WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED PLANS ON TRACK: Cllr Tony Lawrenson: “The regeneration will go ahead with or without them [Sainsbury’s].

Store appeal casts doubt on site swap By Dave Goodban

SAINSBURY’S is launching a High Court bid to stay at its current spot in Northwich.

Developers want the supermarket to move to the present Matalan site to make room for an 80,000sq ft department store, as part of the multi-million pound redevelopment of Barons Quay. Matalan would then relocate to the current council depot spot, which will move to Winsford, the Chronicle understands. A Vale Royal Borough Council spokesman said last week Sainsbury’s had “approved the principle of moving to a new location”. But at a meeting at Wyvern House on Tuesday it was revealed company bosses have submitted an appeal to overturn a previous ruling denying them permission to extend the store. Cllr Tony Lawrenson said the ongoing wrangle will not affect the progression of the Northwich Vision, which is expected to bring up to £300m of investment to the town. He said: “The regeneration will go ahead with or without them – it will make no difference. It’s better with them, but it won’t affect the development long term.” Sainsbury’s did not want to comment but borough council director of corporate and economic affairs Noel O’Neill confirmed on Friday they had lodged the appeal.

OFFICIAL PARTNER

Parish plan is wish of majority KINGSMEAD could soon become a parish in its own right. Vale Royal Borough Council’s executive group passed a recommendation a new parish be created at a meeting at Wyvern House on Thursday night. The group came to its conclusion after considering the views of more than 1,500 residents in the parishes of Davenham and Northwich. The preference from “the vast majority” of residents living in the Kingsmead area was to have a new parish council – joining Northwich was the least-favourite option. If councillors agree with the recommendation at the next full borough meeting on September 25, a boundary will be drawn up and the new parish will be given a name. This would be likely to happen in the autumn. Cllr Val Godfrey said: “We have listened to people in the parishes of Davenham and Northwich and this action is favoured as a solution to suit the majority of residents’ wishes.”

Drug deal ended in stabbing A TEENAGER who stabbed a Delamere man in the neck during a drugs deal has been sentenced to three years in a detention centre. James Wilson, 17, of Milton Green, near Tattenhall, had already admitted attempted robbery and unlawful wounding but was spared a more serious custodial sentence at Chester Crown Court. On April 19, Wilson arranged to meet 19-year-old Johnathan Scott, from Delamere, to buy £20 worth of the potent class C substance “skunk”. After a brief conversation Wilson grabbed Mr Scott by the chains around his neck, brandished a large wooden-handled kitchen knife and put it to the victim’s throat, demanding the drugs. In the ensuing scuffle, Mr Scott’s fingers and neck were badly cut and he was taken to the Countess of Chester hospital. Judge Nicholas Clarke told Wilson: “You knew it was serious because you took a knife with you. This was obviously pre-planned. “It was fortunate for the victim and for you, that the knife did not cut through his main artery.” Mr Clarke said it was important to send out the right message about knife crime. He added: “I am persuaded that, despite your past convictions and the seriousness of this offence, a detention order will be a sufficient deterrent.”

1,600 mile drive to Italy – in £100 banger By Dave Goodban

STAFF from Winsford’s NeuroMuscular centre set off on a 1,600 mile, four day “Scally Rally” across Europe this week – in a £100 car. The foursome - Leanne Marsden, Nick Emery, Dee Valkaring and Ben Dale - are aiming to raise £5,000 for the NMC, which was set up in 1990 to provide help and support for muscular dystrophy sufferers. And thanks to a generous donation from Rudheath-based computer firm Concise IT, they are almost there. “They have kindly sponsored us an amazing £1,000 to carry their logo across the continent to our final destination of Rimini, Italy,” said Leanne, the NMC’s events manager. “This amazing generosity has taken us 97% of the way to our final target, and we are absolutely thrilled. We would like to thank Aiden Wilkinson and the directors at Concise IT for their incredible support.” Leanne and her team will begin the rally from Calais on Friday morning along with 99 other teams, and expected to reach the finish line in Rimini on Tuesday. “This is a brand new and exciting event for the centre and we don’t

Teen broke car window after row A TEENAGE father-to-be has appeared before magistrates after smashing a car window following a row with his pregnant girlfriend. The 17-year from Northwich, who cannot be named for legal reasons, punched the rear windscreen of a Ford Ka in Rudheath at around 12.30pm on June 5 after an argument in the street. He was ordered to pay £60 compensation after pleading guilty to criminal damage at Vale Royal Youth Court on Wednesday. And he was made the subject of a 7pm-7am curfew for the next month. “We want to stop this pattern of behaviour before it escalates,” said chairwoman of the bench, Ruth Downes.

Charity’s £7,000 chequemates THE NeuroMuscular Centre at Winsford received a welcome boost when one of the North West’s leading construction companies handed over £7,000 in donations. Pochin, based on Brooks Lane, Middlewich, presented the cheque last week, following the company’s annual Golf Day at Carden Park Hotel, Preston Brook, in August. Pochin chairman Richard Fildes handed over a £,5000 cheque, and another £2,000 was raised during dinner. Matthew Lanham, executive director at the NMC, said: “This amount of money really will make an impact. It could keep one of our adapted minibuses on the road for a whole year, ensuring that our disabled workforce can want to miss out on the chance to spread the name and fantastic work here at the NMC,” said Leanne. “Our work is unique and we exist as the only centre of its kind in the UK.”

Youngsters’ art attack

IMPRESSIVE: Artist Paul Clifford admires the exhibition at the new Winsford Lifestyle Centre. YOUNGSTERS from across the borough are behind an innovative art exhibition on display at Winsford’s new multi-million pound Lifestyle Centre. Their work, created in a series of workshops last month, has been mounted on hoardings surrounding the site of the new facility. Painter and digital artist Paul Clifford worked with the children to create silhouettes of themselves, which were then developed into flower-themed self portraits.

Cllr John Grimshaw, lead councillor for recreation, said: “The workshops provided an excellent opportunity for the young people to work with a professional artist and come together to create a piece of art for public display that everyone in Winsford can enjoy.” Paul added: “The young people and I had a fantastic time creating these. The idea was developed especially for this project so it meant I was learning as much as everyone else”

Silver lining for hometown club

‘We could have won’ MATT Langridge and seven crewmates expected to win the gold medal at Beijing. And collecting silver was, said the British eight oarsman, initially devastating. It was the same feeling Northwich hurdler Shirley Strong experienced after coming second at the 1984 Games and it was years before she could look at her medal. He said: “Training had gone so well and we had such a great heat we thought we’d win. “Now I can see it as an achievement, but at the time it was disappointment, defeat, though I can’t bring myself to watch a video of the final. “It’s four years work and then one race and about five minutes 25 seconds to get it right – and you only get the one shot. “We thought we’d win. I still think we could have won. But if we’d gone there thinking of the silver we might have only won bronze. “As a rower out there we were just doing what we have done for four years and you don’t appreciate what it meant to people. “Back home everyone has been talking about it, people I haven’t met since I was at primary school, everyone – the reaction has been amazing.” Matthew, who competed at the Athens Games in a double sculls, but did not make the final, said: “The venues in China were amazing and the Chinese brilliant. I got to see some of the other events and taking part in the closing ceremony was tremendous. “London won’t be a match for Beijing, but we can beat them on atmosphere.”

OLYMPIC oarsman Matt Langridge could be back racing for Northwich next year. The Beijing silver medallist might return to his roots on the River Weaver to try to win at Henley Regatta for his old club. The 24-year-old former junior world champion is even considering his long-term future in the sport. He said: “I have always said I’d like to win Henley for Northwich. At some point I will row for them again – and it may not be that far away. I am thinking of rowing and training up here for a while. If I am to do it and still go for the London Games then it has to be this year – the one after an Olympics is more relaxed and the squad is more flexible.” Matthew, who was in the British eight beaten to the gold medal by Canada, won his world title in two-oared single sculls and that has always been his first love. He added: “They might not be too happy about me not being part of the squad for a year, but rowing is performance-based and if you are the fastest that is what matters. “This is the time when I have to think what I want to do for the next four years and I am undecided. London Olympics does not seem so far off right now, but once training starts it will seem a million miles away. “Soon it will be winter training and it is

Charity car boot sale

WINSFORD Town Mayor Des Worthington is hosting a charity car boot sale at the Verdin Field in Grange Lane from 9am-1pm on Sunday, October 5. No cars should be on site before 8am and members of the public are asked to pay on the day. A car will cost £8 and vans and trade will cost £10.

I think I will carry on, though.” Matthew was back at his home at London Road, Northwich – and a hero’s reception at a packed Northwich Rowing Club on Friday. He was presented with a sports achievement recognition award by Vale Royal mayor Malcolm Gaskill and praised by MP Mike Hall.

Cheers! Pub in national guide for its real ale A WINSFORD pub has been acclaimed for the quality of its real ale – by members of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). The Queen’s Arms on Dene Drive is listed in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide 2009, which was published last Thursday. It is the only pub in the town to be chosen by local branch members following regular visits to check on the quality of the real ales. A CAMRA spokesman said: “The Queen’s Arms deserves its place in the Good Beer Guide. It is our belief that if a licensee serves an excellent pint of

real ale, everything else in the pub, including customer service, quality of food, decor and atmosphere, is likely to be of an equally high standard.” Pub manager Helen Cazaly said: “I am delighted The Queen’s Arms has been recognised for the quality of its real ales. “We offer our customers an excellent range of real ales at all times, including those from regional brewers and microbrewers. “Our staff work hard to ensure that they are kept in first-class conditionand the pub’s inclusion in the guide highlights this.”

A HARTFORD schoolgirl has her sights set firmly on the Olympics after representing Great Britain in a European three-day eventing championship. On her pony Willy, 16-year-old Helen Dunning was 10th out of 50 international riders aged 12 to 16 in the eventing section of the Pony European Championships in Switzerland. To qualify for a place in the five-strong British team, she had to compete in pre-trials against 150 other national riders. Helen, a pupil of The Grange School, has been riding since she was two and is well- known for her equestrian successes. As well as pony Willy, she has three horses and practises her riding most days. Her abilities have attracted grants from Sports Aid to help with expenses “Wearing the British flag on my hat and jacket in Switzerland was amazing,” said Helen. “My ambitions now are to finish Badminton and represent my country in the Olympics… 2012 may be a bit soon but it would be fantastic!”

Meter system’unfair’ WEAVER VALE MP Mike Hall is calling for an end to the pre-payment meter premium – which he believes is hitting many residents in the pocket. Mike Hall claims housing trust tenants who pay for gas and electricity by this method may be paying up to £70 a year more than customers who pay by quarterly bills. Mr Hall also says such tenants may be paying £300 more per year than customers who pay by online direct debit. He said: “I am urging the Government to take statutory action to stop energy companies charging pre-payment meter customers higher premiums and to equalise pre-payment meter tariffs.”

RAID: Two people were arrested on suspicion of supplying drugs after police searched a house in Winsford.

Pair cautioned for drug possession after raid A MAN and a woman, both in their 30s, were arrested for drugs offences after a police raid in Winsford this week. Police officers carried a search of the house at Portman Place after a tip-off, and a 36-year-old man and 37-year-old woman both received a caution for possessing cannabis. Sgt Danny Haddock, of Winsford Neighbourhood Policing Unit, said: “Although no charges came as a result of the warrant, the action taken shows that we will not tolerate the supply or use of illegal drugs in Winsford. “It is vital that people who have information about the sale or use of drugs in Winsford pass those details on to the police. We are committed to tackling this issue, but we can only do this successfully with the help of local residents.”

Vaccination can cut risk of cancer CASES of cervical cancer could be cut by nearly three-quarters in Cheshire, as a result of a new vaccination programme that is getting under way over the next few weeks. Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide and the HPV, or human papillomavirus, vaccine is being offered to all 12 and 13-year-old girls in school year 8. It protects against the two types of HPV which cause more than 70 per cent of cervical cancers. A two-year "catch-up" programme will start in school year 2009-10 to vaccinate girls aged 15-18. Girls aged 17 and 18 will also be offered the vaccination by their own GP practice for this year only as not all girls of this age are still at school. This will ensure that, by summer 2011, all girls currently up to the age of 18 will be protected. The launch of the new national campaign coincides with the start of the new school year and more than 1,200 girls in Western Cheshire stand to benefit from the first wave of the vaccination programme which will be carried out by NHS school health advisers. Information leaflets and letters of consent have been distributed – via schoolbags – to parents and carers of girls aged 12 and 13 asking permission for their daughters to be vaccinated. The vaccination sessions will start in local secondary schools in the third week of September. This is a wonderful opportunity to protect the health of young women and we would urge parents and carers to read the information their daughters bring home and consent to this vaccination. It is equally important that parents and carers understand why this vaccination is needed and we are ready and able to talk to them if they want to contact us for more information. Any parents or carers with questions about the vaccination programme should contact their daughter's school health adviser. WENDY MEREDITH Director of Public Health, Cheshire County Council

Nothing funny about Chubby’s offensive act THE article by Will Harris in The Chronicle, September 3, 2008 informs us of the return to the Lyceum Theatre, Crewe, of Roy ‘Chubby’ Brown. If Mr Brown is the ‘genuinely funny man’ Will apparently thinks he is, there is no need for his material to be offensive and rude. This sort of humour is the mark of a desperate comic who has to resort to filth to get a laugh. Mr Brown is not alone. The BBC warns listeners about Russell Brand’s act. No wonder young people today think it is acceptable to use four letter words in their somewhat limited conversations. I have seen some of the most famous comedians of all time, Morecambe and Wise, Jewell and Warris, Sid Field, Bob Hope, Ted Ray, – none resorted to blue material. As a retired professional dancer I do not wish to be bitchy about another performer try-

WHEN is somebody going to have the gumption to take responsibility for the land at the bottom of Vicarage Walk, known as ‘The Horse Shoe’? I am sick, weary and tired of hounding VRBC only to be told time and again it is not their responsibility. Well, if it’s not, whose is it? VRBC say it’s British Waterways, they say it is not. Who is responsible? All anyone is doing is passing the buck to avoid doing anything. It is an absolute disgrace and I am fed up with making myself unpopular, making myself ill and being ridiculed by the mindless yobs on trail bikes who just churn up the ground and then ride off, leaving others to clear up their mess, but nobody does.

Lib Dems are small-minded

I AM saddened by the criticism from Cllr Bob Thompson (Lib Dem) in which he chooses to criticise a total of £9,000 of additional allowances to be paid to nine individuals for the huge amount of work they are expected to do in creating policy and a seamless transition of four existing councils into our new council – building a new organisation of 15,000 staff with a £500m budget. This is incredibly smallminded – particularly when his own Lib Dem Leader is asking for a similar amount for himself as leader of only four Lib Dem councillors out of a total of 72! I am also disappointed that he chooses to criticise the pay of the directors currently being recruited when, firstly, he is a member of the staffing committee who

This week on the forums Posted by: Sax Subject: The Premiership I don't mind competition, I think it is healthy and there hasn't been enough recently. The trouble is, the more money thrown into the premiership the greater the gap between it and the other divisions. We are creating a super league that is going to be unobtainable and therefore closed to all other opposition unless you cough up. Where is the motivation for the lower league clubs to invest and improve? Or indeed, the competition?

Posted by: Budge Subject: The Premiership I think it’s all heading towards a European super league or a world league. With so much investment clubs will want to recoup some of the cash and the way to do it is pay per view TV and a wider viewing audience. Lets face it.... the only reason the Champions league was introduced was to stave off a Euro league in the first place. Bring it on I say as we already have a three tier premiership.

agreed the salary levels; secondly, the directors will be paid less than the existing county council directors; and thirdly to make a petty party political point at the expense of staff and managers who are currently having to apply for jobs as staff numbers have to reduce when the four councils combine into a single new authority. I do hope the Lib Dems will raise their game out of petty party politics and work with all political parties in the priority task of forming the new council for April 1, 2009 – ensuring schools will operate, vulnerable adults are protected and our dustbins are emptied, along with many other vital

Proud to say I hate racists

IN reply to the person who said I too was a bigot, when it comes to any kind of “ism” I plead guilty. I will hate racists until the day I die and I am very proud to say it. UKIP and the BNP are racists – I hate them. ALAN LOWE Melchett Crescent, Rudheath

Children have the same rights SO the BNP want the police to give unruly youths a clip around the ear? Well I suppose that is what we should expect from the nasty party. Children should have all the same rights as adults, rather than being treated differently, and the police should not be able to so much as touch a child, let alone discipline them. Swearing and wayward behaviour are freedoms of expression for modern youth, and the police should just get used to it – we need to understand the pressures children face, not discipline them.

MR P EDDISON Shipbrook Road Northwich I WOULD like to second Ralph Ellis, of ■ the BNP, that people in

authority should be respected. He was commenting on the case of a policeman who punched a youth. The police should be respected by the young. All people deserve respect even, I suppose, Mr Ellis. I do my best but there is something about BNP members that makes me want to punch them. MRS BROWN Barnton

Cancer fund set up in memory of Dave

By Belinda Ryan

GILL Willcocks had never heard of mesothelioma until the day her husband was diagnosed with the killer disease. At a time when she should have been able to devote all her attention to her dying husband Dave, she also had to trawl through medical books to find out more about the devastating illness. She enlisted the help of the Citizens’ Advice Bureau to learn about practical and financial support. That’s why, on the day of her husband’s inquest last week, she announced the launch of the Dave Willcocks Asbestos Victim Support Group (DWAVSG). “I didn’t even know what the disease was until my husband was diagnosed with it,” said Gill. “I work as a housekeeper at Leighton Hospital and it was only through talking to people myself that I found things out.” Dave was 61 when he died from cancer of the lining of the lung last October. The disease is caused by exposure to asbestos. Dave was exposed to the deadly dust while working at ICI’s Wallerscote Works in Northwich between 1970 and 1973. Gill recalled how he first became ill in September, 2005.

newsline: 01606 42272 distribution: 0151 4722803

VICTIM: Dave Willcocks died from mesothelioma caused by asbestos.

“He had a problem breathing and an awful cough.” After several trips to the Accident and Emergency Department at Leighton Hospital, Dave was kept in hospital for tests. “That’s when they found the asbestos,” says Gill. Dave was working as a joiner for a Stoke company but towards the end of 2006 he was becoming worse. He had a scan and mesothelioma was diagnosed at Wythenshawe Hospital. “I started asking all sorts of questions,” says Gill. “To me, the asking of questions was quite important. There’s lots of things you can claim for but many people won’t be aware of that without a support group. “ We were lucky because we had help from the Citizens’ Advice Bureau. They were a great help, but I felt there was a need for a support group.” The DWAVSG aims to help anyone in South and Mid Cheshire, Stoke and the Staffordshire area who have been affected by asbestos-related diseases. It has strong links with local

chest consultants and the cancer specialist nursing team at the respiratory disease unit at Leighton Hospital as well as having contact with other asbestos support groups around the UK. It will also put victims in touch with experts who can help them apply for benefits and compensation. Gill, who will be helped in running the group by her son Stephen Wilson and friend Andrew Wilkinson, said: “My aim is to help other people to get information that they might need”

College’s record enrolment

HANDLEY HILL PRIMARY

Ombudsman to examine closure plans

MID-CHESHIRE COLLEGE MID-CHESHIRE College is celebrating its biggest ever enrolment. More than 1,600 full time students enrolled this month, and the number of full time learners has now grown by more than 60% in five years. Principal John Reilly claimed there are two reasons for the rapid rise. He said: “Staff have worked incredibly hard over the past few years to launch brand new curriculum areas, like performing arts, forensic science and plumbing, all of which have attracted new students to the college. “We are now able to offer training opportunities in almost all vocational areas. “An even more important factor has been the rapid rise in student success rates which has taken place. As the quality of provision has improved, so has the college’s reputation in the community. “Young people now know that if they come to Mid-Cheshire College, they have the best-possible chance of success.”

CLOSING? A final decision on the future of Handley Hill Primary School is imminent. 26JF1342

RECORD NUMBERS: More than 1,600 students have enrolled at Mid-Cheshire College this month - the highest number ever.

THE future of a Winsford school earmarked for closure might not be clear until next month. The local government ombudsman has been called in to examine Cheshire County Council’s plans to shut down Handley Hill Primary School. The investigating officer wrote to Cheshire’s director of children’s services, Joan Feenan, earlier this month, giving the council 28 days to complete a questionnaire about the events leading to the decision to close the school, and the procedures followed. Once her answers are scrutinised a final decision will be made by the ombudsman, bringing to an end the

By Dave Goodban uncertainty which has been hanging over Handley Hill since proposals to shut it were unveiled in June 2007. Cllr Charlie Parkinson, who has fought to keep the school open, said: “It all depends on how quickly Cheshire County Council responds to the questionnaire. We were hoping we’d have an answer by the start of term but now we could be looking at late October or early November. “The school is a great community asset and shouldn’t be let go. But if the decision goes against us then we’ll have to accept it.”

Battling Jacob back at school SIX-YEAR-OLD Kingsmead cancer victim Jacob Marsland has been given a new lease of life after starting at Kingsmead Primary School. In the past 18 months, Jacob managed just three half-days at his old school, Hartford Manor, in between treatments to rid his body of the cancer. Although he is still taking oral medication and needs a feeding tube to help his body receive essential nutrients, he was able to enrol at his new school a fortnight ago with the rest of the newcomers at his new school. And to top it all he is now officially in remission. Jacob’s mum Nicky said: “This time last year we didn’t know whether he would live to see this summer, but since his last treatment he has improved tremendously, and the past few weeks have been just wonderful for him.” Despite the improving picture, fundraising to send Jacob abroad for treatment will continue. The family say they do not know what is in store, especially as the relapse rate for neuroblastoma is 80%. More details can be found at www.jacobmarslandappeal.org

A TRAINEE hairdresser who attacked a love rival in the street has appeared at Vale Royal Youth Court. The 16-year-old girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pushed the 15-year-old complainant into a bush on Mount Pleasant Drive, Davenham on the night of March 4, before punching her in the face. She then denied the offence when interviewed and concocted an alibi, said prosecutor Mairead Neeson at the hearing on Wednesday. “It started over a boy,” said Will Hurley, defending. “But she has grown up considerably since then and wants to get on with her life.” The Northwich teenager was given a three-month referral order.

THREE youngsters had plenty to talk about when they met Vale Royal mayor Councillor Malcolm Gaskill. Jacob McClellan from Winsford, Harry Pickup from Hartford and Rebecca Bodenham from Frodsham, were there to recount their adventures after receiving sponsorship through the council’s Gold Star scheme. Jacob, 15, went to Svalbard, Norway, with the British Schools Exploration Society in July. The expedition had a number of scientific and geographical aims, including research

into the effects of climate change through the measurement of glaciers. Harry, 12, was the youngest player in the Great Britain Cadets baseball team for the European Qualifier Tournament in June. Harry flew to Antalya, Turkey, to compete. Great Britain came second in the tournament, the best result GB have ever had in the championships since it began. Rebecca, 21, was awarded the sponsorship to help her embark on a safari conservation expedition to South Africa with Operation Wallacea.

The Mayor said: “It was great to chat to Rebecca, Jacob and Harry about their trips and I am delighted the Council could help in a small financial way towards them. I want to wish them all the best in the future.” The Gold Star Sponsorship Scheme forms are available from the Public Relations Officer, Vale Royal Borough Council, Wyvern House, The Drumber, Winsford, Cheshire, CW7 1 AH, email julia.thorley@valeroyal.gov.uk or phone 01606 867512.

Centre honour for hero James?

UNDER CONSTRUCTION: Cllr John Grimshaw at the site of the £10.8m centre. TOWN councillors are urging residents to get behind a bid to name Winsford’s £10.8m lifestyle centre after a hometown war hero. Winsford Town Council wants to honour RSM James Clarke, the first and only person from Mid Cheshire to be awarded the Victoria Cross, for his acts of bravery in the First World War. It wants to name the facility The James Clarke VC Centre, as opposed to Vale Royal Borough Council’s suggestion of Winsford Lifestyle Centre. Regimental Sergeant Major Clarke was born in 1894 and joined the Lancashire Fusiliers in 1915 on the Western Front. In November 1918, he was awarded the VC. Town clerk Alan Warburton said: “We feel it is a wonderful opportunity to name the new centre after him – to honour a local person who has achieved something unique for Winsford.” Vale Royal’s executive group last week agreed to hold ta four-week public consultation. Residents can air their views via the borough council’s website. Town mayor Des Worthington said: “We should name it after someone who came from Winsford and bravely fought for this country.”

Gallant sergeant town’s only VC WINSFORD-BORN James Clarke was awarded the VC for his heroic deeds at Happegarbes on November 2-4, 1918. His citation tells that on being held up by heavy fire, he rushed forward, captured four machineguns, and singlehandedly bayoneted the crews. He then led remnants of his platoon to the capture of three more machineguns and many prisoners. Later he led a successful tank attack against

more enemy machine-guns. On the following day, after capturing many prisoners and skilfully held up the enemy. On November 4, under heavy fire from a canal bank, he rushed forward with a Lewis-gun team and effectively silenced the enemy’s fire. The citation concludes: “ Sgt Clarke acted with magnificent bravery and total disregard of personal safety, and by his gallantry and high sense of duty set an inspiring example to all ranks.”

Help for an iconic bird WILDLIFE rangers from the Forestry Commission’s Delamere Forest Park have teamed up with the Mid Cheshire Barn Owl Conservation Group to help protect one of the country’s most iconic birds. Britain’s barn owl population has been in decline over the last 100 years due partly to the loss of hunting habitat, nesting sites and persecution. The RSPB estimates that there are now only around 4,400 pairs left living wild in the UK, which are all protected by law. The Forestry Commission and the Mid Cheshire Barn Owl Conservation Group have stepped in to offer a helping hand by installing a series of barn owl nest boxes at Delamere Forest to make up for the lack of natural breeding sites. There is already evidence that at least one of the tree top hideaways has attracted some neighbouring barn owls. As well as sightings, the tell tale signs of resident barn owls are their pellets, which are often found under perches and roost sites. Pellets are the regurgitated parts of small mammals and insects that are indigestible.

THE funeral has taken place of Jean Hatton, 73, of Ennerdale Close, Winsford, who passed away in hospital on August 23.

Jean was born in Winsford where she married Sidney Hatton in 1954. Together they had four children, Keith, Glenn, Wendy and David. She will be sadly miss by all. Family and friends attended the service before committal at Crewe Crematorium, conducted by the Rev Brian Peace. Donations to support the British Heart Foundation were received.

ANTROBUS WI ■ AT the September meeting president, Sue Whiston, welcomed new member Celia Hooper and visitor, Mary Hazelhurst. Birthday flowers were presented to Georgina and kept for Jenny and Rita who were absent from the meeting. A minute’s silence was held for Gloria Billington who passed away recently, our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. Thanks were given to all members who helped on Federation Bowls Day, with special thanks to Enid Cheshire for undertaking all the bowling arrangements for Cheshire Federation. A pleasing profit was achieved on our refreshments - all expenses to the treasurer by September 30 as accounts will be due soon. The 2009 Antrobus Village Show will be hosted by the WI, suggestions to Jane Schofield. The Group Meeting wil be at Whitley on October 9 at 7.30pm, £3, the speaker will be Paul Whittaker on Music and the Deaf. Decision and bylaws were issued for consideration at the November meeting (only members present at the AGM may vote, no proxy votes will be accepted). Members stepping down are: Carol Brocklehurst – programme secretary; Enid Justin, Nancy Norris – committee members; Sue Whiston – president; Jean Bennett will continue as treasurer until the end of 2009. The November raffle proceeds will go to ACWW. The minutes of the meetings for July and August were read by secretary, Margaret McDonald. There followed an entertaining

and educational talk by Matthew Lepp on the making of soap and bathing through the ages - we were shown how to make a bathbomb, how to colour and perfume some basic soaps, and above all to appreciate the range and choice we have at our disposal today! He was thanked by the speaker hostess Anne Warburton. Tea hostesses were June Quayle and Margaret Dickins. The next meeting will be on October 14 at 7.30pm when the speaker will be William Geldart on The Life of the Illustrator. This will be an open meeting. Visitors will be most welcome.

CUDDINGTON & SANDIWAY WI ■ MEMBERS were privileged to hear a talk by Penny Dean. Penny makes no bones about the fact that she is a dwarf and her mission in life is to educate the world to accept with tolerance and understanding all people with her condition. Brimming with personality and confidence, Penny told of her early life, her bullying at secondary school and salvation when she met her husband Arthur, of similar stature, who worked in a circus. After five years in show business, they took conventional jobs to raise a family. They had three children, two of them adopted, all with the same condition and now with successful careers. Penny said the key is accepting who you are and getting together with others to campaign for inclusion in society. She now works as an adoption counsellor and was a founder member of the Restricted Growth Association charity, a counselling and support group. Penny’s husband set up the Dwarf Athletic Association in the UK. Perhaps the ultimate sign of their success is Eleanor Simmonds winning the swimming Gold Medal at the Paralympics this week. Penny was warmly applauded and thanked for her moving and at the same time entertaining talk. The meeting was chaired by President, Margaret Dooley, who welcomed three visitors. Names were taken for trips to Fryers Nursery and Tatton Park at Christmas. Social Time was devoted to a game of charades which caused much hilarity, especially acting out Kung Fu Panda. Next meeting will be on October 14 at St.John’s Church Hall, Norley Road. New members always welcome. Please ring 01606 888446 for further information.

■ THE September meeting was taken by president Jean Hitchen and began with the singing of Jerusalem, and apologises, yes there were lots some still on holiday or working, this left other members wondering where the summer had gone since the hall now had to be illuminated. Minutes of the previous meeting where read and approved. A small amount of correspondence had been received. The last of the bowls evenings had taken place and now the darts players are practising for the group darts match to be held at Bunbury later in the month. A sure sign that autumn is just a round the corner is the taking of names for the annual hot pot in October. A trip to the Cheshire Police Museum at Warrington will take place later in the month. Designs for a new WI tablecloth will discussed at a later meeting and members are to submit designs. The speaker for the evening Helen Beech gave an illustrated talk entitled Dashing Away with a Smoothing Iron she explained about the making of soap and the drying fields in each village, this in turn gave way to communal wash houses in urban areas where both washing and drying took place. These gathering places are were women not doubt discussed local events and gossip when very few people could read and write. Many members could remember dolly tubs and had some amusing tales to tell over wash day events as children. Alas times have moved on and most homes have the use of an automatic washing machine with no need to stand at the brook rubbing garments with stones and hoping for fine weather. Ironing is now easy with electric/steam irons or even steam machines. Helen had brought along some examples of flat irons and pictures of how they had changed over the years. Looking back to not that long ago we had no need to public gyms each home had one on washday and everyday with the amount of manual labour used doing basic everyday chores. Tea and cakes followed the talk. Non members are welcome to come along to any of our meetings. More details on activities can be obtained from 01270 528367.

I THINK Mike Hall MP is being petty with his comments about the Tories and CCTV. We are now paying for all kinds of police special constables, community, ordinary police, safety wardens, CCTV operatives, some council employees and hundreds of cameras and nothing has improved much, it is no wonder the Council Tax has gone up 100% in the last 10 years. People on a small private pension have been made worse off under this government. They get £200 a year heating allowance and in return they pay hundreds of pounds extra in Council Tax and all the other taxes imposed by this government. Now they are going to introduce a law which will give people from ethnic backgrounds preference in employment. If you are a white British-born person you will be discriminated against because of your background and colour. Mr Hall talks about young people, if only the Government had spent some of the millions of pounds they have wasted on building centres where young people could meet then maybe we would have less crime. I think politicians should take a good look at themselves, most employ family so they can make full use of expenses. They can buy a second home on mortgage, we pay for that and when they sell all the profit goes to the MP. They can buy a new kitchen and LCD television, they have one of the best pensions in the world which was recently given a cash injection thanks to the taxpayer and yet they have taken £55 billion out of your pension the last 11 years. They removed the 10p tax rate from poor people then borrowed £2.7 billion to repay the money you lost. All this from a government about to hit the buffers. Mogger (name and address supplied).

Use common sense

HERE we go again. We have problems with youth crime and Mr Hall, our local MP, suggests more snooping cameras and more snooping welfare officers to blight our lives. In complete contrast, Mr Ellis of the BNP suggests giving the police

WATCHING OUT: Weaver Vale MP Mike Hall (inset) believes CCTV cameras have helped to cut crime. the authority to give an impudent youth a clip around the ear if they swear or threaten police officers, so they can do their job without intimidation. Why is it that the main political parties are so out of touch with reality, while the party that normally gets demonised comes up with the sensible ideas? Ms Susan Porter, Manor Street, Northwich.

Heated problem

KEEP the home fires burning was a popular wartime song, yet even today many senior citizens face the prospects of a bleak winter as fuel bills rocket and the price of food soars, for many their home fire will be more a necessity than comfort. A government leaflet may say keep warm and drink hot drinks but even a kettle of water costs money to boil. The winter fuel allowance is a Godsend to many, yet may only pay one quarter’s fuel bill. A phone is a lifeline and for a person with poor eyesight or arthritis a mobile phone is useless, so to class a telephone as not a necessity is not true. Many working men and women voted for a trusted Labour Party, that stood firm against the tyrannical

employers of yesteryear, a party that was founded on the Christian nonconformists movement, the last political party the workers thought would betray faith, marriage and family stability and give us hell on earth. Now, the once-champions of the masses flounders in its own immoral lawful quagmire of its own creating. Most of us senior citizens were never feckless with our wages, nor do we want pity, just a low price for fuel without tax. We have worked hard for our nation, not lived off others, just to keep warm is that too much to ask? Mr K N Harvison, Northwich.

Unsayable truth

ONCE again it is the BNP representative who has hit the nail on the head, and uttered the unsayable truth. Youth delinquency is primarily caused by family breakdown and a lack of discipline at home (single parent or otherwise), so disciplining the adults (the police officer), rather than the children, is utterly counterproductive.

Man is jailed for attacking officer A THUG who assaulted a police officer and pushed a pregnant woman over as he fled from security guards has been jailed for eight weeks. Lee John Jones, 22, told police getting sent down was “worth it to do in a bobby”. On Friday, Vale Royal Magistrates Court heard he had “27 sets of previous convictions for 74 individual offences”. Prosecutor John Wilson said that in the early hours of April 21 Jones, of Sycamore Avenue, Winsford, was approached by an officer who suspected he was the same man he had earlier spotted trespassing on the Travis Perkins site on Woodford Lane West, Winsford. Mr Wilson said Jones “immedi-

ately became aggressive and confrontational”, and in the ensuing struggle hit the arresting sergeant twice on the head. Three back-up officers were called and Jones was eventually restrained with handcuffs, and straps on his knees and ankles. During the altercation Jones said: “When I see you round town I’m going to punch you so hard it’ll smash your jaw, so they won’t recognise you. I don’t care if I have to do time, it’ll be worth it to do in a bobby.” Magistrates then heard that on July 13 Jones stole a computer game from Winsford’s Asda store and then barged a heavily pregnant woman over as he fled. At Friday’s hearing he pleaded guilty to the two charges.

Workshop for young actors BUDDING actors and actresses in Mid Cheshire can now hone their skills in a series of workshops led by Winsford starlet Amelia Sefton.

They judged that 'Ruskin is a good school, with good quality teaching, learning and achievement.' The report highlights many areas of success for the school, stating that, 'A significant feature is the sense of community shared and celebrated by all who are connected with the school.' Care, guidance and support are judged to be 'outstanding' by the Inspectors, with 'the excellent House system…at the heart of a pastoral provision geared to meet and support the needs of the individual.' A further 'outstanding' grade was given for 'the school's commitment to equal opportunities and supporting all students so they achieve well.' The report goes on to say that, 'Particularly notable are the strong friendships that exist between students from the many different cultures' and 'Racial harmony prevails throughout the school community.' The Inspectors found that 'the curriculum is good, and the range of extra-curricular activities is excellent.' Headteacher Phil Mottershead said: 'I am delighted with the report. To be judged a good school overall, rather than just being satisfactory, is an achievement in itself, as the bar has been raised significantly higher since our last inspection in 2004.' Ruskin is therefore a school in which you can have confidence to do the very best for your child. Why not come and see for yourself at our Open Evening? We look forward to meeting you when you can see at first hand all we have to offer.

be missed so it’s best to make an early start. A good place to begin is the web, where you will find details of all the schools in your area. You can also contact your local authority for a list of local schools. When you have the list, there are different ways of finding out information about them. You can arrange a visit, read the schools’ most recent Ofsted reports and read the local authority’s and schools’ prospectuses. Once you have established a list of preferred choices, you can apply for places. But before submitting an application, you should read the school’s admission criteria, as different schools have different criteria. If the school you’re interested in is popular, the admissions criteria will give you a realistic idea of your child’s chances of getting a place there. The admissions criteria applies in the autumn term, a year before your child is due to start, and there are important dates by which you need to submit your application. The dates vary between local authorities so it’s best to check with your own authority and send off your form or apply online in plenty of time. You may jeopardise your application if you miss the deadline. If your child does not get a place at the school you prefer, you have a legal right to appeal. You will find details of how to make an appeal in the local authority’s admission letter outlining your offer. The letter will also specify a deadline that you must meet if you want to appeal. You may also be able to submit your appeal online. If your child has not been allocated a school place, you will need to contact the admissions team at your local authority so they can let you know which schools have places available.

New scheme to help children in danger of failing in three Rs

he Government is to redouble its efforts to raise standards for the one in five of 11-year-olds who fail to reach the expected level in literacy and numeracy at Key Stage 2, using cutting edge intensive catch up programmes.

Children’s Secretary Ed Balls has said that he will extend nationally groundbreaking schemes to help children in danger of falling behind in reading, writing and maths. In a letter to headteachers, Mr Balls said: “I know that like me, you will want to make sure that teaching of mathematics, reading and writing extends and excites all pupils and enables them to achieve the most of which they are capable. “We will continue to encourage effective phonics-based teaching of early reading, and we have introduced new ‘Support for Writing’ materials. We also want to help you to give children extra help early on if they are in danger of slipping behind, so to do this, we are extending Every Child A Reader, and introducing Every Child A Writer and Every Child Counts.” While the Government has halved the number of those failing to reach

Chronicle September 17,2008 2008 TheChronicle September,

the expected levels since 1997, when about six in 10 achieved the expected levels in English and maths, effort now needs to be focused on the remaining 20%, with early intervention at five, six, seven and eight for more than 100,000 children a year by 2011, who need oneto-one tuition so they are ready for secondary school. Groundbreaking programmes providing one-to-one tuition to children in danger of falling behind in writing and maths are being launched by Children’s Secretary Ed Balls this month, which the Government believes could put this country at the international cutting edge in boosting attainment in the three Rs. Mr Balls believes that while there have been unprecedented improvements in primary literacy and numeracy rates over the last decade, more needs to be done to raise the bar over the next decade. Intervening early is crucial to stop children falling behind, which can seriously handicap their whole education and working lives. The Government is investing £169m on these innovative programmes over the next three years. About 23,500 children will be covered by all programmes this month rising to more than 100,000 by 2011.

school vending machines – but the new standards will specify the maximum (fat, saturated fat, sugar, salt) and minimum (carbohydrate, protein, fibre, vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, calcium, iron, zinc) nutrient value of an average school lunch. The standards will be statutory for secondary schools in England from September 2009. Children, Schools and Families Secretary of State, Ed Balls, said the nutrient standards were a vital step in fighting childhood obesity. But he urged schools to make tucking into school lunch more enjoyable for children starting this term – particularly in secondaries. He warned that 11-year-olds might be put off eating healthy dinners and miss out on the benefits of healthy food, unless there is a proper lunch culture and they are treated like proper paying customers. Mr Balls pointed to experience of the best schools, where simple, straightforward steps can combat the historical drop-off and raise take up. These include: l staggering lunch breaks, using swipe card systems or letting pupils pre-book lunches online to cut queues l younger children eating separately from older pupils; strong stay-on-site policies, if heads choose to use them l replacing ugly, plastic compartmentalised food trays, with proper china and cutlery l actively marketing healthy lunches to families; and l involving young people in drawing up menus. Provisional figures from the 2008 school lunch take-up survey, published by the School Food Trust and Local Authority Caterers’ Association in July, showed the corner has finally been turned on school dinners. It showed that more than three million children are eating school dinners daily – an increase of around 50,000 extra pupils over last year; a two percentage points rise to 43% in primary schools, while take up in secondary schools has now levelled out, after a steep fall, at 37%. The final figures will be published in the next few weeks. Mr Balls added: “School catering staff and teachers are doing some fantastic work. July’s provisional take-up survey figures showed we are finally turning the corner – as all the experts accept, including Jamie Oliver. “School catering is a really tough job and a culture change in schools and wider society of this size doesn’t simply happen overnight. I understand schools’ concerns about the time, effort and cost that introducing healthy lunches take. “But the bottom line is six out of 10 secondary pupils are still not eating school dinners. Schools, parents, children and Government need to tackle obesity together and we make no apologies for introducing tough nutrient standards. “Moving to secondary school is a big moment in anyone’s life. Many children, who eat healthy lunches at primary school, stop when they go to senior school – put off by long lunch queues; unpopular menus; or having to eat in the same room as teenagers six or seven years older then them. The fact is that children are not going to eat lunch at school if none of their friends are. “The best way of keeping 11-year-olds eating at school is to treat them like the proper paying customers they are. “Lunch should be a social occasion and children need a good dining experience in their first few weeks of secondary school or else they may never come back. “Hundreds of schools are already leading the way in this – it is not rocket science to give them time and space to eat; involve them in drawing up menus; and market school food properly to families.” School Food Trust chairman, Prue Leith, said: We have begun the final steps in radically changing school food. Over-fatty, salty, or sugary are gone, replaced by nutritious and delicious meals. This is an essential step in ensuring that all children, no matter what their background, can have a hot healthy meal.”

s taking your children to the dentist a painful experience in more ways than one? Does the fear factor mean that check-ups have become a lot less regular than they should?

Children’s oral health care is vitally important, however, it is a common misconception among parents that because milk teeth fall out, brushing them isn’t essential. “Not good news,” says Dr Steve Mulcahy, Denplan dentist at Riverside Dental Practice, “as research shows that kids with poor dental health are likely to develop poor general health as adults, such as diabetes and heart disease.” A healthy diet and brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste for two minutes is essential to help keep teeth and the rest of the mouth in good shape. It also helps to avoid the early development of complications such as gum disease. “Almost everyone suffers from gum disease at some point in their lives, but it is totally preventable, and a good oral healthcare routine can easily prevent it from developing into something more serious.” Dr Mulcahy also recommends regular check-ups from a young age, not only to keep children’s teeth in good condition but also to instil the message of preventive care from childhood – get them in good habits now. For many parents, however, this is easier said than done, and visiting the dentist with a child who is afraid or uncomfortable can be a nightmare. For many, the trauma involved means that they simply don’t go. Dr Mulcahy has some useful hints and tips on visiting the dentist with your children and how to make it as painless as possible: Take your children from as young an

age as possible so they are familiar with the sounds, sights and smells before they even have to sit in the chair. Where possible, keep the same dentist for your children – it provides familiarity and security. The fear is often that they have no control over what the dentist is doing. Let the dentist know that when the child’s hand goes up, all work stops. Ask your dentist to show the children around the room and the equipment before their appointment to help familiarise them and demystify the whole procedure. Remember, teeth grow healthy, so there’s no substitute for a regular brushing routine and a healthy diet to keep them healthy. Avoid snacking, sugary foods and fizzy drinks. We’ve also talked to Dr Angharad Rudkin, a chartered clinical psychologist who works with children and families. She recommends the following five things to try to keep your child calm at the dentist: l Children cope much better with events that are predictable and familiar. Make going to the dentist part of a family routine – make a day of it and involve everyone in the family. l Even if you are dreading going to the dentist yourself, try not to let your children know this as they will quickly learn that there is something to fear. l Time one another’s appointments or count how many teeth you all have while in the waiting room. l There are plenty of books about children going to the dentist – these can help them to talk about their anxieties as well as allowing them to find out more about what dentists do. l We are all more likely to do something if it’s followed by a nice consequence. Talk beforehand about what this treat will be, eg, a visit to the toy shop, an extra hour on the computer – just not a sugary treat.

Winning logo features links to area’s history THE new Cheshire West and Chester Council has a smart new logo. The logo, selected following a competition, was devised by Chester City Council designer Chris Hughes. His winning design was unveiled at a meeting of the shadow council’s Executive at County Hall on Wednesday evening. A previous meeting failed to agree on a logo from a number of alternatives which had been drawn up, leading to the competition. Executive member for customer services, Cllr Myles Hogg (Con, Ledsham & Willaston) said more than 30 designs had been put forward by individuals, groups and organisations. Some were innovative and others more traditional although all met the council’s aims to be seen as dynamic and forward looking among other values.

FIRST CHOICE: Cllr Myles Hogg, customer services portfolio holder, with the winning logo. “I believe this is a very acceptable logo,” Cllr Hogg told the executive, strongly recommending that it should be adopted. He said the design was “clearly favoured” by council staff although the results of

public consultation carried out by the shadow authority on the four short-listed designs had been “a near tie”. Mr Hughes’s idea includes a golden lion, golden wheatsheaf and royal blue motifs which feature on the armorial bearings of each of the four councils which will become the new authority. The three wheatsheaves symbolise Vale Royal, Chester and Ellesmere Port and Neston while the shield represents Cheshire. A blue wave represents the maritime importance of Cheshire West and Chester and its strong industrial heritage while the typeface communicates elegance and heritage. Cllr Hogg says £250,000 has been allocated for branding changes for the new authority, of which the new logo is a key part. Mr Hughes has won himself £500 for his winning design.

Police urge residents to shop the vandals NORTHWICH police want residents to help keep vandals at bay after a recent upsurge in “mindless” criminal damage to cars and private property. Sgt Jim Plumb, of Northwich’s Neighbourhood Policing Unit, said a number

of outbuildings and sheds have been broken into in and around the town, and cars and other vehicles have also been targeted by yobs. “There’s no real pattern to it, it’s just mindless, nuisance damage,” said Sgt Plumb. “If anyone knows

someone who is causing damage or breaking into other people’s property, they should get in touch with us.” Sgt Plumb also said those steal property from garden shed and garages always leave a trail, and wants people to shop them.

Fears as troubled corner shop licence changes hands again THE saga of a much-maligned Winsford corner shop took another twist this week when the leaseholder walked away less than five months after taking over. Neil Burke has relinquished his duties at Olivers, and Manchester-based businessman Mohammed Rizwan has taken over as Designated Premises Supervisor. The shop, on the corner of Siddorn Street and High Street, has often been blamed for boozefuelled vandalism and anti-social behaviour in the area. Things got better for residents when the shop was banned from selling booze under previous leaseholders after a Crown Court hearing in February. And trouble had been almost non-existent since Mr Burke took over in April after he agreed strict conditions with police to permit the sale of alcohol. But neighbours have expressed fears the problems which used to blight the area are returning. One said: “We don’t think they should carry on selling alcohol after all the problems.” Vale Royal Borough Council’s licensing manager, Andy Challinor said: “It’s just a transfer of the licence. The police can still object within 14 days, but only the police.”

Timeless tale of rivalry and love takes to stage

LEGENDARY musical West Side Story is on its way to The Lowry at Salford Quays later this month. The show has become one of the greatest musicals ever produced and the 50th anniversary version directed and choreographed by Joey McKneely comes direct from London and sell-out successes in Paris, Tokyo and Beijing. Alongside the stage musical, and the 1961 film version, which won ten Academy Awards, the original creative team of West Side Story have gained legendary status. The groundbreaking choreography by Jerome Robbins, book by Arthur Laurents, and the unforgettable score by Leonard Bernstein with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, dealt with dark themes and marked a turning point in musical theatre. Based on Romeo and Juliet and focusing on social issues, the extended dance scenes, and the unforgettable songs, including ‘Maria’, ‘Tonight’, ‘Somewhere’, ‘America’, and ‘I Feel Pretty’, have become treasured the world over. Set on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, West Side Story explores the rivalry between two teenage gangs; one white, the other Puerto Rican.

Explosive line-up

COLOURFUL headliners Suzi:Won will be supported by local five-piece Codette and Cheshire’s own Drive Til Dawn! at The Box in Crewe on Friday. Geordie five-piece Suzi:Won are on the verge of breakthrough to the mainstream industry.

Local five-piece Drive Til Dawn! open proceedings with some emo-tinged indie-rock. Doors open at 8pm on Friday and entry is £3. For details, call 01270 257398.

Manager Ros Bell, said: “Comedy Central is committed to offering the people of Liverpool the best and most comprehensive experience of comedy throughout the week. “Our Thursday nights will offer two comedians from our weekend line-up and two newer acts whom we believe have a strong future. “It’s the same high standard of comedy that audiences have come to expect from Comedy Central, at a lower price than the weekend shows. “Everyone is welcome. If you want the inside scoop on who is up and coming in the comedy world, then Thursdays at Comedy Central is where you need to be.” Tickets on Thursdays are £8, with food deals available – £16 for a ticket and one course, and £25 two courses.

Feeder a music coup for town

WELSH giants Feeder should attract a sell-out crowd when they visit The M Club in Crewe later this month. The date is a musical coup for the town as the High Street venue works closely with the MMU Cheshire campus in Crewe to deliver major acts for the town’s growing student population. The gig on Tuesday, September 30, is a ‘secret’ warm-up show before they head off for a tour of Japan. M Club owner Chris McGar-

By Will Harris

rigle says: “We keep surpassing ourselves. Hopefully, this is first of regular big nights at The M Club. “We have built some bridges with MMU and we are keen to give student real options of where to go out and enjoy themselves. “MMU realise that it’s important that Crewe becomes an attractive prospect for students and that everyone in the town works together.”

Formed in 1992, Feeder burst on to the mainstream scene in 2001. Up to now they have released eight albums, including a ‘Best Of ’ and a ‘B-side’ album, and have scored top 10 hits with tracks such as Just The Way I’m Feeling and Tumble And Fall. Feeder play The M Club on Tuesday, September 30. Tickets are £22.50, or £20 with student ID. To book phone 01270 216785 or visit www.themclub.co.uk.

Chronicle September 17, SOUTHERN hemisphere humour is offered at the Limelight Comedy Club in Crewe tomorrow (Thursday) courtesy of headliner Al

Pitcher. The New Zealand-born funnyman, famous as the voice of the Fosters TV adverts, makes his debut at the Hightown venue with an hour-long show, and promises to reduce the audience to tears with his playful interactive antics that have seen him tour all over the world. Support comes from ‘So You Think You’re Funny’ competition finalist Charlie Baker, whose mixture of stupid jokes, hilarious observations and musical expertise have left their mark on audiences nationwide. Resident compere Toby Hadoke makes his much heralded return following a national solo tour and run in London’s West End. Promoter Jon Mitchell says: “It’s great that due to the popularity of the club we can now bring top talent from around the world to Crewe. Al Pitcher is known in comedy circles as one of the best at working an audience and we can’t wait to see him in action.” ■ The laughs begin at 8.30pmand tickets are £5, available on the door in advance by phoning 01270 251929 or visiting www.limelightcomedy.co.uk. The next Banned in Northwich gig takes place at Winnington Rec on Friday with Manchester outfit Life Among People in the headline slot. LAP mix weighty musical intelligence with social awareness and, armed with a broad palette, defy pigeonholing while wielding an undeniable power high on energy. Support comes from local heroes Helsinki Seven, an alternative rock band with 16 months of touring experience behind them. The band packs a unique and powerful sound and has been likened to Foo Fighters, Biffy Clyro, Lost Prophets, Refused and the Get Up Kids. Opening the night are Calvinball, a four-piece pop punk band from Sheffield. Doors open at 8.00pm, and entry is £4.50.

Bill star Mark on the Lyceum beat

’ELLO ’ELLO ’ELLO: Mark Wingett (left) with Barry Howard, comes to Crewe’s Lyceum Theatre in the farce Run For Your Wife.

By Will Harris

FORMER The Bill actor Mark Wingett has done more time than the crooks he put behind bars in the ITV serial drama. The 47-year-old spent 21 years playing troubled Jim Carver with his fellow boys in blue and was one of the remaining original cast members from when the programme first aired in 1984. He appears at Crewe’s Lyceum Theatre next week in the Ian Dickens’ production of Ray Cooney’s Run For Your Wife, alongside a cast boasting household names such as Melvyn Heyes, Barry Howard and Paul Henry. He says he’s looking forward to the week-long stint. “It’s my first time in Crewe. It can’t be any worse than Blackpool can it?”, he jokes. “It’s going very well actually. Different audiences around the country laugh at different parts of the play. So we’ve reached the point where we can adjust the pace of it in certain places. “A farce is a very difficult thing to do. The audience really needs to buy into it for the suspension of disbelief. I suppose it’s a lot like a panto audience really.”

Wingett also plays a police officer in Run For Your Wife, a man whom he describes as a stickler for the rules and who tries to get to the bottom of matters but can’t quite manage it. He says: “Yes, it’s a copper again, but it’s a totally different end of the scale to Jim Carver. “I quite enjoyed the alcoholism in The Bill and the drugs actually. I stopped drinking 15 years ago so it was great to re-visit it and do the drunken behaviour and not have to deal with the consequences. Wingett left The Bill in 2004 after 21 years and 784 episodes in search for fresh roles. He has since appeared on television in small doses in Heartbeat and EastEnders. Apart from further theatre work, future projects include playing a radio host in new

afternoon drama Missing alongside Pauline Quirke. And he hasn’t ruled out a return to films, after making a name for himself in showbusiness as a reckless mod way back in 1979 cult classic Quadrophenia. He adds: “It all depends on the parts. If you knew you were going to play some fantastic parts in theatre shows I think you would go for that every time. “But any actor will tell you they want to be a film star.” ■ Run For Your Wife runs at the Lyceum Theatre from Monday until Saturday, September 27. Shows start at 7.30pm with a 2.30pm Saturday matinee performance. Tickets are priced £8.50-£16.50, phone the box office on 01270 537333 or visit www.lyceumtheatre.net.

POPULAR tribute band Magic - A Kind Of Queen return to the Victoria Hall in Hanley on Friday. The group formed in 1974 at a time when Queen were reaching the height of their popularity, starting out covering The Beach Boys, The Four Seasons and ELO. They soon introduced the music of Freddie Mercury and Co, and have since built a reputation that has seen them travel worldwide. Theatre spokeswoman Victoria Power explains: “There is no attempt to emulate Queen visually in their concert, but rather to celebrate the music of one of the greatest bands of all time by performing it superbly, live, and better than anyone else.” ■ The show starts at 7.30pm on Friday. Tickets are £12.50-£15, phone the box office on 0870 060 6649.

THEY WILL ROCK YOU: Magic – A Kind Of Queen play at the Victoria Hall in AHnley on Friday. PSYCHOLOGICAL intrigue will invade the minds of New Vic audiences at Newcastle-under-Lyme from next week in J B Priestley’s classic play Dangerous Corner. Set in the 1930s, the plot sees high-flying couple Freda and Robert Caplan hosting a dinner party for close friends and colleagues at their stylish country house. But, as the after-dinner brandy is poured, a chance remark turns their carefree conversation in an altogether more sinister direction. Dangerous Corner was published in 1932 and was Priestley’s first play, establishing him as a dramatist as well as a successful critic and author. ■ It runs from Friday, September 26, until Saturday, October 18.

SPONSORS MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE FOR CHARITY EVENT Somerford Park’s annual equestrian event this weekend (Sept 20-21) is on course to raise vital funds for the North West Air Ambulance (NWAA) thanks to support from local businesses, including Crewe Volkswagen. The popular Horse Trials is hoping the fifth annual running of the event will generate record support for the charity. Crewe Volkswagen is a main sponsor and as well as providing money, the Weston Road retailer is running competitions at this year’s event. Among the prizes on offer include a day with top British show-jumper, Nick Skelton. The NWAA covers all major motorway incidents, and areas that have poor and restricted road access, including many areas of Cheshire. North West Air Ambulance’s fundraising officer, Emily Taylor, said: “We’re grateful to everyone involved in raising funds to keep the helicopter operational.” “It takes over £1.9 million a year to maintain the service so every penny counts.” Somerford Park’s co-owner, Simon King, said: “The air ambulance is a vital service for the north west and we’re pleased to be able to help raise money.” “But we wouldn’t be able to do it without sponsorship and we’re grateful to Crewe Volkswagen for their support.” The two-day event attracts over 600 competitors from across the region to compete in dressage, show jumping and cross country in the 600 acres of Somerford Park.

Guests and competitors are advised to arrive early on both days as three thousand people are expected over the weekend.

Shot-shy Vics still make point Football - Blue Square Premier

FA Cup Bamber Bridge 1 Witton Albion 2

Northwich Vics 0 Forest Green Rovers 0 NORTHWICH Vics failed to break down Forest Green’s 10 men but a clean sheet and a point at least lifted them off the Blue Square Premier bottom on Saturday.

Rovers’ numbers were reduced in the 36th minute when the appropriately sounding Lee Fowler was dismissed for violent conduct, leading with his elbow when challenging Danny Williams. Despite the advantage Vics struggled to produce a worthwhile attack and only Jonny Allan looked dangerous. His efforts, however, were either off target or held by flawless goalkeeper Ryan Robinson. When he turned crafty supplier Darryn Stamp blazed an excellent chance over the bar. Vics were beaten in terms of shots. Though Rovers generally lacked purpose they still brought a couple of good saves from Scott Tynan and surprisingly finished the stronger. They had five attempts in the last 10 minutes, one of which, from Les Afful, was blocked by man-of-the-match Simon Grand. He looked an excellent signing, a defender to impose himself on the opposition, but now new recruits might be needed to inject life into the attack. More worrying still was the home support, which dipped below 600 and was about half that of the season’s opening day only five weeks earlier. Northwich: Tynan; Aspin, Roberts, Grand, Brown; Williams (Byrne 75), Crowell, Carr (Barratt 70), Flynn; Stamp, Allan (P Marsh 81). Attendance: 603 Match Rating: 4/10.

Albion battle to next round

WITTON had to hang on to their FA Cup success in the preliminary round on Saturday. When they needed breathing space they twice hit the crossbar and for the last 10 minutes came under mounting pressure. They were relieved by the final whistle, but would have been relaxed and in charge had either of the efforts by Steve Smith and Scott Willis in 67 and 69 minutes been a few inches lower. Albion took the lead in 16 minutes when a Willis free kick was deflected for Lee Thompson to snap up his third goal in three games. He and Steve Smith went close to increasing the lead, but Bridge also kept the Witton defence on its toes with BALL WATCHING: Sean O’Neill their big threat.

Blues in second-half success Atherton Collieries 0 Winsford United 4

UNITED, with most of their injury problems behind them, can look forward again to success. That’s the way it seemed on Saturday when three John Riley crosses ended in goals and Mick McGraa dominated the midfield for the Blues’ best win so far. United repeatedly charged down a sloping pitch, but it was not until after half-time that the Colls’ resistance broke. The second period was only three minutes old when Paul McDonnell was scythed down inside the box. The referee was doubtful, but was persuaded to award a penalty by a linesman and Lee Madin blasted home from the spot. Full back Riley looked classy on the

ROUNDUp Barnton are beaten

FOOTBALL: Barnton slipped a little further down the Cheshire League First Division after being walloped 5-2 at home by likely title challengers Greenall Padgate. Lostock Gralam had no game. Saturday: Two – Lostock v Congleton Res; Cheshire Amateur Cup 1st round – Barnton v Mellor. Both Winnington Avenue teams suffered heavy defeats in the Crewe & District League. The seniors went down 7-1 at Lostock Gralam Reserves, for whom Ben Harrison (2), Mike Clarke, Mike Dale, Mickey Farley, Steve Carter and Jack Bryning hit the mark. Gary Johnson replied Avenue Reserves lost even more heavily by 11-3 at Bentley, their goals coming from Sean Bradley, Aaron Roberts and Luke Wakefield. Saturday’s games include: Sandbach Town v Lostock Res, Tarporley Res v Avenue Res, Avenue v Cuddington. Two goals by Gary Bryning gave Mid Cheshire Sunday League champs Rudheath their first win, against Rifleman, while Weaverham Chapel’s, of Division Two, became the first team into double figures. They netted seven against Three Greyhounds following five the previous week.

Alan powers home

CYCLING: Veteran roadman Alan Kemp signed off for the winter by registering his 24th win of the season on Saturday. He dominated the 44-miler at Swynnerton, Staffs, unleashing his powerful sprint on the uphill finish. His Weaver Valley CC team-mate Mark Thompson was in third place and Andy Poole in the main bunch. Kemp’s record includes two national championships and five wins in the Percy Stallard series. Sunday’s club run leaves Hartford RBL Club at 9.30am and will follow the Manchester Commonwealth Games circuit at Horwich.

Penguins pick gold

SWIMMING: Cheshire Penguins won the team-of-the-tournament cup after topping the clubs at Italian Special Olympics at Sardinia. They won an incredible 21 gold medals to dominate the swimming against teams from six other countries. Winners were Jessica Poyser (3), Jamie Kelly (3), Richard Lewis (2 and bronze), Emma Calvert (3), Kaley Heath (3), Matthew Garry (2 and silver), Gina Hulme (2) and Richard Perris (3).

Keith is the winner

FOOTBALL: Keith Alexander came out on top in the battle of the ex-Northwich Vics managers on Saturday. The Greens boss from 2000-01 led Macclesfield Town to a 1-0 win at Bournemouth, now in the charge of his successor at the Drill Field, Jimmy Quinn.

Coach angry as Sandbach soar back to win Sandbach 24 Northwich 21

NORTHWICH conceded a 21-8 lead to suffer a fourth consecutive defeat at Bradwall Road on Saturday. Displeased new coach Kevin Greaves said: “We should never have given up that kind of margin and I learnt one or two things about my squad.” Northwich had the best of the first half, though they had to manage on scraps as the set pieces fell apart. Losing injured Chris James only caused further disruption to the second row. Sandbach goal kicker Lee Pickles opened the scoring with a 40m penalty and he won the game with a similar long ranger. There were positives for the Blacks, not least the overall back play epitomised by the first try of the season from 18-year-old debutant winger Joel Barber when he collected a clever kick ahead by Matt Bebbington.

Rugby union Bebbington converted from far out but Sandbach winger Tim Jones replied. Further pressure saw Steve Campbell snap up a loose ball to send over Stacey Hosking and Bebbington converted. Adam Bown scored following good work from Jamie Miritana and Campbell but then came the big fightback with two unconverted tries from Jack Leech and Tim Oakes and Pickles’ penalty. The Blacks were awarded an injurytime long-distance penalty but it proved to be outside Bebbington’s range. Saturday: Northwich v Wilmslow. Other scores: Northwich 2nds beat Aldwinians 2nds 34-10 (John Keegan 2, Carl Senior, Elliott Fallon tries; Senior 4 cons, 2 pens); Northwich Colts 24 Fleetwood Colts 13.

Vagabonds (Isle of Man) 34 Winnington Park 25

WINNINGTON made a comeback but they had left themselves too much to do at Douglas on Saturday. They were 24 points down by the break, largely through their own mistakes. Though Ben Elliott trimmed the lead with a penalty, it was increased by another converted try. Park reshuffled their pack after an injury to teenage prop Richard Armstrong, replaced by 20-year-old Matthew Sant, and brought on playercoach Mark Warr to steady the ship. At last they looked as if they wanted to win. The changes brought a new dimension to the game and the home side felt the pressure as Park counterrucked for the first time and kept possession. From the solid build-up play captain Will Burgess scored, quickly followed by a Sant try with Elliot just

missing both conversions. With Park now running everything, hooker Joe Robins made a break in the midfield and from a lineout Dave Cross was taken over by the drive. Elliot this time hit the upright with the conversion attempt. Burgess crashed over for his second try and Rob Garbett crossed the line with three minutes to go, but was adjudged to have knocked on. Forwards coach Paul Dean said: “Forget the nightmare first half, the second half was a fantastic performance. Worth building on.” Other scores: Park 2nds 14 (Phoenix, Belshaw tries; Murdon 2 cons) Sefton 3rds 20; Christleton 17 Park 3rds 43 (Chris Morrison 3, Simon Bytheway, Paul Almond, Greg Walker; Matt Thurlwell 5 cons, pen); Eccles Colts 22 Park Colts 12 (Annells 2 tries; Jolley con). Saturday: 1st home v Widnes.

Winning finale for skipper Yarwood

BARNTON’S retiring skipper Steve Yarwood left the field to a guard of honour after his final game in charge. Yarwood’s seven seasons as captain ended in victory at home to Over Peover and he even struck the winning boundary. Neil Langham brought his tally for the season to 43 wickets with 3-40 and is off to play in Australia for the winter. Paul Coot chipped in 2-25 and Simon Hancock 3-5 as Over Peover were bowled out for 94. Barnton made 98-6 (Ben Wingfield 29). RIGHT MOVE ABROAD COUNTY LEAGUE ECB Premier

Press officer Simon James said: “There was a bouncing atmosphere at the club – no one wanted to go home. “In 2001, when we moved to Moss Farm, we gave ourselves 10 years to get back into the County League and we are now one step away.” Northwich were thrown out because of the perennial decline in playing standards and facilities at Vicarage Road. But they are now the largest of all the Mid Cheshire clubs and the success seems non-stop. They beat Chester County Officers, consigning the visitors to relegation. Matt Jamieson took the winning wicket and was instantly mobbed by his team-mates. The scenes of celebration were similar at Oakmere, who finished runners-up in Division One and replace Winnington Park in the County League Division Two. “It was fantastic,” said spinner Pete Hutchinson. The key to their success was skipper

CHAMPAGNE MOMENT: Dave Price pops the cork on Northwich’s celebrations. Ian Eaton persuading brother Stewart – who captained Oulton Park to the ECB Premiership title three years ago – to enlist in the spring. He has been a matchwinner several times for Oakmere and it was fitting the brothers were at the crease and

scored the runs to take Mid Cheshire’s youngest club out of the Cheshire League for the first time. As Ashley crawled to 155ao Pete Hutchinson took 4-17 and Nick Guest 3-12. Oakmere scored 160-2 with Paul Yearsley (27) and Paul Hutchinson (23)

giving them a good start and Ian (25no) and Stewart (35no) producing the big finish. Northwich scored 130-9 after being 34-5 (John O’Sullivan 40, Dave Price 21) and bowled out the visitors for just 53 (Jamieson 4-14, Stuart Hayes 4-33).

Hosts in baton charge for gold medal glory

VALE Royal AC won 10 of the 36 Cheshire medals on offer when they hosted the North West Relay Championships at Marbury Park on

Saturday. Their U17s team of Hannah Paver, Kathy Stringer and Rebecca Craigie also won the regional title itself.

Athletics

Craigie ran the fastest leg of the day. The counties held their

own championships within the main event and Vale Royal’s other golden runners were the senior women, Under 15s and 13s girls.

Silvers were won by the U15s girls B team and U17s ladies B and bronzes by U13s boys and girls, U17s boys and senior men.

Cons sign off in style to be crowned kings again WHARTON Cons duly wrapped up their 19th Mid Cheshire League title – their first since 2003 – on Friday. And if Castle Private feel second best that is no surprise. They have finished runners-up to Cons in three leagues and the Grenson 4x4 Cup as well, being 150-148 at Moulton on Sunday. Cons finished the league programme with a 241 flourish at Meadow Bank. Their success was matched by the women’s team who snatched the Mid Cheshire Ladies League title away from Castle A with a super show on the last day, scoring 204 at Hazel Pear. Castle are likely runners-up to Cons in both leagues and probably the Norley League too. Red Lion have stopped a clean sweep by winning the Norley Afternoon League, however.

NORTHWICH Vics make their 10th attempt to win this season when they go to Histon on Saturday – and manager Dino Maamria wants to bolster his attack. He wants the option of two more strikers, now that injuries have split the partnership that helped keep them up last season. Lee Steele faces weeks on the sidelines with a leg injury, while Darryn Stamp was clearly hampered by hamstring trouble against Forest Green on Saturday. It was the second time in four home games that Vics had failed to score. Meanwhile, the need for points gets increasingly desperate and, on current form, their trip to Cambridgeshire to meet sixth-placed Histon looks onerous. Far more hopeful is Tuesday’s home match against Barrow (7.45pm). ■ Brian Pritchard is available for Witton on Saturday after three weeks sidelined with an Achilles tendon injury and he joins what is fast becoming a queue of centre halves at Wincham Park. After a successful loan spell from Stalybridge Celtic, Gary Burke has signed on permanently, joining recent acquisition Neil Smith and most recent newcomer Ben Lenders, who has played for Gateshead and Newcastle Blue Star. Meanwhile, Liam Coyne is now free from suspension. Albion host Marine on Saturday (3pm) and absentee new striker Lee Thompson has ankle ligaments trouble. They are at Cheadle in the Cheshire Senior Cup next Wednesday. ■ Winsford United visit Hallam, the second oldest club in the world, in the FA Vase 2nd qualifying round on Saturday. If the tie is drawn the replay will be at Barton Stadium on Tuesday. Otherwise United host Runcorn Linnets in the Cheshire Senior Cup that night (7.45pm). John Couch, David Barnes, Michael Owens, Mike Sawtell, Dean Ennion and Jacob Baptista are all close to recovery from various injuries.

Bowls

■ Nicola Boulton, who earlier this season became the first woman to win the Roberts Handicap Cup, scored a double triumph at Blackpool at the weekend. On Saturday she won the Women’s Talbot Trophy at Raikes Hall, beating Alyson Evans (Bedworth) 21-6 in the final, and topped that performance on Sunday by beating Lynn Pritchett (Chadsmoor) 21-18 to win the Women’s Waterloo. ■ Beech Tree play in their first Cheshire final when they do battle with favourites Altrincham Borough for the Norman Cup at Mere on Saturday (2pm).

lthough many of us may still be dreaming of an Indian summer or perhaps dusting off the sand from those holiday suitcases, now is the best time to book your Christmas meal.

It may only be September, but many restaurants and pubs in the area are already advertising the festive celebrations and some may offer discounts for early reservations. Early booking will pay dividends and ensure that you have a choice of the best venues – at a date and time to suit you. There is a world of choice on your doorstep. And whether you’re arranging a romantic dinner for two, for your extended family or the office bash, Crewe and the surrounding areas boast a wide range of places to please all tastes and, importantly, budgets It makes little difference whether you’re looking for a swish restaurant, a cosy eaterie, club or pub, just follow a few simple guidelines to help the festivities run smoothly. First of all decide where you want to eat and check that the venue is suitable and accessible for people in the party. Check that the establishment caters for vegetarians, after all, not everyone wants to tuck into roast turkey

GIPIFVEXI> Fsso ievp} erh }sy ger psso jsv{evh xs }syv Glvmwxqew tevx}2 with all the trimmings – even if it is Christmas. Check out the cost of the menu. Ensure it fits your budget. Some restaurants offer special deals for large parties at Christmas. Confirm numbers with partners or family members. There’s nothing worse than having to alter the size of the booking, once you’ve made a

reservation. And ask for confirmation of the booking by letter or email. Check out entertainment, if any, and ensure it’s to everyone’s liking – what suits great uncle Harry might not be first choice for the twentysomethings. But most of all, be sure to book early to avoid any disappointment.

e all look forward to Christmas. It’s a magical time of year – but our attempts to make things perfect can often lead us to feeling stressed-out.

The highlight of the season is Christmas lunch, but with so many people to cater for and mountains of food to prepare, it can seem overwhelming. That’s why opting to eat this special meal in one of the area’s restaurants is the ideal solution. If you decide to eat out, get the date – and restaurant – reserved, and also make sure the choice is right. Do not automatically assume that because it is Christmas, every hotel and restaurant will be bursting at the seams with people.

Large hotels which normally bustle with reps and business groups during the year, may be quiet at Christmas. So decide whether it is a busy atmosphere you are after, or a more intimate, cosy setting. Examine the menus – the last thing you may want is turkey and plum pudding. Make sure that there is something to suit everyone, including vegetarians and any children you may have with you. Many restaurants now provide entertainment to keep youngsters absorbed while they are waiting for their meals to arrive. This gives the adults the opportunity to relax and look forward to a stress-free meal. And once the meal is over and everyone is sitting back relaxing, there is an added bonus – no washing up! The perfect Christmas treat.

ost people love to party, especially at Christmas time. Whether it’s the office bash, a huge gathering of work colleagues or a dinner party for close friends, you want it to be a night to remember.

But you want to remember the event for all the right reasons. And if you want to ensure that your party goes with a swing, it may help to follow this 10-point plan. 1. If you are on a tight budget, get the balance right between food and booze. People may prefer to have another predinner drink rather than an extra round of mints and coffee. 2. Try to choose a venue where you can stay in one place – the mood will be lost if you need to trek from dinner to dancing. It is ideal if your venue can arrange entertainment after the meal as this will stop the crowds migrating to the nearest nightclub. However, such venues tend to be the most popular so you will need tobook early. 3. Take a vote before the party on whether partners are invited and what con-

WEJIX] JMVWX> Qeoi wyvi iziv}sri kixw lsqi wejip} ex xli irh sj xli rmklx2 tribution they should make towards festivities if funds are limited. There is bound to be a mixture of singles and couples, so everyone’s feelings should be taken into account. 4. Keep the speeches short. While it is important to thank all the people who count, make sure that you keep the event low-key and relaxed. 5. Introduce some party games to involve the whole team. 6. Remember that not everyone will want loud music or dancing, so make sure that there is a flexible agenda that caters for all tastes and needs and a quieter area where people can escape for a bit of peace and quiet. 7. Have a seating plan. Make sure that everyone mingles. Don’t let the usual suspects

huddle together for the whole evening. A solution could be to arrange a swapping system where people can change places after every course. 8. Research shows that not all age groups enjoy the Christmas party as much as each other. Structure the evening so that people can slip away discreetly after the main meal, without feeling like Scrooge. 9. If you are the boss, then go home early. Allow your team to take advantage of your absence and let their hair down. 10. Make sure that everyone gets home safely. Either arrange transport with the venue first or make sure that your team and colleagues have a local taxi number.

Panto is full of beans

THERE’S a star-studded cast in this year’s colourful panto at the Lyceum Theatre in Crewe. When Jack, his brother, Simon, and his mother, Dame Trott, can’t pay their rent, they are forced to sell their beloved cow Daisy. But, when Jack comes home from the market with some magic beans instead of a bag of gold, the adventure really begins. Follow Jack and his friends on their journey up the beanstalk and into the giant’s

castle where they discover an incredible harp and more glittering riches than they could ever have imagined. All that stands in their way is the evil henchman Flesh creep and Panto-land’s biggest villain – Giant Blunderbore. Will Jack win the heart of the King’s daughter, Princess Tamara? Will the family ever be reunited with their longlost, four-legged friend? This year’s show stars Lynne McGranger (Irene from Home and Away),

Frazer Hines (Emmerdale and Doctor Who), Kerry Newell (Fun Song Factory and Wakey Wakey), Carolynne Good (Fame Academy) and back by popular demand from Brum, Kevin McGreevy. Once again, the Lyceum promises to wave a magic wand over this classic story to bring you the best traditional pantomime in the region. l Jack and the Beanstalk tickets are on sale now.

he Christmas ‘do’ may be traditional – but the sort of party you arrange doesn’t have to

You don’t have to opt for a dinner and dance just because that’s what you have done every other year. These days there are plenty of other options to try. Medieval banquets are a tried and tested way to introduce a themed idea without shocking the uninitiated. This is especially good for a mixed age group. If you have a lot of young and fit partygoers why not try a salsa party? It is possible to book a venue, teacher and DJ all with the salsa theme in mind and the frequent changing of partners as you dance round the room means that everyone gets to know each other very quickly. Or how about a murder mystery night if dancing is off the agenda. It’s also a winner if your guests like to dress up and stay in character for the whole evening. If you want a change but don’t want to stray to far from tradition, why not try a 70s or 80s disco? You could also ask everyone to dress up to add to the fun. If you fancy a gamble, then try a casino evening. Again you could dress up – this time with a black tie theme. Dish out some fun money at the start of the evening or let everyone play for small stakes to raise money for charity. If you think everyone attending the party is really up for some fun you could organise a beach party. It may be the middle of

JYR JSV EPP> Xv} e Glvmwxqew tevx} {mxl e jyr xliqi xlmw }iev2 winter, but you can turn up the heat by asking everyone to wear their favourite beachwear, sip cocktails and dance under a few fake palm trees. Whatever theme you decide to go for, make sure you book early.

Raise a glass or two to Make sure the festive season from the E WE ALL tend to eat out more during the festive season – and a lot of people enjoy a glass of wine with their meal. Once upon a time, ordering a bottle of wine in a restaurant was fraught with tension. The sommelier would reverently lay the leather-bound wine list on the table and screw his face up in a disapproving fashion if you dared order from the lower end of the price scale. And woe betide you if you didn’t swirl the wine in the glass properly or ‘nose’ it in the correct fashion. But times have mostly changed for the better and you can usually count on most restaurant wine lists having reliable – and reasonably priced – options. Alvaro Marcos Garcia, head sommelier and wine buyer at Theo Randall at London’s swanky Intercontinental Hotel and winner of the 2007 International Sommelier Challenge, has some surprisingly straightforward advice for those who start to shake when a lengthy wine list appears. “Don’t be afraid if you don’t know what to have, just tell the wine waiter what sort of wine you like,” he says. “If you like wine from Spain, or fruity white wines, tell them. That way they can start to narrow

down what you might like and you can go from there.” If your choices are influenced by cost, Alvaro says there’s nothing

wrong with opting for the house wine. “Can you trust house wine? Of course you can!” he says, explaining that house wine is often priced lower than other choices because the restaurant wine buyer has put the squeeze on their supplier. “In good establishments the house wine will be good quality at a good price. House wine is chosen to represent the restaurant, so it makes sense for it to be good.” What you choose also comes down to how important you see the food and wine matching element of a meal, he explained. “When I started as a sommelier I used to be shocked if a customer ordered, say, a sauvignon blanc if they were eating beef.” “But now I think, well, if they are enjoying it, that’s the important thing. It’s very personal.” If you feel that the sommelier is trying to push you into choosing a wine you really don’t want, don’t be shy to stand your ground. “We are not here to make people spend money, we’re here to give advice,” Alvaro says. “The sommelier is there for the guests’ benefit – and a restaurant wants the customers to come back, so we don’t want to give you bad advice.”

HASLINGTON

The Fox Haslington has re-opened its doors following an amazing transformation of both the interior and exterior. Traditional from the outside, totally renovated and modernised on the inside, offering the finest traditional home made pub food. Barry and his team have worked hard to achieve a fresh, inviting and relaxing atmosphere which is apparent as soon as you walk through the door. With its crisp, clean decor, subtle lighting, relaxing sofas and the added benefit of Wi-Fi, it makes an ideal venue to hold a business meeting or simply catch up with your friends. This light and airy feel is mirrored in the more formal dining area, which lends itself perfectly to be used for functions, meetings and social gatherings, The new bar area offers cask ales, wines and spirits along with speciality coffees all served daily from 10am

njoying a drink or two at Christmas is part of the celebrations. The wine and beer will be flowing at any party you attend and even if you promise to limit yourself to just one glass, your resolve can weaken as the night wears on.

So if you know you are likely to be drinking, it’s wise to leave the car at home. A driving ban, or worse, doesn’t make for the most auspicious start to the New Year and memories of that night on the town could linger on for all the wrong reasons. According to the Department of Transport, nearly one in seven of all deaths on the road involve drivers who are over the legal limit. The risk of being involved in an accident increases rapidly with the amount of alcohol consumed. If you are going to an organised event then by far the best bet is to go home by taxi or hire a mini-bus.

With a little forward planning, several friends sharing will help get you all home safely and keep the cost down. There is actually no fail-safe guide as to how much alcohol you can drink and stay under the legal limit. The amount and type of alcoholic drink, your weight, age, sex and metabolism all play their part. The quantity of alcohol in a half pint of beer is approximately the same as in a pub

you get home party safely Everyone can enjoy the celebrations this Christmas if you book transport to and from your party measure of spirits or a pub measure of port or sherry or a small glass of wine. If you are going to have a drink at Christmas time, then it is important to remember that a lot of beers and wines are actually stronger than ‘average’; that both wines and spirits may be sold in various measures; drinks poured at home are usually more generous than pub measures; cocktails are especially potent and their high alcoholic content is often masked by the taste of fruit juice.

It is also wise to remember that if you have been drinking heavily you are still likely to test positive for alcohol the following morning so it is best not to drive to work. You may wake up and think you feel sober but the effects of alcohol can linger for many hours and you may get caught out on your way to work. If you are booking a cab to and from your office party it would be a good idea to book another one to get you to work the next day. Better still, take the day off and enjoy the party memories in peace.

hinking about improving your beauty routine in the run-up to Christmas? Then you could go green.

If you are confused about what’s really in your beauty products – which are perfectly natural and which products contain more chemicals than your bathroom cleaner – you’re not alone. The demand for ‘green’ products is growing. More than 2,260 ethical cosmetics and skincare products were launched in Europe last year, according to Mintel research – a five-fold increase on 2006. But going green isn’t enough for some beauty sticklers who want to know precisely what they’re putting on to their skin. Korres is the first brand in the beauty industry to lift the lid on exactly what is in its products. Scheduled to hit shelves in November, the packaging on skincare will feature a ‘Formula Facts’ rundown with simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers to customers’ need-toknow questions.
