LINK-Magazine is looking forward into the new year as we’ve many exciting things planned. Due to feedback we will be delivering our first Jan/Feb magazine on Jan 20th bringing our distribution back a whole two weeks so you get it a little earlier for the targeted month, with ongoing deadlines changing to the 15th of each month.

Ian from UltraClean “It worked last time we used you, then we tried something else that did’nt and now we are back its working again after just the first month” Paul Johnson part of Disco Inferno “would like to say a massive thank you to yourself and your magazine for advertising our bbc children in need event in your oct and nov issue! The event was a huge success and was sold out! We raised a brilliant £1400 and a excellent family night was had by all , cheers again martin”

Support “SandAid” and lets help them get to Number One for Christmas!

Money raised goes to even experience the happiness and values of the festive season.

SandAid are a collective of amateur unsigned musicians who have recorded an original Christmas song, which is due for download release on the 5th December through iTunes and other leading download retailers. The song has been nearly 12 months in the planning, and was the brainchild of Rob Hulme and his wife AnneMarie Hulme who were fed up with the tradition of Christmas songs being ruined by the X Factor.

Rob was involved in writing the song We’ve Still Got Christmas along with co-writers Ian Hooper and Jeff White, and we wanted to write a song which had a traditional feel, without being too cheesy, and incorporated many of the styles and talents of our fellow Blackpool bands.

We live in uncertain times at the moment, and the lyrics try to establish that no matter what pain, suffering, hardship, or loss touches our every day lives, the one thing which remains constant, is how we try to celebrate Christmas, which we hope helps to consider our perspective of life and create opportunities for change. We are also donating 50p from every 79p sale to BBC Children in Need through sales over the entire Christmas period, as we feel that the song also has a meaning for disadvantaged children, some of which don’t

We decided to call the band ‘SandAid’ following on from the inspiration of Bob Geldof’s Band Aid. The song was recorded back in June at West Orange Studios near Preston, famous for recording the number one hit ‘Brimful of Asher’ by Cornershop, and is a mix of genres, which represent both the modern and traditional styles of music listened to today. Bobby Ball and Black Lace also kindly donated their time, and feature alongside the many amateur musicians and singers who represent a selection of the many talents which perform in the local bars and pubs in and around the Fylde coast area.

There are also some up and coming singers involved, along with children from St Chads and Carr Head Schools, Poulton.

It has been twenty one years since an original Christmas song reached the number one position in the music charts, and for that fact we would like to try and get the tradition of a true Christmas song into a pole position this year.

Our song is available to download from and other leading download retailers from December 5th Visit our website: www.sandaid.co.uk

You can also watch the video or join group, search Blackpool Sand Aid on Youtube or on Facebook

If you didn’t come along to the ‘Love Poulton’ event at the Teanlowe Centre you missed a treat! Poulton C of E Primary School Choir were fabulous and filled the centre with their voices, and Baines School Ukulele Orchestra were a treat not to be missed. Thanks go to the Mayor, LCC Cllr Jim Lawrenson and Poulton Cllr Barry Birch for their support in making a great afternoon.

Poulton Forum held its first successful meeting on 7 November, and we’ve got to know Wyre Senior Forum in recent weeks so we can share their excellent work in the community.

Our local schools have been busy with news from Saint Aidan’s and Hodgson Academy and the Open Evening for Baines Sixth Form.

Meanwhile at Poulton St Johns, they have been working with the older generation and learning how to play dominoes!

Christmas is fast approaching along with the Poulton Christmas Festival on 2nd December, which sees Santa take time out of his schedule for a tour of the town centre, carols, markets and more into the early evening.

There are many different groups in the Poulton area doing wonderful things that everyone should know about. If you’ve got anything to tell us just email jane@ visitPoulton-le-Fylde.co.uk or ring 07932 143431.

HAMBLETON W.I. Associated Country Women of the World was the topic at our monthly meeting in November given by Mrs Stephanie Whitfield, she told and illustrated to us how poverty stricken villages around the world had been helped by the donations [ £349,000 last year ] given by the members of the association, by erecting safe, clean water tanks, injections against malaria, still a killer in most hot countries, gone into schools and helped to educate some of the more unfortunate children. In India they gave money for paint to give women a chance to earn money by doing batik work on cloth and selling it at local markets. Altogether a praiseworthy project. The vote of thanks was given by Marjorie Fleming.

As this was our A.G.M. Mrs Hazel Short of the L.F.W.I. came along to help with the voting in of the President and the committee, she told us how the W.I. came to be so associated with the phrase “Jam & Jerusalem”; the hymn ‘Jerusalem’ was chosen by Lady Denham in the early days of the W.I. as she was the President. When the W.I. started in Great Britain it was the time of the 1st World War and food was in short supply. At that stage, the W.I. was under the wing of the Ministry of Agriculture and members were encouraged to grow more food. The WI members were again encouraged to produce food in the 2nd World War and members who were unable to do other war work undertook the job of using the glut of plums and other fruits to make jam. There was no remuneration. £1,400 worth of sugar was distributed to members at preservation centres all over the country. The story of Hawkinge W.I. in Kent typifies

the spirit that existed. It had been a large W.I. with over a hundred members and they had bought a canning machine.

Now there were only 5 members plus a canning machine.

Their county federation wrote offering to buy back the machine but the institute wrote back a polite refusal. They had bought it, they still had 5 members and they meant to use it. So whilst the Battle of Britain raged overhead, these five stayed and stirred and defied the Nazis. They took it in turns to go to the air raid shelter when the bombing was too intense. What courage they showed. They produced 7cwt of jam, and filled 7cwt of cans and one hundred bottles.

With stories like that, is it any wonder that jam is so ingrained in our history?

Poulton Le Fylde News

20mph Speed Limits 20mph speed limits are being introduced all over the UK, with parts of Wyre included in local plans In recent weeks, the local press has covered the news that most of Fleetwood is to be included in the new 20mph speed limit, and significant parts of residential Cleveleys and Thornton are also to be included.

The new 20mph speed limit will be in place in residential areas and outside schools by 2013, and in Wyre is being delivered in four phases. Fleetwood and the Cleveleys streets listed in this article are part of phase two and other areas will be rolled out in the next three years.

There is a pdf of a Lancashire County Council leaflet which has been delivered door to door and includes a general map of the areas included in each phase. A more detailed map of the proposed 20mph proposals will be available online when the consultation period begins.

Information released by Lancashire County Council states: ‘There has been a growing demand in Lancashire to introduce 20mph speed limits to address road safety concerns. Lancashire County Council is committed to introducing 20mph speed limits as a response to

the road safety concerns of the public in all residential areas and outside all schools by 2013.

The 20 mph speed limit schemes will be delivered in 4 phases across Lancashire.

‘Reducing speed in residential areas and outside schools will make the roads safer for everyone in the community and help encourage people to walk and cycle more and lead to more vibrant communities. We recognise that this will not happen overnight and we need to change the attitude and behaviour of drivers. We want to make driving over 20mph in a residential area socially unacceptable.

‘Recent guidance from the Government recommends that highway authorities introduce 20mph speed limits onto streets that are primarily residential in nature and do not form part of any major through route.

The 20mph speed limit is indicated by speed limit signs where the speed changes and the presence of smaller, additional signs at regular intervals instead of traditional traffic calming measures.
