DEC 2017 I 20,000 COPIES

Welcome to your Blackpool North Magazine...

We would like to thank all our readers, contributors and advertisers for supporting us throughout the year. 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.

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, making your local magazine even better in 2018!

Congratulations to our SPOT THE AD winner Helen Guy. £50 on its way to you.

That’s me the MD signing off for 2017. Thank you for your continued support…

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