Record numbers have joined Tarporleys Sixth Form. So to kick start the new term and they certainly didnt disappoint us during their induction programme. Designed to build relationships within tutor groups as well as with some of the key staff who work with the Sixth Form, the three days help prepare our students for A Level study by giving them information and skills which will help them to enjoy Sixth Form life and to be successful over the next two years. The activities are scored and the tutor group with the most points at the end of the week is awarded the Conway Challenge Trophy. The activities are all designed to test a range of skills which will prove useful at A Level and beyond. As usual, the students approached every task enthusiastically; they have made an excellent start to their A Level studies.

The Society has a very distinguished series of speakers this season, with David Hayns on Thursday 27th October (Castle and Canal through time), followed by the County Archivist, Jonathan Pepler for the Wright Manley sponsored evening on 24th November (Cheshire Maps and Map Makers). We meet on the fourth Thursdays in the month at the Tiverton Village Hall at 7.30 pm, and all are very welcome. The Tarporley, Bunbury & District Historical Society has received a number of queries most of which they have been able to answer. Recently one from a correspondent in Kent has, however, rather stumped them. The attached illustration of an unused postcard appears to be of the Glyndwr Hotel in the 1940 or 1950s. On its back appears the faint impression of Haines Photographers, Tarporley, in purple in one line. The inscription on the postcard is of the Duke of Kents visit but the Prince of Wales feathers are clearly seen. The owner writes that all the record offices in North Wales and Cardiff claim there was no such hotel or royal visit, so it might be over the border. In that case, has it anything to do with Tarporley? Does any reader happen to know anything about it? Any help should be sent to pyoung@care4free.net or 01829 832700, or why not come along to our next meeting in October 27th at Tiverton Village Hall to discuss it, and hear David Hayns presentation of Castle and Canal over time? CAB outreach programme The Citizens Advice Bureau is running an outreach programme at Tarporley Community Centre on the third Wednesday of each month. The next ones take place on Wednesday 19th October and Wednesday 16th November. The CAB is a national charity offering a free, confidential impartial information and advice service. The service can also be contacted by phone or through local offices in Winsford, Northwich and Chester. Tel contact 08444 111 444 Flu clinics in Kelsall Kelsall Medical Centre will be administering Seasonal Flu Vaccinations at Kelsall Surgery on Tuesday 4th October from 4.30-6pm, Saturday 8th October from 10-11.30am and Thursday 13th October from 4.30-6pm.

and October. Select hardy varieties that can be grown outside in the border or be prepared to buy new plants each year as many varieties are only half hardy and will not survive the winter if left outside. Buy bulbs of daffodils and tulips and plant in October. Wallflowers and primulas can be planted out this month for colour next year. October is also the time to plant out perennials, evergreen hedging plants and climbers before winter sets in. The soil should still be warm from summer to allow good root growth and also damp from rain enabling them to survive the winter. In the vegetable garden you can probably still plant winter lettuce seeds then cover with a cloche to supply some greens in winter. Lift pieces of mint, thyme and chives and pot up for use indoors when the plants outside die back and sow seeds of parsley to use in cooking. Make sure broccoli and Brussels sprout plants are staked. October is the time for the last cut of the year for the lawn. You can also lay turf provided the soil is moist and there are no frosts likely.
