Gardening A Taste of the Exotic! After weeks of Arctic conditions I thought that this month’s garden ramblings should be devoted to one of my favourite plants which are always a reminder that there are still some tropical areas left on the planet. The Orchid is one of those plants that stirs up many emotions; desire, lust, mystery, envy and even palpitations amongst the faint hearted. Their famed rarity and expense is now tempered by the fact that you can pick them up from Asda or even the local BP forecourt. Once upon a time they really were the Ferraris of the plant world and many lives were lost trying to capture something that Lord Bathcourt-Jermyns didn’t yet have in his collection!

Major Refurb for Thornton Little Theatre Wyre Borough Council has announced a £220,000 refurbishment and expansion of Thornton Little Theatre in advance of a major new management partnership with the Paul Nicholas School of Acting. Development work includes the creation of a new entrance, foyer and multi-use function room, which will be used either for small meetings or additional theatre changing facilities. Building work is due to start in 1 March and should be finished by mid-June. While the refurbishment is taking place, council officers are striving to ensure it is Business as usual by keeping the venue open for as long as possible. Tom Pridmore, Director of Leisure Services, said: "This major refurbishment marks a new era for the theatre and moreover the local community who have supported the venue and helped business grow since its first refurbishment in 2003. The development will provide new meeting space and better customer facilities including a permanent bar. This will be operated by the theatre’s friends group, who provide such enthusiastic and valuable support." Since it’s re-launch, when the venue changed from the then little-used Thornton Lecture Hall to the now popular Little Theatre, event bookings have grown year on year. Council officials are now keen to see the venue fully reach its potential and in a unique partnership forged with the Paul Nicholas School of Acting who will make the venue their national headquarters, the venue will host more community activities. In order to facilitate the work, there will be some disturbance to existing hirers. However council officials are keen to minimise the impact and are working with all those groups who have bookings at the venue to ensure that as many events as possible are able to continue. Councilor Peter Murphy, portfolio holder for Living Communities, added: ‘The council is making the investment in the facilities in support of a new management arrangement with the Paul Nicholas School of Acting. "This will in turn reduce the ongoing subsidy of the venue and lead to new programmes for local people to enjoy. While some disturbance is inevitable we hope our existing customers will be patient and appreciate the investment being made to improve facilities for them."

LINK-Sport TCFC MAINTAIN POLE POSITION Thornton Cleveleys FC maintained pole position at the top of the Sports 360 West Lancashire League Division 1 with their latest league win against Slyne with Hest. A 4 – 1 win with goals from Bailey, Dawson, Langton and Borrowdale made sure they put 11 valuable points between themselves and their third placed opponents and 2 points over 2nd placed Fleetwood Hesketh. This win followed on the back of a hard fought 1 - 0 away win against Hawcoat Park – a game which created few chances but non the less proved that John Mendoncas team can dig in and carve out a win even when their opponents do not allow them to play their usual free flowing attacking football. Norcross were unlucky to find Hall ,Frankland and Smith on form for Thornton as they ran out 1 – 3 winners . The latest victory over Slyne not only secured three valuable league points but capped a 12 game winning streak that TCFC statisticians and historians believe to be a club record. With only 9 games remaining and only 5 games required to guarantee promotion to the West Lancs Premier League manager Mendonca was keen to point out that he is not taking things for granted . “We have shown this season that we can play attractive passing football but have also shown we are resilient enough to grind out a result as and when required and also have to maintain maximum concentration in each and every game we have left.” Looking towards the run in Mendonca also pointed out that the growing number of supporters that are coming to watch his team both home and away will be key to them joining the West Lancs elite “ At each home game we have noticed the numbers of people we have coming to support us has been increasing week on week .
