Forest fun
Parkgate Primary School
recently took their Year 3 pupils
on a two night residential to
Foxhowl in Delamere.
Sarah Hughes said: “We had
great fun on the Habitat walk,
where we were allowed to cross
lots of rivers and the mud was
called ‘the welly eater’.”
They also made Dens and took
part in Problem solving activities
to develop team work.
Amy Bailey said, “We built dens
in the forest, our den was big
enough to fit the whole class in.”
They ended the 3 days with
orienteering in the forest. A great
time was had by both staff and
pupils.
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few - Winston Churchill

including a light switch on. There’s also
the prospect of the new Sainsbury’s
opening in early December.

Marc launches
blindin’ new ranges
The owner of Apollo Blinds Wirral firm is gearing up for
a surge in enquiries and sales after launching two new
‘breathtaking’ ranges.
Marc McQuilliam travelled to Yorkshire to be one of
the first Apollo Blinds franchise owners in the UK
to pick up the company’s new vertical and roller
blinds collection books which are crammed full of
gorgeous new window blinds products.
He has already started showcasing the new
collections to customers and believes they
will be a big hit with homeowners who want
stunning and inspiring blinds which will make
their homes beautiful.
“I couldn’t wait so I went to Yorkshire to
pick up the new collections and it was worth
it because they are breathtaking and I know
my customers are going to love them,” he
said.
“Our business is all about inspiring
customers and showing them the art of the
possible and our new collections are right
at the cutting edge of home décor trends so
everyone in the Wirral and surrounding areas
can have blinds which are popular in all the
house and garden magazines right now.
“These collections are vital to the prosperity of
our business because they help us to stand out
from our competitors and reaffirm our position
as the area’s leading supplier of stunning ranges of
window blinds.”
Marc’s collections contain more than 350 different
fabrics in the roller blinds book and nearly 300 in the
verticals collections. And, nearly 200 of the roller blind fabrics
are also available as vertical blinds which means homeowners have
never had so many options to carry themes throughout their homes.
“Our new collections are absolutely fantastic and I’m very proud to be able to show such groundbreaking
collections to my customers,” said Marc.
“But arguably the most important thing is our company’s commitment to child safety and, as with the
previous collections, all our blinds come with free safety products to ensure no child can be harmed by the
cords of our products.”
For more information about the new collections and how Apollo Blinds can make homes in the Wirral
Area beautiful either call 0151 203 6160 or visit www.apollo-blinds.co.uk/wirral.
