Northwich Welsh Society
Posted by Trinity Mirror Cheshire on March 6, 2009 8:06 AM
For the first time in over a decade, members celebrated St David's Day outside the town. This year at the Masonic Hall, Middlewich, even though many members were in France for the rugby international game, there was a good attendance for the traditional leek soup and lamb lunch.
Before the meal, members stood for two minutes silence to remember the late Eileen Owen, Rudheath who did so much for the Society during the lean years in the 80s.
Bilingual grace was said by Joan Lewis of Castle.
Chairman Anthony Masson, Knutsford gave the toast to St David and referred to his many achievements. Of Great Britain's national patron saints, David is the only indigenous one.
The toast to the Society was given by vice chairman Gwili Lewis who touched on past highlights, and his vision of major future activities.

Good attendances at meetings have given the New Year's programme of activities an encouraging start.
In January even though the scheduled speaker was in hospital, members had an enjoyable evening when each person had to draw a topic from a hat, and speak on that theme. It was nostalgic for many, shades of the old penny readings which were popular in chapel youth clubs years ago. It was also a way of encouraging people to speak before an audience. The topics were varied and members of the Society were invited to make comments after each speaker. Subjects included:- If I was President of the USA; The book I'm reading; my hobby; If I was the Prime Minister; My town; When I was a child.. etc.

The club is currently celebrating after 17 of 21 Gymnasts won medals in a competition on Sunday 7th December at Holmes Chapel. The club entered 21 Gymnasts from ages 6 to 14. Competitors who did not gain a medal gave their best performance and made Weaverham Community Centre Committee proud.
An elated Club spokesman Jim Stelfox said:
The club enters the Hartford sets competition every year but this is the most we have won, it's all down to the hard work of our gymnasts and coaches. We have increased the numbers of coaches recently, their hard work is beginning to show in the performances achieved.

A Weaverham Special - Past Rose Fetes
Posted by Weaverham Community Website on March 24, 2008 10:59 AM
Thought I’d put this special in as a supporter of the Cheshire Rose Fetes. Read with dismay some time back that despite surviving for 75 years they may very well not continue through lack of support and expertise!
The Weaverham Rose Fete in the 50’s was an amazing event. It was a bit like Christmas in June/July. Here in Western Australia we actually do celebrate ‘Christmas in July’. July is in the middle of winter, and pretty cold. So some of us crazy gals and guys, take off for weekends and hols in the south of the state, which is the coldest part and celebrate ‘Christmas in July’, with real Christmas food, cards and celebrations!
Weaverham in the 50’s was pretty quiet and the two main exciting times were the summer rose fete and Christmas. The rose fete of course attracted the traveling fair, and that was a week or two of excitement and ‘the big night out syndrome’! Whether it rained or shone, it didn’t matter. The fair ground was a honey pot to the ‘bees’ of Weaverham. We strutted are thing and met the girls for a fling. I managed to catch the last night of the Weaverham fair in July ’99. It was much smaller than I remembered and one of the stall holders confirmed the fact. The fair ground seemed to be loosing its’ appeal to modern entertainment and technology.
In the 50’s the Weaverham fair took up the whole field practically and had every imaginable event. Dodgem cars, boxing rings where you could fight the resident boxer and win a quid or two. Ferris wheels, merry go rounds, hot dog stands etc etc. For us it was magic and we felt like kings for the night. I remember we all got dressed up in our best jeans, shirts and for some of us cravats and kept trying to bump into as many girls as we could and dare them to try the more dangerous rides.
In ’99 on my return after 37 years away we turned out for the Davenham Rose Fete. A much smaller place and event than the Weaverham one. So come on don’t ‘throw the baby out with the bath water’. We can enjoy the new technologies like the internet but let’s retain some of the old world charm as well and support the revival of the Cheshire Rose Fetes’. It doesn’t after all have to be exactly as it was in the 50’s. What about a ‘new age’ rose fete with modern themes and space –aged displays. Remember ‘achievement is only limited by a lack of imagination’
Past, Present and Future
Posted by Weaverham Community Website on March 2, 2008 10:24 AM
Some weekends – usually Saturdays we would get farm jobs – other Saturdays none. I think we used to earn a pound for a full day, which was great in 1955. The work could be anything on the farm. I remember quiet distinctly cleaning out chicken coups and then creosoting them inside and out to prevent diseases attacking the chicken, general painting and herding the remaining two cows in for milking at the end of the day. I don’t think we ever aspired to actually milking the cows. But I do remember having to assist the farmer to tie down the legs of a rather belligerent cow before milking. There were usually two of us teenagers who worked on a Saturday. The hard working lads stuck it out long term, the rest gave it away! But I suppose in those days you could say it was a good spirited public gesture on the part of the farmer to give young teenagers a leg up so to speak. Looking back the transition from city life to rural life had seemed easy. But I had had a trial run so to speak. I had an elderly cousin and her husband who had also moved from Liverpool a year or eighteen months early then we. I had had the privilege of spending school holidays with them and using Uncle Bob’s bike to explore Weaverham. Once we moved I was already on familiar ground.

Cheshire Memories
Imagine Weaverham if you can in the mid 50’s. A sleepy Cheshire village with add-on old and new housing estates belonging to that big chemical factory spouting smoke all day called ICI. For a young 12 year old straight from the back streets of Liverpool this was paradise. Plenty of fresh air (when the ICI smoke was blowing in the right direction) green fields and laid back country folk!

Posted by Trinity Mirror Cheshire on January 23, 2008 8:55 AM
Our aim is to encourage the public serivce users and carers to participate in consultations and public engagement exercises on a variety of issues surrounding our Health and Social Care in Cheshire. We wholly believe that the people of Cheshire are the key to deciding what health and social care services are needed and how these should best be delivered. It is therefore essential that the public are given a say, and most importantly, heard, at every stage of the design, commissioning and delivery process. This allows the public bodies delivering our Health and Social Care services to make better-informed decisions and therefore improve the quality and delivery of these services.
