Remembering the Great War An exhibition is taking place at Neston Library, telling the stories of the people from Neston and surrounding villages during the Great War. ‘Neston and Villages Remember 1914-18’ is part of the Cheshire Great War Stories project. It has been supported locally by Burton and Neston History Society, local Cheshire West and Chester Councillor Andy Williams, Neston Library, Neston Town Council and Cheshire Archives and Local Studies. Volunteers from the history society have uncovered a wealth of information about local people and everyday life during this time as well as details of the local hospitals for wounded troops and the existence of a small scale munitions factory. The exhibition, which is open until December, will commemorate those local men who were killed or injured during World War l. The library would also like to see any mementoes or information of life during that time, particularly of relatives left behind at home. Cllr Williams gave a donation towards the cost of the exhibition from his Member Budget. He said: “Once again the people of Neston, along with the library, have put together an interesting and poignant exhibition - this time commemorating our local heroes and the sacrifices made by the people of Neston during the First World War. “I am proud to have been a part of supporting this excellent insight into Neston’s rich history.” Edward Hilditch, Chairman of Burton and Neston History Society, Councillor Andy Williams, Mayor of Neston Councillor Janet Griffiths and Susannah Hill, Librarian

New project seeks ‘a A new project, Neston Angels, is looking for civic-minded volunteers to support older people who live alone in Neston and the surrounding villages. It matches volunteers with older people to give a little extra help in their own home, and has already signed up a number of elderly residents who enjoy their independence but would like some support. Now it urgently needs volunteers who can give a few hours of their time to make visits and help with things like reading letters, shopping, assisting with getting to appointments or just sharing a coffee and a chat. Neston Angels is led by Community Activities in Neston, with support from Snow Angels CIC which has set up similar successful schemes in Ashton Hayes, Winsford and Ellesmere Port. CAN Project Manager, Eileen Miller says, “Older people we’ve been meeting to sign up

for the scheme have a whole range of things they need help with, and while we’re not taking the place of statutory services, volunteers can help in little ways that mean a lot to someone living alone. It’s a very rewarding project for everyone involved.” Anyone of any age can sign up as a Neston Angel, and can offer as much time as they want. No experience is needed, as full training will be given, and volunteers will be matched up carefully to residents.

NO PRESSURE Angels can help out regularly, giving a few hours a week, or they can volunteer to be on hand just for emergencies, such as when cold weather hits. Under16s will act as helpers to adult Angels, and over 16s can visit older people on their own and count their hours towards their Duke of Edinburgh or National Citizenship Service.

angels’ in Neston! Newest Snow Angel recruit, Leslie Highton, has been volunteering for over a month and says, “I was keen to get involved because even a little help to an older person can make a huge difference to them. Just a half hour chat can break up a monotonous day for both sides! The nice thing about being a Neston Angel is that there’s no pressure, I fit visits round my work, and if I can’t work one week it’s no problem.” Neston Angels is working in partnership with many local organisations including Age UK, Plus Dane and Live at Home, and will refer on to bring in extra support where needed. To find out more about Neston Angels, contact CAN Group on 0151 353 8638 or email them at cangroup@tiscali.co.uk

Neston Riverside WI

Many thanks are due to Ed Hilditch for stepping into the breech when the speaker who had been booked for the meeting was taken ill and had to pull out at the last minute. Ed bravely agreed to fill the gap with a talk on “The History of Ness Gardens.” Thanks are also due to Gill Hilditch for volunteering her husband when she realised it was too late to book another speaker. The result couldn’t have been better! Ed Hilditch presented a superb talk backed up by his own very interesting photographs. You could have heard a pin drop as Ed took everyone back in time to when the land for Ness Gardens was first bought. Ed is a fabulous historian and finished his fascinating talk leaving his audience wanting more! The business part of the evening was led by Val Fisher from Willaston Hey WI who had attended the AGM in June and informed the members that the resolution on Organ Donation had been carried forward. There is a huge shortage of organs for transplant and the resolution urges members to inform their next of kin if they wish to allow their organs to be donated.

September’s meeting was a lively affair with much laughter and some disbelief at the magic tricks performed by Peter Turner. Peter explained the psychological manipulation of misdirection, deception and perception that magicians and illusionists use to practise their art, but we were still enthralled by the disappearance and reappearance of objects before our very eyes ! At Gladstone Hall, Burton, Lowri Williams entertained members and friends with Wartime Tales and a nostalgic sin-a-long. ‘Tracey’ from Neston provided a delicious buffet. Local historian Ian Norris led members on a tour of Burton Village and Church where learnt about the Congreve family who built Burton Manor, and the kindly Bishop Wilson who founded a school for local children in 1742. Later in the month we saw a window dedicated to Bishop Wilson at Chester Cathedral. Although many of us have visited the Cathedral previously, it was decidedly more interesting this time with a professional guide. In the autumn we have plans to visit Kri-Kri restaurant, Speke Hall, theatre visits, walks and enjoy beauty treatments -ready for the Christmas season. Meetings take place at St. Michaels Church, Marshlands Road, Little Neston at 7.30 on the first Tuesday of the month, on 7th October , Brian Halliwell talks about “The Golden Age of Comedy “ .

Photography firm opens Neston office One of the UK’s leading regeneration time-lapse photography specialists is opening an office in Neston. Regenology has taken a 1000sq ft unit on the Clayhill Business Park to complement existing offices in London and Bedford. The company will also create a small number of jobs as part of its North West expansion. The eight-year-old company has its time-lapse cameras situated on some of the biggest regeneration and construction projects in the UK. Managing director Richard Overton said: “We have grown steadily over the past eight years, but we believe now is the right time to take the business to the next level. “More than 90 per cent of our work is regeneration and construction focused and, until now, the vast majority of our clients have been in London and the South. The opening of our North West office will enable us to continue developing some good relationships in the region and allow us to become a genuinely UK-wide business.”

Speedwatch in Burton POLICE have been watching out for speeding motorists in Burton over the last month. According to the Neston police twitter feed: “Glad to say ‘all’ are abiding by the limits! Well done Burton.”

Store supports special needs charity For the last 12 months Sainsbury’s Neston has been raising funds for the Wirral Fund for Children with Special needs. This is a fantastic charity run by a group of volunteers who raise funds to buy specialist equipment for young children and teenagers with special needs. The group did a bag pack in three Wirral stores and staff held raffles, tombola’s and colleague pay Day Cake Sales. Trustees Pamela and Sandra came in to store to collect a cheque for a massive £1,970, presented to them by the Neston

store’s PR Ambassador Louise Irvine along with the Deputy Manager Dave Dudley Smith, colleague Emma Randall and café colleague Helen Doyle Smith. The trustees were delighted with the total and had recently held a meeting to discuss what to spend the money on. All items are requested by a professional working with the family and discussed in detail before approval by the committee. So the committee approved the purchase of a special car seat and escape-proof harness; a special pea pod Beanbag

for an older disabled child; special accessories for buggies such as rain hoods and sunshades. These are necessary for older children with special needs. They are also looking at special outdoor play equipment, adapted tricycles and bicycles are very important to encourage outdoor play and social integration with peers. This year the store will be raising funds for the Joseph Windsor Heart Trust charity which aims to put defibrillators in Neston’s schools and public places.
