PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Hi all
I am a month into my second term as president of
Wortley, and already had a fantastic start to the
year having had our 20th VVR which I believe
was very successful.
I would like to say a big thank you to all.moving
on we look forward to our Christmas Santa float
and our xmas dinner which this year is at Niagara
sports and social club on December 18th - hope
you will all please turn up and have some fun??
Millionaire’s Night in January should be a good
night too. Rotarian Anne has already mentioned in
club that we need commitment from members and
that no holidays should be booked (very slyly
looking at me when she commented on this ) -
think she was hinting about skiing?
Any way, I'm just asking all at Wortley to keep up
the good work. Remember the saying “without
you, there would be no Wortley, without Wortley,
people less fortunate would suffer more”.

Review of VVR
Rtn Anne outlined the figures so far – this is monies
taken on the gates etc and does not include raffle
money etc, and totals around £5600.
As well as the main beneficiary of this year’s event
Liverpool. My father was an electrician with Cunard, and we lived in a terraced house. I had an older brother. I attended St Edmund’s College for Girls, and whilst a teenager, took elocution lessons and joined an amateur theatre group. My father used to take me and my brother to the Pavilion Theatre in Liverpool.
2. Aged 15, I left school to become an actress. I
spent 5 years working in a library in Liverpool before starting my career in acting at the Adelphi Guild Theatre in Macclesfield in 1949. Before long, I was working in rep in Oldham, Stockport and York. I also worked as a wardrobe mistress and stage manager. I also appeared in Z Cars in the early 1960s and also played a minor role as a landlady in Coronation Street in 1962.
3. In 1964, I returned to Coronation Street in a
major role, which I played for 23 years. Through the years, I became highly popular with the viewers, so much so, than when my on-screen husband died in real life, I received condolence cards. In 1985, I received the Royal Television Society Award for my performance in the role. When I decided to leave in 1987, fans started a campaign to save the role, not realising that I had decided to leave. My final scene was aired on Christmas Day 1987 with viewing figures of 27 million.
4. The following year, I made a guest
appearance in a long running BBC comedy series as a money-grabbing junk shop owner. I returned the following year for a second guest appearance before becoming a regular in 1992, remaining until the series ended in 2010. I appeared in films such as “Scandal” (1989) as Christine Keeler’s mother, appeared
in “Boon”, and starred in “Rich Tea and Sympathy”. ”. I had my autobiography “The Other Side of the Street” published in 1989.
5. Throughout my career, I refused numerous
request to appear on “This is your Life. In 2005, I was voted as the “Greatest Soap Opera Star of All Time” by the TV Times readers. In 2014, I suffered a slight stroke. I was never married, and, after being taken to hospital feeling unwell on my 90th Birthday, died on October 14th, 2016

This Month’s Joke
The Third "Nile" virus is coming!
I thought you would want to know about this e-
mail virus. Even the most advanced programs
from Norton or McAfee cannot take care of this
one. It appears to affect those who were born prior
to 1965.
Symptoms:
1.. Causes you to send the same e-mail twice.
Done that!
2. Causes you to send a blank e-mail! That too!
3. Causes you to send e-mail to the wrong person.
yep!
4. Causes you to send it back to the person who
sent it to you. Aha!
5. Causes you to forget to attach the attachment.
Well darn!
6. Causes you to hit "SEND" before you've
finished. Oh , no not again!
7. Causes you to hit "DELETE" instead of
"SEND.." And I just hate that!
8. Causes you to hit "SEND" when you should
"DELETE." Oh No!
IT IS CALLED THE "C-NILE VIRUS."
Have I already sent this to you? Or did you send it
to me?
Another quick joke
During my physical examination, my doctor asked me about my physical activity level. I described a typical day, "Well, yesterday afternoon, I took a five hour walk about 7 miles through some pretty rough terrain. I waded along the edge of a lake. I pushed my way through brambles. I got sand in my shoes and my eyes. I climbed several rocky hills.I took a few 'leaks' behind some big trees. The mental stress of it all left me shattered. At the end of it all I drank eight beers." Inspired by the story, the doctor said, "You must be one hell of an outdoors man!" "No," I replied, "I'm just a shit golfer
