POULTON LE FYLDE Your FREE Local Community & Business Directory Hello and welcome to the latest edition of LINK Mag! I don’t want to worry you, but Christmas is creeping ever closer!

Loads of the many businesses featured in this month’s magazine have incredible seasonal offers on – so make sure you keep your eyes peeled for a bargain or two, although I bet one or two readers will have started their Christmas shopping in January!

There’s still loads to do before then though. Remember, remember… erm, what date is it again? Oh yeah, the 5th November. The night when the smell of gunpowder and burning wood fills the air and the crackling of constant fireworks excites people of all ages.

Wrap up warm and head down to one of the many bonfires arranged throughout the Fylde Coast: Cottam Hall in Poulton, Blackpool Cricket Club at Stanley Park, Rossall School and more!

WIN 2 FREE Tickets to watch Southend Utd match at Fleetwood Town FC 8th December, simply answer the question and be entered into the draw, see inside.

Congratulations to the winners of last month’s competitions.

Margaret Dyer 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 96,000 homes and businesses across the Fylde Coast, as well as offering FREE ‘What’s On’ listings for most local events.

LINK-Magazine is your local community & business directory.

GET IT COVERED, GET IN LINK! Many Thanks

“Quality, quality, quality,” Andrew responds when asked what is the most important thing to him.

“Every customer must be 100% with the work we do – that way they recommend people to me and everybody is happy.”

Andrew’s business, Trade Granite & Kitchens, supplies all its highest quality products at a competitive price.

From granite and quartz worktops to homemade kitchens and furniture, it doesn’t matter. It’s all top-notch quality at bottom line prices.

“We keep our prices keen and our standards high,” Andrew says. “We make our own kitchens, they’re never flat-packed and they’re colour-coded so the doors match the units.”

The company also has a new showroom beside the Walk-In Centre at 144 Whitegate Drive, Blackpool.

Everybody is welcome to accept free advice from Andrew without obligation.

“We’re mainly family run; we don’t employ salesmen or contractors. Every job is project managed by me from start to finish,” Andrew said.

Got a hot-water cylinder in your airing cupboard? Well, the cylinder will stay hotter for longer with an insulation jacket. Fitting a new 75mm cylinder jacket will save you around £35 a year, according to the Energy Saving Trust, but it will only cost about £10.

Black Horse Equestrian Katy and Ryan have loved horses all their life, and Ryan even spends a lot of his time working with them.

So it was inevitable that they’d grow up and buy their own. But there was a problem. It’s expensive! But Katy and Ryan knew it didn’t have to be, so this year they opened up Black Horse Equestrian.

With a friendly, knowledgeable approach, business has been booming at the shop that sells all the right things at the right prices. And if they don’t have what you’re looking for, they’ll get it.

With products ranging from footwear, clothing, animal health and gifts, to rug cleaning and leather repairs, all at fantastic prices, Black Horse Equestrian is the place to go for all your equestrian needs.

Why not buy a personalised Christmas gift too? Get a picture of your horse on canvasses, mugs, phone or ebook covers and more – call 01253 365 698 today.

every year the country’s skies erupt with colour, but there’s more to bonfire night than the fireworks....

remember, remember...

the 5th of November!

We’ve all heard this rhyme and know it’s related to Bonfire Night and something to do with Guy Fawkes and the Houses of Parliament. Or was it the House of Commons?

Well, to try and clear up any doubts over what we are actually celebrating on 5 November every year, and how to celebrate it in style, we’ve put together a little guide.

It’s only natural that we start right at the beginning with the history of Bonfire Night. The main cause for this near-catastrophic event in British history was, of course, stemmed in religion.

When King James I came to the English throne in 1605 he established his power in the persecution of as many Catholics as possible, being a devout Protestant himself.

Obviously, the Catholics, who weren’t even allowed to practice their beliefs, opposed this idea and the famous ‘Gunpowder Plot’ was born. Aiming to blow up the Houses of Parliament and all who were inside (namely King James), the group sent the legendary Guy Fawkes to keep watch over the barrels of gunpowder hidden under the Parliament floors. He was found and arrested and the plan was blown to pieces. In celebration of his lucky escape, King James ordered for a bonfire to take place each year in remembrance.

BONFire NiGHt Was BOrN. 52

Steeped in tradition, the whole of Britain comes out and enjoys 5 November year after year, no matter the weather. It’s probably better if the fire doesn’t turn to embers as quickly as it starts, but hey, whether it’s raining, blowing a gale or (fingers crossed!) crisp and dry, we all love a good bonfire.

Every bonfire party should never be without good food, whether it’s at an organised event or a private party at home, toffee apples and bonfire lollies are a must, as are marshmallows cooked over the open flames. Delicious, hearty food should always be provided, so think sausage casseroles, beef stews and chilli con carne, and a large glass of mulled wine or spiced cider is always a good idea for warming your hands on. Try hot apple juice and cinnamon for the kids.

To get the most out of your bonfire, make sure you invest in some decent fireworks, and I don’t mean the £10 ones bought from your corner shop which just spit an array of colours whilst never moving off the ground. Check to see if there is a safe, organised firework event in your local area where all the family can enjoy the spectacular fireworks.

Where else in the world can you stand around in the freezing cold, eating burnt sausages and roasted chestnuts watching the sky light up before you? Get your friends and family round, wave a few sparklers and have fun with this truly brilliant British tradition.
