CHESTERS Kingsway Shopping Parade is to be the focus of a piece of research to
understand how it can better serve the local community.
Local newton Councillors Adrian Walmsley and Tom Parry have used their member
budgets to fund the University of Chester to undertake the research work.
Cllr Walmsley said: The decision to fund this piece of work comes at a time when, as we
all know, the credit crunch is taking its toll on traditional retailing.
That is why it is so important to see if it is affecting the local businesses here on the
Kingsway Parade
which suffered a
blow with the loss
of a post offce
some years ago.
Councillor Parry
said: It will be very
interesting to fnd
out the conclusions
of the University of
Chester report in
the months ahead.
Both Councillor
Walmsley and
myself value the
Shopping Parade
as an important
hub for the people
of Kingsway and
Newton and this research may be of beneft for other shopping parades in the Borough.
natalie Russell, Researcher at the University of Chesters Centre for Labour market
Development said: Both myself and my colleague retail expert Phil Smith hope that the
results will help shape the future of the Kingsway Shopping Parade for the beneft of all of
the community.
Information is being gathered in a variety of ways. Local residents and users of the
shopping parade can contribute by completing an online or paper survey before Sunday 31st
march.
The survey can be flled in online: Kingsway Shopping Parde survey
Paper copies can be requested by ringing natalie on 01244 512861.

Now spring is finally in the air, many of
us may be about to set about our annual
rituals of spring cleaning the house,
clearing the garage or sorting out the
shed. But this could also be a perfect
time for a spring clean of your finances.
How long has it been since you reviewed the interest
rates on your savings? How are your ISAs performing?
Are your Pensions in the right place? Is your Will up
to date?
With the new financial year shortly upon us, the 6th
April brings with it a refreshed range of allowances
which are always more valuable if made use of at the
start of the tax year, benefiting from a full years tax
efficiency.
Although we continue to face a gloomy outlook
for the economy amid talks of a potential triple dip
recession, the markets have actually performed well
so far in 2013.
However the squeeze on household budgets
continues to be felt at both ends. Ever increasing
taxation is impacting upon net household income
while the average family budget is increasing as
inflation bites.
Many tax allowances have been reduced, whilst
higher earners are also missing out on child benefit
payments.
Understanding your own tax position and how you
can make use of the various allowances available to
you has never been more crucial in gaining maximum
benefit from your hard earned money.

Many people may have acquired a plethora of pension
plans over their working lives. Having something in
place is better than nothing, but do you know what
these plans will be worth to you in retirement? How
much do you need to live on in retirement? Taking
time to review your existing plans will give you a
realistic idea of what kind of retirement you can look
forward to.
Next to pensions, ISAs are the most tax efficient
investment vehicles and likewise many people have
amassed a range of different funds and accounts some
from the days of TESSAs and PEPs.
With interest rates at an all-time low, knowing what
rates your Cash ISAs are paying is vital, with many
paying less than 1% shopping around can add 100s to
your annual interest payments.
With 2,942 ISA funds available in the UK (source:
Trustnet, IMA Unit Trusts & OEICs), which ones
do you hold in your ISAs and where are they in the
performance league table?
YoUR FINANCIAL FUTURE
Are your concerns more around what will happen to
your assets upon your death?
Could your assets come under threat from the costs
of Long Term Care?
Does your current Will provide for your beneficiaries
in the most efficient way?
Or has it not kept up with changes in legislation?
Taking some time now to review some or all of these
areas will help you get better organised and build a
clearer picture of your financial future.
We help our clients with these areas by taking the
hassle out of the process, conducting research into
their existing holdings and providing clear and concise
recommendations without obligation.

clean your finances, please get in touch or register

CountryBoys
Struggle
CountryBoys Struggle has been
devised in collaboration with Martin Stan-
nage and Baba Israel.
Writer/Performer Maxwell Golden says:
Its about what its like living in a rural
area and wanting to make urban music,
then moving to the city and finding its not
what you expect especially when your
heart and soul is on the beaches and with
the community you grew up in.
Although it is performed predominantly
through the aesthetic of modern UK Hip
Hop theatre, the real emotion underlying
the story is always of upmost importance.
CountryBoys Struggle integrates music,
poetry, MCing, as well as physical comedy
to reflect both rural and urban environ-
ments.
Contacts Artistic Director Baba Israel
says: Im really excited about directing
Maxwell Goldens CountryBoys Struggle.
Maxwell is a fantastic artist with a back-
ground in hip hop and spoken word but
also in clown and physical theatre and hes
going to bring together those skills to tell a
really important story about a young man
and his journey.
l CountryBoys Struggle is on stage at
Dunham on the Hill Youth Club on Monday
22nd April. Call 01244 972835.

We would all like more space in our
homes and with houses in the UK get-
ting smaller, space is at a premium. But
what if there was an afordable way
to create more space in our homes? A
simple solution for all those people fed
up of living among clutter and one that
doesnt require planning permission or
any major structural building work.
For most, the loft is a dark and dingy
place visited seasonally; once to dig
out the Christmas decorations and
then again to bring down the holiday
suitcases. A precarious scramble across
dusty beams, torch in hand; grabbing
whats needed then clambering back
past boxes filled with long-forgotten
belongings.
But that dark and dingy place is worth
thousands. In fact, it takes up a third of
the floor space in an average home. So
shouldnt you be making the most of it?
And thats where More Than Loft
Ladders (MTLL) comes in. Founded
in Bolton over five years ago, MTLL
specialises in generating space by mak-
ing the loft easily accessible. And thats
all it does. Its not a generic
building company, and its not
jack-of-all-trades. MTLL only
installs loft hatches, ladders,
boarding, lighting and insula-
tion. Its what the company
does all day, every day, using qualified
local installers who are reliable, tidy
and efficient.
The latest MTLL franchisee to open
covers Crewe and Chester and is
run by skilled tradesman, Adam
Shepherd...Our average job is about
290 and only takes a few hours to
complete, says Adam.
And for that, customers get a modern
two section aluminium ladder 50sq
ft of boarding and a light to make the
space safe and secure.
The price customers are quoted is
the price they will pay, with no
additional call out or credit card
charges.
More Than Loft Ladders is al-
ready a trusted name in the north
west with over 2,500 successful instal-
lations, and I really wanted to bring it
here to Cheshire...Its such a great and
cost efective way for people to gain the
extra space they need, added Adam.

CountryBoys
Struggle
CountryBoys Struggle has been
devised in collaboration with Martin Stan-
nage and Baba Israel.
Writer/Performer Maxwell Golden says:
Its about what its like living in a rural
area and wanting to make urban music,
then moving to the city and finding its not
what you expect especially when your
heart and soul is on the beaches and with
the community you grew up in.
Although it is performed predominantly
through the aesthetic of modern UK Hip
Hop theatre, the real emotion underlying
the story is always of upmost importance.
CountryBoys Struggle integrates music,
poetry, MCing, as well as physical comedy
to reflect both rural and urban environ-
ments.
Contacts Artistic Director Baba Israel
says: Im really excited about directing
Maxwell Goldens CountryBoys Struggle.
Maxwell is a fantastic artist with a back-
ground in hip hop and spoken word but
also in clown and physical theatre and hes
going to bring together those skills to tell a
really important story about a young man
and his journey.
l CountryBoys Struggle is on stage at
Dunham on the Hill Youth Club on Monday
22nd April. Call 01244 972835.

Some musings about Hoole with Andy Medcraft
Mums the Word
I sat outside in the bitter cold of the backyard and looked about at the hardy plants
that had survived the worst of the winter. scattered around them were the carcases of
those that hadnt. It was a depressing sight and one that I am pleased to have kept from
my Mum - the horticultural guru, Queen of bed, border and basket and keeper of the
finest garden in the land.
Looking around at the desolate landscape of damp and decay it hard to imagine that I can ever get it back to
its former glory. The moss growing between the flagstones injected the only colour and it struck me as odd that
I was so overpowered by it. Compared with the gardens in which I grew up, a postage stamp-sized backyard
should be so much more manageable. The lack of lawn to mow, beds to turn over and boarders to attend to
limits my challenge to an ivy clad trellis separating my space from my neighbours and a number of terracotta
pots in which I struggle to keep heathers, ferns and succulents.
I want to prove the apple doesnt fall too far from the tree. Its the age old notion of wanting to impress
your parents. But here begins the trail to the epicentre of my problem. What impresses me appears not to
impress others. For example, tonight, I come home from work and I try to accomplish epic missions before the
microwave hits zero. I congratulate myself with a cuppa and settle down to watch the Chase.
When I came back from the garden centre with a boot full of multipurpose compost, I willed my Mum to
phone. I wanted her to interrupt. I wanted my other half to say hold on, he is just in the yard, Ill go get him for
you. But no. She knows when Im sat in my pants eating a bowl of Coco Pops. Its like a sixth sense - or a well-
hidden webcam that I am yet to discover.
I planned what needed digging up, what needed re-potting and what part of the yard we could actually enjoy
without having to straddle the ever increasing number of recycling containers. I dragged stuf around, plucked
snails from the larger pots, scrubbed a lot of the green from the flagstones and gave everywhere a general tidy.
I was quite proud of the results and found myself taking my phone from my pocket and photographing the
yard. I played around with the image on instagram, filtering it and adjusting the hues and tones until I got
an impressive looking final image. I then posted it on facebook and waited for some recognition. I labelled
it before wanting to give the impression that it was a starting point and that another would follow labelled
after. What I didnt convey was that I had spent the best part of the day out there.
I needed to fine tune and control the snapshot and in doing so, I realised that what it is all about. Snap
shots. We live in awe of other people and their successes because that is what we see. The social networking
of updates, allowing us to take control over what others know about us. What others see. Our conversations
in the pub steer away from the topics we want to avoid and we encourage those for which we want to
claim bragging rights for. The pictures we frame in our houses are rarely of ourselves and thanks to digital
photography, we can delete the unflattering images before anybody else sees them.
When mum comes to visit, there will be no talk about missions to Mars, DIY or surgical procedures. Instead,
she will run her fingers through the heathers; enjoy the smells from the lavenders and sit on a bench in my
backyard enjoying the late spring sunshine. Ill want her to think that the garden is always this immaculate
and the sun always shines in Hoole. Well talk about the positive things we have both been up to and leave the
negative stuf for a rainy day. Ill avoid Coco Pops and will most certainly not be sitting out there in my pants.
And when she smiles and says how perfect it all is, some of that smile will be a subtle nod to her own relief
that she found it this way again. That all those time she called and didnt interrupt me was just bad timing. I
had been working my fingers to bone to get it just so. Just as she did for all those years that I was growing up.
Just like she continues to do now.

HOOLE RANGERS FC
For more information about Hoole Rangers FC please contact Glyn Roberts
Mob: 07515 805966 e-mail: Glyn@HooleRangersFC.com Website: www. HooleRangersFC.com
THE weather has decimated the fxtures for both
Hoole Rangers teams since november, so this
report will cover all fxtures since that date
Hoole Rangers FC 1st team have played six
fxtures since the last report in November. During
December, we had a tough Senior cup tie versus
Chester nomads 1st team, currently doing well
in West Cheshire Division 1. After a really hard
fought game, with both sides having chances
to win it, Hoole lost out by a single goal, 4-3 in
probably our best performance of the season.
This gave us a real boost and we had hoped
to continue this good form in our league games.
However, in our next game away to 2nd placed
Kelma, we had seven players missing and were
soundly beaten 4-0.
Due to weather, we played no more games until
February, when we had 2 really good results in the
league, beating Ellesmere Port by 2-1, followed by
a great 4-0 victory over newton Athletic. However,
in early march, we played 2 cup games, and lost
out in both. The frst loss was to Division 1 side
FCVillage, where we probably played the worst
game this season, and fully deserved to lose by
3-1.
We followed this with another cup game against
a strong Shaftsbury side, where despite being 2-0
up just before half time, lost our way badly in the
2nd half, going down 4-2. This was a real blow
as we were very capable of winning both of these
cups.
Second Team
The 2nd team, in Division 1 only played 4 games
during the last four months. In our only game
in December, we had a great 5-3 victory over
Ashton. In January, we played 2nd from bottom
team, Chester nomads III, who put out a really
strong side and we lost 4-0. In February we lost
2 further games, against Chester Celtic by 3-1 in
a game where we trialled playing on Astro-turf at
Chester College. Following that defeat we were
pitched against league leaders, Lache, and were
soundly beaten by 8-0.
Changing room extension
There has been some progress on the changing
room extension project, we had a very positive
meeting with LIVE! Trustees ( new Scene based
charity and building lease holders) to discuss the
required 25 year lease, and we are now waiting
for a meeting with Cheshire West and Chester
council, after which we should be in a position to
fnalise 25 year lease arrangements for the pitch
and changing rooms, and then start the Planning
Permission process.
Assistant manager wanted
We are currently looking for an assistant
manager for the frst team working with Adam
Bebbington, and also a manager and assistant
manager for the reserves. We hope to have
these positions flled by the end of this season
so they are in place for 2013/14 pre-season.
management experience is not essential as we
will provide support while people learn the ropes,
but a working knowledge of amateur football is
desirable. Good motivational skills, plus an ability
to bring in new young players would also be an
advantage. If anyone is interested in these roles,
please get in touch, via the e-mail address below.
Sponsors
As always, we are looking for sponsors for next
season, helping fund items such as tracksuits,
match balls, match fees etc. or maybe helping with
the changing room refurbishment project. If any
individuals or businesses are interested in working
with a very ambitious local football club, please
contact me on the e-mail or mobile number given
below.
Training
Due to poor turnout, probably related to bad
weather, we have suspended Training for the time
being. If any new players want to join the club with
a view to playing next season, please contact me
on mobile / e-mail below and I will advise how you
can get involved.

HOOLE HISTORY ON RIGHT TRACK!
mEmBERS of the Hoole History and Heritage Society spent a fascinating day at the
national Railway museum in York on Saturday 9th march.
They were using the museums unique Search Engine research facilities to explore the
coming of the railways to Chester in the 1840s.
The visit was an opportunity for a fact-fnding mission, part of their Heritage Lottery funded
project.
maps, books and plans were consulted and copious notes and photocopies taken to
start to build up a picture of those early days and to start exploring the lives of the people
involved.
Chesters iconic railway station and the early housing in Hoole around it featured largely
in the researches.
members are now working to create an accessible set of resources to show the public
how much the physical appearance and character of Hoole have developed from the
1830s.

It was Eric Hoffer, the American writer who once said, Man is eminently a
storyteller. His search for a purpose, a cause, an ideal, a mission and the like
is largely a search for a plot and a pattern in the development of his life story
-- a story that is basically without meaning or pattern. Whilst I would agree
with Hoffer that story telling is important I do take issue with him that the
story is without meaning. Let me tell you one of my favourite stories that
I hope might illustrate what I mean
Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods. they were
discussing their hopes and dreams when the frst tree said, Someday
I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be flled with gold, silver and
precious gems. Then the second tree said, Someday I will be a mighty
ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners
of the world.
Finally the third tree said, I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest
tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and look up to my
branches, and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am
reaching. After a few months later, a group of woodsmen came upon the
trees. Looking at the frst tree one said, This looks like a strong tree, I
think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter ... and he began
cutting it down. At the second tree a woodsman said, this looks like a strong tree, I should be able to
sell it to the shipyard. When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened because
he knew that if they cut him down his dreams would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, I
dont need anything special from this tree so Ill just cut it down.
When the frst tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into a feed box for animals. He was then
placed in a barn and flled with hay. The second tree was cut and made into a small fshing boat. The
third tree was cut into large pieces and left alone in the dark. the years went by, and the trees forgot
about their dreams.
then one day, a man and woman came to the barn. A baby was born and placed in the hay in the feed
box that was made from the frst tree. The tree could feel the importance of this event and knew that
it had held the greatest treasure of all time. Years later, a group of men got in the fshing boat made
from the second tree. A great storm arose and the tree didnt think it was strong enough to keep the
men safe. then one of the men stood up and said Peace and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree
knew that it had carried the King of Kings in its boat.
Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried through the streets as the people mocked
the man who was carrying it. When they came to a stop, the man was nailed to the tree and raised in
the air to die at the top of a hill. the tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the top
of the hill and be as close to God as was possible, because Jesus had been crucifed on it.
I believe the story of our lives is rooted in meaning and purpose and the moral of this story is that
when things dont seem to be going your way, always know that God has a plan for you. If you place
your trust in Him, He will give you great gifts. Each of the trees got what they wanted, just not in the
way they had imagined. We dont always know what Gods plans are for us. We just know that His
ways are not our ways, but His ways are always best.
