TOWN ENJOYS EASTER BREAK SUNNY SIDE UP! Day trippers flock to resort to bask in record-breaking holiday weekend.. but motorists get hot under the collar in Ainsdale!

Day-trippers enjoy an ice cream on Nevill Street

HIGH Street gloom gave way to an Easter boon over the holiday weekend when visitors flocked to the resort in their thousands to enjoy record-breaking temperatures.

One of the hottest Easter weekends recorded brought day trippers by the bucket-load to Southport, with many seaside traders basking in bumper profits.

According to the Met Office, it was the hottest Easter Monday on record with temperatures spiking at 23c in the town.

The feel-good factor even spread to the town featuring on Saturday’s national BBC TV news programmes with a reporter sent to cover the blistering hot weather direct from Southport beach!

In Ainsdale traffic was so heavy over the Easter weekend that access to the beach was cut off, leaving hundreds of cars in gridlock and hourslong queues.

Many complained that parking tickets were

Cars parked on the Coastal Road in Ainsdale over the holiday weekend

Report by Danielle Thompson being handed out ‘like Easter eggs’ to desperate motorists searching for somewhere to park up.

Other visitors to Ainsdale beach complained of ‘disgusting’ toilet facilities and over-flowing rubbish bins not emptied by council workers.

One angry dad told the Champion: “We paid £5 to park - for that price you’d think they (the council) would spend some of the proceeds on keeping the loos clean and regularly emptying the bins.

“Has no-one at the council any pride in how our beaches look to visitors?”

There were also complaints that the cost of an ice cream on Ainsdale beach had doubled from £2 to £4 over the weekend.

Ainsdale-based Champion reader Duncan Snell

said: “The coast road was blocked and in gridlock and cars were parked on every available space, including pavements and double yellow lines.

“Just what were visitors supposed to do? They had driven perhaps 40 miles to enjoy themselves and were confronted with hardly any options as to where to park. It was absolutely crazy.

“In the middle of all this mayhem were two very active traffic wardens giving out red Penalty Notices as though they were distributing free chocolate Easter eggs. I wondered how these visitors would feel when they returned to their vehicles. Welcome to Ainsdale, welcome to Southport and Sefton. Please visit us again!

“Which moron in Sefton HQ thought that closing the beach on the warmest and busiest weekend we have had for some time, was a great idea?

Sefton named 2020 Borough of Culture for Liverpool region Report by Tom Martin

30% OFF ALL WARM ROOFS

SEFTON will be Liverpool City Region Borough of Culture for 2020 - and council chiefs are looking for ideas on how to make its term a success.

The Borough of Culture initiative is part of the Liverpool City Region’s ‘1% for Culture Programme’, which involves a commitment from the LCR to spend the equivalent of 1% of its annual £30million devolution funding from government to support cultural activities.

Sefton will take on the mantle from Wirral which currently holds the status for 2019 and also follows St Helens which was the inaugural holder of the title when it was first set up in 2018.

Ahead of next year, Sefton Council wants ideas from communities, partners and businesses to ensure they put together a programme to reflect the cultural diversity of the borough.

The council wants their theme to be about storytelling, in particular stories about local people, places, history and the future.

Planning is well underway for

Sefton Council executive director Stephen Watson

2020 and Sefton Council, who is providing the framework to connect these stories, events, activities and initiatives together, is urging people to get in touch with their ideas.

The aim is to combine existing events with some new ones, whilst supporting the promotion of those planned by partners and communities.

Executive director Stephen

Watson, Sefton’s project sponsor for Borough of Culture 2020 status, said: “We’ve already started talking to our communities and partners and we’re hearing some great ideas, which is also giving us a better understanding about what culture means to them.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase and build on Sefton’s already distinct cultural offer and we want to develop a programme that is focused on stories about us, by us, for us – ultimately with the aim of delivering positive outcomes for the whole borough.

“We’re open to new ideas and would love to hear them. With your help, we will ensure our programme is inclusive to all and will engender connectivity, pride and belonging across the borough.”

Anyone who would like to submit an idea can email: BOC2020@sefton.gov.uk. Deadline is Friday, May 17.

Southport optician puts forward his vision to help town prosper Report by Danielle Thompson A SOUTHPORT optician, fed up with negative views of the town, says he can see a clear way forward to help the resort prosper.

David Myers, who has five opticians franchises in the North West including one on London Street, was disheartened to read in the Champion about the number of empty shop units in the town, and contacted us with his own ideas on how Southport could combat the ever-increasing closures.

He told the Champion: “I have some really good ideas for the future of the town, building it up and helping it to prosper.

“For instance, I’d like to see the town transformed into specific areas - the southern end of Lord Street could concentrate on providing accommodation as and when shops close, so making the shopping section which remains in the town more in-demand and raise the quality of the stores.

“The other end of Lord Street - the so-called Northern Quarter - could continue to focus more on the entertainment side, giving it its own identity and appeal.

“Some of the town’s shopping arcades could be rented out at a lower rate for arts and antiques businesses, which would make them more quirky. We need to concentrate on building up the small independents and we need to support them better -why go to Star-

‘Southport and Lytham St Anne’s, where we also trade, are both seaside towns but Lytham St Anne’s is blooming and that just goes to show that Southport can be revived’ bucks or Costa and give them your money when you could support the Southport Market traders, for example, instead?

“Ideally, it would be perfect to turn the rail station car park into a multi-storey to help with parking and attract more people to the town.

“Also, the former BHS building could be turned into a hotel, as that really is an eyesore at present.

“No matter how much people focus on empty shops or trade not being as high as it used to be – we have to be realistic. Postrecession and in the middle of ever-increasing online trading sales, we know that the ‘glory days’ of the all-encompassing high street are over.

“But, it still offers people the ‘experience’ – they still want to see what they are buying, walk along the shopping streets with family or friends, stop for a coffee, go out for lunch – things you will never get from shopping on Amazon!

“We need to focus on the town centre and

Man stabbed in street in Good Friday assault AN EIGHTEEN-year-old male has been charged after a man in his 30s was stabbed in the chest on Good Friday (April 19).

At around 7.40pm, emergency services were called to Birch Street near to the junction with Upper Aughton Road to attend to the man, who was taken to hospital for treatment for non-life threatening injuries.

Shaun Pilkington of Eastbourne Road, Birkdale was arrested a short time later.

He has been charged with section 18 wounding, cannabis cultivation and possession of an offensive weapon, and appeared at South Sefton Magistrates on Monday (April 22).

make it a perfect mixture to offer the best experience possible.

“Southport and Lytham St Anne's, where we also trade are both seaside towns but Lytham St Anne’s is blooming and that just goes to show that Southport can be revived.

“I have faith and so do others. You only need to see how much businessman Mike Ashley has spent on the former Waitrose store to turn it into Sports Direct, and how much Andrew Mikhail, owner of the Bold Hotel, the Lord Street Hotel and Punch Tarmeys bar, all in the Northern Quarter, have spent here to see how much faith they have in the town.

“Southport’s villages – Birkdale, Churchtown, Ainsdale – are absolutely thriving and doing so well. We just need to see the same perfect mix replicated on a larger scale in the town centre. The demand is so clearly there.

“But we need to play to the town’s strengths. You can reach three of the UK’s best golf courses within an hour from staying here, with Royal Birkdale right on our doorstep and that surely must be one of our most unique selling points!

“We should also bring in the national business angels scheme as well, where owners of successful businesses share their tips and ideas in help-sessions for start-ups who are just getting going.

“I’d love to help with exactly that kind of scheme so if anyone else would like to help me, or would like my help, please call me on 01704 546363.”

Pair jailed for targeted attack on man in shop Kallum Rimmer

Jack Wall

TWO men have been sentenced to more than four years in prison after chasing a man into a shop in Southport and stabbing him in the shoulder and buttock in an apparent gang feud.

At around 10.20pm on Wednesday, May 30, 2018, Kallum Rimmer, 24, and Jack Wall, 23, chased Jordan Gelling, 27, into a shop on Bispham Road. He attended hospital for treatment for non life-threatening wounds but did not assist police.

Following extensive CCTV and forensic enquiries, Rimmer, of no fixed abode and Wall of Bispham Road, Southport were charged and pleaded guilty. At Liverpool Crown Court on Wednesday, April 17, Wall was sentenced to two years and four months in prison for affray and possession of an offensive weapon, while Rimmer was sentenced to two years in prison for

affray. Speaking after their sentencing, Detective Inspector Tony O’Brien: “This was a shocking, targeted attack, which will see two dangerous people removed from the streets of Southport.

“To witness this incident would have been upsetting and my reassurance to the residents of the town is that we will continue to do all we can to find those responsible for any threats and violence and put them before the courts.

“If you provide information on where weapons are being used or stored, we will keep taking positive action. The use of knives has no place in our communities, and we work hard alongside our partners to target those who recklessly endanger others.”

Anyone with information on knife crime is asked to call 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

THE family of a 93 year old woman who has been “left in limbo” have hit out at not being able to move her to a care home closer to her family in Southport.

Dorothy Perkins, who currently lives at Sunnyside Residential Care Home, on Ullet Road, in Liverpool, was hoping to move to Hampton Court Care Centre, on Scarisbrick New Road, in Southport in January – but they say “unacceptable delays and miscommunications” about her care have left her unable to swap over for more than three months.

Dorothy, who suffers from arthritis and has reduced mobility, needs specialist equipment including hoists – and an argument has erupted after her family said that the home in Liverpool can’t release her without the correct equipment being ready at the next home – but the new home said that they can't have her equipment Dorothy Perkins ordered until she is registered with them.

Her family have said that they are at the such as hoists. The Liverpool authority “end of their tether” and have been going won't give the equipment to the Southport round in circles caught between the two – care home but the original home won’t let and now, her place at the new home 'timed her check out unless the equipment is in out' leaving them back at square one. place at the new home – and they can't Her sister in law Lynne Perkins told the register her as resident until her equipment Champion: “Dorothy currently lives in Liv- is in place. erpool and wants to move to Southport to “It's a joke, we are fuming.

A spokesperson for Sefton Council advised the Champion to speak to Hampton Court Care Centre (HCCC).

A spokesperson for HCCC said: “We assessed Miss Perkins as an out of area patient in January and had reserved her a room from then until last week.

“We tried to register her with a local GP in Southport and we also pressed her social worker to order her equipment in advance but we have struggled to have the issues resolved after trying very hard for this lady.

“The equipment was meant to come from Liverpool as she is their client but we haven't been able to obtain this. We would need to reassess her if another room became available as our assessments are only valid for two weeks. Ourselves and Sefton's Social Services did all that we could, the problems in the process are down to Liverpool. It's never taken us more than six weeks to move anyone before – and that's from all over the country.”

A spokesperson from Liverpool City Council said: “We recognise that there have been some delays in supporting Miss Perkins to move to her new home and we have been working closely with Miss Perkins and her family to ensure that she can move safely with the support of all agencies.

“We have explored all available options which has taken some time and we now expect that Miss Perkins will be able to move to her new home as soon as possible.”

Dog rescue centre slams shar pei breeder for shocking state of ‘conveyor belt pets’

‘It was beyond anything we had ever come across’ say distraught staff members Special Report by Danielle Thompson A SHAR pei breeder from Southport has been slammed by an animal rescue charity for the ‘absolutely shocking state’ of her dogs.

Wonky Pets Rescue Centre staff claim the breeder - named as Sarah Neil - took 15 shar peis to their sanctuary in Birmingham, but all were suffering a variety of conditions including one dog with a missing eye, and others with various skin conditions or underweight.

The centre shared a post on social media with photographs of some of the animals, including one male shar pei which had to be put to sleep.

One shocked staff member commented on the post: “We rescue a lot of pets but this is beyond anything we have ever come across.”

They described Neil as ‘one of the most prolific shar pei breeders in the UK’.

On the Pedigree Database website, Neil goes under the breeder name ‘Yuanpei’ and is officially listed as Sarah Neil from Manchester Road in Southport, although another website lists her address as Windsor Road, Southport.

The charity's vet bill to treat six of the dogs she took to them totalled £3,500, whilst the rest of the dogs also needed neutering, vaccinating and most needed micro-chipping.

A spokesperson for Wonky Pets said: “Many people have been coming forward with information and concerns about their own dogs and experiences with this breeder, Yuanpei Shar Peis.

“We rescue a lot of pets but this is beyond anything we have ever come across.

“After being alerted to dogs being sold on free-ads for as little as £50 we were then contacted by the breeder and asked to take the dogs that were left, most of them in an absolutely shocking state!

“We also know that she has already sold some others on and given a number of dogs and two litters of puppies to a relation to sell.

The charity claim Neil lied to them about her identity, originally giving a false name and describing herself as having ‘bred a few litters a few years ago’.

“Many of the dogs dropped off with us had horrific infected skin, were underweight and had horrible ear infections, but the most shocking of all were their eyes. Some even had their eyes ‘tacked open’ which we don’t believe were done by a vet.

“Anyone involved with shar

pei and who is aware of the Yuanpei affix will have heard of Ivan, the top blue stud dog that she so proudly boasted had fathered so many litters.

According to the Kennel Club register, 74 litters have been sired by Ivan- and that's just the ones she bothered registering - and with a stud fee of £1,000 a time we will leave you to do the maths.

“That's on top of the sale of the hundreds and hundreds of puppies that have been churned out like a conveyor belt over the years. Poor Ivan who made her so much money had to be put to sleep after going into acute renal failure.

“Just because these breeders have a flash website, breed a lot of dogs and tell you their dogs are Kennel Club registered, look behind the façade, these dogs are simply there to line their greedy pockets.”

John McInally, contacted the Champion after spotting the Wonky Pets post on social media.

Town basks in record Easter break From page 1

“At £5 an entrance fee to access the beach, Sefton's coffers could have been flooded with sorelyneeded cash. But the damage to Southport's tourism reputation will be immense.”

James Thomas, 32, from Ainsdale, added: “The toilets were vile, too disgusting to use and the bins were overflowing.

How about instead of sending traffic wardens, they could have sent a few cleaners instead!”

Back in the town centre, Jay Lodge, the manager of Antonio’s Ice Cream, which has three shops - two on Lord Street and a kiosk

by Southport Pier - said business ‘could not have been better’.

He said: “There are so many holidaymakers that come to our beautiful seaside town and you see a noticeable increase when the weather is hotter, it really makes the whole place flourish.”

On the issues at Ainsdale beach a spokesman for Sefton Council said: “Over the bank holiday weekend Ainsdale Beach was extremely busy due to the Easter Holidays and the warm weather.

breeder. He said: “I bought my dog from Sarah Neil, under her breeding name Yuanpei. She was up for sale for £1,000 but I offered less as she was already 12 weeks old - and she had another, younger litter for sale, at the same time, which also struck me as strange.

“Most reputable breeders don’t turn out so many puppies at once. When I saw the Wonky Pets post, I felt sick to my stomach, I can’t believe what could have happened to my lovely dog if I’d not bought her, she could have ended up a blind, underweight, money-making breeding dog.”

On the Pedigree Database

‘Just because these breeders have a flash website, breed a lot of dogs and tell you their dogs are Kennel Club registered, look behind the façade, these dogs are simply there to line their greedy pockets.’

Sarah Neil is described as a Kennel Cub Affiliate and a member of the Kennel Club Dog Owners Group. But a spokesperson for the Kennel Club said: “She is definitely not a Kennel Club Assured Breeder. The Kennel Club Dog Owners Group is not a legitimate group or scheme run or owned by the Kennel Club.”

The Champion has tried to contact Sarah Neil but without success.

A spokesman for Sefton Council said: “A list of licensed breeders is published on our website and a ‘Sarah Neil’ does not appear on that list. We take the welfare of all animals very seriously and will investigate any complaint and take any appropriate action. To report any animal welfare concerns please call Consumer Direct on 03454 040506."

An RSPCA spokesperson said: “We would always urge anyone with information about allegations like these to call our 24-hour cruelty line on 0300 1234 999.

“We would always advise people looking at taking on a puppy about the importance of doing research and using the ‘Puppy Contract’ and would urge anyone thinking of getting a dog to first consider rescuing a dog from the RSPCA - there are lots of dogs of all shapes and sizes, but if buying a puppy is the right option please use the Puppy Contract to help you responsibly source and buy a happy, healthy puppy.”

The Puppy Contract has been developed to empower puppy buyers and help them to avoid the problems that can arise from buying a puppy from an irresponsible breeder. It’s also a tool for responsible breeders to demonstrate the care they have taken in breeding and rearing happy, healthy puppies. It can be downloaded for free from puppycontract. org.uk

ing up to 10 metres high. As a result, Ainsdale Beach car park was closed from April 19 to April 21 to protect the safety of visitors, prevent damage to vehicles and limit pollution to the beach itself.

“This was a planned closure and extensive messaging took place to ensure visitors made alternative travel arrangements over the weekend. Our team monitored conditions and were able to operate reduced parking on Thursday, April 18 and Monday, April 22, with the car park open following the receding tide.

“Our Rangers and Cleansing team worked hard to keep on top of litter picking and bins but access to and from the beach yard was restricted due to parked vehicles blocking access.

“We also ensured that a bathroom attendant was on site from 10am to 7pm throughout the weekend. We are aware that there was an issue with a male toilet on Easter Sunday and this is being addressed today.

“Visitors are urged to report any issues with the toilets to the toilet attendant.”

Police raid industrial estate POLICE raided an industrial estate on Sugar Street in Aintree on Monday, April 15 for a second time as part of an ongoing investigation into car thefts.

A report was received on January 1 that a Mercedes car had been stolen from a driveway on Waterloo Road, Southport. The car had been fitted with a tracker and was traced to the industrial estate.

When police arrival at the warehouse on January 2, patrols found the car alongside a number of other vehicles and vehicle parts suspected to have been stolen.

Police say an extensive and thorough investigation” has been ongoing since, and forensic examination of vehicles and parts continues. As part of those enquiries, officers re-attended the location following the receipt of information from the community and further vehicles have been identified as suspected of being stolen. A van containing vehicle parts was seized alongside a car which was found in a car park on site and suspected of being stolen, and two off-road bikes.

Detective Sergeant Alan Nuttall said: “Our officers have done a great deal of meticulous

forensic work since the cars were discovered in January, and they continue to work tirelessly to gather intelligence, identify offenders and reunite any stolen cars with their owners.

“Our community teams continually work to ensure safety messages are reinforced with residents about ensuring their vehicles are safe such as parking in a well-lit area and keeping car keys out of sight.”

Police urge anyone who has any intelligence on anyone involved in this type of crime to contact them directly or through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

BID bosses hoping for another five year term to help town ‘thrive for years to come’ Ballot papers set to be dispatched to businesses Report by Danielle Thompson

SOUTHPORT BID chiefs are campaigning for a further five-year term to build on their ‘considerable achievements’ and to ensure the town ‘thrives for years to come’.

Business Improvement Districts (BIDS) have become an essential part of many towns and cities around the UK, each operating on the basis of a fiveyear term.

A BID is a defined area within which businesses are required to pay an additional tax (or levy) in order to fund projects within the district's boundaries. The services provided by BIDs are supplemental to those already provided by the local authority.

If voted for again by businesses in the town, then Southport BID would run from 2019 to 2024. As one of the largest in the country with 950 current members, the levy businesses contribute would bring around £2million across the five year term to be invested directly into the town. This, say BID bosses, is in addition to the investment that the BID would proactively attract into Southport.

They add that with a board made up of local independent businesses and on-going consultation with levy-payers, the direction of the BID is always in line with what is important to the retailers, restaurateurs, attractions and accommodation providers of Southport.

Rob Uffendell, chair of Southport BID told the Champion: “We know that increasing footfall and expenditure is key to the businesses that we represent, and that the creation of business opportunities is critical, as is securing investment opportunities for the town.

“The way that we will achieve success in these areas is through strong collaboration and partnership work, vibrant and colourful plans for our events programme and an ambitious belief in the inward investment that we can achieve.

“The Southport BID manifesto also gives the opportunity to highlight some of the major achievements made since 2014, all of which have laid foundations for the coming years.

“These include over £250,000 investment as the sole funders of Southport’s Christmas and all year round lights, funding Lord Street’s famous floral displays, and the launch of a Southport Independents Marketing Campaign, which gave vital exposure to the town’s incredible small businesses.

Rob Uffendell, chair of Southport BID

Hugh Evans, chief exec of town’s BID

“The BID has also worked closely with core local organisations as the voice for Southport’s businesses, including Sefton Council, Merseyside Police and Marketing Southport.

“Accomplishments have included the BID’s work to secure £2million from the Coast Community Fund in conjunction with Sefton Council and its ongoing leadership role in a National Lottery Heritage Fund bid that focuses upon the historic properties between Lord Street and the Promenade and aims to complement the restoration of King’s Gardens. It is also currently working on plans to submit an application to the Government’s recently launched High Street improvement fund.”

Mr Uffendell continued: “The vibrancy of Southport and the events that take place to add to the core season is one of the ways that the BID work’s for the whole of Southport. These include putting on major Christmas events, including the ice rink and switch-on alongside the annual Halloween Festival.

“The BID also funds other big drivers to the town, such as the annual Southport Festival taking place next month.

“The plans for 2019 to 2024 include even more emphasis on marketing the creation of exciting new events in the town, promoting the nighttime economy and investment into ongoing regeneration to make Southport an even better place to be.”

Hugh Evans, chief executive of Southport BID added: “We came into operation during a challenging time for towns and cities up and down the

country, and it’s an environment that’s remained ever-changing.

“Against this background we’ve seen the role of the BID grow in importance within Southport as a positive force for marketing, events and town centre improvements and resources, as well as attracting and securing vital inward investment.

“As a voice for businesses we’ve also been able to provide powerful private sector representation to protect the interests of our members.

“Our achievements are already considerable, and a second five year term would give us the chance to build on these, ensuring a thriving Southport for years to come. BIDS are a model that bring collaboration, co-operation and representation, all of which are core to the success of any town today.”

The Southport BID Ballot papers will be dispatched to businesses on May 6, with the result being announced on June 4, 2019. All Southport Businesses within the BID district with a ratable value threshold of above £7,000 will be eligible to vote. l What do Southport’s levy-paying traders think of the BID’s achievements so far? Are you backing the BID to serve a second five-year term?

The CAMRA Southport Mild Trail

‘Mild trail’ for beer buffs will take in eight pubs and bars in town!

BEER lovers who complete a ‘mild trail’ across eight pubs and bars across Southport will be eligible to take part in a Grand Prize Draw to win beer-based prizes!

The Southport and West Lancs branch of the Campaign for Real Ale are hosting the Mild Trail throughout May at the following pubs, all in Southport: the Beer Den in Duke Street, the Bold Arms in Churchtown, the Cheshire Lines in King Street, Corridor on Lord Street, the Guest House on Union Street, the Grasshopper on Sandon Road in Hillside, Southport and Birkdale Sports Club on Trafalgar Road and the Windmill Inn in Seabank Road.

Report by Danielle Thompson TRIBUTES have been paid to a drummer turned plumber from Southport who has died following a long illness.

Ken Geill, who was 88, was born on Heysham Road in High Park. He was the last surviving member of the Brooklyn Trio, later known as the Brooklyn Showband, who supported the likes of Victor Sylvester and Sir Harry Secombe.

They played at venues in Sefton and Lancashire from the 1950s to the 1980s including The Palace Hotel, The Riverside, Merebrow Club, The Brooklyn Caravan Club and St Stevens in Banks.

The group, which also included vocalist Lou Fashoni, Frank Jones on keyboard, Bill Hughes and Peter Bond both on double bass, played ballroom, beat, old time and Latin American music and supported some of the biggest names in showbiz at the time including big band leader Victor Sylvester and Sir Harry Secombe.

Ken trained up to become a plumber in 1950 and traded as Ken Geill Plumbing and Central Heating engineer. The father of four passed away after a long battle with Alzheimer's Disease at his home on Old Park Lane in Southport, leaving behind his daughters Diane and Lynda, son Stephen, four grandchildren and one

great-grandchild. His daughter, Diane Saunders, said: “Ken was so well known in Southport. He was a gentleman. I have been told by so many people that they will miss him. “He was charming and he always had a smile on his face. He never had a bad word to say about anyone. “My dad enjoyed music all his life and held weekly meet-ups with musician friends well into his seventies.

When he became ill, he would still enjoy listening to them playing. He actually took up the organ in his sixties and was very good at that too. “He bought a little holiday studio in Spain and some of my happiest memories are of time the family spent there, relaxing and laughing.�

Mark’s blog on grief over his wife’s sudden death has brought comfort to thousands Dad wants to challenge perceptions of how men cope with loss Report by Kenny Parker

A MAN who started writing a blog after his wife died suddenly at the age of just 35, has seen his words touch a chord with people from all works of life and he has now been asked to write a feature for a national charity.

Mark Wilcock’s life was turned upside down in the “blink of an eye” when his wife Katherine, who comes from Maghull, passed away from Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS) in May 2017.

Mark, 39, decided to start writing a blog to support other young Mark Wilcock and daughter Margot. people who lost their partners.

His blog challenges perceptions of how men should grieve and he has now been called upon to write features for national charity Widowed & Young.

Mark’s wife had not been aware of having the condition as SADS is commonly only diagnosed after a person dies because it is so hard to detect.

Mark, who lives in Southport, was in massive shock following her death.

The young couple had only been married two years and had been planning for their and their then eight-month old daughter Margot’s future.

Despite presenting himself as the superhero dad, he says he was ‘floored’ by grief for a long time and found there was little support for young men who find themselves widowed.

The father of one, who works as a learning technologist at Edge Hill University, where Katherine also worked and where they met, started a blog to help him come to terms with what happened and also to support other young men who have been widowed.

Communicate He then found himself receiving messages from all kinds of people who found comfort in his writings.

“I desperately wanted to express all the experiences and emotions I had fought through,” he said.

“So, 22 months after Katherine’s death, I published my first blog post. Within a month it had received over 5,000 visits. Currently the national charity, Widowed & Young have asked me to write features, for its Father’s Day and Men’s Wellbeing campaigns.

“My intention wasn’t to discover answers.

“My aim was to communicate the themes of loss and grief for men.

“To support people just like me and give some insight into the answers I originally fought for.

“I also really want to challenge the perceptions of male grief and the entire ‘Harden up’, ‘Man up’ and ‘Suck it up’ medal of honour.

“The blog however, attracted people from different walks of life united in their own immediate loss, or their care and concern for grieving loved ones.

“All sorts of people started to get in touch: women and not just men; old not just young; people who

Sefton Life savers to swim 22 miles in aid of Diabetes UK charity ADULT members from the Sefton-based Life Saving Club are currently undertaking a sponsored swim in aid of Diabetes UK, to swim a distance of 22 miles, i.e. from England to France in the space of 12 weeks.

The team made up of Life Saving instructors and members from the adult group, are swimming together to help raise funds for more research into diabetes, and

to promote awareness of diabetes and available treatments.

There are two types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2.

Diabetes is where the blood glucose level becomes too high. Both type 1 and type 2 can be serious if not treated correctly.

Life Saving Club - based at The Meadows Leisure Centre in Maghull - has supported many charities over the

years, and in 2019, the group decided to support Diabetes UK and undertake a distance challenge.

100% of donations received will go to Diabetes UK. If people would like to donate to the charity, they can find further information at www.diabetes.org.uk,.

Event shines advice on empty homes

A SUCCESSFUL event was held to help property owners with empty homes across the Merseyside area.

The recent advice session at Liverpool Town Hall was attended by more than 80 owners and landlords and as a result, the Sub Regional Empty Homes Group are planning for the event to be held annually.

Neil Davies, Sefton Council’s housing and investment service manager said: “The success of this

event demonstrates the effectiveness of joining forces with other local authorities and the desire among property owners to bring their empty homes back into use.

“We offered a range of advice and support to property owners relating to Council Tax queries, building control issues, property accreditation and much more - topics that often stop landlords putting empty homes back into use. I would certainly encourage owners of empty properties to attend

one of these events in the future or simply call our Housing Standards team to find out more.”

The event also promoted calls from home owners who could not attend, seeking advice and support.

Managing agents accredited with Sefton’s Managing Agent Accreditation scheme attended the event and offered advice on how to let and sell a property. For more information, call Elizabeth Walsh on 0345 140 0845.

Report by Danielle Thompson A CAMPAIGN is underway to bring an NHS walk-in centre in Southport.

There is currently no such facility in north Sefton, although there are walk-in centres in Ormskirk, Skelmersdale and Litherland.

Walk-in centres offer treatment for minor ailments and injuries for patients who are away from home or whose regular GP service is not available.

They tend to be open for longer hours than GP surgeries and an appointment isn’t needed. They also help take pressure off accident and emergency services.

The campaign is being backed by Sefton Central MP Bill Esterson who is calling on residents in Formby and Southport to sign an online petition set up by Southport’s Labour Parliamentary candidate Liz Savage.

Mr Esterson said: “A walk-in centre would offer vital extra health facilities for the people of Southport and Formby. They provide crucial extra capacity for the health service to treat people quickly when they need it, and they take pressure off A&E. “A walk-in centre can offer a far more efficient way to deal with less serious issues and helps to keep people out of A&E. It would mean children don't have to travel 10 miles to Ormskirk to get treatment for minor injuries.

“I will be writing to the Secretary of State urging him to step in and provide the resources that are needed to make this happen.”

A spokesperson for the Sefton Health and Care Transformation Programme, the body who would be tasked with bringing a walk-in centre to the area, said: “We are working to develop a long-term and sustainable future for all health, care and wellbeing services across Sefton.

Proposals “Our partnership work, with providers and commissioners is focused on a number of key areas which include, preventing illnesses where possible, as well as, community-based and sustainable acute care. We are at an early stage of planning and have not yet worked-up specific proposals about how services will be delivered in the future.

“But we will ensure that both our workforce, and the people of Sefton are fully engaged in the development of those options.”

A spokesperson from NHS Southport and Formby CCG added: “To give residents more access to health services we launched the seven day GP service in Southport and Formbyin evenings and at weekends 365 days a year.”

“We’d like to remind residents that pharmacies can also offer advice on minor health conditions and 111 via telephone or online can advise you on the best NHS service to use should you or a family member become ill.”

The CCG declined to comment specifically on any campaign for a Southport walk-in centre.

Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust also refused to comment despite Mr Esterson claiming its chief executive, Silas Nicholls, ‘wants to see a walk-in centre in Southport’.

Report by Henry James A FESTIVAL of golf is being lined up by Sefton Council to coincide with the arrival of the British Masters tournament to Hillside.

As the borough prepares to welcome thousands of golf fans for the British Masters tournament, a week of golfing activities is taking place at Southport Golf Links and Bootle Golf Course from May 4 -12.

The festival is to appeal to both beginners and existing golfers, of all ages and ability, and is supported by the European Tour and former Southport Golf Links junior member, Tommy Fleetwood.

Tommy, a Ryder Cup winner, is hosting the British Masters and his career began nearly 20 years ago at Sefton Council’s Municipal Golf Course on Park Road West, Southport.

Included in the festival is free junior golf, foot and disc golf, free coaching and a longest putt challenge. All of this activity will centre on Southport Golf Links but the free junior golf will also run at Bootle Golf Course during the week.

There is also the unique opportunity for individuals to get involved in the lonely hearts golf where golfers can find a partner to play a round with. All the fun competitions will be free to enter and this includes a 3-club challenge with some excellent prizes too.

Mark Shaw, Sefton Council's Green Sefton manager, said: “As Sefton prepares to welcome thousands of visitors to the British Masters in May, we thought we would celebrate this through our own festival.

Sefton Council's Municipal Golf Course.

Inset: Tommy Fleetwood

“Southport Golf Links will be a hive of activity from May 4 -12 and the course, hailed as one of the very best municipal courses in the country, has helped produce top talent in Tommy Fleetwood, Lee Slattery and Matthew Baldwin. All three were members of Park Golf Club who use Southport Municipal as their course in an ongoing partnership with Sefton Council and the trio are supporting our festival as well.

“Through our own festival it’s a chance for anyone interested in the game to get involved no matter how old or your ability. There really is something for everyone with events taking place in Bootle as well.

“We want the British Masters and our own festival to leave a legacy especially among younger people, boys and girls, to enjoy this fabulous sport.”

The British Masters hosted by Tommy Fleetwood will mark the European Tour’s first visit to Hillside since 1982 when Tony Jacklin won the Sun Alliance PGA Championship – the precursor to the BMW PGA Championship.

Granada News filmed a 'typical day' at the home

Birkdale home takes centre stage in ITV news feature on social care Report by Danielle Thompson A CARE home in Birkdale was chosen to feature in a social care segment on ITV regional news programme, Granada Reports.

Birkdale Park Nursing Home on Lulworth Road, which has an Outstanding rating by the CQC, was selected to highlight present social care in England, and aired on television on Easter Monday.

Care home manager Jonathan Cunningham told the Champion: “We were hugely flattered to be approached by ITV - but not surprised.

“We have some of the very best staff, we love our gorgeous residents and their relatives. This is what we do.

“We are all deeply passionate about

We all enjoyed seeing the special news feature about us on TV. “The ITV film crew captured a typical day with staff and residents at Birkdale Park. The crew interviewed me on the impact that Brexit had on the delay to the Social Care Green Paper and how social care could be improved.

“They then filmed staff and interviewed senior carer Chelsey Irwin who was then filmed serving lunch and dancing with my former school master and army veteran James Highton to old wartime songs.

“The film crew led by presenter Hannah Miller was on site for three hours and had a fabulous time.”

Businesses urged to do more for staff who are domestic abuse victims Report by Tom Martin SEFTON businesses are being urged to do more to help staff who are victims of domestic abuse.

Merseyside’s Police Commissioner Jane Kennedy has launched the Merseyside Domestic Abuse Workplace scheme in partnership with the region’s Metro Mayor, Steve Rotheram.

The initiative has been set-up to give employers the tools, resources and training to respond when a member of staff is at risk of domestic abuse.

This includes helping employers to provide a safe space where staff affected by domestic abuse can talk confidentially, via a network of trained volunteer ‘Champions,’ who will ensure vulnerable colleagues are signposted to support when they need it most.

Businesses that sign up to the initiative will have designated members of staff who volunteer to become ‘Workplace Champions’ helping to spot the signs of possible abuse and providing advice, offer support and ensure victims are directed to outreach workers or specialist support where needed.

Jane Kennedy said: “Domestic Abuse has a profound effect on families at home, but it also costs businesses £1.9billion every year in decreased productivity, time off work and sick pay.

Workplace scheme is launched by crime chief

Merseyside’s Police Commissioner Jane Kennedy

“Domestic abuse is everyone’s business and that’s why I am encouraging employers – small and large, public and private – to sign up to join this initiative. For some people, work may be the only safe place they have from abuse and violence and it is important that employers recognise and understand the hugely important role they can have in helping someone who may be suffering.

“By having a safe space within work,

safe domestic abuse policies and properly trained ‘Champions’ who are able to listen and provide the right support and guidance to a vulnerable individual, that employer is in a unique position to potentially help a victim to take those all-important first steps in breaking the cycle of abuse.”

Steve Rotheram, Metro Mayor of the Liverpool City Region said: “Domestic abuse is a devastating crime that affects millions of people in England and Wales each year but, all too often, it is a crime that goes unreported.

“The Workplace Champion Scheme will build upon some of the brilliant work being done across the region to raise awareness of domestic abuse and support victims, and survivors, to get the help they need.

“We hope that by giving employers the tools, resources and training to respond when a member of staff is at risk of domestic abuse we will be able to support vulnerable people in the work place.”

EU elections: Countdown underway despite Brexit uncertainty IT'S not just local council elections that voters in Sefton are due to take part in next month the countdown for the European Parliament elections is also underway despite the continuing uncertainty over Brexit.

After the Local Elections on Thursday, May 2, residents in the North West will then face the prospect of having to turn their attention to the EU elections to select the region’s eight Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) on Thursday, May 23.

The North West European Elections count and declaration is then due to take place in Manchester on Sunday, May 26, after polls close across Europe.

Initially, the elections were not planned as the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union following the 2016 referendum was set for March 29, 2019.

With the Brexit deadline delayed until autumn, Britain will still be an EU member when elections for the EU Parliament get underway and the UK will be required to put forward parliamentary candidates.

If the British parliament votes on a Brexit deal before May 22 (the eve of the elections), that will mean the UK won’t have to hold EU elections If the elections go ahead, it will be the ninth time the United Kingdom elects MEPs to the European Parliament. Candidate nominations must be submitted by 4pm today (Wednesday, April 24).

It is uncertain for how long, if at all, British MEPs will sit before the Brexit withdrawal process is complete, as the extension agreement provides for early termination as soon as the withdrawal agreement is ratified.

Bootle-born Paul Nuttall (pictured right) - one of eight MEPs for North West England - has said he will not be standing in the upcoming EU election.

In a statement, the former UKIP leader

who now sits with the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy group in the EU Parliament, said: “I never thought this European election would happen; nor should it. We should have left the European Union on March 29, as promised.

“I do not intend to stand in this election. I do, however, encourage people in the North West to vote for the Brexit Party. The battle to free ourselves from the shackles of the EU must continue.

“For my part it has been an honour and a pleasure to represent the people of the North West in the European Parliament for the past decade.”

Joanne Roney OBE, Regional Returning Officer for the European Parliament Elections in the North West, said: “While the circumstances around these elections are somewhat unexpected, this election gives people the opportunity to elect the politicians who will represent them in Europe until such point as the UK leaves the European Union.

“Election teams across the North West are focused on the effective organisation of these elections and we don’t want anyone to miss out on their right to vote because they are not registered.”

People will not be able to vote unless they have ensured they are on the Electoral Register. If you are not registered already, visit http://www. gov.uk/register-to-voteand register by the Tuesday, May 7 deadline.

European Union citizens living in Sefton are eligible to vote in either the UK or in their country of origin but not both.

To vote in the UK, they must be registered to vote and have completed an additional form.

Anyone who is on the electoral register can choose to register to vote by post. Applications for a postal vote in this election must be received by 5pm on Wednesday, May 8. The deadline for proxy votes is 5pm on Wednesday,

May 15. To find out more visit www.yourvotematters.co.uk A full list of candidates for the European Parliament Elections will be published at 5pm on Thursday, April 25.

The European Parliament Elections are run using a form of proportional representation. Voters have one vote only, and this can be cast for either a political party or an individual candidate.

Each political party puts forward a list of candidates for the North West and the number of MEPs that are elected will depend on the overall share of the vote that a party or individual candidate receives in the region.

MEPs represent the whole of the North West region and so everybody who is eligible to vote in the region will be voting for the same list of parties and candidates.

Life-saving defib is installed at Busy Bees nursery STAFF and youngsters at a nursery were abuzz with excitement when life-saving equipment was installed at their premises.

A new automated external defibrillator is now in place at Busy Bees on Lulworth Road as part of the nursery's commitment to safeguarding children, staff, parents and visitors in the event of a cardiac arrest.

It was installed in time to mark Family Safety Week, earlier this month, as part of a nationwide campaign that has seen the chain of nurseries introduce 350 AEDs at their businesses across the country, to boost the survival chances of people who have a cardiac arrest.

The AED, supplied by Cardiac Science, has both adult and paediatric pads. It was specially chosen as it provides both text and voice prompts to the rescuer to enable them to remain focused during the high-pressure situation.

The nursery team were joined by first aid trainers from BB Training following the installation of the AED, which has been fitted inside the nursery. Training sessions were delivered to staff, demonstrating how to use the AED and deliver CPR.

Sharon Mackenzie (left),nursery manager at Busy Bees with Amy Frain, one of the parents of the nursery children.

Karen Bird, head of first aid at BB Training said: “Every year in the UK there are 30,000 out of hospital cardiac arrests, with a survival rate of fewer than 1 in 10.

“Part of this devastating statistic is that 270 children pass away from a sudden cardiac arrest. Installing more AEDs in nurseries, schools, businesses and public spaces, can only help to save lives and we hope other organisations will follow suit, as every minute counts when someone has a cardiac arrest.”

Sharon Mackenzie, nursery manager at Busy Bees Southport

said: “Protecting and safeguarding the children in our care is our top priority and that’s why we’ve undertaken this potentially lifesaving initiative. We see it as part of our commitment to best practice and to deliver outstanding care to our children, as well as to protect staff, parents and visitors.

“Although we hope that our defibrillator never has to be used, it means that if the worstcase scenario happens, we are able to increase the survival chance of anyone who has a cardiac arrest inside or within minutes of our nursery.”

State-of-the-art care home nears completion A £15m care home in Formby is now just weeks away from completion.

New Care’s 4000sqm 76-bed care facility ‘Formby Manor’ on Liverpool Road is due to open in the summer.

Contractors on site are working to ensure the development remains ahead of schedule and ready for its planned opening in June, creating 90 jobs.

The facility will offer resid-

ential, nursing and specialist dementia care services, while advanced care services will be provided including additional acoustic monitoring and silent call bells. Each bedroom will feature an en-suite wet room, while the home itself will offer communal lounges, dining rooms, spa assisted bathrooms, landscaped gardens, a hair salon and nail bar.

New Care chief executive Chris McGoff said: “It’s less

than two months until we open Formby Manor and I am delighted with the progress that is being made on site.

Build is advancing into the final stages and the team is already working on the interior so we’re well on track to complete in June.”

THE next military-themed event at the Heatons Bridge Inn in Scarisbrick is scheduled for the weekend of April 27 and 28.

Military enthusiasts have been meeting at the venue for more than 50 years and the group is now formally recognised as the Mid-Lancs Area of the national Military Vehicle Trust.

The group hosts meetings every six months featuring a display of military vehicles, weapons and equipment.

Heatons Bridge Inn, which is run by Steve and Jacqui Winrow and located on Heatons Bridge Road, has retained a Second World War free-standing brick pillbox which formed part of the Home Guard defence provisions on the grounds. As done previously, it is planned to set up a small Home Guard display inside the pillbox to give visitors a ‘feel’ of what it might have been like for a soldier to have been holed up there.

Anyone with a military or

Thriller dancers wanted!

Electric vehicle charging points approved at store ELECTRIC car charging points have been approved for installation at a supermarket site in Hesketh Bank.

An application for four rapid electric vehicle (EV) charging stations using existing spaces at Booths store car park was submitted by Instavolt, which installs and operates EV charging stations across the UK. A report from the borough council’s Senior Environment Officer, Gill Perkins, expressed concerns about the potential for noise from vehicle engines, doors banging, and associated

people noise if electric vehicle charging points are accessed during the night.

However, Director Of Regeneration and Development, John Harrison, pointed out “the extent of activity associated with the charging points is not considered to be significant to warrant a restriction on times of use.”

Mr Harrison granted permission for the charging stations, using delegated powers.

Booths says the charging points will be available to use on a pay-as-you-go 25/01/2019 10:25 basis.

The annual golf day, to take place at Hesketh Golf Club on Monday, September 2, is always a key fundraising day for the Crosby-based club.

Marine Association Football Club was founded in the summer of 1894 by a group of South Road shopkeepers in a meeting held in the Marine Hotel in Waterloo with the idea of setting up a football team

for their sons. The cost for a team of four players is £395 and includes a three course evening meal at which the presentation of prizes will be made to the successful golfers.

Registration takes place around midday.

Marine Chairman Paul Leary said: “We have staged our annual golf day for the last two years at Hesketh Golf Club and for this year’s very special tournament we had no hesitation in choosing the same venue as the course, facilities

“I look forward to having a wonderful day to help celebrate, what is, a great achievement for our football club.”

Any teams interested in entering the tournament should contact Paul Leary on 07855 275 722 or by email on learymarine@aol.com Information about Hesketh Golf Club and its superb course and facilities can be found on www.heskethgolfclub.co.uk

HELLO! I’m Tina - Jim’s real dog.

A bit ago now I wrote his ‘Dog’ column for him - I can’t remember if he was poorly, away, or just sulking.

It went down so well that Jimbo wouldn’t let me have another go - ’till now - and that’s only because he’s busy planning for our next holiday on our river boat in some far off place which means a long and boring confinement in a motor vehicle.

I quite like it compared to the car Cinders and I used to travel in. This one is called a Galaxy and is bigger and better for dogs. We have the back bit all to ourselves, with a special carpet to lie on. Very nice.

We look forward to our holidays because we get new walks every time the boat stops.

And the other people on their other boats are often very nice too. You'd be surprised at how many have doggies too on the Broads (which I think is where we are when we're there).

I like meeting other dogs - most of them anyway and also other people who usually have the good sense to admire me.

Cinders likes anybody who has a dog with them as she’s worked out that if they will very probably have dog biscuits as well.

And being the greedy little pig she is, she thinks (usually rightly) that they will offer her some.

Talking of getting things, I met a lovely lady the other day. She had called when we were out - and left a note saying she would call back again, along with a bag of dog treats.

Well, anyone who has the forethought to do that MUST be kind and good.

Cinder got so cross though when she did return.

Jim's got her covered - he knows she is the greediest creature on earth and will eat anything - and the wrappers. And she has the daft habit of pestering anyone foolish enough to offer her food.

So when the nice lady came, Jim shut her in her bedroom.

She never got the chance to beg for more treats from the nice lady, which was probably just as well.

She thought I behaved beautifully - I just lay curled up on Jim’s chair and made occasional muted woofs to remind her I was on guard.

I didn’t get any more treats - but praise can be just

with JIM SHARPE

LIFE ON

as sweet. And when she went, Jim was in a good mood and praised me for behaving as a Good Dog should.

I’ve seen such a lot of really happy dogs recently. I think most of their ‘owners’ - I’m not certain if that is an appropriate word, it doesn't sound politically correct to me - must be very kind and love them lots.

When I was a puppy, long ago now, I thought my name was Hey You for a while. But it didn't really matter because I knew I was safe and secure.

And talking of which, and our holidays on our boat, in all the years I've been going there I have fallen into the waterwww.lifeoncars.co.uk only twice.

Once when I as just a pup and I slipped on the wet deck getting off, and once on a very dark night when I went ashore to do my ablutions and, silly me, literally walked into the river ‘cause I couldn't see properly.

Cinders, my junior when it comes to boating, has fallen in several times.

Her trouble is that she doesn't seem to realise she has a back end. Once her front paws are safely on the bank she tends to forget her rear half - and her back legs disappear into the gap 'twixt boat and bank and, kerplop, in she goes.

And unlikewith me, who just stays by the boat when I have fallen in, idiot Cinders often swims over to the DAVID SIMISTER opposite shore and tries to get out there - which meant one dark night poor old Jim having to untie www.lifeoncars.co.uk the boat and go over to the opposite bank to retrieve her. Silly Cinders.

Anyway, must go now, walkies await.

‘Health and Wellbeing’ day for people affected by brain injury A ‘Health and Wellbeing’ day has been organised for people who have been affected by a brain injury, with singing, boccia and relaxation on the agenda.

The Brain Haemorrhage Support Group (BHSG), which has members across Sefton and West Lancashire, will join with other organisations to provide the event which will take place at The Brain Charity, Norton Street, on Monday May 13 between

10:30am and 3:30pm. The event, which is free to attend is aimed at anyone affected, either directly or as a carer, by a brain haemorrhage or any other neurological condition. It will give a taster of the wide range of activities and complementary therapies that many people have found helpful for their conditions.

Linda O’Hara, from Maghull, who experienced a sudden bleed on the brain in 2011, is co-chair of BHSG.

She said: “The event is open to all whatever your level of ability or mobility. You will be able to try your hand at a whole range of activities including singing with the choir, boccia (a form of chair-based bowls), reiki and relaxation techniques, so come along and get inspired to try something new!”

For more information about BHSG find them on Facebook or see website www.bhsupport.org.uk/.

Alex Huber senior teacher at the group said: “The Mayor was so nice and welcoming. He was very informative and told us all about the workings of the local council, and their plans for the future. There was even time for one of the students to try on the mayoral robes and conduct a mock debate in the Council Chamber.”

Graham Nash. Photo by Amy Grantham

SINGER-SONGWRITER Graham Nash hits the road in July for a new batch of UK tour dates as he continues to support the release of Over the Years…, a two-disc collection of Nash’s best-known songs from the past 50 years plus more than a dozen unreleased demos and mixes.

The UK tour begins on July 16 at Southport Theatre with stops in Halifax, Oxford, Cardiff, Folkestone, Bath and London’s Alexandra Palace Theatre.

In addition, Nash will be featured at both the Wickham Festival on August 1 and the Cambridge Folk Festival, August 2.

Nash will be accompanied by longtime collaborator and 2016 album This Path Tonight producer, Shane Fontayne on guitars and vocals, and former CSN keyboard player and vocalist, Todd Caldwell.

Nash and friends will perform songs from his days in the Hollies through his years with Crosby, Stills & Nash and from his beloved solo recordings, weaving anecdotes and tales from his 50year career throughout the evening.

Towering above virtually everything that Graham Nash has accomplished in his long career stands the litany of songs he has written and introduced to

the soundtrack of the past half-century.

His body of work, beginning with his contributions to the Hollies opus, including Stop Stop Stop and Carrie Anne, his signature CSN (&Y) offerings like Teach Your Children, Our House and Marrakesh Express and his solo standouts Chicago/We Can Change the World and Military Madness.

Among glowing reviews for his recent tour dates, Classic Rock said: “A magical evening celebrating the work of a talented musician and of music that helped define a generation.” The Daily Mail concluded: “Witty and warm, it’s a Nash hit.” And No Depression proclaimed: “Nash walked the audience through his catalogue, a rich tapestry of music spanning more than five decades, accompanied by Shane Fontayne on guitar and vocals. The strength of the material and the resilience in Nash’s voice made for a wonderful evening. And, as the crowd soon discovered, the new songs were every bit as vital as the classic anthems they came to hear."

Graham Nash is a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee and twotime Songwriter Hall of Fame Inductee, Grammy Award winner, a New York Times best-selling author, and Officer of the Order of the British Empire (O.B.E.).

Season starts with a thriller as Formby beat S&B by one wicket THE sun shone brightly last weekend as the Liverpool & District Cricket Competition got underway with all our local clubs in action, writes Glenn Wallworth.

On Monday a bumper crowd at Cricket Path saw Formby edge out a thrilling one wicket win over Southport & Birkdale.

S&B batted first and declared just after tea on 220-9, with opener Brad Yates (53), debutant Will Affleck (25) and Angus Gailey (22) all in good touch, while the wickets were shared between six of the seven bowlers.

In reply Ollie Sutton (59), Sam Oldham (64) and Elliot Ketteringham (32) all helped take the hosts to 186-5 before four wickets tumbled leaving Formby on 210-9 in the 48th over with Amlyn Layton and Sabbir Patel at the crease.

The final pair then took the hosts to 221-9 to wrap up a closely fought victory with just two balls remaining.

Layton finshed on 2* and Patel 9*, while spinners Gary Keedy 3-67 and Chris Firth 3-24 were denied the one final wicket that would have won them the match.

Reigning Premier Division champions Northern began their campaign with a comfortable eight wicket home win against Rainhill.

The visitors elected to bat with Sean Vandome (91) top scoring in their total of 168, as the majority struggled to cope with spinner Tom Sephton who finished with 6-40.

In reply, debutant Taylor Cornall top scored with 75, fellow opener Liam Grey hit 44 and Chris Laker was unbeaten on 43* as the hosts cruised to victory on 171-2.

Last season’s runners up Ormskirk suffered a narrow two run defeat at newly promoted Orrell Red Triangle who were playing their first ever match in the top tier.

The hosts chose to bat and thanks to Richard Everett (78) and Siddiq Patel (40) were able to post 193 up on the board, with Lancashire’s new signing Tom Hartley taking 4-43 and the returning Jamie Barnes 4-24.

In reply, debutant Tyler McGladdery top scored with 77, Ian Robinson made 35 and another Lancashire signing George Lavelle hit 30, but their efforts were in vein as Sam Heeley (3-21) took the final wicket with the score on 191 to wrap up a thrilling win, with Afaq Ali Sartaj taking 3-53.

Bootle suffered a twelve run defeat at New Brighton, where the hosts chose to bat and thanks to 83 from skipper Andrew Clarke, an unbeaten 30 from Mark Hale and 24 from David While were able to post 190 up on the scoreboard, with debutant Jhangir Liaqat 3-40 and Will Purser 3-78 taking most of the wickets to fall.
