Halls Call for New Blood Answered

ORLEY ews

February 2012

6 of the Village Hall committee, from l to r: Rita Boon, Judith Hull, Noreen Ashbrook, Penny Clarke, Gill Cosford, Jon Wild

Several new faces have arrived on the Village Hall Committee following a change in the way it is managed. Norley Village Hall is now part of JNCOT, so the committee was able to invite folk from a wider range of village organizations to revitalise its flagging membership. The School, the Scouts, the playground, churches, bowling club and 0-5year olds playgroup all received this call to arms and after consulting their troops, several community groups took up the offer, swelling the VHC to a much healthier twelve members. It is hoped this influx will ease the burden somewhat on VHC veteran members, who have been battling valiantly to raise money for hall maintenance and repairs. And on Monday 16th January the fresh assault began with a fundraisers brainstorming meeting held in The Tigers Head Pub. Kate Greenhalgh caught up with some old and new VHC members to find out why they joined and what hopes they have for the future of the hall Jon Wild

Chairman and Secretary. Jon said, I believe very much in the Village Hall. I want to see it protected and to see it prosper.

Norley three and a half years and thought I wanted to be a bit more involved and meet people.

Some of the committee members are very good. James Dale

Now a housewife, Joan belongs to the Ladys Fellowship at St Johns Church and helps organise funerals. She is also the leader of the Wednesday Club, which has 45 members over 60 years of age. Joan felt the club should have a representative on the committee but there were no volunteers so she joined. Joan says the hall is a grand place for people to meet and she is happy as long as it is clean, comfortable, tidy and warm. Stephne Douglas
VHC role: Treasurer / 0-5year olds Playgroup Representative When joined: 1 year ago Occupation: Finance Manager Norley resident: 2 years

When the church has held functions the village hall has regularly provided parking space. James believes in the importance of community and describes himself as a hundred percent village man. I would love to help the village in any way I can he said. And he has proved it over and over by cutting the hedges and grass at the village hall up to ten times a year. Referring to the Wednesday Walks, the Wednesday Club and the Horticultural Society, James said there are some wonderful things happening in the village.

I was happy to do it Judith said, explaining that she is keen to see the village hall retained as a community meeting place. Keeping it going is not easy said Judith. But referring to future development proposals she added, Its an exciting time ahead if it all comes off. It is used quite a lot and hopefully it will be used more. Noreen Ashbrook

Save the village hall was Noreens objective when she joined the committee nine years ago. Then the building, which dates back to the 1880s, was under threat of being demolished to make room for a modern replacement. I think it is a very characterful building said Noreen, explaining why she didnt want to see that happen. Since then the former Temperance Halls future has been considered safe then uncertain again several times. Explaining her hopes Noreen said, It would be super to have a modern extension attached to it. I hope they will get a nice new extension and that it will grow and develop for future generations. Marie Cliffe

chair and now I am back to being secretary again! said Penny. I would like to see the current village hall maintained and improved - the original part is a lovely building and rewards TLC. I would also like to see the hall benefiting from a modern extension so that facilities can be improved, Penny added. Gill Cosford VHC role: Norley Primary School representative When joined: 8 years ago Occupation: Primary school teacher, with a specialism in Autistic Spectrum Disorders Norley resident: Since 2001 Gill is currently a Primary school teacher, with a specialism in Autistic Spectrum Disorders. She is preparing to work as school-based advisory teacher for Cheshire West and Chester, as part of the Autism Team. Due to her and her young children's involvement with other local families and groups, when Gill first joined the committee she provided a link between the Village Hall and young Norley Mums, squirrels pre-school and Norley Primary. I was invited to join by my child minder, Judith Hull, who has been heavily involved with community projects and groups over the years, says Gill. I wanted to become involved in something constructive that would help me make a contribution to my local community, as well as develop personal links within Norley. And also it appealed because I work with young children all day and it was an opportunity to interact with a different circle of people,. I would hope that the village hall continues to develop as a centre for all members of the community to meet and enjoy good company and a range of activities and interests. It should continue to be an important focal point for different groups, bringing people together in many ways, Gill said.

Norley Village Halls Swarm of Shimmying Senoritas

Lively ladies packed out Norley Village Halls Zumba class to get fit the funky way on 18th January. The class, which regularly attracts 20 women, saw numbers shoot higher still this week as word spread further of the local lessons. Delighted dance teacher Sara Emma Cole, from Hartford, is now considering starting a second class to meet demand. BY KATE GREENHALGH Sara started running classes in Zumba, the international hit dance and fitness technique at Norley Village Hall in June 2011. The Wednesday evening lessons have been a blessing for Norley women sick of having to drive miles to join a class. Safiya Parker, who goes most weeks said, Because its on your doorstep it gives you that incentive. The convenient pay as you go sessions quickly grew very popular after initially beginning with just 6 women. Its had a brilliant turnout. The ladies love it and its brought the community together, said Sara. Zumba is a latin-inspired intensive work out that combines merengue, salsa, cumbia and reggaeton dance moves. In just one hour it can burn as much as 800 calories, but Sara keeps her sessions down to 45 minutes so they are manageable. She thinks Zumba has caught on because it is social and fun. It sometimes feels like youre on a night out, she said. It targets the whole body. Ive noticed a massive change in my body shape since Ive done it, said Sara. It

sucks in the waist, tones arms and is good for coordination she said. Salsa moves get people up on the balls of their feet, she explained. And squats and funky hip hop style moves are performed to cumbia and reggaeton, music genres from Columbia. Safiya feels the motivational benefit of exercising with a group of local women. They walk to classes together in summer, and take just one car between them in winter. She thinks Saras lighthearted approach strikes the right balance. I think her personality makes a difference, Safiya said. Anybody can do it. She gives you lower levels and higher levels, so people feel encouraged but not selfconscious if they cant keep up with everything. A qualified dance instructor, Sara teaches part-time at a primary school and lectures at Mid-Cheshire College. Prior to taking up teaching, she danced professionally for pop stars including band Eaton Road and the former X Factor contestant Chico who went on to release the single Its Chico Time in 2006 and is now competing on TV show Dancing On Ice. Sara picked up her Zumba teaching qualification at Blackburn Rovers Stadium. She said there are no regulations to stop anyone teaching Zumba after just one day of intensive training. But she believes a formal dance education is the key to running the best Zumba classes. Sara trained at Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, John Moores University and the Hammond in Chester. She was inspired to teach at Norley Village Hall by two Norley women. They went to one of her Zumba classes in

Barnton and enjoyed it, but said the 7 miles travelling would prevent regular attendance. So they asked if Sara would consider running sessions at the hall, which would be more accessible. Teaching at Norley Village Hall gets the thumbs up from Sara too, The hall is a lovely hall and it has a sprung floor so its perfect, she said. Its lovely and clean. Sara plans to keep running the classes in Norley. On top of

working she is studying one night a week, but when that finishes in May she hopes to start a new dance class for children in Norley too. She teaches street dance, break dance, tap, baby ballet and baby bopping basics. To help people stick to their fitness New Years resolutions Sara is drawing a raffle each week and the winner gets the next lesson free. After three weeks youll notice the difference, Safiya said, adding, I would go to another if she put it on twice a week.

Nativity on the Move

As dusk fell on a Sunday before Christmas, Norley village came alive to tell the story of Jesus birth. As a crowd gathered outside the school, singing a carol and listening to a black cloaked Narrator began to tell the tale, the peace was shattered by the arrival of a fierce Roman Soldier. He strode out of the school doors and addressed the crowd, threatening them angrily and sending them off to the place of their birth. Some dissented, but were sent packing anyway.

The crowd dutifully moved off, down to the junction with Maddocks Hill. In the distance, a man and woman could be seen leading a white pony. The woman was tired and the man ushered her towards the only inn in the village. We followed. At The Tigers Head the Innkeeper and his wife argued over whether they had room for the young couple. Eventually space was found for them in an outbuilding and they disappeared around the back of the inn. By now it was dark but we walked on; up Pytchleys Hollow until we could see the flames of a campfire in the distance. At the top of Town Farm Lane the shepherds were gathered. They told a tale of oppression by an evil king and looked forward to the coming of the Messiah who had been promised. From the darkness, Angels appeared and in the words of While Shepherds Watched, they sent the shepherds into Bethlehem, to worship their new born king. In the courtyard of the farm we met the three wise men. They scanned their star charts talked knowledgeably about the baby king and then went on their way, keen to find the child they knew had been born. In the stable we gathered to watch the Nativity scene unfold. Mary and Joseph sat silently by the manger, admiring Jesus their new baby. Then the shepherds arrived giving him a fleece to keep him warm against the bitter cold. The wise men sang, then knelt before Gods new born son and presented him with their costly gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. Angels appeared during the final carol, Hark the Herald Angels Sing adding to the atmosphere of love, joy and peace. And so the message of Christmas was brought to life, as relevant today as it has always been: Emmanuel, God with us.

Britains Best Village.

Norley Village in Cheshire has again won the best village competition. The judges said that the community spirit and the quality of life here was the best they had seen anywhere. Locals say it all started with the Neighbourhood Plan. Suddenly the village came to life. We all got to know our neighbours and started to work together to make things the way we wanted them to be. Its a dream village to live in now. No, youre right. This hasnt actually happened yet! But youd like it to? Yes? Youll have seen the Neighbourhood Plan talked about before, here in the Village News, but we want to tell you that its actually happening now. As you know, the government has given parishes the chance to decide what happens to them in the future so, together, we can make Norley the village youd like it to be, the best village it could possibly be. There will be lots of ways you can and will need to, help this process. There will be workshops to attend or run, surveys to help with, research to do. And no doubt many other things we havent thiought of yet! The steering group would like to hear from you if youd like to help move Norley into its bright new future. Contact us now, at jon007.wild@hotmail.co.uk. Stop Press : Parish Councillor John Davison called a

meeting at the Tigers Head on 17 January, to continue the work of speading the message about Neighbourhood Plans. In particular he wanted to start the process of involving interest groups within the village, a dialogue that John is keen to develop in the weeks to come. We were delighted to see about 20 people turn up, see picture of some of them below. A Core Group of village volunteers has been formed to help drive work when it starts. There will be a need for a range of volunteered skills from within the village if the plan is to proceed smoothly. What skills do you have that you could offer? These might range from town planning, project management, to research, communications or a number of skills we havent thought of! Please let me know at the above address if you feel you have skills to offer. We will keep you informed through the NN, but there are some websites where you can learn more if your are hungry for knowledge in the meantime! http://www.communities.gov.uk/news/ corporate/2007557http://www.communities.gov.uk/ publications/planningandbuilding/ introductionneighbourplanning

The Diamond Jubilee Is Coming

A number of events are already under discussion in the village, including some centred on the Tigers Head. Your Parish Council is very keen that we do full justice to this important occasion in June in the way that villagers wish to, and is looking for the involvement of Norley people to make it happen. Do you have; Good ideas as to how we could mark the occasion? Time to give, to plan and organize events? Other resources to make available? Such as equipment or sponsorship? If so, we want to hear from you. You can contact the NN at the usual address, jon007.wild@hotmail.co.uk, or you can come along to the open session being run by Parish Council members, at the Tigers Head on 6th February at 7.30, and talk about your ideas face to face. People still talk about previous celebrations of Royal occasions in the village. Lets make this a one to remember! Blooming Marvellous The Parish Council has secured agreement to Norley having a small number of flower filled planters around the village. The Horticultural Society has said that they will help us to keep them looking good. This is a great chance to beautify still further our village. But the Parish Council wants your ideas as to where these planters should be sited. There are many possible sites the triangle outside the Tigers Head, by the roads leading in to the village, or on the road edge near the Fortune Palace, have all been suggested. We are unlikely to have a large number perhaps as few as

2, or perhaps a couple more. So, thinking caps on please we need your ideas! Usual e-mail address, jon007.wild@hotmail.co.uk.

CWAC Consultation On Taxi Services Your Chance To Have A Say

Cheshire West and Chester Council manages the licensing of both hackney carriages and private hire vehicles across the Borough. Following Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), the Council has inherited different policies in different areas of the borough. These areas, or zones, correspond to the previous local authority areas of Chester, Ellesmere Port & Neston and Vale Royal. The Council wants to ensure residents and visitors to the Borough have access to safe and reliable taxis and private hire vehicles. In order to do this, we want to produce clear and consistent standards and guidelines for taxi and private hire licence holders by harmonising the way the Council regulates these services. The consultation is being promoted via posters and flyers (attached) across the borough and they will be displayed in public buildings as well as community venues. A newspaper advert will also be going in newspapers across the borough at the start of the consultation with a reminder mid way through. We are asking people to complete a questionnaire in order to give their views an e version of the questionnaire will be put o n t h e w e b l i n k s h o r t l y www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/taxiconsultation.

February Recipes
Calling all Hestons and Mary Berrys We need your recipes! In support of the Village Hall and other Norley good causes we plan to pull together a book of the Norley villagers favourite recipes. We plan a well presented volume, hardback with photographs of the village and the recipes. This will take some time, as it is a sizeable task to prepare and edit, but the

final product will we hope be a thing of lasting value, ideal for a gift. We also said it would be available in the spring this year! A big thanks to those of you who have sent recipes in, we have had a handful, but need more to create a credible cook book. Please let us have you favourite recipes; please email them to me at Karen@Karenhornbyfood.co.uk, ideally this month. You can send us anything - preferably fairly short - and we will try to use them all. The ones using locally available ingredients and a quick explanation would be ideal. If you have a photo too, that's great - or we can organise one later. Here is one provided by our neighbours Beryl and Alan in Norley from her mothers coveted Party Cookbook, we think from the 1950s. As ever all the ingredients can be bought from The Stores, even frozen puff pastry. I look forward to receiving your creations!

Norley CE Primary School February Newsletter

Dear Readers, The children, staff would like to take the opportunity to wish you a belated Happy New Year- we have been busy making New Year resolutions, and how others can help us stick to them!. I am determined to try and exercise more and have promised the children I will try to walk round the field at school more this is quite a challenge as it is a long way round! As usual we have already been very busy at school I hope you enjoy reading about what the children have been up to!

We are very much looking forward to our completed mosaic tiles being installed at the village hall we are lucky to be part of such a thriving community. Thanks especially to the Church and the opportunity to take part in the range of special Christmas events the Walk Round Nativity was a particular favourite!
Mrs Ann Griffiths HT, Staff and Children at Norley CE School

When we came back to Norley school in 2012 we all got excited with all the new things we were going to do this term. We have lots of different displays and activities. One of our displays has a tree with a prayer the back of every leaf. Everyone in the school has written a prayer for the tree. In class 3 we have started a topic about famous people. We are researching inventions. Here are some of the inventions we have researched so far; the DVD invented in 1993, we also found out that the microwave was invented in 1945 and e-mail was invented in 1971. When we have finished the

When Is A Cheesecake Not A Cheesecake? When Its A Cheshire Cheesecake

Gary Wiffin, his wife Jemma and their business partner Paula Haynes, are pleased to announce the opening of their new Cheshire Cheesecake company shop at Lady Hayes (Regency building, opposite the Playbarn). These cheesecakes are really something different see below. Gary and Jemma have worked as chefs and Head Chefs in a range of restaurants, hotels and licensed premises around the UK, and as far as away as Australia. It was while in Australia that Gary had the idea for the Cheesecake business, which is now coming to fruition. They had been running the catering at the Ryles Arms in Higher Sutton for some years, and doing outside catering too. A cheesecake made for a wedding in Frodsham received such rave reviews that they realised there was a great demand for the products, and so far hey havent looked back. These are local products: Gary and Jemma live in Kingsley (they are the daughters and son in law of the landlord of the Red Bull, Steve). The products themselves are local too they use local eggs, dairy products, fruit in season, and even their chocolate comes from a top quality supplier in Wilmslow. Gary has big plans for the Cheshire Cheesecake brand, and as you will see, our tasting panel think he is on to a winner, Find more out at www.cheshirecheesecakes.co.uk, You can order through the shop of course, or contact Gary on 07578846115. There is a special introductory offer for NN readers: mention NN when visiting the shop, for 20% discount during the first month. Cheesy Grins all round! We put together a tasting panel of Norley residents, who tried four of the cheesecakes (a tough job but someone had to do it!). They went down very well. Comments included A world away from normal cheesecakes. Lovely presentation. They look great. Really creamy, great texture and, of the lemon meringue variety (the favourite) Really tastes like a lemon meringue pie, but in a cheesecake!. Others were too busy munching to make comments, but we think the faces say it all.

Norley WI January Meeting

Thursday January 12th Held in Norley Village Hall. President Helen Ebbitt welcomed visitors Mr & Mrs Booth, Norman Shrubb, Melanie Capper, Jaquie Oliver, Martin Gambrell and Louise Curtis. It was decided that there will be a pantomime in 2013. There will be a Produce show meeting in the home of Helen at No. 1, Foresters Close at 7~30 pm on Thursday January 17th. Everyone is invited to attend to discuss ideas. The title is Best of Britain. We were encourage to bring any cakes, jam, unwanted gifts, garden produce and other items to sell on the Trading table. 10% of the cost will go into funds the rest is yours. Resolution forms for the Annual General were handed in. Hartford WI have invited us to join them on March 15th for their Antique Road show ~~ bring you own antiques. 4.50 Alan Partridge in attendance. After tea and biscuits we had a great favourite Mr. Roy Willis addressing our open meeting subject Burma Mysterious Country. He opened with a computer generated picture of himself by the gate of Aung San Suu Kyi. She was released a day later. Between India and China is a country called Myanmar. This is the modern name for Burma. It is the largest country in SE Asia with a population of 60.000.00. It has all its own resources and is a very rich country in both minerals and produce, all natural resources and big white sandy beaches. The people are very friendly with English almost as a second language. They are very dignified and religious with 65% Buddhist, 15%

work we will publish it on the website. So watch this space. Norley School is looking forward to sporting events including football matches, the rugby tournament and running a mile for Sport Relief. Maybe you would like to join us!!! On Friday 20th of January, class three came into the class to find three exotic class mates munching on some cucumber. These new class mates were soon too be identified as Giant African Land Snails! Some early arrivals from class three named them Brian, Norman and Spud! (Norman from Norley). These slimy snails like lettuce and cucumber... Every weekend a different child takes home Brian, Spud and Norman (much to the dismay of their Mum) and cleans their tank out and gives them more lettuce! Every so often the snails need to be flicked with water to keep them damp. The suggestion came up in a School Council meeting about having class pets; they decided that the options were either fish or snails. Mrs Kelly quickly discarded the idea of fish due to a phobia, (apparently its the eyes and fins) so the

The last war was to them 1941 to 1945 and they believe that to the rest of the world they are forgotten. Most of the pagodas are finished in gold. Cyclone Narglu hit in May 2008 with 138.000 dead, The live in Bamboo Houses in mainly rural areas and have Female road builders. The Inden men row boats using one leg. All the buildings are on stilts due to the rise and fall of the water level. They make paper parasols using local rushes. From age 17 to 70 the ladies wear neck bracelets starting with one and adding another each year. The necklets are new but if you need false teeth they are all second hand? They do lovely silk weaving but being mainly buddhist they never kill the silkworms. Petrol there is very limited, cars fill up on one day of the week and motor bikes the next.

Probably linked to the above a house in Keswick Drive Frodsham was subject to a burglary around the same time. Access was gained by smashing a rear glass door. Jewellery was taken. A handbag and contents has been stolen along with a Laptop Computer during a Burglary at a house in Nixon Road Cuddington. The offender smashed a rear door to gain entry. Enquiries continue.

Additional officers are being deployed and these are supported by colleagues from other departments which include CID and the Operational Support Unit. Finally can I share a concern I have in relation to the number of Road Traffic Collisions occurring across the Rural Area. Can I ask that you ensure your vehicle is roadworthy before any journey, a simple check of your tyres and lights may identify a defect that you were totally aware of. When actually driving please drive at a speed that

I continue to have extra patrols on duty in relation to Burglaries of outbuildings and sheds in the Frodsham and Sutton Weaver areas. The staff have been working in close consultation with colleagues from the adjoining Runcorn Policing area and at time of writing there has been a decrease in the report of such incidents. After a lengthy and detailed investigation 2 males from the Liverpool Area have been charged with Robbery of high value cycles which were stolen from individuals whilst they were at Delamere Forest.
