The Molyneux Cross, perhaps disThe Second World War was at its height and played at the Battle of Hastings where the many of the staff from the big house were doing family’s Norman ancestor distinguished their duty for King and country. himself, can be seen around the Village.
The Countess of Sefton became a familiar sight driving her pony and trap up the long drive from Croxteth Hall into West Derby Village.
Here she would alight with her shopping basket and visit the various shops in the Village including Brook’s, the high-class grocery on the corner of Mill Lane. The Countess took to her wartime chores with zest – doing the shopping would have been unthinkable in her youth when servants were plentiful. Lady Sefton had lost her younger son Cecil Molyneux in the First World War - killed in the Battle of Jutland aged just 16. The senior line of the ancient Liverpool Molyneux family died out with the death of his brother Hugh, the last Earl, in 1972. He did not have a single close blood relative but the legacy of the family can still be seen in West Derby Village. The manor court was where the Molyneuxes sat in judgement for centuries (open every Sunday 2 pm to 4 pm until the end of October admission free).
The much-loved Village we know today is largely a Victorian creation built to enhance the new entrance to Croxteth Hall in the late 1850s. This watercolour by prolific Liverpool artist William Gawin Herdman shows how the Village originally looked before it was redeveloped. The old chapel and various other buildings were torn down to achieve the open aspect we know today. West Derby Village has always been a shopping area although today there is perhaps a greater focus on non-retail businesses. Another chapter in the long and distinguished history of the Village opens on Saturday 2 June when a farmers’ market is scheduled between 9 am and 2 pm. Visitors can buy locally grown and produced foods in a community-based market environment. Among the special guests are some of the favourite animals from Croxteth Hall Home Farm. I will be giving guided tours of the Village including the courthouse, stocks, drinking fountain and monument. • Join the West Derby Society at its next meeting 7.30 pm on Wednesday 16 May at Lowlands, 13 Haymans Green, Liverpool L12 7JG.

The Tudor West Derby Courthouse is open between 2 pm and 4 pm every Sunday until the end of October, admission free. When this manor court was rebuilt in 1586 on the orders of Queen Elizabeth, there were just seven streets in Liverpool. The court was run by members of the powerful Molyneux family, later Earls of Sefton who lived in nearby Croxteth Hall until 1972. The Grade II*-listed Courthouse is the only freestanding post-medieval court building in Britain and dealt with land issues and minor misdemeanours until 1910.

Old Swan Youth Club is a registered charity that works with young people from in and around the area. It provides youth and play provision for young people. We focus on social and personal development and implement informal education through play. Any money that you donate will go to support the work that goes on at the centre.
It was not too long ago that we though Old Swan Youth Club would have to close its doors but through the hard work of the local community and the dedicated volunteers we have managed to stay afloat and raise money to keep providing young people with this important provision. There is no other provision like this in the area and so it is imperative that we try our very best to keep this centre going any way that we can and this is why it is so important for us to raise money for the centre and the young people

I spoke to Elle Hulse, a dedicated volunteer at Old Swan, about the race and she said that she would like to be involved too and try to raise money for the centre so together we have been training for our 10K race.

Dog of the Month Staff at Dogs Trust Merseyside are looking for a loving new home for nine year old Labrador Cross Paddy who has been at the rehoming centre since last Summer. Georgina Lowery, Dogs Trust Merseyside Rehoming Centre Manager, said: “Paddy is a such sweet boy when he gets to know you but he can be wary of strangers and this means that he is being overlooked by visitors to the centre. He really needs a quiet rural home and Dogs Trust would consider homes anywhere in the country if the right owner can be found. We hope that he gets some attention this coming weekend, we’ll be decorating his kennel with shamrocks to make sure he stands out from the crowd!” Dogs Trust is looking for an experienced adult only home for Paddy as he is so wary of people. New owners will have to be willing to make multiple visits to the centre to build a bond with him before taking Paddy home. He would prefer to be the only pet in the household and would need a quiet rural home. If you would like to offer a home to Paddy, please call Dogs Trust Merseyside directly on 0151 480 0660 or visitwww.dogstrust.org.uk.

ST MARY’S MILLENNIUM HALL, WEST DERBY VILLAGE
Millennium Hall Art Group
Art Exhibition 10.00 am to 4.00 pm 12/13 May 2012
About 10 years ago, several people enrolled for an Art Class in LCC Newsham Drive. The social ties that developed within the group more than matched their achievements and ultimate qualifications so when, after a few years, Liverpool City Council told them they could no longer provide a class for them, the group decided to “stick togeth-
er and do their own thing”. Unable to gain any financial support from the Council, the group hired a hall and continued to meet and paint. Then three years ago we moved into Millennium Hall to enjoy first class accommodation, car parking and full support from the Hall Management which enables us to invite professional artists along to demonstrate now and again. Sadly, over the years, some of the original members have

A LIVERPOOL RESTAURANT IS SENDING 2 PEOPLE TO THAILAND
To advertise see page TWO
Chaophraya Thai Restaurant in Liverpool ONE is well known for offering the ultimate Thai fine dining experience but to celebrate Thai New Year tomorrow the restaurant is taking the experience that one step further by sending two lucky people on a luxury trip of a lifetime to Thailand. The winners will receive two return flights to Thailand’s capital city, Bangkok, as well as £500 to spend once they arrive. Boasting attractions such as the Grand Palace and Wat Arun Buddhist temple, Bangkok is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Named after the main river in Thailand, Chaophraya (pronounced ‘Chow-pie-ya’) is considered an essential part of Liverpool’s Thai culture and history. With an emphasis on authenticity and fresh ingredients,
Chaophraya’s menu has been specially designed to highlight the delicate flavours of Thai cuisine. Dishes include classics such as Thai Green Curry as well as signature dishes such as ‘Weeping Tiger’ (marinated steak served sizzling hot) and Pan Fried Sea Bass with Chilli. 2012 Thai New Year is known as the Songkran festival which means astrological passage and Thailand celebrates New Year in a very traditional way from 13th April to 15th April 2012. The date was originally calculated as per astrological calculation. The New Year in Thailand falls during the summer month, right after the dry season. This day is considered to be a National holiday. Songkran is a very important time of year for all Thai people to reflect on the year and decide on suitable New Year resolutions for the year ahead. This is very similar to New Year Eve in the UK however it is actually custom-

But sitting at a desk, behind the wheel or any other sedentary career doesn’t have to mean that you’ll be another statistic! Changing your unhealthy eating and lifestyle habits into good habits is crucial if your aim is to lose weight and maintain your ideal weight long term. Incorporate these simple strategies into your working day and take a step closer to being healthier, more energetic and slimmer. • Don’t skip breakfast Those who do are often the same people who are found to be snacking on not so healthy food later on in the day. Skipping breakfast will not help you lose weight but will actually do the opposite. However, eating breakfast helps you lose weight by speeding up your metabolism – in the morning the body’s metabolism is most efficient at burning calories. • Keep healthy snacks close at hand all day For example, yogurt, protein bars, fruit, nuts and whole-wheat sandwiches. By eating 6 small, protein-rich meals and snacks – spaced 2 to 3 hours apart it has been proven to be the most effective way to keep your metabolism going strong and to ensure that your energy levels remain constant throughout the day. • Drink plenty of water If you’re trying to lose weight, water intake is important. Not only for proper digestion, but to prevent overeating. The sensation of thirst and hunger are generated simultaneously to indicate the brain’s needs. If you’re not getting plenty of water, you’ll likely to eat more to satisfy your body’s desire for water. When you feel hungry, try drinking a few glasses of water first – you may not be as hungry as you think. • Buy a pedometer You’ll be amazed at how motivating it can be. Experts recommend walking 10,000 steps a day and which can be difficult in a sedentary job. Clip a pedometer to your belt, and you’ll instantly walk more just to meet your goal for the day.

Liverpool has a reputation for having some of the best groomed women in the country! The pressure is always on and Liverpool women will always go that one step further to look stunning! At Skin Survival with ACP we can help and support you in a practical sense, by removing unsightly skin blemishes that may have affected your confidence and wellbeing, recently, or throughout your life. It is a great starting point for the ultimate clearer complexion. Some of the most popular treatments are removal of facial thread veins, blood

spots, spider naevus, skin tags, warts, dermatosis papulosa nigra and moles. Hairs on moles (and moles themselves) can be treated in ACP techniques. Once treatment has started the mole may reduce in size and colour. Hairs in moles are strong and deep with rich blood supply so may need repeated treatments. We can also treat sebaceous cysts, age spots and other blemishes. Please note some blemishes require a doctor’s written consent prior to treatment. The treatment will commence with a FREE consultation, time is allowed to discuss the blemish, how to treat it, intervals between treatments, as well as checking medical conditions and medication. A price estimate is always given. Skin should never be over treated so treatment intervals will be carefully considered depending on the condition of your skin

understated way, we specialise in enhancing your appearance, providing you with shapes and colours that can grow old with you, not leaving you with thick artificial brows that may not suit you as you get older.
After
The apilus electrolysis machine arrived into the salon in March and has lived up to all our expectations providing permanent hair removal with the minimum of discomfort. Electrolysis can treat any hair colour and any skin colour and is still the only proven method of permanent hair removal. Last but not least at Skin Survival we also do micro needling using dermal rollers the ultimate skin rejuvenation treatment involving dozens of tiny needles which penetrate the epidermis, basically causing minor trauma, the human body always strives to heal itself and this will involve an increased production in collagen and elastine. The result a visible reduction in
fine lines and wrinkles, softer smoother skin and a reduction in scar tissue. Results start to appear approximately one month after the treatment but the skin can carry on improving for a further 3 to 4 months. Owner Janine’s comment - “Times are hard but we all need a boost” It pays to invest in your skin, you only have one face and it is on constant show. At Skin Survival we can offer you clearer, younger looking skin and natural enhancements at affordable prices. All our staff are highly trained and eager to help so book your free consultation with complete confidence. Contact Skin Survival reception on 0151 220 4600

SOUTH ON VERGE OF TRIPLE SUCCESS by Jim Stanway A 2-0 win over AFC Bebington Athletic with goals from Alex Woodcock and Niall McHale clinched promotion for South Liverpool FC from the third division of the West Cheshire League with the prospect of achieving the league title still in the balance after an unexpected 2-1 defeat at home to third-placed Mossley Hill. The game at second-placed Helsby will almost certainly decide the title although South can win their final two games at Mersey Royal and Chester Nomads, even with defeat at Helsby, and still clinch the title. The Reserves are already champions of the 1-Zingari Combination Second Division after recent wins by 4-2 over secondplaced Real Stadium, with a hat trick for Chris Piercy, and by 2-0 over third-placed Walton Community with goals from Chris Piercy and Mitchell McNally. The club have
applied for the reserves to join the West Cheshire League third division next season but there are several other applications and the vote will take place in June. The youth team are still in contention for the youth division title of the West Cheshire League and have reached the final of the Youth Plate after an excellent 5-1win over Hale in the quarter final with goals from Mike Tomlinson, Brad Marland, Brad McEvoy, Anthony Marlow and Callum Brown. A 1-0 defeat to league leaders Maghull has given back the initiative to Maghull but all is still to play for. South achieved a walkover in the semi-final when opponents Remyca United were unable to field a team. A 5-1 away win at lowly Helsby with goals from Mike Tomlinson, Louis Fay, an own goal and two for Brad McEvoy, including a penalty, has ensured that the title questions will go down to the wire.

The Saturday team managed by Jim Davis in his last season in charge, has seen continual great form since the turn of Christmas. With a wretched start to the season seeing 6 straight defeats and lying bottom of the league, the team has turned things around, reached two quarter finals in the cup and currently lie seventh in the league. A good 4-0 victory against Old Xavs, the latest league victory to follow success against MCL Vets and Exedy. Chris Marsh, Mark Carney,
Tony Wardle have been regular marksmen, and our Greek surgeon Vaz recently opened his account, with Colin Marshall robustly defending, sometimes a little too robustly. The Sunday team, who are pictured, have reached the final of the prestigious National over 40’s Cup Competition. Following a tremendous 3-1 victory against BRNESC they will now face opposition from outside Liverpool in the final at a date and venue yet to be decided. This is a great achievement as they carry the Liverpool flag in a national competition - good luck to all the team.
Pictured are from left to right back row - Paul Brown, John Turner, Paul Watts, Danny Metcalfe, John Garrity, Paul Barnes, Joe Hunter, Gary Summers, Front row - Karl Gornell, Paul o Reilly, Tom Murphy, Charlie Boyd, John Boyd, Tosh Wade, Kev Walsh. Special mention to Peter Kay of Liver Plant Hire who has sponsored the team.

STONEYCROFT FC ARE THE MASTERS IN FIRST CLASS DISPLAY Alumni failed to contain an all too p o w e r f u l Stoneycroft in the first meeting between the two sides since the former University students knocked the home side out of the cup two years ago. This time the aca-
demics were taught a lesson in a game that, whilst never sparkling, showed that Stoneycroft were in a different class to the visitors. The unstoppable Eddie Baker ran riot with a further two goals scored in the space of a minute, the first in the 15th minute and the sec-
ond just a minute later. Paul Finnegan then netted with a superbly hit shot just before half time. After the turn around Paul Caruthers headed a fourth from a crisply hit corner taken by Kev Moss and Adam Beckett made it five in the 80th minute before Alumni hit back with
two in the last ten minutes as the Stoneycroft players eased up and relaxed towards the end of the ninety minutes. Stoneycroft, although not hitting the heights of their game achieved earlier in the season, are still creating chances but can be loose in defence at times. As
the season moves into the business end all their supporters will hope they will hit form at the right time to push for promotion. Result: Stoneycroft 5 Alumni 2 Man of the match: The excellent Eddie Baker
STONEYCROFT FC HIT SIX TO POST ANOTHER WIN by Mick Titherington Despite the absence of top goalscorer Eddie Baker through injury, wide man Adam Beckett and Kev Moss, Stoneycroft proved too good for Copperas Hill as they hit the postmen for six without reply in their Liverpool County FA Premier League Division 1 encounter at Maiden Lane. A number of chances went begging before an unfortunate Copperas Hill defender turned the ball into his own net in a doomed attempt to clear off his line.
Mike Kenney then made up for an earlier miss by adding a second then Paul Boardman headed a third before slotting home his second and his club’s fourth. The Copperas Hill defenders remained committed to their task and prevented further scoring with some amazing goalmouth scrambles and goal line clearances; this was aided, though, by some amazing misses by Stoneycroft players, when it seemed easier to score. Skipper Paul Finnegan’s screamer from 12 yards made it five, however. Paul Boardman completed his hat
trick with a perfectly taken penalty to boost the home team’s goal difference and help in their quest to go up as champions in what is increasingly looking like a three horse race at the top of the table. With the Stoneycroft back
four solid and chances galore created, all in all it was a satisfying day for manager John Leary.
