Congratulations to the Station Volunteers who have
won The Best Kept Stations Gardens award
2011
For the fourth year running Peter and Heather Hammond and Tony and Barbara Icke have won an award in the Cheshire Best Kept Station Competition. This year they achieved The Best Kept Station Gardens award.
The Awards were presented on the 17th January 2012 at The Weaver Hall Museum, Northwich. Over 90 guests attended the evening including the Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire, the High Sheriff and six local Mayors including George Walton, CE Councillor for the Chelford ward.
Announcing the Award for Chelford, John Hulme, Organiser of Cheshire Best Kept Stations, said: “Many people refer to our competition as a Station Gardens Competition which tells us how important gardens are at our railway stations. When Chelford Station was first nominated in 2007, you would have never thought Best Gardens were within their remit. After five years they have proved us wrong and its all down to a handful of volunteers. They now have bedding plants galore, planters and a lawn at the front of the station”.
A heart felt thanks to the Station Volunteers from the residents of Chelford for all their hard work and perserverance which has made this achievement possible. See the Volunteers report.

Parents outplayed by Chelford children
The first ever Chelford CE Primary Children vs. Parents Football match was a roaring success. After a full time draw of 7 all, the children won 3-2 on penalties!
Robert Massey (Parent Governor) who organised the event would like to thank everyone who helped, donated sports equipment to the school or volunteered to take part.

Knutsford Local area Partnership 'Embrace the
Games' Competition
To celebrate the official Olympic Torch coming to Knutsford on Thursday 31st May, the Knutsford Local Area Partnership (LAP) is organising a competition to design a 'Banner' to be displayed at the event.
The competition is to design an A4 image which reflects your local village, school or community linked to an Olympic Theme: e.g. a picture of a local landmark displayed with the 5 Olympic rings. These images will then be incorporated into a ‘Banner’ which will represent the whole of the Knutsford LAP community.
The Competition is open to all residents of the LAP’s local communities.
A sub group including representatives from statutory and voluntary agencies called 'Embrace The Games' has been established to plan the competition. The group has agreed the criteria for the competition .
It is likely that a large number of entries will be received and the Parish Councils have been asked to select a Competition Coordinator to receive entries from their communities. The Co-ordinator will then submit entries to the Embrace The Games Group by the closing date of Friday 30th March 2012. The Chelford co-ordinator is Kath Gildon.

90 year old Chelford Guide Unit Closed
Chelford Guides, one of the oldest units in Cheshire, has been forced to close temporarily until a new adult leader can be found. Girlguiding UK is very keen to re-open the Chelford unit – but can’t until at least one new adult volunteer comes forward. “Chelford has a thriving Brownie pack and it’s such a shame that the Brownies have no Guide unit to move on to when they turn 10.” More details
If anybody is interested in finding out more, please contact Judy Povey on 01625 583199 or Anne Carsons on 01625 612181
