duos. Tim and Ian play nearly two hours of Simon and Garfunkel’s music in chronological order, interspersed with stories about the songs. The set includes classics like ‘The Homeward Bound’, ‘Scarborough Fair’, ‘The Sound of Silence’, ‘I Am a Rock’, ‘Mrs Robinson’ and many more. There is always some solo Paul Simon material and the odd original song too. Everyone has a favourite so if you like the music of Simon and Garfunkel this show is the closest thing you’ll get to seeing them live! Tickets are just £12. Blues and Soul singer Kyla Brox is taking to the stage on Saturday 10 October with her repertoire of classic R and B songs, as well as her own compositions. Born to sing the blues, her stunning, powerful voice and passionate performances have wowed audiences worldwide. Nominated for the 2014 ‘European Blues Awards’ in the ‘Best Female’ category this is a rare opportunity to see her perform live at your local theatre. One of the most authentic soul singers in the UK, Kyla’s raw talent and purity stands out in an age of conveyor belt pop idols. Tickets are out now and are £10. Rounding things up are China Crisis, performing on Sunday 22 November. Formed in Liverpool in 1979 China Crisis are releasing their new studio album in 2015 and are embarking on a nationwide tour to promote it. With a string of top 40 singles and albums to call upon, as well as their new music, this will be a night that will be loved by fans new and old. Original members Eddie Lundon and Gary Daly will be playing all the familiar songs including Black Man Ray and Wishful Thinking. It’s a night not to be missed! Tickets are £15 and are expected to sell quickly so book your seats soon.
TOP: A Celebration of Simon and Garfunkel, ABOVE LEFT: Kyla Brox, ABOVE RIGHT: China Crisis with Wyre Council we identified an opportunity to bring quality entertainment to Thornton Little Theatre. I hope to bring an eclectic but popular selection of acts to the area. The three shows in autumn hopefully reflect this. “The Celebration of the Music of Simon and Garfunkel” is a show I personally have been involved with several times. It’s less of a tribute night, and more a chance to enjoy music created by two talented artists. Tim Chu and Ian Bailey are note perfect and as well as performing the songs we all know and love, they have many tales to tell of the legendary duo. Kyla Brox is quite simply one of the greatest female blues singers of this or any other generation and China Crisis are touring to promote their new album which has just been released and is currently receiving rave reviews. Why should we have to travel to the major cities for a top night out? We have great theatres and venues on our doorsteps let’s use them.’

Money Matters
How to haggle for the best deals By Martin Lewis Haggling isn’t just a skill for market stalls, these days where it really pays is at call centres. And if you’re a Sky customer there’s no better time to put your haggling skills to the test, as some Sky TV customers are facing hikes of over £50 a year. Yet this isn’t just for Sky. It works for other TV firms, mobile, TV, broadband, breakdown and more. Last year on my site, I polled over 7,000 people who tried to call-centre haggle, to see how successful they were company by company. The results are staggering, at Sky 86% succeeded in some form of discount, the AA 84%, TalkTalk 83%, Plusnet 82%, Virgin media 80% and RAC 78%. In other words, for every five people who tried, four got a deal. And don’t think the amounts are trivial either, here’s just some of the successes people have tweeted me in Sky’s current round of price hikes… “Just saved £315 a year with a good old haggle with Sky, cheers Martin.” “Phoned up and in 10 mins it’d knocked £134 off my bill. No change to services or terms. Thank you!” “Managed to save almost 50% by calling. Firm but polite with a clear message throughout my call.”
34
So don’t be shy, it’s time to tool up and get a haggle on. Here are my top ten tips (but for you, I’ll do it in 9)...
1. Benchmark the best deal.
It’s important to have the factual arsenal. Research the deals, discounts and codes that are available for new customers, as a basis for negotiation. Here’s a quick rundown for each of the main haggle areas. Digital TV: For example, you can currently get 25% off all Sky TV bundles and £75 bill credit, compare this with what you will be paying. You can use this figure to haggle with Sky or Virgin. See www.mse.me/digitalTV for all the deals. And of course the cheapest digital TV option is Freeview. It’s a one-off cost of around £20 for a box and there’s no monthly subscription. Breakdown cover: If you go via a cashback site, you can effectively sign up for basic AA or RAC cover for under £20. See www.mse.me/ breakdown for full best-buys. Broadband: Here the best deals are all promo offers. A common level is line rent and broadband for £16 a month, plus a £100 high street voucher. Full best-buys in www.mse.me/broadband.
2. Timing is crucial.
Haggling works best when you’re near or beyond the end of your contract as then they have a real risk you’ll leave. There’s no harm in giving it a try when you’re not, if you struggle then diarise when you’re nearing the end (you can give Sky notice of leaving 31 days before the end of your contract) and call back then.

Business & Finance 3. The haggling Holy Grail is the customer retention department.
If you’re coming to the end of your contract, or are out of it, then you’re wielding a powerhouse weapon: customer loyalty. If they don’t offer the deal you want, tell them you’re going to leave. This means you get put through to what they externally call “disconnections”, but internally is called “customer retentions”. There the staff ’s job is to keep you, and they have massively more discretion to offer you deals to do so.
4. Use charm, chutzpah, cheek and a smile.
Aggression or anger will just put their back up. You’re asking for a discount, and they’re just as much within their right not to give it as you are to leave.
Aim for polite, firm and non-combative.
5. Use the phrases that pay. You may find that the customer service rep will only offer a small discount at first, but if you don’t agree with the price use phrases like:
n I’ve worked out my monthly budget, and my absolute max is £[insert price here]/month n [TalkTalk/Virgin/BT] can do it for less... n I need to think about it... n I think my husband / wife will go bonkers if I pay that... n It’s still a lot of money... n What’s the very best you can do?
6. Don’t panic if it calls your bluff and says it’ll disconnect you.
Some people worry and get nervous to try this in case they’re disconnected. My easy ‘get out of jail free’ card on this is the phrase: “Hold on, I’ll call you back on that. I’d like to check with my wife/ husband/dog/Aunt Fanny first.”
7. Ask if it can throw in extras.
If it won’t slash the price, see if it can include any extras, like free calls or extra channels, bigger download limits, or one level higher breakdown cover
“
If they don’t offer the deal you want, tell them you’re going to leave. This means you get put through to what they externally call “disconnections”, but internally is called “customer retentions”
”
8. If you fail? Try, try and try again.
I’ve heard rumours that different staff members have quotas of how many deals they can do. Even if not true, it feels like that to many. You may have called the wrong person at the wrong time. So call back a few days later and speak to someone else. This works for many people.
9. Vote with your feet.
If you don’t get what you want and other firms offer the same for less, then you should seriously consider leaving and go grab one of those deals.

Future of community centre secured Wyre Council has agreed to sell the former Frank Townend Centre to Cleveleys Community Church and Centre
C
leveleys Community Church and Centre took over management of the Kensington Road venue in 2010 while the council retained responsibility for maintenance and repairs. The partnership has been a great success with community usage increasing greatly in the years since and a wide range of classes and activities for all ages now on offer, along with room hire and catering facilities. Councillor Alan Vincent, Deputy Leader and Cabinet member with responsibility for estates at Wyre Council, said: ‘Cleveleys Community Church and Centre has been running the building since October 2010 and during that time the number of groups using it has increased. I’m confident that success will continue because of their drive, enthusiasm and commitment to the community.’ Reverend Stephen Scholes, Minister of Cleveleys Community Church, said: ‘Since taking over the centre we’ve built it up to become a focal point for the community - it is used for everything from educational classes and art groups to dog training and blood
donations. Once we have complete ownership we intend to do more of the same and add to what’s available, and to carry out renovations to make it an even better place. The building will always be used as a community centre and church for the people of Cleveleys.’ The deal includes a restriction on the future of the centre to community use only under the Local Government Act 1972, which allows local authorities to dispose of property for less than normal market value where it will help secure the social wellbeing of the area. As a result the building has been valued as a community asset and will be sold as such, freeing up funds to finance future council spending. Wyre Council is expecting a shortfall in funding of around £3m by 2018 and continues to review every aspect of how the council operates, whilst protecting frontline services.

Summer Cooking
Beautiful Berries This wonderfully substantial warm salad has a sweet and sharp BerryJewel raspberry dressing that brings it to life. Although it takes a long time to get the lamb meltingly tender it is almost entirely hands off - a great dish to get started in the oven before you go for a weekend walk. Serves 6-8 What you will need For the lamb 1 tbsp olive oil 4 large cloves garlic, crushed 1 tbsp cumin seeds, roughly ground tsp dried thyme 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp smoked paprika salt & freshly ground black pepper 2kg bone-in lamb shoulder 2 x 400g tins chickpeas, drained & rinsed to serve 235g salad spinach, washed & well drained 225g punnet BerryJewel raspberries 150g pecans For the dressing 225g punnet BerryJewel raspberries 100ml water 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar 2 tbsp runny honey Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste Method In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil with the garlic, cumin, thyme, cinnamon and smoked paprika and season generously with salt and freshly 38
ground black pepper. Using a sharp knife, pierce 1 centimeter deep holes all over the lamb - this will help the spice flavour to get deep inside the meat. Rub the marinade all over the lamb, pushing inside the holes you have made. Place the lamb in a large baking tray, cover with cling film and set aside to marinate at room temperature for 2 hours, or overnight in the fridge. Preheat the oven to 150ºC/130ºC fan/gas 2. Remove and discard the cling film and pour 200ml cold water into the roasting tin. Cover tightly with foil and cook in the oven for 5 hours it won’t need checking or turning so it’s fine to leave it undisturbed. After the lamb has had its 5 hours
cooking, remove from the oven and discard the foil. Increase the oven temperature to 180ºC/160ºC fan/gas 4. Using a large metal spoon, spoon off and discard as much fat as possible providing you don’t stir the sauce it will be floating on top. Stir the chickpeas through the remaining juices, and return to the oven, uncovered, for a further hour. Whilst the lamb is in the oven for the final hour, make the dressing by placing all the ingredients into a small saucepan. Set over a medium high heat and bring up to the boil. Boil steadily for about 5 minutes until the BerryJewel raspberries have broken right down and you are left with a shiny, deep coloured sauce. Taste to check the seasoning, adding salt and pepper as desired and a little more honey if it is too sharp. Strain through a sieve to remove the pips and set aside to cool. Toast the pecans in a dry frying pan until they are deep golden brown and smell lovely and nutty. Tip onto a board and roughly chop. Set aside. After the final hour in the oven, take the lamb out and transfer to a large plate or board. Using 2 forks, flake the meat into bite sized pieces. To serve, divide the spinach leaves between individual plates and scatter over the BerryJewel raspberries and pecans. Spoon the shredded lamb and some chickpeas over the top and drizzle on a little dressing. Serve the rest of the dressing alongside in a small jug.

Persian Jeweled Rice with BerryJewel Raspberries, Walnuts and Parsley Serves 6 as a side dish Based on the classic Persian dish, Javaher Polow, this fruity rice is truly fit for a king. It makes a great side dish for a spicy stew or a succulent roast chicken. The buttery golden crust that develops on the bottom of the pan is absolutely delicious. For the rice 300g basmati rice A generous pinch saffron threads 150g dried cranberries 2 tbsp olive oil 60g unsalted butter 1 large onion, finely chopped 1 cinnamon stick 1 tsp cardamon pods, bruised with the flat of a knife 1 tsp cumin seeds Salt & freshly ground black pepper To serve 100g walnuts, roughly chopped 225g punnet BerryJewel raspberries A generous bunch of parsley, chopped Finely grated zest from 1 orange 1 garlic clove, very finely chopped Method Put the rice in a sieve and rinse under cold running water. Tip into a bowl and cover well with cold water. Set aside to soak for 1 hour. Add the saffron to a small heatproof glass and cover with 2 tablespoons of boiling water, then set aside to soak. Add the cranberries to a small heatproof bowl and cover in boiling water, set aside to soak. Once the rice, saffron and cranberries are halfway through their soaking time, add the oil and half the butter to a deep, preferably nonstick, frying pan and set over a low heat. When the butter has melted, add the onion, cinnamon, cardamon and cumin and fry gently for 30 minutes until the onion is soft and lightly caramelised, then turn off the heat. Drain the rice
40
and put it in a large saucepan. Pour over boiling water so it comes a generous 3 centimeters above the rice and set over a medium high heat. Boil for 3 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold running water to cool and drain well. The rice will have started to cook but will still have plenty of bite and the grains will not be fluffy. Stir the cooled rice through the onions in the frying pan, along with the saffron and soaking water, and the cranberries and their soaking water. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, stirring well, then dot the surface of the rice with the remaining butter. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, make 5-6 holes through the rice all the way to the bottom of the pan - this helps it to steam evenly. Tear off a sheet of baking paper, scrunch it up under running water, shaking off the excess, then lay snugly over the surface of the rice. Cover tightly with a layer of foil and set over a very low heat. Cook, undisturbed, for 40 minutes, after which time the rice will be cooked and fluffy and a delicious buttery crust will have developed on the bottom. Whilst the rice is cooking, toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan until golden and smelling nutty. Tip into a bowl and stir through the BerryJewel raspberries, parsley, orange zest and garlic. Set aside. Once the rice is ready, remove and discard the paper. Lightly fork through the walnut, BerryJewel raspberry and parsley mixture and pile the rice onto a warmed serving dish. Scrape the lovely crunchy caramelised rice bits from the base of the pan and sprinkle over the top. Serve immediately.
BerryJewel Raspberry Fool with Almond Toffee Shards and Whole Raspberries Serves 6 This is a classic raspberry fool with a bit of a twist. Shards of crisp almond toffee are a great crunchy contrast to the soft creaminess of fool.
For the almond toffee 375g caster sugar 75g golden syrup 35g butter 50ml cold water 75g blanched whole almonds, roughly chopped ½ tsp vanilla extract ½ tsp fine salt For the fool 2 x 225g punnets BerryJewel raspberries 300ml double cream 300g Greek yoghurt Method Start by making the toffee. Line a baking sheet with a non-stick silicone mat or piece of non-stick baking parchment. Set aside. Add the sugar, syrup, butter and water to a large saucepan (the toffee will bubble up and at least double in volume whilst cooking). Set over a low heat and stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted. Turn the heat up to medium and bring up to the boil. Boil, uncovered, for 7-10 minutes until a little teaspoon of the mixture turns into a hard ball when dropped in a glass of cold water. Start testing after 7 minutes, and keep on boiling until it is ready - it may take a little less or longer, depending on the depth and width of the pan you choose. If you are using a sugar thermometer it will read 138ºC. Turn off the heat and quickly stir through the almonds, vanilla and salt then pour onto the prepared baking sheet. Set aside to go cold - about 30 minutes. Once hard, break into thin shards using a strong sharp knife. This makes about double what you need for this recipe, but it stores well in an airtight tin for at least a week. To make the fool, add one punnet of BerryJewel raspberries to a bowl and mash up with a fork. Pour the cream into a large mixing bowl and whisk, either by hand or with an electric whisk, until it forms soft billowy peaks. Gently fold the Greek yogurt through using a large metal spoon until well combined. Then pour in the mashed raspberries and lightly fold. Finally fold through half the punnet of whole BerryJewel raspberries and the toffee shards and pour into a serving dish. Decorate the top with the remaining whole raspberries and toffee shards. Serve immediately.

Information call for ICI war memorial Family members of former ICI workers who lost their lives at war are being sought
W
yre Council has joined forces with community groups and local historians to restore the ICI war memorial in Thornton and would like to hear from family members who may have a relative named on it. Situated at Four Lane Ends, the ICI memorial is separate from the main cenotaph and displays the names of former workers who lost their lives during the First and Second World Wars. It was originally located at the firm’s site at Hillhouse Business Park before being moved to Four Lane Ends in 1997. Earlier this year, the council agreed to take over ownership of the memorial from AkzoNobel (who acquired ICI in 2008) and to restore it during the Centenary of the First World War. Now family members of those named on the memorial are being asked to help. Spokesman for the project David Baxter, said: ‘The memorial has been weathered over the years and the names have been eroded, so we are working together to ensure that the correct names are inscribed on the restored memorial. With the help of a local historian we have a list of the names that were originally on the memorial but research has suggested that there may be some inaccuracies. We would like any family members of those men who gave their lives during the First and Second World Wars and were originally on the memorial to come forward if they have evidence that there are inaccuracies to those names.’

Photo: Google Maps
The restoration team is particularly interested in talking to relatives of the following First World War servicemen: Jack Brennan or (Brannen), William Brockband or (Brockbank), John Crehan or (Crahan), Edward Keogh or (Kehoe), George Urmston or (Urmson) The team is working towards having the memorial fully restored in time for Remembrance Sunday in November and plans to hold a rededication ceremony involving community members, schools, family members and veterans. All family members are welcome to become involved in the project. For further information please contact Paul Deacon at Wyre Council on 01253 887236 or email paul.deacon@wyre.gov.uk

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
S
aturday: What an incredible day, our newly formed Anchorsholme Gardening Club which I’ve created planted over 80 plants in our new Garden we are building in Eastpines Park. The Friends of Eastpines Park have brought 355 plants from Sages on Fleetwood Road who have really helped us get the right plants for our new garden. We had so much fun planting them and the new garden is really transforming the area and will look great over the years to come. If anyone wants to be apart of our gardening club it meets the first saturday of every month in Eastpines Park between 10am and 1pm and everyone of all ages is welcome, it’s great fun and our plan is for the Gardening Club to really improve all the green areas in Anchorsholme whilst bringing people together.
S
unday: I went and spent the morning with my friends who look after the raised flower bed at the end of Seabrook Drive. They are wonderful people and have done a great job looking after the flower bed. We had great fun weeding and having a catch up. We then went and expected some pavement issues on Seabrook Drive which I’m now working to get fixed. I also took some pictures of weeds as we were walking along. I am currently mapping out Anchorsholme on what weeds need removing (sadly we have alot again), if you live in Anchorsholme and have weeds on your street email or call me on paul. galley@blackpool.gov.uk / 826679 and I will add them to my list, I’m determined to have the weed problem resolved by the end of the summer.
M
onday: Had an incredible day today as the rest of the plants from Sages arrived for our new garden in Eastpines Park. The children of Anchorsholme Academy helped us plant them and it just added to the community spirit that has gone in to building this garden, we are so lucky and everyone has done a brilliant job. When the garden establishes itself over the years to come it will be a real focal point as it’s so big in it’s scale, it measure 30 metres in length by 4 metres in width and will have a massive impact on the area and not just the Park itself. I’m really proud of it, but most of all the fact that so many children and local people have all worked so hard to make it happen.
T
Road. It’s early days and this round of work saw four dropped curbs being installed but by the time we have finished we will make sure the whole of Anchorsholme has dropped curbs where they are needed. Again if you live in Anchorsholme and know of a space where a dropped curb will work please let me know.
W
ednesday: What a day, I never stopped, I did my bingo calling in the morning (it’s at St Teresa’s Church Hall every Wednesday morning from 10.15 to 11.30) and everyone is welcome, we have a lot of laughs. In the afternoon we organised the details for our public consultation on Anchorsholme Park. The news isn’t great in the short term it means the entire Park will close from May 2016 until it reopens in 2020. The reason it will be closed is to allow the soil and clay that is being taken out of the Park from the United Utilities works to be put in different places of the Park as part of the ultimate landscaping in the new Anchorsholme Park. This new landscaping will see a number of slopes and hills being built to reduce the amount of wind in the Park. When it does reopen the Park is going to look very special and one of those hills will have an amphitheatre as well as a new purpose built cafe, lots of new play equipment, sports area and quite a few special features which really will put Anchorsholme on the map especially the way it links to the newly built Anchorsholme Promenade. I will keep you posted with developments over the next four years. In the evening we had a full council debate where we discussed at length ways to make sure the grass was going to get cut in the way that it should be as well as ways to diversify the economy of Blackpool.
T
hursday: I watered the plants in Eastpines Park (thank you Anchorsholme library for the water) and then had a meeting about getting a notice board for the Little Australia area of Anchorsholme. If you are asking yourself where is Little Australia that is one of the reasons why we are getting the notice board we want to put Little Australia and it’s community centre on the map. We are aiming to get a really nice wooden one and have a garden built around it and have it on the corner of Sevenoaks Drive and Melbourne Avenue. I will keep you posted with progress, but this will be a really good addition to Anchorsholme.
uesday: I was over the moon today to see the first part of our 2020 plan (it’s our plan Many thanks for Anchorsholme and how it will look by the Paul Galley year 2020) being implemented and it was the first Cllr for Anchorsholme of our dropped curbs being installed on Huntingdon Advertise your business call 0800 970 7687 or email info@link-mag.co.uk
