Went down 'Memory Lane' (or, perhaps in my case..Forgettory Lane) last night with a couple of ex Audlem residents and Hankelow was mentioned. I asked them to tell me where a shop used to be and of course they said Mr's Timmis' Shop at the start of Longhill Lane. I said there was another shop in Hankelow (probably after Mrs Timmis closed her shop) and neither could remember it or where it was. Excluding the Petrol Station; does anyone remember where the shop was or, have I dreamed it? P.S. I know where I think it was...just need someone to tell me they remember it as well or for me to stop eating cheese before I go to bed.

Madison Spa in Nantwich are good.

Absolutely flabbergasted to learn this weekend that a 'coach' from Audlem Saints FC is organising a competitive game for some of their CHILDREN that will be against FULLY GROWN ADULTS. Aren't these 'coaches' supposed to hold some sort of child welfare certificates for their roles? Times aren't what they used to be but there are measures in place these days for a reason. Safeguarding of our local kids can't be compromised

Can anyone recommend A LEATHER restorer please. Have a leather sofa that has been bleached by the sun!

Hi,
Could anyone recommend a local roofer please? I know this has been asked before but I didnt need one at the time
Thanks

I myself and I'm sure many of you are all gravely concerned about the climate emergency that we face. With that in mind can it really be right to chop carbon catching oxygen producing trees down then cover them in plastic covered lights ran of electric produced with fossil fuels for no other benefit than looking pretty. We must understand we are at a critical stage with saving our planet maybe we should be more concerned about that then a pretty but dead tree in the village

With the current Couch to 5k graduation just two weeks away, We are putting the feelers out there to see if there would be enough demand to run another 10 week course starting on January the 7th every Saturday morning at 9:45AM.

If there is a positive response I can get the application in ASAP to use turnpike field again.

Please contact me via audlem.store@pau.co.uk or call the shop to let us know your interest.

Again the course will be £10 for the 10 weeks and all funds going to a local charity.

Thank you kindly.

ABC Childcare Services, on the grounds of Audlem St James (CoE) School are excited to announce that we will be having a recruitment evening on Thursday the 24th of November at 6:15pm.
If you, or anyone you know wants to come along, meet the team and have us answer any of your recruitment questions, please do come along.

We look forward to seeing you there.

First I'd like to wish Ralph a speedy recovery and return to front line duties
Secondly, it very decent of Ralph to offer to return people's pledges, but I hope they choose to donate the cash anyway.
Some people may not be aware that hospices only get around 10% of their funding from the government – the rest they have to generate themselves through fundraising.
It's also not commonly understood they do much more than provide end of life care. During my wife's journey with Motor Neurone Disease St Luke's provided vital support to us both, including complimentary therapies, carer support and respite care. They continue to support me after my wife's passing with bereavement support.
The staff and volunteers there are superb but times are tight for them, so please do what you can to support them.

Good News! Airband have emailed both me and Audlem PC suggesting a virtual meeting to discuss the works that Airband are carrying out in Audlem and the clarification required with the delivery of the fibre.

Please forward any questions/concerns; I am hopeful the meeting will be before the end of November.

thank you judy will ring him xx

Don't forget animals other than dogs will probably be relieving themselves in Turnpike Field.
A number of years ago someone in the village began spray painting poo on roads with the message "pick it up". Unfortunately on more than one occasion the offending offering was fox poo.

I think I might have got the answer to Colins puzzle but, I don't want to spoil it for other people so; Colin. I wish they would change.....location, that is! ;-)

I recommend Tim at Astro Aerials – 07751 041156. Reliable, tidy and not too heavy with the pen !

Judy is right: there are people who believe it is perfectly acceptable to let their dogs poo in Turnpike because 'it's a field '. I watched a family group the other day nonchalantly walking by as their dog relieved itself. Naturally, I (politely, I thought) drew their attention to this but they thought I was being rude. Note to self: improve dog-poo warden skills.

It was certainly flooded yesterday (15/11/2022) in the usual place i.e., the old railway bridge.

It's quite a simple formula to calculate if Swanbach Ford is running high. If it is or has been raining then it is. If it has rained a lot the CE Highways will again close the road at even more expense to them and all road users. I intend to submit a FOI request as to how much the refusal to repair one broken pipe has so far cost us taxpayers.

hi my aerial has stopped working does anyone know someone local i can call thank you marcia

Please could someone tell me whether Green Lane is currently flooded (or about to be)?
Thanks

Hi Ian – unfortunately there are some (thankfully rare) dog owners (we call them the "entitled classes") who think it is perfectly acceptable to allow their dog(s) to run loose on the field while they are busy on their mobile phones and / or sit on the picnic benches admiring the view- and have clearly no intention of clearing up any dog mess their animal may produce. Often the same people who announce "oh it's OK -my dog is harmless" after they finally notice their dog is harassing my rescue dog (on a lead) who is clearly NOT OK with unwanted attention. Sometimes it's the same people who think it is perfectly acceptable to bring their dogs to 'toilet' on the village playing field !? Or take their dog into the cemetery walking past the large NO DOGS sign – why ? Because they are entitled of course.

Don't see Audlem getting a mention in "The Times" too often but there we are on p21 today in an article about the growing trend for "sharing" menus.
Linden Stores is featured complete with photo though the author of the report does admit that "The Observer" was first to interview the co-owner of the restaurant.

To whom it may concern.
My 4 year old Grandson and myself do not appreciate your dog faeces being left on Turnpike field.
I appreciate that dogs are fun; chasing sticks, balls etc... and being a dog owner is relatively easy.
However being a RESPONSIBLE dog owner takes slightly more effort. But please try it.....

A needle, ice cube and wine bottle cork. Worked for me 43 years ago....

Could anybody please recommend a contractor in the area that provides a tractor mounted hedge cutting service?

Many thanks :-)
