Thanks for posting this; could be a great idea for Audlem too.
Maybe the Turnpike Field could be used?
More information on the project here too which has answers to many questions:

Let's see if there is interest to look into taking it further.

For about a week now, when I walk past the teasels in Turnpike Field, early in the morning, I have seen at least a dozen goldfinches feeding on them. I keep trying to take a photo but they are very shy.
Saw this in The Times today, it's an interesting concept

I was perhaps premature in my comment and In view of something I missed before & recent comments here accept that our team here are part of a much larger effort to counteract this awful pestilence thats on us all. Let us all do as were asked and keep safe for our community. Ive never known a better one
I took my father yesterday for the Covid vaccination + like others have already said the whole process worked very well. Numerous people were helping from aiding parking, directing where to go and checking details. Nantwich Civic Hall is an ideal location. Thanks must go to all the medics & admin staff who have enabled this to happen.
Mother-in-Law had the vaccine yesterday at Nantwich – she has had no side effects and the whole process was very efficient.
I agree with Bob Mc,
I had a telephone appointment ,which after discussion meant I had to attend the Centre,. which was offered by mid afternoon. Had the surgery had to vaccinate with the Pfizer vaccine they would have had to process 900+ people in 24-48 hours before the vaccine lost its potency,meaning doses having to be wasted. To me it makes sense to use the civic hall at Nantwich to maximise throughput and vaccine. Once the Oxford/Zenica arrives it is a different story as it can be stored at+5 to +8 C.unlike the Pfizer which has to be stored at -70C in batches of approx 900 doses and takes far longer to reconstitute for use. We should be grateful for the efforts being made to vaccinate as many as possible of us oldies to free up resources for the younger generation
Pleased to report that I had my first vaccine in Nantwich yesterday, along with a number of other people from Audlem. No ill effects apart from a sore arm.
Civic Hall very busy but plenty of helpers and well organised when I went.
People from Audlem are being vaccinated.I can name at least 5 people who went to the Civic centre yesterday.
We were in Nantwich yesterday and observed a steady flow of people through the Civic Hall. Part of the car park is free and reserved for those with vaccination apps. Other spaces limited to M & S and by library bits so if able to walk to shops I would use another car park. I believe at least one Audlem resident was vaccinated yesterday.
Dear Aaron
Given I'm further down the surname list than you, may I adopt your great idea.
Yours
Aaronetta Aardvark
Having been at the back of any surname-based queue all my life, I have decided that the time has come, with a queue of potentially several million for the jab, to change my name to Aaron Aardvark.
In defence of Audlem Surgery I think Mr. Dickinson should have read AOL before making his post, as I recall the Medical Practice published a story about this at the end of last year.
Surely the logistics of giving the vaccination to so many people requires large centres to efficiently maximise resources. How many clinicians are there in Audlem who can give the vaccine without there being a significant detrimental effect on other health services?
Let's hope this all progresses as quickly and efficiently as possible, despite us seeming to have the most incompetent Goverment (especially over this issue) in my long lifetime.
It's like this Robert Nantwich is a designated hub for a few Medical Practices, Therefore we have to attend the Civic Hall in Nantwich at our allotted time slot I suggest we all give thanks and praise to Audlem Medical Practice for their combined efforts , skill and dedication to our health and well being during these difficult times This must have been one difficult logistic excersise to say the least , If we clap for heroes this evening thin of our Surgery Staff
Young black and white cat seen wandering around Mill Lane over the past few days – clearly lost. I haven't seen the cat myself, but have been asked by others if I know who it belongs to. Please contact Audlem online for information.
I have not heard of anyone in the village getting either vaccine yet. I have checked with a friend who is over 80 and thus before us in the queue and they have heard nothing yet.
Please don't keep us in the dark, it is a difficult task I daresay but it would be good to be informed of progress, or even lack of it.
How lovely to be walking back home when I passed two groups of children from Audlem school and everyone of them said thank you when I stepped aside to give us space. Well done parents and teachers. It was very uplifting..
Oh dear. Have the puzzles finished again now? I was so happy when they returned but it seems we have had the same sudoku for 3 or 4 days now. I can do it really quickly!
I'm sure the surgery will comment but the CV19 vaccination programme is to be delivered at a Primary Care Network level ( groups of practices rather than singularly). This was the request from government and was designed to minimise the number of delivery locations for the Vaccine; particularly the Pfizer vaccine that can not easily be stored or transported. I'd be surprised if Audlem surgery had the required freezer storage. The AZ vaccine is easier to transport and store but not yet widely available. Whilst the government may talk of a rapid programme the reality is that this is a much bigger programme than flu jabs, with longer appointments, to be delivered in a shorter timeframe and with ( so far) sporadic supplies. Staffed by exhausted NHS staff. There will I am sure be other arrangements for care homes and other hard to reach groups but having a centre on Nantwich is logical.
I was wondering if anybody could recommend any job openings in the audlem or surrounding area. I am 22. I have previous experience in retail sales. I am willing to work hard in any role. I have my own car and a full manual driving Licence.
Rather disappointed that our medical centre isnt on the Cheshire East list for Covid vaccinations considering the number of residents in the village and surrounding area that are in the upper age bracket like myself , or that are vulnerable or shielding, that have now got to get to Nantwich as the nearest vaccination centre. I though we had all the facilities here with the annex hardly being used at the moment and storage of the Oxford vaccine presenting no problems. Perhaps a comment from our superb medical team might by forthcoming as to why they were overlooked, as I understood that the policy was to get to as many people in the shortest time. Or do Cheshire East actually think were part of Shropshire ?
I to can recommend Andy Cunliff. His mobile No is 07956625960. He has don e work for me in the past . very good, very helpfull
