Houghs. They would remain married for over 60 years until
Winnie passed away at the age of 97 in 2004. Bill
unfortunately also lost his daughter in 2008. He now lives
with his son in law John, and regularly sees his grandchildren
Ian and Joanne, and his great-grandchildren, Nathan and

Outside work Bill was a keen sportsman – playing for one of

doubles were allowed so as to let everyone get a game.

Bill also gave a home to the Bowling club for many years

William (Bill) Thompson was born on the 11th October 1912

village since before 1750. He grew up living at Hawthorne

Norley School leaving at the age of 14.
He then started work with Alf Lewis as an apprentice Joiner.
Alf Lewis’s father had taken over the business from Bill’s

The Village of Norley 2012 Responses to Questionnaire sent to all Households
A survey of the households of Norley parish was
undertaken during July and August 2012, and at the Norley
Garden Show on September 1st. The survey sought to
obtain the views of villagers on the existing village, their
concerns for the future and what changes to the village they
would most like to see.
Up to mid September 80 questionnaires were completed and
returned from a total of 494 sent to all residences. More
returns are expected, but these results have been reviewed
by the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Committee and are
described below:
Summary
Likes: The majority of replies liked the rural setting of
Norley with its quiet and green characteristics. It is
considered un-crowded with plenty of open green space.
The amenities of shop and pubs are seen as key attributes of
the village. The friendly attitude of residents and the strong
community spirit is considered a major asset.
Concerns: The over-riding major concern was of
inappropriate house developments either having occurred or
likely to occur in the future. Vehicle speeding, particularly
along High Street, but also at other locations has been
identified as a serious problem.
Changes Sought: The need for and introduction of limited
affordable housing, but not as an estate, is recognised.
Linked to this is the use of existing buildings / infill plots to
create more smaller properties. An improved bus/public
transport service is seen as a requirement. An improved
broadband facility is also required. continued on page 15

Rene’s café came to life in Norley Village Hall on Saturday October 13th as a fundraising Allo Allo night got underway. There was a full house as all 80 tickets had been snapped up. The whole audience got into the spirit of the evening, with many people arriving in fancy dress – complete with berets, silk scarves, stripy tops and garlic garlands hung round necks. Audience participation continued as John Davidson, Chairman of Norley Parish Council and fellow Norley man, David Snow were both selected from the crowd for roles as the English airmen hiding under the bed. This saw them in ladies frocks and wigs for the rest of the evening. “There are great characters and risqué humour, and it goes down very well in a setting like Norley Village Hall,” said Arnold Ashbrook, who played the role of Leclerc. “I think the evening was great. It was the ideal place as you’ve got the banter from the audience, which you need for something like that – banter makes it even funnier. “It works best in a small venue where it really feels like you are in a café and everybody is so close that they feel they can get involved,” Arnold added. Laura Williams, from Hatchmere, who played Yvette, said “From our point of view it was the best one we have ever done. The audience was amazing.” Laura’s son, James Williams, who is 16 years old and currently in the sixth form at Sir John Dean’s College, shone in the effeminate role of Gruber with utterly convincing hip wiggling and lusty looks. “But the campness was pure showmanship. He’s very good,” said Arnold. James has played the role several times and admits that perfecting the camp mannerisms took time. “It’s got more natural the more I’ve done it, and got more comfortable with it,” he said. Initially, James had to be ‘bribed’ by his mother to give drama a go, but now he loves it and is doing more and more, with several comedy roles under his belt now. And to the audience’s delight, Phil Murray was more than ‘just pissing by’ in his role as Officer Crabtree, as he ensured everyone had a good evening thanks to his ‘good
moaning.’ Howls of laughter ensued right to the final moments of the evening, when, Neil Silcock, playing the straight laced Herr Flick, shed his full length trench coat to reveal he was sporting some rather racy ladies’ lingerie underneath, complete with suspenders. The Kingsley Players are seasoned pros at putting on Allo Allo nights, having first done them two or three years ago, after having written to the original author and gained permission to put the show on. Bringing the show to Norley was the brainwave of Noreen Ashbrook, who unfortunately, due to illness was unable to attend on the night. She was inspired by her connection with the Kingsley Players through her husband Arnold Ashbrook, who acts and writes plays and musicals for the drama group. “The Kingsley Players have done a touring production of Allo Allo in several towns around the Cheshire area,” said Jon Wild, Chairman of the Norley Village Hall Committee. “Quite a lot of work was involved in putting on the evening in Norley. As well as all the organising by the members of the village hall committee, the Kingsley Players themselves put in a lot of work on the day. Stephné Douglas (with help from her mum) led efforts on the catering, and all of the Committee worked really hard all evening - looking resplendent dressed as French maids! Some young people from the village also helped us out a lot – thanks to George, Phillippa and Maddie. “I think it was superb. I’ve had a lot of good feedback from villagers who say it was one of the best nights we’ve organised. “We haven’t yet got a final figure, but we do know it raised a good amount of money for the village hall,” Jon added. The Kingsley Players’ will be putting on a musical production of The Amazing Mr Scrooge, based on A Christmas Carol from 5th to 8th December. To buy tickets visit www.kingsleyplayers.co.uk

There were many other issues raised but, to date, are not
popularly supported.
Details:
The responses on the survey form have been categorised
under the headings environment, property, commercial,
infrastructure, social and community, and other, to enable
the Steering Committee to address the responses in more
detail. Because the questions asked were ‘open’ there has
been a wide spread of responses. Generally people limited
their replies to three "Likes"' three "Concerns"' and two or
three "Preferred Changes". However, certain issues repeat
across many responses and these are summarised below.
Percentages referring to a particular topic are the number of
questionnaire returns which specify that topic, as a
percentage of the total number of questionnaires returned
(80). Where a particular topic has less than 15%
“support” (ie less than 12 responses) it is not reported here.
Likes
Environment
The majority of replies [80%] liked the rural setting of
Norley with its variety of wildlife and proximity to
Delamere Forest
The small and spreadout nature of Norley with plenty of
open green spaces amongst the builtup areas is valued
[30%].
A significant number [35%] valued the quiet and tranquil
nature of Norley after taking account of a very small
number of concerns about Noise.
Commercial
The amenities of shop, pubs and (to a lesser extent),
restaurant, are seen as key attributes of the village [51%].
Infrastructure
Good road connections to major cities and towns is
appreciated [16%].
Social and Community
The friendly attitude of residents and the strong community
spirit is considered a major asset [40%].
The existence of a villlage school is valued [20%].
Concerns
Property
The over-riding major concern was of inappropriate house
developments either having occurred or likely to occur in
the future [85%]. This was expressed in three main ways:
Large replacement dwellings out of character [26%].
Future Estate development / large over –expansion [26%].
Inappropriate development (no further explanation given)
and Greenbelt development [33%].
Infrastructure
Vehicle speeding, particularly along High Street, but also at
other locations has been identified as a serious problem
[20%].
Changes Sought
Property
The need for and introduction of limited affordable housing,
but not as an estate, is recognised. Linked to this is the
use of existing buildings / infill plots to create more
smaller properties [40%].
Infrastructure
An improved bus/public transport service is seen as a
requirement, both in frequency and operating periods
[23%].
Continued from page 10
16 Norley News— October 2012
Slow broadband is a concern and an improved broadband
facility is required [20%].
Improvements to traffic management / control speeding are
wanted in various locations [18%] .
There were many other issues and ideas raised but, to date,
are not yet popularly supported. There were also many offers
of help which are gratefully received, and all of these will be
followed up.
Further consultations with village organisations are planned
so as to expand the number of responses and help us to
produce a Baseline Report which we are aiming to complete
early next year. This will be shared with the community and
we hope will form the first stage in a three stage process for
producing an agreed Neighbourhood Plan for the next 20
years.

Class 3 visit the
Grosvenor Museum in
Chester. On Thursday 27th September Class 3
went on a Federated visit with
Kingsley St John School to the
Grosvenor Museum in Chester.
Our first task was to draw some of the Roman gravestones
before doing a Roman quiz in one of the galleries.
Next we did three workshops, one as archaeologists looking
at stones, bones and pottery. One looking at the kinds of
food the Romans would have eaten and one about the
Roman baths.
We were then shown some of the armour that a Roman
soldier would have worn and Nathan and Alfie-Joe were
dressed as soldiers.
After lunch we were introduced to a Roman soldier, who
dressed us in armour and took us on a walking tour of
Chester. He showed us the remains of some Roman baths
and explained about the Gladiators fighting in the
Amphitheatre. Walking back to the museum we were
allowed to shout out “Sin, sin, sin, dec, sin.” which means
“Left, left, left, right, left.” in Latin.
We had a very busy day and we learnt a lot more about the
Romans.
Here are some of the children’s comments.
“In the workshop we found out how the Romans got their
heating in the pools.”
“In my group we made mosaics with colourful tiles.”
“We went to the kitchen area and did some grinding of
spices.”
“Some people dressed up as slaves and did the chores.”
“I liked the Roman soldier because he let us shout and we
nearly gave the teachers a headache!”
Rugby On Wednesday 3rd October we went to go and compete in a
TAG rugby competition at Helsby Rugby Club. Our first
match was against Hillside. The next match we played was
against Weavervale B. Then we played Alvanley and that
was the semi final so we had to win and we did just that as
we had won all of the previous matches. The final was
against Hillside so the pressure was on us. It was a very
close match but we won the match 6-5. So we won the
golden TROPHY! Again. We are through to the next round
of the competition at Whitby Social Club next Thursday.

Macmillan Coffee Afternoon On Friday the 29th of September, we had a Coffee afternoon
for Macmillan Cancer Support. We all brought in cakes, tea,
coffee, old books and flowers to make the afternoon
complete. Class four had a job each to make the afternoon
as amazing as last year. Abi and Imogen made tea and
coffee, Charlotte and Sandy served the cakes, Lily and
Lauren washed the dishes, Dawid gave out plates, Dan
collected donations and all the year fives socialised and
made sure everyone was comfortable. All together .the
Macmillan coffee afternoon was a great success, as we
raised £180!
We hope that next year will be as successful as this year!
Thank you very much for your help and support.
By Imogen and Lauren.
There have been x2 similar burglaries on Friday afternoon,
early Sep. One at 2.30pm in Guy Lane, Waverton, where a
householder, working in their garden was distracted by a
male talking to him whilst an accomplice burgled the house
via an insecure door. The offenders are believed to have
been in a BMW vehicle. If you can assist in identifying this
vehicle, please contact the police. During the same
afternoon, in Townfield Lane, Farndon, an occupant was
working in her garden between 2pm and 3.30, leaving her
front door ajar. She later discovered that someone had
sneaked in and burgled the house.
As always, so many offences are opportunistic in nature.
Please ensure that you keep ALL doors locked at all times
and that shed and garage locks & hinges are up to the job.
A number of metal drain covers have been stolen,
particularly around the Frodsham and Helsby areas. Also,
electricity cables have been stolen from poles and lead
taken from the Church Hall roof in the Elton area. All these
offences are clearly for ‘scrap’ metal and obviously have a
major impact on public safety. These are not victimless
crimes – the utility companies have to repair the resulting
damage at a cost far in excess of the value of any metal
taken, and these costs are obviously passed on to the
customer – you and me! Offenders will often try to portray
themselves as workmen – please pay attention to any
activity around any such locations – genuine workmen will
usually be clearly identifiable from a well known company
and will have all necessary safety equipment. Offenders
may have a van and high-vis jackets, but will rarely utilise
any safety equipment! Please phone in any suspicious
activity as soon as you see it. Genuine workmen will be
only too pleased about any police attention.
We have had a burglary reported from Church Close,
Frodsham, where offenders have forced a rear window
overnight and stolen a variety of jewellery, cash and
electrical items. The opportunities for offenders will only
increase as the nights draw in and the autumn gales disguise
the sound of prowlers. Please ensure that all locks and
frames are strong and in a good state of repair.
On Monday 17/9/12, a resident of Chester Road, Delamere
saw a silver van, partial registration NC08_ _ _ with ladders
on the roof, drive slowly up her driveway. On seeing the
resident, the van immediately drove off at speed. This was
an isolated rural location, and it is doubtless that the
occupants of the van were up to no good. If you have seen a
similar van, or can assist with the full registration, please
contact the police, as we are very keen to find out what the
van was doing there and ascertain if it may have been
involved in any other offences in the area.
Also overnight on 21/9/12, but this time up in Park Lane,
Frodsham, two houses were burgled by gaining entry
through the rear door. Computer equipment and jewellery
was stolen. Please ensure that all door and window frames
are strong and well fitting, and that locks conform to BS
safety standards – these standards are set because they offer
a good level of security. Inferior locks tend to be weak or do
not protrude sufficiently into the frame, so are easily forced.
Overnight on 29/9/12, a house in Kelsbarrow Way, Kelsall
was broken into. The offenders attempted to gain entry
through the back door, before finally managing to force the
front door. This was clearly a determined effort, and
reinforces the earlier advice about ensuring that all locks
and frames are in good condition.
The first in Oct Sunday into Monday, an address in Ellis
Lane, Frodsham had its shed broken into. A number of
bikes were moved out of the way in order to steal a more
valuable bike! It is quite possible that the offender had seen
the bike being put away and so knew its location. If you
have expensive bikes or other valuable property in your
shed, please make sure that the shed has appropriate
security in place for the value of the contents!
My most common message over recent weeks, is that most
thefts are opportunistic in nature and would be prevented by
sensible precautions and even a modest degree of security
measures!
Please avoid becoming a victim by carrying out a quick
review of your normal security measures.
