UPDATE - 22nd December: Many thanks to those who attended and helped us raise £50 for this worthy cause. Attendances were depleted because of the appalling flu bug doing the rounds at the moment. Even Peter Cox, our organiser and scorer, had to bow out after bravely taking the PA system down to the pub for us. Get well soon!

We'll be publishing details of winners, etc, as well as selected questions from the quiz in due course. Many thanks again everyone! - Dave Roberts

GO LOCAL ISSUE 51 OUT NOW!

Issue number 51 of GO LOCAL, covering April and May, is out  and should be on your doorstep now. If you think this is just another local advertising magazine you're in for a pleasant surprise.
There is, as always, an invaluable WHAT'S ON guide for the next two months (page 26), as well as
contact  numbers for local services such as the Town Council, property maintenance, plumbers, electricians, legal services etc (page 34).
ESSENTIAL INFO (Page 32) gives you vital emergency contact numbers for gas, electricity and water services, doctors, dentists and everyone else you may need in a hurry.
The actual advertisements, too, are a great source of information if you're looking for goods or services and want to 'Go Local'!
There's also the usual DID YOU KNOW? feature (page 12) and Julie Elizabeth Smalley, in another fascinating MIDDLEWICH'S HERITAGE, feature, talks about those colourful 'roses and castles' which adorn many traditional narrowboats.
Julie makes the suggestion that Middlewich might want to adapt this style to become a part of the town's civic identity.
All in all, as always, GO LOCAL is well worth looking at and keeping handy for reference.

THE BEST OF MIDDLEWICH: MIDDLEWICH ROSE FETE 2015 (ARCHIVED)

ARCHIVED

Once again the Middlewich Rose Fete brightens up the Saturday afternoon of the Middlewich FAB Festival Weekend bringing a touch of local Cheshire tradition to the proceedings and giving its participants a chance to shine, in many cases for the first time in their young lives. More details will appear here as the great day approaches.

The Collin School for dance will once again be taking part in the festivities. Here's a link to their website which has some details of the Rose Fete and Festival procession :

COLLIN SCHOOL FOR DANCE

Photo: The Collin School Of Dance/Michelle Game. With thanks to Theresa Kay.
When we asked for permission to use this photo we had to ask if it was actually taken in Middlewich, as the background, though vaguely familiar, was rather puzzling. In the end we twigged it. That's a tiny bit of Brooks & Bostocks shop sign in the top left hand corner. Next is the St Luke's Hospice Shop and a solicitor's office. The white building to the right is the former Jan's Cafe. In other words, we're at the 'toppender' Wheelock Street and the photographer has managed to fool us by cutting off most of  the shop signs. Whether this is by accident or design is not clear. The photo shows members of the Collin School For Dance at the 2013 FAB Festival with some members opting for the much-admired 'Wellies' look

The Middlewich Diary has been helping to publicise the Rose Fete since 2012.

Simon McGrory: I was involved with the Rose Fete some years ago when it was resurrected. Great to see there is still the enthusiasm for keeping it going. Great stuff.
