Christmas is all about children, that’s where it all started - with one small child - they all start that way, not too sure why! I always thought that, despite my age, as long as I have at least one parent then I am technically still a child. My parents have been gone for quite some years now but I no longer need a reason to behave as I do … I have realised it’s part of who I am, in reality, who we all are. The Editor

The Current Partnership project - Dementia Friendly Village: Congratulations to the George and Dragon – they are the first business to be recognised as part of Holmes Chapel Partnership project as ‘Working towards becoming Dementia Friendly’. We are aiming for all our businesses to join the scheme – if your business would like to know more, please contact us. Since our last newsletter, members of the sixth form at HCCS have become Friends of Dementia, as have Holmes Chapel Tangent and More to Life groups. Our Champions will willingly come and talk to your group. The Memory Cafes at the Methodist Church are proving relaxing and fun mornings. There has been great laughter over the games of indoor skittles plus a variety of activities over a cup of coffee and reminiscing chats. We give you all a warm welcome and especially offer support to those living with dementia. The cafés are held on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Wednesdays of the month 10.00am-12noon. For more details of how you can be part of this project, please contact: [email protected]
Holmes Chapel RUFC Monthly Update: The villager’s mixed season continued for Holmes Chapel RUFC. The first team had success with wins against Winnington Park 2 (26-25) and Aldwininans 2 (21-7) but succumbed to Chester 3 (19-33). Meanwhile, the Seconds have been down on their luck. The fixture against Congleton had to be cancelled due to a lack of players followed by defeats against Newcastle 3 (12-72), Moore 2 (10-37) and narrowly to Mossley Hill 2 in the LBS Plate (5-12). Forthcoming fixtures Date 1st Team 2nd Team 2 December Whitchurch 2 (H) Marple 3 (A) 9 December New Brighton 2 (A) Moore 2 (H) 16 December Didsbury Toc H 2 (H) 23 December Didsbury Toc H 2 (A) 6 January Widnes 2 (A) Eagle 2 (A) All home fixtures are at Holmes Chapel Community Centre Holmes Chapel Rugby Club is always looking for new players, they continue to go from strength to strength after 3 consecutive promotions but they are looking to build for the future now. If you or anyone you know fancies joining the club then please get in touch with them via: http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/holmeschapel https://www.facebook.com/HolmesChapelRufc
Christian Aid Holmes Chapel Committee: The committee would like to thank everyone who supported them at our Annual Coffee Morning, which was held this year on 7th October. The quiz on Nursery Rhymes was very popular; out of 232 forms sold, 31 were returned, 8 of which were correct. A member of staff at the Library drew out the winner, congratulations to the Bayley Family. A donation of £1,001.83 was sent to Christian Aid; thank you to everyone for your continued support. Look out for the Christian Aid Holmes Chapel Committee at the Churches Together stall who will once again be attending the Christmas Market. There will be a fun game with prizes and leaflets given out for adults and children to remind everyone of the true story of Christmas at this busy time of year … we are looking forward to seeing you on 3rd December.
HC3 Community Cinema: The new season of films at HC3 Community Cinema got off to a flying start with 142 coming to the last film, Goodbye Christopher Robin, as many of you will probably know as lots of you were there! Upcoming films: • Breathe: Thursday 14th December 2017 • Murder on the Orient Express: 18th January 2018
Editors view: To quote Poirot “It is the brain, the little grey cells on which one must rely” and mine quite liked the film … David Suchet fans, understandably, may wish to tut a little, out of loyalty, but Kenneth Branagh does do the role justice, if somewhat differently.
These are both excellent films and tickets will be available as usual from Holmes Gifts and Interiors or the Community Centre, price £5.00. Films commence at 8 pm at the Community Centre. Thank you to all who have supported HC3 during 2017 and hopefully 2018 will continue to be successful. Details at http://www.hc3.uk/
Recent Traffic Enforcement Activity: As you may have seen on the Cheshire Constabulary social media platforms, they have carried out a week of the speed operation called Op Captured. The idea was to flood areas with patrols to try and address issues raised with us. These included the contravention of weight restrictions, parking and our ‘Fatal 4’ offences: • Speeding • Mobile Phones • Seatbelts • Drink/Drug Driving. Resources were divided and covered Sandbach, Middlewich and Holmes Chapel over 3 consecutive days with help from our Roads Policing Units (RPU). The operation was a success and we had the following results. • Total number of Traffic Offence Reports issued is calculated as 91, with this figure likely to be in excess
of 100 once all RPU reports have been included. Offences are mainly for the use of mobile phone and seatbelts. TRUCAM caught 171 drivers speeding.
• 5 tickets issued to HGV drivers for weight restriction offences. • 3 tickets for non-endorseable – parking obstruction offences. Liz Chesters – Police Community Support Officer Cheshire Constabulary - Sandbach Police Station Follow @cheshirepolice on Twitter | Like Cheshire Police on Facebook
St. Luke's Quiz Friday 13th October: Update Due to the unavailability of members of the social committee the annual Harvest Supper this year did not take place. However, it was decided to do something a bit different, an easy-going, non-taxing quiz for all ages and abilities. The person who came to mind to sort this out Derek Copley, who holds in his mind a host of useless information. Cheese, biscuits, pickles and nibbles were provided, and thank you to those who donated of lots of cakes. Everyone brought their own drinks which seemed to work very well. Profits from the event were donated to the Holmes Chapel Partnership group to go towards a sensory garden in the village, the Partnership turned up with a team to take part in the quiz – and won!! Stuart Gammon gave spoke about the project, as we are aiming to become a Dementia-friendly village, and this is all part of the overall plan. A profit of £140 was made and this will be donated to the project; a big thanks you to everyone for making it such a good evening.
