There is a great deal of instability and uncertainty for those looking for jobs and even those with jobs, wondering if the company will stay open. “We have some fantastic companies here in West Lancashire that offer high quality products and who are at the forefront of their industries. “We must support these companies to ensure they thrive and continue to provide job opportunities locally. In order to do so it is important that people looking for a job have the right skills and experience. “While there is a lot of focus on building the city economies of London, Liverpool and Manchester, we cannot ignore places like West Lancashire. There is a lot of good work happening here and it needs to be encouraged and nurtured just as much as our cities.” henry.james@champnews.com M58 M58 PRECISION. PERFECTION.

The Champion • Wednesday 28 November 2012 Rudolph is on the run... for charity DOZENS of runners helped to raise hundreds of pounds for charity at a festively–themed fundraising event in Ormskirk last weekend. The Rudolph Run, held last Sunday (November 25), saw scores of contestants don Christmas–themed fancy dress costumes for the event at Edge Hill’s Sporting Edge athletics facility on St Helens Road, with the Lancashire Defibrillator Campaign, West Lancashire’s scout groups among the North West Air Ambulance among the charities which benefited. Sue Murrin–Bailey, one of the event’s organisers, said: “It went really well, and although the weather on Sunday morning might have put a few people off we still had more than 140 runners taking part on the day, helping to raise a lot of money for a number of good causes. “One of the highlights for me was seeing members of all the emergency services, with the exception of the air ambulance, in uniform with all of their vehicles, for a special race. It helped to show just how important their role is, and how they work together. I think everyone who took part in the day not only raised a lot of money, but had a lot of fun too.” Among the highlights of the event was a special race which saw representatives from different branches of the emergency services taking part, with the police first on the scene to rescue a collapsed reindeer at the finish line. Phil Jones, Fire Station Manager for Pitch project is underway WORK is underway on laying ‘high quality’ all–weather pitches at Edge Hill University as the first phase of a £15 million project to build new sports facilities nears completion. Part of the “state–of–the–art complex” will be completed in time for Christmas for students, staff and the community to enjoy. The all–weather sports facilities together with additional grassing on the land beyond the University’s leisure centre are costing £9m and will include 3D surfaces, multi–courts, hockey and football pitches. The site will also benefit from floodlighting. Vice–chancellor John Cater said: “Good pitch construction requires solid foundations, good drainage and quality materials, which is why we have chosen a highly reputable local company to carry out the project. “J Mallinson in Ormskirk are renowned for their high profile work at stadiums such as the City of Manchester Stadium, Goodison Park and Old Trafford as well as training facilities for Liverpool FC at Melwood. “The end result will see the creation of the eastern campus and will provide space for new student learning and recreational facilities for many years to come, making it a campus that truly matches, in both quality and scale, the best in the UK.” Facilities will include running tracks, soccer, rugby and athletics fields, netball and tennis courts and a trim trail with exercise stations. In time, a single–storey building will accommodate an eight–court sports hall with viewing gallery for basketball, netball, badminton, five–a–side football and general sports use, a 25–metre swimming pool, a 100–station fitness suite, aerobics studio, health suite with sauna and steam rooms, a café and lounge area. The outdoor sports complex will be completed next year, ready for the 2013/14 intake and community use from next Autumn. Ormskirk and Skelmersdale, said: “Today was a bit of competitive fun with our front line emergency service partners. It also reflected our inter agency approach to emergency incidents and emphasised in a fun way, the vital requirement for a defibrillator at the scene of an emergency”. A number of runners also took part to raise money for their own charities on the day, helping to boost the amount generated for good causes. Edward McCarthy, who took part to help raise funds for West Lancs Positive Living, said: “The Reindeer Run was really good fun, we have took part over the last few years and raised funds for good causes in West Lancashire but also highlighted the work that the various charities, including ourselves do.” Plans are underway for another event next year.
