Norley News—June 2012 1

Praise was sung for Norley’s own budding pyrotechnics coordinator, Landlord

John Whitlow after he kick started the village’s jubilee fun with a fireworks

display.

Rain held off and the weather was kind as the display got going at 10.30pm on

Saturday 2nd June at the Tiger’s Head pub. A great success, the show attracted a

large and appreciative crowd to the pub.

“People said the fireworks were better than bonfire night” said John, who put this

down to his having more experience now.

“They are nothing to what I have planned for this bonfire night,” he added. As the

bar staff was run off their feet in a busy top bar John joked that he should do fire-

works every weekend.

The show goes on as inclement jubilations spark Plan B As Sunday’s pouring rain threatened to dampen spirits, the Jubilee Committee sprang into

action to save the day. And stoically shrugging it all off, Norley people partied through

regardless.

Periodically chilly faces turned up at the bar ordering hot

and the tents remained busy until late afternoon.

Her Majesty was very amused.

Whitlow on a

homemade cart. An

old pub chair was incorporated into the design for ultimate

comfort as they hurtled down Maddocks Hill. Defying

predictions of broken bones and bleeding knees, they made

it to the finish line unscathed in third place.

More comedy and delight

came from the ‘family’

team in final place, with

Trevor Gleave as mother, in

a beautifully tailored low

cut floral maxi dress, which

w a s c h a r m i n g l y

complemented by black

lace-up boots. Mark Platt

as father and Richard Stone

as the son completed the

team, pushing Tilly Stone

dressed as the baby girl in a

pink romper suit. In a

suspicious turn of events,

however, half way

round the route this

family team ‘lost’

the i r p ram to

marauding children

who raced it back at a

good pace.

Then it was back to

the beer garden for a

barbeque followed by dancing to the live entertainment by

Cheeky Monkey, a band with a big local following.

“The music they play is varied and they are very

entertaining” said John.

Norley Makes an Exhibition of Itself Villagers make a fantastic range of themed scarecrows,

and celebrates Norley’s past with tea, cakes and lots of

pictures.

Parish Councillor Jon Wild adds the final touches.

While on Tuesday morning some slept off the antics of the

night before, others were busy working their way round the

scarecrow trail – and voting for their favourites.

Participation was excellent and there were 29 official

entries to the scarecrow route. Several extras were also

dotted around Norley – pictured here in case you missed

them.

Getting to Know You . . . . I'd like to introduce myself as the new Chairman of the

aware that Janet and I have lived in the village for 17 years

now.

I have become

involved in the PC

through a concern

over Planning

the past few years.

Originally I never

really had an axe

to grind about

planning matters,

but realised that

when my own

v i e w s w e r e

awakened on the

subject many of

my friends and

neighbours held the same views. The problem was no-one

seemed to be saying what everyone was apparently thinking

and so some campaigning began.

I am not a huge fan of the current system of objecting or

commenting on individual applications as it always has the

potential to become confrontational, which is why I

welcome so much the opportunity given to PC's and

community groups by the governments Localism Act.

Through the formation of a Neighbourhood Plan there is at

last the chance for communities such as ours to express the

majority opinions and views and wishes for the place in

Turnout for teas and cakes –

donated via Les Summers –

at the village hall was brisk

and a display of fantastic old

photos of Norley’s people,

buildings and lifestyle over

the years, brought local

history to life. There was

much to learn; not least that

Norley once had a petrol

station, slaughterhouse, a

hunt, and lots of shops!

Thank You! Norley News would like to take the opportunity to say a big

‘thank you’ to everyone who contributed their time to making

the jubilee a success.

A huge amount of work was put in by so many people,

including the jubilee and village hall committees, staff at the

pub and of course all the creative people who made a

scarecrow. It was great that the celebrations involved so

many villagers.

£151 for the windows fund.

Missing Out on a Load of

Hay

A swarm of bees in May is worth a load of hay, a swarm of

bees in June is worth a silver spoon, a swarm of bees in July

isn’t worth a fly.

So runs the old saw, relating to fact that getting a swarm

when there is a likely to be a good nectar flow is a

“guarantee” of both honey and beeswax. So when Dave at

The Stores told me that there was swarm down

Stanneybrook way I was keen to collect it especially as I

had sadly lost a colony during the winter, weakened as it

was by the depredations of wasps. Unfortunately the swarm

had already flown high up into a chimney and was now

happily making a new home blissfully unaware of its

annoyed neighbours, a pair of nesting jackdaws. They

weren’t a swarm from my bees, I suspect someone nearby

keeps bees ( So maybe I’m not the only apiarist in the

village) as they usually fly a relatively short distance from

their original home to settle.

which they live. This is not a process for stopping change or

development, but for managing the changes which will

inevitably come if we are to achieve the growth necessary for

our economy to recover. The goal is a better place to live for

all members of the community, not just for individuals or

developers.

Sustainability is a key issue under which all proposals should

be considered.

Some of you will already have heard me speaking about a

Neighbourhood Plan, but the sheer scale of work required to

achieve it is only now becoming clear as communities

throughout the land become involved. Some villages already

have design statements or Parish Plans in place. In Norley we

are starting completely from scratch, and so it is vital that

when the opportunity to get involved comes along please

embrace it.

Norley is a great place to live, it can remain so and be better

still in future.

Parking On Fingerpost Lane -

a Polite Request We have received a request from local residents that all who

park on the narrow footpath on Finger Post Lane please be

more considerate. Some cars are parking so that the most or

all of the path is blocked, requiring pedestrians to walk in the

road to get around the cars. This is not a safe practice,

particularly for those who are less confident walking in the

road, are older, have prams etc. The plea is to please think of

your neighbours and other pedestrians when parking!

The last few warm sunny days have shown a dramatic surge

in activity of the bees, literally tumbling out of their hives to

bring back pollen, nectar, propolis (resins/gums) and water.

Water is needed to dilute the honey so it can be fed to the

larvae (baby bees) and is especially vital when it is hot to

allow the bees to cool the hive. If the internal temperature

gets too high the waxcombs will soften and collapse and the

colony will die of heat stroke. In the hive, worker bees strop

drops of water over their tongues which unrolls like a

butterfly’s tongue (though not as long!) whilst fanning their

wings. This causes the water to evaporate and this like

sweating has a cooling effect. At the entrance of the hives

more workers are furiously fanning moving the warm moist

air out of the hive. The bees will do something similar with

nectar and in the evening the smells from the hive are

redolent of the flowers the bees have visited. Through the

night you can hear a constant roar as the nectar is converted

into honey. So intense is the activity that in the morning you

can often find little puddles of condensed water at the

entrance.

The false “spring” in March allowed pussy willow,

snowdrops, celandines and crocuses to be a very welcome

source of pollen for the young bees, and enabled the brood

(the bee nursery) to increase dramatically. But the cold wet

wintry weather which persisted for weeks meant that this vital

food became in very short supply. In some similarly ”awful”

springs it can get so bad that the brood either starves or can’t

be kept warm and you can find their pathetic little white

corpses flung out on the lighting board. But bees are resilient

and seeing them plundering my Tayberry flowers for the pale

brownish pollen made me optimistic again of honey as well

as jars of Tayberry jam. The Lime trees in School Lane look

in fine fettle, last year the honey from them was delightful,

very pale with a slight greenish tinge and a lovely delicate

flavour.

So fingers crossed ,when the Norley clocks stand at ten to

three there will be honey for everyone’s tea. Hopefully it

will be on sale in the The Stores and at the Garden show in

September. If things really go to plan there will also be

honey fudge, spice balls dubbin, furniture cream, pine cone

firelighters ,candles and even (sorry!) Christmas

decorations.

Finally avid readers of Parish council minutes will have

seen mention of beehives. I like many beekeepers are

reticent as to the siting of their hives as bee rustling

(honest) is all too common. And on the subject of

Commons, the late Reg Holmes knew that honeybees on

and near Flaxmere had been kept there since time

immemorial – he always had a bait hive there to catch a

stray swarm. On the ecological side the presence of

hundreds of thousands of pollinating insects has been

shown to maintain a diverse healthy plant population, the

very basis of a thriving web of life. Any harm caused by

two or three visits a week by a beekeeper are negligible

compared to the benefits. Only the lizards sunning

themselves on the hives (maybe catching one or two stray

bees) have any legitimate cause for annoyance or alarm at

the disturbance. As for the removal of any walkways the

family of badgers that use it too may also have something to

say on the matter. I suspect old Brock has been a resident

in these parts for as long as the Moss itself has been here.

Ironbridge Wednesday 18th April, class three went on a school trip to

Ironbridge, it was a joint trip with Kinsley st John.

Wednesday morning, at 9:15am the bus came to take us to

Ironbridge, Kinsley got picked up first so they were already

on the bus. We all lined up at the door raring to go, all

mums and dads coming to wave good bye. We got on the

bus and started are journey.

After the one and a half hour journey we arrived at Blists

Hill. We got off the bus, relieved the bus journey was over,

and then went to change our money to Victorian money in

the Victorian town. After changing our money we went

shopping in the Victorian shops. There was a wide variety.

My personal favourite shop was the sweet shop. There was

also a fair-ground.

After all the shopping, we all met in a lunch shed and had

are lunches.

When we had finished we shared our favourite bit so far,

then we went shopping a bit more to get round more shops.

The year six girls went to the fair-ground and there we two

rides, and other little activities. We went on one ride twice

and the other ride once.

When we had finished shopping we got back on the bus and

went to settle down in the youth hostel we were staying in.

To settle down we had some free time where we could

unpack our bags and the make the beds and things like that.

When we had finished we went down for tea. After the

yummy food we went to a different part of the building and

played two games these were: marble run and mine

sweeper. After that we went to our rooms to get ready for

bed (we didn’t go to bed that early!)

In the morning we went down for breakfast at 8:30am.

After that we did a variety of games: photo hunt, Victorian

games, candle dipping and drama (this took the whole day).

Next we went back to the main part of the building and had

tea, and then we went to bed.(we had a midnight feast,

yummy!)

This was the day we were going home, but before we did

we went on the bus to Enginuity hands on science museum.

Golf Skills

On Wednesday the 2nd May a mixture of children from

classes 2 and 3 were chosen to take part in a Golf Skills

Challenge at Pryors Hayes golf club. When we got there we

met a man called Roger Shutt who talked us through what

we were going to do; a variety of skills, putting, chipping,

long shots… First of all, we did three chipping

challenges, the results of how good we were would decide if

we went through to the final. Points were given if a golf ball

landed in the significant area and were also given if it went

in the hole.. We had activities to do between the main ones

which were very enjoyable. Everyone did very well and 6 of

us excelled. There had to be a play off to decide who the

best 6 were! We had a great time and would like to thank

Roger Shutt for organising it.

Class 3

Forest Walk in Delamere On Thursday 17th of May we had a trip to Delamere Forest.

First of all we arrived at school as usual and in our school

clothes. Then we started our torturous journey through the

mud and rain. It was a fun journey to the forest and I learnt

a lot and one thing was not to fuss when we had to walk

through 10cm deep thick and slushy MUD!

Next we met up with our forest ranger called Helena in the

Whitefield car park, and then we walked to visitors centre

and dropped off our bags at the classroom. Then we were

off on our *Bogling walk.

We Bogled all sorts of things like pine cones, sandstone and

pine needles and put them in our *herbie poshtigs. Then we

walked back to the classroom and had our lunch.

Unfortunately one of the girls in year 2 lost her tooth so we

had to wrap it up in a tissue so she didn’t loose it. Then

some of us played “last touch”.

On the way back from the forest it wasn’t raining so it was a

better walk than on the way there. When we got back lots of

people were saying “I’ve survived”, and were pretending to

faint and I thought it was really funny!!!

one boy even came as a punk rocker!! There was a

competition to design a crown, with some great prizes such

as money boxes and cups and plates. The crowns were

really good and Mrs Griffiths had a job to pick the best. We

had a lady called Jess come to school and teach us circus

skills. I learnt how to juggle with 3 scarves and how to spin

a plate.

At lunch time the whole school came together and we had a

street party picnic on the playground. Miss Diane had

worked hard all week to prepare sandwiches, pizza, sausage

roll, cakes, biscuits, jelly and ice cream. When we were all

Norley WI Meeting

May 10th 2012 Helen welcomed everyone including visitors and new

members.

Some of us had been to see Phantom in Manchester Palace

Theatre what a spectacular musical evening it was. The

Meadow Bank evening was superb. After a superb meal

some walked and some rode in the trailer round what was a

farm but is now a safe haven for birds, beasts and

butterflies. Thank you Helen. Coming events are ~ The

Jubilee event on June 7th. Party clothes, nice hats etc. to be

worn. The August outing on 9th will be a Grappenhall

Heyes garden tour. The Haworth trip on July 7th will start

at 8~30am in the Village Hall car park. Our fund raising

evening on 27th October will be a Barn Dance in

Kingsley Village hall with a Fish and Chip supper.

Rounders is proving to be a lot of fun. We have never done

this before and we are allowed to use the playing field of

Norley Junior school. She then asked for help to dress our

Scarecrow our entry into the Jubilee competition. Don’t

No one has to do it all, just some of it goes towards the

whole. If you see what I mean.

The talk was given by Mr. Ed Salt who gave a fascinating

talk with Milk and Cheese tastings, on Goat Farming and in

particular Delamere Dairies which is not now at Delamere

but has touches with a fair amount of the world. Goats milk

is slightly sweet and very nice to drink. It can have very

beneficial results to health.

There has been an increase in the number of reports of theft

of horses in the Kingsley, Cuddington, Crowton and Norley

Area. Some of the animals were thankfully returned to their

owner but the incidents are worthy of note for all horse

owners across the Rural Area and I would encourage a

review of any security measures that are in place. A white

van (no further details) was seen acting suspiciously near

one of the incidents.

High value mountain bikes have been stolen from an

unattended vehicle in Delamere. They were secured to a

cycle rack which in turn was secured to the vehicle. There

have been similar reports of theft where the property has

been ‘secured’ by the owner and the thieves have none less

managed to steal the property. Please be aware and consider

additional measures such as choosing the location your

vehicle is left so as not to be remote or vulnerable in any

way or by keeping your property with you at all times.

A house in Station Road, Delamere has been the subject of

a Burglary overnight Thursday 10th May. The offender(s)

smashed their way through the back door to gain entry and

steal jewellery and computer equipment. Any sightings of

suspicious activity around the time in question or anything

that ‘just didn’t look right’ would be appreciated.

You may recall several weeks ago that I advised I was

interested in any sightings in the Tarporley area of a blue

BMW with blacked out windows, possibly on a ’51 plate’.

The request was in relation to it potentially being involved

in the theft of milk in the area. Can I remind you of this

request as I am still very interested to identify the vehicle

and believe it is still in the Tarporley area.

A reassuring example of a recent outcome from a reported

incident and subsequent police investigation - Two males

from the Frodsham area have been convicted at court in

relation to an assault and a theft from a motor vehicle which

occurred at Frodsham Railway Station on 7th December

2011. One received an 18 week custodial sentence and the

other a 12 month community order.

Officers are making enquiries into a spate of damage that

has occurred to vehicles in the Hayes Crescent Area of

Frodsham overnight Friday 1st June. Mindless acts of

damage such as this are fortunately a rare event but when

they do happen cause unlimited amounts of concern and

upset. If you have any information as to who the offender

may be or have CCTV that could possibly help in our

enquiries please contact Frodsham Police Station.

Finally can I thank you for your continued support and

‘awareness’ across the Rural Area. I have noticed this week

a significant number of you have contacted the police with

reports of suspicious activity in your localities. Some of

these have been checked out by officers and have transpired

to be ‘all in order’, others have assisted in identifying

offenders(s) or creating an overall intelligence picture to

assist my deployment of staff. The fact that you are looking

out, aware and letting us know is most appreciated.
