Business students taste success GCSE Business Students from Neston High bowled judges over at the Manchester Airport Dragons’ Den. Over 25 schools across the North West participated, with Neston High winning £100 for their charitable enterprise ‘Chocs Away’ whose profits are being donated to Hope House Hospice. Run by George Palin (Managing Director), James Hemingway (Marketing Director), Caitlin Jones (Financial Director) and Sam Brooks (Production Director) the company specialises in producing and selling novelty confectionery products. The five Dragons confessed to being “blown away” by the team’s quirky popcorn surprise, called ‘Cloudbusters’ enthusiastically devouring

the addictively delicious contents! The Dragons were very impressed indeed by the professionally delivered presentation and the confidence of the team in answering in-depth questions relating to marketing and profit margins. The next stage of the competition involves a selling opportunity in Terminal 1 of Manchester Airport, with the final awards event being held in December. We all wish Chocs Away every success in their enterprise. If you think you can help our team to maximise sales opportunities, or if you can offer sponsorship of some kind, please email Neston High at admin@ nestonhigh.cheshire.sch.uk

Air cadets prove they are Air Cadets from 2375 (Neston) Squadron, Air Cadets, proved yet again that they are a team to be watched when it comes to the pool. In a recent Inter-Squadron Swimming competition, held at Europa Swimming Baths, Birkenhead, they took to the water against 29 other squadrons from Merseyside. Twelve cadets made up the Neston squad, and, by the end of the day, they had 13 gold medals, 6 silvers and two trophies. They took the Senior Girls Trophy and Senior Boys Trophy. Well done everyone, and, good luck to the five cadets that go forward to represent Merseyside in the up and coming Inter-Wing Swimming competition.

Squadron leaders! Neston air cadets were nominated to represent Wales & West in the Lees Trophy. This is presented to the squadron which is deemed to be the best in the country. There are over 900 squadrons in the UK, and 2375 (Neston) Squadron came in the top six, no mean feat. Air Commodore McCafferty visited the squadron, and the cadets put on a full parade. This was made possible through the hard work and dedication of the cadets, but, also through the help of Warrant Officer (ATC) Evans, who gave up his time, sometimes missing his own squadronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parade, to ensure the cadets put on the best show possible. In recognition of his work, Flt Lt Paul Thelwell presented WO Evans with a glass award to say thank you, on behalf of the staff and cadets of 2375 (Neston) Squadron.

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!

Neston Riverside WI We met on Wednesday 17th September for a very interesting talk by Zeta Emmett from Willaston Hey WI on Fairtrade and how to support farmers and workers in less well developed countries. By buying Fairtrade goods we are enabling them to have decent working conditions and fair terms of trade. Look out for the Fairtrade logo. Zeta then gave a demonstration of how to create useful things out of recycled objects, for example, strong bags that hold pet food - recycled into hardwearing shopping bags. We also had a table full of homebaked goodies as members responded to the request to display their baking skills in the “Great Neston Bake-off.”

A big party is being planned to celebrate the 100th birthday of lifelong Neston resident Stella Casson. Mrs Casson, who lives in The Quillet, will reach the milestone on 31st October. Born in Neston, Mrs Casson has lived and worked here all of her life. She was a nurse and worked in the cottage hospitals in Little Neston and Heswall. However, the majority of her working life was spent at Clatterbridge Hospital and her final stint was at the surgery at Shotton Steelworks. A centenary party will take place at her daughter Ann Marie Millarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in Ness where she will be joined by family and friends and hopefully receive a telegram from Her Majesty!

St Winefride’s harvest helps those closer to home

Design Supply Installation St. Winefride’s Catholic Primary School held its annual Harvest Festival Mass recently. The children led the celebration of this special time of the year with readings, prayers and great singing. This year, instead of raising money for international charities, the children decided to help people closer to home. They were invited to come into school on that day in their ‘own clothes’, and in return they were asked to bring in tinned, packet or dried food, which was to be donated St. Winefride’s Parish to be sent to the West Cheshire Foodbank. The children brought in a fantastic amount of food, which will be used to help local people who would otherwise go hungry because they cannot afford food. By donating so much food, the parents and children have helped the foodbank provide three days of nutritionally balanced food to local people in crisis.

Thursday 6th November Burton Manor Gardens a talk by Elizabeth Davey, entitled: Edward Kemp – A Victorian Landscape Gardener, 7:15pm - 9pm. Thomas Mawson, who laid out Burton Manor Gardens, wrote in his autobiography that he regarded Edward Kemp (1817 – 1891) as ‘the best exponent of the landscape style’. This talk will explore the life of Kemp, Park Superintendent of Birkenhead for nearly 50 years and the designer of both Anfield and Flaybrick Cemetries and of numerous parks and gardens on Merseyside and beyond. We will look at the life of Kemp who, before coming to the Wirral in 1843, trained at the Horticultural Society Gardens in Chiswick and under Joseph Paxton, at Chatsworth. We will take an ‘armchair tour’ of some of Kemp’s creations, including Grosvenor Park, Chester, planned by him 150 years ago this year. Full Fee: £10 (£7.50 for volunteers or members of Friends of Burton Manor Gardens) Includes Cheese and Wine after the presentation..
