TURNING THE PAGE by Stephen Guy, West Derby Society
We were walking down Town Row one day when we noticed the sign: Site for New West Derby Library. This was exciting news as the nearest libraries were in Old Swan, Green Lane and Larkhill. There was a commercial lending library in one of the Town Row
shops but the books were mainly novels – you paid every time you borrowed one. This would be different – our own, brand-new library. I was about 10 years old, only having learnt to read at seven, but already I loved books. I particularly liked what we called, for some reason, Shy Boy
Books – bound copies of National Geographic Magazine. The colourful photographs were fascinating. The years rolled by and the sign on the waste ground next to the new Co-op supermarket aged and deteriorated. continued on page 4

grounds on the left were taken away in the war as part of the call for scrap to make guns and ammunition. We used to walk along the top of the low wall and were disappointed when new railings were put up in the 1960s. One day a brand new mobile library rolled up and parked on the alleged Site for New West Derby Library. Presumably the city council had been bombarded with questions about the new library so sent one on wheels instead. We used the mobile for many years to supplement visits to the Central Library, Green Lane etc. Eventually the sign announcing the new library fell down, the mobile stopped coming and apartments were built on the site. At last we now have a West Derby Library in the new high school. • Join the West Derby Society at its next meeting 7.30 pm on Wednesday 15 February at Lowlands, 13 Haymans Green, Liverpool L12 7JG.

ALDER FC 2ND TEAM CUP PROGRESS by Peter Harrison As the season resumed, the second team moved into their third quarter final fol-
lowing a 2-1 victory against Mags in the I Zingari Challenge Cup.
THE OAKS PUB & FUNCTION SUITES
Played in blustery conditions, Mags took the lead with a great chipped goal from Alex, and Alder seemed to have wasted their first-half wind advantage with a number of missed goal opportunities. However, just before the stroke of half time, a twice taken free kick from Mark Aldwark resulted in a penalty, which Danny McNally converted. The second half was quite an even affair, but sloppy defending by Mags played in McNally who smartly converted his sec-
ond to seal the game. The first team resumed with a disappointing defeat away to Warbreck Reserves which may now have seriously dented their promotion prospects. Despite good personal performances from John Boardman and Eddie Munro they were on the receiving end of a 2-0 defeat. The Vets XI were unable to resume their season as their cup game against Sacre Coeur was called off due to weather conditions.

Marie Curie Cancer Care is appealing to people in Liverpool to give an hour as a volunteer collector for the Great Daffodil Appeal. The appeal is Marie Curie’s biggest fundraiser and encourages everyone to give a donation and wear a daffodil pin in March. All money raised will allow the Marie Curie Hospice, Liverpool to provide expert care and the best possible quality of life, for people with terminal cancer and other illnesses and support for their fami-
lies, completely free of charge. Marie Curie Nursing Ambassador, Clare Horgan, was inspired to become a nurse for the charity after her brother died of cancer. She explains why the appeal is so important: “I absolutely love my job as I see first hand what it means for terminally ill people to be able to spend their final days in the place of their choice with friends and family nearby. “Marie Curie Nurses make this possible by providing physical

Three goals from hat-trick hero Eddie Baker secured Stoneycroft FC all three points in their promotion battle with rivals Liverpool North and extended the club’s winning run to 11 games. Liverpool North put up a spirited performance in an attempt to get back into the game after Baker had fired ‘Croft into a two goal lead and pulled one back through Andrews who netted from the spot. However, they failed to threaten the Stoneycroft goal and found central defenders Liam
Currie and Sam Kershaw in fine commanding form. The home side squandered a number of chances before and after they had taken the lead, including a missed penalty, but clinical finishing from the exceptional Baker saw the ‘Croft finish comfortable 3-1 winners. Delighted boss John Leary praised his players’ quality and desire to win: “It was important that we took our winning run into the New Year and I am pleased with our overall performance and that we have bagged another three points”.
