Hello and welcome to the April edition of LINK-Magazine.
Spring is in the air; lambs are happily knocking about the countryside, the daffodils are sprouting their majestic yellow flowers, and it looks like the sun is finally starting to shine. Let’s hope it continues for what is certain to be a fantastic Easter weekend!
There’s lots of offers inside this month’s issue to help you enjoy it too, including for Blackpool Model Village and Farmer Parr’s Animal World. There’s also big St George’s Day celebrations going on towards April 23 in different areas of the Fylde – check out our FY8 edition online for a huge bash.
And don’t forget Her Majesty’s birthday on Saturday April 21 – another (or any!) excuse for celebration!
We’ve had over 300 entries (and counting) to WIN TWO FREE tickets to watch McFly and The Wanted at Blackpool’s Festival Headline event. We’ll announce the result and the winner in our May issue.
Congratulations to the winners of last month’s competitions. Paul Heelis won our Where Am I? competition, so well done - £50 is on its way to you! Also, Mr J Rourke 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.

The four founded the company on an agreed understanding; that it would be based on the belief that their customers’ needs are of the greatest importance. The entire team is committed to meeting those needs and, as a result, a high percentage of their custom comes from repeat business and referrals.
Their aim is to offer a professional approach when creating an event to remember. It is the flexibility, imagination, and dedication they offer to each individual client that has made them so highly respected within their line of work.
Thirst Event is equipped to deal with any size party and all types of events, from a family barbeque to the most glamorous wedding, corporate event or village festival.
Friendly, approachable staff are available to assist you throughout your event, which may include services such as a hog roast machine, large BBQ, mobile bars, licensing applications, fridge hire, drinks dispensing equipment, glassware, and options such as all exclusive, guest pay, and part pay bars.
The hog roast machine is a self-contained unit and can be served indoors or outdoors, and the hog can be carved in front of your guests, with the aroma and display superbly complementing the atmosphere.
As well as offering the finest food, prepared by head chef Bob Swarbrick, who has over 20 years’ experience, Thirst Events can provide branded drink selections and also specialise in real ale from local suppliers and breweries.
Thirst Events realise that your special day may be one of the most important times of your life, so the utmost attention is paid to every enquiry to ensure all your requirements are met – helping you plan a day that you will never forget.

Established in the 1980s by Dave Fletcher and joined shortly after by co-director Mark Hegarty, Lytham Windows is now moving into its fourth decade of trading, and is the longest established manufacturing UPVC company on the Fylde Coast.
From humble beginnings to the purpose-built premises on Preston New Road, the company has come a long way, and over 100,000 retail, trade and commercial customers are testimony to its high standards of workmanship, service and quality.
Managing Director Dave Fletcher said: “It’s fantastic the way our customers keep coming back to us time after time, and now, because we have been trading for so long, we are doing installations for our original customers’ grown-up children!”
The prestige showroom has state of the art orangeries, doors, conservatories, and windows on display, all made to the highest standards in the on-site factory that can now make over 500 frames a week.
What has kept Lytham Windows the market leader all these years? “The customer is the most important person in the world,” Dave explained. “I insist on the highest standards of workmanship and professionalism from my staff, so customers know that each installation will be carried out cleanly and efficiently.
“There is no high-pressure selling here, all quotes are put in writing so the customer can decide at their leisure, and each job carries a no-quibble 15-year guarantee along with a ten-year insurance-backed guarantee.
“We are also a FENSA-registered company, which means that every installation is registered and certified as meeting as building regulations.”
Competitive pricing and up-to-date computer technology, together with years of experience explain the company’s ever-growing popularity. And it is a well-known fact that consumers buy from people they like, so with the staff turnover at Lytham Windows so low, the same friendly faces greet customers time and time again.

We are proud to announce Windmill Craft Centre has been voted the Craft Retailer of the Year for the third time running. To win this prestigious award is a fantastic achievement of which we’re very proud.
This is our 10th year of trading and we’re delighted that our loyal customers voted for us (it’s the customers that nominate and vote for the traders in these awards).
Windmill Knit n Stitch was awarded the Runner-up Retailer of the Year award for both the Knitting and the Stitching categories. This is really inspiring, as we have only just celebrated our first year of trading. The customers obviously like what we sell and the fact that we’re open every day helps too.
In both the shops we have a wide range of products to suit all budgets. If a customer wants something that we don’t have in stock we do our very best to get it for them. We’re always happy to give help and advice as well as running craft workshops.

A traditional hardware store, we have been established since the early 1900s and have served the local and surrounding community with a wide range of hardware, and basic and specialist cleaning care ranges,” says present owner Mark, who, as most of you know has been associated with the shop for ten years.
At first he was employed as what he calls a “compost shifter,” as that’s what he seemed to spend his entire day doing! But after gradually taking on more and more responsibility, Mark jumped at the chance to buy the business he had grown to love.
Unfortunately, in a spell of misfortune, catastrophe struck on New Year’s Eve, when a terrible flood caused damage and heartbreak. But Mark is determined to get the shop back firing on all cylinders this year, and like a phoenix rising from the ashes, will be just as good if not better than its old self.
Mark said: “I really appreciate all the support you have given me through this difficult period, and I want to thank you for your patience whilst waiting for goods I’ve had to order especially for you. But as everyone
knows you can’t fit a pint in a half pint pot, although I do try my very hardest to!”
As times change people need more choice, and Mark now stocks a variety of electrical products, such as kettles, toasters, irons, heaters, and - for the more exotic - smoothie makers, crock-pots, and slow cookers. He also stock radios and telephones, and a wide range of TVs and microwaves are available too, so feel free to call and ask about any item you have a fancy for. Mark will do his best to try and meet your needs at a price that suits you.
Plus! Mark now has an extensive new garden range of seeds and fertilizers, plus ornaments and pots to enhance all gardens. “Come and check my special offers and our buy-one-get-one-free ranges. Our famous Mr Singleton’s top quality garden compost has now arrived, which we will deliver for free if required,” Mark said.
“Please feel free to come and look around the shop. Remember we are proud to be your local hardware shop and want to please YOU. Your satisfaction is very important to us.”

Poulton Partnership have got summer on their minds and are starting to gear up for the big annual event for the town – Poulton Gala. It’s on 2nd June 2012, so watch this space for more details.
The ‘In Bloom’ team at Poulton are also working hard to bring another annual display of magnificence to the town again this year, as the place is transformed into a glorious sea of colour – and how pretty it looks too!
We’re always on the look out for your news and stories and in the last few weeks we’ve shared drama groups, school
news, cricket fixture lists and beer festivals! A lovely email came from an elderly couple who live in Canada and come to Poulton every year on holiday and plan to move here – they think it’s a fabulous place and there’s nothing like it at their side of the world! If you’ve got anything to tell us just email [email protected] or ring 07932 143431.

James started his career in the RAF, where he trained as a motor mechanic. On leaving the RAF, he bought his first garage on Station Road in Poulton in 1993. He steadily built up his business and then expanded into larger premises, when he moved to Fleetwood in 2002 by buying Central Garage on Albany Road.
He has built a team of thirteen dedicated people offering a high standard of customer care from the moment you arrive through to delivery of your vehicle. They offer a wide range of services including MOT testing (class 4, 7 and motorbikes), fixed-price servicing, diagnostics, computerised wheel alignment & tyres, air-conditioning checks, batteries, etc. They also offer free courtesy cars, and even have a courtesy van for commercial customers!
James has a simple philosophy, “We take good care of each and every customer that comes our way”. This ideal runs right through the company where there is a strong emphasis on customer care. Lesley and Debbie are on hand to take your call with access to highly trained mechanics, the team can assist and advise you every step of the way.
All prices at the garage are fully inclusive, with no hidden extras. James working practice is to be honest and reliable at all times. James said “We describe all work required in simple terms, no jargon. We always look for the best and most cost-effective solution to meet your repair needs. We never start work until the job has been quoted and approved by the customer”.
Need tyres? They have a large range of tyres in stock to cater for all makes, models and to meet all budgets. James has also invested in a ‘Nitrogen Tyre Inflation’ machine which is guaranteed to increase the efficiency of your vehicle and reduce your fuel consumption. James said “At Central Garage, we are always looking for products and services that we can offer our customers to help reduce the cost of their motoring”. The Nitrogen Tyre Inflation machine is just one such way in which a little investment from the customer can prove long term benefits.
James Jackson’s Central Garage is one of the only local garages where you can still have your car filled up by an attendant! James explained “We recognise that some of our customers find it difficult to fill the car themselves and like our ‘old-fashioned’ approach to fuelling cars. That is why we offer this service”. James said “I’ve been in business now for 18 years with many customers that have been with me right from the start. But I like to think that although we’ve expanded, we are large enough to cope but small enough to care”.
James and his family now live in Thornton Cleveleys, where both his wife and himself were brought up. James spends much of his spare time in Fleetwood though, where on a Saturday afternoon you’ll find him at Highbury stadium cheering on Fleetwood Town FC along with the Cody Army.
James Jackson’s Central Garage is situated just a stone’s throw from the ground down Albany Road, just off Poulton Road. James and his team would like to thank all their customers both old and new for their continued support, and look forward to seeing you soon.
