Welcome to our
October issue
Welcome back after the summer break!
With three issues to go before the Christmas
break, we are looking forward to bringing you the
usual selection of local businesses advertising
their services as well as news and info about
everything taking place locally.
This month is no exception, and the community
pages are brimming with so many interesting
articles including one on the River Beal Café
which since its opening in August 2020, has
been a great meeting place for community groups
as well as dog walkers and ramblers.
This year’s Milnrow Calling Festival was a
phenomenal event and one of the best examples
of the local community as well as businesses
coming together with Andy Kelly providing us
with some great memories of a wonderful day on
pages 42 and 43.
On page 41 you can read all about the renovation
work which is taking place to Rochdale Town Hall
and how the restoration of this iconic building will
eventually return it to the splendour of when it first
opened in 1871.
Until next month…

Communication is key
in the Early Years
Communication and language is one of the three prime areas in the Early
Years Foundation Stage. At The Ark we recognise the importance of this and
have spent a lot of time researching and training around this area of learning.
We would like to share with you some top tips and strategies to support this
area of learning.
1. Make sure that you have the child’s attention
when you are communicating with them. Get
down to their level and ensure that they are
looking at you. This way they will be able to pick
up on any non-verbal communications, such as
actions, facial expressions or gestures that could
support the understanding of what is being said.
2. When giving instructions make sure that they
are clear and given one at a time in the order
it needs to take place. If they find it hard to
understand then give instructions one at a time
with gestures.
3. When communicating with children make sure
they have time to think and respond. At nursery
we follow a 10 second rule where we wait
and listen for up to 10 seconds for a child to
respond. Try it and see what happens.
4. Ask fewer questions and commentate play. For
example, instead of asking “What colour is that
car” when a child is playing with a toy car, say
“A red car”. This method supports children’s
learning and development and gives them the
confidence to use the language in context.
5. Repeat what a child has said adding clarity
where needed and more words. For example if
a child is playing with a yellow car and they say
“Yewoah” then repeat “Yes, yellow car” with a
big smile on your face.
“The first five years have
so much to do with how the
next 80 turn out”

and Melinda Gates Foundation

All our surfaces are low maintenance hard wearing as well as eco-friendly, and the fact
that they are fully suds compliant allows water to naturally drain through the surface.
We guarantee that they will add real kerb appeal to your property and there is plenty of
choice with over 45 colours available all complimented with a range of different edges, from
a simple block edge to a granite finish or a resin border. To compliment your installation,
we also offer all aspects of landscaping from retaining walls to artificial grass to a sleeper or
fence panels and all done by one company with no subcontractors.
Between us we have over 25 years of experience in the groundwork and landscaping
industry as well as the laying of resin bound surfaces.
We offer exceptional quality and value for money providing full design and a written
quotation. A project manager will work with you from the initial design to the completed job,
taking and sharing photos to show all aspects of the construction of the installation and giving
you added piece of mind that the work is being carried out to the correct procedure. We
appreciate certain driveway companies can leave a bad reputation in their wake, however
here at Superior Resindrives customer satisfaction is our utmost priority.
We can guarantee that Superior Resindrives are designed and installed to stand the test
of time so give us a call today for your free no obligation design and quotation.

RIVER BEAL CAFÉ COMES OF AGE
Great coffee, great times and great people
at Milnrow’s community café
River Beal Café is approaching its second birthday. Since
opening in Autumn 2020, the Milnrow based coffee shop
has established itself as a place where communities come
together. It is a hive of activity with local groups using
the café, from arts and crafts groups to spoken word
performances and even a Ukulele band! It has also gained a
great following with dog walkers and ramblers.
The community café offers great coffee as well as builder’s tea and good honest
food from cheese paninis to meat pies and all at down to earth prices! You can
pay by card as well as cash and pre-order by telephone. Where it differs from its
multinational rivals is the fact you could have a taste of Lancashire as well as Seattle!
In the last year, River Beal Café has joined the Chatty Café Scheme which means
that it prides itself as being a place for lively conversation, a chance to put the mobile
phones away and enjoy a cosy chat. It is one of many places under the Rochdale
Safe Place Scheme, which offers a safe place of refuge for people in distress. The
café’s welcoming atmosphere is also extended to our furry friends which means you
can pop it at anytime whilst out on a dog walk.
The café is run by Future Directions CIC, a Chadderton-based provider of personcentred
social care for people with complex care needs. In addition to being a focal
part of the community, it provides work experience for people with additional needs
and mental health issues. Each of its Baristas gain valuable experience in working
as part of a team and they all take great pride in customer service, as well as making
great coffee!
Plans were made for the café’s development in 2019 and all went well until the
first lockdown which meant that the café’s opening in Spring 2020 was delayed
till October 2020. Lockdown measures meant it could only operate as a takeaway
before closing and reopening in Spring 2021. Since then, it has found its feet,
coming into its own as a valuable community hub.
With excellent coffee, a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere and all at a great price, the
River Beal café has it all. So, whether you fancy a quick brew or a full cooked breakfast,
why not pop in and see for yourself, we very much look forward to seeing you!
River Beal Café is open from 10am to 5pm from Monday
to Friday and 10am to 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
It is also a five-minute walk away from Milnrow Metrolink tram stop.
You can also telephone on 07529 224941.

Rochdale Town Hall, a masterpiece
deserving of celebration
Rochdale Town Hall, widely regarded as one of the finest in
the country, is currently undergoing a multi-million pound
restoration which includes £8.9m from the lottery fund.
Phase two of the project is under way with the town hall due to reopen
next year in late summer 2023.
The aim is to return it to the original splendour of when it first opened
in 1871 and for it to be a building for the enjoyment of everyone.
Rooms are being developed into exhibition spaces to tell Rochdale’s
story alongside a new Bright Hall for events.
The Bright Hall is named after Rochdalian John Bright, a politician
and mill owner from the 1800s. He famously led the repeal of the Corn
Laws which placed tariffs on food imports making it too expensive to
bring in cereals from abroad, creating food shortages.
As you can imagine, the work taking place is comprehensive.
Renovations are taking place from the ground up to the installation
of a new roof. Hidden improvements include developing a more
environmentally friendly building including installing new insulation.
Councillor Janet Emsley, cabinet member for equalities, safety and
reform at Rochdale Borough Council, said: “The restoration and
the way the town hall will subsequently be used for all residents is
fantastic news for the borough.
“The building is a beacon for the whole region, it displays magnificent
gothic architecture and once complete will continue to shine for
generations to come.”
Much of the cleaning and repair is being carried out on site, especially
to the stained glass that adorns the building throughout. Some of that
has been transported to York for key preservation.
Most significantly the town hall is being made accessible. There will
be new ramps to make getting into the building easier and a new lift is
being installed.
Outside, the area is being completely landscaped with some new
grassed areas to complement new paving in a new Town Hall Square
that will be used for events.
Integral to the project are the large number of local residents who
have volunteered to give their time in assisting with the restoration
work. Their efforts have been key to driving the project forward and in
keeping it running to schedule.
One thing the town hall team are proud to be delivering upon opening is a new Welcome Gallery.
This will feature items and photographs that portray memories associated with the town hall.
Donations or long-term loans are still welcome, plus stories you may have that will remind visitors
of times past from events like festivals to other public gatherings.

Milnrow Calling 2022
The second Milnrow Calling
festival took place over the first
weekend of September at Milnrow
Cricket Club. Over one thousand
local people attended the daylong
celebration of live music acts,
food and fun.
I had the pleasure of being asked
to compere for the day and my first
thoughts as the day started were that it
couldn’t possibly go any better than the
previous year’s event. Milnrow Calling 2021
was for many the first time they had been
anywhere in almost 2 years as it was the
first big event after Covid restrictions
were lifted. The opposite happened and
people immediately knew what to do and
how to approach the day. It was like the
positivity and excitement had carried
over from the previous year.
On arrival there were a variety of mobile
food stands, all freshly made by local
companies. The bar was run by the
cricket club and there were a variety of
kids stalls including sweets, hair braiding,
face painting and bouncy castles.
Speaking of bouncy, the smaller of the
two stages was an inflatable dome whilst
the larger at the end of the field was a
rigid construction. The operators upped
their game this year with some superb
light shining on both stages which really
came to life at dusk!
First up and kicking the festival off, were
the ever reliable and well-loved Milnrow
Brass Band. “Mighty Milnrow” as they are
affectionally known, have been making
music since 1862 and are a championship
section band. To use an analogy, they
premiership and at one point recently
they were ranked number 20 brass band
IN THE WORLD. We are lucky to have them
and it’s great to see them at regular
points throughout n the year. What made
their performance - incredibly timed to
the strains of the 633 squadron- was the
overhead pass from a WW2 spitfire!
Next up was local singer song writer with
Leah Fisher her acoustic guitar. Despite
only being 20 years old, Leah has already
built up a reputation as one of the best
local female vocalists around.
Following on from their appearance at
last year’s event, the Frozen Duo, a couple
of Disney Princesses, banged out modern
and classic Disney songs. As well as
being extremely polished, well costumed
and with huge vocal power, what made
these two unique was their audience
interaction.
Next on the main stage were Classic
Rock Revival who relived the glory days
of classic rock from the 60s, 70s and 80s.
They are a full 8-piece band all the way
from London who knocked out classics
from genre-defining artists such as
Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC,
Lynyrd Skynyrd, Boston, and Steely Dan.
After a short break it was back to the
inflatable stage for “Rochdale’s Premier
Maricahi Band “Juan Direction.” Juan
D as they are known to their friends are
actually distant cousins of the Rochdale
favourite Irish Rock band The Scattering,
and the crowd were treated to a range of
Mariachi styled classics singalongs such
as Delilah, Don’t you want me, and I Want
to Break Free.
are in the footballing equivalent of the

With a reputation that needs little
introduction, Stax of Soul were next up.
A 9-piece function and party band born
and bred in Manchester, they describe
themselves as ‘The Real Deal’ with
genuine, finger-popping, foot tapping,
high energy, full-on party performance.
“JK as Robbie” has toured 19 countries
worldwide and has played to over 2
million people in live performances, and
he was the penultimate act at Milnrow
2022. He has appeared on many major TV
channels throughout the world and has
been recognised by the man himself and
throughout the performance, his looks
and mannerisms were absolutely spot on.
Closing the festival was MJ the legacy, a
jaw-dropping tribute to Michael Jackson
celebrating the music and career of the
undisputed ‘King of Pop’ with a live band
and backing dancers. MJ was performed
by CJ who looked and sounded every
inch the real deal and the audience
were treated to the full effect of the
lighting show that accompanied the
performance.
Overall, a great event for the local
community and local businesses.

This is another in our series of short easy walks
designed especially for those who want to start
regular leisurely walks for health and fitness
value. Less than 1.5 miles (2km) long from
the centre of Milnrow you are soon in lovely
countryside.
OUR ROUTE
We start at Butterworth Hall. Park your car in
the Charles Lane Car Park at the side of the
Community Centre and opposite the Milnrow
Pre School.
This lane terminates into a single width
footpath. Take the path on the right and
continue along it still with the sports field on
your right. The path is lined with foliage, Rowan,
Hawthorn, Oak etc and beings you to Tunshill
Golf Course.
Walk up the wide tree lined lane to the right of
P. N. Daly works entrance. This extends up past
Hollingworth Academy left, and their school
sports field right.
Cross over the small stile onto the golf course,
but be aware of the danger of flying golf balls
from all directions! Take the Route down right,
along a single width path marked by yellow
posts.

Continue down, crossing a Golfers path, down
between trees and bushes emerging at another
single width cross path. Go left up this hill
path with the Golf Course and Shelter on your
left, past the exit from the Golf Course with
waymarker sign, and descend down the path
over another small stile and onto a wooden
footbridge.
With the M62 motorway on the left, and the
Golf Course now over to the right, the path
emerges at a stile at Moy Hill, near the M62
underpass. Continue down Water Lane with
the Brook on the right emerging back at the
Waggon Inn and our Butterworth Hall
starting point.
The footbridge spans the source of the
Butterworth Hall Brook. Cross the footbridge
and follow the field path.
Our Group
According to recent press releases GP’s
are to start prescribing walking and cycling,
as part of a nationwide trial to help improve
mental and physical well-being. The Dept of
Transport announced £12.7 million has been
given to 11 local authorities to fund the pilot
social prescriptions. Unfortunately, our Local
Authority is not included in the scheme, but
here in Milnrow and Newhey, our Group have
long advocated walking for health, and for
GP’s to prescribe such measures.
We meet at Milnrow Library every Monday
morning from 9.30am, leaving out at 10am
on separate walks around our local
countryside. Our walks are free and friendly
and designed for people of all abilities, and
offer walking in safe and social groups, led by
Volunteer Walk Leaders.
New walkers are welcomed, as are children
accompanied by a responsible adult.

UPDATE FROM ST THOMAS’, NEWHEY AND ST JAMES’, MILNROW
With the arrival of October comes
the celebration of our harvest festival
It’s a time to be thankful for all the good things we have, for the beautiful place we live
in and the food we eat. In times of plenty it’s easy to forget to be thankful, we are used
to going to the supermarket and getting whatever we need. This October though, as we
begin to feel the rising cost of living bite, perhaps we are more aware of how lucky we are
if we have enough food to eat and can heat our homes reasonably well.
Karl Marx said “religion is the opium of the masses”. In other words, the purpose of
religion is to make the poor quietly accept their poverty in the hope that it will be better
in the next life. Karl Marx was wrong, though it is an understandable mistake given the
attitudes of many people who claimed to be religious at the time. You see, Christianity is
based on the teachings of Jesus Christ and particularly on the two rules he said were the
most important:
1. Love God
2. Love other people as much as you love yourself.
God created a world that could support the people and animals that live on it as long as
we look after it properly and share it’s bounty fairly. The trouble is – we don’t, do we?
We use and don’t replenish, we waste and litter, we sit on what we don’t need and ignore
those who do need it. And we’re ungrateful. As soon as it doesn’t go our way we moan
and blame God or someone else for the mess we have made.
It doesn’t have to be like this. The kingdom of God is coming, in fact it is already here,
breaking through when we least expect it, giving us hope. But we can’t just sit and wait,
that isn’t what God intends or Jesus told us. We have to help it along.
Which brings us back to rule 2, Love other people as much as you love yourself. Many
of us struggle to really love, we don’t even love ourselves properly – and I’m not talking
about romance but deep, real care for the wellbeing of someone. God loves us (all of us,
even the ones nobody else loves) so we should try and do the same.
That means standing up to injustice, pointing out inequality, arguing against selfishness
and greed. We need to give others the hope of the kingdom that is coming, not just in the
next life but here and now if we all work together. Which will make us the very opposite
of the drugged, accepting masses that Karl Marx thought religious people were.
I know that it sounds worryingly like I’m suggesting we all get out in the street and
protest (and for some it may well be that) but we can also have a quiet revolution up here
in the hills. If we share what we do have and refuse to buy into the greed and arrogance
that is so common in our society at the moment, we will find ourselves in a better and
happier place, even in these difficult times. And please, as the cold weather comes, lets
look out for those we think might be struggling, even if it’s only inviting them in for a
brew it could make more difference than you think.
Revd Janet Pitman

Opened in May
2022, Jolly Josh
is a fully inclusive,
purpose-built
centre that offers
accessible
play-based
sessions for
children with
complex needs
and their families
from the Borough
of Rochdale. Jolly
Josh is a place where children feel safe,
secure, and have their physical needs met,
enabling them to #ConnectSupportThrive.
The team at Jolly Josh are urging the families
of those who can benefit from the inclusive,
tailored, free of charge sessions, to come along
to Jolly Josh, which is based at Ensor Mill,
Queensway, Castleton.
“We have a timetable of age-appropriate
sessions for children and young adults between
0 and 19”, explained Lead Session Facilitator,
Rachel Bell. “The Centre has a range of
equipment to enable everyone access to play
and socialize. We now hold 8 sessions across
the week including evenings and weekends
and on Tuesday mornings we also invite a
visiting professional to provide valuable advice
in an informal setting” added Rachel.
Beginning in October, visitors can also benefit
from the Centre’s new Hydrotherapy Pool.
Hydrotherapy sessions are a multi-sensory
environment which help to stimulate a child’s
senses at the same time as having a calming
effect for those with physical, sensory and
learning difficulties.
“All of our sessions have such a positive impact”
added Rachel, “It’s also an opportunity for
parents and carers to meet up with and support
each other, connect with visiting professionals
and spend quality time creating special forever
memories”.
For more information about how you or
someone you know could benefit from
sessions at Jolly Josh, or how you can help
with fundraising for the charity, visit the
website www.jollyjosh.co.uk, email hello@
jollyjosh.co.uk visit the Facebook page (Jolly
Josh), follow on Instagram (JollyJosh1) or
contact the Jolly Josh Team on 01706 399 141
Jolly Josh is a Registered Charity based in
Castleton which was founded by devoted
mum Carole following the passing of her son
Josh, at just 15 months old. A healthy child at
birth, Josh’s health deteriorated at 4 months
of age and Carole’s journey and experiences
before his passing inspired her to establish
the specialist Centre, Jolly Josh.
5 years on and having received fantastic
support, Jolly Josh opened a brand-new
centre in Castleton solely for children with
Profound and Multiple Learning disabilities,
complex medical needs or physical disability.
Jolly Josh provides children of varying age
groups in the Borough with a safe place to
meet and engage with other children, along
with peer support for their families. Jolly
Josh’s aim is to connect with, support and
help thrive the children and families for
who other local groups and facilities are not
accessible or appropriate.
