BLACKPOOL NORTH Your FREE Local Community & Business Directory Hello and welcome to the first LINK Magazine of 2013!

We enter the New Year as the North West’s biggest free monthly magazine. More than 116,000 copies of the best community mag are circulated every month.

We hope the year has started as well as you had hoped and that you’re still keeping your resolutions – you might even find something to help you keep them within these very pages.

Our own resolution is to keep providing an excellent magazine bustling full of exciting bargains and top quality products delivered by the best companies in Lancashire. Well, that and to stop eating so much chocolate! So far, so good – except on the chocolate front!

We’ll be launching our brand new website next month. It will contain online directories and much more to make your life even easier!

Congratulations to the winners of last month’s competition. Alan Whipp of Blackpool won our Where Am I? Competition, so well done - £50 is on its way to you!

Don’t forget, LINK Magazine also offers competitive leaflet print and distribution for up to 116,000 homes and businesses across the Fylde Coast and Preston, as well as offering FREE ‘What’s On’ listings for most local events.

LINK Magazine is your local community & business directory.

Postcard from Blackpool As the editors of www.liveBlackpool.info, it’s the time of year when we look back over what we’ve done so far and set our New Year’s Resolutions to make this well loved community resource even better for you in the future.

A big thank you to everybody who has supported us in 2012, it’s been a remarkable year, ending with a huge army of followers who enjoy what we do and have contributed to this success story, and we’re all set to make 2013 the year that gives more of you more of what you want.

If you aren’t already following the Live Blackpool website, make January 2013 the time when you start – because there really is something there for everybody. Sign up for the weekly newsletter to get the local news, what’s happening, events from all over the Fylde Coast, and all the community news.

Plus of course Chrissies Blog - with strong views and silliness, competitions and much more.

Live Blackpool is linked to our range of seven websites for the Fylde Coast, and www.visitFyldeCoast.info is where you’ll find a mine of information including the newly launched ‘Who Cares’ which will grow into a peer support forum for all you carers out there, where you can share your experiences and if nothing else, know that what you’re going through isn’t unique.

So roll on next year with lots more exciting new things to come from your number one favourite local website!

We’re waiting to hear your news and views - email jane@theRabbitPatch.co.uk or ring 07932 143431.

Dr Barbara Barrie

Know 4 sure When it comes to cancer, there are 4 key signs to look out for:

1. Unexplained blood that doesn’t come from an obvious injury 2. An unexplained lump 3. Unexplained weight loss, which feels significant to you 4. Any type of unexplained pain that doesn’t go away Chances are it’s nothing serious, but finding it early makes it more treatable. So if you notice any of these signs, tell your doctor.
