Over Wyre, one of the North West’s best kept secrets is home to The Seven Stars - and Rick & Catherine Gilbert’s family.

They are the hands behind the pumps of the Seven Stars Hotel in Stalmine and are determined to put it back on the map. Having recently been refurbished in 2010, which dragged the pub kicking and screaming as a great player of the pub scene and one of the most clean and pleasant pubs in the area. Stalmine itself is an area of great rural attractiveness and The Seven Stars is slap-bang right in the middle.

It’s a family affair too with Catherine’s mum doing the cleaning, Rick in the kitchen – with the help of other kitchen staff - and her four year old daughter Hannah chatting to the resident ghost – a presence that has become almost normal in a building which dates back over 300 years.

Having started working for Wetherpsoons and later running a nightclub before taking on other pubs in the North West, Rick and Catherine have plenty of background in establishing places, with Rick taking

firm stand as a troubleshooter and trying to get a pub that all people, locals and passers by will enjoy and keep coming back to – all backed up with their recent 5 star rating from Wyre Borough Council for food hygiene only proves that hard work and dedication is getting the pub back on the map.

Live music features every Saturday, daily specials, home cooked food, steak nights, curry nights and full Sunday Roasts, real ale, bed and breakfast accommodation, a function room, a heated/covered outside smoking area, a large car park – and a challenge that their home-made pizzas are the best for miles around!

“It has a lot of potential and everyone seems to have been very impressed so far with what they have seen,” Catherine says. “We are determined to make a go of it because it’s a good place in such a good area, we have a lovely family and are keen to settle down and for our children grow up here.”

Morris Dancing I saw some Morris dancers in Poulton a few days ago. As I had not seen any of these cloggers for a few years, it set me thinking about where this tradition came from. It turns out that the origins of Morris dancing are lost in the mists of time and that rather than being a strictly northern phenomenon, they might have their roots in mediaeval Spain: Morris being a corruption of the Spanish word for Moorish – moresca.

It seems that Morris dancers have been plying their trade in the UK for quite some time – since the 15th century according to some sources.

And although I got the impression that they were a strictly northern phenomenon, the truth is that there are many different forms of Morris dancing; one of the most distinctive having its home among the honey coloured villages of the Cotswolds.

The tradition is established across wide swathes of the UK, but common features are; accordion music, the garish outfit complete with handkerchiefs, ribbons, waistcoats and knee britches. Sticks adorned with bells and staffs laid on the ground have replaced the swords that were used in the days before health and safety became such an obsession.

Along the Welsh border some Morris teams still wear blackface.

I have not been to Poulton gala for a few years, as the attractions of winning a goldfish in a polythene bag are not as strong as they were.

But I seem to recall Morris dancers being a part of the celebrations, alongside a week of unrelenting rain.

Moss Side Children’s Nursery Stalmine - Over Wyre’s hidden gem

Children’s well-being in the UK came last among developed countries in a recent Unicef report.

It said that in this country busy parents try to compensate for long working hours by buying their children the latest gadgets and designer clothes. In so doing they are cultivating an obsession with consumer goods and it claimed that this was one of the triggers for the recent riots and looting up and down the country.

Sensible parents realize that quality experiences are far more important than any designer item. The Stalmine community, is steeped in rural farming tradition and so we are lucky that many of our families hold traditional values. In a farming community, families, often out of necessity, learn to work as a team, the

younger generation working alongside their elders to get jobs like harvesting, milking or egg-grading done. Generations work and play together and, yes, sit down to eat and converse together when a day’s work is done.

On a farm, life and work are inextricably linked, everyone’s involved, so the family unit is strong as are the individuals who make up that unit.

Involvement is key to a child’s well-being. At Nursery children are involved in every aspect of the day; mostly involving fun but there is also work to be done – tidying up, washing the dolls’ clothes, picking fruit, preparing food etc. and the children respond well when they are given responsibility for such jobs. Indeed, it’s through such activities that they learn to operate in a team, negotiating and problemsolving among themselves. Have you ever noticed that it’s when a child is left on the outside of the action, that the behaviour goes downhill?

Are you following the new Poulton-le-Fylde website?

You can find out all about local community groups, events and news. In September we met the Goal-den Girls – a group of 50+ Fylde coast women with some of them from Poulton – as they prepare to run a marathon, Singleton Cloggers as they organised their Weekend of Dance, and Poulton Band as they played at The Grand Theatre in Blackpool!

The site covers the work of Poulton Partnership, the community group who organise events like Poulton Gala and the forthcoming Poulton Christmas Festival on 2 December. That’s a growing celebration which gets better every year and is for everyone to enjoy.

An event is being organised to officially launch the website on 3 November in the Teanlowe Centre, which all the community groups, schools, shopkeepers and local people are invited to as a celebration of all that’s good about Poulton.

So if you have any news stories or forthcoming events to share please get in touch on 07932 143431 or email to jane@ visitPoulton-le-fylde.co.uk and we’ll be only too happy to include them.

HAMBLETON W.I. Barry Band a retired reporter from the Lancashire Evening Post and Blackpool Gazette who had interviewed many of the artistes who headlined shows in Blackpool was our entertainer for the monthly meeting with “Blackpool’s Old Time Comedy Greats”.

He described how the Great Comedians, all northerners, came to the many theatres at Blackpool in the 1950’s as an antidote to the austerity war years. For 16 weeks of the “Season” Comics such as Harry Corris, Al Read, Norman Evans, Hilda Baker, Jimmy Clitheroe, Frank Randle, George Formby, Dora Bryan, and of course Ken Dodd entertained packed houses.

Our Ken gave over 2,500 performances whilst at Blackpool and never finished on time, you had to be sure to have an alternative method of getting home when you saw Ken’s shows, the stage manager used to throw a set of keys on stage, as if to say “you lock up when you’ve finished”!

Hilda Baker became a household name after 34 years on the boards and one T.V. act with a silent male partner whom she called Cynthia with a catch phrase “She knows you know” and had to turn to character acting for a living and was very successful as Nellie Pledge in “Nearest and Dearest” with Jimmy Jewel in a fictitious pickle factory. Hilda was famous for her malapropisms “brandy we only use that for mediaeval purposes” Frank Randle had a ‘blue’ reputation but in fact every word was censored by the Royal Chamberlain’s office in London where clerks would blue pencil out any reference to the Royal Family or swear words. The local police always came on first nights to check that all was in order.

Al Read had been a decorator, a driving instructor, proprietor of a sausage factory when he got the showbiz bug and used overheard conversations and local people’s sayings for his observational comedy act.

Barry was thanked by Marjorie Fleming for reminding us of how great these comedians were and entertaining us with his anecdotes. The competition was a Funny postcard and was won by Glennis Dunckerly.

Lancashire Federation WI Bowling Finals Sunday 18th September, Hambleton had two teams who got through to the finals, unfortunately we were drawn against each other in the semi-finals so Bernice Heeley and Chris Seed were knocked out at this stage, Patricia Hardy and Patricia Furness went on to the final round but were beaten by the team from Crank. Well done for getting so far.

DATES FOR YOUR DIARY: Mon 10th October 7.30 pm Monthly Meeting Our Speaker is Malcolm Tranter on the “History of Liverpool” competition “Beatles Memorabilia” Mon 17th October. Craft Club at the Social Club 1.30 pm Tues 25th October 73rd Birthday Party at Ryecroft Hall Thurs 27th October. Luncheon Club at the Bourne Arms, Knott End. 12 for 12.30.
