Chips strips!<br />

Lytham St Annes’ Under 7s football team has Jon<br />

Doyle, of CHIPS Lytham St Annes, to thank for<br />

their smart kit. Jon, whose CHIPS store is on The<br />

Crescent, was only too pleased to help out with<br />

sponsorship when he was asked to help the lads<br />

and there’s no mistaking the CHIPS name on their<br />

smart green-and-white strip.<br />

The boys have been training together for the<br />

last two years and the squad is now 20-strong.<br />

Over the summer, there have been a number of<br />

tournaments along the Flyde Coast and the team<br />

has been taking part and doing extremely well.<br />

Among the squad of budding Beckhams,<br />

eight are training at the Manchester United<br />

Development Centre in Blackpool and one is at<br />

the Liverpool Development Centre.<br />

The youngsters love every minute of their<br />

time on the pitch and they really are the envy<br />

of all the kids around for having such a cool and<br />

generous sponsor.<br />

Congratulations to James Vickers, 11,<br />

of Fulwood, Preston, who scooped the<br />

incredibly rare World of Warcraft<br />

signed and framed artwork print in our<br />

spring competition. The huge 26 x 42inch<br />

picture, signed by leading fantasy<br />

artist Dan Scott, is one of only 20 in<br />

the world. The picture was donated by<br />

BradyGames. Well done James!<br />

Young artist Stephanie Fong has a great talent,<br />

as you can see. This is a drawing of Squall<br />

Leonhart, from Final Fantasy VIII, created by<br />

the 14-year-old.<br />

Stephanie, who attends Highworth Grammar<br />

School, has shopped at CHIPS Ashford in Chapel<br />

Mews since the store opened and she’s a great<br />

RPG fan. Her favourite game of all time is Final<br />

Fantasy VII.<br />

CHIPS Longton customers have<br />

helped big-hearted franchisee<br />

Stephen Osborne boost the coffers<br />

of a Stoke on Trent hospice.<br />

Stephen was so impressed with<br />

the care given to his nan, Irene<br />

Osborne, in her final days at the<br />

Douglas Macmillan Hospice, he<br />

decided to show his gratitude by<br />

raising funds for the charity in shi<br />

store, and with his customers’ kind<br />

help he managed a grand total of<br />

£112 in memory of Irene.<br />

“Douglas Macmillan Hospice<br />

cared for my Nan and gave her<br />

dignity and comfort in 2006. The<br />

work it does is fantastic and I<br />

am delighted to help them,” said<br />

Stephen who is pictured handing<br />

the donations to Nicola Hancock, of<br />

Douglas Macmillan Hospice.<br />
