In the news
College closure is announced
BURTON Manor College is to close this spring.
The adult education college has fallen
victim to budget cutbacks at Liverpool City
Council.
Press reports suggest that the college is
£1.6m in debt and that last year the city
council pumped in £284,000 to subsidise the
venue which offers all manner of day and
residential courses.
Ironically, Burton doesn’t even lie within the
boundaries of Liverpool City Council. Once
the harsh government settlement came in, it
became inevitable that Burton Manor would
come under the spotlight.
Council officials are now considering what to do with the grade II listed building which
was originally the home of Henry Neville Gladstone, the third son of former British
Prime Minister William Gladstone.
The college will finally close its doors on 31st March, although it has promised to fulfil
courses up to that date.

The easy way to borrow affordably

West Cheshire Credit Union
has been running its services in
Neston and surrounding areas
since 2003 having previously
been known as ellesmere Port
and Neston Credit Union.
Credit Unions are financial
co-operatives designed to
encourage anyone to save and to
borrow affordably.
Many of the 2000+ savers
across the district did not
previously have savings
anywhere else but have found
saving with West Cheshire
Credit Union easier than with
a bank. West Cheshire Credit
Union offers saving through
payroll deduction with a
number of local employers, as
well as by standing order, by
the popular PayPoint card or
by cash at Neston town Hall.
(Check with us for opening
times.)
There is no minimum deposit
(except for PayPoint, minimum
£10) and the joining process
is very easy. simply ring to
request an application form,
or download from our website,
complete and return it to us in
the post. We will send you a
membership pack containing
everything that you need to
start saving. After a qualifying
period savers can apply for
an affordable loan from West
Cheshire Credit Union. Because
the Credit Union is run as a
not-for-profit organisation loan
rates are kept as low as possible.
If you would like to request an
application form or to enquire
about volunteering with us
please ring 01244 399006.

Include your group in the

Neston Area Guide

CAN Group has been engaged by Neston Town Council, with additional
funding from Cheshire West and Chester ward councillors, to produce a

be a great opportunity for groups to promote their activities and increase
their numbers.

free to every home in the CH64 postcode area this Spring, with
additional copies available in public places for the benefit of visitors.
The guide will contain, amongst other things, contact information for
local, not-for-profit, clubs, organisations and societies, from Brownies to
knitting clubs, doctors to schools.
If you would like your group or organisation to be included in the Guide, a form can
be downloaded from www.aboutmyarea.co.uk/CH64, which will need to be returned
by NO LATER THAN Friday 25th February. Information received after that date will not
be included in the Guide. No reminders will be issued, so please act quickly to ensure
you are included. If you do not have access to the internet, please telephone Carrie

Ladies lead the way for Neston
With the second half of the hockey
season well under way, it is the ladies
first team who are leading Neston’s
chase for honours as they sit proudly at
the top of Cheshire Division Two. Under
the coaching of former men’s 1st teamer
Tom McCurdy, at the time of writing, the
girls are unbeaten in the league, and sit 5
points clear of their nearest rivals.
With captain Cat Peers expecting
her first child, Lisa Morris has taken
over the reins, and leads the side with
typical enthusiasm. In line with many of
the Neston teams, the side has a nice
balance of youth and experience, with
youngster’s Leah Barnes-Smith and
Hannah Newall, supporting Morris and
the excellent Lorien Waterer in defence.
Behind them, goalkeeper Sarah Morrell
joined the club this season, and has
helped ensure that Neston have the
meanest defence in the league. Former
National League player Suzy Twist and
Louise Swift have formed a dynamic
partnership in the middle of the field,
whilst Alex Pinnington has worked
tirelessly on the right. Meanwhile, Sarah
Fearnley is arguably having her best
season in a Neston shirt on the left, and is
Only one kind of love lasts: unrequited – Somerset Maugham
the team’s set-piece expert.
The front line is led by veteran striker
Sally Bell who leads the scoring charts,
and is ably supported by Kerry Cowley
who joined the team in the summer after
formerly playing at Acton. With another
junior, Laura Hammond, also part of
the squad, and the experienced Kate
Baxendale due to return from injury soon,
the future looks rosy for Neston’s ladies.
Elsewhere, Neston’s Ladies second
and third teams sit in mid-table in their
respective divisions. Of the seven men’s
teams, the first team are looking to
consolidate in North Division Two after
last seasons promotion, and currently lie
just above the relegation positions. It is
the 4th and 7th teams who are looking
most likely to emulate their female
counterparts, and both sides occupy 2nd
place in their divisions.
The junior section continues to thrive with
two development teams playing every
Saturday, and coaching sessions taking
place on Sunday mornings for boys and
girls. Many juniors have come through the
ranks and continue to bolster the senior
teams.

What Do We Do?
Financial column with Simon Tutton, from the Hadlow Edwards Partnership

As we head further into 2011 a few readers have
asked us to comment on how we go about helping
our clients make good decisions with their money.
It is fair to say that of course everybody is differ-
ent, some clients raising young families, others
well retired enjoying the garden.
Hopefully the following will provide a brief overview
of our approach.
• First – you/we need to understand exactly where
you are now. Sometimes this starts with two carrier
bags of papers and a sort out – sometimes beautifully
organised spreadsheets and files. If your paperwork
causes you problems we will help you get organised
and perhaps check just exactly what you do have in
place in the process.
• Next – we really want to consider exactly what you
want to achieve. Set some goals, timescales and con-
sider how your objectives can be met. Consider this
question perhaps for a moment: “In five years time if
you were looking back over 2011 to 2015 what has
to have happened to your financial plans for you to
be very happy with your progress?” If you know the
answer – great. If you don’t - you need a plan to work
to. Sometimes clients just wish to understand perhaps
their pension position and their options more clearly.
Other may have a very specific goal to pay off the
mortgage in five years or perhaps retire in ten.
• We would use the information gathered to provide
you with an accurate assessment of how your existing
investments, pensions and savings are performing.
Are your funds in the top ten of the league table or
the bottom ten? You really should know. Often unless
you have the right information it can be quite dif-
ficult to assess exactly how you are doing. We provide
a short report (at no cost) to allow you to get a clear
picture.
• Developing a plan – we work with you to put a
structured plan in place to help you set about achiev-
ing your financial goals. Sometimes it may start with
managing and controlling debt or simply ensuring
that your family has appropriate protection in place
in the event of any unforeseen events. Often clients
have built up a range of investments and pensions
that they have simply “lost track of “and this part of
the process can on occasions generate some surprises!
• Agreeing a way forward – most plans are only
as good as the monitoring you put in place. Most
clients meet with us on a half yearly basis to check on
progress and refine where necessary.
If you would like to undertake a thorough review
of your financial position please do drop us an email
or call to make an appointment either at home or in
our office. There is no cost or obligation we are very
confident that an hour or so of your time would not
be wasted. Equally you may just have one or two
questions that you wish to pose and again we would
be delighted to hear from you.

Mining history for all to see

Information boards telling the story of Neston’s former coal mines have been
erected on the site of the collieries. Two boards, carrying maps, photographs and
information, have been placed in Little Neston – one at Denhall Quay where the
earliest colliery mine operated, the other at the bottom of Marshlands Road.
In a separate move, display folders of information on the collieries have been given to
all local primary and secondary schools to help pupils learn about this important aspect
of Neston’s story. The information was organised by the Burton & Neston History
Society.
Anthony Annakin-Smith from the Society said, ‘We
know from past events we have organised that there
is an enormous amount of interest in the collieries.
The boards enable locals and passers-by in this
popular walking area to learn more about them. And
the schools information will help bring to life a time
and way of working that seems very remote from
today’s local children’. He added, ‘Many Nestonians
had relatives who worked at the mines and would
like to know more. But there are many other people –
both locals and visitors – who don’t know the mines
existed know and who are astonished and fascinated
to learn about them.’
The Society has previously organised guided walks
and public talks on the collieries which have often
been oversubscribed. An exhibition was held in
Neston Library 2009, the 250th anniversary of the
collieries’ opening, which attracted large numbers.
Pictured: the boards at Denhall Quay and The first mine, Ness Colliery,
Marshlands Road. was opened in 1759 and soon
employed almost 200 people.
For a while another mine
operated in adjacent Little
Neston but both mines had
closed by 1855 when silting
of the Dee Estuary had made
it difficult to move coal in
bulk.

Operations restarted as
Neston Colliery in 1874,
using a newly built railway.
The business went through
several hands before closing
permanently in 1927. At
its peak, in 1921, the final
business - Wirral Colliery -
employed about 350 people.

Have your say on town centre future

Users of Neston’s town centre are being asked to
help shape its future by sharing their views on the area.
Cheshire West and Chester Council’s Rural Agenda
and Market Towns team is currently working with a
number of groups in Neston to produce a Public Realm
Design Guide for the town.
Participants will be asked to identify what they
believe to be the town’s strengths and weaknesses,
whilst highlighting potential future opportunities and
challenges.
Distinctiveness and character will also be looked at before a Design Guide for the
future and some detailed proposals for specific areas identified during the work are put
in place.
Local member,
Councillor Kay Loch,
said: “The Public Realm
Design Guide will be an
overarching reference
point for all future works
in Neston town centre.
“The final document
will be used to help
make decisions on
issues ranging from
new road crossings
‘Crafty Market’
to public art and it is
vital that users of the
town centre - including
young people to local
Neston Town Hall
businesses - share their Arts & Craft Stalls
opinions and help to
shape this important Saturday 12th February
document.”

Store workers brave the cold to

ensure pre-school opens on time
The new Sainsbury’s
Superstore in Neston gave
a boost to Parkgate Pre-
School by offering them
some practical help in their
hour of need.
With snow falling and
temperatures dropping
well below freezing, the
new pre-school building
was in need of a final
push to help complete
the project so that it could
proudly open its doors in
the new year.
Thanks go to store
manager Tim Hassall
who diverted tradesmen
from his barely completed
new store in order to help
aid the completion of the
new pre-school building.
Sainsbury’s working
with their contractors
Longcross and Carmel
provided joiners and
plumbers over a number of
days before Christmas to
help add the finish touches
to the project.
The tradesmen travelled
from Stoke and Preston
through the snow to help
install plumbing and
perform various other
building tasks that required
professional input.
Thanks to their efforts
and the massive efforts of
the school Caretaker Mr
Allan Mayers, Parent and
Grandparent volunteers
the new preschool building
was opened in January.

Students try their hand at

climate change diplomacy
students from Neston High School travelled to France to take part in a Model
United Nations General Assembly.
The sixth formers, aged between 16 and 18, were split into teams of three and
represented a country affiliated to the UN in a climate change debate. Neston High
pupils took on the roles of UN representatives from Australia and Zimbabwe and The
Chester Catholic High Russia and Japan.
After they presented their country’s stance on climate change to the whole assembly,
they split into three committee meetings where they discussed and wrote resolutions
on Terrorism, the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Agenda and Water for All.
In total more than 100
young people took part,
split into 30 plus teams
travelling from the UK,
France, Germany, Italy
and Spain. The trip to
Grenoble was funded by
The British Council.
Steve Dool,
Headteacher at Neston
High School said: “We
are hugely supportive
of this kind of initiative.
As a school we pride
ourselves on holding an
International Schools
Advanced award for work
of an international nature
both within and beyond
the curriculum.
“This opportunity gave
students, and staff,
not only the chance to
consider global issues
but also to visit one of
our partner schools in
Grenoble. Our ambition
is to build on this
experience and to share
it with younger students.”

Burton is the
backdrop for
new movie
Locally made film Prelude to Macbeth had its world premiere at the Gladstone
Village Hall, on Saturday 29th January.
The film will go on to do the rounds of UK and international film competitions and
festivals.
Based on a prize-winning stage play, the film version with a running time of one
hour, was directed by Sue Bence and produced by Neston film maker James
Chalmers.
The actors and extras are from the Wirral and Cheshire and much of the shooting
was done locally, with St Nicholas’s Church, in Burton village, playing an important
role as a castle interior. The director suggested that it would be fitting to give the film
its first screening in Burton’s own village hall.
Peckforton Castle, near Beeston, was used to provide a suitable view of a distant
castle plus closer shots of its towers. The action then moves to the interior scenes
which were provided by four locations within the church.
The matching red sandstone of Burton church and Peckforton makes the whole
thing gel together more convincingly. James was quick to praise the church warden
Tony Carter whose help included stopping the tower clock when filming was taking
place to avoid the ticking being picked up by the microphone!

BOOK REVIEWS:
FEBRUARY READS
BY ELEANOR DAVIES, FROM LINGHAM’S BOOKSTORE, HESWALL

Fiction: Trespass- Rose Tremain

In a silent valley in southern France stands an isolated
stone farmhouse. Its owner, Aramon Lunel, is an
alcoholic haunted by his violent past. His sister, Audrun,
alone in her bungalow within sight of the farmhouse
, dreams of extracting retribution for the unspoken
betrayals which have blighted her life. Into this world
comes Anthony Verey, a wealthy but disillusioned
antiques dealer from London, seeking to remake his life
in France. From the moment he arrives a frightening
and unstoppable series of events is set in motion. I
won’t tell you more as I don’t want to spoil it for you!
Beautifully written with some very haunting moments
this is a wonderful picture of a special place and some
of the people who live there. Longlisted for last year’s
Booker prize, a fantastic novel by a greatly loved writer.
Strongly recommended for Book Clubs.

Travel Biography: The Great Explorers - Robin Hanbury-Tenison

It has always been mankind’s gift (or curse) to be inquisitive, and throughout the
ages certain people have been inspired to explore the limits of the world known to
them- and beyond. These people changed our perception of our surroundings through
their courageous adventures. But what drove such great explorers to venture into
unknown and unforgiving lands, facing almost unimaginable challenges and risking
death? In this series of biographies the stories of 40 explorers are described, their
lives revealed and their motives and passions examined. Each chapter is written by
a distinguished travel writer, broadcaster or historian who has a special interest in
the character they are introducing. The book is stunningly illustrated with beautiful
paintings, photographs, engravings and maps so we can experience the adventures
through their own eyes and in their own words. A brilliant present for anyone who
loves to travel.

Teen Fiction: Revolution- Jennifer Donnelly

This is Jennifer Donnelly’s second novel for young adults: her first, The Gathering
Light, won the Carnegie medal and was one of the original Richard and Judy TV
Book Club selected books. Partly set in present day New York and partly in Paris at
the time of the Frernch revolution, this is the romantic, utterly engrossing story of
two girls, two boys and the heart-wrenching thread that binds them together across
the centuries. What makes the book so readable is the fact that in spite of being 200
years aapart the two heroines have the same feelings and struggles. Better written
than many contemporary teenage novels, yet with a thoroughly absorbing plot.
