Mariners all set for beer festival MARINE FC will once again hold their annual end of season beer festival – with four days to choose from for locals to enjoy a pint.

This is the fourth year the Crosby club has organised the event, which is held to mark the end of the football campaign.

The four day festival will take place at the Marine Travel Arena from Thursday, April 11 to Sunday, April 14.

It will coincide with the Mariners’ last home league game of this season when they take on old rivals Buxton on Saturday, April 13 at 3pm.

The hours will be 6-11pm on Thursday and Friday and from midday to 11pm on the Saturday and Sunday.

Admission to the festival is free to attend with 11 cask ales and three ciders from 12 breweries on sale for just £1.50 per half pint, using tokens purchased from the clubrooms reception.

Marine chairman Paul Leary said: “We have been really pleased with the success of the beer festivals that we have staged at the end of the last three seasons timed to coincide with our last Saturday home game of the season.

“This year’s event sees a superb range of 11 cask ales and three ciders selected from 12 breweries nationally with the highlight of the festival being on the Saturday when we play at home against Buxton.

“We are looking forward once again to working with our staff, suppliers, volunteers, and sponsors to make this event another success.

“I would like to thank Kevin Murphy, managing director of Rent-a-space self-storage for agreeing, once again, to be the headline event sponsor.”

BURGLAR JAILED FOR TERROR RAID ON FAMILY HOME Gang threatened occupants and even slashed pet dog before stealing cash Report by Tom Martin

A MASKED burglar who was part of a gang who broke into a home in Litherland, threatened the family and slashed their dog with a knife has been jailed for nine years.

Connor Hughes, 24, of Meadow View, Litherland, was found guilty following a shocking burglary at a house on Green Lane in January this year.

The terrifying break-in happened at around 2am when the family were awoken by a loud noise and they were confronted by a gang of men who demanded cash.

They threatened the family, stole an unknown quantity of cash and even slashed their pet dog, causing the animal to need treatment for cuts.

Connor Hughes

Hughes appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday, April 5 for his role in the incident and he was sentenced by the judge to nine years in prison.

Detective Inspector Tony O’Brien, said: “Burglaries can have a lasting impact on home owners who have every right to feel safe and protec-

ted in their own properties.

“This was a particularly nasty incident in which threats were made to the occupants of the house and the family’s dog was injured.

“I am pleased that Hughes will now have to spend a period of time behind bars reflecting on his actions.

“Merseyside Police is committed to finding the people who are responsible for committing offences such as these and bringing them to justice.

“I would ask anyone who has any information about burglary offences in their area to contact us.

“I would also continue to ask the public to be vigilant as we know the vast majority of burglaries are preventable as they are often opportunistic.

“Lock your front and back door even when you are in, set your burglar alarm when you go out or go to bed and consider getting CCTV. “It’s also a good idea to use light timers when you go out at night or away on holiday, keep valuables out of sight, and secure your shed and garage too.

“Look out for your neighbours, especially the elderly and report anything suspicious to us.”

Anyone with information about any burglary in their area can DM @MerPolCC, call 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Pub to become flats but historic features retained ‘Cannon’ set to be incorporated into design by developer Report by Tom Martin

Louis with his gold medal and trophy.

Louis bats away competition to clinch gold for England!

A YOUNG table tennis player from Crosby helped serve up a gold medal for England.

Louis Cheung-Turner, 10, was selected for his country to compete in the Seven Nations Primary Schools Home International, held recently in Belfast.

The boys played an exciting match, but the pendulum swung in favour of a rampant England team, who won three matches 10-0 and only dropped one doubles in a 9-1

defeat of Scotland. The Irish had similarly dominant results but the English came out 7-3 winners.

The team of Louis, along with teammates Joseph Cooper, Francesco Bonato, and Ralph Pattison were exceptional.

In the individual event, Louis couldn't get past the last 16 after he was beaten by English teammate Ralph, but he was delighted to bring home the gold medal in the team event.

Community fun day aims to bring Litherland together

PLANS to turn an historic pub in Crosby into flats have been given a green light

by Sefton Council.

Several residents had objected to the proposal to transform the closed-down Crosby Hotel, on Liverpool Road, into nine flats.

But the local authority has given permission for the work to begin – although they have insisted on a range of measures to ensure “the historic character of this building is maintained.”

Some of these measures include a stipulation that the chimneys and their pots must remain because they are “important features” of the building.

With regards to the inside of the pub, the council say “any original or historic feature should be retained as they make a wholly positive contribution to the character of the building.”

The Champion has reported how last orders were finally called at the once popular pub in July last year, but some remained hopeful it would reopen as a pub at some point in the future.

These hopes were dashed in January when developer EI Group PLC, based in Solihull, West Midlands, submitted the planning application.

The council stated in a report published after they made the decision: “It is considered that the proposal will not cause any significant harmful impacts on adjacent

residential properties in comparison to the existing situation of a public house with two residential flats on the upper floors.

“Care must be taken to ensure that the historic character of this building is maintained and the development does not see the loss of important features which contribute towards this special character.”

The council received three letters of objection from residents, with some of the

concerns raised including car parking issues on York Road and “problems caused by building works.”

The Champion has previously reported how a cannon outside the former pub has historical significance, and locals had been worried this could be lost as part of the development.

However, EI Group say they will incorporate the cannon in their plans.

NEW DENTURES

A FUN day will be held in Litherland to “help bring together the community” with a whole host of activities on offer.

The L21 Network Project say they want to “develop community cohesion” and a Community Easter Fun Day will take place at Litherland Youth and Community Centre to promote this message.

During the event, which will be held on Saturday, April 13 between 2-4pm, families can enjoy a police vs community football match, a bouncy castle, facepainting, arts and crafts, beat the goalie, a Playstation 4 games van, community consultation and refreshments.

The whole event is being planned and delivered in collaboration with a range of partners and key stakeholders from the area, including Merseyside Police, the Police Crime Commissioners Office, Sefton Council and Sefton CVS. Locals will also be given a chance to have a say on issues in the area and how their community could be improved through a consultation which will be held on the day.

Residents object to plans by petrol station to sell alcohol 24 hours a day

Village can thrive after St Modwen sell up: MP ‘New landlord needs to put Crosby first and have social good as a priority’

Report by Tom Martin RESIDENTS are objecting against plans for a petrol station in Crosby to open 24 hours a day and start selling alcohol.

Locals who live near the Esso Garage, on College Road, claim it would lead to anti-social behaviour, late night noise and would become “a magnet for youths.”

Report by Tom Martin MP BILL Esterson is hopeful Crosby Village can thrive if the landlord who buys the shops from St Modwen puts economic growth and social good as their priorities.

The Champion has reported how the regeneration specialists have put their stores on the market for £6.4million – three years after buying them from Sainsbury ’s.

It split opinion from shoppers, with some criticising St Modwen for walking away from the project, while others say they have already helped breathe fresh life into the high street.

MP Esterson said: “I want to see Crosby Village go from strength to strength. We have some excellent new tenants in Crosby, and I hope that the village continues to thrive whether St Modwen continues to own property or finds a buyer.

“Any new landlord needs to put Crosby first and have economic growth and social good as their priorities.

“I and my colleagues on the council locally want Crosby village to be a vibrant centre of the community and a place where people want to spend time, whether shopping, using services or enjoying their leisure time.

“I look forward to working with any new investor in helping Crosby to have

a thriving, vibrant centre.”

Lambert Smith Hampton has now been appointed by St Modwen to advertise the shops as a “neighbourhood mixed-use investment” with a price tag of at least £6,380,000.

Since St Modwen took over a portfolio of shops in Crosby Village in 2016, they have refurbished the Glenn Buildings in the hope of attracting more businesses.

Over the past few years Peacocks clothes shop, Village Vets, Scouse Bird shop and Frankie's bar are just some of the stores which have moved into the Village, with more recent arrivals coming in the form of Bailey's gift shop and Crosby Events Centre.

Last week, it was confirmed an Italian restaurant and a cash management store would be moving into the Village.

Metro Mayor calls on council and Highways England to hold talks over Rimrose road plan Report by Tom Martin

Contact: 07485 021048 / 01704 833307 www.bluestreamservices.co.uk info@bluestreamservices.co.uk FULLY INSURED

METRO Mayor Steve Rotheram has urged Highways England and Sefton Council to “sit down and talk ” after finally breaking his silence on the plan to build a road through Rimrose Valley.

Campaigners have been calling on the Liverpool City Region leader to weigh in on the issue but his wish for both sides to meet up may prove tricky as Sefton Council leader Ian Maher told the Champion in February that the local authority will refuse to work with Highways England until they explore a tunnel option.

Mr Rotheram said: “I have been supporting Sefton Council in the campaign for the best deliverable outcome for residents, lobbying government to consider a tunnel and working to increase rail capacity for freight.

“Unfortunately, the process seems to have reached an impasse, which I believe can only be resolved by all sides sitting down and talking.

“I hope Highways England, Peel and the government will urgently meet with Sefton Council and the concerned residents to reflect on their views.

“Too often, ordinary people feel that those in power are not listening to them, especially when it comes to developments affecting their community.

“Climate change and poor air quality are some of the biggest challenges of our time and we need to think and act differently if we are to meet them.”

Highways England wants to create better transport links between Switch Island and the Port of Liverpool and decided that a road through Rimrose Valley is their preferred option.

Stuart Bennett of the Save Rimrose Valley Cam-

Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram

paign welcomed the Metro Mayor’s intervention.

He said: “We believe it represents a breakthrough and it’s encouraging to see him acknowledge people’s fears for their health and the environment.

“We firmly believe a solution is possible which improves the lives of everyone – not only for those who want to see Rimrose Valley protected – but also for the communities alongside the existing A5036 Port Access Route.

“We urge Steve Rotheram to continue to lobby government and to use his influence to secure more funding for a better solution.

“We have also requested that he facilitates the meeting he is calling for and gets the right people around the table.

“However, the Department for Transport must approach any meeting with an open mind and a genuine desire to explore a fairer solution.”

Marine FC’s 125 year history charted in illustrated book

More than 500 photographs, league tables, statistics, press reports and major events from each season since 1894 covered Report by Tom Martin MARINE FC ’s 125 year history can be read in a new book published by a lifelong fan.

Barry Lenton has researched the Crosby club’s past and fellow supporters will be able to find out how the Mariners were formed in 1894 when they competed in the I-Zingari League, through to their present day membership of the Northern Premier League.

The A4 book contains more than 350 pages of editorial and photographs covering the 125 year history of Marine season by season.

It will be handed over to Marine at the end of June in readiness for the official 125th anniversary launch night in July at the Marine Travel Arena.

The file conversions are to be carried out

by Marine fan Neil McAdam and the book is to be printed by The Printroom based in Bootle which has had a long association with Marine.

Marine chairman Paul Leary said: “This is an inspirational compilation by Barry of the history of our famous football club.

“He has spent over 1,500 hours to capture and portray our history in such a special way.

“It is an absolutely fascinating portrayal of the people who have looked after, and supported Marine through the 125 years since the club was formed in 1894.

“The book, with over 500 photographs and over 50,000 words, covers the many successes of Marine over the decades and sensitively writes about the people, supporters and sponsors who worked so hard to make that happen.

“It is an incredibly, meticulously prepared historical record of Marine that provides some material and information never seen before and is a must read for anyone who

has or has had an interest in Marine or in non-league in general.

“I know that Barry will be so proud to see his efforts come to fruition with the publication of the book in June and I have no doubt that readers will enjoy such a fabulous compilation of our history” Barry added: “When Paul Leary asked me in September 2017 to consider producing a book to celebrate Marine’s 125th season,

I remember saying to him that I would be lucky to produce 100 pages but it soon became apparent that there was more to the club’s history than Marine supporters could have imagined.

“Apart from photographs, it consists of statistics, league tables and major events for every season since 1894, programme covers, tickets, posters, press reports, and anecdotes. I think our fans will love it.”

Heartless thief who stole from pensioners wept in court - then laughed after she escaped jail Report by Lynda Roughley A PERSISTENT heartless thief wept as she heard how she had devastated two pensioner victims, one in Bootle - and then left court laughing after she escaped jail.

Linda Shields has left behind scores of victims during her career of petty crime - often involving ‘dipping’ handbags - to fund her addiction to crack cocaine and heroin.

When she was last jailed in 2017 for two years for stealing from an 85-year-old woman, a judge said she had “made stealing her life’s work.”

But another judge has now given the 56-year old a final chance to mend her ways and tackle her long standing Class A drug habit.

Shields, who is living in a hostel in Fraser Street in Liverpool city centre turned up at the city’s crown court in a wheelchair and with two huge bulging bags of belongings expecting to be sent straight back to jail.

However after hearing that she has not been given help since 2007 - which she promptly did not take Recorder Ben Douglas-Jones, QC, suspended a two year jail term for 18 months and imposed a nine month drugs rehab requirement.

On December 21 she targeted a 68-year-old woman in TJ Hughes’ in Bootle’s Strand Shopping Centre and stole her purse and a £50 exercise band

from her handbag. Shortly afterwards the victim’s bank card was used in two fraudulent transactions totalling £60.

Shields, who was with another woman, had been caught on CCTV and was identified by a police officer and arrested and interviewed on March 6 this year.

The court heard that Shields, who pleaded guilty to the Bootle theft and another in Old Swan, has 52 convictions for 131 offences.

“You have tens if not scores of offences of stealing from people and you have several convictions for attempted theft,” said the judge.

He pointed out that she had been on licence from prison while committing these latest two offences and he had no doubt she had targeted the first woman after seeing her withdraw £120 from the cashpoint before going into the store.

“You admitted being specifically there ‘to dip’, to steal from someone, as you owed money, no doubt for your enduring and dual addiction to heroin and crack.”

Recorder Douglas-Jones said that in her impact statement the pensioner told how she had been left “shocked and shaken. The incident has left me feeling vulnerable.”

He said that the second victim, who had been doing her Christmas shopping, had not noticed Shields stealing her purse “no doubt because of your practised involvement in stealing from single women.”

In her impact statement she told how the theft of £25 cash and the fraudulent card transactions had caused her great financial problems and she had to freeze her bank account until after Christmas.

“I had to borrow money from my sister to cover bills and buy my great grandson a Christmas present. Even now I’m still not back to normal with my finances.”

She said she had been having “a good day” with her daughter but had been left shaking and the stress of the incident landed her in hospital. She was diagnosed with respiratory problems and is now on steroids.

“I used to go out shopping and alone and use public transport but now I’ll only do so with a family member and in taxis. The female involved not only took my purse she has also taken my health and I feel she undoubtedly should be punished.”

The judge told Shields, who sat sobbing in her wheelchair, that she had “preyed on women who looked vulnerable.”

Charles Lander, defending, said Shields had not been given any help since 2007 when she got a drug rehabilitation order, though she did breach it. She suffers from a broken back and is now on a methadone prescription and is getting help for her addictions. She is also in remission from stomach cancer after six months chemotherapy.

The judge also ordered her to carry out 25 days rehabilitation activities and imposed a three month curfew between 7 -7 am.

Dave reminds people to wear a red carnation for the Hillsborough victims

ATTENTION BEAUTICIANS!!!

Are you looking for your break in the Beauty industry or know somebody who is?

Report by Kenny Parker FORMER lollipop man and erstwhile Maghull Radio presenter Dave Hughes is encouraging people to wear a red carnation to remember the 30th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster next Monday, April 15.

Dave came up with the idea of a red carnation day to teach younger people of the tragedy that happened at Hillsborough when he was hosting his radio programme in 2013.

As a consequence, Wear A Red Carnation Hillsborough Awareness Campaign was launched in 2014, which attracted widespread support.

Though he ended his involvement with the campaign two years ago, Dave is still keen for people to remember the Hillsborough 96 by wearing a red carnation.

Writing to the Champion he said: “Could you ask your readership if they could find the time to nip into a florist and buy a red carnation buttonhole and wear it on Monday, as they go about their business, to show their love and support for the families still awaiting closure and also in remembrance of the 96 Liverpool FC fans, who never came home.”

Dave, who recently retired from both being Dave Hughes handing carnations to Jurgen Klopp. a lollipop man outside St Andrew’s CofE Primary School, Maghull, and host of a weekly proWith Lee Smith of Ada-Lily’s florists in Kirkby, gramme on Maghull Community Radio, was which donated the flowers, Dave handed out 500 present at the Hillsborough Memorial at Anfield in carnations to friends and family members of the 2016 following the inquest which cleared the fans victims visiting the memorial and also gave some to of all blame.

Vets fly out to Skiathos again to help island’s cats Report by Kenny Parker A VET and nurse are giving up their annual leave to fly to the Greek island of Skiathos to help to bring its stray cat population under control.

Sara Creech and Claire Shepherd, from Crowther Veterinary Surgeons, which has a branch in Maghull, hope to neuter 100 cats in a week as part of the Skiathos Cat Welfare Association's programme. They will also provide flea and worm treatment.

This will be the fourth time Sara and Claire have volunteered with the charity, which has neutered more than 5,000 cats since 2005 and prevented thousands of kittens being born into a life of hardship following a programme to humanely trap cats, neuter and then release them.

Using a makeshift operating table in the basement of a villa, Sara and Claire will neuter 18 cats a day after they fly out on Thursday, April 18 and stay for eight days.

It was while holidaying in Skiathos that Claire, who owns four cats, was alerted to the charity’s work as she saw for herself the number of stray cats roaming the resort.

Some of the island’s cat population are suffering from viruses like cat flu and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, worms and fleas, while there are hundreds of abandoned kittens.

Claire, who lives in Seaforth, said: “After two years of volunteering, we are starting to see the fruits of our labours with happier and healthier cats. However, there is still a lot to be done so we want to continue the work we have started.

“For many years, the cat population was out of control, diseases were prevalent and there were lots of abandoned, sick kittens. Female cats were continually pregnant and producing lots of kittens.

“It is a really worthy cause to support and, as a vet and veterinary nurse, we are a good team to go out

Sara Creech (left) and Claire Shepherd will fly out to Skiathos

and carry out the work.

“We are preventing potential suffering for the next generation.”

Sara Creech, from Ainsdale, added: “When you see how much of a difference the work of volunteers is making, it is all worthwhile. I enjoy feline medicine and surgery and going to Skiathos to do this work really tests our skills in challenging conditions.

“Once cats are neutered, they look so much healthier and happier. We can make a big difference to their lives.”

Bowling green to be created on site of old tennis courts Report by Tom Martin A BOWLING green will be created in Crosby on the site of two rundown tennis courts.

Brownmoor Sports and Social Club, based on Brownmoor Park, have been given permission by Sefton Council to replace the “dilapidated” tennis courts which had become “overgrown and unsightly.”

The club will create a bowling green along with a bowler’s hut, ancillary buildings, rainwater harvesting tank and an upgrade to the car park.

Me and my husband were also trapped in park after gates locked

20mph zones will only work Educate people if speed humps are installed about recycling

Re: Cyclist trapped in park after gates locked article.

Last summer my husband and myself (both in our 70s) found ourselves locked in Alexandra Park in Crosby.

We entered with our dog from College Road but having circled the park we found the gate to be locked and then to our consternation discovered all the others were now locked too.

There was no warning whistle.

There is no notice of closing times and no phone number displayed in the park.

We had no idea how we would get out.

Fortunately, eventually a young man arrived in the park and led us to a space through which he had entered and through which, with some difficulty, we were able to climb out.

Re: Letter in March 20 edition.

While I concur with all that he says, it is impossible to solve the key safety issue of those that he lists; that being speeding.

Roads are no longer the shared space which we all have a right to use in a safe manner.

Since 2013, on residential roads in Sefton, there has been a failure to include self-enforcement (speed humps, chicanes, road narrowing etc) as an essential element of the reduction of the speed limit to 20mph.

Consequently, the 20mph limit is discredited.

In Crosby, speeding at all times is excessive.

Drivers on narrow residential roads typically do twice that of the 20mph limit; the worst drivers will speed over 50mph!

Yet no one in a position of authority does anything about it, so the problem only gets worse with more drivers speeding, often just to avoid themselves being tailgated and harassed.

Name supplied, Crosby

Sefton Council refused to adhere to the Department for Transport criteria covering the effective introduction of 20mph which advised against the reduction of speed limits on roads where speeds exceeded the then 30mph limit (all of Crosby) unless self-enforcement measures were implemented at the same time.

It was proven that drivers would not voluntarily reduce their speeds from 30+mph down to 20mph; they would have to be compelled to do so, as the speed differential was too great.

If those criteria had been applied, we would not have the dangerous speeding we now have.

Police national policy reflects this and Merseyside Police stated that they should not be expected to provide additional enforcement beyond their routine activity, unless explicitly agreed.

Paul Ford, Crosby

PIC of the week

I just read in your recent edition that food waste collection is to be scrapped because not enough people are using it.

Also, instead of food caddies we are to put it in the grey wheelie bins?

For starters we dont have any wheelie bins down my road and not only that for those that do have such means they are going to have to routinely clean them out!

Surely the council would do much better to educate people and where they don’t choose to recycle they should enforce it anyway.

This throw away mentality has to stop somewhere?

Paul Thomas, Brighton le Sands

Decline is due to fewer collections Re: Article about council scrapping food waste collections.

The amount of food waste collected has dropped not because people are wasting less but because it is now collected fortnightly.

I imagine the 5,000 tonnes collected in 2010 was when it was a weekly collection.

In my own road 85/90% of caddies were put out when it was weekly collections but has dropped well below 40% with the fortnightly collection.

Sefton Council failed to mention the drop may be a result of them changing from weekly to fortnightly collections.

Residents should unite against Rimrose road plan

Tunnel would not take much longer to build than a road

In response to the letter in the March 6 edition (Rimrose Valley road is only practical solution).

I would like to ask the letter writer if he would be prepared to buy a house overlooking Rimrose Valley if the road is built?

Would the letter writer take his family to use the amenities next to a high speed dual carriageway if the road is built?

I appreciate that the plight of the A5036 residents is untenable but I believe that all the residents of South Sefton should be uniting to insist that the government find a smart solution to the issue that significantly reduces pollution (air, noise and vibration) within the borough rather than just exacerbating the pollution over the whole area by wanting to build a new road.

I feel I must respond to a letter regarding the proposed road through Rimrose Valley.

I totally disagree that a proposed road through Rimrose Valley is the only practical solution.

There is very little green space here in Sefton as it is and it would be a travesty if we were to lose what little we have.

Quite how the writer believes the Valley could be enhanced with a dual-carriageway running the length of it is beyond me.

The Valley is home to a flora and fauna community, an abundance of bird life and an array of insect life, all which would be extremely vulnerable if a road was to be built.

The letter writer seems to think only a few residents use the Valley to walk their dog. I wonder how long it was that he last went there.

Many, many families, walkers, ramblers, joggers, cyclists, school children, and football teams

Name supplied, By email

Getting on the train is the easy bit, The doors close and I’m on my way, I look at the other people and think “I wonder where their journey is taking them today?”

The voices the bleeping, and the announcement of the next station overwhelms my brain, Blocking it out would be easy for some, but the sounds keep going on and on, It’s like warning emergency ahead, I wish I could step out of this brain and be neurotypical instead.

Mark Netherton, By email

Better traffic light sequence needed

use the Valley.

A dual-carriageway would divide Sefton communities, affecting hundreds of residents.

The health issues from HGV emissions would affect hundreds of families, and schoolchildren would be exposed to illegal and harmful levels of pollution which would damage their health if a road were to be built.

A tunnel option would not be prohibitively expensive as has been proven in the south of England.

To say a tunnel would take 10 to 15 years longer to build than a road is also nonsense as the four mile Hindhead Tunnel took four years to complete, so the reality is a tunnel would take little more than it would for a road to be built.

Having previously submitted and read recent letters relating to the ‘rat run’ through The Crescent I would suggest the following as a possible part solution.

The traffic light filter sequence currently in use could be altered.

Then the filter for a ‘right’ turn into Edge Lane from Moor Lane is applied, incorporate at the same time a ‘left’ turn only filter onto Moor lane from Edge Lane.

Virgin’s Lane traffic light sequence would be delayed till Edge Lane right turn or straight ahead sequence is complete.

This should create a lengthier flow of traffic from Edge Lane turning left onto Moor Lane.

There are other issue which would have to be addressed involving lane discipline etc.

Historic church to host gin festival OLD Christ Church in Waterloo is set to hold a gin festival in May. Real Ale Events are behind the two-day event at Waterloo's historic building, taking place on Friday May 17 and Saturday, May 18, with three sessions to choose from - Friday evening, Saturday daytime and Saturday evening.

As well as a wide range of gin, there will also be a small selection of wine, prosecco, beers and soft drinks on offer.

The event is aimed at gin aficionados and novices alike with up to 25 gins to choose from, including Rock Rose’s Spring edition, created to represent the crisp and fresh taste of Spring.

Also, Turncoat will be featuring on the bar with their Chai gin, which is a blend of the finest quality

botanicals, spices and tea leaves.

Even the organisers behind the event have been working hard on perfecting a fruity blend and have produced their very own blood orange gin!

Katie Jones, events director at Gin Parties, said; ‘We are now in our 6th year of running gin events and really enjoy watching the events grow in popularity.

“We’re in a gin revolution at the minute and choosing an amazing display of gin and drinking it in unusual venues is such an exciting job! We can’t wait to bring our event to Old Christchurch, underneath their beautiful stained-glass windows’.

Members of the Hurricanes team of Hightown Cricket Club

Hurricanes make history for local women’s cricket!

Report by Danielle Thompson MEMBERS of a Hightown club have made ‘cricket history’ with their first women’s match.

Hightown St Mary’s Cricket Club’s new women’s team, the Hurricanes, played their first competitive match indoors recently, with Old Xaverians CC coming out on top by 54 runs.

The club is one of only a handful that offers women’s cricket in the Liverpool area, and is currently the only club in Sefton that provides for both junior and adult female cricket.

Hurricanes head coach Sara Begg said: “I am delighted to be involved with such a dedicated and enthusiastic squad, who put in a fantastic perform-

ance in their first ever match.

“Women’s and girls’ cricket is now firmly established across the country and participation continues to grow.

“Clubs like Hightown St Mary’s are really leading the way and after this hugely promising start I hope we can go from strength to strength to truly establish the sport in the local community.”

The Hurricanes are actively seeking more players for its girls and women's squads.

Outdoor training will start on Friday evenings from April 19, when players will receive coaching from ECB qualified cricket coaches.

The club will also be hosting a women’s softball cricket tournament on Sunday, June 16.

For further information on cricket at Hightown St Mary's contact 07795 440495.

Council’s special educational needs and disability service to be re-assessed A SEFTON Council service which supports those with special education needs and disabilities will be re-visited by inspectors to see if “serious weaknesses” have been addressed since their last assessment in 2016.

The local authority’s ‘Special Educational Needs or Disability Service’ was criticised by Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) three years ago and the council was told it must improve in certain areas.

Assessors handed out a ‘written statement of action’ (WSOA) for certain aspects of the service which they felt needed to be looked at by the council.

Some of these areas included a lack of “co-production and communication with parents” and a lack of joint commissioning, which means that the services are not meeting demand.

Ofsted and the CQC will re-visit Sefton from Monday, April 15 to Wednesday, April 17 to see how

the council has addressed these areas of concern and inspectors will be keen to speak to as many children and young people and their parents and carers as possible to gather their views.

Children, young people, parents and carers can engage with the re-visit process and contribute their views through an online survey and a face-to-face open meeting.

Parents and carers who would like to take part in this survey can visit the website: www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/SeftonRe-VisitLASEND/.

The survey is now open and will close at midday on Tuesday, April 16.

An open meeting will take place on Monday, April 15 at 4-6.30pm, at the Sefton PDC, 25 Park Road, Formby.

Parents and carers can contact their local Parent Carer Forum to request details of how to be part of the discussions between parents and carers and the Ofsted/CQC re-visit team.

Martin Mere news Martin Mere welcomes Nene Goslings Staff and volunteers at Martin Mere are celebrating after five Nene goslings recently hatched at the centre. Nene geese are a firm favourite with staff and visitors as they’re one of the most friendly species on site and will often feed directly from the hand, so the new arrivals are going to be a big hit with visitors.

Nene (pronounced Nay Nay) Geese, also known as Hawaiian Geese, are the first WWT conservation success story. During the 1950s the Nene was close to extinction due to the introduction of predators in Hawaii and due to loss of its natural habitat, including the development of golf courses! With just 30 wild pairs left, WWT founder Sir Peter Scott began to successfully breed them in captivity and release them back into the wild, saving them from extinction, and the world population is now 2,500.

Grounds Manager Steve Nasir said “We’re thrilled to see the safe arrival of five Nene goslings. It starts the breeding season for us so we’re really excited to see what else will hatch over spring. Nene’s are an iconic species, especially for WWT, so to have five hatch is just amazing.”

Visitors are invited to come and see the adorable goslings for themselves this Easter Half Term. As well as the new arrivals, we have our GIANT Easter Duck Trail for visitors to get involved with. 25 giant ducks have been hidden around our grounds and we need your help to find them all - who will be the top spotter in your family?

Join us this Easter and get creative with your family in our craft room Buy a rubber duck, colour it in and then bring it back to the centre on Monday 6th May to enter it into our Annual Duck Race – it’s the only race that matters this Bank Holiday!

Our brand new Pond Zone is now open, giving you the opportunity to uncover a whole world of underwater life, and our award-winning Canoe Safari has re-opened for the season.

A trip to Martin Mere is a great day out for all the family and we have a wide range of activities to make sure you have an unforgettable day. Find out more at wwt.org.uk/martin-mere”

Report by Tom Martin

Luca braves the shave for charity A KINDHEARTED pupil from Crosby shaved off his hair for charity – and his schoolfriends supported him by donning some unique hairstyles for the day!

Luca Johnson, s a Year 5 pupil at Valewood Primary School, became inspired by a recent school fundraiser for Macmillan Cancer Support.

The10-year-old decided to grow his hair for as long as he felt comfortable, and then shave it off in front of a packed school assembly!

The event was helped by other pupils styling their own hair in the wackiest way possible, and it proved to be a big success with more than £600 raised.

Headteacher Helen Tantouri said: “We are all very proud of Luca. His selfless act of kindness is to be commended. Macmillan Cancer Charity helps to support many of our families and friends and I know the charity will welcome the funds Luca has helped to raise.

“I feel honoured to have this

He told me that ‘it’s not just how much money we raise that's important, Ms Tantouri, it's the raising of awareness.’

As well as teachers, staff and pupils at the assembly, Luca's proud mum, Sara, was also invited to watch and he got a round of applause when it was over.

Forum launched to help care homes work together A FORUM is being set up to help care homes across North and South Sefton to work together.

Jonathan Cunningham, the care manager of Birkdale Park Nursing Home in Southport, is holding the first meeting of the new forum, North and South Sefton Care Home Group, from 2-4pm on Wednesday, May 15 at West Lancashire Yacht Club in Southport.

He said: “The free event is open to all Sefton based care home managers and owners who wish to be part of something new and exciting.

“Southport and specifically Sefton, has the largest concentration of care homes in the UK. “Yet regrettably we are not effectively represented, with so many issues affecting social care

Sat 6th April to Mon 22nd April

we need a collective, powerful voice of representation. It is therefore hoped that the North & South Sefton Care Home Group will provide such a voice across Sefton.

“The North & South Sefton Care Home Group will aim to work in collaborative partnership with local CCGs, GP consortiums, Hospital Trusts, Local Authority commissioning and Social Services.

“The group will operate on a membership basis and work to serve its members and their voice in social care.

“Overall it intends to improve the quality of care to those most vulnerable in our society within a commercially sustainable and viable social care sector.”

The Champion l Wednesday 10 April 2019

Once under way we soon realised what the ropework was for.

Firstly for passengers to cling on to, and secondly to stop them actually falling to the ground if they loosed their grip.

This thing didn’t simply swing to and fro. Oh no.

Once into its stride it ended up virtually vertical in each direction.

Truth be told, we were terrified.

Such a contraption would most certainly be outlawed today (Health and Safety would have a field day!) and for once, I would most certainly agree with them.

Why folk had never been flung out of this ‘yacht’ like passengers on the stricken Titanic tumbling down the decks, I really do not know - perhaps they had and lived to tell the tale.

Still, the ‘Steam Yacht’ outscared even most rides at theme parks today - and George and I could be proud that we stuck it out without yelling at ‘The Man’ to stop the damned thing.

All part of the fun of the fair.

New Brighton is still a nice little town to visit.

I used to take my then collie (Tina 3) over on the ferry to Seacombe and walk along the front to New Brighton, through the town and continue along the coast to the first train station after New Brighton itself, Manor Road, and let the train take the strain back to Liverpool and home.

On a nice summer’s day, it makes a really good excursion without all that much effort.

Play going on tour Best-selling series

FOLLOWING on from its acclaimed run at the Liverpool Empire Theatre last autumn, By The Waters Of Liverpool is set to embark on a major UK tour in Spring 2020.

The production follows the smashhit success of Forrester’s Twopence To Cross The Mersey and is being

brought to audiences by the team behind both the musical and stage play versions of the award-winning true story.

By The Waters Of Liverpool is a period drama set in the 1930s.

The tour will be at Southport Theatre on March 27-28 2020.

comes alive on stage at Empire for first time

THE award-winning series of books Tom Gates will receive its first UK tour, stopping off at the Liverpool Empire Theatre from April 17–21.

The producers behind the Olivier award nominated Gangsta Granny and the celebrated Horrible Histories stage shows have teamed up with acclaimed author and illustrator Liz Pichon to create a new story exclusively for the stage.

The show follows Tom as he tries to keep out of trouble while things go increasingly wrong at home and school.

It features favourite characters from the stories including Tom’s best friends Derek and Norman and their band Dogzombies.

It’s not easy to impress Amy Porter and moany Marcus Meldewis doing his best to disrupt things while their teacher Mr Fullerman keeps his beady eye on the mall.

Things aren’t made easier when his grandparents-The Fossils-announce a big surprise and his Mum, Dad and sister Deliaare doing everything to make his life difficult, which means Tom will need all the help he can get to save the day!

With 14 books in the Tom Gates series so far, Liz Pichon is a multiple number one best-selling children’s author and illustrator.

More than five million copies of Tom Gates books have sold in the UK and abroad and the Tom Gates series has been translated into 43 languages.

Liz has won more than 20 awards including the Roald Dahl Funny Prize,

Tom Gates at Birmingham Stage Company. Photo by Mark Douet

Waterstones Children’s Book Prize for Best Fiction for five to 12 year olds, multiple Specsavers Bestseller Awards and a Blue Peter Book Award–and badge!

In 2017, Liz was the World Book Day illustrator.

The Birmingham Stage Company, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary year, is the award-winning producers of David Walliams’ Gangsta Granny and Awful Auntie.

The company produce all the Horrible Histories shows live on stage including

the West End productions of Barmy Britain.

The company also performs internationally, including David Almond’s Skellig on Broadway and Horrible Histories at The Sydney Opera House.

Review by Ron Ellis Dangerous Obsession by NJ Crisp SDC At Little Theatre, Southport THE curtain rises to reveal an opulent conservatory where Sally Driscoll, an attractive blonde lady in a revealing red swimsuit, pours herself a drink and relaxes as she waits for her husband to come home from work.

But then a stranger turns up, unexpectedly, at the door.

She reluctantly lets him in after he tells her his name is John Barrett and they have met before with their respective partners at a Conference. He wants to discuss something with the two of them.

He is quiet and unobtrusive. She relaxes. She doesn’t notice, as he strolls round the room, that he has locked the conservatory door and pocketed the key.

Her husband, Mark, arrives. A typical salesman, brash and outspoken. John begins to ask questions concerning their marriage.

Something is not quite right. Mark has had enough and tells him to leave and make an appointment at his office if he has something to say. He doesn’t go. The suspense begins to build. We know something dreadful is about to happen but it is taking an awful long time to show itself.

Then comes the interval, after which things take a sudden, sinister turn as a succession of awful truths emerge that bring out secrets and expose lies and we suddenly view the protagonists in a totally different light as their true characters are revealed.

And just as we think we have the solution, things change. Again and again.

The cast of Dangerous Obsession. Picture by Fletcherhill photography

I will not tell you how it ends nor, indeed, what happens in between, but I did notice that all the people walking up the gangways at nine thirty (an early finish) were animatedly discussing the conclusion.

This was a great performance from Kyle HarrisonPope, who was perfectly cast as Mark, while Alice Burns captured the essence of the typical trophy wife. I found it hard to be frightened by Ted Bullen as John Barrett, having seen him perform brilliantly in so many comic roles.

Also, I would have expected Barrett to be a man of similar age to the Driscolls.

Nevertheless, this was a gripping play, expertly directed by Adrian Miles-Roberts (who also designed the excellent set) and Simon Hawkins. One can see why it is ranked as one of the three best psychological thrillers of all time.

Star Rating 7 out of 10. Every twist and turn of the plot brings another gasp from the audience.

I detest TV adverts using crummy covers of 90s hits West, but don’t for a moment think it’s going to be a small, two-door coupe with various bits borrowed from the Fiesta.

Not a chance, because the new Ford Puma is a five-door crossover.

Stuart Rowley, Ford’s top man in Europe, reckons we’ll love it.

“Innovatively engineered and seductively styled, we think Puma is going to really resonate with compact-car customers in Europe,” he told car nuts when it was first announced.

“If you want a car that can turn heads on Friday night, and swallow your flat-pack furniture with ease on Saturday afternoon, then you’ve found it.”

He’s bang on, of course. If the number of people buying Nissan Jukes is anything to go by, people are going to love it, and unlike its 1997 namesake the new car really will laugh in the face of a trip to IKEA. Chances are it isn’t going to suffer from crusty rear arches or steering wheels with a disintegrating trim five years down the line, either – but the telling thing is that Ford’s own press release on the new Puma made precisely zero references to the original. I’ve no doubt that it will be fun to drive, effortlessly practical and – thanks to its CAR SALES hybrid tech – kind to CENTRAL GARAGE, 101 Ormskirk Road, Rainford the environment, but Tel:(01744) 883454 couldn’t they have VIEW ALL THESE CARS WITH PICTURES AT picked another name? www.arthurdagnallcarsales.co.uk To me, and a lot of other people who 2015 (65) KIA SPORTAGE 1.6 PETROL 6 SPD, in white with A/C, e/pack, alloys, CC, CD, bluetooth etc ONLY SIXTEEN THOUSAND MILES . £11,995 really love cars, the 2016 (16) TOYOTA AYGO XPRESSION 5DR, in red, with A/C, e/pack, alloys, CD etc, ONLY THREE THOUSAND MILES............................................£7,995 Puma is all about zingy, Yamaha-tuned 2016 (16) NISSAN QASHQAI 1.2 ACENTA, in magnetic red, with A/C, e/pack, alloys, CD etc, ONLY FIVE THOUSAND MILES................................. £12,995 engines, beautifully 2015 (65) RENAULT CAPTUR DYNAMIQUE, in copper/black, with sat nav, A/C, e/pack, alloys etc, ONLY NINE THOUSAND MILES................ £10,995 balanced suspension 2015 (15) CITROEN DS3 PURETECH 1.2 DSTYLE NAV, in purple, with sat nav, A/C, e/pack, alloys, CD, CC etc, £20 road tax, only 24,000 miles ....£7,995 and cramming your 2015 (15) VAUXHALL MOKKA 1.6 PETROL SE, in silver, with full leather, A/C, e/pack, power fold mirrors, alloys, CD etc, mates into some tiny ONLY THIRTEEN THOUSAND MILES ................................................................................................................................................................ £10,995 back seats.

FORGET Piers Morgan. Forget endless rolling news about Brexit. In fact, forget all of the Saturday night talent shows, vapid shopping channels and Love Island. The one thing that really, really annoys me on TV are adverts that use rubbish remakes of hit songs I grew up with, writes our motors man David Simister.

So far, I’ve counted Everybody Wants to Rule The World, The Power of Love and Somewhere Only We Know ruined by slowed-down, breathy-voiced cover versions of the kind popularised by the John Lewis festive ads, but the one that’s really got my goat is the Lloyds ad with all the horses running down the beach.

Not because it has over-indulgent amounts of equine-themed feelgood factor, but because it takes Olive’s excellent 1997 dance hit You’re Not Alone, and ruins it.

A part of my formative years – and a UK number one, don’t forget – utterly trashed because someone thought a commercially-minded makeover was a cracking idea.

So it goes with the Ford Puma. For the first time in 18 years you’ll be able to buy a brand-new car bearing that name from showrooms across the North

Bootle boosted by Aussie all-rounder Webster and paceman Liaqat for new season THE 2019 Liverpool & District Cricket Competition gets underway on Saturday, April 20 and it’s time to take a look at the comings and goings in the Premier Division, writes Glenn Wallworth.

Reigning champions Northern are looking to retain their title and James Cole has signed opening bowler Danny Houghton from Rainford and top order batsman Taylor Cornall from Lytham, while Jamie Barnes has returned to Ormskirk and Andy Baybutt to Orrell Red Triangle.

Bootle have appointed keeper Neil Williams as their new skipper and his first signings are opening bowler Kieron New from Prestatyn and paceman Jhangir Liaqat from Colne. However the pick of his new recruits has to be Sheffield Shield Tasmanian and Big Bash Melbourne Renegade off spinning all rounder Beau Webster who comes to Wadham Road fresh from a century against New South Wales.

Those leaving the club are Craig Prince who has joined Southport Trinity, Bharat Tripathi who has returned to Burnley and Chris Liptrot who has decided to end his career back at Highfield.

Nicky Caunce at Ormskirk has signed last season’s leading run scorer Tyler McGladdery from Rainhill, brought back Jamie Barnes from Northern and the club have also added Michael Gill and Chris King to bolster the clubs ranks. Andy Baybutt has returned to Orrell and Alex Mason has gone to Lytham. The club are also proud to announce that two of their young home grown players George Lavelle and Tom Hartley have recently signed professional contracts with Lancashire CCC. In the Second Division, Hightown St Mary’s are another club with plenty going on behind the scenes by many hard working members who are transforming

Northern add opening bowler Houghton and top order batsman Cornall to squad the ground and also trying to take ladies cricket into the surrounding areas and beyond. On the pitch Ben Ashcroft will once again lead the side, he has once again secured the services of Zimbabwean Under 19 all rounder Jayden Schadendorf and added Joel Barlow from Ainsdale, sadly Sachin Sharma has taken a temporary work contract out in Australia but hopes to return to the club in 2020.

Maghull will once again be led

by Paul Walters and his first signing is young Australian left arm spinner Joe Meden-Ewen who plays for Northcote in Victoria and had a season with Wakefield Thomas in the South Yorkshire Premier League last season, the club have also been bolstered by five new signings from Bootle who will help strengthen the second team and keep those in the first team on their toes. l Finally I’d like to pass best wishes from myself and everyone else I know in the LDCC for a speedy and full recovery to Maghull’s under 18 and 3rd XI wicketkeeper Alex Moffitt. The 17 year old sufferd serious head injuries when he was struck by a car in the early hours of Saturday, March 23 and is currently undergoing round the clock treatment at the fabulous Walton Centre in Fazakerley.

The budding sportsman also plays football for St Helens Town first team and his family, friends and members of both clubs will be eager to see him back on the field of play in the not too distant future.

Brett Mbalanda put Marine in front. Picture by Susan Nugent

Marine let lead slip at wet and windy Whitby Whitby Town 2 Marine 1 MARINE conceded a late goal to come away empty handed from a wet and windy Whitby Town.

In awful conditions at the Turnbull Ground, for much of the game the sides produced an open game with the Blues having the clearer of the chances.

But it was Marine who took the lead when Brett Mbalanda scored in the 36th minute, latching onto a loose ball in the area following a corner before firing a low shot on the turn inside Jack Norton's near post.

Whitby were level inside a minute, Dale Hopson finding the top corner with a well placed free kick from 25 yards.

The game looked likely to end in a

draw until Adam Gell won it for the home side after 84 minutes, turning on the right of the penalty area before clipping a measured finish in to the far corner of Joe Hilton's net.

The result left Marine in 17th place in the Evo-Stik Premier league table, five points above the relegation places.

The Mariners were due to host Matlock Town last night (Tuesday) and are at home to Buxton on Saturday.

Jones wins goalkeeper of the month award

Maghull set to return to action

BOOTLE’S Ryan Jones has been named the Hallmark Security League Premier Division goalkeeper of the month for March.

Jones collected four clean sheets out of six games in the month, as well as making a string of impressive stops to cement his side into second in the division.

And the Bucks return to action this weekend after a weekend off.

Joe Doran’s side are currently on a 17 game winning run, but know

WITHOUT games last Saturday due to the Grand National and the logistical problems it creates for teams visiting their Old Hall Field enclosure, Maghull return the action tonight (Wednesday) when the Reserve team play host to West Cheshire League Division Two title favourites Page Celtic, kick off 6.30pm.

The first team have only three matches remaining in their league season, all of them at home, and the first of these is next Saturday when they entertain Hale in a Division One encounter which starts at 3pm.

they are in for a tough afternoon when they travel to Lancashire to take on Charnock Richard on Saturday.

The Bucks recorded a comfortable 4-0 win over local-rivals Litherland Remyca in their last outing - but have never beaten Andy Westwell’s side.

But their hosts did suffer a 3-1 defeat at home to Irlam in their last game, and are currently eighth in the table.

Defeat means Waterloo must win last match of season at Manchester to avoid relegation Firwood Waterloo 10 Carlisle 31 DESPITE holding the champions elect of North One West to 10-10 at the interval, Firwood Waterloo succumbed to three converted second half tries to leave them in the relegation zone with all depending on the outcome away at Manchester, one place above and on the same points, this coming Saturday.

Head coach Stuart Turner rued injuries Lawrence Jenkins in the first half and Jack Weir shortly after the break.

He said: “I cannot fault the effort all the players put in but to lose both players forced a reorganisation of our resources and our game plan proved too much against the league leaders.

“Carlisle are a very good side with some quality players who have graced the game at a much higher level.

“We did well to keep it evens at the interval but those two injuries hit us hard.”

Carlisle got the scoreboard rolling with an early penalty but keeping the ball tight and putting pressure on the

Clare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QA

visitors line Firwood Waterloo got lock Jenkins over, Darragh O’Brien adding the conversion to give his side a 7-3 lead with a penalty extending that to 10-3.

Unfortunately Carlisle came back to level matters at 10-10 with a converted try just before the interval.

However three converted tries in the second half from Carlisle proved just too much for the now weakend home side and has left them with a massive task away at Manchester this Saturday.

Turner added: “Of course we are disappointed with the result but we still have one game to go and as far as we are concerned a win will see us remain in this league next season, it is as simple as that.

“We know it is going to be a tough game and no doubt Manchester who are also fighting for their own survival will certainly be up for it.

“One of us is going to join Anselmians and De La Salle and as far as I am concerned it is not going to be us.”
