‘LOW CARB’ DOCTOR SAVING LIVES WITH RADICAL DIET PLAN GP’s ‘lifestyle treatment’ for patients with type 2 diabetes means spending less money on drugs so helps the NHS too Report by Danielle Thompson A ‘LOW carb’ GP from Southport who has helped more than 50 patients to put their diabetes into remission by transforming their diet is calling for more people to adopt the lifestyle to ‘save lives’ as well as saving funds for the NHS. Last year Dr David Unwin, also known as the ‘low-carb GP’, handed back £57,000 of unspent money from his surgery ’s drugs budget by encouraging his type-two diabetes patients to ditch sugary foods, rice, pasta and potatoes, and eat more fish, meat, eggs and lots of green vegetables.

The doctor, from the Norwood Surgery Dr David Unwin on Norwood Avenue in Southport, is set “This is a serious epidemic. But what is to discuss lifestyle prescription and the brilliant is I’m seeing patients – on a weekly benefits of eating low-carb at Diabetes Pro- basis – who are putting their diabetes into fessional Care 2018 (DPC2018), which takes remission without having used any drugs at place on November 14 and 15. all.

Dr Unwin said: “I’m really interested in “Not only are we saving the NHS and the empowering patients by giving them life- government large amounts of money on style choices in a bid to overturn their type 2 medication, but we’re literally transforming diabetes. their lives at the same time.

But Dr Unwin believes two diabetes. opinions are starting to shift.

He added: “There’s been immense progress and more change is coming, the pioneering approach is really shaking up the healthcare industry.

“We’re seeing more research showing how safe eating a lowcarb diet really is and the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) – the Scottish equivalent of NICE – now even supports this dietary choice.

“On top of that, the Royal College of Practitioners has published a low-carb e-learning module which is available to all their 52,000 GPs and both Diabetes UK and the British Diabetic Association also recognise diet as an option.

“More and more healthcare professionals are contacting me now to enquire about the low-carb diet.

“I’m being contacted by GPs all over the country who want to see me in surgery and I now have a waiting list.

“I’m hopeful that by presenting at DPC2018 I’ll be able to enlighten attendees and educate them about the huge benefits that the low-carb diet can bring to their patients.”

DPC2018 is the UK’s only national, free-toattend and CPD-accredited conference for healthcare professionals involved in the prevention, treatment and management of diabetes, and its related conditions. Taking place at London’s Olympia on November 14 and November 15, it invites delegates to attend presentations and workshops on a variety of topics, such as the childhood obesity strategy, type two diabetes reversal and diabetes burnouts.

Blind war veteran to join Remembrance Day march at the Cenotaph

By Danielle Thompson A BLIND Second World War veteran from Southport is to march at the Cenotaph in London this Remembrance Sunday (November 11).

Vernon Kendall, 93, will take part in the national Remembrance commemorations on Sunday with more than 100 other blind veterans supported by Blind Veterans UK, the national charity for visionimpaired ex-Service men and women.

This year the commemorations are particularly significant as the nation marks the centenary of the end of the First World War. Vernon, a Second World War veteran, joined the Royal Air Force in January 1944 and served until 1947, attaining the rank of sergeant and receiving three general service medals.

He said: “It will be a very special occasion for me and a great experience to be there thanks to Blind Veterans UK who have made it possible.

“The RAF was what every young lad I knew at the time wanted to be part of.

“I made friends for life and I will never forget the camaraderie we had. On Remembrance Sunday I’m sure all those memories will come flooding back.”

After leaving the RAF, Vernon went and worked alongside his cousin in a saw mill where he oversaw the maintenance of all the machinery in the mill. Prior to his service Vernon was the youngest postman the country had ever seen, joining the postal service at the age of 15.

Vernon first started losing his sight in 1998 due to macular degeneration, but has also since been diagnosed with glaucoma.

This has not stopped Vernon from Vernon Kendall enjoying life to the full.

Vernon said: “I have just accepted Since becoming a member of Blind Veterans UK in my sight loss as something that happens in life. early 2017, Vernon has visited his local Blind Veterans “I have a lovely group of friends who are always will- UK centre in Llandudno over five times and has been ing to call around and we all go to the jazz club equipped with equipment to help manage daily tasks, together. including a big screen to help him read letters, a mag“The support I have received from Blind Veterans UK nifier and a tablet with special software adapted for a has been fantastic.

Patients needed to give opinions on how well GP practices are working HEALTHWATCH Sefton wants to hear from local residents about what is working well and what improvements are needed to benefit both patients and GP practices in Southport.

In order to capture people’s feedback, the team will be visiting local community groups in Bootle and there is an online survey for people to complete.

The team has also organised a series of announced Enter and View visits in

Southport GP practices to engage with patients to hear their views.

Jan Leonard, director of commissioning and redesign at NHS Southport and Formby Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and NHS South Sefton CCG, said: "The CCGs are committed to listening to patients and we value the feedback and suggestions given.

"By hearing what patients think, we can look at working with practices to see where

improvements can be made, so I’d encourage as many people as possible to get involved."

People have already started to complete a survey on the subject and this will form part of a report looking at GP access in the area. All responses will be anonymous.

For more information about the survey contact the Healthwatch Sefton team on 0800 206 1304 or email: info @healthwatchsefton.co.uk

Jobs at NHS Digital set to be axed under restructuring plan Report by Danielle Thompson DIGITAL NHS jobs in Southport could be lost as part of a restructuring plan that would see 500 staff across England cut.

A spokesperson for the NHS has said that ‘where possible’ staff will be redeployed.

The organisation employs about 2,700 people in IT-related roles at centres across the country, with more than 100 in its Southport office at Smedley Hydro in Birkdale.

The organisation provides information and technology help nationally to the health and social care system.

NHS Digital bosses say they remain committed to continuing its presence at the Birkdale office for at least three years.

Sean Walsh, NHS Digital’s director of Smedley Hydro regions and professions, said: “This restructure is three years.

“We estimate that the overall national restructure about skilling up our workforce and rethinking our will lead to a net reduction of around 500 full time structure.

More rail services to and from Manchester to start in December Report by Danielle Thompson

ADDITIONAL rail services between Southport and Manchester will start in December following discussions between a pressure group and Northern.

Members of a working group set up to lobby for the reinstatement of the full Southport to Manchester Piccadilly rail service say they have reached a new agreement for seven daily services, an increase from the current four.

The group, made up of rail users, members of Merseytravel, Northern and Transport for the North, met up with Northern’s newly-appointed regional director West, Chris Jackson recently to discuss progress on reinstating the full direct service.

Eric Woodcock, chairman of the Southport Rail Transport Forum told the Champion: “While it is certainly a Northern ambition to deliver a full, seven day, direct Piccadilly service, even though it is not part of the franchise contract, the operator will need formal approval and contractual agreement to do so.

Respected estate agent loses his job after drink-driving A RESPECTED estate agent was caught drink-driving following a collision with a parked car in Southport.

As James Dea, 26, of High Park Road, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on October 31, it was heard that on Bispham Road, in the early hours of October 13, a Nissan Note had collided with a car.

As officers were making enquiries, Dea arrived admitting that he had been driving the Note and put out his hands to suggest that he should be handcuffed.

The prosecutor said Dea had pan-

icked and ran home after the accident but returned.

Solicitor Jim Smith said Dea attended court “very remorsefully.”

Providing three character references, he said: “He is a very respected employee who is going to be a great loss to that firm due to the inevitable driving ban.”

Mr Smith said Dea had been at a charity event when he became detached from co-workers with whom he was going to share a taxi.

The magistrates fined him £300, with £115 costs and banned him from driving for 20 months.

THE Chancellor of the Exchequer has praised the Southport MP for being the ‘champion of the high street’ and has revealed that an additional £675million will be put into helping retail businesses across the country.

Last week, Chancellor Philip Hammond revealed that the new measures will see internet giants taxed on online sales and business rates for small business slashed by a third after a successful budget proposal from Mr Moore in July, in which he urged the Treasury to ‘level the playing field’ for the high street.

Mr Hammond specifically cited the Southport MP in his Budget speech, when he said: “If Britain’s high streets are to remain at the centre of our community life, they will need to adapt.

“We support them to do so, responding to calls from across this House, especially from my honourable friends the Members for Southport and for Croydon South.”

He later added: “High streets have been at the heart of our communities for generations. If they are to remain so they will need to adapt, which is why we are backing them with our Future

High Streets Fund – and providing support to small independent retailers now by cutting business rates by a third for two years.

“I know that Damien Moore has been a real champion of places such as the historic Lord Street in the heart of his Southport constituency. This budget will help support those local shops and businesses he is standing up for.”

The Digital Services Tax will be introduced in April 2020 and will see the government introduce a new 2% tax on the revenues of

certain digital business to ensure that the amount of tax paid in the UK is reflective of the value they derive from their UK users.

The Chancellor also revealed a new £675 million Future High Streets Fund for redeveloping high streets, in addition to cutting business rates by one third for small and independent businesses with a rateable value below £51,000.

MP Damien Moore said: “I am delighted the Chancellor listened to my budget proposal and has announced these much-needed changes to the benefit of small business in Southport.

“These changes will mean that every small shop in our town will save up to £8,000 per year, easing their financial burden and at the very least will create a more level-playing field between the high-street and online market place.”

Birkdale Ward Councillor Ron Watson added: “The budget contains many component parts that are very helpful to Southport.

“The proposals to cut the business rates for small high street retailers by a significant amount will be a huge help in enabling them to continue whilst at the same time making the adjustments necessary because of changing consumer spending habits particularly the massive growth in internet shopping.”

Visitors flock to gardening society's final show of the year

VISITORS flocked to the final show of the year for the Southport Chrysanthemum and Gardening Society held at Marble Place shopping centre.

The society is 68 years old this year and always tries to commemorate events of national interest, so this

year, to celebrate Armistice Day their cookery classes featured items in remembrance of the First World War, with baked goods using poppy seeds as an ingredient and also a class for cakes decorated with edible poppy heads.

Fall in number of ‘mischief makers’ say M’side police MERSEYSIDE Police say there was a drop in the number of reports of anti-social behaviour and criminal damage during this year’s Mischief Night.

In recent years, the so-called ‘Mischief Night’ on October 30, has tended to attract youngsters involved in anti-social activity with more call-outs recorded by police forces than most other times of the year.

However, Merseyside police say they recorded a total of 1,760 calls between 2pm and 11pm on Tuesday, October 30 - down from 2,354, (a 25% decrease) during the same period in 2017.

There was a 33.3% decrease in

reports of anti-social behaviour and criminal damage with 462 such reports being made compared to 693 the previous year.

A total of 15 people were arrested for a variety of low-level offences down from 24 people last year and 13 in 2016.

Commander for the policing operation, Chief Inspector Paddy Kelly said: “The period between October 30th and November 5th is often a busy time for police and on October 30, thankfully we saw a significant decrease in the number of reports of criminal damage and anti-social behaviour compared to last year.

“A massive amount of effort and planning went into our oper-

ation and parents have clearly listened to our advice to make sure they know where their children are, and many young people themselves have taken advantage of activities put on for them.

“We know that criminal damage and anti-social behaviour is concerning for the community, particularly vulnerable and elderly people and I would like to reinforce our message that this behaviour will not be tolerated under any circumstances.”

Anyone who would like to report incidents of anti-social behaviour or criminal damage can contact police via @MerPolCC, 101 or @Crimesto ppersUK.

Residents urged to play their part and... ‘keep antibiotics working’!

Report by Danielle Thompson SOUTHPORT and Formby residents are being urged to play their part in a campaign to ‘keep antibiotics working’.

Public Health England want to remind patients that taking antibiotics when you don’t need them puts families at risk. They say it’s important that, when it comes to antibiotics, you always take your doctor, nurse or healthcare professional’s advice.

Nationally, 38% of people expected an antibiotic from a doctor’s surgery, NHS walk-in centre or ‘GP out of hours’ service when they visited with a cough, flu or a throat, ear, sinus or chest infection in 2017.

NHS Southport and Formby Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and NHS South Sefton CCG are supporting the campaign alongside the council and have spent a number of years reducing inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions to ensure that only the patients who really need them are prescribed them.

Dr Hilal Mulla from the Corner Surgery in Southport said: “It is so important that people realise that antibiotics are not always the answer and that the more they are used to treat minor health condi-

“

(Helen, Southport)

Dr Hilal Mulla from the Corner Surgery in Southport is helping to get the message across to patients

tions; the more likely they are to become ineffective for treating more serious conditions.

“For minor illnesses such as coughs and colds your local pharmacy can advise you on which over the counter medicines can help.

“We’ve done a lot of work already with the CCGs to explain to people that antibiotics are not always the answer but running this campaign again will hopefully add to this, helping GPs and pharmacists spread the word more and remind people about the risks of taking antibiotics when it’s not necessary.”

As antibiotic resistance increases, common procedures such as caesarean sections and hip replacements could become life-threatening without them.

Cancer patients are also much more vulnerable if antibiotics don’t work; both cancer and its treatments reduce the ability of the immune system to fight infections.

The campaign will run for eight weeks up until December 16.

Book shows history of town in postcards

Visit us @ www.ChampNews.com ● 15

Last few slots for Christmas fitting available

Report by Tom Martin SOUTHPORT will be shown through the ages in a new book which shows how postcards can help detail the town’s history.

Hugh Hollinghurst, from Crosby, has penned a wide range of works in recent years about the history of local towns in Sefton and his latest publication, which is his 18th to date, is entitled Southport: The Postcard Collection.

The book takes the reader back in time to the golden age of the postcard as it illustrates a resort that was in the Edwardian era one of the most fashionable in the country.

The reader can see a variety of over 170 cards, ranging from street and beach scenes to aerial views, humorous sketches and historical illustrations.

The accompanying text by Hugh then helps to build up a picture of the life, leisure and pleasures of a vibrant seaside town of the period.

The Promenade, the Pier, the entertainments of the beach and Lord Street are particularly well illustrated Hugh shows off his new book together with the parks and gardens, Hugh will stage a book signing at Pritchard’s transport and the suburbs.

Hugh, who is the Chairman of the Crosby and Dis- bookshop, Moor Lane, Crosby on Saturday, Novemtrict Historical Society, said: “I am now 80 and this ber 10 from 11am.

Hugh is perhaps best known for his 'Through is my 18th book.

Upset by PDSA’s refusal to Hydropool helps me exercise with dignity Town should try to treat injured cat - despite I have been attending the hydrotherapy This cannot have been thought through repeat the ‘magic’ of run by Southport and Ormskirk NHS with the patients’ best interests in mind or support for animal charity pool Trust for many years since being referred the trust would be aware of patients such Altrincham market through the pain management unit. as myself and many others actually using My daughter has two cats which she adores and although she is on low income, she always support PDSA charity shops in Southport and surrounding villages.

However, recently her cat had its tail shut in a door. She got a friend to drive her to the nearest PDSA vets which is in Bootle.

The reception staff made it very clear, to the point where it made her feel very uncomfortable, that she was not within their catchment area.

They agreed to make the cat comfortable but would not treat it.

My daughter understandably got very upset and she

explained she didn't have the money to pay for a ‘normal’ vets fee.

So, why do we not have this facility in Southport?

What are people on low incomes supposed to do with their pets if they are unwell or injured?

Is it fair that people in certain areas can have this fantastic service provided for them and other people don't.

I have since insured her cats for her. However, as other pet owners are aware there are excess fees which can be unaffordable for people on benefits or in low paid jobs.

D. Darby, Southport

I now pay to attend (£3 plus £3 to park twice a week) I am still a patient and if it weren’t for my attending the pool on Wednesday evenings and Sundays, I doubt I would still be fit enough to continue to work and provide for my family.

I spend my time outside the house in a wheelchair and have tried attending various swimming pools over the years but the cold water tends to cause me to tense up only increasing my pain further and making it impossible to exercise.

My impression was that the majority of people attending these sessions were also referred from pain management units or similar, so are in fact patients too.

A hydropool facility such as this should be for the use of as many patients as possible so how can the trust justify stopping patients such as myself, that actually need it, from using it in the future.

the facility.

The public are the trust’s patients but it seems a decision was made without the involvement of all those that use the facility.

I can only plead on behalf of myself and others in a similar predicament for the trust to re-consider their decision on who can use this facility, as I feel this is a very short sighted decision or there is some kind of hidden agenda.

Please reconsider this awful decision so that myself (and others in similar need) can continue to attend these sessions at the hydropool so that I may continue to carry out my exercise in dignity and keep myself fit enough to continue to work for a living and provide for my family for as long as possible.

Jason Bedwell, Southport

PICTURE of the week

B and K. Stokes recently wrote about the ongoing decline of Southport and the Southport Market Hall.

Southport is a fantastic town and changing the market hall into an independent kitchen food hall, with an emphasis on local produce, could be the driver in a revival of Southport.

This approach has a proven track record in Altrincham with the renaissance of the town.

The market-led approach is now being followed by other towns such as Macclesfield.

Shop staff helped us in our time of need We were walking down Princes Street in Southport when my partner, who is diabetic, fell to the floor.

I ran into ‘Twelve’ for assistance and I cannot thank Paulo (the owner) and his staff enough for the help they gave us.

I explained my partner was diabetic and he had collapsed outside and I asked for a can of coke which they gave to me - no questions asked. The staff came out to help me and we were both given a chair to sit on.

Paulo waited with my partner whilst I collected my car and then stayed with me until my partner’s sugars stabilised.

We certainly will be paying them a visit soon to thank them all so very much. There are such lovely people around helping people in need and they deserve to be praised. Paulo and his staff were our heroes that night.

Where there’s horse muck... there’s brass!

I am writing in response to a letter regarding horse muck in Ainsdale. We have a problem also in Freshfield.

The roads are a disgrace with unsightly mounds of droppings and when it gets wet, it goes under the wheel arch of the car and sets like concrete.

I am in total agreement that the owners at riding schools should be made to clean up the mess made after them, like in other places where the horses have worn ‘nappies’.

I would also like to com-

ment on a letter about driving over kerbs to reach a parking place without lowering the kerb.

It has been said that this damages the pavement.

Isn’t it common sense that even if the kerb is lowered, you still have to drive over the pavement to reach the drive. Does this damage the pavement? No! I think it's another money-making schemed.

Halloween has gone way too far As a Southport resident, my heart goes out to the traders and tourist bosses in the town who are doubtless delighted at the badly-needed profits gained by the rapid development of the Spookport/ Halloweeen events.

Nevertheless, I am sure I’m not the only reader who considers it has gone way too far and couldn’t we please transfer some of that to Bonfire Night (avoiding the religious aspect of the original celebration) or something else OR change it to the truly ‘traditional’ way of celebration?

I admire the efforts of parents, teachers and youth group organizers who are doing their best NOT to turn it into a celebration of the

forces of evil. Keeping it within the boundaries of what children of all ages can cope with must be very difficult when most of the whole business is dangerously near or even over that boundary. The more sensitive must hate and fear the event, including older people who have told me they sit in their homes with their lights out, fervently hoping that no one will call.

I know that scarey things have always been a small percentage of children’s stories, plays and practices but the percentage of books, films etc entirely taken over by ‘horror ’ nowadays has surely gone ‘over the top’. I commend those who put on alternative parties and

fun events and limit the input of ‘horror.’.

Traditionally, Hallowe’en - the eve of All Hallows, the celebration days of the dear departed and the saints - has been the time for the final party for the forces of evil who know they are doomed and will be driven out! It is the last kick of the dying horse of evil.

The real celebration should involve only half of the dressing up being representations of the ‘Nasties’ and the other half, dressed up as the forces of Goodness, lie in wait, to follow the one representing St George, who arrives, later on the scene, with whoops and cries to drive them out - screaming and laughing, of

course, because this is the way the drama goes. Thus the forces of goodness, light and joy, triumph over the forces of darkness, fear and threat.

I dream of the parade of the Nasties down Lord Street being followed by St George on a white horse, dressed in a white tunic with a red cross on it, and his followers bearing bright torches, driving away the forces of evil.

Thus the day should end with no one doubting who has won!

With depression reaching epidemic proportions, do we not all need that message?

No need to worry about speeding fines if you stick to the limit HAVING read the letter regarding the average speed cameras on the A565, I felt I must write in support of their installation.

Before the cameras were installed l felt that I was dicing with death on every rush hour journey to work.

A great many vehicles treated that road as a motorway and flouted the speed limit massively.

Since their installation my winter mornings have been much less terrifying!

There may well still be as many

accidents, driving standards at any speed seem to be pretty dire everywhere (a great many people don’t seem to be aware that their cars have indicators, or could it be they are just lazy and inconsiderate I wonder?)

As for the cameras being a money making venture, well obviously if you stick to the speed limit you won’t need to worry about it, and if you don’t, you deserve to be fined.

Animals are innocent victims of conflicts across the world This November marks 100 years since the end of the First World War. On this anniversary, it’s so important that we remember the people and animals that lost their lives during this terrible conflict.

More than 16 million horses, donkeys and other animals were made to serve during the war – transporting everything from ammunition and messages to food rations and supplies. They hauled guns and pulled ambulances, while cavalry horses often led the charge on the front line.

They faced unimaginable horrors – and, tragically, nine million of these animals were killed. As we stop to

remember those who suffered and died a century ago, we must also not forget that animals continue to be innocent victims in brutal conflicts across the world today.

In recent years, SPANA has worked in war zones – from Kosovo and Iraq to Afghanistan – to provide urgent veterinary treatment to animals in severe distress.

While there are animals in desperate need, during times of war and peace, it is vital that help is on hand for them.

Geoffrey Dennis Chief Executive, SPANA (Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad)

Bridge would do more harm than good Building a bridge at Fisherman’s Path will do more harm than good MP Bill Esterson says the subject is raised regularly at his surgeries. I doubt if it is raised by anything like the number of people who use this crossing safely each year without encountering any problems.

Genuine accidents at this crossing are exceptionally rare.

For generations, Fisherman’s Path crossing has sadly been known as a place where people choose to commit suicide. The crossing’s isolation linked to its relative ease of accessibility are undoubtedly major factors and the building of a footbridge will do nothing to change that.

In short, the building of a footbridge at Fisherman’s Path will do no good whatsoever, but it could create far greater problems (vandalism) which has the potential to bring harm and injury to people if objects were to be dropped from it by mindless yobs.

Pupils invited to festive workshop to help write new grotto story TALENTED young writers from a Southport primary school shared some of their festive memories as part of a special writing workshop.

Five schools in the North West have inspired the new story written by acclaimed author Mike Garry, including those at Shoreside Primary School on Westminster Drive.

They helped to encapsulate the magic of Christmas with Rotherham-based writing charity Grimm & Co, to help Chill Factore in Manchester to create the first North West Christmas Tale!

The story will be unveiled at a private reading by Santa at his real snow grotto at Chill Factore later this month, with the children in attendance.

Children in year three shared their treasured memories of Christmas in the workshop which was led by a creative writer from Grimm & Co and created a piece of writing all about their experiences – from Santa’s snacks in each home, to his sleigh ride through Southport – no detail was amiss.

Children were encouraged to share their own special traditions, as well as discussing what they associated

Shoreside Primary School enjoying their creative writing workshop with Grimm & Co artist Geoff Hook, for the North West Christmas Tales

with Christmas, making the tale unique.

The short story created by Mike will be read out by none other than Father Christmas himself on the opening night of Santa’s Grotto at Chill Factore on Friday, November 16.

Mike Garry said: “The ideas and stories we’ve had from the schools that have taken

part are incredible – truly heartwarming to read! We are very proud of our heritage in the North West and I think it’s really special that our schoolchildren have such treasured experiences of Christmas. I am now in the process of putting all of our magical content together to create the final story, so watch this space!”

Diabetic Eye Screening Programme moved to Aintree - but it’s only a temporary measure, say health bosses

by Henry James PATIENTS needing to use the Diabetic Eye Screening Programme at Ormskirk hospital, will have to travel to Aintree to be seen.

But, say health chiefs, the move is only a temporary measure much to the relief of West Lancs and Sefton residents who feared the transfer of the service was a permanent one.

Hospital bosses explained that the moving of the service within Ormskirk hospital has been delayed due to IT difficulties.

Several Champion readers who use the Ormskirk facility contacted us to say access to the service at Aintree hospital could prove ‘difficult’ for them as people who need to be screened are often told not to drive if undergoing certain procedures.

Reader David Forfar wrote: “I am just wondering if your diabetic readers are aware that diabetic retinopathy screening is no longer on offer at Ormskirk hospital. The diabetic team have moved and there is a note on the door of the centre saying the nearest screening is at Aintee.

“As you cannot drive for hours after this test this is going to make life more difficult for

Ormskirk Hospital

people. Do we have to blame Virgin Care for messing everything up again?”

A spokesperson for NHS England (Lancashire & South Cumbria) said: “The Diabetic Eye Screening Programme in West Lancashire has traditionally been located with the Diabetes Centre at Ormskirk Hospital. The wider diabetes service has recently moved to another part of the hospital site and it is intended that the Diabetic Eye Screening Programme will relocate with it.

“However, the move has been delayed due to IT difficulties and work is ongoing to resolve this as quickly as possible.

“In the meantime, patients (including those from Southport and Formby) who would normally attend diabetic eye screening appointments at Ormskirk are being asked to attend at Aintree Hospital instead.

“We appreciate this may cause difficulties for a small number of patients and we are working with the provider of the service to ensure that any patients who are unable to attend elsewhere are followed up and offered a further appointment when the service resumes at Ormskirk Hospital.”

The Diabetic Eye Screening Programme (DESP) is provided by Aintree University Hospitals Trust. It has historically been delivered from the Diabetes Centre at Ormskirk Hospital, alongside the wider diabetes team.

Under a new provider (Virgin Care), the wider diabetes service offered at the centre has relocated to Bickerstaff House on the Ormskirk Hospital site and it is intended that the DESP should also relocate in order to continue working alongside the diabetes team.

Council highways safety team to hold safety event for ‘senior ’ road users A ROAD safety event is being held for senior drivers in Ainsdale next week.

Sefton Council's Highways Safety team are to hold the over-60s session at Ainsdale Methodist Church on Liverpool Road starting at 10am on Tuesday (November 13) to promote safer use of the

highway for both pedestrians and road users.

This is the latest in a series of Senior Ro ad User events which have been taking place across Sefton over the last three years.

Councillor John Fairclough, Sefton Coun-

cil’s cabinet member for locality services, said: “The aim is to highlight road safety issues that may affect road users over the age of 60 such as diminishing eyesight, medications and how their driving is affected.”

To book, call 0151 934 4259.

Hanover Housing Asssociation residents with their dogs.

Housing association hailed by RSPCA for being ‘pet friendly’ Report by Danielle Thompson A RETIREMENT housing association has received a top accolade from the RSPCA for its commitment to being pet friendly.

Hanover Housing Asssociation, which has properties on Cambridge Road and in Churchtown, is celebrating being named as the first national housing organisation to achieve the RSPCA’s PawPrint Gold Award.

While many landlords do not encourage pets, Hanover has taken a different approach, encompassing pet plans alongside those for care.

The charity claims that pet ownership is beneficial to physical, social and psychological wellbeing among older people and states that studies have found that companion animals can lower blood pressure and help to regulate the heart rate during stressful situations, something which can lead to less reliance on the health system and a reduction of care costs.

Rachel Williams from the RSPCA said: “It’s great to see Hanover achieving our prestigious Gold award.

“This is a real testament to the hard work of Hanover staff, their commitment to animal welfare and the health and happiness of their residents.”

Mark Lake, director of housing and support at Hanover added: “Our residents’ well-being is a top priority for us.

“For many years we’ve recognised that pets can provide great companionship and also give older people a greater sense of purpose, so it has been vitally important that we provide the right environment that allows that to happen.

“Being so pet friendly is one of our key strengths and is something that attracts many older people to live on a Hanover estate.

“We know there are many benefits - individually and collectively - as a result of residents owning pets, so we are obviously delighted to be the first national organisation to be awarded the Gold standard.”

For 10 years, the RSPCA has sought to celebrate, promote and reward the work of housing providers and other bodies in a number of areas that improve animal welfare.

This is the first time, however, that the world’s longest-serving animal welfare charity has awarded a national organisation a gold award for going above and beyond in the services they provide.

Pictures of old Southport to feature in history group’s display later this month Report by Kenny Parker OLD photos of Southport and the local area are to be shown at a popular history event taking place in West Lancashire.

Images of Burscough and Surrounding Areas and other local history groups have joined forces again to exhibit more than 650 old images and films of the local area including Southport, Birkdale, Scarisbrick, Ormskirk, Lathom, Rufford, Parbold and Newburgh.

The free event will be held in the main hall of the Stanley Club, Liverpool Road North, Burscough, over the weekend of November 24 and 25 between 10am and 5pm.

The last event, held earlier in March attracted more than a thousand visitors.

Joining Images of Burscough again for the weekend are Paul Smith Ormskirk Museum, Lathom and Burscough Military Heritage Society, and the Ormskirk and

District Family History Society, which will be on hand to offer advice to those researching their family history.

Founder of Images of Burscough, Michael Dawson, said that this time there will be lots previously unseen photos, local films and memorabilia including a recent addition to his collection of two eight inch diameter mortar shells from the siege of the original Lathom House (Lathom Castle) in 1644.

They weigh 13kg each and were found in the grounds of the second Lathom House when it was demolished in 1925.

There is free parking at the rear of the Stanley Club and there will be free teas and coffees along with Ormskirk Gingerbread and Lemon Slab cake to sample.

Also attending the event is Alan Barrow who will be launching The Airmen of West Lancashire - Roll of Honour WW2. This contains the profiles of 46 aircrew, and 16 ground crew from rural West Lancashire who gave their lives in RAF service.

Scheme saves patients going to hospital

HUNDREDS of patients have avoided an unnecessary trip to hospital thanks to a scheme launched by the North West Ambulance Service.

The new ‘Urgent Care Practitioner’ initiative involves 12 nurses and paramedics who respond to patients who have called 999 but could possibly receive support and treatment in the community, rather than having to go to hospital in an emergency ambulance.

Working on vehicles equipped to treat people on scene, the Urgent Care Practitioners ensure patients who can be cared for at home have all the help they need, referring them on to other local health services if required. While nurses have been part of the ambulance workforce for a number of years, it is the first time they have been employed in NWAS in a role responding to patients.

Evaluation of the first few months of activity has showed that 72% of patients seen by the Urgent Care Practitioners were provided with the right care, without needing an emergency ambulance to take them to hospital - this is known as ‘see and

Urgent Care Practitioners from the North West Ambulance Service

treat’. The practitioners also spend some of their time working in the 999 control centres, speaking to patients on the telephone to provide clinical selfcare advice – this is known as ‘hear and treat’. Just

over half of all the patients spoken to by the UCPs were supported over the phone without needing ambulance service intervention.

In total, the pilot is estimated to have saved more

than 1,000 ambulance journeys during a 90 day period, which is approximately 1,625 hours or almost 68 full days of emergency ambulance time – saving resources for more serious incidents.

The pilot evaluation follows the recent publication of the Lord Carter review which said that the NHS could free up millions of pounds if ambulance services were able to ‘see and treat’ more patients.

Mark Newton, Assistant Director of Transformation, said: “The findings are really encouraging.

People deserve to get the right care, at the right time, in the right place, every time and for many, that doesn’t necessarily mean an emergency ambulance to the nearest A&E department “ It is just one of the initiatives we’ve been working on to ensure we’re well placed to provide that right care closer to home and working together with local health care providers to support more patients in the community.

“This helps to keep ambulance resources free to respond more quickly to life-threatening emergencies.”

People at risk of losing sight due to lack of regular health checks Diabetes affects an estimated 4.6 million people in the UK1 , yet 40% of the British public are unaware that blindness is one of diabetes’ biggest complications2.

Specsavers is dedicated to raising awareness of good eye care in both detecting and managing the condition – especially as research from Specsavers and the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) shows one in five adults are unaware that opticians can check for indicators of the condition3.

Dr Nigel Best, clinical spokesperson at Specsavers says: ‘Diabetes is one of the fastest growing health conditions today – fuelled by record levels of obesity, excessive sugar consumption and sedentary lifestyles. If we continue to turn a blind eye to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes as a result, we can only expect to see the number of undiagnosed cases escalate.

‘Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of blindness among people of working age in the UK4 so it’s hugely important that diabetes is detected early and monitored correctly to avoid furthering the risks.

‘At Specsavers, we offer digital retinal photography. This takes a detailed picture of the back of your eye and the microcirculation of blood – helping to highlight indicators of diabetes that need addressing.

Eye screening is also a key part of your diabetes care and people with diabetes should have routine screenings done every one to two years by an optometrist. Contact your local GP or local diabetic screening service for more information.

Sophie Castell, Director of Relationships at RNIB, says: ‘Sadly, all too often, people with diabetes can lose their sight due to complications. Yet with early detection and treatment, sight loss due to diabetic retinopathy can be prevented. Regular eye tests are important for everyone, but especially for people living with diabetes who should also ensure they attend appointments for specialist diabetic eye screening. It’s a few minutes that could save your sight.’

Atkinson to share history of first hospital to treat WW1 soldiers suffering shell shock

by Henry James THE history of the first hospital to treat soldiers with shell shock will be shared with the public on Armistice Day in a special exhibition at The Atkinson.

Moss Side Military Hospital in Maghull was the first specialist hospital to treat what is now understood as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for those who had witnessed the horrors of the First World War. Between 1914 and 1919, its pioneering staff treated 3,600 patients using the developing field of psychological medicine.

Supported by historians from Manchester Metropolitan University, archives consultant Kevin Bolton, staff from the Atkinson Museum and local volunteers have spent the last year on a Heritage Lottery Fund project uncovering fascinating stories of those who lived and worked at Moss Side Military Hospital.

This rare archival material forms a new exhibition Moss Side and the Great War Remembered at the Atkinson Museum in Southport, which will be open for a free day of talks, presentations and activities relating to the pro-

A photograph of patients and nurses at Moss Side hospital

Moss-Side Hospital as it used to look at the time of WW1

ject on Sunday, November 11.

Visitors will be able to find out how medical professionals worked with the local community in Maghull to treat those traumatised by their experiences on the Western Front, and those who were treated.

Stephen Whittle, principal manager of museum, gallery and operations at The Atkinson, said: “The story of Moss Side Military Hospital is fascinating and really inspiring.

“It’s wonderful that local volunteers have been able to carry out so much original research and bring to light a part not only of Maghull’s history but the wider history of the early treatment of shell shock.”

Dr Sam Edwards, director of the Manchester Centre for Public History and Heritage at Manchester Metropolitan University, said: “Through their dedication and hard work, the volunteers researching the First World War history and heritage of Moss Side Military Hospital, Maghull, have uncovered some fascinating stories which shed new light on how soldiers, patients and medical staff responded to the traumas inflicted by the fighting on the Western Front.

“This is an important, and previously neglected, part of our national story.”

Full steam ahead for model railway show

Boating in the Broads brings out the best in most people HAVING returned safely - and on time (!) - from my last trip of the year on my lovely old wooden motor cruiser, ‘Manxman’, has given me the chance to reflect on why I love the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads - despite the occasional hiccups.

This time for instance you could literally see autumn coming on apace with trees changing from green to brown day by day, and skeins of geese flying in strict ‘V’ formations - though oddly most appeared to be flying north rather than south though I’m sure they knew what they were doing.

And of course there were the people, mainly good, but just a few anything but.

On the whole there is a camaraderie among boatists (surely not boaters), but my heart sinks when you come across a bevy of canoeists paddling blithely four abreast (like some cyclists on the roads) with absolutely no idea of what is coming up behind them, and apparently no care either.

The fishing community too are sometimes both blind and deaf. There are clear notices at all public moorings telling anglers that they must make way for vessels wanting to tie up there.

Some will with something approaching a good grace, but many choose not to hear when you ask them so to do, and become abusive and irate if you continue closely to approach.

Yachts too can pose a problem.

In this case though I confess that unless they too choose to sail and tack in convoy (again bike like) it is usually the cruiser skipper who is at fault.

I have found over the years that my reading of ‘Hornblower ’ and similar seafaring novels has given me a fair understanding of how a yacht is likely to behave in given circumstances.

On this trip I performed rather well - apart from the occasion when I totally misjudged the speed of a tacking yacht and probably quite rightly occasioned some swearwords from its crew.

But most of my cruise was a simple pleasure.

Mind you, I am often assisted by ‘Manxman’ herself who often attracts admirers when we are moored - sometimes from unexpected sources.

I was moored one afternoon at Ludham Bridge.

I am ashamed to say I was having a quiet grumble to myself about a group of anglers fishing very close to the narrow bridge itself, and right beneath a notice saying angling was not permitted there.

Then three young lads temporarily gave up their sport and wandered down to me where they wanted to know all about my cruiser, how old she was, where she was built and so on.

Mind you, I was a little thrown when one queried: “What does it do?”

It transpired that the answer he required was information as to what made it go. I pointed out that it wasn't THAT old - it had an engine.

And that reminds me.

Years ago, my family were on a hired cruiser, and moored for the night at a boatyard in Loddon. There was an man there who had been a ‘boy ’ on a Norfolk Wherry (a large trading sailing barge).

And he gave us two pieces of advice. “Whatever you do in a boat, do it slowly,” he said.

“The boat may not do what you want - but it won't do much damage either.”

“And the second: Never trust anyone who claims to know all about handling small boats.

Stay well clear. He's either mad, or bad, or both!”

Two maxims I have trued always to obey.

So there you are - I've run out of space. Never mind though, it's only a few months to Easter and the 2019 boating season for Manxman’, dogs Tina and Cinders, and I.

THE family-friendly Southport Model Railway Show is set to steam into action on Saturday (November 10).

Following their recent celebration of the 170th anniversary of the Liverpool Crosby and Southport Railway, members of Southport Model Railway Club have been busy preparing for the show which will take place from 10am to 5pm at All Saints Church Hall on Park Road, Southport. It will feature, among other exhibits, Derek Pratt’s live steam layout, (pictured opposite) while a cafe will offer hot and cold drinks and light refreshments and sales stands will sell items for collectors and Christmas stockings.

Jim Ford from the club said: “Austin Moss from Windmill Farm

An exhibition at a previous Southport Model Railway Show - Derek Pratt’s live steam layout

will be bringing his massive layout with its big, big trains including some Christmas specials. There will also be a number of layouts demonstrating Christmas past,

including models by Bassett Lowke, Phil Delnon’s Hornby Dublo and Keith Hick’s Twix Twin.

Stan Williams will be bringing a little bit of North Wales with him

in the form of his Llanrug and Bethel line and Southport member, Derek Pratt, will run his live steam circular Walmer Bridge layout.

Last but not least, the Southport club itself will present the Clairmont Wharf and Shell Cove layouts.”

Train users aged 26-30 can soon apply for new 'millennial' railcard SEFTON train users aged between 26-30 who travel during “leisure hours” will soon be able to apply for the so-called 'millennial railcard'.

The National Rail 26-30 Railcard will be rolled out nationwide before the end of this year, which costs £30 a year and allows rail users to save a third off most train fares.

It comes seven months after a trial of 10,000 discount railcards sold out across the country within hours.

It is an extension to the popular

16-25 Railcard, and industry bodies predict that cardholders will save an average of £125 a year.

However, there will be no discounts on season tickets and a minimum fare of £12 for all journeys between 4.30am and 10am, excluding weekends and public holidays.

The card must be downloaded onto a smartphone and is aimed at leisure travellers, rather than commuters.

Week-long free festival to be held to commemorate end of First World War Report by Danielle Thompson A WEEK long festival is being held to commemorate the centenary of the end of the First World War at the Holy Trinity Church on Hoghton Street, Southport.

The Trinity Arts group are holding their First World War Community Commemoration and Flower Festival from this Friday (November 9) to Friday, November 16.

On Friday the festival starts with a free screening of the First World War themed film Journey’s End at 7.30pm, at the church.

People can turn up on the day and it's free although collections will be taken for the charity, Combat Stress and the Royal British Legion’s poppy appeal.

It will include a 21-site flower festival, a gallery of personal stories and images, and poems being read by people dressed in First World War uniform from 10am-4pm this Saturday (November 10).

The multi media commemoration also includes video and audio reports, schools participation, silhouettes, talks from special guests, and original artwork.

There will also be items from the period on display including original cigarette boxes, a cartoon book featuring soldiers, medals and more.

John Thomas Marshall (second left) born in Southport in 1893, served in the First World War with the 2/7th Battalion of the King’s (Liverpool) Regiment in France. Other photos of him and a letter to his sister before going to the Front, will be featured in the exhibition.

Children’s activities will be available, including making a tissue-paper poppy wreath.

Food and drink, amid street party style bunting, will be served in the Parish Centre next door.

On the Sunday there is a Remembrance Service at 10.15am with a two minute silence at 11am as well as the laying of wreaths.

On Friday, November 16 in the Parish Centre at 1pm, there will be a pianist playing war-time songs, which people can sing along to.

Organiser Joy Aldred, of Trinity Arts,

said the event was going to be very special.

She said: “When people started to respond with personal stories of their families’ involvement in the First - and Second - World War we realised this was going to be a very moving experience.

“We’ve been given prisoner of war diaries and unique insights into people’s lives during both the wars, and we’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who responded.”

Memorial bench wrecked by vandals Report by Danielle Thompson A BENCH dedicated to the memory of a bank worker from Southport was discovered vandalised on Lord Street last week.

A Champion reader rwho took a picture of the bench ‘disappointing and horrible’ it was to see the bench uprooted and broken on the pavement.

A plaque on the bench reads, ‘In loving The plaque on the bench. memory of a friend and colleague Hilary Derry, to repair it and get it back to its original location who worked for The Royal Bank of Scotland for 25 as soon as possible. years. She will be sadly missed.’

“Anyone interested in buying a memorial bench A spokesman for Sefton Council said: should contact us directly through sefton.gov.uk.”

Council’s new housing company named after borough’s coastline Report by Danielle Thompson

SEFTON Council's newly-created housing development company will be named Sandway Homes after the 22 miles of the borough's coastline.

Last year councillors agreed in establishing a company to develop new housing across the borough.

Sefton Council’s Cabinet has now approved the new company name and arrangements for its board of directors.

The newly formed company is

now moving forward with developing detailed designs and proposals for priority house build sites across the borough.

Cllr Trish Hardy, Sefton Council's cabinet member for communities and housing, said: “When we consulted on the 2030 Vision, ‘growing living and ageing well’ and ‘making Sefton a great place to live, work and play’ came through as two strategic outcomes that residents wished the council to prioritise and the establishment of the Housing Development Company is key to this.

“We are delighted to be at the point of announcing the official name of Sandway Homes for our

Warning over fake poppy fraudsters SEFTON residents have been urged to be vigilant when buying poppies for Remembrance Day as fraudsters look to cash in from the occasion.

The Royal British Legion and Intellectual Property Office (IPO) are urging members of the public to be careful as fake poppy merchandise is sold on the streets and online.

Donations are intended to support armed forces community men, women, veterans and their families, but fraudsters look to take this money away from these people by selling fake scarves, jewellery, poppy pins and larger poppy brooches.

Claire Rowcliffe, Director of Fundraising, from The Royal British Legion said: “It is a sad fact that there are people who actively defraud the public in order to take funds intended for the support of our armed forces community. We would urge everyone wishing to purchase a Remembrance poppy brooch, to do so through official channels.

“For example, you can buy from one of our trusted volunteers, from The Royal British Legion’s online Poppy Shop, or from one of our corporate partners.”

Intellectual Property Minister Sam Gyimah said: “It is truly shocking that anyone would target and exploit one of the UK’s most cherished charities and take advantage of public support for our armed forces community.

“Together we can ensure donations go to the people they are intended for, by only supporting approved merchandise. Be vigilant when you are buying your poppies this year, and look out for the Royal British Legion logo to ensure the merchandise is approved and genuine.”

new housing development company. The name Sandway is inspired by the unique 22 miles of coastline in Sefton and the logo mark is derived from the family crest for the Sefton Molyneux.

“Our mission now is to create quality, ambitious housing in a purposeful, ethical, and sustainable way that puts real people at the centre of everything.

“This will contribute to providing more housing choice right across the borough and unlock value from unused sites.

Relive music of Welsh National Opera returning to Empire glam rock era with T.Rextasy T.REXTASY, presented by Sweeney Entertainments, return to venues across the UK in 2018 transporting audiences back to relive the good old days of the 1970’s and they will be at the Atkinson on Saturday, November 24 at 8pm.

Marc Bolan, with his band T.Rex, was one of the most flamboyant and charismatic stars of the original glam rock era.

With Bolan's special ingredient of Rock-a-Boogie songs, the band had a string of huge hits throughout the 1970s including Love to Boogie, Telegram Sam, Jeepster and 20th Century Boy. Accepted as the world’s only official live tribute band dedicated to Marc Bolan & T.Rex, and the only band endorsed and approved by Marc Bolan’s family, estate, original ex-members of T.Rex, and Bolan’s catalogue management, T.Rextasy have been described by many as “beyond the boundaries of tribute”.

They have been performing all over the world for more than 25 years, a career that ironically outlives Marc’s very own T.Rex. The skilled musicianship of Danielz (vocals and lead guitar), Neil Cross (rhythm guitars, backing vocals), Rob Butterfield (bass guitar, backing vocals) and John Skelton (drums) lets the timeless music and legacy of Marc Bolan and T.Rex live on, performing everything from 20th Century Boy to Children of the Revolution as well as Telegraph Sam to Hot Love with superb authenticity.

Sweeney Entertainments is cofounded by Julie and Peter Sweeney, and Julie said: “T.Rextasy return to venues across the UK in 2018 with another powerhouse evening of rock ‘n’ roll.

THIS week Welsh National Opera returns to Liverpool with two timeless classics.

La Traviata can be seen at the Empire tonight (Wednesday, November 7) while La Cenerentola is being presented tomorrow (Thursday) at 7.15pm The most popular and most performed opera in the world, Verdi’s La Traviata is the enduring tragic love story of Parisian courtesan Violetta and her affair with Alfredo, which brings them true love before they are separated by society, disease and destiny.

Alfredo who has fallen head over heels in love with the courtesan Violetta, but his father Germont disapproves of the fallen woman. Penniless and fearing she will soon die, Violetta agrees to leave Alfredo

believing it is in his best interest. It is only when Germont hears that she is on her deathbed that he realises the error of his ways, and confesses all to Alfredo. But is it too late?

La Cenerentola is Rossini’s retelling of Cinderella but with a few twists along the way. The kindhearted Angelina (Cinderella) is forced to scrub the floors by her wicked stepfather, while her ugly sisters prepare to go to the Prince’s grand ball at the palace. As she dreams of a better life she is visited by a mysterious old beggar man. He tells her she will go to the ball, and will also be rewarded for her kind heart.

Will she live happily ever after?

Adaptation acted as a ‘mirror to our times’ Review by Ron Ellis THEY Don’t Pay? We Won’t Pay! By Dario Fo Liverpool Playhouse

The T.Rextasy show is coming to Southport

This concert show boasts two hours of amazing completely live glam rock, with a generous mix of the popular hits, play b-sides and album tracks.”

Danielz, lead vocalist and lead guitarist, said: “I absolutely love playing the songs of T.Rex. It’s the actual buzz one gets of going on stage and giving the audience a live experience. Fans are coming to have a good time, and when I see people smiling and

doing just that it makes it really worthwhile.”

This full-on concert showcases all of the hits and more, with both electric and acoustic performances, faithfully recreating the energy and performance of Marc Bolan and T.Rex. A rock’n’roll concert for all ages - If you would like to know exactly what a Marc Bolan concert was like in the 1970s, this show is for you.

MD

A PLAY that can be taken on three levels. Basically it is putting across a strong political message, mainly through the medium of a knockabout farce but also including audience participation with a few songs thrown in for good measure, performed by a group of actors obviously enjoying every minute of it.

On the comedy side, pure farce. Housewife Anthea (Lisa Howard), out of work and struggling to pay the bills, decides to join in with a crowd of shoppers helping themselves to the stock in a local supermarket. She has to hide the stolen from her husband Jack, a Labour man but honest as the day is long. The police come round, armed with search warrants, to all the flats in their block. Anthea enlists the help of her pal Maggie (Suzanne Ahmet) as they concoct more unbelievable stories by the minute, so we have them with groceries stuck under their dresses, pretending they are pregnant and from there on events disappear into the realms of pure fantasy, some hilarious, others ridiculous.

More enjoyable is the interaction with the audience as the actors drop out of character from time to time, break into songs and exchange comments with people on the front row. Almost like pantomime.

A scene from They Don’t Pay? We Won’t Pay!

But, despite the humour, the underlying message is serious. The working man suffers in a time of austerity while the bosses and the rich who brought down the global economy, go scot free and continue to prosper. Worse, the Labour movement today bears no relationship to the party it used to be so who is there to help the poor? The fact that the show ends with a banner of the Jarrow March says it all.

Steve Hulson and Matt Connor play the husbands and Mike Hugo gets the best laughs in his four roles as constable, sergeant, undertaker and ‘Pops’.

Originally written by celebrated Italian playwright, Dario Fo, this adaptation was by Deborah McAndrew and the director was Conrad Nelson.

Another success for the excellent Northern Broadsides company.

WHO remembers Cheesy Peas? It was a fictional delicacy popularised on Nineties funny-fest The Fast Show – and, to my mind at least, shorthand for anything that sounds inherently wrong but actually ends up working unexpectedly well.

Go on, admit it. Cheesy Peas sounds like a stomach-churning concept but I bet you’d happily wolf it down if it was served with sausage and chips after a cold November night out.

It makes about as much sense as Dolly Parton’s Nine to Five being played over a fight scene in Deadpool 2 or Jeremy Clarkson being given Chris Tarrant’s old gig on Who Wants to be a Millionaire –yet all these baffling concepts somehow work.

The Porsche 911 is very Cheesy Peas.

Any car nut who knows their stuff is educated from an early age that a sports car has its engine up the front, some wheelspin at the back and a driver grinning childishly somewhere in the middle, yet the chaps in Stuttgart decided to launch one with all the important gubbins at the rear. It’s all out of sync, yet in Porsche’s 70th anniversary year it went so far to refer to the 911 as “our icon” in its

There have been many different 911s over the years - and none truly make sense

own business assessment. Having now driven one for the first time, I have to agree.

There have been all sorts of 911s over the years but the car I was entrusted with was a 1970 model, which represents a sweet spot between Porsche realising it’d cocked up the original car slightly but before it started adding turbos, four-wheel drive, wider bodywork and water-cooled engines into the mix. So it has a 2.2-litre flat six rather than the two-litre, and a slightly longer wheelbase to tame the original’s appetite for lift-off oversteer.

It is the oddest sports car experience, yet it really works. With no mechanicals weighing down the front wheels the steering feels super-light, yet it’s packed with feel, and while it’s a bit weird hearing a boxer engine fire up behind you, it’s hard

to deny that it revs beautifully and pulls – sorry, pushes –really well. You also sit far too close to the windscreen, the steering and pedals are offset, the dashboard layout is a complete mess, and yet it all adds up to a package that’s weirdly addictive.

So I’m not even remotely surprised that for all the attempts to replace it with the 928 and decades-long process of little improvements that Porsche’s mainstay is still a car that has a boxer engine slug out miles between some barely usable rear seats. Sometimes things don’t have to make sense to be enjoyable, and long may it continue sticking two fingers up at motoring convention.

Stranger things have happened, after all.

Cheesy Peas have been made into a Jamie Oliver-endorsed real-life recipe, for instance…

Fans urged to buy cup tie tickets early

PORT supporters are encouraged to buy their tickets early for Saturday’s home FA Cup first round tie against National League side Boreham Wood on Saturday.

The club shop on Haig Avenue will be open: Thursday, November 8 from 6pm until 8pm; Friday, November 9 from 1pm until 5pm; Saturday, November 10 from 10am until 2.55pm.

The club encourages supporters, home and away, to buy match tickets online ahead of the 8pm deadline on Friday, November 9 for the Boreham Wood match or call in to the shop before Saturday to beat the queues.

The club shop will close at 2.55pm with all ticket sales transferring to the 1881 Lounge after this time. Tickets can also be bought in the 1881 Lounge on Saturday as well through the week. Click here for opening times.

Both fixtures are all-pay, which includes season ticket holders.

Liam Edwards.

Defender signs on loan deal from Bolton DEFENDER Liam Edwards has joined Southport on loan from Bolton Wanderers until the start of January 2019.

The 22 year-old centre-back is also the Trotters U23 captain., signing a professional contract with the Championship club in June 2018.

Edwards who can also play on the right, spent time in the youth teams at Stoke City before making the move to Bolton.

Port manager Liam Watson said: “He’s exactly the type of player we need after the knocks to Ryan Astles and Josh Langley in recent games.

“Liam is confident on the ball, can play out from the back and has leadership qualities that means he will settle in really well with the squad we currently have.”

Edwards played at Kidderminster and is available to play in the Emirates FA Cup tie on Saturday.

SOUTHPORT scored four goals in the first half to stun Kidderminster Harriers in a game that even their most optimistic supporters would have doubted they would have got any points from against a side who were second placed in the National North table before the match.

The only change to the side which drew with Curzon Ashton on Tuesday evening was a debut for on loan defender Liam Edwards, who replaced Josh Langley who had a clash of heads late on in Tuesday’s match.

The Sandgrounders got off to a dream start when Jack Sampson lashed home an unstoppable 25 yard shot which cannoned in off the post.

A majestic ball in from Jordan Richards was delicately and precisely headed in by an unmarked Jason Gilchrist to double the lead.

The shell-shocked hosts found themselves further behind when Regan Ogle’s long throw was headed in by Sampson.

Watson’s charges were not finished there, Dion Charles effort ricocheted over the keeper to give the rampant Sandgrounders a 4-0 lead at the break.

This was a complete performance from the Sandgrounders and key to setting the tone was the central midfield combination of David Morgan and Marcus Wood.

Harriers made three changes at the break and though they eventually pulled a goal back, the visitors held on to cap off an excellent and important victory.

Kidderminster pulled a goal back in the second half, Jimmy O’Connor directing the ball home

NURSES MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE We’re recruiting experienced nurses helping to create future clinical leaders.

“

It’s a great time to be a nurse at Mersey Care” says Trish Bennett, the Trust’s Executive Director of Nursing and Operations. “We’ve recently been appointed to deliver community services across Liverpool and Sefton and this gives us an exciting opportunity to bring together community physical and mental health. In fact we’re the only

trust in the region that provides the full spectrum here, from physical health in the community to high secure inpatient mental health.

“We’re using this opportunity to expand and create even more clinical and career development opportunities for nurses; including our impressive comprehensive leadership programme. This ensures that

our nurses continue to develop and maximise their potential, ensuring they are supported and empowered to bring the ‘best of themselves’ to work and provide the very best care for our patients”.

I am incredibly proud of the work we do here at Mersey Care and I know that experienced nurses who want to develop their career could be too.

An exciting opportunity to bring together community physical and mental health.

ince summer 2016 we have successfully become a foundation trust. We acquired specialist learning disability services provider Calderstones Partnerships NHS Foundation Trust in 2016 and more recently became a provider of local community physical health services in Liverpool and Sefton and mental health services in HMP Liverpool.

In 2017 the CQC rated us as ‘good’ overall. At the heart of all we do is our commitment to ‘perfect care’ – care that is safe, effective, positively experienced, timely, equitable and efficient.

We support our staff to do the best job they can and work alongside service users/patients and carers to design and develop future services together. We’re currently delivering a programme of organisational and service transformation to significantly improve the quality of the services we provide and safely reduce cost as we do so.

We call this continuous improvement in quality and cost, ‘striving for perfect care’. Our aim is to play a full part in the health and social care economies we serve, by promoting and driving greater integration between mental and physical health and social care.

As a Global Digital Exemplar Mersey Care has an extra £5million to transform digital health services.

£80 MILLION INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE

W

Our £25 million Clock View Hospital opened in March 2015, which exemplifies our commitment and ability to provide therapeutic environments and approaches to care.

Our addictions service inpatient detoxification facility has been extensively refurbished and renamed, but that’s not all. We’re building a new hospital for our communities in Southport and work is well underway on our new medium secure unit currently being constructed at Maghull Health Park.

One of the main reasons we have the custom of giving and receiving presents at Christmas is to remind us of the presents given to Jesus by the Wise Men: Frankincense, Gold and Myrrh.

Now we all know that thing about how Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. What isn’t always so wonderful however, is that last minute dash for presents.

The sense of panic that washes over you at the thought of what to buy your nearest and dearest. Yet at this time of year, with the big day rapidly approaching, many of us are still scratching around with not a clue as to what we will buy, or indeed where we will start. But don’t let this confusion take over you. Keep a cool head, chill out with some Christmas music, pour yourself a drink and get your Christmas list ready!

We have worked on some ideas and strategies for the festive season and we hope you will find these tips helpful and useful.

Make the present an event. Get creative with the packaging! Rather than just handing them a gift in regular wrapping paper, think of the gifting experience as an event—and you want to make sure they enjoy it. Hide

their gift and send them on a present hunt to find it.

Rather than just giving them a gift card, hide a secret message in a book that sends them to the gift card code. And never underestimate the sheer fun of unwrapping presents. Sometimes, quantity can mean quality, when it’s a bunch of small, individually wrapped items.

Give an experience. If she loves Les Mis but already has the book and the DVD, why not buy her tickets to see the show live at the theatre. Does a relative ever talk about something that he or she would love to try or experience, but they have never got around to buying it for themselves? There are a host of companies now that specialise in gift experience days, with an unbelievable choice of experiences available all over the UK. There’s something for everyone, no matter what age they are. From luxurious pamper sessions and full day cooking courses, to more extreme experiences that involve jumping out of planes or racing around Silverstone in single seater racing cars.

129 Eastbank Street, Southport Tel: 07988 743636 Make a list of all the things the person is interested in and things that define who they are. Make this list long—spend a couple of minutes writing down as many things as you can. Now brainstorm something to go with every item on that list, big or small. You don’t have to give all of those gifts, but you’re likely going to hit on ideas you wouldn’t have otherwise thought of, and when you combine a few of them, your giftee will appreciate how personal and thoughtful you were.

Ask yourself what that person needs. I know what you’re saying right now. Stop it.

They DO need something. The key is to think outside the box. What does somebody who is super successful in business need? More time, probably. Well there are lots of products out there to help people run their lives more efficiently.

Include a little bit of yourself. Make it personal in a different way—personalised from you rather than for them. Create a piece of art, write a song, knit something for them—you get the idea. Combine this with one (or more) of the above suggestions for an ultra-personalised gift.

Be charitable. Okay, so someone on your list REALLY does has everything they need? I don’t believe you, but that’s okay, because there are a lot of other people out there who don’t have everything they need. Find something they’re passionate about and donate to that cause. Did they once volunteer somewhere?

Are they an animal lover? Why not donate to a rescue centre or adopt an animal for them. There are thousands of charities helping to get people off the streets, curing diseases and rehabilitating people. Make a gift to a cause that matters in their name.

That momentous occasion, which happens just once a year, when we look forward to devouring a mountain of pigs in blankets and chewing on tender slices of turkey, surrounded by our nearest and dearest. But is it really so terrible to assume that there are other families out there, that may have a tradition of going out for Christmas dinner? Truth is, it is each to their own, every family will have their own routine on December 25th and deciding on a way to suit everybody is never an easy task.

If you do decide to stay at home and cook on Christmas day, first things first, you know exactly what you’re eating. For those people unable to eat certain food groups such as gluten, dairy or meat, the best thing about eating at home is you know exactly what

CHRISTMAS 2018 AT BRIARS HALL BOXING DAY

3 Course Menu with a choice of sittings

has gone in to the meal you are eating. This inevitably means less stress and you can simply enjoy your Christmas meal without worrying.

Of course cooking at home won’t always be plain sailing. There’s a mountain of food to prepare, a number of heads to think about, table settings to be laid as well as that Christmas food shop, which can be both time consuming and stressful, as well as expensive. And finally, that thing we all dread on Christmas day. No, not the preparation nor the hours spent in a hot kitchen - it’s the washing up. After enjoying a hearty Christmas meal, this is something that absolutely no one wants to do, certainly not the chef who has spent most of their day prepping and cooking.

This is the real downside to cooking at home at Christmas - the mess that is caused in the kitchen during the day. A mountain of pots, pans, baking trays, plates and cutlery that no one enjoys cleaning up afterwards and that’s a FACT!

Going out for food on Christmas Day doesn’t have to be a drama. In fact, as more and more restaurants now cater for those wishing to dine out on the most festive day of the year, it has now become easier and more convenient than ever before. Getting out of the house means you don’t have to stress over cooking for hours on end. You’re able to sit back, relax and spend some time with the family, and ultimately, that’s what Christmas is all about. Another advantage to eating out is the choice on offer, and the fact that not everyone has to eat the same food. A large majority of restaurants will either offer a set menu or provide several options to choose from. So for vegetarians, vegans or dairy free members of the group,

they don’t have to feel awkward about asking for something that is better suited for them.

So this year, rather than tucking into your Christmas dinner with hair smelling of sprouts, in clothes splattered in goose fat and gravy, still wearing your slippers, why not get dressed up, relax and enjoy delicious food cooked by someone else.

Spend time with the family rather than spending the day cooped up in the kitchen slaving away over a hot stove. The only real downside we can think of, NO LEFTOVERS. And that may well be the deal breaker for some. After all, what is Christmas without one of those weird, yet delicious midnight Turkey sandwiches, crammed full of every leftover imaginable?

Decorating Your Home for Christmas Each year, the festive season seems to start earlier and earlier. No sooner have the children gone back to school, than the Christmas decorations are starting to go up in shops. However, that said, planning in advance can mean less stress when those busy Christmas weeks do actually arrive. This way, you’ll have everything waiting in the wings before the madness begins.

For those celebrating Christmas, it really is one of the most special times of year. It means quality time spent with family and friends, generosity and good will to all.

Once you have your Christmas tree in place, why not think about decorating the mantelpiece above the fire. Simple white lights set the stage for a warm mood. Create a seamless look throughout the room by using the same kind of lighting on your Christmas tree, fireplace, door frames and even your

Updating your interior décor is the first step when it comes to spreading some festive cheer.

Traditionally, the living room is the main gathering place for Christmas. Decorating a Christmas tree is a time honoured tradition for many households. It’s wonderful to pass houses at this time of year with beautifully decorated trees taking pride of place in the window, decked out in festive lights and ornaments. The first step in decorating your tree is adding the lights.

These will typically come on green or white wire strands. Choose a colour that matches your tree so the wire will be hidden. Illuminating your Christmas tree from the inside out will give it the most dynamic look. When it comes to baubles and tree decorations, to showcase your favourites, place them in prime positions on the tree first. Next, hang your larger ornaments, spacing them evenly and then fill in the gaps with the medium and smaller sized baubles. Be sure to hang some closer to the trunk to create interest and depth.

windows. Incorporating some of these lights with some seasonal, artificial foliage such as holly, ivy and berry branches will bring an outdoor winter element to the room. Place cream or off white pillar candles in a staggered configuration along with some small topiary plants, glass hurricanes filled with colourful Christmas ornaments and a festive wreath hung on the wall over your mantel arrangement to complete the look.

Christmas cushions, richly hued throws, fun festive kitchen dish towels, scented candles and glass bowls filled with Christmas ornaments will all add a festive touch around the home. Christmas decorating is all about bringing back those happy memories as well as creating new ones and thankfully, it’s always a ‘more the merrier’ mentality with Christmas décor.

Indulging a person’s sense of smell is another way to wow your family and friends over the Christmas period. Seasonal scents such as pine, cranberry, gingerbread, fir and cinnamon are just a few options for candles and scented décor. Evoke seasonal florals, freshly baked food and Christmas-time cooking spices with scented oil warmers on side tables along with pine cones in a statement bowl on your coffee table for subtle festive fragrance.

Christmas trees have been around for a millennium in northern Europe, but the first one did not appear in the UK until the 1830’s. When Prince Albert, the Consort of Queen Victoria put up a Christmas tree at Windsor Castle in 1841, this began the popular tradition of having a decorated tree up at Christmas and by the 1860’s, it was common in place in households around the country.

Bringing your family back around the fire this Christmas In the late 1840’s, almost by accident, London sweet-maker Tom Smith invented the cracker. It was a simple idea inspired by traditional, paper wrapped French bonbons. These were included, along with mottos or riddles but initially sales were slow and it wasn’t until he found a way to make them ‘crack’ when pulled apart that sales really began to take off. Hats and other novelty gifts were later added and the tradition continues today, over 150 years on.

Classic Christmas Films for all the Family It’s a Wonderful Life

Elf

Miracle on 34th Street

This movie is the Christmas classic to define all Christmas classics and is one of a handful of films worth an annual viewing.

George Bailey has so many problems he is thinking about ending it all - and it’s Christmas! As the angels discuss George, we see his life in flashback.

As George is about to jump from a bridge, he ends up rescuing his guardian angel, Clarence - who then shows George what his town would have looked like if it hadn’t been for all his good deeds over the years.

Elf is a spirited, good natured family comedy full of Christmas cheer. Will Ferrell stars as Buddy, a regular-sized man who has been raised as an elf in the North Pole by Santa Claus. When the news is finally broken to Buddy that he’s not a real elf, he decides to head to New York City, in search of his biological father – Walter Hobbs, a cynical book publisher played by James Caan. After a DNA test proves that Walter is in fact Buddy’s father, he reluctantly attempts to start a relationship with Buddy with increasinglyy chaotic results.

An old man going by the name of Kris Kringle fills in for an intoxicated Santa in Macy’s famed annual Thanksgiving Day parade. Kringle proves to be such a hit with shoppers that he is soon appearing regularly at the chain’s main store in midtown Manhattan.

When Kringle surprises customers and employees alike by claiming that he really is Santa Claus, it leads to a court case to determine ne his mental health and, more importantly, his authenticity. y.

Traditions: Roast Turkey

LOCAL FAMILY BUSINESS SINCE 1972

P&AAUDIOVISUAL SOUTHPORTHIFI

It’s almost a given that on Christmas day, people across the nation will be carving up a turkey at the dinner table. It is estimated that around 10 million of the succulent birds were consumed last year.

Britons have Yorkshireman William Strickland to thank for the bird. Turkeys were first introduced to England nearly 500 years ago, having been brought over the Atlantic from the New World in 1526 by Mr Strickland. King Henry VIII was the first King of England to feast on turkey but we can thank King Edward VII for turning it into a festive mainstay.

However, even by 1930, it took a week’s wage to buy one and Turkey remained a luxury until the 1950’s.

and enjoyed Plum Pudding. By Victorian times, Christmas puddings had changed into something similar to the ones enjoyed today.

Christmas pudding originated as a 14th century porridge called ‘frumenty’ that was made of beef and mutton, with raisins, currants, prunes, wines and spices. This would be more like a soup and was eaten as a fasting meal in preparation for the Christmas festivities. By the late 1500’s.

Frumenty was slowly changing to a plum pudding having been thickened with eggs, dried fruits and alcohol. It became the customary Christmas dessert around 1650, but in 1664 the Puritans banned it as a bad custom.

Cognitive behaviour psychologist, Doreen Davy releases an eye-opening semi-autobiographical novel.

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Liverpudlian author and psychologist Dr Doreen Davy’s latest book is titled Between the Immensities. This bizarre story was inspired by true events when the author returned to her hometown of Liverpool to care for her elderly mother.

Being a trained psychologist specialising in cognitive behaviour therapy, Doreen prided herself on being rational and objective, always able to find the scientific explanation for anything deemed ‘supernatural’. However, shortly after her Mother’s death strange incidents occurred that could not be rationally explained in any way. This resulted in Doreen’s scepticism being strongly challenged, leading to a significant shift in her views of life and death.

The title Between the Immensities is derived from an old Celtic expression. Many years ago when people used to ask each other how they were doing, some would reply ‘Still struggling between the immensities’. The immensities are birth and death and the bit in between is every day of our life. Doreen explains that “for many, especially for people like my mum who lived through the hungry years of the Great Depression only to be followed by the terrors of the Liverpool Blitzes during World War 2, life really could be a daily struggle”. Doreen’s mother was the last remaining survivor of the Bootle Co-op air-raid shelter which received a direct hit during May 1941, killing many of the people sheltering inside.

As well as being thought provoking and emotionally uplifting, the book provides plenty of humour and inspiration for the reader. Between the Immensities can be purchased online from The Book Guild or Amazon, and is available from all good bookshops. It’s a story not easily forgotten.

Having spent thirty-six years living in New Zealand, psychologist Dr Katherine Moore finally succumbs to pressure from her sisters to return to Liverpool to care for their elderly mother. Moving into her mother’s council flat in Bootle, Katherine is surprised at how negative her ‘lovely gentle mammy’ has become. Her initial unsuccessful attempts to deal with her mother’s curmudgeonly attitude provide great entertainment for the family.

Yearning to connect with her mother in a more meaningful way, Katherine turns to the tools of her trade as a psychologist and gradually the delicate balance of family life is turned upside-down for everyone in the most unexpected ways.

Sprinkled throughout with Liverpudlian humour, between the Immensities is an entertaining and heart-warming story of how a shallow mother/daughter relationship blossoms into a loving and extraordinary alliance.

Dr. Doreen Davy was born and raised in Bootle, Liverpool and now lives in New Zealand where she works as a psychologist specialising in cognitive behaviour therapy “A thoroughly enjoyable read... it is warm, tender, poignant, funny and informative. I really like the Liverpudlian humour.”

Arranging Care for Christmas It might be difficult to see your elderly loved one at Christmas, but there are things you can do to make sure they don’t face the festive season alone.

Arranging care for the holidays Nearly half a million elderly people in the UK are facing the holiday season alone this year. However, there is support available so that no one needs to suffer the sadness of a solitary Christmas. Christmas can be a sad time for the bereaved and a lonely time for the elderly. Dementia, disability and disease, together with friends and relatives being pulled in many different directions can mean that too many people are facing a lonely festive season. However, there is support out there to help bring some holiday cheer. As Age UK says, ‘no one should have no one at Christmas’. So, if either you, or someone you love is potentially facing Christmas alone, don’t suffer in silence.

Help at home Consider a care agency so that a carer can come into the home to provide holiday help, and perhaps some festive treats and a friendly chat. The level of support can respond to each individual’s needs.

From just a few hours here and there to help prepare a meal and clean up the house, to live-in caregivers who can support your loved one in the comfort of their own home throughout the holiday period. A carer can mean that you can get some rest and respite, knowing that you’re loved one is safe.

athena Healthcare Group 01704 535353 | www.ahcg.co.uk LIFESTYLE CHOICES LIVING LIFE TO THE FULL

Residential respite A short period of replacement care in a residential home can be a good option over the Christmas period. Care homes are usually beautifully decorated at this time of year and there are any number of activities in place to entertain and amuse. With lots of people around, they should be able to get the care they need in a safe and social environment.

Classic Christmas Films for all the Family Home Alone

Polar Express

This 1990 comedy is a favourite in many households and stars Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister, a young boy who is mistakenly left behind when his family flies to Paris for their Christmas vacation. Kevin awakens to an empty house and he initially relishes being home alone. However, his excitement soon sours when he realises that two burglars plan to rob the McCallister cCallister residence, and that he alone must protect the family home.

Hollywood heavyweight Tom Hanks and director Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump and Cast Away) reunited in 2004 for Polar Express, an inspiring adventure based on the beloved children’s book by Chris Van Allsburg. When a doubting young boy takes an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole, he embarks on a journey of sself-discovery that shows him that the wonder of llife never fades for those who believe.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas In this live-action adaptation of the beloved children’s tale by Dr. Seuss, the reclusive green Grinch played by Jim Carrey, decides to ruin Christmas for the cheery citizens of Whoville.

Reluctantly joined by his hapless dog, Max, the Grinch comes down from his mountaintop home and sneaks into town to swipe everything Christmas-related from the Whos.

However, the bitter grump finds a hitch in his plans when he encounters the endearing Cindy Lou Who .

CHAPEL GALLERY

The Chapel Gallery remembers the First World War with two poignant displays of artwork, on until January 2019.

Other exhibitions taking place at this time include “Paul Kidby: Discworld & Beyond” and “A Festival Of Tales”.

“Opening The Gates” focuses on the role played by women during the war and in particular local women such as Ellen Preece, who died whilst working in a munitions factory and is commemorated on the war memorial in Coronation Park.

Paul is a fantastic illustrator and was artist of choice for Sir Terry Pratchett.

The show is an amazing collection of drawings and paintings with a great choice of merchandise that would make excellent Christmas gifts for the Pratchett fan in your life!

This exhibition has been funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and WLBC. The second display entitled “Out Of The Shadows” will take place in the Gallery, and at participating businesses in Ormskirk Town Centre.

This Art Trail has been created by members of Learning Stars and Galloway’s, supported and funded by WEA, WLBC and Arts Council England.

The artistic programme has been led by artist Julie James-Turner, who has created “Threads Of Her Past”, one of the artworks, in conjunction with Learning Stars.

These are two fascinating insights into life in West Lancashire and beyond during the First World War.

Continuing on from last years “A Festival Of Tales” exhibition, there will be another chance to see the amazing artwork produced by 5 local and international artists. Inspired by Ormskirk’s heritage, this artwork will be enhanced this year by local school children’s Gingerbread Artwork produced in conjunction with Ormskirk Community Partnership.

Christmas in the Villages: Christmas in Ainsdale Village Three miles south of Southport is the suburb of Ainsdale and it makes up the southern edge of the town, bordering Formby.

Luxury Artisan Christmas Chocolates LOOKING FOR A UNIQUE AND FRIENDLY SHOPPING EXPERIENCE THEN LOOK NO FURTHER THAN MARY JONES VINTAGE & GLAMOUR.

As a village, Ainsdale does not have a long history, indeed for hundreds of years it was a barren sandy area with a few scattered farms, a far cry from the bustling local community it is today.

It’s safe to say that Ainsdale Village really has that local feeling to it as there is such a warmth about the place, not just from the locals but from the shops and businesses who

provide a first class service. Indeed there is such a variety of specialist shops and bars, from vintage glamour, health & beauty, gifts and accessories to fine chocolate, E Cigs, car accessories, bicycles and all you need chemists.

It’s no wonder that Ainsdale Village is the place to shop these days, especially as it is serviced by a train station right on the doorstep.

This hidden gem is nestled in the heart of Ainsdale Village and comprises an extensive showroom of high class, hand picked vintage clothes, jewellery and accessories from the 1920’s to the 1970’s for ladies and gentlemen. Free parking, wifi and refreshments available.

The showroom can be booked for private parties where you can bring your friends and enjoy a complimentary glass of bubbly while trying on clothes from a bygone era.

The showroom is open Tuesday to Saturday from 11am to 4pm but other days and evenings can be booked by appointment.
