Letter from Bob at the Neston Surgery.
Phew – the flu season is finally over…………..
We have given out many more vaccinations than we have ever done before – the start was
slow but momentum picked up when the flu hit the headlines. There was no pandemic nor
massive increase in flu so the whole demand came as a bit of a surprise. We coped well
however if you are entitled to a vaccination and are in the cohort for 2011 PLEASE book
early when the appointments are available.
We should be starting vaccinations in OCTOBER 2011 and finishing well before
Christmas so if you are in the cohort -
(Heart Disease and / or diabetes and / or asthma and / or over 65 etc)
PLEASE put a reminder to book an appointment in your diary.
The PCT will be around for a while – gradually handing over to consortiums.
Neston Surgery is a part of a consortium consisting of all 40 practices in Western
Cheshire.
There is some worry about GPs having a shed load of money to run the NHS and there
will be financial ruin – This is not the case….
The consortium will have a board of very able clinicians who will have control of
commissioning services for the patients. This will enable the people who know what
services are needed to provide them for their patients.
Will we feel the difference straight away? – in some areas maybe yes, in other areas it
will take longer. I do not expect everything to change as there are some fantastic services
provided already. Here in Neston we are well looked after but at times it may not feel that
way – there are instances where treatment may seem lacking and these are the problems
facing the consortium straight away.
MONEY? The GP surgeries have for many years been controlled by budget restrictions,
our drug budget for instance is well controlled without the need for rationing. It may
surprise many to find out just how much the medicines cost the NHS, in our modest
surgery the drug bill is around 1.4 million – and if you add in all the 40 surgeries in the
consortium it is a frightening amount.
We have a very good health service though at times it can be frustrating and appear to not
be working for the individual. We are here to help so if you have a problem over our
services or if you have any practical ideas on improving or adding services please let me
know – in writing of course.
There is also a suggestion box in the waiting room but please add your name – it is
difficult to reply to anonymous suggestions.

United in song
Two local schools, woodfall
Primary and Neston High
School are proving that
friendship really is worth
singing about.
As a result of funding from
the British Council for a Global
Curriculum Project, the two
schools have been working
together with their partner
schools in Cape Town (St
James’ Primary and Bergvliet
High School) to write an
anthem celebrating their
friendship. The work put in by
students has been brought together by freelance composer Matt Baker (pictured) who
has been teaching the students the anthem prior to them working with The Harlequin
Project based at Chester University to record their debut CD.
Teachers from both schools together with a party of 5 students from Neston High
School travelled to Cape Town during the recent half term holiday and presented the
anthem at the International Afritwin Project Conference where it was greeted with great
enthusiasm by the assembled audience of Headteachers and senior staff from across
the western Cape.

NINETEEN members of South Wirral
Slimming World Groups are losers –
and they couldn’t be more proud.
The members were struggling with their
weight and their size was affecting every
aspect of their daily lives. However,
with the support of their Slimming world
group in South wirral, not only are
they an amazing 98 1/2 stones lighter
between them, they have just been
awarded their slimming club’s Greatest
Loser 2011 title too. Each member has
won the title for the session that they
attend at the group.
Marilyn Tait who lost 3st and is a target
member of Little Neston group says: “It’s
one thing to eat unhealthily and not do
enough exercise, but it’s another thing
altogether to be putting your health at risk
in this way, its gambling with your life
and putting yourself at risk of developing
heart disease or having a stoke, or in my
case, making my diabetes far worse - I
didn’t want to put myself through that and
I didn’t want to put my family through it
either. I was slowly killing myself and I
knew something had to change.”
Slimming and swimming
Marilyn’s weight was also putting a huge
strain on her health as she had diabetes.
People who are severely overweight,
with a BMI above 30, are more likely to
suffer from health problems like coronary
heart disease, arthritis, diabetes and
even cancer, and obesity is linked to a
reduction in life expectancy of between
seven and nine years.
Together with the other winners from the
South wirral groups, the members have
lost an amazing 98 1/2 stones in total,
and they feel like new women. These
days Marilyn swims – a far cry from the
days when just climbing stairs could
leave them out of breath. Shopping’s not
a problem anymore either after Marilyn
dropped three dress sizes.
Jayne, who runs the Neston Slimming
world group, says: “The change we’ve
seen in the girls is amazing, they are
unrecognisable, inside and out, from
the people who frst walked into our
Slimming world groups. Not only do they
look great, they’ve transformed their
health, especially in Marilyn’s case, as
her diabetes has improved so much that
she’s been able to reduce her insulin
dramatically, and the hospital are so
pleased with her that they’ve asked her to
talk to other diabetes patients about her
success.”

History is written by the victors.
THERE were big celebrations last
month for the offcial opening of
Parkgate Pre-School’s new home.
Parkgate Pre-School has been
run for 16 years from a classroom
within Parkgate Primary School but due to
a higher intake the big school needed the
use of their classroom back.
The pre-school was left with the diffcult
task of fnding a new base and it was
decided to build it within the school
grounds.
Lots of fund raising has taken place
over the last 18 months, with sponsored
walks, sales, family fun days and curry
nights to supplement grants from the local
authority.
School manager Alan Mayers, who
hatched the plan, also volunteered
his time to lay foundations, build and
decorate the pre-school.
Fortunate
Fund raiser Cheryl Gardner said: “we
have been extremely fortunate in that
both pre-school and school parents,
grandparents, uncles and friends have
given their time and expertise to make
the project a success. People who
you simply said hello to each morning
in the playground suddenly turned
into Architects, Joiners, Electricians,
Labourers, Alarm Engineers, Painters,
Decorators and Landscape Gardeners.”
work started on the foundation in July
2010 and the pre-school was able to
use St Thomas’s Church as a temporary
venue.
Finally, after six months of hard work, the
doors were opened at the new venue at
the end of January. The offcial opening
took place last month.
Cheryl added: “The present government
are very keen on the big society concept
and this project certainly gave power to
our community, encouraged people to
take an active role whilst supporting a
local Charity. As a result of which we
have provided the Parkgate and Neston
community with a pre-school which will
serve many future generations.”
Pre-school
provides
a lasting
legacy

I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.
Children at Oaklands Day Nursery,
on Liverpool Road, Neston, took
part in the Guinness world record
attempt for the longest piece of
bunting to celebrate fair trade. They
each decorated their own piece
of bunting, which was then sewn
together onto one continuous line.
They joined children from all across
the area at the record attempt in
Chester which saw the bunting
stretched around the city walls. The
bunting has now been sent down to London to take part in World Fair Trade Day
on 8th May 2011, where the world record attempt will hopefully be accomplished!
Woodfall Primary School has been awarded Fair Trade Status after working hard
to raise the children’s awareness of the true meaning of Fair Trade and how
as a school they can support it. The children have learnt about the benefts of
supporting Fair Trade through lessons, workshops and special events.
On Saturday 12th March the school also took part in the World’s Longest
Bunting World Record attempt in Chester City Centre. Each pupil had designed
their own fag on Fair Trade Cotton that was sewn together to make over 90
metres of bunting.
Woodfall Achieves Fair Trade Award !
Woodfall Primary School is pleased to announce that they have
been awarded the Fair Trade Status Award. We have been
working hard to raise the children’s awareness of the true
meaning of Fair Trade and how as a school we can support Fair
Trade. The children have learnt about the benefits of
supporting Fair Trade through lessons, workshops and special
events. During Fair Trade Fortnight the children had the
opportunity to purchase Fair Trade food and friends and family
were invited to our Fair Trade tea and coffee afternoon. On
Saturday 12th March we also took part in the World’s Longest
Bunting World Record attempt in Chester City Centre. Each
pupil had designed their own flag on Fair Trade Cotton that
was sewn together to make over 90 metres of bunting. Our
bunting was then joined with other schools’ to stretch around
the city walls. Lots of Woodfall children, staff and parents
joined us on the day to hold up the bunting as part of this
event.

Breakfast with a conscience
AS part of Fairtrade Fortnight,
the children of St. winefride’s
Catholic Primary School took part
in a Fairtrade Breakfast. Children
enjoyed a breakfast of toast with
jam, marmalade or chocolate
spread, cereal bars and banana
bread washed down with hot
chocolate and fresh orange.
The breakfast followed work carried
out by the children, who learnt why
CAFoD and many other charities
helped to form the Fairtrade
Foundation nearly 20 yrs
ago.
Sainsbury’s, Neston,
donated bread, bananas and
Roy wilson, a representative
from the store, held a
Fairtrade Quiz. The children
all made a donation towards
the breakfast, and any
money raised will be sent off
to CAFoD as part of their
fundraising for Lent.

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
NESToN Cricket Club is hosting
a family open day on Sunday 10th
April, giving you the chance to have
a go! The open day runs from 1pm to
4pm, and you will be able to try all of
the sports that the club has to offer,
including cricket, hockey, racketball,
squash and tennis.
The cricket section is keen to attract
players of all ages and both genders –
the ladies side has a roster of fxtures
on Sundays throughout the season.
There will be the chance for you to
have a go in the nets on the open day.
Spectators will have the chance to
watch the club’s frst XI take on New
Brighton in a pre-season friendly, and
the future of the club – the under 13s
are playing Shrewsbury on the back
pitch.
Meanwhile, the cricket section are
preparing for the 2011 season with an
intense pre-season programme before
the league matches start on 23rd April.
The frst XI have three games:
taking on National Knockout fnalists
Bootle on Saturday 9th April, the
aforementioned game against New
Brighton and oldham side Bamford
Fieldhouse on Saturday 16th April. All
three games are taking place on the
front pitch at Parkgate. The second
XI have two home games against
Bootle (also 9th April) and Ellesmere
Port on Sunday 17th April, with third
XI playing an away game at Oxton on
9th April and home against to Bamford
Fieldhouse on 16th April.
All of these friendlies should give
the players the chance to get fully
prepared for the new season. The
frst XI players have a new captain to
impress; wicketkeeper Andy Roberts
has replaced the prolifc Jack Smith.
Fans need not fear as Smith is
continuing to open the batting for the
side.
The ladies’ side also need to impress
a new skipper. Delia Heginbottom has
stood down after many years at the
helm, with young Beth Thorne stepping
into her shoes.
The cricket section are excited to be
launching a new team for the 2011
season, as competitive Sunday league
cricket returns to Parkgate in addition
to the friendly side. with age sides
from under 9s all the way to under 17s
as well, Neston can offer cricket to all
standards for players of all ages.
People interested in joining are more
than welcome the open day on 10

Letter from Bob at the Neston Surgery.
Phew – the flu season is finally over…………..
We have given out many more vaccinations than we have ever done before – the start was
slow but momentum picked up when the flu hit the headlines. There was no pandemic nor
massive increase in flu so the whole demand came as a bit of a surprise. We coped well
however if you are entitled to a vaccination and are in the cohort for 2011 PLEASE book
early when the appointments are available.
We should be starting vaccinations in OCTOBER 2011 and finishing well before
Christmas so if you are in the cohort -
(Heart Disease and / or diabetes and / or asthma and / or over 65 etc)
PLEASE put a reminder to book an appointment in your diary.
The PCT will be around for a while – gradually handing over to consortiums.
Neston Surgery is a part of a consortium consisting of all 40 practices in Western
Cheshire.
There is some worry about GPs having a shed load of money to run the NHS and there
will be financial ruin – This is not the case….
The consortium will have a board of very able clinicians who will have control of
commissioning services for the patients. This will enable the people who know what
services are needed to provide them for their patients.
Will we feel the difference straight away? – in some areas maybe yes, in other areas it
will take longer. I do not expect everything to change as there are some fantastic services
provided already. Here in Neston we are well looked after but at times it may not feel that
way – there are instances where treatment may seem lacking and these are the problems
facing the consortium straight away.
MONEY? The GP surgeries have for many years been controlled by budget restrictions,
our drug budget for instance is well controlled without the need for rationing. It may
surprise many to find out just how much the medicines cost the NHS, in our modest
surgery the drug bill is around 1.4 million – and if you add in all the 40 surgeries in the
consortium it is a frightening amount.
We have a very good health service though at times it can be frustrating and appear to not
be working for the individual. We are here to help so if you have a problem over our
services or if you have any practical ideas on improving or adding services please let me
know – in writing of course.
There is also a suggestion box in the waiting room but please add your name – it is

Easter Veg Secrets
Neston Local April 2011 25
A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
Angela Bartlett has over 26 years of
experience in the beauty and holistic
industries.
She is the Immediate Past Chairman
for BABTAC representing almost ten
thousand therapists in the UK. Her
expertise is called upon to examine for
an International Examination board and
judging competitions such as Young
Make-up Artist of the Year Award at
Clothes Show, London for 2010.
Angela is also a successful column
writer for trade journals Salonfocus and
Vitality. She has a beauty, holistic and
skin care clinic near Tarporley.
Q. I’ve been happily using the same skin care products for years,
but they don’t seem to be delivering the same results as they used
to. Do you have any suggestions?
A. Your skin is constantly changing and you need to adapt your
skin care products to suit the needs of your skin at that particular
time. Your skin can vary from month to month depending on
your health and exposure to environmental changes and certainly
from season to season. The skin care products needed during
the autumn and winter months can vary enormously from those
required during the spring and summer. More information on
how you can adapt your skin skin care routine o cope with
seasonal changes are to be found on the newsletter page at www.
angelabartlett.co.uk.
I think you have been lucky to have achieved results
from using the same products for such a long time,
but now spring is here I would advise you to visit your
professional skin care therapist for a good skin analysis
or Face Mapping and get an updated recommendation on
the best products to use for your skin condition.
Q. I’m getting married this month and want to develop a
tan. What would you recommend?
A. If you are a regular reader of my Question and
Answer section you will know that I am completely
opposed to tanning from natural sunlight or sunbeds!
A tan will be gone a in a few weeks, but the damage will
last a lifetime, so don’t risk it when there are so many
great sunless tanning products out there to enjoy. The
key to a perfect fake tan is in the preparation of your
skin and to get my top tips for preparing your skin
for sunless tanning visit the newsletter page at www.
angelabartlett.co.uk.
One of the quickest and easiest ways of achieving a
perfect tan is to visit a professional for either a spray
tan or a manual application. It is wise to have a trial
session a few weeks before the wedding so you can be
sure that you will be happy with the results and then
book your ‘wedding tan’ approximately 24-48 hours
prior to your Big Day. Ensure your treatment for the
big day is with the same person as for your trial as
variations in application can occur between therapists
and this will give you confdence in the results.

For the 30th Anniversary Concert this year, the choir are performing Stainer’s; ‘The
Crucifxion’ as tribute to the founding of the singers group back in 1981 when the
choir was formed by Tony Davies, as a way of bringing the various denominational
congregations in the area together for Easter. It proved to be so popular they have
been giving two concerts at Christmas and Easter ever since!
They will also be performing a new composition by Bob Chilcott, ‘A Little Jazz Mass’
frst performed in New Orleans in June 2000, a completely new twist on an old theme
which we are sure will be enjoyed by our audience this year.
