Babes and Tots
Babes and Tots have now re-opened after the summer break and are meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Church Hall from 9:30am to 11am.
Heritage Open Day
On a wet day on September 8th St Paul’s hosted their annual Heritage Open Day. Despite the weather all the events went ahead indoors with the exception of the barbecue which continued outside under its gazebo. The Bollin Morris dancers were pleased to be able to dance in the Church following their earlier performance in the rain at the Timperley Country Fair. They even managed to persuade the Mayor to join in. Punch and Judy performed in the small vestry to an enthralled audience of youngsters. The Cadishead Brass Band were also able to perform in Church following St Paul’s Community Choir.
The refreshments in the Hall did a roaring trade (although the photos below were taken before the crowds rolled in from the rain)

There but not There
Visit to
On Wednesday the 1st August, 8 of us ladies belonging to St Pauls paid a visit to the Mustard Tree in Ancoats. We were having a guided tour of the newly refurbished premises belonging to this Charity which we all support.
Well, we were all suitably impressed, firstly be the wonderful Welcome we were given and then by the professional and sensitive way the public were dealt with.
The premises themselves were second to none as the photographs will show you and the people who make good use of them can avail themselves to Food, Clothes, Furniture, Ornaments and enough to fit out a kitchen bedroom and indeed a home.
As well as material things the Staff try to stretch their horizons by engaging them in Music Lessons, Learning to play an instrument, recording studio, Art classes and the use of all materials free of charge. There is a Cafe/Restaurant where we enjoyed a cup of coffee/tea and a biscuit, they have a theatre complete with stage and the room opens out on to the cafe/restaurant in order to enjoy performances. They are helped to complete CV’s and apply for jobs etc.
All of the above is due to their Social Enterprise Scheme, they do received help from several large organisations as well as donations from people such as ourselves as part of our Community Giving.
I’m really looking forward to going again soon.
Please remember that they desperately need donations of hygiene products as well as food etc.

Men’s Society Bowls Match
In the middle of a heatwave, 25 members and friends met at the Linden Club in Sale for the annual bowls night on June 28th. The rock-hard green challenged all but the good players and the final was contested by Brian Kerridge and John Barlow. The winner was Brian who re-claimed the cup he last won in 2014. The splendid refreshments were provided by the Shakeshaft family but with so many ends to fit in these were not started until 9:45pm. The final was then played after this in the dying light.
