REFURBISHMENT FUNDRAISING UPDATE! It’s been a busy 6 months since Roe Green Play Park set out to raise £100,000 to upgrade the existing site that is desperately in need of refurbishment to avoid closure.

Since January the park has secured over £4,000 in grant funding from Salford City Council’s Recycle & Reward scheme, Salford CVS Little Pot of Wellbeing, Salford 4 Good’s Fund 4 Good and Worsley Rotary with more applications in the pipeline.

Our fundraising events - the Spring Fair, Easter egg hunt, Quiz Night and Family Dog Walk were all a great success, really bringing the community together. We hope to see you all at ‘Celebration on the Green for the Queen’ on 12 June which will see Roe Green transformed with

entertainment, food and drink, stalls, games and activities.

ALL money raised at our events go to your play park.

If you would like to make a donation to help save your park, please visit our ‘BT MyDonate’ page to make an online donation and, with GiftAid, every £1 is worth £1.25 to the play park fund.

We are also delighted to announce we have secured more funds from the Council so, together with funds already raised by the play park committee, we now need to raise just £35,000 to reach the goal we all set in October with works hopefully starting in Q1 2017.

WE CAN DO THIS! For more information please visit our website www.roegreenplaypark.co.uk or follow us on Roe Green Play Park Roe Green Park

SALFORD WHEELS FOR ALL Making a Positive Impact in our Community Nine year-old Nathaniel Breward is riding high, thanks to a fabulous local charity.

Nathaniel, who attends Monton Green Primary School and lives in Worsley with his mum and dad, had a tendon release operation on his left leg back in 2014 and, as a consequence, has found it difficult to ride a bike.

Since attending the Salford Wheels For All mid-week and weekend sessions at Cleavley Athletics Track in Winton, however, both Nat's cycling and his self-confidence have come on in leaps and bounds, to the point where is now able to ride his new free-wheel Mountain Bike with the aid of stabilisers.

"We cannot thank Salford Wheels For All enough for all their support with Nat," say Mum and Dad, Jon and Amanda. "To see him ride his bike independently for the very first time was such a wonderful experience for us both, and it was all down to the team at Salford Wheels For All.” “It's a truly wonderful charity that welcomes people of all ages and physical abilities. It is open on a regular basis and at just £3, it’s worth every penny. You can use the many varied cycles provided by Salford Wheels For All or you can take your own bike. It’s not just for individuals either, but great fun for all the family."

Cycling Projects is a national charity based in the North West (Reg Charity No 1003309), delivering inclusive cycling initiatives in local communities since 1991. Our aim is to encourage health improvement, social inclusion and to provide adapted cycling to anyone with a disability or differing needs.

When you lose a loved one, it can be difficult to deal with the legalities that follow.

We help sort through assets, prepare the probate papers and make the application to the Probate Registry to obtain the Grant to enable the Executor or Administrator to realise the assets of an estate and distribute the estate in accordance with the will or rules of intestacy (where someone dies without making a will).

We understand that this is a difficult time and we offer a sensitive and professional service to deal with an estate following death in the most efficient manner possible.

If the circumstances are appropriate, home visits can be arranged.

We work, where appropriate, with carefully selected professionals including Accountants, Independent Financial Advisors, Pension Specialists and Stockbrokers to ensure you receive the best advice possible.

Home is where the heart is and that is where we all like to be My name is Michelle Corcoran and I have worked in the care sector, in and around Salford, for the majority of my career. I quite simply love my job and consider it a privilege to support the elderly, in their own home, in my own community.

I am delighted that I have now secured the position of Registered Care Manager with Home Instead Senior Care, Salford. The ethos of the company is everything that I believe in - from a minimum of one hour visits to making sure our clients and CAREGivers are at the centre of everything we do. It is a real honour to work for a care company that is achieving ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ in all the Care Quality Commission (CQC) Inspections.

Although our offices are based in Swinton, next door to the Humphrey Booth Centre on Worsley Road, we cover several areas in Salford including: Boothstown, Clifton, Eccles, Ellenbrook, Ellesmere Park, Irlams’o’th’height, Monton, Roe Green, Walkden, Worsley and beyond.

A large percentage of my time is spent searching for the right type of CAREGiver and chatting to people about the services we offer.

We are totally focused on providing top quality care for older people, care which is tailored to the needs of individuals and which allows them to remain in their own homes, leading an independent life, for as long as possible.

Our carefully chosen CAREGivers have a thirst for learning, a passion for caring and a desire to make a positive difference to the lives of people in our community. It is a prerequisite that our CAREGivers have natural empathy and compassion together with a healthy attitude to work. Home Instead Senior Care delivers in-depth professional, on-going training and as a result experience in the field of care is not mandatory.

We are hoping to recruit in excess of 50 CAREGivers over the forthcoming months and I would urge anyone who has just a few hours to spare each week, to give me a call or pop into our offices for a chat…… the kettle is always on and we have biscuits at the ready!

Working with people makes every day different some days are better than others - but there is always a part of each and every day, even a difficult day, when something takes place or something is said which makes my job very worthwhile and extremely rewarding.

Each Home Instead Senior Care franchise office is independently owned and operated.

Village News

Worsley Village Summer Festival 2016 9th July to 28th July WORSLEY VILLAGE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION .................................................................

Worsley Village is getting ready for a busy summer! We have a very active Village Community Association and the Committee are working hard to organise events which local residents will be excited to get involved in. We are also staging an exhibition at Worsley Library and will be asking residents for memorabilia to form the basis of the exhibition.

Below you will find the programme of events for Summer 2016. We are fortunate to have Worsley Green, a lovely open space used by many of us throughout the year to sit and watch the world go by, to play on, to walk the dogs and to play sport.... and this summer it will be the heart of the festival, hosting our main events; ‘Concert on the Green’ and ‘Fair on the Green’.

We look forward to seeing you all there!

SUMMER HEALTH & FITNESS TIPS of bodyweight and weighted training, you are guaranteed to burn fat and build muscle in a much more enjoyable way.

Nutrition...

Motivation...

With contradicting theories posted daily on what you should eat, or what diet to follow, it’s not easy to know what to do!

Summer is almost upon us and we tend to lose motivation and head towards the beer gardens and ice cream vans rather than going to the gym.

This is where ‘goal-setting’ is key.

Remember, what works for one person, won’t necessarily work for another, so there is no actual ‘right’ diet. However,there are a few basic rules you can stick to. By keeping your processed foods intake to a minimum, eating plenty of vegetables and sticking with a high protein and good fat diet, you are certain to look and feel better come summer.

Everybody has a goal, whether it is to achieve that ever escaping six-pack or get a PB on you’re 5k run.

By setting weekly/fortnightly goals, you will be able to reach your main goal much faster. Training with a partner will also help greatly. You’ll be much less likely to have that beer or choc-ice if you have to admit it to your friend!

Training...

Written by David Mollard, Personal Trainer at Worsley Park

Mixing up your training will mean that you will be a lot less likely to get complacent. So by keeping sessions short and intense (HIIT) with a mixture

Roman Fort at Castlefield

Roman Road...Roman Treasure The Roman Conquest of Britain in 43AD (the first incursion by Julius Ceasar in 55BC was short-lived), aimed to take possession of the whole Island. The conquest was rapid in the south with only Caractacus and Boudicca offering any major resistance. When it came to the North however, the Brigante tribe, which occupied present-day Lancashire and Yorkshire, it was a different matter; The Queen of the Brigantes, Cartimandua, was inclined to cooperate with the Romans and Brigantia became a “client state”. However, after she and her husband Venutius divorced, all changed. Venutius rebelled against the Romans, starting a period of spasmodic uprisings that were to last for over 100 years.

So the north, unlike the pacified south, became a pattern of fortified towns protected by forts, walls and defence in depth. Roman legions were mostly based in the north and Hadrian’s Wall was built as much to keep the Brigantes in, as to keep the Picts and the Scotti out for fear they might combine.

THE ROAD Fortified towns in our area included Mamucium (Manchester), Deva (Chester), Ribchester (near Preston) and Coccium (Wigan).

Manchester was a major communications centre.

From the fort at Castlefield no fewer than six Roman roads radiated to other centres of Roman power that also included Eboracum (York) and Melandra Castle in the High Peak.

Traces of some of those remain in the presentday - A6 and A57 roads that rest on Roman foundations!

40 ON OUR DOORSTEP

It is the road that led to Coccium (Wigan) that is of particular interest to us locally. It left the Mamucium fort and settlement, crossed the nearby Irwell and headed toward the high ground of Hope and Buile Hill on Eccles Old Road. From there it proceeded across Ellesmere Park to Monton’s Three Sisters Park.

The Park is so named for the springs that feed three ponds.

It was at this point, in 2005, that an archaeological dig unearthed the road just a foot beneath the surface. It was in remarkably good condition, still paved with small stones and 23 feet wide with a double drainage ditch.

From Monton the road ran across part of Worsley Golf course and Broadoak Park towards Leigh Road in Worsley. Almost parallel with that road, it crossed the Marriott Golf Course to meet what is now the East Lancs Road on its way to Atherton and Wigan.

Clearly visible in 1984 on aerial photos, its Aggar (raised road) and ditches were destroyed in the landscaping of the golf course. It was, typically for the Romans, virtually straight all the way from Manchester to Wigan.

Think of the Roman Legions that built it and kept the peace along it for 300 years...

THE TREASURE But that is not the end of the story. Troubled times occurred many times in the history of The Roman Empire. One such happened in 260AD when the Empire suffered an economic crisis (we know all about that kind of thing!).

For years people had been clipping coins and

Local History

casting fakes from the collected fragments, including base metals to boost the weight.

When money cannot be trusted, unrest breaks out and a regional commander in Gaul, Postumus, decided to split from the Empire and declare a separate “Gallic Empire”, which included Britain. He tried to bring some economic order to the currency but his “Empire” lasted for only fourteen years when Rome defeated the breakaways and the true Empire was restored.

But the rot had set in...

Just thirteen years later, a man who had risen through the military ranks of Rome, one Carausius, was made Commander of the Roman naval fleet based in the English Channel. His job was to eliminate piracy by Franks and Saxons who regularly preyed on shipping and raided the coasts of the North Sea and Channel. Carausius, the Emperor Maximium decided, had become a pirate himself and he ordered his execution. In 287AD Carausius learned of this and decided to declare himself Emperor of Britain and Northern Gaul. With the support of 4 legions (probably bought), he successfully survived an attempted invasion to oust him and he appealed to the British population with a vague promise of native autonomy. For seven years he ruled, issuing new currency with real value and attempting to placate Rome, but to little avail. The Empire recaptured all the Gaulish (France and Belgium) territory and he was left with only Britain.

His ally and Finance Minister, one Allectus, delivered the final blow. In 293AD he assassinated Carausius and declared himself “Emperor” - so much for job security, death delivered by an accountant! Allectus, in turn,

Three Sisters: A section of a roadside ditch

was killed three years later when Rome re-conquered Britain, but not before he had issued currency bearing his own name.

SO WHERE IS THE “TREASURE”?

This brings us back to the road to Wigan. In troubled times what do people do with their money? They hide it. All over Britain a hoarding and hiding took place. Thousands of “hoards” of coins and jewellery have been discovered by metal detectors in recent years and many of these have been in close proximity to Roman roads. Many such hoards were secreted in the time of Carausius and Allectus and locally we are no exception.

In 1947, in the course of construction work, such a hoard was discovered in Boothstown.

Some 550 bronze coins in a broken pot were unearthed and they were dated between 259AD to 278AD. These are now in the British Museum, with some in the Manchester Museum.

In 1989 a much greater bonanza was found at Boothsbank Farm, just a mile from the first discovery. In a pit lined with straw 1,070 coins were deposited. Over the years since they were hidden, the silver that they were made from had fused them together into three large lumps which have yet to be separated. Only 14% remained loose and it is believed that the coins represent the reigns of eleven different emperors. This hoard now resides in Ordsall Hall. Who knows what still exists out there, near to our very own Roman road?
