POULTON LE FYLDE MAGAZINE

MAY 2012

Hello and welcome to the May edition of LINK-Magazine.

Here at LINK Towers we hope you’re all enjoying the first signs of summer. We can’t wait to get the gazebo out, BBQ fired up and the beer cooled; so let’s all keep our fingers crossed for some great weather across the Fylde Coast!

Some of you may be taking advantage of the new warmth outside to finally get all those jobs done around the house. The good news is we have plenty of tradesmen inside this issue to help you do just that.

Every man’s home is his castle, and there are a few knights in shining armour inside that can slay the DIY demons, and help you get your home sorted in time for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee on 5 June.

A once-in-a-year opportunity is nearly upon us too – the chance to safely walk out to the historic Wyre Light at Fleetwood. Join in the Wreck Trek 2012 on Saturday 2 June at 3pm, in aid of the RNLI; a great cause I’m sure you will agree.

We’ve had over 500 entries to WIN TWO FREE tickets to watch McFly and The Wanted at Blackpool’s Festival Headline event. The winner for our FY6 edition was Lisa Roberts.

Congratulations to the winners of last month’s competitions. John Wright won our Where Am I? Competition, so well done - £50 is on its way to you! Also, Martyn Smith won the James Jackson WIN Your MOT draw. A pat on the back to you both!

Don’t forget, LINK-Magazine also offers competitive leaflet print and distribution for up to 96,000 homes and businesses across the Fylde Coast, as well as offering FREE What’s On listings for most local events.

Steps to Better Hearing Hearing loss is a gradual process and many people don’t realize the extent to which their hearing has deteriorated until others point it out. Meanwhile, changes in their activities of daily living reflect their diminished ability to hear (such as turning up the volume on the TV or asking people to speak louder).

Often, other family members make compensations for the hearing impaired -- but at some point, even that is not enough, and the individual begins to shy away from social situations. The effects of untreated hearing loss can lead to anxiety, insecurity, isolation and depression.

With the technology available today, hearing aids can significantly enhance the quality of life for most people with hearing impairment. Hearing aids are designed to make speech sounds clearer, and therefore easier to hear.

Those who opt for hearing aids experience better relationships with family and friends, higher self-esteem, improved mental health, and greater independence and security.

Every hearing loss is different, and everyone’s listening needs are unique. Hearing aids vary widely in their styles, sizes and types of circuit technology.

Considerations for device selection include your specific hearing-loss characteristics, physical anatomy and dexterity, lifestyle, preferences in device style and circuitry, and cost.

As a truly independent hearing aid company Hear2 provides assistance in helping you determine the best device to meet your individual needs and preferences. There are no hidden agendas sales targets or supply agreements with particular manufacturers.

All hearing aids also include circuitry to keep sound from becoming too loud and to reduce the effects of If you would like a free hearing test plus impartial background noise. It’s probably fair to say that the more sophisticated hearing aids do a much better job advice on the best solutions for your hearing loss call Hear2 on (01253) 855205 - Tuesday to Friday 9.30am of enhancing speech in noise than basic ones. to 5.00pm.

Have you ever wanted to be a rock star?

Well, everyone who comes to Rock-Jam Music Schools to learn electric guitar, drums, bass, or keyboards also gets the experience of playing in a real, live rock band, at the same time as learning their instrument in a unique and enjoyable way.

Gary Heyes, who owns the schools in Cleveleys, St. Annes, Lancaster, and Preston says: “This is by far the most enjoyable way of learning an instrument. For children, often the problem is keeping them motivated so that they practice and improve. Here at Rock-Jam our students are taught by young tutors on a 2:1 basis, and get to play with other budding musicians in a rock band environment every week as part of their lesson.

This really keeps them motivated!”

CAN YOU HELP??

The Poulton Rotary Club have a trailer based replica ‘’Thomas the Tank engine’’ which is used extensively for raising charity funds throughout the district. Unfortunately, Thomass’ current home has been sold and we need somewhere else for him. Thomas is slightly taller than an average vehicle but occupies about the same area so we need somewhere with the following criteria: - Easily accessible (also weekends & evenings) - Dry & secure - Opening height around 2m+ - Free or very low cost Can you help us?? If so we would be delighted to hear from you. Please contact our current President Chris on 01253 700833
