For those of you who receive this before Easter Monday, first of all a little reminder about the voucher in last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magazine for an amazing offer to visit Gawsworth Hall on Easter Sunday or Monday entry to the hall and gardens for two people for just £5!! If you need another copy of the magazine, our â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;shopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; will be open on Easter Saturday. Well worth a visit (the Hall not the shop!). This month, we have some more excellent offers for readers dotted throughout the magazine as well as three separate competitions!

More Macc Town tickets to be won on Page 22, some tickets to the Rat Pack show opposite on Page 19 and our usual cash prize competition on Page 48!

Any budding snappers out there? Why not enter the Barnaby photography competition more details are to be found on Page 29, along with some general information about the event coming up in June.

Tireless work going on again already behind the scenes by an all volunteer team to bring you another stunning event hope it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rain again!!

Lots of people working very hard to make more of the very unique place where we live. Love it! More on this theme next month .

In the meantime, /RFDO 3HRSOH is now on Facebook!!

Yes, embracing technology (well, maybe not embracing but getting there slowly with a little help!!).

We need you to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;likeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; us though so we are not the Facebook equivalent of Billy No Mates!! Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there under â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Local People Macclesfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; many thanks in advance!!

So have a lovely Easter weekend (someone on TV just making a Simnel cake fascinating!) and letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look forward now to all the good things going on in our town over the next few months.

In this day and age, it is rare that any business survives for 50 years so to find a local company, still run after 50 years by members of the same family, that is truly worthy of celebration! This months sees the 50th anniversary of the founding of THE HELPFUL HAND, HAND, a Macclesfield based company opened in 1963 by Mr John Paddock. From its original premises at Saville St Garage, it now finds itself in its current large, wellwell stocked shop at No 6 Chester Road (by the lights at the bottom end of Chestergate). Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, it has its own FREE parking at the rear of the shop on Prestbury Road. John is now retired, but the company continues to thrive under the guidance of his two sons, Keith and Simon, both of whom have worked in the business for many years, supported by additional members of the family and a longlong- serving, respected and knowledgeable staff.

So what can The Helpful Hand offer you that the internet or others canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t?

Well, firstly and probably most importantly, the traditional values of a genuinely caring, patient, friendly, personal and sympathetic customer service coupled with a wealth of experience and knowledge gained over the last 50 years. All staff are fully trained and trustworthy. They are more than happy to offer advice freely without pressure to purchase and offer free home demonstrations and the chance to, â&#x20AC;&#x153;try before you buyâ&#x20AC;?.

The shop provides a relaxed and friendly atmosphere to discuss your particular needs and there is a disabled toilet facility located in the shop.

The range of products supplied is immenseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; immenseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; from the smallest items such as needle threaders, long handled milk bottle holders, button hooks, long handled brushes or combs right through to the most advanced electrical equipment. They specialise in highhigh- tech powered and manual wheelchairs as well as supplying specialised pressure relief and comfort seating for the most seriously disabled and non non-- specialised stock such as light and compact wheelchairs, lifterlifter- recliner armchairs, electric profiling beds, battery operated scooters, walking aids, incontinence care and household products. They also offer a full service facility and supply and fit new or prepre- owned stairlifts, both straight and curved, to suite most situations. Furthermore, they cater not just for the elderly but offer the very best products for everyone to whom they can be of help from children, teenagers, right through every age group.

The Helpful Hand is an agent for most of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading mobility manufacturers and are elite dealers and stockists for most large mobility suppliers, including Sunrise Medical and Invacare.

Although they do not sell via the internet, they do have a website at www.thehelpfulhand.co.uk which gives an introduction to the sorts of product they can supply. If there is something you are struggling to do, why not just ask as there may be something that The Helpful Hand can suggest which you may not even have thought about!

Furthermore, The Helpful Hand have been trusted for many years already to work alongside hospitals and occupational therapists throughout the Northwest and provide equipment for the NHS prescription scheme as well as being founder members of the BHTA. So we reckon they must be doing something right!! :H¡G OLNH \RX WR FHOHEUDWH ZLWK XV 6R IRU WKH PRQWK RI $SULO ZH DUH RIIHULQJ DOO 5HDGHUV RI /RFDO 3HRSOH 0DFFOHVILHOG D FHOHEUDWRU\ DQG JHQXLQH

Spiced Rack with of Fragrant Lamb Rice Serves 4

Ready in 1 hour Perfect for a spring Sunday lunch or stylish supper this quick and easy lamb dish is full of flavour. Choose a couple of meaty racks of lamb from a good butcher and score the layers of fat before spreading with the harissa paste. Serve with a cooling garlic and mint yoghurt sauce.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp harissa paste (see Tip) • 2 trimmed racks of lamb, each with 6 bones • 2 red onions, peeled and cut into slim wedges • 50g butter • 225g basmati rice, rinsed and drained • 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed • 750ml vegetable stock • Generous pinch saffron strands • 50g sultanas • 40g flaked almonds, lightly toasted • 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds

Tip:

Harissa paste is a fiery hot North African blend of red chilli peppers and spices – just a little goes a long way so use sparingly. You’ll find it in small jars near the dried herb and spice sections in most large supermarkets.

Preheat the oven to 200C, 400F, Gas 6.

Spread the harissa paste over the lamb racks. Place the racks in an oiled roasting tin and add the onion wedges.

Roast in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes depending on how pink you like your lamb. Remove from the oven. Cover with foil and leave to rest for 10 minutes – the lamb will be juicier and easier to carve.

Meanwhile, heat the butter in a heavybased pan until melted and foaming.

Add the rice and garlic. Fry gently for 1-2 minutes, stirring until the rice is translucent. Pour in the stock. Add the saffron and bring to the boil, stirring.

Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid.

Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cook for 15-20 minutes without removing the lid until the rice is tender and all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat. Fork through to separate the grains.

Add the sultanas, flaked almonds and pomegranate seeds.

Carve the lamb racks into individual cutlets and serve immediately with the fragrant rice and roast onion wedges.

The Journey of The Silkmen!

Sammy Mac and Into the League!

Former Manchester United and Northern Ireland international, Sammy McIlroy, was appointed manager at the start of the 199394. The 1994-95 season saw the Silkmen win the Vauxhall Conference, but they were denied promotion to the Football League due to ground criteria.

Success under McIlroy continued when in 1996 the Silkmen won the FA Trophy at Wembley for a second time. However, their greatest triumph to date came at the end of the 1996-97 season when they won the Vauxhall Conference by five points and this time were admitted into the Football League.

There was instant success in the 1997-98 season when they finished as runners-up gaining automatic promotion and were the only English professional club that season to be unbeaten at home in the League.

Nevertheless, they were relegated for the first time in their history the following year.

2004-05 season saw them reach the play-off semi-finals when they were beaten by Lincoln City. They struggled through the next five seasons, their highest place was 17th in 200506 and their lowest 22nd in 2006-07.

However, they have reached the Third Round of The FA Cup on seven occasions, playing against Coventry, West Ham, Watford, Bolton, Cardiff, Swansea (4th Round), Chelsea and Everton, and were narrowly beaten by Carlisle United in the Northern Area Final of the Football League Trophy in 2005-06.

However, their 13th season proved unfortunate with the sudden and untimely death of manager Keith Alexander in March 2010. Further tragedy hit the club twelve months later when midfielder Richard Butcher died in his sleep just a few weeks shy of his 30th birthday.

Despite this Gary Simpson led his team to a respectable league position but the club’s 15 year stay in the Football League came to and end in 2012 and they are now challenging for the Play-offs from the Conference. If the town can get behind the Silkmen, we can all help the final push with our support!

COME AND GET BEHIND THE BOYS AT THE MOSS ROSE THIS APRIL!..

Ideas for the Easter Holidays ….!!

This spring, Cheshire opens its (barn) doors to the public, inviting visitors to witness nature at work at the height of lambing season.

Tatton Park will be running its ever popular Lambing Fortnight (2 April- 12 April), where visitors are invited to attend talks and view lambing live via a webcam. They say, “We have had a great response to the lambing webcam in previous years and this year, we have synchronised our ewes to lamb within a two week period, so visitors can expect to see even more lambs being born.”

In 2007, solicitors Jobling Gowler moved to their current premises at 250 Park Lane, which many of you will recognise as the former South Park surgery with its lovely light and spacious reception area.

This has created a large display area for local artists and groups to exhibit their work in a central location. Jobling Gowler take no commission but the displays Animal lovers will also have a chance to meet benefit clients, visitors, staff and the springtime arrivals of all shapes and sizes at general public alike and provide an Reaseheath College, Nantwich.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all tried something new and eventually given up on it, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too time consuming, expensive, difficult or the novelty wears off. Then we forget about it completely. But have you ever wondered what might have happened if you had stuck at it?

There are all kinds of hobbies, and skills that go with them: learning a musical instrument, DIY, sports, photography, starting a collection or something as simple as going on a regular walk.

Personally, I have many hobbies of my own, including playing the flute and ukulele; crocheting, and restoring historic vehicles. Interesting, I hear you say and maybe slightly unusual for a fifteen year old girl but I come from a family of wide and varied tastes.

However, there is a huge range of hobbies out there that are cheap, easy, and most importantly of all, good fun!

If funds are low and money is a factor, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to splash out on fancy gear or accessories for many enjoyable pastimes! For example taking up drawing or writing poetry only requires a pen and paper.

In addition there are thousands upon thousands of how-to books, websites and videos that are so easy to access it would be criminal not to take

advantage of them. These all help and encourage you to take on a new hobby and more importantly to persevere when your interest starts to wane.

However, if you do continue to enjoy your newfound hobby and have invested in equipment, you can upgrade or collect more varieties of kit as time goes on. This might include upgrading musical equipment, or investing in more specialised sports wear. Furthermore, if you learn a new skill, it could be beneficial when applying for certain positions and could even be put on your CV. Always remember, when trying something new with a specific set of skills, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardly ever easy the very first time you try, but you must never lose heart.

Stick with it, and eventually, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a brand new accomplishment to show off to friends and family! A side effect of acquiring an interesting new hobby is that there are vast communities around the world that are completely easy to access via the internet and other media. This can introduce you to a variety of fascinating people who can help you along the path to mastering your new art and achieving success.

So, take it from me: learn something new! Pick up an interesting pastime! I promise you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regret it.

Skype | www.skype.com | Free These days, Skype is practically a household name but many overlook the mobile version of this brilliant Internet telephony software as a supremely useful money-saving tool.

Encourage everybody you know to download Skype on their mobile device and you have suddenly significantly reduced the chances of ever using up all of your free minutes. For those of you who find yourselves with £10-£50 (or more) in excess fees, this simple app could save you hundreds in the long run.

Your Top 5 Money Saving Apps The mobile application market represents a cultural shift for the human race. Smartphones are now the ultimate universal digital Swiss Army Knife for every possible facet of our lives and a broad cross section of money-saving utility is now in your pocket. We’re going to take a look at some of the best money-saving apps available for both Apple and Android devices.

Voucher Cloud | http:// www.vouchercloud.com | Free Most people are familiar with the idea that we’re now in a digital era of cutting coupons. Voucher Cloud is an app for all of the best digital offers. Firing it up will find you everything from free five-day passes to your local gym to discounts on driving lessons and reduced prices in restaurants. It’s worth taking the time to sit down and check the T&Cs so you know exactly what it is you’re signing up for. Spending a little time being thorough on the small print however will save you hundreds of pounds per year.

RedLaser Barcode Scanner | http://redlaser.com | Free Ever found yourself in a shop whereby the little voice in your head is asking you whether you might find the item cheaper on the Internet or just round the corner? All that’s needed to answer the question is your smartphone device and a Wi-Fi or mobile Internet connection.

Photograph the barcode

using the on-board camera and it will recognise the item and then cross reference prices with department stores, a vast array of websites, including Ebay, and even local stores. It’s worth noting that the latter feature works best in larger towns and cities. It’s practically impossible to scan a barcode which is not recognised by this incredible app so scout for bargains and save money.

Direct Debit Control Centre | http://www.directdebit. co.uk | Free There’s nothing worse than trying to stay on top of your finances, thinking you’re almost there and subsequently getting stung with excess overdraft fees for an unexpected direct debit.

The Direct Debit Control Centre helps you keep on top of when your direct debits are leaving your account via its early warning system. It will save you money and give you peace of mind. iXpenseIt | http://www. fyimobileware.com | £2.99 So, what will you do with all this money saved? One small but wise investment would be to buy an app that helps you stay on top of your expenditure and few are better than iXpenseIt. There’s a lite version which can be downloaded for free so you can try before you buy. This is as good as mobile money management software gets and the app has won several awards including one from CNN Money Magazine.

You’ll receive pocket-sized help with managing all the different budgets in your life whether business or personal and all that’s required is a little patience adding incomes and expenditures as they occur.

No April Fools:

odd gadgets that really exist

Every year, technology firms join in the April Fools fun - so for example in recent years Google announced self-driving racing cars, Toshiba pretended to make a 3D monocle and video site Animoto offered bark recognition for dogs. Not all odd-sounding technology items are fakes, though: there are some truly strange items and accessories out there.

Some of the oddest items are related to smartphones and tablets, such as the iStuck mobile phone stand (£3) that looks like chewed bubblegum, the Knuckles iPhone case - designed to look like a knuckle duster - and the just-announced iPotty (£39), a child’s potty with a built-in iPad stand. The idea, apparently, is that letting children use iPads while on the potty will make toilet training a fun game.

Other gadgets are more sensible, but rather odd looking - such as the iPhone SLR mount, which enables you to attach enormous SLR camera lenses to your phone. It might look like a novelty item, but the price says otherwise: at the current US exchange rate, it’s £156 plus shipping and tax, and of course that doesn’t include the lenses. The mount is available for both Nikon and Canon lenses and promises

to bring SLR effects such as variable depth of field to “the camera you carry with you every day”.

Another odd-looking but fairly sensible gadget is the Handspresso Auto ESE, a portable espresso coffee maker designed for in-car use. It uses the Easy Serving Espresso pods you might have seen for ordinary domestic coffee makers, and it’s particularly handy for road warriors who’d rather not pay inflated prices for motorway service station coffees. At around £130 it isn’t cheap, but if you use it regularly it’ll soon pay for itself.

You can buy odd things for your house too, and if you’re a musician or a fan of rock music you’ll appreciate the Marshall Fridge. From the outside it looks like the iconic Marshall amplifier stack, and it even uses authentic Marshall parts including the famous logo, fret cloth and brass-finished faceplate with knobs that go up to eleven, but inside it’s - yes! a fridge. The manufacturer says it’s “the ultimate combination of rock and refrigeration”. Yours for £405.

Have you ever wished your fork could nag you about your eating? Good news if you have: the Hapifork (around £70) may

look like an ordinary fork, but it’s stuffed with sensors that monitor how quickly you’re eating. It measures the number of times you put the fork in your mouth, the time between each serving and the total time you’ve spent eating, and vibrates and flashes if you’re eating too quickly. The data is then sent to your smartphone.

For now the line-up doesn’t extend to other cutlery, but manufacturer HAPIlabs says a spoon is in development.

The HAPIfork was one of several odd gadgets shown at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, but it wasn’t the oddest: we saw GPS-enabled gadgets such as the TrakDot luggage locator (around £30 plus a £10 annual subscription), Nano Nails, which turn long fingernails into styluses for touchscreens (price tbc); the iMusic BodyRhythm, a music-powered massager that makes you look like you’re wearing a toilet seat around your neck (currently accepting pre-orders for $69, around £44), and the thoroughly odd Minime, which can create a phone case or a cuddly toy that includes a 3D rendering of your child’s face (or anybody else’s face). Expect to see Minime kiosks in shopping malls later this year.

Grow Your Own Veg As the new gardening year is upon us, why not have a go at growing your own veg because it doesn’t need to be difficult and has the potential to be one of the most productive and fun things you’ve ever done.

by Pippa Greenwood Home grown food tastes better, uses little if any air miles, can save you a packet and is enormously rewarding because you’re getting the top end of the market produce.

Remember to grow what you like and what your garden can grow well - this may take some experimenting, but don’t be afraid to admit that some things are trickier than others in your plot.

If you’re an organic gardener or you simply want to produce pesticide free vegetables, you might need to spend more time thinking about what to grow and how you can best nurture it so that pests, diseases and other problems take a back seat. *Seed and plant catalogues are now more likely to let you know which varieties are relatively pest or disease resistant. *You can also encourage some of the naturally occurring insects that parasite or predate upon the garden pests, or bigger animals such as frogs, toads, hedgehogs and many birds. Insects include: Ladybirds: The larvae and the adults both consume huge numbers of aphids.

Lacewings: The young or

larvae are brilliant predators, eating mainly aphids, but also eating other pests such as thrips and eggs of moths.

Hoverflies: The soft-bodied yellowy grey larvae are great aphid eaters, a single one eating up to fifty in a day, nearing 1,000 in its lifetime.

Ground beetles: Often seen scuttling off at speed when you move pots, low-growing plants or loose slabs, they are mostly black and often shiny and are brilliant predators of many pests including slugs, vineweevils and some insect eggs.

Solitary wasps: Some feed their larvae on aphids, weevils and other insects.

Some of these may already be in your garden, but by growing some suitable plants you can really build up their numbers.

On the whole the simple, nondouble varieties are the most insect friendly, so try some of these: *Phacelia: A hardy annual with bluish perfumed flowers, perfect for direct sowing. *Limnanthes douglasii (the poached egg plant): This yellow and white flowered hardy annual is loved by hoverflies.

*Eschscholzia (the Californian poppy): This pretty yellow, orange and cream flowered plant can be direct sown and thrives in sunny well-drained sites. *Iberis (candytufts): One of the easiest hardy annuals, it has readily available pollen and nectar, perfect for many beneficial insects.

The rewards are plentiful - a regular supply of superbly tasty vegetables, picked when ripened to perfection (not just to make them last longer on the supermarket shelf), gathered as and when you need them and in the quantities you need (cutting down on wastage) plus you can choose the varieties you find tastiest.

Why not grow some great vegetables in 2013? Go to www. pippagreenwood.com and sign up for ‘Grow Your Own with Pippa Greenwood’ – choose from a fantastic selection of vegetables sent to you at just the right time for planting and each week you receive an email from her telling you all you need to know to ensure great results.

You can also sign up for Pippa’s newsletter and receive a free ebook on organic gardening, and buy a hand-picked selection of garden products.
