Comments Off on ‘One Man, Two Guv’nors’ at the Lowry Theatre
The ‘Evergreen’ (over 60’s) club, formed this year, have reserved matinee seats for ‘One Man, Two Guv’nors’ at the Lowry Theatre in Salford on Thursday January 10th. We have a few seats still available, priced at £23 each and it has been decided to open up the tickets to anyone else who would like to see this comedy drama. We will be travelling to the Lowry by coach which will leave the Community Centre around 12 noon and will cost around £8 per head, payable on the coach.
Precise details will be given later.
The play was a huge hit when it was first played in Salford and subsequently transferred to London where James Corden, in the leading role, won much acclaim. It then went to Broadway where it won several Tony awards.
If you are interested in buying tickets please contact either Penny White on tel:-677879 or myself Jill Baynham-Hughes on tel:- 679204 and we will be happy to give you further details.

Comments Off on Aria: Left Luggage by Geoff Nelder
Geoff Nelder has lived in Lache Hall Crescent for 34 years and for most of that was a teacher at Queen’s Park High. Now he’s an editor and author of several books. His latest is a mix between a medical survival and a science fiction mystery – ARIA: LEFT LUGGAGE. Suppose amnesia was infectious? Thank goodness it isn’t but imagine the ramifications if it was. Geoff did and the personal story of people, the breakdown of society and yet hope for some who coped is in ARIA. Click on this link to Geoff’s blog, which has details including Amazon e-book and paperback.http://bit.ly/OvYGQv
ARIA is also on sale in Chester’s Bluecoat Books 1, City Wall, and Waterstones will order it if it has gone from their shelves.
Also out in 2012 is the ebook HOW TO WIN SHORT STORY COMPETITIONS. Co-authored by Geoff (he was the fiction judge for the Whittaker Prize) in a dialogue form with judge Dave Haslett at

For something completely different try HOT AIR, an award-winning thriller based in England and the Mediterranean. A feisty woman witnesses a heinous crime from a hot air balloon. She’s abducted and kept in a watchtower on Mallorca until she escapes. A page turner on your Kindle at

Comments Off on Apple Pressing Saturday 27th October 9am-2pm outside Al Dente Deli
Bring your apples to our local shops on Saturday 27th October 9am-2pm for pressing into delicious juice! Chopping tables will be available, but please chop at home first to avoid the queue, and don’t forget to bring your containers for the juice!
Last year, as part of a programme of public apple pressings at local shopping centres, Transition Chester organised a session in Westminster Park where residents were invited to bring along their apples and make juice out of them using the apple press and crusher.
The event was very popular and many residents brought along their apples to the event and happily produced delicious juice which they took away. The event prompted interest from passers by, who were curious about what was happening and provided an opportunity to talk about healthy juice, cider making and the fact that good food was available locally for not very much money or free!
This year, with the apple press and crusher on loan to the Westminster Park Residents Association, we will run the event once again and hope to repeat the success of last year. See you on October 27th with your chopped apples!
