Police chief pleased at drop in robberies

By Simon Drury

CASES of robbery have fallen dramatically in Cheshire, according to figures released by police. There were 84 fewer victims of personal robbery compared with the previous year, which equates to a 16% reduction. The figures show an improvement in the business sector too, with attacks on premises falling by 19%. Cheshire’s chief constable, Peter Fahy, said: “Overall, crime in Cheshire fell by 12% during the past year and it is particularly pleasing to see reductions in robberies, as they involve attacks on individuals and theft of their personal property. “I believe this sort of crime is falling because of the work we as a constabulary are doing – we are targeting the right people and using neighbourhood policing to get more intelligence from residents. “Many of these offenders carry out robbery to feed a drug habit and often take big risks for small amounts of money. “We are pleased that after our work to arrest and charge them, the courts treat robbery very seriously, no mat-

ter what value was taken. “We will continue to put pressure on those criminals who are intent on depriving ordinary people of their money and property and businesses of their profits. Every victim of robbery in Cheshire is one victim too many.” “Although the chances of being a victim of robbery are low and getting lower all the time, there are steps you can take to protect yourself even more. “It is the younger people in our communities who are the main victims of personal robberies, as they

tend to carry expensive items. Our data shows the majority of robberies happen on Friday and Saturday nights between 6pm and 11pm, which is when young people tend to be out and about. “In particular, iPods are attractive to robbers and we are advising young people and all members of the public to think carefully about how and where they use expensive personal items such as mobile phones, MP3 players and sat-navs. “Such small items are very attractive to thieves as they are easily concealed when stolen and expensive to buy.”

THIS NEWSPAPER SUPPORTS RECYCLING

Full steam behind: Relive a golden age

Recycled paper made up 80.3% of the raw material for UK newspapers in 2005

A NEW book by Winsford transport and heritage writer and photographer Keith Langston is on the bookshelves. British Steam 1948-1968 is his fifth for the partnership formed by publisher Morton’s Media and bookseller WH Smith. It chronicles the 20 years during which British Railway operated steam locomotives and commemorates the 40 years since the end of steam. The majority of the 2,500-plus images are published for the first time. Keith, former Northwich Vics secretary and one-time landlord of The Roebuck in Witton Street, has already been commissioned to produce another steam railway book. British Railways came into existence as a nationalised company on January 1, 1948, replacing the GWR, SR, LMS and LNER. The company went on to operate standard gauge steam locomotives for more than 20 years. However, by midnight on August 8, 1968, it had ceased to do so. Almost 40 years have passed since the last steam-hauled train on the British mainline network – the BR Fifteen Guinea Special, from Liverpool to Carlisle – and

Women prepare to run for lives THOUSANDS of women will be converging on Arley Hall this Sunday to take part in the Cancer Research UK Race For Life. The non-competitive event kicks off at 11am and will see runners, joggers and walkers take to the 5km course around the Arley estate. It is the fourth time Arley has hosted the Race for Life and this year organisers are hoping to raise more than £180,000. Event co-ordinator Shelagh Bebington said: “The Race for Life event at Arley Hall and Gardens is always hugely popular. “Once again we had a tremendous response from the public and places filled up very quickly. “We have a fantastic fundraising record over the years and we are hoping to continue with that this time around.” Further details are available by visiting www. arleyhallandgardens.co. uk or www.raceforlife.org.

SHOPPERS are being urged to be vigilant after two pensioners had their purses stolen on Friday in Northwich supermarkets. In the first incident, an 88-year-old in Sainsbury’s had her purse containing £60 stolen from her shopping bag. A short time later, a woman in her 70s shopping in Tesco discovered that someone had also stolen her purse, containing £40 in cash.

A COMMUNITY was left in mourning after a four-year-old boy died after a collision with a car outside the Comberbach Rose Fête. Little James Gregory, who was described by his devoted parents as a “beautiful, caring boy” died after being struck by a car in Cogshall Lane at 1.30pm on Saturday. He suffered serious head injuries and was taken to Warrington General Hospital, where he later died. The 48-year-old driver was uninjured. James’ mum and dad, Emma Strachan and Andrew Gregory said their son’s smile could “light up the darkest of rooms”. James attended Little Leigh Pre-school before joining Building Blocks nursery. He was due to start at Comberbach Primary School in September and had already visited for a few half-days. He was described by his parents as a “loving brother” to siblings Milly and Jordan. A memorial service will be held at Knutsford Unitarian Chapel on Tuesday at 2.30pm followed by a committal at Altrincham Crematorium. Anyone attending the funeral has been asked to refrain from wearing black. ■ Anyone who witnessed the accident is asked to call the specialist investigations unit on 01244 614 270.

ROYAL APPOINTMENT: Comberbach Village Rose Queen and Princess, Victoria Malaspina, 11, and Alexandra Price, 11. IT WAS for the sake of the children that Comberbach Rose Fete went ahead on Saturday. Many were unaware of the tragedy that had occurred, and after consulting parents, teachers and local clergy organisers, although shocked and upset themselves, decided to carry on with it. In the end the parade went ahead in silence and instead of touring the

village headed directly to the arena at Comberbach Primary School. A fête spokesman said: “We decided to go ahead with the fete because some of the children weren’t aware of what went on and couldn’t understand what was happening.” Music was kept to a minimum for the traditional pageantry in the arena and the event ended with prayers for the little boy lead by local clergy.

Appeal for ‘cost-effective compassion’ on Alzheimer’s CHESHIRE County Council is calling for drugs which slow down Alzheimer’s disease progression to be available to older people who are in the early stages of the condition. The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) says the NHS should not prescribe the inhibitor drugs to anyone in this category. The county council will be writing to all Cheshire MPs calling for them to seek a review of that decision. Letters will also be sent to Western Cheshire and Central and Eastern Cheshire Primary Care Trusts. The issue was raised by county councillor Eveleigh Moore-Dutton

in a notice of motion which came before Friday’s community executive for decision. She said: “The overriding benefit of these drugs is it allows Alzheimer’s sufferers to live with independence and dignity. “I have looked carefully into this subject and have spoken to families and to older people who believe that drugs costing £2.50 a day could make a huge difference to their lives. “The county council is supporting the campaign to have the rules changed. “At the moment, we have

a situation where the NHS has a relatively small saving in its budget because the drugs are not prescribed, whilst at the other end of the scale the county council has, at a huge cost, to fund care earlier than would be needed if the drugs were administered. “In addition to this, a terrible human price is paid by sufferers and the families who care for them. “Allowing the drugs to be given in the early stages of the

Cllr Eveleigh Moore-Dutton

disease would show compassion and cost-effectiveness.” A report before county councillors stated drugs such as Aricept, Exelon and Reminyl “have the effect of reducing or stabilising the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, with consequent beneficial effects for the affected people and their carers”. Executive member for adult social services Lynn Hardwick said: “In Cheshire, it is estimated that the number of people over 85 will rise between 2005 and 2021 by 63% from 14,000 to 23,000. On this projection, 2,852 people are likely to have Alzheimer’s disease.”

No cap on police spending – yet THE Government has backed down after threatening to cap Cheshire Police Authority’s spending. Capping would have meant the Government setting a lower budget than the authority approved in February, requiring new Council Tax bills to be sent out. However, the Government intends to take action to protect Council Tax-payers in future by limiting the Council Tax precept increases in 2009-10 and 2010-11 to 3% in each year. The news came in a written statement to the Commons by the Minister for Local Government, John Healey. Police authority chairman Peter Nurse said: “This is good news for Cheshire. The authority is delighted that the Government has decided not to cap

the 2008-09 budget for policing in Cheshire. Residents told us that they wanted to see improvements in policing services and that they were prepared to pay more. “We do, however, need to consider the second part of the minister’s statement, which restricts Council Tax increases in the next two years to only 3%. “This will be very challenging, particularly with the threat of rising inflation. We will consider this carefully in the coming months as we plan next year’s budget and may need to discuss this further with the Government.” Cheshire Police Authority says its £168m budget – £50m of which is funded by Council Tax – will allow continued investment in neighbourhood policing.

CHRONICLE readers should think twice before giving goods to the socalled clothing collection companies. They are making millions of pounds collecting in every town in the country every two weeks. No one knows who runs the companies, they give no office address and if they give a phone number they never answer. Please give your goods to a registered charity and not this clothing scam.

Brown government remote from reality

WE now have irrefutable proof that this Labour government, under the questionable leadership of Gordon Brown, has totally lost the plot. We hear from Harriet Harman that the Government consider it acceptable, and indeed will make it legal, for companies to discriminate (they call it “positive” discrimination) in favour of women and ethnic minorities. Sorry, but discrimination is discrimination however you try to spin it; if you positively discriminate in favour of one group, as above, you must by definition negatively discriminate against another group – in this same case, white males. Any discrimination has to be wrong, and for the Government to even think it can be acceptable, in whatever circumstances, just illustrates how remote from reality they have now become.

Development is now drug dealers’ haven

THE PIPPINS, Moss Farm, used to be a well-kept development, full of families, business people and retired couples. The properties were well designed and it was a pleasant place to live. At the present time, it is a drug dealers’ paradise and elderly people are a continual target for conmen and conwomen. Because of the ever-increasing number of properties to let, standards have deteriorated. The council have not helped. There is no visible control – windows and doors are changed, extensions built and cars parked everywhere. Landscaped areas are seldom maintained and the entire development has an air of neglect and it is not a good place to bring up a family. The police are well aware of the criminal element but, despite their excellent record controlling drug dealing in Cheshire, little has been done to curb trafficking in The Pippins. They should go the way of forcing landlords to maintain their front gardens. Complaints to letting agents usually gets the reply that the owners are not interested. Why should a tax-paying householder

have to live next door to a dump? Many pensioners, who incidentally struggle to keep their properties in good order, cannot afford to move. They just have to sit tight and watch developments like The Pippins deteriorate around them. NAME AND ADDRESS SUPPLIED

Mayor of nowhere is a waste of £70,000

IT IS with great sadness that we belong to a council that in the last stages of its life is trying to keep something going for a further 12 months or more that is nothing more than a gesture, albeit an expensive one. The ruling group, along with the Lib Dems, have decided to propose to the new Cheshire West and Chester shadow council that they continue to have a mayor from April 2009 when Vale Royal Borough council will no longer be in existence. This will cost the public somewhere in the region of £70,000 for a mayor to represent something that has gone. There are mayors already representing the main towns of Winsford Northwich and Frodsham in the borough who have been around a lot longer than the Vale royal mayor who attend most of the same functions as the borough mayor and the town and parish councils will still be in existence after April 1, 2009. There are far better things to spend £70,000 on than a mayor of nowhere. Just try and tell the people of Winsford for a start that the borough will be spending this amount when they can’t even spend a penny as there are no public toilets in Winsford. Let us not get caught out on April Fools’ Day 2009 by starting off a new era in local government ( whether we like it or not) by making decisions that will incur the wrath of the likes of Mr Mather and his Conservative/Lib Dem colleagues.

Don’t let this artist near any new statue

IT is good news that a statue commemorating Northwich’s salt industry has been pencilled in. A bronze statue of a salt worker, as suggested by Stuart Hogg (Views, June 25) is an excellent idea.

This week on the forums Posted by: Jeffrey Subject: State of Winsford The recent report in the Chronicle is alarming and I share the author’s concerns. A town now larger than Northwich with over 30 000 population has a shopping centre with 18 empty shops. Where are all the shoppers going to anyway? I can remember a vibrant town with no empty shops at all. Well empty shops encourages vandalism too. What is the council doing about this sorry state of affairs? Britain was once heralded as a nation of shopkeepers – not any more. Posted by: Sax Subject: Classless society Everyone wants to go to university, live in a detached house (we are swallowing up vast areas of Green Belt to build more houses whilst knocking old terraces down because no one wants them) and generally live a good life. It doesn’t matter that not everyone is capable of astrophysics or that someone needs to empty the bins, we’re all being told that we deserve better. Personally I feel that this shift in society is linked to the increase in cases of stress and depression.

have a mortgage to pa”, ie, the wider picture is less important than the needs of today. So their hearts and energy are focused on keeping what they have strived to obtain. I can’t remember what the term was that we used in the Army, but it was something about Jack and being all right.

Erect a statue in memory of our salt of the earth heritage COMMENTING on the correspondence of Billy Nomates and Stuart Hogg on the commemoration of the salt industry by the erection of a statue in Northwich, I wish to put forward a case for the erection of a statue in Winsford. 100 years ago there were 22 salt works connected to the railway system in Winsford. A few years earlier W E Gladstone, when Chancellor of the Exchequer, had said that the salt transportation revenues had made the River Weaver a milch cow, enabling the maintaining of roads and bridges, the building of County Hall and Courts at Chester and the building of Knutsford Gaol and Courts. The bulk of the salt produced was in Winsford. Northwich has always had to import brine for its chemical industry. Winsford had five shipyards supporting the salt industry and the largest ship built on the Weaver was at Winsford. It was named The Monarch, so that is why there is a Monarch Way on Kingsmead. All Winsford’s industrial heritage has now gone, including the marine steam engine crankshaft mounted in The Drumber. Erected 30 years ago,

county council for one year and Vale Royal Borough for 12. Do the maths. ■ 2. If the Lostock Triangle site was so important to his Lib Dem councillors why didn’t they get it removed from the Borough Plan as the price of their support for the Conservatives at Vale Royal since 2003? ARTHUR NEIL Deputy leader, Vale Royal Labour Group

Arthur Neil

HERITAGE: Our correspondent feels a statue should be built to commemorate the salt workers who helped to build Northwich. the council quietly removed it about two years ago. Our last link gone, notwithstanding the efforts over the years to save something of our town’s past by various groups and individuals. I have a vested interest in the erection of a statue, both my grandfathers were saltmakers. One lost his eldest son in the Great War, the other served and lost two brothers in the same conflict. Both had early deaths, not surprising with the conditions and

hours put in to earn a decent wage. During the school holidays in the Second World War I used to take my grandfather’s meal to him at work and can vividly remember the terrible conditions endured. If Northwich is granted a statue, why not one to the person who invented polythene or depict an alkali worker in boiler suit and hard hat. Leave the salt maker to Winsford.

Fuel thefts on increase as prices rocket

Mathew passes out

A 20-YEAR-OLD from Northwich has been on parade at HMS Raleigh in Cornwall to celebrate the successful completion of his basic training as he embarks on a career in the Royal Navy. Trainee communication and information systems specialist Mathew Clement joined the Royal Navy in April. Over the past nine weeks, he has been put through an intensive training programme. The course is designed to transform civilians into sailors and includes a range of physical and mental challenges. The former pupil of Rudheath High School said: “I found the training difficult but very rewarding.”

By Simon Drury AS PETROL prices continue to soar, Mid Cheshire police have warned motorists to watch out for fuel thieves. In some cases, they are even setting their sights on homes belonging to people who use oil to fire their central heating systems. Detective Chief Inspector Brian Roberts, crime manager for Cheshire Constabulary’s western area, said: “We are receiving more and more reports of thefts of petrol, diesel and oil. “Typically the liquid is siphoned out but in some cases the culprits have cut fuel pipes to drain the tanks dry. “Businesses have also fallen foul of the thieves, with lorries and heavy plant machinery targeted most often. “Scrapyards have also been singled out due to the large number of vehicles they tend to house.” Most of the thefts occur in rural locations or secluded areas in towns and police are now calling for increased vigilance. Detective Sergeant Dave Snasdell added: “We will be stepping up patrols in those areas considered

Have your say

CHESHIRE West and Chester Shadow Council is inviting residents of the new authority to get involved in a consultation being conducted on area and neighbourhood working. The new council plans to introduce area programme boards to influence and shape policies and action plans for local areas in partnership with stakeholders and communities. The consultation is available on www. cheshirewestand chester.gov.uk and in hard copy in libraries, community centres and cyber cafes from July 9. Cllr John Grimshaw, executive portfolio holder for area and neighbourhood working, said: “This is a real opportunity to shape something new.”

Charity bike ride

STUDENTS at Rudheath High School are preparing to get on their bikes to help Northwich charity The Joshua Tree build a holiday house and support centre for children with a life-threatening illness. The sponsored bike ride has been organised by Year 9 students Adam Latham and Ryan Stewart and takes place after school on Thursday at The Ashton and Neuman’s flashes. Each lap is 1.7 miles long and students will try to do as many laps as possible between 4pm and 6pm.

STEPPING UP PATROLS: Det Sgt Dave Snasdell to be most at risk and are doing all we can to bring offenders to justice. “But these thieves are persistent and we need residents and businesses alike to look at steps that can be taken to keep fuel safe. “Sadly, it would seem rising petrol and diesel prices are here to stay and, as with many other items, the high value makes free fuel an attractive prospect. “But if residents and business follow the security advice and stay vigilant and police continue to target offenders, we can make life more and more difficult for those who seek to benefit from criminal activity.”

ELDERLY residents at independent retirement apartments throughout Vale Royal are being treated to some special canine comforts courtesy of a three-year-old golden retriever called Omar.

Housing estate may be granted its own parish council

Battalion marches in town MORE than 350 soldiers from 1st Battalion the Mercian Regiment (Cheshires) will march through Northwich town centre on Monday to mark the granting of the Freedom of the Borough. The parade will start at 4pm from Leicester Street, continue along Witton Street to the Bull Ring and on to the Memorial Hall, where soldiers will be greeted by the Mayor of Vale Royal, Malcolm Gaskill, civic dignitaries from across Cheshire, local schoolchildren, exservicemen and women of the Royal British Legion and members of the public. “It is going to be a spectacular sight, so I hope the streets will be lined with people ready to give our troops a very warm welcome,” said Cllr Gaskill. The Mercian Regiment is an infantry regiment of the British Army, formed by the amalgamation of three regiments on September 1 2007 as part of the restructuring of the infantry. It consists of three regular battalions, plus a TA battalion, and covers Cheshire, Derbyshire, Notts, Staffs and Worcestershire.

KINGSMEAD may soon have its own parish council. Independence beckons for the estate of nearly 5,000 houses at Northwich. It largely fell within the Davenham boundaries and has been part of the village’s parish council for 10 years, but it is also represented at Northwich Town Council. But now Vale Royal Council is conducting a community governance review to decide the future. Residents throughout Northwich, Kingsmead and Davenham are being asked for their views. So are the councils involved. “We have our own pub, shops, doctor’s, nursery and school. It is evolving into a proper community. Really it is separate from Northwich

and Davenham - Sir John Deane’s College and the bypass make all three look different places. “Anybody from outside the patch would think Kingsmead is a village in its own right, so it makes sense for it to become a parish,” said John Hand, a Kingsmead resident. Town council chief executive Steve Sharman said: “We are discussing the issue at our next meeting. We did so five years ago and at that time we were set against losing any of Kingsmead.” Kingsmead could go it alone or be removed from Davenham and join Northwich. If it becomes wholly under Davenham, Northwich would lose some of its precept and vice versa. The other option is to increase the number of parish councillors.

Help to avoid homelessness

TIME TO GO ALONE? Kingsmead.

SINGLE people facing the prospect of becoming homeless are being offered support. Homeless surgeries will be staged at The Zone at Northwich Railway Station on Wednesdays from 4-6pm, with the first taking place today. Visitors will receive help from agencies such as People First, Turning Point, Citizens Advice

Bureau, Housing Benefits, Vale Royal Women’s Aid and Cheshire County Council. Strategic Housing spokeswoman Cllr Ann McEllin said: “This is a very rare opportunity to speak to people from these agencies all in one go.” For details, call Housing Options on 01606 353520 or e-mail housingoptions@ valeroyal.gov.uk.

Drivers’ carnival warning POLICE in Northwich are asking residents to consider their travel plans for July 5. The Northwich Carnival is set to wind its way through the streets of the town and, while officers will work to keep disruption to a minimum, this will have an effect on the flow of traffic in the area. Sergeant Tony Jones, of Northwich Neighbourhood Policing Unit, said: “The procession starts at Denton Drive at about 1pm and is set to finish at Verdin Park at 2pm. “There will be disruption to other road users as closures will be in place around the town to ensure the carnival can pass through safely. “This disruption is regrettable, but safety has to be our primary concern and I would ask all other road users to be patient and considerate during this period.” He added: “We anticipate that people wanting to drive through Northwich between midday and mid-afternoon will experience delays and I would advise all motorists to seek an alternative route.”

First leader fought against new authority’s creation

Caden enjoys the ride on his vintage day out ALL ABOARD: Budding vintage fan Caden Bott, three, from Winsford enjoys a ride at the Kelsall Steam and Vintage Rally. The event featured a huge display of steam engines, classic cars, vintage motor cycles, vintage tractors, stationary engines, and commercial vehicles. There were also special exhibits and a display of shire horses.

THE Tory leader of the new Cheshire West & Chester Council actually fought against the creation of his own authority. The Conservatives were against Hazel Blears’ decision to reorganise the existing Chester City and Cheshire County councils. But Cllr Mike Jones says the electorate has voted for his party to make the system work and that’s what they will do. The council will perform all local government functions from headquarters at County Hall. It takes over proper from April 1 next year along with its counterpart in Cheshire East. The change will see the abolition of Vale Royal Council and district councils at Chester and Ellesmere Port. The aim of the reorganisation is to simplify the structure and cut out duplication of effort to lighten the burden on council taxpayers, resulting in the loss of more than 500 positions in West Cheshire. But Cllr Jones said existing councils were preparing for the

Predator blamed as stilts move on THE rare black-winged stilt family which made Northwich famous in the bird world have left. Over the last few weeks thousands of visitors to Neumann’s Flash have watched the black-winged stilt adults and their chick at an RSPB Aren’t birds brilliant (Abb!) public viewing scheme. Matthew Capper, RSPB Northern England said: It’s a great shame that the stilts have disappeared. Without any witnesses, it’s hard to know exactly what happened but we suspect that the chick has been predated and as a result the adults have moved on.” The stilts nest commonly on mainland Europe but are rare visitors to Britain and have only bred successfully on four occasions. As ground nesting birds, they are particularly vulnerable to natural predators. Matthew added: “We were all hoping for a much happier ending and it’s particularly disappointing for all the people who have worked hard to help protect the nest and show visitors the birds. “The support of Cheshire County Council has been superb and I know the rangers are particularly sad to hear the news.” Countryside ranger Stephanie Hefferan said: “It’s a great shame because the chick was near to leaving the nest. Let’s hope that there’s more success if the birds return next year.”

PARENTS and grandparents were among those who contributed to a golden skills day at Whitegate Primary School on Tuesday. The aim was to teach pupils a range of talents using the time of family members who were more than happy to help. Skills on offer ranged from Indian cooking and line dancing to circus skills and knitting.

Headteacher Ian Percival said the event had been a huge success and the children loved it. He said: “We wanted to teach the children new skills and we certainly achieved that. “Each child had a choice of four different activities and they could be anything from painting murals to football with one of the dads who used to play professionally.”

Youth speaks its mind ROTARY YOUTH SPEAKS CONTEST ARTISTIC EXPLORATION: Greenbank Residential School pupils enjoy the pond dipping.

PUPILS from several schools demonstrated knowledge of a wide range of subjects when they took part in the Northwich heats of Rotary’s Youth Speaks contest.

ANIMAL LOVERS: Antrobus St Mark’s Alpha Team Alpha, Richard Bolshaw, Michael James and Emma Price, gave a talk on endangered species.

Children dip into nature GREENBANK RESIDENTIAL PUPILS of Greenbank Residential School had a chance to look at what lurks beneath on a pond dipping trip to Marshall’s Arm Nature Reserve organised by the borough council and officials at the reserve. Information gleaned on the trip was later used in an art session with artist Ann Bridges to produce vibrant prints for an exhibition to mark the reserve’s 10th anniversary. Earlier in the year Ann worked with children at Hartford Manor Primary School on a series of winter-themed prints. Claire Connell, art co-ordinator at Greenbank, said: “This was a great opportunity for the children to get expert tuition about all the things living in the pond. “Having the pond so close to school is fantastic and the combination of a lovely day and interesting finds inspired the children in their art.”

CARING: Joe Foulkes, Jack Bowden and Phoebe Watson from Wincham Community Primary School gave a talk on bullying.

WINNERS: The Grange School team, left to right, Katherine Owen, Adam Cunningham, James Clarke.

A LIST: Team A from Antrobus St Mark’s, Benedict Tratolos, Martin Burrows and Alexandra Farrel compared childhoods in Tibet and Britain.

Subjects ranged from a talk on bullying delivered by a team from Wincham Primary School to a thoughtful exploration of a Tibetan versus British childhood from Antrobus Primary School and the problems of waste according to a team from The Grange School, Hartford. The Grange won but the others were so good they were also chosen to go through to the next stage of the contest.

Lions contest won by giraffe GEORGE the Giraffe, made by children from Winnington Park Community Primary School, won a competition organised by Vale Royal Lions. All the entries had to be made from recyclable

WINNINGTON PK COMMUNITY SCH materials and were put on display at the Cheshire Show where judge John Gittins picked out the winner.

WINNER: Vale Royal Lions president Rob Brown is seen admiring the entries with club member Avis Maddison, who devised and initiated the event.

OBITUARY

Chronicle July 2, 2008 MR GEORGE BULA

THE funeral has taken place of George (Jerzy Andrzej) Bula, 81, of Cuddington.

George was born in Myslowice, Poland in 1927, where he lived until he was 14 years old. In 1941 following a visit to the cinema he, along with other young people, were picked up and without his mother’s knowledge, sent to work on a farm in Germany. During the next few years he escaped to France, joining the Foreign Legion and eventually the Polish Army in Italy. From Ostuni in Italy where he was based he came to England in 1946. He was not re-united with his mother until 1955. He met his wife, Nancy and they lived at Delamere moving to Cuddington in 1953 where he lived until his death. George worked for British Rail for several years and then Viennese Travel, eventually owning his own travel agency, Travel Express in Manchester. Travel was his great joy and in the 1950’s and 1960’s he travelled widely by train with Nancy and their two children, Andrew and Sherril. He visited some part of Europe almost every year of his life. George’s family was his life and he was devastated by the death of his son, Andrew in 2000. His care and devotion to his wife, Nancy, who survives him, during her ongoing illness was given willingly and never wavered. He was a wonderful father and friend to Sherril, dear father-in-law to Alan and Doris and very proud grandfather to Neil, Sally, John and Debbie. His Polish origin was very important to him and for many years he enjoyed a weekly game of poker with his friends at the Polish Club. He was a lovely and very popular man who had a great sense of humour which he maintained right up until his sudden death. Requiem Mass was celebrated at Our Lady of Czestochowa RC Polish Church, Northwich, with interment at Gorstage Cemetery, conducted by the Rev Father Edward Soska.

MR CHARLES RIMMER

THE funeral has taken place of Charles Rimmer who died on June 11 aged, 88.

Charlie began life in Byley and grew up in the surrounding countryside. He often spoke of the happy times he spent tramping across fields and riding his bike round the country lanes. This closeness with nature remained with him for the rest of his life. He was a member of the RSPB and would often travel to nature reserves to watch the various birds, which he easily recognised by their calls. He was most at home in the countryside and with the local Probus Club regularly went on walks, some of which he helped organise. He used his holidays in the UK to find new places to visit and new walks. His favourite destination was Scotland where he even bought an area of forest! Well into his 80s he could out walk the rest of the family. Ten to twelve miles was nothing to him but it probably helped that there was a pub at the end of the road. It was at Wallerscote that he met his future wife, Jean. They were happily married for many years and shared a love of nature and travel. After Jean’s death 11 years ago he retained his independence, cooking for himself, gardening and growing his own vegetables. Excess production was always welcomed by family and friends. During his lifetime Charlie saw his two daughters, Elaine and Susan married. He had three grandchildren, Mandy, Paul and Debbie and in 2006 became a great granddad to Matthew. This seemed to give him a new lease of life and not a week would go by without him playing with the new addition to the family. During the war Charlie served in the RAF as a navigator, mostly on board Lancaster bombers. He retained contact with his RAF friends and even visited one of them in Canada. After the war

For donations in memoriam to:

Charlie was employed by ICI in their instrument department, initially at Wallerscote and later at Lostock. He finally retired in 1978. Earlier this year he joked that he had been retired for 30 years – longer than he had worked for ICI. He wondered if he would be presented with a gold watch for his long service as a pensioner. Charlie loved sport. He supported Man Utd though it had been many years since he last attended a game at Old Trafford. However, the family did take him to visit the Theatre of Dreams as an 80th birthday present. He regularly watched or listened to all football, cricket and snooker. But his greatest sporting love was bowls. He was a member of Cuddington Bowling Club for more than 40 years, organising some competitions, playing in others and even winning trophies. He was a valued member of their team. Charlie had many interests in his life – nature, sport, reading, crosswords but most of all his family. Charlie was genuinely interested in people and was willing to help anyone in times of need. He could always be relied upon to offer good sound advice. He had a rare sense of humour which he retained to the end – always ready with a joke or a quick-witted play on words, he had the ability to find humour in any situation. He kept good health most of the time and, whilst his sudden death was a shock to everyone, he will be remembered as a loving family man, a loyal friend and a valued member of the community. May his memory live on. Charlie is survived by his daughters, Elaine and Susan, grandchildren, Mandy, Paul and Debbie and his great grandson, Matthew.

Block that broke rules must be demolished ANACONDA Investments have been told to knock down a housing block in Weaverham that does not comply with their planning permission. A planning inspectorate hearing decided an enforcement notice be upheld against Anaconda for two dwellings at the junction of Northwich Road and Wallerscote Road. The requirements are: Demolish Block A (two

dwellings) in its entirety. Restore the land to its condition before the breach took place. The period for compliance is one calendar month. Speaking on behalf of Vale Royal Borough Council, lead councillor for community safeguards John Turnbull said: “Strict guidelines are set down when planning permission is granted –

and they are there for a reason. “Let this be a warning to anyone who is considering not complying with their planning permission – and if anyone is in doubt of what they can and can’t do once they have permission, I would urge them to contact the Council to make absolutely sure they are not in breach of the regulations.”

Thousands enjoy Hall garden extravaganza THOUSANDS of people made a bee line for Arley Hall and the Gardens at the weekend to bag a few bargains and generally soak up the heady delights of the annual garden festival. A festival spokesman said the event had been a fantastic success with numbers up on previous years, a just reward for all those months of careful planning. Star of the show was television flying gardener presenter Chris Beardshaw who charmed young and old alike with his expert and often witty advice.

YELLOW DAY: Some of those who took part in the fundraising.

80 firefighters at training day ONE of Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service’s largest training exercises in more than a decade saw 80 firefighters from all over the county. Sixteen fire engines arrived at SAICA Packaging UK on Winsford Industrial Estate on Sunday to a mock accident involving an overturned articulated tanker containing hydrochloric acid, which had crashed into the side of a building, causing a fire. A 999 call to control operators alerted crews from Winsford, Northwich, Middlewich, Holmes Chapel, Crewe, Macclesfield, Malpas, Warrington, Knutsford and Poynton, who attended the incident on Road Three. Crews were tested on aspects of firefighting and rescue operations during the event, which was treated as a real incident involving actors as

casualties who suffered from a range of injuries. Station Manager Neil Winstanley said: “It’s very important that firefighters are prepared for every eventuality, so this exercise allowed staff to polish their operational procedures. “Without the help of Jim Sneddon, who is the environmental health and safety manager for SAICA Packaging, this operation would not have been the success it was, so I would like to thank him for his assistance. “Staff spent months planning the operation along with Jim to ensure that the training scenario was executed without any problems. “Also, the co-operation on the local businesses was exceptional in allowing such a large-scale exercise to take place on their site.”

Publicity officer Diana Lane added: “Our Little Moreton Hall plays have a loyal and growing audience, with productions sometimes selling out before opening night.

By Jane Matzen DELICIOUS Noel Coward comedy Hay Fever provides a fizzing summer cocktail of fun at the Royal Exchange, Manchester, for the next few weeks. Belinda Lang and Ben Keaton star alongside a great ensemble cast to recreate the home of the eccentric Bliss family on a weekend in the country. Confusion reigns when each member of the family invites a guest to flirt with and to impress – without telling the others. Written in just three days – after being inspired by a weekend he spent at the house of the actor Laurette Taylor – the play’s 1925 London debut came hot on the heels of Coward’s previous hit The Vortex. The role of retired actress Judith Blisse is played by Belinda Lang of television sitcom 2.4 Children while Royal Exchange favourite Ben Keaton plays her novelist husband David Bliss. The cast also includes Lysette Anthony who appeared in Woody Allen’s Husbands and Wives. Hay Fever opened on Tuesday and runs until Saturday, August 9. Tickets range in price from £8.50 to £28 and on Happy Mondays are just £4 for anyone aged 25 and under. ■ Call the box Office on 0161 833 9833 or book online: www.royalexchange.co.uk/bookonline www.royalexchange.co.uk.

Lucie captures the sound of silence By Jane Matzen LUCIE Potter is an artist with an ear to the ground ... and the sky, and the trees, and the air. The latest artist in residence at Tatton Park, Lucie Potter has been capturing the sounds of Tatton for a special artwork. Over the last few months Lucie has been recording the day and night-time sounds of the parkland, for the creation of a distinctive Sound Walk which is now available to visitors. She said: “Sound is a sensual medium, which can evoke other times and places for us. Hearing is subtle, yet can also have a profound effect on the listener”. Using high-tech recording equipment and sensitive microphones, her work sets out to 'reveal a world just out of our perception'. One of the most thrilling moments is the eerie sound of sparring stags recorded on a cold night in February. The Sound Walk also features a scripted voiceover and interviews with Tatton staff and volunteers. Lucie added: “There is something about walking and listening, especially in such a beautiful place as Tatton Park, which is quite special. I have planned a few sound effect surprises along the way for people too!”

VW turns green blue x vseh iwx

by Ian Johnson YOU certainly cannot say that the Volkswagen Passat BlueMotion is not a car for its time.

The reason being that when driving this relatively large car your eye is inevitably drawn to the fact that the average fuel consumption readout on the cars computer is always reaching for the upper 50s. in miles per gallon. Indeed. on one long run, it was reaching for 66mpg when I put one of these new generation cars through its paces. Good news indeed for the driver looking worryingly at the soaring prices of diesel at filling stations. BlueMotion came about before the recent fuel crisis and now this individual approach to economy looks set to pay great dividends for this manufacturer. BlueMotion is a term used by Volkswagen to describe the most fuel and CO2-efficient model in a particular range. Within the Passat line-up the award-winning 1.9-litre TDI 105 PS, an engine renowned for it efficiency through the use of Pumpe Düse technology, is the chosen power unit. In BlueMotion world this engine features as standard an oxidation catalyst

FUEL SAVER: Pexiwx xiglrspsk} oiitw xli Zspow{ekir Tewwex FpyiQsxmsr ex xli jsvijvsrx sj igsrsq} hvmzmrk2 and a diesel particulate filter which reduce oxides of nitrogen and carbon particles almost to zero. One of the most significant aspects of this engine is its flexibility. A variable geometry turbocharger is also added to provide high levels of torque at just above idling speed and this certainly works because you can cruise away in a higher gear. Trying it with more conventional technology would certainly result in a bad-tempered juddering tantrum from the engine. I tested this system in varied driving conditions and it does work. The concept is aided by a much modified

five-speed gearbox – not six-speed as you might expect. Volkswagen has lengthened the third, fourth and fifth ratios to decrease engine speed in the name of economy. The Passat BlueMotion made its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show last year and is now in the UK. Interestingly. the economy engineering has endowed it with a slightly higher top speed than the standard car – 119mph versus 117 mph. This is due in some part to the 12 percent reduction in drag resulting from modified cooing intakes, more efficient underbody airflow, lowered suspension and low rolling-resistance tyres. Specification is high with semi-auto-

Madness of car-cramming

matic air-conditioning, twin-front, side and curtain airbags and an electronic handbrake all fitted as standard. If I have a crib with this car, it is the electronic handbrake, operated from a button on the dash. Not the easiest thing to use for hill starts, but there was an electric hill-hold feature which helped. But even so, a mechanical handbrake is much more simple. This year, Volkswagen UK expects to sell around 1,190 Passat BlueMotion saloons and 510 estates.Passat is a large car and its economy credentials are great, but the price of £17,720 certainly distances it from the ranks of affordable cars. But for anyone looking for a large comfortable car which hates fuel pumps Passat BlueMotion delivers the goods. FAST FACTS n Volkswagen Passat BlueMotion 1.9-litre n Price: £17,270 n Mechanical: 1.9 1869cc four-cylinder diesel driving front wheels via five speed gearbox n Max power: 105PS n Max speed:120mph n 0-62mph: 12.1 seconds n Combined economy: 55.4mpg n CO2 emissions: 136g/km n Insurance Group: 7 n Warranty: Three years/60,000, Three years paintwork, 12 years body protection, one year Volkswagen Assistance.

IT’S summer, and people are doing daft things, especially on the road.

Take the man who crammed 13 people into a Volvo for instance. This really does take the biscuit for stupidity.He shoehorned this small crowd into a car which can legally only carry five. The incident occurred in North Wales and instantly attracted the attention of a policemen. A dangerous driving conviction which followed carried a 12 month driving ban plus £900 in fines and costs. The only good thing about it was that the man was not speeding. But it seems cramming cars is not just restricted to the wrong side of the law, At the 10th anniversary bash for the diminutive smart car a team of contortionists managed to pack 13 into one of these distinctive cars. Hilarious but don’t try it at home. I rather hope all of this is not catching because I regularly see all sorts of vehicles obviously overloaded. One car in particular seemed to have at least four heavy people sharing a rear seat and the back wheels were splayed out such was the weight. To me this is one of the most dangerous things you can do. The fact that some passengers will not be strapped in is bad enough but failing the realise the potentially fatal consequences of an unrestrained body hurtling forward in the event of an impact is just criminal Ian Johnson

Mixed luck but Helena is a winner Table tennis

HARTFORD-based Helena Dennett won one title and missed out on three more, at the Cheshire Close Table Tennis Championships, at the Halton Stadium, Widnes. Dennett’s success came in the Over 40s singles when she beat Wirral’s Ann Dakin (10, 9, -10, 11). But she was a beaten finalist in the Singles, Restricted Singles and, with Karen Tonge of Halton, in the Doubles, twice losing to Annabelle Sorrentino (Wirral) and to Annebelle partnerd by her sister Susi. Mid Cheshire League’s James Eaton was beaten in the Grade A Singles final by John Goodall, of the Wirral League (5, 10, -9, 8). Exciting Mid Cheshire prospect Joshua Boulton won the Boys’ Singles, Cadet Singles and, with Rachel Baker, the Mixed Doubles at the Junior Championship. Corrina Bebbington (Mid Cheshire) was beaten 6, 8 and 7 by Rachel Baker in her Singles final. Joshua also reached the Restricted Singles final, losing to Matthew McCormick (Halton), but won the senior Grade B trophy by beating Thomasz Hullisha (Ellesmere Port) -4, 3, 10 and 10.

TITLE WIN: Helena Dennett

WHAT are reckoned to be the finest professionally tuned road cars in the UK will be battling against the clock at Oulton Park on Saturday. The Time Attack series is in its third season but this is its first visit to the Little Budworth track. Time Attack challenges competitors to drive hard against the clock in order to set the quickest lap time in finely tuned road cars. Each vehicle uses normal road tyres, giving teams the opportunity to test how today’s most powerful roadgoing cars perform when pushed to the limit under controlled conditions. Cheshire team RC Developments are 12 points behind the lead position. Driver Jamie Stanley said: “We’re hoping for a turnaround at Oulton Park as we’ve had some bad luck with freak mechanical problems, like a stone going through our radiator at Silverstone.“ “Racing at my home circuit is going to mega as Oulton is a quick track. “All the vehicles are highly tuned so you have to be pin-point accurate to get the best time. “The cars are powerful – the top five or six vehicles in the pro class are quicker than a British Touring Car.” Tickets for the event cost from £15 for adults, with free entry for children aged 12 and under. More information is available at www.oultonpark.co.uk or by calling 0870 950 9000.

Their all-round play pleased their leader: the fielding was excellent, they had batsmen on form – Mike Sambell 70, Phil Wingfield 56, Paul Coot 30 – and match-winning bowlers in Neil Langham (3-38) and Coot (4-24), who took over when Peover were 84-2 and needing 86 to win with 23 overs left. “We battled well and played some excellent cricket,” added Yarwood.

OULTON PARK’S three-year, 61match, unbeaten run came to an end at Chester Boughton Hall on Saturday. Champions for the past three seasons, Oulton now find themselves in an unfamiliar sixth place, 43 points off the title pace being set by Alderley Edge. Oulton looked likely winners before losing a fluctuating game. Oakmere made further progress towards promotion to the County League and Northwich and Weaverham remain leading contenders to reach the Cheshire League First Division, Weaverham with the help of Mattie Bebbington, the third player to join them from Barnton since the winter. RIGHT MOVE ABROAD COUNTY LEAGUE ECB Premiership

Barrow 122-7 Winsford 120-8dec

WINSFORD made high flying Barrow fight hard. Martin Barrett, Andy Cooper, Keiron Berrington and Mike Clarke (20) were the victims in Winsford’s 49-4 start. The situation was improved by Mark Dean (29) before the innings petered away. The bowlers took wickets but could not force the issue. Andy Beswick (3-39) and James Tierney (2-29) were most successful with the ball.

Chester CO 115-8 Northwich 149ao

Chester Boughton Hall 145ao Oulton Park 137ao

OULTON suffered a dramatic defeat, their first in the ECB Premiership since 2005. Nathan Dumelow (4-26) and Craig Williamson (3-27) restricted Chester to a modest total. But Park’s top order, with the exception of Ben Spendlove (54), failed and at 88-7 they looked losers. But tail-ender Chris Jones provided a twist, scoring a defiant 33 and taking Oulton to the verge of victory, but Trinidadian paceman Darren Cruikshank returned at 130-7 and dismissed the last three batsmen for seven runs. Chester are due to host Oulton Park again shortly in the quarter-finals of the Fred Graham Twenty 20 Trophy – having knocked them out in the semi-final last season. Oulton 2nds, fighting relegation from Division One, were beaten at home by Cheadle Hulme. Roger Thompson (79) controlled the home innings and was supported by Mark Thompson (37), Matt Freedman (32) and Jimmy Guest (21) as Oulton reach 219-8. Their visitors scraped home for the loss of seven wickets after Ben Kettle had taken 2-45 and Andy Mills 3-47. Division One

Winnington Park 153ao Stockport Georgians 154ao

EXCELLENT fielding – two catches apiece for Phil Amietello and Mike Caldecott – and the bowling of especially Jamie Cowell (3-32) made sure Georgians never recovered from a 44-4 start. But Winnington batsmen could not maintain the standard. They slumped to 33-5 before being resuscitated by Tom Pilling. They needed 41 from the last wick-

et partnership and Pilling found assistance from Cowell, so that 19 were required off the last three overs. All four outcomes were possible. A Pilling four put Winnington needing two more for victory with two balls remaining. But Pilling (56) was given out lbw off the final delivery. Only Ben Challoner (30) and Ian Johns (22) reached double figures as Park 2nds, 97ao, went down at Stockport 100-3. MELLER BRAGGINS CHESHIRE LEAGUE Division One

Ashley 118-9dec Oakmere 122-4

DOMINANT Oakmere finished the first half of the season in promotion form. Only another 11 matches to go... Stewart Eaton (5-43 off 22 overs) and Nick Ball (2-28) made steady progress and Craig Phelan (2-28) picked up late wickets. An opening stand of 54 between Paul Yearsley (33) and Paul Hutchinson (21) put Oakmere on their way with Ian Eaton (30) and Stewart Eaton (26) ensuring an early finish with some lusty blows. Oakmere 2nds were frustrated by Ashley’s ninth-wicket pair at Overdale Lane. Dan Wood hit 54 and Peter Jones 39 and at one time Oakmere looked set for a big total. Their 163-7 would have been enough, but Ashley held out at 95-8 (Eddie Gibson 4-20).

Brooklands 190-9 Davenham 106-9

DISAPPOINTING Davenham at least avoided defeat. Mike Kouris (5-49 off 10 overs) and Dean Jackson (1-24 off 12) were the pick of the Davenham bowlers. Two early run outs (Steve McNicholl and Mark Greaves) followed by Dave Ashley being caught put Davenham on the back foot, but safety was just reached through Dave Holden (25) and James Loveridge (35). Division Two

Wilmslow 117 Weaverham 118-9

WEAVERHAM had to fight to keep their promotion challenge on track. Allen Bell posted his best figures of the campaign, 5-38, Rob McMillan and Mattie Bebbington both returned 2-20. Steve Robertson (24) and Gregg Ayrns (25) helped Weaverham towards their target but a collapse to 81-7 set nerves jangling, but Paul Lightfoot and Gordon Allen steered them home. Weaverham 2nds lost at Lindow, who did well to reach 181ao against the on-form Kevin Douglas (5-50), Neil Gerrard (2-30) and Jon Turley (2-10). Darren Falland (33), Dave Armstrong (30) and Alex Stitch (22) made up most of Weaverham’s 169ao

SKIPPER Steve Yarwood described Barnton’s win as “satisfying”.

Best foot forward to win match

Hartford 138-2 Appleton 137ao

HARTFORD bounced back from defeat to record a comfortable win. Though missing a few players, they were happy to bowl first on a slightly damp pitch. Appleton were soon 73-1 before almost as quickly losing wickets to Josh Spruce (5-51) and Jake Farrow (3-29). James Hodgkinson took advantage of being promoted to opener, playing shots all round the park and sharing a 101 second-wicket partnership with Gaz Stokes (27) before passing the victory target. Hodgkinson, 16, finished on 92 not out.

Record breakers

ANGLING: Two Barnton-Frodsham AC records were broken on Wednesday. In the afternoon, Ted Isherwood set a new veterans’ match best of 19-12-0 at Heesom’s Pool. Pole-caught skimmers, crucians and tench on pellet and corn did the trick. Later, Ian Morrison smashed the Wednesday evening match and venue record on the River Weaver at Anderton. He used a tip rod with worm and maggot on the hook to land 22 bream to put 61-1-0 on the scales. This beat the 54lb mark set by Wayne Percival three years ago. A distant second was Tim Wright, peg 40, with 14-3-0 of bream.

Recruits sign on

SAILING: Budworth Sailing Club played hosts to between 40 and 50 would-be sailors on Saturday. Wind made conditions tricky, especially for newcomers, but several signed up despite some capsizing. Further details about the club, including membership, can be found at www.budworthsc.org.uk website.

NORTHWICH were again frustrated by their inability to remove a side who showed no ambition. The Northwich innings was built around Matthew Jamieson, who scored 66 as wickets tumbled about him. After losing the first wicket to the hands of 15-year-old debutant Danny East off Mike Brandon (2-31), CCO dug in for the draw, losing two more men to each of spinners Stuart Hayes and Lee Evans. Northwich 2nds 180-6 were comfortable against Cholmondeley, 115ao. Simon James (45), Peter Gibbon, Matt Lightburn (both 28no), John Price (25) and Craig Douglas (24) were the run-getters; Mike Whitehead (3-17), Gibbon (2-15) and Mark O’Neil (3-9) the wicket takers. Skipper Dave Murphy led the 3rds to victory, taking 5-17. Miles Watson chipped in 2-22 and Trinity were all out for 62. Stuart Plant top scored with 28 in Northwich’s 63-3. Northwich 4ths 176ao (Craig Douglas 40, Danny East 36, Steve Riley 36, Stuart Plant 34) beat Mobberley 3rds 36ao (Plant 4-1, Miles Watson 3-12, Douglas 2-16).

CYCLING: Alan Kemp rode to victory number 10 – and then was denied another win at the death. He led the hilly Bridgnorth race from the start on Sunday and with just a 50yard uphill finish facing him his foot came out of the pedal. He did well to keep the bike upright but rival Joe Williams (Port Sunlight) spotted his chance and stole the victory. Kemp made do with second place and team-mate Nick Butterworth was fifth. On Wednesday, Kemp won a Warrington RC 90-competitor race at Antrobus. Butterworth was in eighth, Chas Readman, Craig Lee and Andy Poole finishing in the top half. Dave Astles and Poole contested the 55-mile Macclesfield Wheelers event at Siddington on Sunday. Both were in what was left of the main bunch after a deluge of rain on the last lap.

BLACKS KICK OFF NEW ERA NORTHWICH Rugby Club have appointed a new coach with their second promotion in three years the target.

Chairman Sam Naylor said: “We also have a new signing and a new captain – we hope they will usher in a new era for Northwich.” The new coach is Kevin Greaves, a 47-year-old Stretton-based policeman, who has coached at Warrington, Liverpool St Helens and West Park. He was recommended by ex-Northwich coach Chris Chudleigh and replaces Paul Reid, who was sacked soccer-style at the end of a traumatic season in which

By John Buckley the Blacks managed to avoid relegation from North Two West only on the final day. Greaves is a former utility back and was selected after interviews and a trial training session last week. New Northwich skipper Rick Smith said: “I and the rest of the squad were impressed with Kevin’s session and he appears to be more of a players’ man than Paul Reid. “The playing committee have got a good squad together and we want to hit the ground running come September.”

Greaves, a married man with two children, took charge of the squad officially last night (Tuesday). The squad included several newcomers, the most notable being Matt Bebbington, a regular in the Chester side that won North Two West last season. He is a 26-year-old PE teacher and plays scrum half or fly half. Northwich have also retained Aussie Stacey Hosking, currently playing summer RL for Northwich Stags, for a second season and he will be joined by at least two additional overseas players whose signings are in the process of being finalised.

NEW BOY: Matt Bebbington.

Grange keep it in the family for Henley test FOR the first time an all Grange School crew have qualified for for Henley Regatta – and three out of the four are brothers. Twins John and Edward Ford, both 18 and 15-year-old brother Tom were joined in a quad by Rupert Wiltshire, also 15, and won through their qualifying heats on Friday for the Fawley Challenge. Of 51 boats in for the Fawley, 16 were pre-selected and the other 35 chased eight remaining places based on fastest times over the famous Thames course. The boys have been coached by Paul Rafferty, who nurtured Olympic oarsman Matthew Langridge to prominence at

Grange coach Graham Jump said: “It is the first time we have got an all-Grange crew to Henley. The idea was to give Tom and Rupert the experience before John and Ed move on. “But they sculled superbly against some good crews.” The Ford brothers live at Holmes Chapel and are the sons of John Ford, owner of car dealers Ford’s of Winsford.

Fishery can catch anglers when they’re young

THE Dane Valley Fishery at Rudheath was opened on Monday, but that’s not the half of it. The Fishery has two pools and a third one, bigger than the others put together, will be open next spring. That will then conclude a project that has been, so far, eight years in the making. Northwich Anglers Association paid £100,000 for the 10-acre site and then shelved the project. It was revived four years ago, the pools were stocked in the autumn and they opened to anglers four weeks ago when Eddisbury MP

Angling Stephen O’Brien performed the official opening. By the time the scheme is complete Northwich AA will have spent about £140,000 on the site off Shipbrook Road, which also borders the River Dane. Grant aid has been given by the Environment Agency. The fishery was completed as a community project, but will enable Northwich to compete with private fisheries whose rise in popularity has decimated attendances at matches throughout Mid Cheshire, especially on the River Weaver.

Dane Valley also means they can now coach children in a purpose built facility. Secretary Roy Garton said: “We have spent £12,000 on fish and it is fishing its head off. The fish, lakes and site need to mature, but it is producing 20 to 30 fish per session and that is brilliant for kids to keep them enthusiastic and it will be for matches, too.” The pools have been named after stalwart servants, chairman Russ Moores, committeeman for more than 50 years Ron Lambert and late president Fred Egerton, whose name will be attached to the 10,000 sq m 60-peg water being built.

NORTHWICH Vics, Witton Albion and Winsford United resume training this week – and all expect there will be more new signings before the season starts. Trialists will be a feature of the summer sessions as the three managers allow themselves leeway on their budgets to augment their squads. So far Vics have signed Mike Jones (Wrexham), Matt Bailey (Crewe), Richie Sutton, Chris Flynn (both Stafford) and Paul Barratt (Southport) with Mark Roberts’ move from Accrington being made permanent. Jones is a goalkeeper set to challenge Scott Tynan, who has apologised to the club for using his page on the Facebook website to say he was dissatisfied with his wages at Vics. Tynan signed a new contract only last season. Scott Willis, Stuart Settle (both Leigh RMI), goalkeeper Greg Smith (Hucknall) and Paul Donnell (Nantwich) are Witton’s new signings, while Sean Holmes, Mike McGarra (both Cammell Laird), Anthony Mark (Flixton), amateur Sean Moran and Tom Swann (Barnton) are the additions at Winsford. Vics’ owner Jim Rushe attended last week’s Supporters’ Trust annual meeting and explained the consortium led by Nick Bone was still negotiating with owner Mike Connett to buy the stadium and land at the Marston Arena. ■ The Mid Cheshire Sunday League will kick off with only 30 teams next season. Numbers have been steadily reducing over the last 10 years and in September nine teams will start in the Premier Division, 10 in the First – both relegating only one side for the first time – and 12 in the Second, the annual meeting agreed on Sunday. New clubs are Fern Villa, based at Knight’s Grange and Three Greyhounds (Sutton Lane, Middlewich), while Blue Barrel and Garage (ex-JW’s) were re-elected. Beech Tree have changed their name to Owl Athletic, White Lion to Salty. Presentations at the meeting were to: Goostrey, fair play award; Rifleman, linesman award; Lee Mitchell, of WCC Wanderers, secretary of the year; league secretary Vic Knop for 30 years’ service and Susan Baker, 10 years’ service.
