Action Climate Change Tattenhall
ACCT was set up in
January 2007, with the support of the Parish Council, to explore how our
community can best make its contribution to reducing the causes of
climate change.
We are concentrating on the roles of both individual
households and of community organisations and businesses. Some of our
projects for 2008 are to work with the local school to help progress its
eco-aware plans; conducting energy surveys in selected village houses
and sharing the outcomes and collect information on household carbon
footprints. We are also trying to take practical initiatives with
recycling and consuming issues.
The group meets every month in the Barbour Institute.
We still need a few more members - there is a lot to do. We are
particularly looking for volunteers with special skills in IT,
finance/budgeting, writing and design - but whatever your skill we can
use it wisely. This is an ACTION rather than a discussion group,
although the debates are lively. The next 12 months will be busy. Do
consider joining us.

Membership of the Tattenhall & District PROBUS Club is normally
by invitation and is restricted to 40 subscribing members meaning
that there is an extremely friendly relationship between members
who know each other well. In addition, there are Honorary Members
who acquire this status when they reach 85 years of age or have
been members for 25 years.
The
Club is recognised for its very caring attitude not merely to
members but to their wives and widows. A wide range of social
activities each year involve the whole of this group bringing a
wider spirit of friendship and support which is demonstrated in a
variety of ways.
Each
year the Club organises a five-day holiday. In recent years
this has seen us visiting the Channel Isles, Bruges, Paris, Eire,
Nottinghamshire, Berkshire and Somerset while day visits to a wide
variety of national landmarks are scattered throughout the annual
calendar. The monthly lunch held at Rowton Hall Hotel, Chester,
brings a wide range of speakers and enables us to control the
business of the Club. Two of these lunches, in May and December,
are deemed "Ladies' Lunches".

past twenty years to become the main local organ of communication
for the area. The magazine covers, first of all, ecclesiastical matters
for the two parishes followed by reports on Parish Council meetings,
local school activities, Police & Home Watch developments. Finally,
details are published of the activities of the majority of
organisations,
groups and clubs operating within the locality and an advertising
section for local businesses is incorporated. The publication is
controlled by an Editorial Board, chaired by the Rector of St Alban's
Church. The Editor is assisted by many subscribers and willing helpers,
who all give their services free, to print, collate and distribute over
1,000 free copies of the magazine each month to every household

Tattenhall Home watch Scheme
Contact Graham Marsden:
Tel: 01829 771641
graham@xxgmarsden.co.uk
Established in 2000, the scheme consists of 6 main geographical areas
or 'groups' which cover the village of Tattenhall and properties in the
lanes on the outskirts of the village. Each group is controlled by a
group
co-ordinator, assisted by a number of assistant co-ordinators who each
oversee smaller sections of houses or single streets within the group.
The Group Committee consisting of the 5 Group Co-ordinators meets
regularly and, in April 2003, was responsible for over 60% of the total
of
approximately 1,000 properties in the area. The present thirty plus
co-ordinators are linked with the Ringmaster System, run by Cheshire
Police, and, internally, through a telephone and e-mail system to ensure
rapid communication.
The Group Co-ordinators have divided, between themselves, the main
activities involved in running the scheme in order to share the work
loads
involved. Day-to-day activity and communication links are the
responsibility
of Mr Graham Marsden to whom all communications should be addressed.
