Good to know the policy is appreciated. Pity you couldn't resist the negative dig.

10 out of 10 to the AOL team for finally adopting a policy of not allowing animals to be sold via buy/sell, not before time but better late than never.

Well done AOL for not putting any Animal 'sales' on any more. I cringed when I saw ads especially when they included the words 'free'. I dread to think what happened to some of the Animals. Not blaming the sellers, just some of the people the Animals may have gone to. Great decision. ;-)

Hello Clare
You haven't posted phone number or email details, if you could do so, we can then be in touch.
Many thanks

Well done Adam and his team Another big step towards normality. Ignore the odd moaner and bring on more music . Good use of the Turnpike Field.

Thanks all for your messages. He is coming back home....at least for food anyway. Carl

Hi,

If you have electric gate issues, I can highly recommend Colin of "CB Gate Services"; https://www.cbgateservices.co.uk/
07968 584 322.

My electric gates stopped working.
Two reputable companies confirmed both motors had failed and couldn't be repaired.
Fortunately, a 3rd company – CB Gate Services – said one motor was completely fine and only one needed replacing (the broken motor made the working motor malfunction). Thereby saving me over £1,000.

Three weeks later and they are still working perfectly, so I'm happy to recommend Colin. And it's good to support a local company (Mucklestone).
And he does gate servicing as well as repairs.

Thanks Nigel
Interesting they are contemplating a dipping platform , when the reason it's fenced and gated was to protect the wildlife , keep dogs out and prevent children from getting in !!

Hi, does anyone know or can recommend an ironing service or person who offers an ironing service?

Most of the road signs were dropped off in Salford in the early hours, 3.33am to be precise, last Saturday morning by a small truck with amber flashing lights. The noise caused me to levitate and check the source. Why are the council, or much more likely, a sub contractor working overnight? Is it for health and safety or down to the shortage of drivers to the extent that some are moonlighting? If the latter then it begs the question as to how many hours these people are driving. Lets hope it was not an hgv driver doing an overnighter before driving to Glasgow with a 40 tonne wagon of steel castings on the M6 Just a thought, particularly after the fatalities on the motorway last week in which a van was involved.

Hi Carl
I was at the bowling green yesterday afternoon and as I left Bob was laid outside the club at 4:30pm.
There was no match last night so he won't have had the opportunity to sneak into the clubhouse as he often does

He was at the Green all day Sunday enjoying the bowling and lots of tit bits and I saw him yesterday afternoon (4.30-ish) when I was at the Club checking the bar stock. So he is around.

The Turnpike Field minutes for the July and June meetings are here: https://tfra.audlem.org/summary/meeting-minutes.html

Hi,

Has anyone seen BobCat or Bobby, black and white cat about 12 years old, in the last couple of days. He has not been home and usually when i go looking for him i can find him and he follows me home for food. Usually around the bowling green area of Audlem. Could you check outbuildings for me to make sure he is not locked in as he has been known to get locked in places before. thanks Carl

Thanks for finally publishing the minutes from 12th July . Could someone point me to where I can find the minutes from the last two Turnpike field working group .

Thank you for highlighting the negatives about the campers on turnpike Field during the Audlem Music Festival. Firstly, I see it as using poetic licence when stating "nearly a week has gone by since the event started" When the correct statement should have said "3 days since the event ended" Granted that doesn't sound as dramatic. Secondly, I personally visited the site yesterday. Unfortunately the portable loo has not been uplifted yet and the 7 bin bags were exactly where I asked campers to leave them (near the loo). In an ideal world our refuse collection at the Bridge was due Thursday but has been put back to tomorrow (sat) am. When this has been uplifted I will personally go and get the 7 bin bags and place them in our refuse bins as planned albeit a day and a half later than expected. In regard to litter, again it is minimal and will be picked up in less then 2 minutes and at the same time as the bin bags are removed. I'd really appreciate it if issues were highlighted to me and not via a public forum. I see it as nothing more than provocative nonsense, that serves no purpose other than divide the village.
On a final note, this kind of negative posts makes me question whether it's worth putting an event on for the village and for a good cause.

Hi Suzzie yes they appeared yesterday . Thanks

Hi all, we are having a garage sale at Weaver Bank Farm, Whitchurch Road, Audlem on Saturday 11th sept from 09.00 – 13.00.

Gates open at 09:00 there will be a sign on the grass verge and ample parking. Come and grab a bargain.
Cash only please.
Hope to see you then.
Many Thanks,

Hi Lynette

The PC Minutes of the July meeting are showing on their website, albeit in Draft form.

Fairly sure I saw them displayed on the notice board a few weeks ago.

What more evidence do we need as to why the parking issues in the village are not being addressed and not likely to be in the near future?!

Hi,
I would be interested in one of the slide projectors. You can contact me by email – diannehardy47@yahoo.co.uk
Thanks Dianne

Hi,

Praise and Play re starts on the September 9th at 9.30am. Please look at St James Facebook page for further details.

Hi Lynette
They're probably too busy dining at TLC every night and parking on double yellows to worry about such trivial matters

I have a been asked to enquire if anyone is interested in a job.
It is to help a dad and two boys (14 and 9)
20 hours a week
own transport needed as some of it is transport for the boys
also cooking
mostly in the week
