Europe’s biggest nightclub shuts The Syndicate Blackpool — Don’t Fret Plenty Others Around!!

The following has appeared this morning on the Syndicate Website Blackpool..

Syndicate Blackpool

Syndicate Nightclub the UK’s largest superclub has ceased to trade for the foreseeable future from today’s date.

Contrary to the inevitable speculation the cessation of trade is not as a result of trading, which has significantly enhanced over the last 6 months following the refurbishment, but is the result of a very difficult ,unforeseen, unmanageable external factor. I would like to take this opportunity to wholeheartedly thank the whole of the Syndicate team that has worked tirelessly since the refurbishment this year to reinstate the club as one of Britain’s finest superclubs. Their passion, commitment, soul and belief has generated a unique team.

There will be more details about the future of the Syndicate brand in the coming months.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the hundreds of thousands of clubbers who have enjoyed the Syndicate experience each year for a number of years and we look forward to returning soon with another unique club offering.

Your support has been greatly welcomed and appreciated.

See you all soon

The British Open comes to Lytham St Annes in 2012

Over 4 days in July 2012 the Fylde coast will see an influx of the World’s greatest professional golfers as they converge on The Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club for the 2012 British Open Golf Tournament.

Royal Lytham and St Annes is but a few short miles from the premier seaside resort of Blackpool

The event takes place every year on one of nine links courses in England or Scotland, the nine courses share the event by a natural rotation and in 2012 the event will come to Lytham St Annes.

Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club was founded in 1886 and was the site of the British Ladies Amateur Golf Championship in 1893, its first ‘majors’ event. Royal Lytham as it is called is a true links course which refers to an area of coastal sand dunes mixed with open parkland. The word ‘links’ comes from the Scots (Gaelic) language and roughly translates to coastal area with sandy dunes. Links courses tend to be on or very close to the coast and the word is typically associated with coastal golf courses often amid dunes with a number of water hazards and very few trees. In most cases the land due to its sandy nature is unsuitable for building structures or for being used for farmland due to the salt content of the turf. Club House Royal Lytham St Annes

Links golf courses are most common on the Islands of Britain and Ireland, especially the Country which is known the world over as the home of golf Scotland. The British Open championship is always played on links courses and this is one of the main features which differentiate it from the three major championships held in the United States. The challenges of links golf fall into two categories. Firstly the nature of the courses themselves which will always challenge the most experienced golfer, and which tend to be characterised by uneven fairways, thick and small deep bunkers. Secondly due to their coastal proximity many links courses are often very windy. This will affect the style of play required, favouring golfers who are able to play low and accurate shots. Many links courses will consist of an outward nine holes to a distant point along the coast and a return on an inward nine holes in the opposite direction. Players often have to cope with opposite wind patterns in each half of their round. This sorts out the true professional golfers from the also ran’s and some world famous golfers have won the event over the years, although the event is open to both amateur and professional disciplines of the game.

The field for the open is 156, and players wishing to take part can qualify in one of three ways. Around two thirds of the field id made up of the World’s leading golfers who by virtue of their world rankings are given an exemption, the likes of Tiger Woods and or Darren Clarke would qualify an automatic entry under this rule. The rest of the field is comprised of players who were successful in ‘local qualifying’ and those who came through ‘International qualifying’ events. The qualifying criteria is so arranged as to ensure that there are some amateur competitors. Local qualifying is the traditional way for non-exempt players to win a place at the open. It comprises sixteen 18 hole regional qualifying competitions around Britain and Ireland around 10 days before the event. Successful competitors from these events will move onto a four 36 hole ‘local final qualifying tournaments a few days later. Of these the twelve best amateur golfers will go forward to the open itself.

Royal Lytham which will start the 2012 Open event on Thursday 19^th July 2012 has remained faithful to the original course created over a century ago. It is a links course surrounded by suburban housing and flanked by the Colne to Blackpool South railway line that is some way from the sea yet near enough to be subjected to the sea breezes the Fylde coast can generate. It is very likely the conditions will test all the players when they assemble to compete for the Claret jug.

The famous silver claret jug or to use its proper name the Golf Champion Trophy is presented to each year’s winner. The claret jug was made by Mackay Cunningham and Company of Edinburgh and was hallmarked in 1873. The first Open winner to receive the new trophy was the 1873 winner Tom Kidd, but Tom Morris Junior’s name was the first to be engraved upon the trophy as the 1872 winner.

In 1920 all responsibility for the Open Championship was handed over to the Royal and Ancient Golf Club who also display the original Claret Jug in their Trophy Room alongside the original winner’s medals which were presented pre 1873.

Visitors to the 2012 Open Championship are in for a very real treat. Lytham St Annes where the course is sited is a small Lancashire town and does not have the required number of visitor accommodation bed which will be required throughout the Championship. Blackpool however has a wealth of hotels both small and large and from each end of the affordable spectrum. The Imperial on North Shore long ago the preferred hotel for Tory prime ministers when they were at Conference in the town will no doubt accommodate some of the top stars down to the well know travel lodges and Premier Inns a number of which have sprung up around Blackpool in the last few years. At the other end of the scale traditional b&b’s and bed and will be offering rooms to the discerning travellers.

At the time of wring this article Moorbank House is almost sold out for the duration of the competition with most guests opting to stay over a couple of extra days to enjoy some of the other attractions Blackpool has to offer such as the Pleasure Beach and the Blackpool Dungeon newly opened in September 2011. With the new promenade the major plank of Blackpool’s regeneration project all finished they are in for quite a treat.

Armed Forces Week Blackpool 18th – 26th June 2011

Armed Forces Week Blackpool 2011

Yet Again Blackpool will be welcoming back Veterans to celebrate Armed Forces Week.

Celebrating Britain’s armed forces, past, present and future.

It’s only fitting that don’t-do-it-by-halves Blackpool should host a whole week of events, during 18-26 June, to celebrate the British Armed Forces rather than just a day like other parts of the country.

Armed Forces Week Blackpool is the resorts’ annual opportunity to show it’s support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community: from currently serving troops to Service families, and from veterans to cadets.

Blackpool joins together to celebrate, honour and unite Britain’s Armed Forces past, present and future.

Following extensive restoration of Blackpool’s Cenotaph carried out over the past two years, a Service of Celebration will be held incorportating the “Choir Loft” which was opened by HRH The Duchess of Cornwall at the 2008 National Armed Forces’ Day event

Attending the service will be veterans, cadets, serving military including RAF, 12 Regiment RA and 103 Regiment RA (v), the Band of the Lancashire Artillery and the general public. Everyone is welcome.

Following the Sunday morning service Blackpool invites members of the Armed Forces, veterans and cadets to join in the short parade down the promenade.

Friends and family are invited to line the route and cheer and wave their Union Flags.

As is Common a Number of Restaurants and other Service Providers in Blackpool will be offering discounts and other goodies for Veterans.
