JULY 2012 Contents Covering the FY7 postcode area.

FLEETWOOD EDITION Your FREE Local Community & Business Directory Hello and welcome to the July edition of LINK-MAG! Here at LINK Towers, we had a great time celebrating the Queen’s jubilee, and we hope you did too. With any luck, by the time you’re reading this, English will still be competing in Euro 2012 – fingers crossed(!) – but if not, there’s still plenty to do locally, with all the fabulous local carnivals coming up, as well as ‘Tram Sunday’ on 17 July.

Then on 27 July, make sure you join four billion other people worldwide in watching the opening ceremony of the London Olympics. Whether you’re lucky enough to be watching in person, or simply enjoying it on TV, it should be a remarkable event with Trainspotting director Danny Boyle leading a cast of 15,000 performers in showcasing what is truly great about this country.

Our NEW business index is in this edition too. Designed to help you quickly and simply find the business you’re looking for at a glance, it can be found near the back of the magazine just inside from the classified pages.

Congratulations to the winners of last month’s competitions. Jack Mitchell won our Where Am I? Competition, so well done - £50 is on its way to you! Also, Mr Coulson of Fleetwood 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.

LINK-Magazine is your local community & business directory

MILITARIA ANTIQUES - WHERE SO MANY ITEMS TELL A STORY All over the UK, in many auction houses, there is a Militaria section, where enthusiastic collectors compete to add to their collections. The items on offer are wide ranging, with such things swords used in ancient battles, muskets, rifles, bayonets and pistols, uniforms and badges, naval equipment and much more. However it is the medals that tell a story of amazing bravery, courage and sacrifices made by so many members of our armed forces, not only in the two great wars, but in other conflicts around the world and even now in Afghanistan.

You only have to read the brief notes of lot 900, which sold in auction on the 3rd May 2012 – to see how three brothers gave their all for our country in the First World War – this being a wonderful story of how each of them, two in the Army and one in the Navy, who served so bravely along with so many others.

There are many different collectables in Militaria - for instance, shown here the boxed Kreigsmarin Naval U-Boat Sextant from the 1939-45 Second World War and an Army Colt Revolver (de-activated of course!) and so on. It really is a most interesting collecting area and extremely popular in the UK. Citation reads: “For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty for a long period of active service as battalion(s) medical oficers orderly, when with great bravery and skill he attended wounded under the most heavy shellfire and the worst conditions of mud, with absolute disregard for personal fatigue and safety.” For Gallentry in the field - next higher, the Victoria Cross.

Able Seaman Harry Mitcher (The illfated HMS Hampshire) KIA 26.6.1916.

A Very Rare WWI Family Group.

A. Mitchner (CPL-LT SGT Roual Warwicks) A distinguished conduct medal for Italy 3.6.1918

Rifleman G. Mitchner. 10th Battalion Kings Royal Rifle Corps. KIA 12.12.1915 The above is presented in an art deco rosewood frame and a full history for all three brothers is available.

Sold for £1400

ST GEORGES ROAD LYTHAM ST ANNES FY8 2AE

German Kreigsmarin Naval U Boat Lightweight Sextant made by C Plath in Hamburg c1935-1937. The observation arm with the German Eagle clutching a Swastika emblem numbered 1354; with two telescopic eye pieces and nine excellent quality mirrors and filters.

Housed in original wooden box.

SLATERS SERVICE CENTRE Tel: 01253 853 994 Mick Slater has been fixing cars for over twenty years. After working his way up to the top rank of Master Technician at Ford, he decided to fulfill a life-long ambition – start his own business.

“We’ve also got an extended ramp so we can service camper vans,” Mick added. “With the bigger ramp we can do stuff nobody else can.”

Mick said: “Our fully qualified staff offer a better service than anywhere else. Everything we do is exactly the same as the main dealer but we do it a lot cheaper.”

Mick said: “I’ll do whatever I can do to ensure I get your vehicle back to you as quickly as I can. But we don’t cut corners; we do the job properly regardless of whether it’s a puncture or an engine rebuild.

And because Mick understands just how important it is for you to have you car or van back on the road as soon as possible, whether That was three years ago, and business at Slater’s Service Centre is through the roof. Mick it’s your work vehicle or so you can pick the kids up from school, a courtesy car or van is has even been forced to upgrade from a small available if your car is off the road for more than unit to massive workshop in order to keep up a day. All you need to do is book in advance. with demand!

The friendly staff at Slater’s Service Centre carry out all services and repairs to the same standards as the manufacturer, and offer services and MOTs, work on clutches, air conditioning and tracking gauges, as well as supplying new and part-worn tyres.

“As long as our customers are happy, that’s all I care about.”

What’s more, they offer MOTs on cars, mini-buses and vans weighing up to 3.5 tonnes at just £35.

Postcard from Fleetwood The people of Fleetwood have been making it crack at the newly finished Marine Hall Gardens, kicking off 2012 with a great big party to celebrate the Queens Diamond Jubilee. Fleetwood Town Council backed the event with a £10,000 donation, and the 175 team led by Margaret Lund organised the day, which started at lunchtime and went on until late. There was entertainment and fun all through the day, with singers and performers in the evening and the grand finale of the Beacon being lit by Mrs Lofthouse at precisely 10.26pm! The same weekend saw the RNLI Wreck Trek taking place, with over 1000 people making the journey out to the lighthouse in the Wyre estuary and raising funds for the RNLI.

venue. Not to be missed, tell all your family and friends to come along and enjoy it. If anyone wants to help out for the day volunteers are always wanted!

Keep an eye on the website, www.visitFleetwood. info, for all the latest local developments and community news added regularly. You can subscribe for email updates to make sure that you don’t miss out!

If you’ve got anything to tell us just email jane@theRabbitPatch.co.uk or ring 07932 143431.

July starts off with another RNLI fundraiser as the guys push their lifeboat on the 1st on its annual trip on dry land, and on 21st July they are at it again with the Lifeboat Fun Day. Fleetwood Museum are busy and hard at it, with guided walks around town and craft events for the little ones.

Of course the big event on 15 July is the huge Tram Sunday – which transforms the whole of Fleetwood into one big outdoor party and entertainment

THE MOUNT RACING CLUB A NEW PARTNERSHIP Great news over the weekend as The Mount Racing Club landed a major coup by teaming up with Premiership footballers Wayne Rooney and John O Shea in their exciting 2year old colt Loki’s Strike.

The deal which was set up by their trainer Karl Burke was finalised on Saturday morning and comes as a massive boost for the Fleetwood based club. Geoff Holden who runs the club with Andy Eaton said “we had a phone call from Karl last week to say that they had been up and were impressed by our horse and wanted to buy in. We obviously agreed and are now thrilled to bits to be in partnership with them. Another bonus is that because we are still the majority shareholders in him we get to keep the name and more importantly he will continue to run in our colours.”

Loki’s Strike was set to run at Newcastle last Saturday night but was withdrawn due to rain softened ground and now the team are ploughing through the fixtures to find another suitable race for him. Geoff went on to say “there’s a common belief that Racehorse ownership is only for the rich and famous but it just goes to show that through the power of a syndicate anyone can get involved for a fraction of the cost.”

Advertise Call 0800 970 7687

The boys have now sold out Loki’s Strike but are in talks with Team Burke to bring another horse into the club and set up another syndicate. They have planned a morning on the gallops in Middleham, N.Yorkshire with Karl and his team on Saturday 7th July and are inviting anybody who wants to get involved to come along and watch the horses being put through their paces and see behind the scenes of a working stable.

Geoff and Andy are also pleased for their loyal owners as well who can now look forward to days out with their famous co owners.

If you would like to know more about the new horse syndicate or are interested in attending the gallops morning you can contact : Geoff 07852 153969 or Andy 07940 202312 for more details.

WILLIAM ROCKS SWIM WEEKEND 14 year old William Eccleston, from Fleetwood Swimming Club, created waves at the Blackpool Rocks open swimming competition recently at Palatine Pool when he achieved top places in eight events for his age group. William came up against swimmers from thirty five Lancashire clubs in the open meeting and secured three Gold medals in 50m butterfly, 100m freestyle, 200m freestyle. He also gained four Silver medals in 50m backstroke, 100m fly, 50m free and 200m individual medley together with a Bronze medal in 100m backstroke.

William, a pupil at Arnold School is a talented all round athlete and has recently been selected for the Great Britain Pentathlon Squad. He will spend the summer holidays training hard towards competing in the European B Championships which take place in Poland on the 16th August. His friends at Fleetwood Swimming Club wish him every success in the forthcoming competition.

Other Fleetwood swimmers who also enjoyed a very rewarding weekend in Blackpool were 13 year old Emma Wellard with three Gold medals in 50m, 100m and 200m breaststroke and 12 year old Ciara Barcock with three Golds in 50m backstroke, 50m freestyle and 100m fly. Charlotte Grogan, 12, enjoyed gaining medals for backstroke, Gold for 200m, Silver for 100m and Bronze for the 50m race. Katie Lawson aged 15 years came away with a Bronze medal in 400m freestyle and little Lily Evans, 9, gained a Gold medal in 50m free. All the club swimmers achieved their personal best times on the day.

Pictured aboveare five of the super six with their well earned medals!

Fleetwood News

A message from Margaret Lund, Chair of the Fleetwood Jubilee Celebration Organising Committee “Fleetwood certainly knows how to party! It was wonderful to see so many people out with their picnics on a Bank Holiday Monday enjoying the town’s very own Diamond Jubilee celebrations in the sunshine. Thanks must go to Fleetwood Town Council for having the vision to fund a fantastic, totally free event from the rates precept.”

“Last but by no means least, a huge thank you to our team who spent months organising the event, to all those volunteers who worked on the day to ensure we had a day to remember and a big thanks to the people of Fleetwood who, as ever, gave their support to show what community really means. Together we created a memorable day and I’m so very proud of our town.”

“The Marine Gardens and the Mount provided the perfect venue and stunning backdrop for the occasion and the support of Wyre Borough Council and Marine Hall staff, in the planning and on the day, was much appreciated.”

“Brilliant entertainment was provided throughout the afternoon and evening with something for everybody, and the grand finale with the lighting of the jubilee beacon and firework display to the strains of “Land of Hope and Glory” was truly breathtaking. Grateful thanks to all those who gave their time to take part. They were all amazing.”

memory. Enjoy a two hour stroll recalling many aspects of the holiday seasons of the past. Participation in the walk is available to all for a small £2 donation towards museum funds.

Fleetwood Museum News What a splendid occasion the Marine Gardens Jubilee Party turned out to be. It was certainly an opportunity for Museum volunteers to meet the many visitors and to raise funds for future Museum projects. In recent weeks several local residents have visited the museum with items for donation and also unique photographs which we have been able to copy and place in our records. We take pride in being a community museum and are well supported by the unique community spirit in Fleetwood.

A number of social events are planned for July, the first being a heritage walk on Thursday July 5th. The walk, leaving the Museum entrance at 13.30, will be on the theme of The Growth of Fleetwood as a holiday resort.

On July 15th 1840, the town became the first seaside town in the World to be linked to the railway system.

Since then Fleetwood has seen many fluctuations in its holiday trade. Key events were undoubtedly the opening of Fleetwood Pier, the development of the foreshore lakes, baths and gardens and Marine Hall and the loss of the lucrative Isle of Man steamer service. More controversial were the seafront miniature railway, Fleetwood Zoo and Toyland-the childrens amusement park. Fond memories of Bilton’s Marionettes and Corrigan’s are still fresh in the

On Thursday July 12th, well known local speaker, Jill Marr, will give a talk at the Museum entitled,’The Titanic’.

This year has seen the 100th anniversary of the loss of the magnificent liner and Fleetwood had links with the launching of the ship. The talk starts at 14.00 in the upstairs education room. Admission is free and all are welcome. Another major event this year is the 400th anniversary of the Lancashire Witches Trial and to mark the notable event the Friends of Fleetwood Museum are organising a day coach excursion to the Pendle area on Monday 17th September followed by a drive along the route taken by the unfortunate accused on their way to trial and execution at Lancaster. We will be visiting some of their home villages in the Pendle area and then on to Lancaster for the major exhibition about this fascinating piece of history. There will be time to browse in the city or take a short heritage walk relating to the witches trial.

We will be travelling through some of Lancashire’s finest scenery and a limited number of tickets are available from the museum priced at £13.50. For information ring the museum on 876621.
