many other towns, was gripped by riotous election scenes as mobs paraded through the streets supporting or opposing candidates. There were less sinister gatherings as well, such as the colourful festivities when building work started on Liverpool’s new Custom House in August 1828. A Royal Champion, in full armour and mounted on a prancing horse, delighted the crowds. There were boat races, a firework display and banquet for special guests. The Custom House was designed by town architect and surveyor John Foster whose brother, Thomas, was town clerk of Liverpool. At about this time Thomas decided to retreat from the busy, smoky and congested continued on page 22

Hello Everyone Dawn Williams
Welcome to the April edition of the LINK
Moira Hesketh
HOW’S YOUR LEAFLET DROP SERVICE Have your leaflets delivered GARDEN LOOKING? with the LINK As we “gallop” into April we can’t help but think of summer. Yes, summer! Things like getting our gardens and outside areas in order. Don’t wait until a sunny spell arrives, that’s the time to be sitting out and enjoying the weather and not frantically trying to sort out the garden and scrubbing patios and garden furniture down. The sooner it’s all done the more time we have to sit back and enjoy it. Check out the landscaping display at Chestnut Building Centre in Picton Road for a wide choice of paving designs and ideas for your garden. Whether you are looking for artificial grass, a new patio, a landscaped garden, a beautiful weed and moss free lawn, a new shed, a new fence, a gardener to sort your garden out, your patio area cleaning or even your own bee hive, just browse the pages of the LINK and you will find what you are looking for. And remember, it’s more important than ever to support local businesses and local people! We at the LINK think so anyway. Talking of local people – have you got a story or an event? Please let us know if something good is happening in your area. Have a great Easter break and if you are going to
Aintree Races good luck! As always, thank you for supporting the LINK.

HALF CUT HARRY Half Cut Harry are an original 5-piece rock band from Wavertree/Childwall. Their music is distinctive due to its melodic riffs and powerful rock vocals. The band consists of… Jonny Atherton - Lead vocals / Keyboards Mikey Forster - Rhythm guitar / Backing vocals James Butterworth - Lead guitar Graeme Adcock - Bass guitar Kevin Lockhart - Drums / Percussion Formed in 2009, they were originally a 4-piece band created from the remaining members of The Lostboys. Tracks such as Heaven Help Me, and Broken were instantly popular, gaining local radio airplay and outings in local rock venues such as ‘The Krazyhouse’. In 2011 the addition of lead guitarist Jay injected new life into the band and this resulted in several new songs including the awesome rift driven track ‘The Hatter’
which is a huge hit with fans. Many successful local gigs followed; The Lomax, The Zanzibar, The Coffee House and Cuffs to name but a few. Standing out as being different and unique when compared to the predominantly Indie styles of other local bands and taking their influences from legends such as Guns and Roses, Bon Jovi, Muse, Iron Maiden and Led Zeppelin, the band have gained a rapidly increasing loyal fan base following their
live gigs. The future is looking exciting for H.C.H at the moment. 2012 was topped off by the recording of the band’s 4-track EP, recorded in Parr Street Studios and as soon as the art work for this is completed, a launch nite will follow. Half Cut Harry are also part of the line up at The Olympia on the 25th April for St Marks Hospital who pioneer in treatment for bowel cancer.

CHARITY BALL IN AID OF BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT UNIT Vicky Horsley is a nurse at Alder Hey Hospital and last year, after becoming very poorly with aplastic anaemia, had to have a transplant at the Bone M a r r o w Transplant Unit at the Royal L i v e r p o o l University Hospital. Vicky is understandably very passionate about the unit that saved her life and has dedicated herself to raising funds for the unit. Vicky hosted a charity event last year which raised over £10,000 and is hosting a Charity Ball in aid of the unit at the Liverpool Marriott Hotel on
11th May 2013. Tickets are priced at £35 each and the evening will include a red-carpet reception with 3-course dinner and coffee plus arrival drink. There will be a DJ and disco, with girlband Eden performing live and a dance troop. There will be a fund-raising auction and raffle held on the night and Vicky told The LINK: “I would like to say a massive thank you to all the companies who have supported us so far: The Centre of Advanced Beauty, Place of Beauty, Woodlands Beauty Spa, Flairs Hairdressers, Andrew Collinge, Ollie and Darsh, Matalan, Illamasqua Make-up, Pablo’s
Restaurant, Amber Wine and Bistro Bar, Peaches & Cream, Craig Warmby Hairdressers and Toni & Guy. We are extremely grateful to all of you for your
generous donations”. We at The LINK hope the night is another great success, Vicky. For further information, or

Mr Funny Dimples slumped in the battered armchair, put his feet on a stool and sighed deeply. It had been a particularly bad day. Several factors had led to his enforced retirement from the circus – age and rheumatism being just two. Audiences didn’t laugh any more. His final year had been a nightmare. It was 1932 and the impact of the talkies had seen more and more people heading for the ever-growing numbers of cinemas. People no longer wanted to huddle in a big top in Sefton Park when they could be pampered in a picture palace. He was 60 but felt he could go on keeping the paying public in stitches. However, he knew that clowns were only as good as their last pratfall. Col Silas Highjinks, the circus boss, summoned Mr Funny Dimples into his gaudily-painted caravan one evening after a particularly painful performance.
The Colonel offered him a big cigar and spoke of the need for new ideas, fresh blood and originality. In other words he was fired. After more than 30 years Mr Funny Dimples became

and more entertainers out of work as music halls and other live venues closed down. Bert still thought of himself as Mr Funny Dimples, referring to facial features revealed when he covered his face with white make-up. He shifted his feet off the stool and gazed wistfully through the French windows looking over the lawn behind his lodgings. The sun was setting in a clear red-tinged Liverpool sky. What a day! First he had to sit through the planned comeback of Vera and her Amazing Poodles. In the afternoon he was collared by Harry Howden who insist-

He secured a booking at a run-down suburban theatre only because he offered to perform for nothing. Mr Funny Dimples strutted about the stage, a mass of ruffles and bright colours. His antics raised a breeze of laughter from the well-oiled audience.

He had planned his exit meticulously – disappearing in a puff of smoke through a trap door. That was the last time anyone saw Mr Funny Dimples. A search of the theatre revealed no trace of the clown and he remains on the missing persons file to this day.

Dear Friends, Easter is on its way so in this m o n t h ’ s ‘Fighting Fit’ campaign, I am going to share with you an article about chocolate written by Charles Poliquin, who is regarded as one of the top strength and conditioning coaches in America. Eating chocolate used to be cause for plaguing us all with guilt. Well, closet chocolate eaters, you can all come out now! Recent scientific research tells us that chocolate is rich in anti-oxidants called flavonols. These anti-oxidants protect our arteries and prostate glands, reduce inflammation and increase sensations of well -being. The same flavonols are found in green tea and in certain types of berries.
THE RULES OF CHOCOLATE Of course, you should allow some rules when choosing the right chocolate for you. Here are rules to
follow to make it even more guiltfree. 1. The darker the chocolate, the better it is. Look for a brand that stipulates at least 70% cocoa. Most people find 85% brands way too bitter to eat. 2. Read the entire label. Watch out for ingredients such as high fructose, corn syrup and hydrogenated fats. These ingredients will reduce the health benefits of chocolate. 3. Keep the milk out of it. Studies have revealed that drinking a whole glass of milk with your chocolate is enough to block absorption of all anti-oxidants,. Stay away from milk chocolate products. 4. Keep the servings small. Stick to servings of about 15-30 grams at a time, one serving per day. During menopause, you can possibly have 4 servings a day, providing you are exercising 4 times weekly. Hope this helps or gives you a guideline for over Easter. Have a great Easter and see you next month. Paul

Tom Thumb Lawn Care have the Weapons Of MOSS DESTRUCTION! Well, what a winter it has been. The mild start and sudden drop in temperature has caused an endless amount of problems on our region’s lawns. Following a wet sum-
mer and a mild autumn, moss has flourished in our lawns. Moss can be found throughout any lawn but thrives mostly in damp shaded areas. When air temperatures are low enough for the grass plant to stop growing, moss takes the
opportunity to take over. Scarification, aeration and an application of a good quality Spring Lawn Treatment is the best thing for it.

Aimee Best, Dogs Trust Merseyside Rehoming Centre SRO, says: “Skip is a lovely little chap currently residing with us at Dogs Trust Merseyside. He is a typical terrier who is always on the go and full of beans. He loves to play with his toys, and go out on walks and loves being around people. Skip would benefit from a new home with someone who enjoys long walks and who isn’t out for too much of the day. Skip can be a bit excitable, so would prefer to live with children of 14 years old and above, as he has bags of energy. He does need some basic training so a new owner who would enjoy doing this would be ideal Skip is a really cute, happy little chap who, with the right love and care, would make a wonderful addition to a home.” If you think Skip is the perfect pooch for you, please contact Dogs Trust Merseyside on 0151 480 0660 or drop into the centre: Whiston Lane Liverpool L36 6HP, United Kingdom
Dogs Trust is the UK’s largest dog welfare charity and cares for over 16,000 stray and abandoned
dogs each year through its network of 17 Rehoming Centres nationwide.

VISION ORANGERIES NEW CONCEPT IN CONSERVATORIES
FREE* CLIMATE CONTROL Horseshoes have been considered a symbol of good luck since the 4th century. In the past most people in Britain had a horseshoe hanging in their homes, especially above a door, as this was thought to keep the Devil away. In Britain horseshoes must be hung with the prongs facing upwards ‘or the luck will run out’. In many other countries it is the exact opposite; the horseshoe hangs with the prongs down so that the luck will pour out on to you. Horseshoes are made of steel, iron, or aluminium and there are many different kinds to suit the need or work of the horse. The person who constructs the shoes is the farrier and s/he specialises in making and fitting the shoes, whereas a blacksmith, by trade,
crafts anything made out of metal. It is traditional to give a bride a horseshoe on her wedding day, and how much better to give a ‘real’ one, rather than a plastic or cardboard imitation. Maureen Bevan has specialised for many years in the supply of decorative horseshoes and told The LINK: “I have been working with horseshoes for many years. I collect them from a farrier then clean and paint them. They are then personalised and decorated to your own specification. Horseshoes are always recognised as good luck symbols and make unusual and personal presents. My horseshoes have proven popular for new homes, special birthdays, anniversaries, exam congratulations, and of course for weddings. They are boxed and delivered (within a reasonable distance) for just £10.

DAVE REAPS BENEFITS OF WEIGHT LOSS
DAVE’S STORY I decided back in June 2011 that I had to do something about my weight (weighing 22 stone and 3 pounds at the time) before my Civil Ceremony, which had been booked for June 1st 2012. I was also inspired by my younger brother Simon who had excellent weight losses by following the plan for the previous year. I joined the Slimming World class run by John Kelly at the Halfway House in June 2011 and was surprised and amazed at the amounts and portion sizes of the foods that you are allowed to eat - not having to deprive myself of my favourite foods like pasta, potatoes, rice, meat, fish and lots of lovely fruits and vegetables, even chocolate!! The Extra Easy plan is exactly what it states - totally flexible and allows me to work the plan around my lifestyle. To date I have lost 5 stone and I am feeling great. I would say to anyone who is thinking of joining a group that it is one of the best things I have ever done and I’m now reaping the health benefits from my weight loss as I am no longer on any medication for asthma or blood pressure (and I was taking medication for over 20 years!). Adding
years to your lifespan is something that you just can’t buy and this reason alone keeps me attending group - to achieve my target of a 6stone weight loss. Dave attends Jo Young’s Slimming World group at Lifestyles Aquatics Centre, Wellington Road, Wavertree; Wed. 5pm and 7pm; Thurs 9.30am. Jo also runs the Elm Hall Drive Methodist Church group on Tuesdays at 7pm.

COACHMANS DRIVE, LIVERPOOL L12
TOWN CLERK’S RETREAT by Stephen Guy continued from page 1 town to the pleasant open spaces of Woolton. He built a lovely mansion called Knoll Park (now a convent) off Church Road, at that time in isolated countryside. It was a haven of calm away from political in-fighting and municipal dramas. The main entrance to Thomas’s Regency pile was guarded by a tiny lodge built in the classical style (pictured), reflecting the grace of the main house. A few years later Thomas found himself playing a key role in bringing about change. Corporation Commissioners were appointed to carry out investigations into municipal business. Thomas spent most of November 1833 being grilled by the Commissioners about Liverpool’s affairs. He performed so well that civic leaders and residents presented him with a silver table candelabrum which no doubt took pride of place at Knoll Park. In 1835 the Municipal Reform Bill swept away outdated practices and paved the way for modern democracy. Liverpool’s outdated Corporation was revamped and Thomas lost his job. He did not go quietly and claimed massive compensation of £77,108 (about £5.5 million in today’s money). Thomas, who had been paid £7,400 a year, finally agreed on a pension of £2,500 for life in July 1836. He did not enjoy it for long as he died in Calais, where he had gone for his health, just two months later. John Foster was also axed from his Corporation post in the reforms and settled for a more modest pension of £500. Everybody else kept their jobs. • Learn more about the history of Liverpool at the Museum of Liverpool, Pier Head, open 10 am to 5 pm every day, admission free.

STONEYCROFT FC - RECENT RESULTS TELL A SAD TALE After a bright start to 2013 with two consecutive victories, the optimism generated from those games soon dissipated as a run of four straight defeats has seen the club eliminated from two cups and sink to the bottom of the league. That said, the two games in the IZingari Cup and the George Mahon Cup (both against APH; lost 1-2 & 0-1) were evenly fought and could have quite easily gone the other way. The league game against East Villa was the archetypal game of two halves as Stoneycroft failed to get started in the opening half and conceded two poor goals, but in the second half showed spirit and determination that deserved greater reward than the one
goal they managed to pull back. Last week’s game against Red Rum was a sorry tale of woe. Played on a cold, wet and miserable March day, Stoneycroft’s performance was one that matched the weather. Having taken the lead on 15 minutes after a reasonably bright start, Red Rum started to boss the midfield and, coupled with an inability by Stoneycroft to retain possession, it only become a matter of time before Red Rum took control and they eventually run out 41 winners to extend Croft’s losing run. To complete a miserable afternoon Dylan Robinson, making his first full start for the club, sustained a broken leg and will be out for the rest of the season. We wish Dylan a speedy recovery and hope he is soon back playing.
ALDER FC PROMOTION PUSH CONTINUES by Peter Harrison
Since my last article, the first team have remained unbeaten with close back-to-back wins against BRNESC Timmy Naylor on the score sheet - and a 2-1 victory against Edge Hill (Terry Tynan and Antony Wong). They now have a realistic chance of pro-
motion to the premier division and with crucial games against top placed teams looming these games may decide their season. The third team recorded the win of their season so far, defeating previously unbeaten Jaymac 3-1, Phil King netting twice and Tom Mohamotho grabbing the important goals in a great team performance.
The Vets inconsistency continued with a fine 5-1 victory against Midden Vets - Steve Stewart back on the score sheet twice, Bernie Manning and Mark Carney. However, the following week, a disappointing below par performance saw a heavy 5-0 defeat to Hillfoot leave them mid table. This month’s picture rolls back the years to
10 years ago with the IZingari Combination team that reached the divisional cup final. Amongst those pictured are a youthful Gordon Lee, Mick Roberts, Barnsey, Maddi, Hilly, Scott Atcho, Whitey, Corro, Terry Tynan, Yowie, Gracey, Mick Andrew, Barry and Paul Robbo, Antony Wong, Christie and yours truly.

Despite a 4-3 home defeat against title rivals Mallaby, South Liverpool FC remain on course for promotion to the first division of the West Cheshire League, after three straight wins against teams in relegation danger. The defeat to Mallaby was, ironically, one of South’s best performances for some time, dominating the second half after going in at half time 3-2 down after goals from Tom Kinsella and Alex Woodcock. An equaliser from Woodcock looked to have got the team something from the game after hitting the woodwork three times but the fast Mallaby forwards were always a danger and grabbed a fourth near the end. Since then, South have not been entirely convincing but have eventually eased past Mossley Hill Reserves, AFC Bebington Athletic and Marshalls. A 4-1 win against Mossley Hill saw goals from Tom Kinsella, Cameron Dalton and two from centre back Andrew Tull. A 2-1 win at AFC Bebington saw Alex Woodcock score twice, his second coming with only 10 minutes to go. A 5-3 win at home to Marshalls saw the
team come from 3-1 down with only 20 minutes to go. A triple substitution provided the necessary spark as South completely dominated the final phase with a goal from Gary Pollard and a hat-trick from Alex Woodcock, the club’s leading scorer with 24 goals. The reserves have been preparing for a league cup semifinal at the time of going to press and have an outside chance of promotion. Despite a 3-2 loss at Neston Nomads with two goals form Pat Kelly, two wins over relegation candidates, and other results elsewhere, have left the team with a chance of getting into the top two.
A 3-0 win at Upton AA Reserves with goals from Dean Sayer, Kieran Parker and Adam Brittles and a 7-1 home win against bottom club Ellesmere Port Reserves with goals from Sharif Yusuf, two from Francis Evans, Pat Kelly, James Gaskill, Adam
Here’s our top goalscorer Ally Woodcock with 23 goals including a hat trick on Saturday 16th March. Brittles and Gerard Forde produced six welcome points. The youth team have had a very disrupted season but have easily qualified for the league cup competition quarter finals, including a youth team record 12-0 win over hapless Brookvale
United. The resignation of Ramsbottom United has given the team an advantage in the league competition with only one win required from the last three league games, albeit against our main rivals, Bootle and Gateacre.
