Scouts geared up with new minibus Freemasons from Thornton and Clev-eleys Lodge got into top gear when they heard that a local scout group who are near neighbours to their West Drive, Cleveleys, base, needed a bit of extra assistance to raise funds for a much needed minibus.

The Masons were so impressed when they heard from lodge member Paul Joyce, who is also the treasurer of 2nd Clev-eleys St Andrews Scout Group; about all the activities the scouts had got involved in to raise cash for the minibus that they sent off an appeal to their West Lancashire Charity fund. As a result a cheque for £2,600 arrived to make up the short-fall from the scout’s target figure of £10,000 for their minibus. As an added bonus another lodge member Darren Shillito, boss at Karl Smith Car Sales, apart from giving another £250 to the scouts fund, sourced the minibus, had it sign written with the scouts St Andrews crest and will see to it that the minibus gets its annual servicing done as part of the pack-age.

The Masons heard that St Andrews scouts had raised £7,400 in an amazing number of ways some of them quite unique. Topping the list must be a parachute jump done by St Andrews secretary Janine Webster who is blind but man-aged to raise £1,378.10 (!) for the scouts. Her son is a bea-ver scout in the group. Janine McNeil who is a mother to a scout and a young leader ran in the London Marathon and raised £180 for her efforts. There were also all manner of race nights and beetle drives and Bob-a-Job and magic shows, Christmas fairs and bag packing to swell the funds. Wyre Youth Council donated £1,000 and Julia Culshaw, manager of Tesco Cleveleys whose store is another near neighbour of the scouts donated £500 from Tesco Community Projects. At the handover of the minibus Group Scout leader, Don Ashworth, told Terry Hudson, Freemasons’ Assistant Provin-cial Grand Master how delighted he was that the culmination of all the efforts of fund raising had at last come to pass and he thanked everyone who had taken part for their contributions and unstinting hard work.

Bennetts of Fleetwood Want to say a big thank you to all their customers as they celebrate three years of business in the town. Serving the local area, Bennetts are going from strength to strength, with customers old and new who are very happy with their product range and service. David Bennett, an experienced local time-served Ophthalmic Technician and experienced dispenser, feels that “the personal touch they offer” is often missing in today’s Optical mass market, where customers are pushed through the system and persuaded to buy extra pairs and coatings that they don’t need. Working along with David, there is Nicola, Steve and John, all highly experienced Optometrists, and Fel, their friendly & efficient Receptionist and Optical Advisor.

Bennetts offer a personal service, where cus-tomers are offered not just a wide product range and competitive prices, but also receive glasses that meet their needs and budget and that fit properly, plus correct the customer’s vision accurately. “We are thrilled to find that we are being recommended time and time again by customers to their family & friends, who love our wide range, competitive prices and personal service”, said David. David and his team, look forward to seeing customers, both old & new and to assisting them with their Optical needs. Bennetts of Fleetwood, your local opticians. May we take this opportunity to wish you all and especially our customers a Merry Christmas from all the team David, Nicola, Steve, John & Fel

THORNTON LADIES CLUB DECEMBER 2010:

November’s fun evening with a twist; ‘CSI Thorn-ton’ was a wonderful opportunity for the ladies to bring along an unusual object for us to guess its use, we had great fun and no one brought along their husband (apologies men but it was too good an opportunity to miss).

The night out at Sands for the Queen tribute was brilliant and we had great fun (age of dancers and diners between 30 and 70!)

Wednesday 15th December will be our Christmas party – food, company and entertainment all ladies are welcome, the food list is already making pro-gress and anyone who wants to attend can contact me via email or phone to book their place and their food offering. We will be also having a ‘secret santa’ sack; ladies to spend no more than £5 on a gift for a lady, to be placed in a sack and drawn on the night.

Location of meetings: St John’s Church Hall, Stanah from 7.30pm Entrance £2.00. For more information tel: 01253

Points Deduction Setback Does Little to Dampen

TCFC Spirits

John Mendonca has long been an

admirer of the beautiful game and his

attention to detail has proved a win-

ning success. TCFC’s manager has

guided the club to two successive

promotions and if it was not for an

administration error they would be

sitting 3rd in the table of the premier

division their highest ever league

position. In deciding to dock TCFC 4 points the leagues

committee arguably could have looked at the circumstances

a little closer. TCFC’s kev Langton had been dismissed in a

competition unrelated to playing football for TCFC but the

governing authorities apply sanctions across all competitions

and herein lays the problem. In suspending a player who is

or has been registered with another club or competition the

Lancashire FA are not obliged to inform the club the club the

player is signed to only the contact/secretary of the competi-

tion. Disappointed was the reaction from John Mendonca

“I’m not blaming the league or the authorities they have their

job to do but something like this was out of our control and

as a result we end up being punished.” Nevertheless Men-

donca can be pleased with the start TCFC have made in the

top flight winning 6 and drawing 4 games from their opening

fixtures more pleasing are the crowds recognising good

football being played over 100 swelled the terraces at a

recent home game against Eagerly. Thornton Cleveleys FC

are moving in the right direction said Chairman Steve Abbott

our plans for the future are robust we have an excellent

senior squad combined with a very strong Junior section

which will ensure the club has a strong footing in our commu-

nity. TCFC’s new sports bar is also proving popular amongst

the community and its members recent Blackpool FC games

have attracted large numbers which added to an excellent

atmosphere
