That would be brilliant thank you.
We are organising some things to do for our boaters at the rally in June and this would be a useful addition to their visit.

Quiz question for you but theres no prizes as such.....or at all for that matter. Can anyone tell me when Audlem started erecting Christmas trees in the Square please? Specifically, what year did it start? Theres a valid reason for me asking this but embarrasment permits me from saying what it is at this point but, dependant on the year the 'tree putting up' practise started will either make me tell you why I'd like to know...or not. ;-)
I thank you.

Celia, please could we have a box for the marina?

why all the objections to what could be a spectacular wedding venue . I can only see good coming from this project Brong it on and help the local economy . could be a nice little earner for our local students .

I have boxes of them, in the pandemic I have not been leaving them at the shops but can take some down to canal shop on Sunday if that helps.

Does anyone have a copy of the Historical walk around Audlem leaflet I can borrow?

The important thing is for residents to take the opportunity, if they wish, to post their views on the planning portal and e mail environmental health by the DEADLINE 6.12.21 ( Monday).
There are already a significant number of well reasoned objections.
Once passed, this venue will be with us PERMANENTLY and over time there is the risk it will get bigger and louder.
Google Earth gives a striking bird's eye view of just how close this is to the village.
Please also bear in mind for the future: the original plan was to have things on a much larger scale and the music in a marquee outside. Only a handful of us received formal notice of the plans.

Hi Hannah can I ask how long ago you emailed the council just I have never received or been told of any such email. All the planning applications we discuss are on the minutes from each council meeting which we upload and also placed in the notice board. You can also very easily search for any local planning application on the Cheshire east website

Are there any night photographers around that are keen for some shoots?
There are a few places I would like to go that are out of the area so quite early starts/late finishes.
Also just asking if there is anyone else interested in taking part and/or learning about it.

It would be good to see if anyone wants to get into it and share ideas.

In response to D Sandiford – thank you for this – I completely agree, I emailed all our parish council team some time ago with the below:

"I had a bit of a moment the other day and thought of something that could be a good idea and I'm not sure many if any parish councils do this – Can I suggest that someone within the parish council keep tabs on all planning applications, especially those for dwellings and those that may affect local residents and post them on a medium that means they will be seen by the masses with the relevant links so that those that may want to object can do so easily?"

The reason these things get through is because they go unnoticed. If these were posted on audlem online and across community Facebook pages then people would have a chance to make a difference in our local community by having the opportunity to object before it is too late.

Just a thought or suggestion – make as many aware in an accessible way – this would be great. What do you think?"

Naturally I had no meaningful response – and of course my suggestion has been ignored – how wonderful eh!

Had a call on my mobile from supposedly Carphone Warehouse.(Burnley code)
Told the nice Asian gentlemen I don't respond to cold callers and hung up.
Did a Google search and found out it's a scam going around.
Carphone Warehouse don't cold call.
Be careful out there.

Can anyone recommend someone to fix a small leak in a conservatory roof? Many thanks

Chris and I ate there recently and Thoroughly Enjoyed the meal. We shared 6 dishes plus a shared desert which was plenty! As you say – lovely friendly staff and Laura is very knowledgeable about her wines! Agree as regards the scotch egg – didn't have the pate that time – but very tasty and innovative dishes. Another good reason to stay in Audlem!!
We'll definitely be going back very soon!

Thanks for the warning John. They must have been pretty convincing for you to have listened that far. They picked the wrong person that time!

Thanks, John, for pointing out this 'BT' scammer. Like, you, I'm intrigued as to how they could make any money from this. I guess, who knows what line they would take if they had someone on the other end who was not tech-savvy.

Forewarned, always good.

Looking for somewhere different to enjoy lunch or dinner? Linden Stores is a very welcome addition to the village. Their menu is innovative – try the Scotch Egg with black pudding or the fabulous liver pate. An excellent wine list and last but not least friendly and efficient staff. Well worth a visit.

Be aware reported it to police yesterday, a tall dark hair man came said he was from Scottish power, pulled his id out of his pocket quick , never had chance to look pushed it back in, we bombarded him with to many questions of plain clothes no works vehicle, he walked off with his phone in the air, until my mother shouted him back and threw another load of questions at him, he then had the cheek to ask which line does our power come through, I checked his car and rang police, it is not on their system the car so be aware

It will be three years this January and I have a celebration already planned. Watch this space.

There used to be people who did 'invisible mending'. Is there anyone in the Audlem area who does this?
Yeah, yeah! .... No jokes please about their being hard to find!!

Only 2 years Nick Smith? I wouldn't be at all surprised if its actually 3 years, feels like it anyway.

A HUGE THANK YOU to the ADAS members and volunteers who have put the tree back where it belongs and lighting up the centre of the village again. Conditions weren't ideal to work in but they ploughed on and erected the tree once again. Thank you to all involved. The Grinch didn't steal out Christmas!

I have used Melody in Wistaston to alter prom dress and shorten trousers – very reasonable and quick turn around
