NESTON WE all think we’ve got the prettiest and best dog - but this month there’s the chance to prove it at Neston’s annual fun dog show. There are lots of different categories and it’s quite informal - not quite like Crufts!

In this edition there is news from the local schools, including the A Level results, Neston ATC, Hadlow Station, clubs and Christian Aid. There is lots more local news, what’s on guide, business directory and much more.

Marjorie bids farewell to Parkgate School Marjorie Downey, long-serving Headteacher at Parkgate Primary School had a rousing send off from staff, governors, and pupils for her retirement at the end of the summer term. After 18 years at Parkgate Primary School, Mrs Downey is starting a well-deserved retirement and plans to start with plenty of travelling. There were many surprises in her leaving assembly, which included dances from former pupils and video messages from her grandchildren. The afternoon finished with refreshments in a marquee decorated by bunting made by the children.

Full steam ahead for community fund

Improvements at Hadlow Road Station in Willaston will go ahead thanks to a grant from the Neston and District Community Fund. The Fund has given the Grade II English Heritage listed station £1,000 to help preserve the site and promote it as a valuable tourist and educational attraction. Next year, the station celebrates its 150th anniversary. The application for funding came from the recently formed Friends of Hadlow Road Station, a group run entirely by volunteers and created to work with Cheshire West and Chester Council (CWaC) to enhance the historic buildings and surroundings. CWaC owns the Hadlow Road site which it maintains according to statutory and legal requirements.

Churches raise so much for charities

Neston and District Churches have again been busy this year, raising money for others. The sponsored walk in March raised £1,871 – slightly less than in 2014. Lent Lunches raised £230, and Count Your Blessings produced £348. During Christian Aid week in May the house-to-house collection raised £8,505 – up by £1,000 on the previous year. Lynne Vaughan, Christian Aid Week Organiser, said: “This is a splendid amount, and we are most grateful to the volunteers who knocked on doors, and to the people of Neston and District who gave so generously.” Sainsbury’s bag-packing & collection raised £533, and Gordale collection raised £341 – both more than in 2014. All this resulted in a total of £9,445 for Christian Aid Week. In addition churches raised £732 towards the Nepal earthquake appeal. Treasurer Eileen Ward said: “Many thanks to all who helped in any way to achieve these excellent results, offering a helping hand to people all over the world who are very much less fortunate than we are.” The picture shows a few of the walkers on the 2015 sponsored walk about to set out from the United Reformed Church.

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile! It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Alan Ball feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving

people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service Neston, Parkgate, Little Neston, Burton and Ness

& Alan is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family

of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Alan a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Desert marathon was so tough Neston Air Cadets leader Flight Lieutenant Paul Thelwell has been recalling his adventures in the gruelling Marathon Des Sables. Runners in the notorious endurance event have to make their way 156 miles across the Sahara Desert in six days. The conditions were extreme during the run in March of this year. Freezing temperatures would greet the runners each morning before rising to an incredible 51oC in the day. All his equipment had to be carried in a rucksack, and the only thing that was provided at the end of each day was a tent and supplies of water. Paul said: “I didn’t realise that there was more to a desert than just sand, as I had to cross mountain ranges and uneven rocky terrain.” The race equated to 6 x 26-miles marathons, but, one stage was 58 miles which meant travelling through the night with just a head torch and compass. This definitely was his hardest challenge to date. Paul said of his experience: “Having achieved what was the penultimate item on my bucket list, I have just one more to go – top of Everest!! As for the MDS, all that hard training paid off, and I will have memories and friends for life.”

Graduation Former Neston Air Cadet Vanessa Fields has graduated from Loughborough with a Masters in Aeronautical Engineering.

Retired – at 20!

Unforgettable march Henry James travelled to Holland to complete a tough 60 mile march. Henry, who is a Corporal with Neston Air Cadets was among 40,000 people to attempt the tough four-day challenge of the Nijmegen march. Henry said: “The atmosphere during the march, and, the camaraderie of all those who took part was a great experience, one I will never forget.” Henry, who lives in Parkgate, is the first cadet from 2375 (Neston) Squadron, to complete the marches in eight years.

Neston ATC said goodbye to Cadet Warrant Officer Callum Reid, who has retired from the cadets at the age of 20. Callum has been a fantastic role model, gaining his solo Wings in both gliding and flying, his Silver Duke of Edinburgh award, and numerous adventure training awards. His greatest achievement was captaining a team of four cadets in the annual Merseyside Wing Adventure Training Competition, in which they have won four times in a row.

Summer in Gibraltar Two Neston Air Cadets got the opportunity to attend a camp in Gibraltar over the summer. Sergeant Joshua Molyneux and Sergeant Jonathan Mountford were among cadets from all over the country who got to spend time on the Rock. Joshua is pictured on the rock.

A The Geberit AquaClean 4000 only uses 400ml of water at each use, and although this is more than a normal loo, there are positive environmental aspects to this choice, such as using less toilet paper. Water, chemicals and other raw materials are wasted in the production of toilet paper, and while it’s biodegradable, the process still leaves chemical traces in our water supply.

This has been another year of 100% pass rate at A level, and with an increase in the total points and points per entry on previous years’ results. “A significant number of students have achieved a total results score in excess of 1000 points; 220 grades achieved the gold standard of grades A* to B. A very good year for our students and reflects the hard work put in by students and their teachers, not forgetting the unwavering support of their parents”, said Steve Dool, headteacher. “We are proud of the well above national average number of our students who follow the more academic, ‘facilitating A levels’ as recommended by the prestigious Russell Group of Universities. We are equally proud of the 30 students who achieved a Distinction* in their vocational courses the highest grade possible. They all deserve our warmest congratulations”

Sue Williamson, chief executive of the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust (SSAT), pupil David Price and head teacher Steve Dool at the showcase.

Pupils aren’t just stuck in the classroom Neston High School has been praised for its work in educating pupils outside the classroom. The school put on an exhibition to showcase the fact that over 200 visits depart from the school each year. Sue Williamson, Chief Executive of the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust (SSAT) commended the outstanding practice that runs through all departments She said: “The number of visits is truly amazing and clearly appreciated by the students. When I toured the exhibition, I was impressed by the students who were explaining the learning benefits from the visits. The Year 7 students were fully engaged in their fact-finding missions and the older students were very supportive as well as informative.” Assistant deputy head teacher Miss Harkness said: “As a school we really value providing an extensive Learning Outside the Classroom programme for our students, this event demonstrates our commitment and drive to provide the best opportunities for our students to learn in a variety of ways.”

The Bowen Technique What is it? The Bowen Technique is a remedial, hands-on therapy that is applied using very gentle pressure. The practitioner uses thumbs and fingers on precise points of the body to perform Bowen’s unique sets of rolling-type moves which stimulate the muscles and soft tissue of the body. There is no manipulation or adjustment of hard tissue and no force is used. The experience of a treatment is gentle, subtle and relaxing. It is believed that the Bowen Technique prompts the body to reset, repair and balance itself and clients report the experience of pain relief, improvement of function and recovery of energy.

hoW Does it Work? One of the least understood areas of the body is the brain. There are something like 600,000 signals that travel from the brain into the body every second and these in turn come back to the brain with information which is then interpreted and sent back out. In the case of the Bowen move, the brain is unable to do this instantly and needs more information to form a response. As it is, just when the brain is asking for more info, the therapist has left the room, and therefore the brain has to send specific signals to the area in order to gauge a response. If the client is © lying down, the immediate response is nearly always A Wetrooms OnLine Wetbase Kit is

rapid and deep relaxation. The client will also often report that they feel a tingling sensation or warmth in the area just worked. “It felt like your hands were still on me,” is a common comment. We believe this demonstrates that because the move is out of the ordinary, the brain is looking for information about what happened. hoW LittLe is DoNe! One of the more difficult elements to come to terms with is how little is done during a session. In addition, the client may well walk out of the treatment room having felt little or no improvement over and above a sense of relaxation. However, the reactions to Bowen in the days following a treatment can often belie its soft and gentle approach. Stiffness, soreness, headache and feeling like “I’ve been run over by a bus!” are common. All excellent signs, they demonstrate that the brain and body have started the process of repair. This process, when started, is generally rapid and it is not uncommon for even longstanding pain to be reduced or resolved in two or three treatments. Most sports or work-related problems can often be dealt with within the two or three treatments, making Bowen not only good remedial treatment, but cost effective for the client as well.

and this can be said of Bowen as well. If the body responds to the treatment, then it can and will start the process of repair. If it doesn’t respond, then no harm is done.
