BAD VIBRATIONS!

F O R M BY residents have voiced their concernsafter being awoken by noise and vibrations inthe early hours caused, they claim, byconstruction work at Burbo Bank wind farm.

Work at the site, located just off the Sefton coast,began on June 1, but days into the scheme, someresidents in Formby reported strange vibrations.

One resident, Paul Smith, said: I live in Formbyand was woken at 5:30 one morning by the noise ofpile-driving for the new Burbo Bank wind farmextension .

“At the time I reported the noise to the local coun-cil believing it to be rogue construction activitywithin Formby/Hightown.

“The council informed me that the noise was con-

struction at Burbo Bank. Sefton Council inform methat they have a 24 hour permit for this activity.”

A total of 32 additional wind turbines are beingconstructed using monopile foundations – the pil-ing process believed to be responsible for the noiseheard by residents.

Dong Energy, the company undertaking theworks, have been made aware of the complaintsand are taking steps to ensure further works do notcause excessive disturbance.

The company say they have investigated the noiseand vibration complaints and pinpoint a number offactors including recent weather conditions, winddirection and the high level of energy required todrive the particular pile required.

A spokesman for Sefton Council said: “We havereceived a small number of complaints regardingthe offshore piling noise as part of the Burbo Bankwind farm extension.

“Consent for the work to take place was given bythe Government and the Crown Estate to DongEnergy and as the work is being carried out off-shore, our powers are quite limited.”

Voters head to pollsfor EU ReferendumSTAY OR GO... leave orremain... yes or no... finally,tomorrow, Thursday, June 23,the nation will deliver itsverdict on the great Eurodebate.

The EU Referendum willdecide whether we stay part ofthe European Union or leave.

The arguments have beenraging for weeks and at pollingstations across the borough, res-idents will get the chance to casttheir vote.

People will be asked on the bal-lot slip the following question:

Should the United Kingdomremain a member of the EuropeanUnion or leave the EuropeanUnion?

The vote has been billed the

most important decision in a gen-eration and there are three wayspeople can vote: at the pollingstation, by post, or by proxy.

Those voting at the polling sta-tion will have received a pollingcard telling them where theirpolling station is. They don't needto take the polling card to thepolling station. Polling stationswill be open from 7am to 10pm.

The returning officer in Seftonis Margaret Carney who is the

chief executive of Sefton Council.The deadline for registering tovote online had to be extended by48 hours after the websitecrashed because of the hugedemand of people trying to use itin the hours before the deadlineon Tuesday, June 7.

The Prime Minister DavidCameron and 16 members of hiscabinet want Britain to remain inthe EU. The Labour Party, the LibDems, the SNP and Plaid Cymruall want Britain to remain.

However, five cabinet ministers,half of Conservative MPs, severalprominent Labour MPs and theDemocratic Unionist Party allwant Britain to leave the EU. Thecampaign for Britain to leave theEU (Brexit) is being led by BorisJohnson MP and Michael Gove –the Lord Chancellor and Secret-ary of State for Justice.

But the final decision will bedown to the British public.

Bad vibrations from Burbo Bank wind farmFrom page 1“However we are monitoring the situ-

ation and discussions with DongEnergy are on-going.”

Alan Price, of Dong Energy said: “Off-shore construction recently started atour Burbo Bank Extension wind farm,located off Liverpool Bay. The firststage involves piling the foundationsfor the turbines into the seabed.

“This work can cause some noise sowe have provided information aboutthis at a number of public locations inthe area and have held public exhibi-tions to explain to local people what isgoing on.

“We are also continually measuringthe noise and vibrations at three loca-tions around the coast.

“We are aware of specific concern

about the timing of piling work under-taken on the first weekend. Weapologised for any disturbance causedand immediately reviewed the sched-ule for this work with a view tomitigating future issues.

“We hope the impact from the noiseand vibration will be reduced goingforward. We plan to finish all of the pil-ing work by the end of July.”

Prehistoric footprintsof long lost giants arefound on Formby beach

A TEAM of crack archeologists arecurrently analysing the recentlydiscovered footprints of long lostprehistoric giants on Formby beach.

The crew from Manchester Universitynow face a race against the tide to analyseand document an exposed sediment bedwhich has so far revealed a host of prehis-toric footprints including that of themighty Auroch, thousands of Red Deerand those of early human settlers whoonce lived along the Formby sand dunes.

Led by archaeologist Alison Burns, whois no stranger to the history of the areahaving written numerous texts on FortCrosby and the Prehistoric Footprints atFormby, the team have already logged 58human footprints and over 2,000 RedDeer prints, frozen for thousands of yearsin the dried mud.

A spokesperson for the Sefton CoastalLandscape Partnership team told TheChampion: “A superb sediment bed full ofprehistoric footprints on Formby beach iscurrently being studied by a team fromManchester University.

“The bed, which is over 90m long,

stretches like a who's who of the Meso-lithic period along the beach - anincredible find!

“The trails of Aurochs, Crane and WildBoar have also been found, with the teamplanning on measuring and loggingeverything on the site over the next week.

“This is a window into prehistory - walk-ing alongside it and seeing the imprints ofhuman toes, or the vast "plinth" tracks ofmighty Aurochs is a remarkable experi-ence.

“All too soon though the tide, wind andsand will claim them - but not beforeAlison and the team have recorded what'sthere for posterity!”

one is it obvious that force wasused to gain entry.

“That was in in Moss SideFormby where a VolkswagonPassatt car was also stolen. Theother locations were Ince Cres-cent, Larkhill Lane and VictoriaRo a d .

“Most burglars are opportun-ists, so can I urge everyone totake those extra few minutes toensure property is secure atnight especially ground floordoors and windows.

“The car taken during theburglary was recovered on Tues-day, June 14 in Liverpool and a27 year old male, AnthonyCritchlow, from Kirkby, wasarrested and has been chargedwith dangerous driving.

A touch of Arielhelps brighten uplittle mermaid!HARD working volunteers donned their rubbergloves and broke out the brillo pads to helpscrub up and rejuvenate a long forgotten butmuch-loved Lord Street statue.

The Lord Street Gardens Mermaid had, until lastweek, not been cleaned properly in over ten yearsand had succumbed to the perils of weather dam-age, leaving it in a sorry state.

That was until volunteers from the Lord Street InBloom team got out their strongest cleaning equip-ment and set about giving a new lease of life to thepopular fountain.

Algae, years of being exposed to the elements andgenerally being unloved had left the mermaid inpoor condition – and the mini pool she sat in did not

fare much better in terms of aesthetics. However ina joint operation between contractors from SeftonCouncil, The Princes Trust and the Lord Street InBloom volunteers, both the pool and the statuewere brought back to former glory.

A water feature near to the London Street monu-ment was also drained and cleaned out, withcontractors removing at least twenty bags of weeds,duck faeces and rubbish from the bottom of thewaterbed.

Volunteer coordinator Pauline Morris told TheChampion: “Lord Street In Bloom volunteers werejoined by The Princes Trust in planting up theflower beds around the Mermaid Fountain.

“The fountain has been emptied and cleaned andnow it looks so much better.

“The Soroptomist Society paid for all the beddingplants and many thanks to Sootys Plants for deliver-ing them.”

One out, one inat Sports DirectB O SS E S at Sports Direct say they hope to havetheir new complex on Tulketh Street open forbusiness by August.

Closing down notices have already been placedin the windows of the existing Sports Direct storeon Central 12 ahead of the completion and grandlaunch of a brand new multi-purpose site in theTown Centre.

The huge Tulketh Street sports clothing retailerwill also feature a state of the art gym – howeverit is not yet known what will happen to the emptyproperty that will be left behind on Central 12.

The Champion broke the news in Februaryrevealing how Sports Direct had acquired thehuge 68,000 square foot complex and now planshave been officially passed by the local authorityto green light the development.

Tulketh Street has been a huge thorn in theresort's side for years having also previously beenhome to Morrisons, Lewis of Southport, BrandInteriors, and Wynsors World Of Shoes.

The building has been lying empty since it wasabandoned by Brand Interiors in May 2015, butnow the sports equipment and clothing retailerwill begin plans to transform it into one of theirnew state-of-the-art fitness centres.

Often been described as cursed ever since it wasput up for sale by Morrisons in 2004, the buildinghas failed to hold down any occupant for anylength of time.

MP John Pugh said: “It is a big boost for theWesley Street traders who have needed ananchor development in Tulketh Street for sometime.”

MP reveals violencethreats followingshooting of Jo Cox

MP BILL Esterson has spoken about threats ofviolence he has faced himself in Sefton followingthe tragic murder of MP Jo Cox.

The MP said he has previously been threatenedwith a baseball bat, shoved in the chest and his staffhave also been on the receiving end of verbalabuse.

More focus has been placed on the safety of politi-cians following the death of Jo Cox MP, a 41-year-old mother of two, who was shot and stabbed in herconstituency in Yorkshire on Thursday, June 16.

Thomas Mair was later arrested and charged withher murder.

Calls have been made to bring greater protectionfor politicians and Mr Esterson has spoken about hisown experiences in dealing with abusive people.

He said: “Since Jo Cox was murdered, I have hadmany messages from people to express condol-ences, support and love for Jo and her family.

“Sadly there is another reaction - a very sinisterreaction from a small number of people.

A man screamed at me this afternoon (Monday,June 20). He told me I was a disgrace and that I haddestroyed his community.

“Apart from having no idea what he meant, I triedto remind him that my colleague had beenmurdered, and that his behaviour was completelyout of order.

“He just ignored what I said and continued to beextremely abusive at me.

“It appears that he has previously been abusive toa local councillor several times.

“Meanwhile, my staff have been threatened bysomeone who says he will come to my office with abaseball bat.

“Twice, constituents have shouted at me in the

street and then started shoving me in the chest.“And yet this is as nothing compared to what some

of my colleagues around the country have experi-enced, especially threats against women and viciousracism, which is all too common. And that’s beforementioning those threatened with rape and death.

“Those in the media, in politics in public life moregenerally understand that something has gone veryw ro n g .

“What has Britain become if we do not change theway we carry on our public debates?

“Jo’s husband, Brendan said we must unite to fightagainst the hatred that killed Jo.

That means all of us in public life must change theway we work, the language we use and the examplewe set.

After all, as Jo showed us, it is amazing what wecan achieve when we work together.”

Report by Tom Martin

MP Jo Cox who was murdered last week.

Bill says he has faced many challenges in his constituency

We bid a fondfarewell to Sue

WE read in the current issue of the parish magazineof St Stephen’s Church, Hightown, a memberchurch of our Churches Together, that the ReverendSue Smith, the Minister of St Stephen’s has retired.

A warm – and well deserved -tribute is paid to herin this current issue by John Gibson, Reader at StS t e p h e n’s.

It is with mixed feelings that we say goodbye tothe Reverend Sue early in April when she retires.Mixed feelings because I am sure we will miss hervery greatly, but at the same time we wish her a longand happy retirement.

In the period of time that Reverend Sue has beenhere, we have enjoyed a period of growth and theblessings of her ministry. I am going to miss her verytouching homilies and Yorkshire humour. ReverendSue is so ‘p re s e n t ’ and always there for people. Sheknow what is about, its joys and struggles. Becauseshe is such a religious woman of prayer. She knowswhat God’s love is all about, full of mercy, forgive-ness, hope, healing and filled with joy.

Reverend Sue’s leadership stems from her love ofGod and for his parishioners.

She always listens to the needs of parishioners.She is passionate in all she does within the parish,and this is reflected in our growth in numbers, themany ministries she established and her interactionwith the Church family and village.

Now she is retiring, and going to live in Formby,we still hope she will stay in touch. If we could cloneReverend Sue, what a blessing for the world!

Thanks to Reverend Sue’s excellent work, we arebetter prepared than we ever have been.

Village vets arehopping mad forrabbit week!VILLAGE Vets in Formby isgoing hopping mad this Junewith free rabbit health checksto mark Rabbit AwarenessWeek (RAW).

The practice on Brows Lane,Formby is urging rabbit owners tobring their bunny for a full“MOT ” with a vet free of chargeto help raise awareness of rabbitwelfare. They are also offeringreduced price vaccinations anddiscounts on a range of rabbitcare products.

This year’s RAW campaign,organised by Burgess Pet Care, isfocused on the importance ofcompanionship for hutch anim-als, asking rabbit owners to pairup their pets with rescued rabbitsfrom animal rescue centres.

Lead vet and practice owner,Kate Higgins said: “Rabbits arethe third most popular pet in theUK but their needs can be com-plex and many owners are notaware of things such as their idealdiet and their need for compan-ionship. We hope that by offeringa free health check we can notonly advise owners in how tokeep their rabbits in the best ofphysical health but how to caterfor their behavioural needs too.”

Suzanne Moyes, veterinarymanager at Burgess Pet Care, one

of the UK’s leading pet food man-ufacturers, said she wasdelighted at the number of eventsand activities taking place aroundthe UK for this year’s RAW.

“T h e re ’s a lot of myths and mis-information surrounding rabbitwelfare so it’s wonderful to see somany people come out and sup-port RAW and help put rabbits’needs under the microscope,” shesaid. “The welfare of hutch anim-als often takes a back seat toother pets and we hope throughthis week’s activities we canimprove and understand more

about the diet, housing and beha-viour of these highly intelligent,social, interactive and funcreatures. And, above all, ensurethey all have a bunny buddy oftheir own. Let’s stop rabbits get-ting a raw deal!”

RAW is an annual event thatbrings together vets, pet retailers,welfare charities, manufacturersand owners to educate peopleabout proper rabbit care. OfficialRAW partners include: BurgessExcel, Panacur Rabbit, RSPCA,PDSA, The Blue Cross and theRabbit Welfare Association.

Resort theatre bossesexplain policy ondancing in the aisles!B O SS E S at Southport Theatrehave explained their policy ondancing during shows after atheatre-goer complained toThe Champion that staff werestopping people dancing.

Jeremy White, from Worcester,had gone to watch Dancing inthe Streets at Southport Theatreand claimed theatre staff were‘heavy handed’ when members ofthe audience got up to dance.

He wrote: “As a visitor to yourtown I had to comment on ournight at Dancing in the Streets.Probably because of ‘health andsafety ’ the theatre staff insidewere totally heavy-handed,obtrusive and disruptive whenmembers of the audience got upto dance in their seats.

“Two special need groupsenjoying the music were espe-cially embarrassed if they daredto touch the aisles – all at eyelevel for everyone to see.

“The usher literally ran to sub-due them taking all eyes off thes h o w. ”

But Lisa Chu, general managerat Southport Theatre and Con-vention Centre told theChampion: “It’s obviously verydisappointing to receive anycomplaint about the venue as westrive really hard to give the bestcustomer service that we can toall of our guests and create thesafest environment possible.

“This is why for theatre showswe operate a ‘house majority’policy for guests who wish todance, so in effect if the majorityof the audience would like to getup then we will run with that butif not then we work actively tomove the guests who do wish todance into alternative seats

where they can move around.The reason for this is that a lot ofour guests do not wish to danceand expect to have an uninter-rupted view of the stage so theycan fully enjoy the show and asyou can appreciate they can’t dothis if somebody is standing updancing in front of them.

“By allowing those guests anuninterrupted view and thosewho wish to dance a dedicatedarea to do so then we hope thatwe have kept all of our customershappy because that is always ourprime objective.

“I’m sorry if the guests in ques-tion felt we were being heavyhanded, it certainly was not ourintention but during showswhere you have conflictingrequests from customers, it isnecessary to interact quicklywith the guests to ensure every-body has the opportunity toenjoy the show.”

Poor hotels give visitors abad impression of the townRe: Champion article about the worst hotels inSouthport.

We booked into the Scarisbrick hotel in Augustlast year for four nights’ half board.

The room we were allocated on arrival was littlemore than a cupboard with no window.

We asked to be moved and eventually wereoffered an acceptable room overlooking the bins.

The first evening’s meal was inedible so wedecided that we would only have B&B and askedfor a refund of the amount we had paid for theevening meals.

Breakfast on the first morning was just as badand the dining room staff were not at all helpful,actually bordering on hostile.

The hotel was very dated, very dirty and recep-tion staff were as bad as the dining room staff.

Believe me, we were glad to leave after the fournights.

I wrote to Britannia Hotels head office with my

complaints and eventually received a reply, inwhich they said my complaint had been passed tothe hotel management and I would receive a replywithin a few weeks.

I’m still waiting!I might add that we were here house hunting

from Scotland and if we had been strangers toSouthport we would have re-located elsewherebut not everyone in Southport is as bad-manneredas the staff at the Scarisbrick.

We are now settled into our new home and areenjoying Southport life but it is a pity that manyvisitors to Southport will encounter such a badimpression of the people.

Please keep reporting such incidences as thatway maybe, just maybe, some attitudes willchange.

Dogs are allowed torun free in cemeteryRe: Letter about vehicles that may bebanned from Duke Street Cemetery.

It mentions all the things that maybe costing Sefton Council money i.e.repairs to roads in the cemetery andmaintenence to the graves, etc.

However, there is no mention of thedozens of dogs which roam in there.

A lot of them are on a long lead andseveral are allowed to run free – andthe whole place is covered in dogmuck.

Most of the car drivers are elderlyand use the car to carry flowers andtools to tend to their loved ones’graves.

Name and address supplied,Birkdale.

Please keepyour pets coolWith the arrival of warmer weather, weshould be reminded that animals cansuffer and die.

Dogs die in hot cars (even if the sun isnot shining) and should not be left inthem even for short periods.

Other animals suffer, too. Rabbitsmust not be left in the glaring sun orinside a sweltering garage or shed.

They need a cool, shady place whereair circulates and where they are ableto move freely.

A hot rabbit can be kept cool by apply-ing cold water gently to its ears.

Smaller animals such as hamsters,rats and gerbils can be kept cool byopening windows and closing curtains,using a fan (but not directly at them),and by ensuring a good supply of freshw a t e r.

NHS is one ofmost efficienthealth systemsin the worldA letter writer to the Champion offers privat-isation and a reduction in working conditionof doctors as solutions to improve NHS effi-c i e n c y.

The NHS is one of the most efficient healthsystems on earth.

The Commonwealth Fund in 2014 ranked itthe safest, highest quality and most equitablesystem in the developed world.

In a recent Yougov poll, 73% said the NHSwas our greatest national achievement.

Since 1948, NHS funding has increased byan average of 4% a year - we have an ageingpopulation with multiple illnesses and med-ical research is delivering new effective andexpensive treatments.

Since 2010 NHS funding has been starved toonly 0.9%/year, social care has been cut by20% in Sefton in real terms and every indic-ator of NHS performance is falling.

We now spend a lower proportion on healththan any other developed country.

Doctors' pay has been cut 14% since 2007.Nurses' pay has fallen similarly. MPs have

awarded themselves an 11% pay rise, despiteMr Cameron’s pre-election promise not to doit.

Is it any wonder, as Dr Goldthorpe writes,that we are struggling to recruit and retain thebest and brightest staff?

The NHS should be properly funded, notstarved to death by a thousand cuts.

The solution of privatisation has utterlyfailed.

Private companies cherry pick the most prof-itable, low risk jobs and leave the rest of theNHS struggling.

It should also be noted that half of privatehealthcare companies are Tory donors andformer Conservative Health ministers Lansleyand Bottomly both found work in privateh e a l t h c a re .

Who will lose out most from NHS privatisa-tion and Tory cuts? Patients. The NHS is itss t a f f.

We need your support now more than ever.

Dr Alex Stockdale,Medical Registrar,Maghull

Council waste money by sending outspecial vehicles to collect our binsI read in the Champion that we are to get a new calendarfor the bin collection.

I hope it is better than the last one.We have quite a lot of trouble getting our brown and

green bins emptied.Last year I had to ring up quite a few times as the

vehicle went past our road without collecting them.One man with the vehicle said we are not on their

schedule.The last time they missed our road I rang up (June 7)

and was told they would be round soon.On June 12 I rang a councillor to tell her the grey bin

also had still not been collected.They came on Wednesday, June 15 and emptied all the

bins into one vehicle!They send a special vehicle up our road every Wednes-

day to empty two bins and the farm by us which has avery good road to it and a large turning yard.

The ordinary bin lorry would be able to manoeuvre eas-i l y.

As a farm tractor with very large equipment and trailorloaded with bales of hay manages our road easily I don’tsee the problem that the normal size bin lorry has.

The council are always talking about saving ratepayersmoney but are wasting it sending out special vehicles.

Advertorial

Magnus Legal explains what you should know…Many people approaching retirement age may be considering a divorce.

In fact, over 15,000 of the British people who separate from their partners

every year are over the age of 60 – a fi gure seven times higher than it was

in the 1950s.

Splitting from someone to whom you may have been married for a long

time will be an emotional and complicated choice with many things to

consider. One aspect that may need to be contemplated is the impact it

will have on your hard-earned pension pot.

In a divorce, your pension may be seen as an asset no different from

any other. It could be treated the same way your home, vehicles or

possessions are.

Although it is not always part of the divorce settlement, it is particularly

common in cases where one partner has opted to stay at home and raise

children. As they were unable to contribute to their own pension, a court

may feel they are entitled to a share of yours.

You risk losing a signifi cant amount of money if you do not prepare for

this. However, by instructing a knowledgeable divorce solicitor like ours

at Magnus Legal, we can advise you about how your pension may be

affected and offer some viable solutions.

For instance, if the court decides this is the case, a solicitor can assist

with the Pension Sharing Order. This is when you are required to share

the amount of your pension with your spouse. It is the most common

outcome when a pension becomes part of the settlement.

The exact amount that is shared will depend on a number of variables:

the length of the marriage, each person’s fi nancial standing, children who

may be affected, your ages, and much more. A lawyer will help represent

your case so the pension is divided fairly with your interests in mind.

You may also have the option to offset the cost against other assets of a

similar value. If you have a pension you want to retain, a solicitor may be

able to help you negotiate a deal whereby your spouse receives other

assets to the value of your pension.

Regardless of how it is done, having to split your pension can be quite

devastating, especially for people who have worked all their lives to save

this money for when they retire. It can often be one of the most valuable

assets you own.

Magnus Legal’s team can help you through the stressful process during

this diffi cult time.

For all new enquiries, contact our 24/7 helpline on 0330 321 1105.

A BROTHER and sister have raised £9,074 for theStroke Association after completing a Coast toCoast challenge in aid of the charity.

Barbara Cheetham, 63, and her brother David, 67,were inspired to raise funds for the Stroke Associ-ation after their father had a stroke in August 1996at the age of 58.

Barbara, who lives in Formby is a member of theSouthport Fundrasing Group, which primarily raisesmoney for the Stroke Association, and David com-pleted the 190 mile Wainwrights Walk from St Bee’sHead in Cumbria to Hood’s Bay in Yorkshire in April2016.

Barbara said: “After seeing first-hand the devastat-ing impacts of stroke I was keen to do as much as Icould to help others facing similar situations. TheStroke Association is an incredible charity andprovides invaluable support to stroke survivors andtheir families.

“My brother and I are absolutely delighted to haveraised such a substantial amount of money for afantastic cause.

In or out? We should be theauthors of our own fortunesBY now we have all probably got the ideathat tomorrow (Thursday, June 23) is themost important opportunity we will ever have

to use our vote. I rather think that most of youwill have a pretty good idea how I will cast myvote. I have said for years, long before it was

at all fashionable, that the quicker we get outfrom under the dead hand of the EuropeanUnion, the better.

I am not an economist, I don’t have rows offigures and statistics at my fingertips. On thissubject I have no political axe to grind. I justhave a visceral gut certainty that the fate ofthe United Kingdom should be in our hands,not in the grasp of an army of unelected free-loaders. After all, if we took back our dwind-ling sovereignty and decided at any point thatour government was going the wrong way,whether over immigration or taxation, we canalways vote it out – try that on for size inBrussels!

And it seems to me that all the ‘Re m a i n’group has to offer (apart from more of thesame) are threats and the possibility of whatbasically comes to revenge from the EUshould we decide to leave.

We are told that ‘important’ members of theEU, Germany and France in particular, wantus to stay in the Club. Why? Because they likeus? Well, they’ve shown precious little sign ofthat over the last few hundred years. Soagain, why?

The answer, of course, is that Great Britain isa major world player still and they are terri-fied that should we break away this wouldprompt several other countries whose people(if not their governments) are fed up with EUred tape and diktats and might very well fol-low suit.

Who now thinks that joining the Euro wouldhave been a good idea? I bet most of the‘Re m a i n’ zealots did at the time! These are thesame people now trying to scare us into sub-mission by banging on about the risksinvolved in leaving. Quite apart from the factthat there are risks involved in maintainingthe status quo, the man or woman who nevertook a risk, never achieved anything.

And some of these supposed ‘risks’ look alittle wobbly to me. We are told that AirbusIndustries warn about possible job losses ifwe leave.

Would they have an Airbus without wings, orperhaps the Spanish could simply churn out awing or two?

Gut instincts

And would Airbus tell a prospective cus-tomer: “Sorry, you can’t have Rolls Royceengines, we’ve fallen out with the Brits so youcan have what we tell you!” Of course not.Would Volkswagen or Mercedes want to turntheir backs on their largest export market (us)just so swingeing tariffs could be applied toour exports to Europe? Not on your nelly!

And a quick word about immigration. Itseems to me (although in the TV debates I'veseen no-one has had the courage to say so)that EU immigration laws could easily betermed ‘racist’. Because since we have toabide by the free movement of peoples fromwithin the EU, the only possible way to con-trol immigration is to limit the number ofpeople from outside. So we miss out onhighly-trained Asians and Africans – evenHavard allumni – who wish to work here. Imay be being simplistic, but it seems to methat if we are going to favour any one groupof peoples over another, then surely weshould be looking at those from former Britishcolonies first?

One of my mother’s most irritating traitswas to tell me when something awful hadhappened to upset the serenity of my life: “It'syour own fault!” And of course, it was themore irritating because she was right.

But I would rather by far find myself in themire because of my own error than to be in asimilar place because I had blindly followedorders and gone against my own gut instincts.

I will vote ‘Out’ tomorrow, if only so this stillgreat country of ours can make its own mis-takes – and hopefully be the author of its owntriumphs.

Vets in warning todog owners ofAlabama Rot threat

DOG owners in Sefton arebeing urged to take extraprecautions when out walkingtheir pets to help combat thedeadly disease, Alabama Rot.

The mysterious illness, whichfirst appeared in the late 1980saffecting greyhounds in America,has been found in at least 27counties in England and Walessince 2012, with 78 cases con-firmed in the UK and 14 alreadyidentified this year.

Now vets are working together,to increase awareness and helpfind the causes, includingAlabama Rot experts AndersonMoores Veterinary Specialistsand Vets4Pets.

“The cause of Alabama Rot,clinically known as idiopathiccutaneous and renal glomerularvasculopathy (CRGV), is stillunknown and there is no knownway to prevent a dog from con-tracting the disease,” said DavidWalker, from Anderson Moores.

“While there is currently noknown way to prevent a dog fromgetting the disease, there is a veryuseful guide available online tohelp people understand where inthe UK confirmed cases havebeen found and advice on how tospot signs.

“Any concerned dog ownersshould visit www.vets4pets.com/s t o p - a l a b a m a - ro t / . ”

Vets4Pets is supporting theresearch work carried out byAnderson Moores Veterinary Spe-cialists to help understand thedisease, how it can be treated andpossibly prevented.

“The concern among vets in theUK is that, unlike the AlabamaRot that affected greyhounds inAmerica, the disease in the UKdoes not seem to target any spe-cific breed, age, sex or weight ofdog,” said Dr Huw Stacey, dir-ector of clinical services atVe t s 4 Pe t s .

“Treatment is supportive, but is

only successful in 20-30% ofcases, which is why we’re encour-aging all dog owners to use theonline interactive guide to helpthem understand the clinicalsigns and confirmed locations ofAlabama Rot.

“The first sign that is normallyseen is a skin sore that isn’tcaused by a known injury. Mostcommonly these sores are foundbelow the elbow or knee andappear as a distinct swelling, apatch of red skin or are open andu l c e r- l i ke .

“Any dog owners who are wor-ried that their pet might haveAlabama Rot should contact theirveterinary practice immediately.

Got a story? Champion News Desk: 01704 392 406 Rose Queendusts offher crownfor festival

TA R L E T O N ’S current Rose Queen and her loyalsubjects are dusting off their royal gowns andpolishing their party paraphernalia ahead of theannual Rose Queen event on June 25 – with alittle help from local housebuilder, BarrattHomes’ community fund, The LegacyP ro g r a m m e .

Organisers wrote to Barratt Manchester to ask fora permanent “home” to store its precious RoseQueen equipment, accumulated over many yearsand consisting of everything from marquees andbunting to crockery and costumes – p re v i o u s l ystored in an assortment of lofts and sheds across thevillage.

Barratt’s answer was to donate one its formermobile sales offices – which it also had painted tothe Rose Queen’s specifications, and also had it fit-ted with a secure lock to ensure the contents weresafe. Now known as the “Rose Queen Shed”, RoseQueen committee member, Janet Lynd, said:

“Over the years the committee has accumulated alarge amount of items that are available for loan bythe schools, church and other organisations. Wenow have so much to store it was becoming a hugeproblem for us to keep track of where everythingwas – to the extent that we had lost valuable items.

“It’s such a blessing to know that we won’t have tobe carting jugs, signs, tablecloths, paper plates, ban-quet rolls and all the rest of what we need by thevan and car load! This year it will all be ready wait-ing for us in the Rose Queen shed!

“At the end of event, as we pack up, exhaustedfrom the long day, all our equipment will go straightback into the one safe, dry storage container – whata relief!”

A £20,000 National ChurchesTrust Repair and CommunityGrant will help to secure thefuture of Holy Trinity church inHoghton Street with urgentlyneeded repairs and new visitorfacilities.

Holy Trinity church is one of 29churches and chapels in the UK tobenefit from the latest grantsfrom Trust, the UK church repairand support charity.

Broadcaster and Journalist HuwEdwards, Vice-President of theNational Churches Trust said:“I'm delighted that the future ofHoly Trinity church, Southport, isbeing safeguarded by a £20,000grant.

“At the heart of the nation’s his-tory and at the centre of localcommunities, churches andchapels are some of the UK's bestloved local buildings. But theirfuture is not guaranteed.”

“The financial and practicalsupport provided by the National

Churches Trust helps many of theUK ’s churches, chapels and meet-ing houses continue to flourish atthe heart of their communities bypreserving their architecture andkeeping their facilities up todate.”

Holy Trinity is a Grade II ListedEdwardian Gothic Revivalchurch, built between 1904 and1914 to cathedral-like propor-tions. Designed by the Scottisharchitect Huon Matear, alsoknown for the Neo-Classicalfaçade of the Liverpool CottonExchange, its red brick facing and

Westmoreland slate roofing istopped with gables and parapetsof Portland stone.

Many of the elaborate internaldecorative features are by the Artsand Crafts artists of the Broms-grove Guild. These include an oakand marble chancel screen; anelaborately carved reredos, oraltar screen; a black and whitemarble font.

On Historic England’s ‘HeritageAt Risk’ Register since August2014, urgent repairs are neededto the high level stone work andcrumbling masonry on parapets,buttresses, and windows, whichhave already necessitated theclosure of some paths around thebuilding.

The acoustics of the buildinghave enabled Holy Trinity’s devel-opment as a music venue. With anactive cathedral standard choir,Holy Trinity also hosts touringorchestras, visiting choirs, andrecitals. The goal is to create acommunity venue with a thrivingperforming arts programme, formusic, choral works, and theatre.

Work starts on renovation work at Holy Trinity Church, Southport.

Theatre group’s show signs wreckedA LOCAL amateur dramatics groupwere left furious after postersadvertising an upcoming show werestolen.

Southport Spotlights are gettingready to present their first show of theyear when they perform Boogie Nightsat the Little Theatre from today, (Wed-nesday) to Saturday, June 25.

However, preparations for the showhave been marred by a mystery thiefwho keeps tearing down and destroy-ing promotional posters for the show.

At least two 10ft banners have beentaken from around the town centre,

with show bosses baffled as to whocould have done it.

Checks with the council have con-firmed that the Local Authority havenothing to do with the removal of thebanners.

Andy Steel, spokesperson for theSouthport Spotlights group said: “Weare a small theatre group who put ontwo shows a year.“To advertise our shows we have a lim-

ited budget. The large part of that is thepurchase of 10ft by 3ft banners whichare placed around the town.“Unfortunately someone has mali-ciously removed and destroyed two ofthese banners. They are expensive andSouthport Spotlights Musical TheatreSociety can't afford to replace them.

“We have confirmed that it's not thelocal authorities who have removedthem; we are charged a site rental fee bySefton MBC for the privilege of placingthem there. Police have been informedof the theft and criminal damage.

“The missing banners were originally

placed on the park railings at HeskethPark at the junction of Park Road andQueens Road; and at the junction ofVerulam Road and Balmoral Drive.

“Apart from the cost of the banners,we have suffered from potential ticketsales being lost. It also gives us a certainamount of anxiety as to whether thiswill happen in the future.

“If people wish to book tickets for thisfabulously colourful, entertainingshow which is packed with over 30disco hits from the 1970's they shouldcall the Little Theatre Box Office on01704 530521.Southport Spotlight's Andy Steel with one of

Martin Mere news

Visit the web site www.wwt.org.uk/martinmere to fi nd out what’s on the reserve at the moment as well as all the upcoming events

Work has begun on a major new attraction: Wooded Wetlands at WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre. The new attraction is a complete redevelopment of the North American area of the waterfall gardens and will ultimately include a tepee encampment demonstrating how indigenous people lived sustainably in wetlands as a focal point for eventsand activities for children and adults. The attraction has been partly funded thanks to the generous support of playersof People’s Postcode Lottery. Grounds Manager, Steve Nasir, said: The fi rst stage of the project has been the renovation of the waterfall pen and this is now almost complete. The pen is now home to a number of buffl eheads, a diving sea duck. Part of the development has been to install a water fi ltration system so that the water is clear and you can see the diving ducks as they play and swim underwater ‘this is the fi rst time we have been able to show this behaviour at Martin Mere and it should be a very popular attraction. There will also be a forest boardwalk, central lake and tepee encampment.’ The swamps and forests in North America form a continuous ring of wetland

wilderness around the entire globe. They form the world’s largest biome and are the destination of choice for many breeding waterbirds. It’s experienced the biggest temperature change in the world over the last two decades and faces many threats. Many of the traditional ways of life are also under threat and visitors to Martin Mere’s wooded wetlands will learn about how local communities lived in tune with nature. The 4 exhibits will showcase the iconic species which rely on this biome such as seaduck and those duck species that actually nest within the forest canopy. The development is due to be completelater in 2016. WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre is open every day (except Christmas Day) from 9.30am to 6pm during summer months and parking is free of charge. Situated off the A59, it is signposted from the M61, M58 and M6. The Centre is also accessible via the Southport to Manchester and the Liverpool to Preston line by train from Burscough Rail Stations. Visit the web site http://www.wwt.org.uk/martinmere/ to fi nd out what’s on all year round at Martin Mere and the other eight WWT Wetland Centres.

Slattery bows out of US Openafter ‘disappointing’ third round

SOUTHPORT golfer Lee Slattery made the cut atthe US Open at Oakmont after two impressiverounds and eventually finished tied 57th on 14over par.

Slattery, 37, and Matthew Baldwin, also fromSouthport, who failed to make the cut, had quali-fied for the second golfing major of the year atWalton Health Golf Club last month.

After two rounds, Slattery was on level par withmajor champions Adam Scott and Louis Oosthuizenand was just four behind the halfway leader, andeventual winner, Dustin Johnson. Slattery's secondround 68 included four birdies, four bogeys and aneagle at the 12th after he chipped in.

However Slattery, who has two European Tourwins to his credit, was to drop shots over the finaltwo rounds and carded a 78 in round three and a 76in round four.

His 78 included no birdies and double bogeys atthe 6th and 12th. On his Twitter page he said he wasdisappointed with his third round, but added thathe had had a great week.

He commented that he was really looking forwardto getting back out to the European Tour and theBMW International Open.

This was the second US Open for Lee Slattery.His first US Open was at the Olympic Club in San

Francisco in 2012 when he missed the cut.Baldwin, 30, failed to make the cut at Oakmont

after rounds of 75 and 73 left him at eight over par.It was also his second US Open and he made the cutat the 2012 US Open at the Olympic Club.

The highlight of Slattery's game was a remarkablepitch-in for eagle at the 12th in the second round.

He said afterwards: “I hit a long drive down there,about 320 yards, and it meant I could have a go atthe green. I hit a nice three-wood. but it came up 10yards short of the green.

"But I hit a lovely little chip, little bit of check, andit seemed to take an eternity to get to the hole.

“I probably played it 15 or 20 feet left of the hole,and when it fell onto the green I thought it wasgoing to be close, but never expected it to go in. Itwas a huge bonus."

During his game Slattery played alongside DanielSummerhays and the resort golfer had a lot ofpraise for him.

Lee added: “"Me and Daniel were incredible, He'sa great player. We were just feeding off each otherall day.”

Town to host Beerand Folk festivalat PleasurelandSO U T H P O RT will play host to its first-ever Beerand Folk Festival next month.

The family-friendly event will take place at thePleasureland Arena across three days from FridayJuly 15 to Sunday July 17.

Some of the UK's leading folk music artists, includ-ing Scottish Folk band Treacherous Orchestra, are todescend upon the town as part of an eclectic line-upco-ordinated by The Atkinson.

The festival is being organised by Liverpool-basedReal Ale Events, the company behind a number ofhugely successful beer festivals at St George's Hall,the Bombed Out Church and Waterloo's Old ChristC h u rc h .

Emma Lloyd from The Atkinson said: “We are reallyexcited about this new partnership with Real AleEvents and Pleasureland.

“We were delighted to be asked to programme thestage for the festival and we hope it is well supportedso we can make it an annual event for the town, aswell as growing audiences for our own Love FolkFestival in February.”

Pleasureland is erecting a Big Top Tent in the out-

door arena space to turn the festival into a realspectacle.

The Big Top will be alongside a covered musicstage, a range of independent food stalls and a separ-ate, dedicated bar area featuring as many as 200different beers from micro-breweries across the UK.

ENTERTAINMENTFuture stars appearin Loreto Bamber’sAcademy show

Dance The Night AwayLoreto Bamber DancingAcademySouthport Little Theatre

THIS year ’s annual concert bythe Loreto Bamber DancingAcademy offered a versatileprogramme of no fewer than25 items which covered Ballet,Tap, Jazz and Modern Dance.

Once again, the cast consistedpredominately of girls, only fiveboys taking part, yet formerpupil, Danny Crossley, appearsregularly in top West End music-als showing there is just as big afuture in the profession for maledancers and singers.

The music covered bases for allages from Ballet (a charmingSnow White, accompanied by12 tiny children and seven elves,

dancing to Whistle While YouWork in the Pre-Primary &Primary ballet) to Hip Hop (Aspirited gymnastic display in theJunior Competition for Lunch-Money Lewis’s Bills).

The show opened with a livelyInter Competition dance toBarry Manilow’s Copacabanafollowed by Candy Man fromWillie Wonka which brought aswing beat for the Grade 3 and 4Ta p .

Rap featured heavily with theolder dancers as in Inter &Advanced 1 & 2 Modern's (K7’sCome Baby Come) and Grade 3& 4 Modern's slick moves to ZacEfron & Corbin Blue’s The Boysare Back from High SchoolMusical 3.

There was some excellenthoofing by Grade 4 and 5 Tap toa medley of Fly Me to the Moonand Wade in the Water and ascintillating display to Bye ByeBlackbird by Grade 6, Inter &

Advanced Tap.The Ladies Tap troupe, led by

Miss Bamber herself along withSDC chairman, Trudi Hirsch,brought the house down tappingto Fred Astaire and Judy Gar-land’s Couple of Swells in theirblack hats and baggy suits of theperiod.

Last week I watched a profes-sional song and dance showtouring the country but Ienjoyed this one quite as muchwhich says everything for thepresentation, the dazzling dis-play of different costumes, themusic chosen and the standardof the dancing. It would not sur-prise me to see many of theyoung performers appearingonstage in the years to come beit amateur or professionalshows.

After all, there’s no businesslike show business.

Star Rating: 8 out of 10. Spotthe future stars.

Review by Ron Ellis

South Pacific was anenchanted evening

South Pa c i f i cMaghull Musical TheatreCompanyLittle T h e a t re

ALMOST 70 years ago MaryMartin washed Ezio Pinzaright out of her hair in the1949 Broadway productionthat won ten Tony awards.

Since then Rodgers andHammerstein have thrilledaudiences with their stun-ning music and lyrics that tellthe story of the WW2 Amer-ican naval base on an islandin the South Pacific where‘the sky is a bright canaryyellow ’.

American nurse, Nellie For-bush, is the central characterwho falls in love with planta-tion owner Emile de Becque.

Kay Williams and Mark Duffywere well-cast as theromantic couple. When Nelliediscovers that the deadmother of Emile’s two chil-dren was a dark-skinnedPolynesian girl her racial pre-judice surfaces and threatenstheir relationship.

She finds the children -Ngana (Leah Chaffin-Power)and Jerome (Elliott Heap) –endearing and cute but feelsshe must leave Emile ... andthe island.

Alongside is a secondaryromance being egged on byBloody Mary (Jan Monkley)between her Tonkinesedaughter Liat (Phoebe Hill)and Lt Joe Cable (Matt Cas-son). But what would Joe’sfolks back home think?

The costumes and sets wereaptly tropical with the char-acters having a lovely blendof voices to complement thescore. Andrew Standeven

stepped in as musical dir-ector with his accomplishedmusicians after the recentdeath of Malcolm Fallows towhose memory this produc-tion was dedicated.

Act One would have bene-fitted from more spark so Iwas pleased when Act Twosprang into life with moreemotion, happy choreo-graphy and extra humourfrom Billis (Les Gomersall)and Stewpot (Eric Fletcher)with the whole cast seem-ingly being more in tune witheach other.

The classic songs were ajoy: Some Enchanted Even-ing, Bali Ha’i, Younger ThanSpringtime. And Mark Duffy’srich voice singing This NearlyWas Mine was a show-stop-per!

Score: 7/10 – Light-hearted,funny, some sadness but ahappy ending. Jolly welldone!

Review by Jenny Robson

Celebrate The Queen's 90thbirthday at the Floral HallAUDIENCES at Southport’s Floral Hall havea regal and patriotic afternoon in store onWednesday, June 29, as they celebrate HerMajesty The Queen’s 90th birthday.

Neil Sands and his West End cast travelback over the 90 Glorious Years of herrecord breaking reign, bringing backgolden memories with songs made famousby many of her favourite singers and starsfrom her Royal Command performances.

Expect songs from the shows to thosefrom the swinging sixties, a cockney kneesup to a flag waving finale with a very spe-cial tribute to the veterans of her armedforces, along with a rousing section from

Last Night of the Proms.Neil Sands has built a reputation for pop-

ular ‘old time’ shows with his annual pre-Christmas visit to Southport and the tradi-tional mix of wonderful voices, stunningcostumes and lots of good old fashionedfun, makes this the perfect nostalgic wayto celebrate this historic occasion.

The afternoon is completed by a pre-show two course lunch. Meal and ticketpackages are now sold out but pleasecheck with box office for returns on showt i c ke t s .

The show – 90 Glorious Years will start at2.30pm.

TESLA Exploration International Ltd

PUBLIC NOTICEGEOPHYSICAL SEISMIC SURVEY

TESLA EXPLORATION INTERNATIONAL LTD (TESLA) has been commissioned by AURORA ENERGY RESOURCES LTD (AER) to undertake a 3D geophysical survey within an approximately 40 square kilometre area covering parts of the Great Altcar, Downholland, Halsall, Little Altcar, Formby, Ince Blundell and Lydiate parish areas. The survey is being conducted with the aim of obtaining the best possible image of the subsurface in support of AER’s ongoing hydrocarbon exploration programme. Works will be conducted in accordance with Schedule 2 Part 17 Class K of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015. Information on AER and an outline of the survey area can be found by reference to the company’s website www.aurora-energy-resources.com. The survey process will initially involve a number of specially adapted small agricultural tractors drilling regularly spaced shot holes (approximately 8m deep) along a series of pre-determined traverse lines. Each shot hole will be loaded with a small seismic source charge. An extensive network of passive receiver nodes will then be positioned on the ground surface. Once the network of receiver nodes is in situ, data recording will commence. Individual shot holes will be revisited and the source charge fi red, possibly producing a slight muffl ed ‘thud’. Alternatively, the source will be provided by one or more slow moving specialist tractor units, travelling along roads and tracks, stopping at regular intervals and sending low frequency vibrations into the ground. Such operations are subject to established guidelines and British Standards controlling limits on vibration levels to ensure that no damage to property or infrastructure occurs. Nodes will not be placed directly within the public carriageway, footpaths, bridleways and/or driveway entrances, so vehicular and pedestrian access will not be restricted. Drilling of shot holes is expected to commence in early July 2016, and the survey is scheduled to be completed by mid-August 2016. Prior consultation on the survey has been undertaken with the relevant local councils, statutory bodies and the police. Close liaison with all the above will be maintained throughout the survey.

MOTORSWe will always be proud of England

IT DOESN’T matter which way you vote – and forthe sake of keeping democracy alive and kicking,I suggest you do - in tomorrow’s bigre f e re n d u m .

Whether we opt to hang around in Brussels withour continental chums or decide to go it alones h o u l d n’t matter too much. I’ll even remain vaguely

optimistic if a squirrel-quiffed billionaire becomesPresident of the World and appoints Katie Hopkinsto some important Anglo-American diplomatic roleas a result.

Because as long as you’re able to join the waitinglist for a new Morgan 4/4 there’ll always be an Eng-land we can be proud of.

It is astonishing to think that Worcestershire’s bestknown automotive export has been available insome form or other for – wait for it – 80 years. Youthought the Volkswagen Scirocco and the SEATAltea were old hat? Nonsense. They’re iPhone-tot-ing youths compared to the 4/4. If we’re playing fastand loose with car names rather than designs LandRover ’s late Defender only dates back to 1990, even

with its six redesigns the Golf ’s a bit of a springchicken at 40 and even the Caterham Seven – whichshares precisely 0% with the Lotus-badged original– only goes back as far as 1957.

Whereas the 4/4 went on sale at a time when Bri-t a i n’s best selling car was the Austin Seven andStanley Baldwin was Prime Minister. It’s survivedAdolf Hitler, the Cold War, and being festoonedwith lots of rubbish British Leyland switches. Oh,and it’s still brilliant.

I’ve driven several 4/4s over the years and they allshare the same quality of feeling more alive some-how than most of their modern counterparts. Thereis something genuinely lovely about looking downthat impossibly long bonnet and watching the

reflections of the countryside shimmer towards youon a gentle summer afternoon, and the steringwheel relays you a sort of Morse code feed of what’sgoing on at the front wheels. Pothole in the road?Dash dot dash, and all that.

It’s also capable of getting 30 to the gallon and it’smade by a company – in a nation dominated by for-eign-owned car factories – tat’ll be staunchly Britishand independent whichever we vote. Morgan canmake all the hybrids and BMW-engined muscle carsit likes, but as long as we’ve got the 4/4 everythingwill be alright.

The 4/4 is a bit like red telephone boxes and epis-odes of The Archers. No matter which way you votetomorrow, it’ll still be there…

Morgan has brought out this special edition model for the anniversary

Stars and Stripes event to beheld at Tatton Park in JulyIF YO U R idea of motoring perfection is Mustangs and Corvettes then you’ll lovea great show taking place in Cheshire next weekend.Stars and Stripes takes place at Tatton Park on 2-3 July and focuses solely onAmerican cars, with more than 500 taking part.To find out more go to www.cheshireautopromotions.co.uk

Bowlers win their first National League fixtureSOUTHPORT Crown Bowling Federationcelebrated a spectacular start to the sea-son after winning their first ever game inthe Federation National League and suc-cessfully securing kit sponsorship.

The first league game was played athome against Airedale.

Southport came out on top, success-fully winning 10 games to 2 at home andjust losing the away leg 7 to 5.

That gave Southport, with match pointsadded, a win of 21 versus 11 puttingthem at the top of the league table.

The second game against a strong Dud-ley team was a completely different storywith defeats for Southport both homeand away.

Southport are now among 33 teamswho entered into the league for the 16thseason since it took onto the nationalscene in 2001. Other newcomersincluded Bradford, Burton, Dudley andLiverpool St Helens.

Southport also secured kit sponsorshipfrom The County Group insurance firmwhich has with offices in Southport andLiverpool.

Club chairman Chris Harding said: “Our

first game was a huge achievement forSouthport Crown Bowling Federation.

“I would also like to thank The CountyGroup for kindly offering to cover thecost of the polo shirts (pictured). As asmall team coming up with the financesto enter the league was a challenge for usalongside working on our performance.”

The County Group managing directorKevin Catterall said : “It’s great to seeSouthport Crown Bowling Federationcompete against some of the UK’s topclubs.

“As a local business we proud to be sup-porting our club and wish them all thebest for the rest of the season.”

The team members celebrate their winning start.

Formby pile on the runsbefore bowlers clean upIN the Premier Division top of the tableclash at Leigh, Northern had a day to for-get as they were dismissed for just 62 withMatty McKiernan taking 5-13, writes GlennWa l l w o r t h .

In reply Lancashire’s Luis Reece hit arapid 54* and Ross Zelem 11* as the hostsraced to 66-0 to wrap up a ten wicket vic-tory and move 13 points clear of Northernat the top of the table.

Stand-in skipper Elliot Ketteringham ledfourth placed Formby to a 64 run homewin over Birkenhead Park after the hostspiled up 233-4 dec off 48.2 overs.

This was thanks in the main to a 140-runsecond wicket partnership between Tim leBreton (91) and keeper Dane Williams(74), whilst Tym Crawford weighed in

with an unbeaten 31. In reply, Crawfordthen took 5-38 and Gary Keedy 3-23 tohelp dismiss the visitors for 169.

Third placed Ormskirk had a narrowthree run home win over Bootle, the hostsrecovered from 21-4 to post 173, thanks inthe main to skipper Matty Glayzer (53),Scott Lees (32) and Lancashire’s GavinGriffiths (29), whilst the pick of the bowl-ers were Chris Liptrot 5-74 and ChrisStenhouse 3-51.

In reply Bootle looked to heading

towards victory on 144-6 (Michael Farrell40) until a remarkable spell of bowlingfrom Lancashire’s Josh Bohannon saw himend up with match winning figures of 7-31, as he and fellow County team mateGriffiths 3-15.

This ensured the hosts ran out victorious,as Bootle were dismissed for 170 withGreg Butterworth last man out for 36.

This weekend’s local LDCC Premier Divi-sion fixtures: Bootle v Rainhill, ColwynBay v Ormskirk, Northern v Formby.

In replyJames Dickinson took 6-25 but itw a s n’t quite enough to cementvictory as the hosts hung on for adraw on 170-9.
