150th celebrations at historic old station FRIENDS of Hadlow Road Station (FHRS) are holding a commemorative event on Saturday 1st October to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the opening of the old railway station in Willaston. The event, which takes place from 2-5pm, includes the unveiling of a commemorative plaque, entertainment from the City of Chester Brass Band, Hadlow Green Singers, Mersey Morris Men, Simon “The Barber”, traction engine rides for children, bouncy castle, games and Travellers from the Past (courtesy of Neston High School). As part of the plans, the committee applied for a grant in order to mark the significant event appropriately. Jed Weeden, from the FRHS, said: “The Lottery award will support a number of the activities that will be provided on the afternoon. Some of the funding will also support the longer term ambitions including; events equipment, display banners, a screen providing information about the history of the Station, future events as well as videos of past events. “The volunteers will be regularly working at the Station to prepare for the event and the recently refurbished kitchen will be used on the day to support the catering planned for this event. Much work is still required to ensure that the kitchen is prepared and ready to support regular weekend openings to the public.” l The Birkenhead Railway opened a branch line from Hooton to Parkgate on 1st October 1866, which included the station at Willaston. The station closed to passengers in September 1956, although the track continued to be used for freight transportation and driver training for another six years, closing in May 1962. The route became the Wirral Way footpath and part of Wirral Country Park in 1973,

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!

Kieran takes the plunge
Corporal Kieran Eeles, from Neston Air Cadets, attended a basic Parachute Jump Training camp, at RAF Weston on the Green. This consisted of six hours of ground training in the various training facilities, covering the basics from control of the parachute, to emergency drills. After completing his six hours of training, he was given clearance to perform his first solo static line jump. He had roughly three minutes of fall time from 3,500ft, consisting of various legs in various directions to increase and decrease his speed, depending which way he faced into the wind. While on the camp he also got the chance of some gliding at RAF Halton with the instructors running through a series of flight demonstrations and exercises including rudder, aileron and pitch control, demonstrating the manoeuvre, and then he got the chance to take control of the aircraft and performe the exercise as instructed. He also got the chance to take part in an adventure training activity undertaking a water sports session at FDTC (Force Development Training Centre) Danesfield . This consisted of the RAF adventurous training swimming tests which must be undertook by all personnel wishing to undertake waterborne activities within the RAF. During the session they played several games and also went on a small 50-minute river trip up and down the Thames. Cpl Eeles said “ I would have to say this was the best thing I have ever done in my entire life.” l Neston’s Harry Astbury joined other air cadets from Merseyside Wing at RAF Leeming for the Annual Summer Camp. While there, he visited the Yorkshire Air Museum and got the opportunity to visit 100 Squadron, where the typhoon jet pilots practice their dog-fighting against Hawk trainers. Another visit was to Eden Camp Museum and then onto Scarborough where they enjoyed an afternoon on the beach.
Nathan’s a space cadet!
August saw Neston air cadet Corporal Nathan Fields attend the 75th Anniversary National Aero Space Camp, which catered for 200 cadets. Throughout this camp Nathan took part in an engineering course, in which he took apart and assembled a land rover engine, and lock wired different aircraft parts. He also got to take part in a Drones course, in which he was taught safety and the legal rights about drones, as well as being able to fly them around an obstacle course. He also took part in an Aviation master class where they were given the scenario of a humanitarian mission and had to extract 100 people, with only had two aircraft which had to refuel each other on the way and carry spare parts as well as having to plan the most efficient route. 12 To advertise call 01244 350398

Trio join town council FOLLOWING recent resignations, Neston Town Council saw its full complement restored with the co-option of Dominic Roberts for Parkgate and Jean Clayton for Riverside ward. At its previous meeting the casual vacancy for Neston ward was filled by Angus Montgomery. Cllr Montgomery, keen to take on his new role said “My father was a councillor in Surrey for 25 years and I learned all about council procedures from him” Cllr Roberts, a Neston resident for seven years and a keen runner and dog walker said: “My motivation for wanting to be a member of the council is to play my part in the promotion of Neston and Parkgate. I don’t have any direct council experience, but I do have marketing and analytical skills and I would bring some new ideas and perspectives.” Mrs Clayton was a committee member of the Neston Female Society for over 18 years until recently. Town Mayor Cllr Mike Shipman said he welcomed the new councillors and looked forward to the contributions they would make.

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?

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.

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.

LEGAL MATTERS Legal Column with Jackie Campion, Principal Solicitor at Campion Solicitors
WILL IT AFFECT YOU? FOLLOWING the decision back in June for the UK to leave the European Union, the political landscape may have dramatically changed and placed us into a period of uncertainty, but perhaps this provides the perfect chance for you to assess your own legal position in order to provide a level of certainty over your future and that of those around you. HOUSING
WILLS
The current property market can be confusing with a variety of legal obstacles. If you are looking at purchasing or selling a property at this time but feel unsure as to how to proceed, feel free to drop in to our offices for a no obligation appointment and we’ll guide you through this legal process professionally and efficiently while also offering a friendly service.
With many of our politicians unable to affect the outcome of the recent referendum, perhaps it’s time that you take control of your legal affairs in order to decide how you wish your property to be handled in the event of your death.
POWER OF ATTORNEY During this period of economic uncertainty, it also makes sense to try and establish some form of certainty in your personal affairs. A Lasting Power of Attorney should be considered. This enables you to appoint Attorneys to look after your Financial affairs or Personal Health and Welfare. Through a power of attorney, those closest to you are able to organise your financial and health needs at a time when it can be crucial.
Without a valid will, your property may end up in the hands of those you never intended it to fall to, passing through intestacy and potentially being dealt with contrary to your wishes. Therefore, it is of paramount importance that you execute a valid will that clearly disposes of your assets to those most important to you. Don’t let uncertainty control what matters most to you, organise your legal affairs by ringing to book a no obligation appointment with Campion solicitors on 0151 342 9021
For further information please contact Jackie Campion on 0151 342 9021, email sophie@campionsolicitors.co.uk or ingrid@campionsolicitors.co.uk for a no obligation quote.

HEALTH AND FITNESS BLOG
WHICH EXERCISE CLASS IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Zumba, Zumba Toning, Body blast, Circuits, Dance fit the list goes on with so many different classes to choose from its important you pick the right class for you and what you’re trying to achieve.
So for improvement in muscle tone classes such as body pump, legs bums and tums, core, ab blast are always a safe option. They tend to use weights or body weight to help tone and sculpt your problem areas. These classes are good but more beneficial if you mix with some cardio as everyone has a 6 pack but if it’s under a layer of fat it can’t be seen! Cardio classes, these classes aim to improve your general fitness. By pumping the blood around the body, and placing stress on the cardiorespiratory system. They can help prevent high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, obesity, stress, and some types of cancers. So incorporating some form of this within your chosen fitness plan is a no brain brainer. Classes that incorporate this are Boogie Bounce Extreme (the new fitness craze of trampoline!) running clubs, spinning, aerobics, Zumba and other dance like classes. Low impact classes have their benefits as well as disadvantages but have probably been recommended to you after an injury, physio or ongoing joint problems. The benefits of these classes are they stop extra wear and tear on your joints whilst providing a safe and easier environment for you to work in, preventing you from aggravating injuries further. The disadvantages of these classes are you often have to work twice as long to obtain some of the benefits of a higher intensity class. Meaning if weight loss is your goal, you will need to set aside longer and more regular work outs to get results. Often these classes take a lot longer to increase muscle mass too. We know that less muscle means poorer posture, it lowers your
metabolism, weak or no muscle leads to more injuries, feeling more fatigued and response times can be affected. Relaxation or stretching classes ie; yoga, pilates, stretch and tone, Bikram yoga. These are perfect at the end of a stressful week! These classes aim to decrease stress, increase flexibility, increase muscle tone improve posture. The disadvantages of these classes are there is limited cardio improvements and although you may tone, building muscle without lifting weights is a long process. Opt for this based a more of a relaxation basis. So whichever class you choose ensure that it suits your goal. Choosing the gym yourself is another option, but beware of not pushing yourself enough, choosing only the machines you enjoy and not performing the exercises correctly. Getting a few sessions with a personal trainer is always a good way to check your form and make sure you ‘re doing the most effective work out in the shortest amount of time. Contact me for class enquiries or to discuss what classes might suit you and what you want to achieve.
