TrADITION IskePT AlIVeIT’s safe to say that the Tarporley Carnival was a resounding success with over 2,000 people attending on the day. The parade looked amazing and particular congratulations go to the Tarporley Ce Primary school who scooped fi rst prize for their bugsy malone-type display. We’ve got six pages of pictures from the day itself for you to keep hold of.

Congratulations also to Dan edwards who won the british superkart Grand Prix event at Cadwell Park which gives him a great chance of winning a national title.

In this month’s edition there’s also stories about a golfer who completed four rounds in a day for charity and a new horse named after Peckforton Castle as well as the normal popular features including parish council news, gardening, a recipe, what’s on guide and village index.

As usual, please support your local businesses and don’t forget to tell them that you saw their ad in The Talk

IN THe NeWs

Chocolate dream: Tarporley C of E Primary School PTA organised a fabulous Wonka Ball last month. Guests were invited to the exclusive event by Willy Wonka himself via a golden ticket! The ball took place in the Castle Suite at the Macdonald Portal Hotel Golf and Spa which was adorned with colourful candies. The themed event included excentrically named tables such as ‘Hair Toffee’ which had exotic fl ower centre pieces and were scattered with sweets. After dinner guests enjoyed live music from Jacob’s Ladder and a raffl e that included the prize of a visit to Tarporley’s real life chocolate factory - The Old Fire Station Chocolate shop to see how they make their chocolates. A highlight of the evening was when staff wheeled out the scrumptious chocolate fountain with a host of tit bits to dip into it and enjoy. When it was all over the guests were left wondering had it all been a fantastic dream........or was that really a glass elevator?

Tarporley Talk August 2009 41

THERE was a fantastic turnout for the Tarporley Carnival last month.The annual event

attracted 2,000 people who lined the route through the town centre and then onto the community centre field for the fair.The parade was

amazing, with the likes of the fire brigade, girl Guides, Tarporley Done Pre-School, Tarporley Primary, high school cheerleaders, karting club and Army cadets on the march.The Primary School entry made one of the biggest splashes when around 50 members of

the mafia ambushed head teacher Richard Coates with water machine guns!!The arena was filled for the afternoon with performances from the silver band, Highland

Pipers, Dog Display team and local Cheer leaders. The final popular event was a series of mini athletic events for the children who had either been in the parade of simply attended.There were over 20 stalls, from a variety of local causes, charities and churches as well as

a number of clubs and commercial organisations selling their products or advertising their services. The newly formed Tarporley Business Alliance were there recruiting members, and also donating a number of prizes to a bumper raffle.Tarporley Carnival day is a tradition kept alive by the efforts of the Rotary and Round Table

Clubs, organised by a committee throughout the year of build up. Any members of Tarporley community who are interested in helping to make future carnivals a success are invited to make contact with this year’s chairman Tony Yeates 01829 730136.

Richard Sutton, area chairman for the Rotary Club, presented Tarporley Primary School with their certificate for the best parade group.

COMPLETING 18 holes of golf can be quite arduous at times as it can mean a walk of over fi ve miles.So for Chris Barker to complete four

rounds in one day it was especially tough.But eight handicapper Chris did it for

a good cause and raised hundreds of pounds for Claire House Children’s Hospice.Chris and his colleague Daniel Frost,

who work for Collingwood Search and Selection, at the New Portal Business Park, undertook their golfi ng marathon last month.They began their odyssey at the Portal

Hotel Championship Course in Tarporley where they completed the fi rst two rounds, before moving on to Eaton Golf Club in Waverton for the fi nal two rounds.Pictured: Chris Barker, Daniel Frost, Abi Smith, from Claire House Hospice, and Bill Tye, the professional at Eaton Golf Club

PECKFORTON Castle is hoping to become an odds on favourite this summer … at race courses around the country! For the recently crowned ‘Small hotel of the

Year’ near Tarporley, is now the proud owner of a two-year-old racehorse aptly named ‘Peckforton Castle’. And the gelding took his first look around

his ancestral home with a walk through the castle’s grounds. The Naylor family, who own the castle,

turned to nearby Rob Lloyd Racing Stables when they decided to buy the horse. As two of the largest local employers it

was a natural partnership which they hope to turn into a winning one when the horse earns his racing stripes later this year. Chris Naylor, who is chairman of Peckforton

Castle Hotel, is delighted to welcome the horse to his hotel which was recently awarded a zoo licence and is also home to an exotic collection of birds of prey and peacocks. He said: “I am delighted to own this

magnificent horse and very grateful for all the advice and guidance that Rob Lloyd has given me. He has helped us achieve our dream of owning the perfect racehorse and hopefully the horse will attain the same level of success as the original Peckforton Castle has done!” The horse will be stabled and trained at

Rob Lloyd Stables and hopefully groomed for racing stardom. It was purchased from the world-famous Tattersalls bloodstock auctioneers at Newmarket, its training has already started and it is expected to start racing in August. Peckforton Castle will be trained by talented

trainer, Pat Morris who, prior to becoming a trainer, had a successful career as a jockey during which time he rode around 50 winners for the racing yards of Alan Jarvis, Willie Mullins and several other well known and respected racing yards.

From left: Tony Naylor, Peckforton Castle and Jockey, Pat Morris and Chris Naylor.

Peckforton Castle is a racing certainty!

Q. I am very fair skinned and I am going on holiday to a hot country. I always burn, so should I have some sunbed sessions before I go to protect my skin?A. I would never advocate the use of sunbeds. A suntan is the skins response to exposure to harmful radiation in order to protect itself. In short, a tanned skin is a damaged skin. If you are very fair skinned take sensible precautions – apply a very high factor sunblock at regular intervals, stay out of the sun during the hottest hours and wear a hat. If you want to go brown – fake it with a self-tan product. Either build up the fake tan gradually with a product applied daily or visit a professional therapist for fake tan treatment. Don’t forget that fake tan is purely cosmetic and will not protect your skin from the sun.

Q. I have small unsightly red veins on my cheeks, how can I remove them?A. These small red veins are often called ‘thread veins’ or ‘dilated capillaries’ and the ones that have a centre with ‘legs’ radiating out from the centre are called ‘spider naevi’ due to the fact they look like little red spiders! There are a variety of solutions to your problem. Masking them with a remedial camoufl age cream or green tinted concealer may be suitable. If this is not acceptable they can be successfully removed with either laser or short wave diathermy, which is also often called advanced electrolysis. Not everyone is suitable for these treatments so ensure that your qualifi ed therapist gives you a consultation prior to treatment. Prevention is always better than cure with most skin problems so ask your therapist about measures you can take to reduce the likelihood of the formation of further red veins.

AUGUsT IN YOUr GArDeNGardening by Janet Heath

AUGUST can be a dull month in the garden as the spring and early summer fl owering shrubs and perennials are over and tree foliage can look a bit tired. With a bit of planning, you can have colour in the garden if you concentrate on fl owering

perennials and some shrubs. Flowering shrubs include such favourites as hydrangeas, Hypericum Hidcote with its shiny buttercup yellow fl owers, Lavatera, which fl owers for weeks in shades of white and pink and Buddleia, try the variety Black Knight with its deep purple fl owers.If you go for fl owers, there are many perennials that will reliably fl ower every year especially if

you have a sunny border. Campanula lactifl ora is tall with clusters of bell fl owers in white or pink. For something different and if you have slightly damp soil, consider Inula hookeri which will give you large, yellow delicately fringed daisy fl owers about 75cm (30ins) tall in July and August. Pair it with scarlet or deep pink Dahlias for a bright show of summer colour. Gypsophila or Baby’s Breath is an old cottage garden favourite with tiny button white fl owers on tall stems (75cm (30ins) which will give you an airy cloud of white. In the vegetable garden you should keep your, salads, tomatoes, beans and courgettes watered.

If you pick them regularly, they will continue to produce. Beans and peas will tend to stop producing if pods are allowed to mature. Late salads and radishes can be sown for cropping in autumn. Try some of the salad leaves for winter such as Land Cress which is similar in fl avour to watercress but easier to grow in fertile soil that does not dry out. Spinach can also be sown for winter and spring cropping again in rich fertile soil. August is a good time to clip hedges for the last time in the year. Lavender can also be clipped

back after fl owering for bushy growth next year. Remember not to cut back into wood where there is no green growth, as this will kill the plant. Lawns may well be looking tired after long dry spells but they will come back again after early

autumn rains. Rather than waste water on the lawn, just accept the situation!Janet Heath – The Garden Mentor Tel 01244 318258 [email protected]

TATTeNHAll COmmUNITY AssOCIATION

SINCE the Barbour Institute in Tattenhall is being used so much more now, we need some valuable help for our caretaker, who does a sterling job of looking after all the user groups and meetings, as well as the building itself. We are looking for someone who can step in on the odd occasions when it is extremely busy or to cover holidays. The work would include setting up for groups and clearing away mainly. If you could spare a bit of your time occasionally get in touch with Hilary as soon as possible. We are currently working on getting some computer courses as well as other courses

set up - these could be for all levels and abilities. In order to do this we have to show there is a need and provide fi gures showing how many people are interested in doing various courses. We are, therefore, compiling a list of people’s names & phone numbers and what their interest/s would be, as well as what level they are at (ie; beginner, intermediate etc). This could possibly help us obtain funding towards the necessary equipment & tutors. If you are interested in pursuing any educational course or hobby please could you telephone or preferably email Hilary (see below) with your name, phone number and suggested course/hobby information (also stating what level you are at). Contact Hilary Scarratt Tel: 01829 770516 or email: [email protected] We are still asking for anyone interested in learning French or Greek here at the Barbour

Institute to register their interest. Classes will be at both beginners and intermediate level. Whether these classes run will depend on the level of interest expressed, so if you are interested please do contact the tutor Chris to let him know. You can call him on; 07803 584 705 or email; [email protected]

A ROADSIDE cafe that has lain empty for years on one of Cheshire’s main routes is to become a new bookstore, thanks to the hard work and entrepreneurial spirit of book-lover David McPhie.Bookstore at Oakmere is

creating 10 new jobs and will open in early August occupying the 3,400 sq ft of the former Little Chef premises on the A556 at Oakmere, just a mile west of the crossroads with the A49 at Sandiway. It will be offering discounts on a range of books in almost every category from fi ction, biographies, cookery and children’s books to a more diverse range of titles including transport, history, nature, archaeology, philosophy, the arts and science.

The venture is the vision of David McPhie whose philosophy is to offer huge discounts with 95% of the books stocked at

half-price or in most cases even less. Says David, “I believe that

Bookstore at Oakmere will be an asset to the local community within mid and West Cheshire, and become a tourist attraction in its own right alongside the many other venues already enhancing the Delamere Forest area.”He added: “In these tough

economic times that we fi nd ourselves in, it is crucial for businesses with something in common to work in partnership with each other to offer the customer something extra. This is what Bookstore at Oakmere is all about.”

Crimestoppers is unique. Founded nationally in 1988, it

is the only UK independent Charity working to help solve crimes. Cheshire Crimestoppers, a regional Board promoting the Crimestoppers message in your area, was established in 1998. our Board comprises volunteers drawn from across Cheshire east, Cheshiire West, Halton and Warrington.increasingly, witnesses to

crime, and those who know who may have committed a crime, are reluctant to go directly to the police, or to give evidence in court. We allow you to avoid both by anonymously contacting a dedicated national call number, 0800 555 111, with information about crime, at any time, 365 days of the year. Callers are not asked for

their name, or for any other means of identification. A caller’s number can not be traced and does not appear on itemised telephone statements. We pass information to the police but are not part of them

and no policeman will ever know who has called us. in some cases, a successful prosecution may result in the informant being eligible for a cash reward. You may also contact

us by e-mail through the national website www.crimestoppers-uk.org where a fully encrypted system protects your anonymity. the site also provides more information about the work of Cheshire Crimestoppers and about the fight against crime at a national levelWe are currently

involved in a variety of campaigns including combating drug crime, gun and knife crime, domestic violence, hospital theft, business crime and arson. We are also keenly aware of the important role we can play in encouraging people in villages and suburbs to identify those responsible for local crime.

Cheshire has been consistently amongst the top performing Crimestoppers regions. During 2008 we exceeded all previous performance in calls. this led to 221 arrests and to the recovery of stolen goods and confiscation of drugs to a value of £722,000. please keep our number
