Neston Riverside WI

Neston Riverside joined with numerous other Cheshire WI groups in May to enjoy a visit to Haughton Hall near Bunbury. The grounds are not usually open to the public but an open day was arranged especially for the WI. The sun shone on the early part of the proceedings and the grounds were beautiful. The afternoon was rather wet but in the true spirit of the WI that didn’t stop us enjoying ourselves. The group’s guest speaker in May was Bernie Frost from the Charles Thompson Mission. This “Rescue” Mission is based in Birkenhead but helps people throughout Wirral. They provide food, clothing and daytime shelter for those in need, rehouse people if possible, send children to camp on holidays, give toys to families at Christmas, send hampers out to vulnerable people and many other valuable services.

Literary award for Neston Primary Staff and students at Neston Primary School are celebrating, after winning the first ever whole-school John Downing Award. The Award is one of two made by the UK Literary Association (UKLA) to recognise and celebrate creative teaching inspired by quality texts. Staff and a group of children selected the book ‘Atlas of Adventures’ by Lucy Letherland and Rachel Williams to inspire them to explore history, science, geography, music, dance, art, design and drama, in a project carried out over two months earlier this year. Head teacher Rob Golding said: “We are delighted to have won this award. This justifiably recognises the energy, creativity and hard work of our pupils and staff.” Mr Golding, who has recently been shortlisted for Cheshire Primary School Head Teacher of the Year, will attend UKLA’s 53rd annual International Conference in Glasgow on 1st July to deliver a presentation describing the work carried out and the children’s response.

While maintaining my commitment to council business as chairman, I will also be representing Neston Town Council at local and area functions. I am looking forward to fulfilling these duties to the best of my ability.” Cllr Kynaston has lived in the Neston area all her life, having been born in Parkgate, and moved to Little Neston when she married her husband, Robert. She previously worked in the TSB Bank when it was still a savings bank, and after 20 years she left to set up her own company offering small conference planning, building up to offering group leisure tours for organisations and social groups in the Cheshire area. She has now decided to retire so that she can have more time for her interests, such as the WEA (Workers Educational Association). l Cllr Dave Carter (right) was elected as Deputy Mayor. 18 To advertise call 01244 350398

The Geberit AquaClean range is comfortable and stylish too. And with a model to suit every style of home, it would make a perfect addition to your new spa-like bathroom.

Q I’m really interested in buying a Geberit toilet with a spray function, but I have heard they’re very expensive. Are there any more affordable alternatives?

Bliss

Bathroom

Well known and respected local bathroom and wetroom experts, Wirral Wetrooms have announced a massive quarter of a million pound investment and expansion project. Pulling on their industry leading design skills and extensive experience, the team have planned a show-stopping new look that is set to revolutionise their Irby showroom.

The first phase of the expansion to their upstairs showroom has begun with renovations to incorporate fully functional bathrooms settings including 10 operational showers and 12 working basins and taps all with the latest digital technology. Added to this under floor heating and a working sauna so clients can really ‘soak up’ the full Wirral Wetrooms offering. Owner Dave Sergison commented, ‘Customers will literally be able to

get a live demo of all the must-have bathroom accessories. You can turn showers on, see how they perform on different settings and see for yourself how the valves and knobs work. There will be full audio visual equipment along with high-tech LED lighting throughout.’

And you can even spend-a penny by sampling the fabulous new Geberit Aquaclean! Finally, complete the picture by choosing from a selection of their stunning tiles and you really be able to create a ‘tried and tested’ space to be proud of. Heart of Irby Village Dave and the team have always supported the local community in Irby and the surrounding areas, and played a part in the life and soul of the village and love being there,

Dave commented “We recognised Irby as a great place to stay and grow in, we like the space we are in. We’ve taken on 2 apprentices and making this significant investment into the building can only improve it.” “Our new showroom will be completely unique for the Wirral, and will revolutionise the experience of buying a new bathroom for our customers. We want nothing more than people to come in and try them out for themselves, even down to taking your shoes off and feel the under floor heating, you can even take a shower if you are game, we don’t mind!” And with service and quality and experience that is second to none, your will be sure to find your slice of Bathroom Bliss, right here in the heart of Irby.

A You don’t have to spend a vast amount of money to purchase a Geberit toilet. There are also less expensive models in the range such as the Geberit AquaClean 4000. This compact loo seat is designed to replace your existing loo seat and is straightforward to install, as it fits on the existing seat.

Q Should I be concerned about how much water is used in spray-function toilets? 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.

individuals, by assessing your lifestyle and family commitments while providing a unique look. The prices are competitive and with excellent customer service, 100% customer satisfaction and with every aspect of your bathroom completed to the highest quality, what more could you want? Oh, and by the way customers receive a freshly made cup of their favourite coffee, latte, cappuccino or espresso when they visit the showroom! Wirral Wetrooms really do appreciate being part of their community and like to participate in helping with Friends of Irby Library. Their latest venture, I was informed, is a sponsored charity parachute jump, which seven of the team will be undertaking to raise money for the Catterbridge Cancer Charity.

Jessicaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s badge of honour goes nationwide Congratulations to Parkgate Primary School pupil Jessica Baralett, who won a national competition to design a badge as part of WOW â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the year round walk to school campaign in 2017-18. Her design was chosen from thousands of entries and over 500,000 copies of it will be made using recycled yoghurt pots that will be collected by pupils from all over the UK.

History really came to life at Parkgate Primary School when Year 3 pupils made wattle and daub for a Viking round house and weaved willow sticks.

Parkgate children put their effort into sports day races.

Living with Dementia Jackie Campion explains what can be done after a diagnosis of dementia A diagnosis of dementia can come as a shock, it could be any type of dementia, such as Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, vascular dementia or mixed dementia. It is a worrying and upsetting time for the person affected and family. However there is much that can be done in the early stages that can help to make life easier and more enjoyable, both now and in the future. If a person has dementia, it is important that they organise their legal and financial affairs while they are still able to do so. There are a number of things that you can do to plan for your care in the future; l Make sure that your essential documents can be found easily. If your important documents such as Wills or property deeds are stored in a Solicitors or Bank make sure they can be obtained easily. l You can decide if you would like to choose someone to manage your finances on your behalf if you are unable to do so in the future, or make important decisions relating to your health and welfare. l Other things you may wish to think about are putting your finances in order and getting a will, or updating any previous will. This allows you to state who you wish to inherit your estate. l A Living Will can ensure that your wishes are taken into account in the future. We have specialist knowledge in all aspects of legal matters that can affect a person with Dementia.
