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
flower centre pieces and were scattered with
sweets.
After dinner guests enjoyed live music from
Jacob’s Ladder and a raffle 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?

Carnival
was a
huge
success
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.

Chris completes golf marathon
COMPLETING 18 holes of golf can be
quite arduous at times as it can mean a
walk of over five 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 golfing marathon
last month.
They began their odyssey at the Portal
Hotel Championship Course in Tarporley
where they completed the first two
rounds, before moving on to Eaton Golf
Club in Waverton for the final two rounds.

 Peckforton
Castle is
a racing
certainty!
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
50 To advertise call 01244 350398
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.

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.

AUGUsT IN YOUr GArDeN
Gardening by Janet Heath
AUGUST can be a dull month in the garden as the spring and early summer flowering 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 flowering
perennials and some shrubs. Flowering shrubs include such favourites as hydrangeas,
Hypericum Hidcote with its shiny buttercup yellow flowers, Lavatera, which flowers for weeks in
shades of white and pink and Buddleia, try the variety Black Knight with its deep purple flowers.
If you go for flowers, there are many perennials that will reliably flower every year especially if
you have a sunny border. Campanula lactiflora is tall with clusters of bell flowers 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 flowers 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 flowers 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 flavour 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 flowering 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!

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 figures 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: hilary@scarratt.com
 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

New chapter for former roadside cafe

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 fiction,
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 find 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.”
