Welcome to the October Issue of 

Alkrington Life 

Welcome to the 10th Birthday Edition of Alkrington Life! 

What a decade it has been ! I never imagined when I began this 

journey ten years ago, that our community magazine would grow to 

become such a successful publication with three sister magazines in 

the surrounding areas. I have met many great people over the years 

and have made some wonderful friends. As ever, I urge readers who 

use the magazine to share the ‘Local Love’ with the businesses they 

contact, to prove the usefulness of the LIFE PUBLICATIONS. I thank all 

of our featured businesses and advertisers: some of whom have been 

with me since the beginning; our feature and editorial contributors and 

YOU the readers for helping me to build a fantastic local magazine. 

Let’s keep on, keeping it local - Here’s to another decade of LOCAL 

LIFE! 

There are so many fantastic features and events in this month’s 

bumper birthday issue, check out pages 16 - 20 for seasonal events not 

to be missed. I urge you all to pop in to see Toni at Vero Amore p12 

and see what a fantastic showroom and workshop she has lovingly 

created. 

I also wish to sincerely thank Beverley Eagleton 

for sharing the story of her brave journey with 

us on p.50. 

Welcome

Happy Birthday to my brave little girl Sophie, 

who will be 5 on the 14th and thank you to all of 

the staff at Oldham Hospital and NMGH who 

took amazing care of her recently, following a 

nasty accident, which resulted in a quadruple 

front tooth removal and a record breaking 

pay-out from the tooth fairy ! 

Best Wishes to you all !

Established in 2012 after proprietor Toni found inspiration from a friend 

to ‘upcycle’ a piece of furniture for her son’s bedroom. Vero Amore 

comes from Italian meaning True Love. It is exactly this true love, 

which has driven this business, from humble beginnings, to thrive. 

Toni has a passion for creativity and she was eager to open a shop in 

her local town and to bring a sense of community to Middleton. 

Toni and her mum Debbie would like to invite you to call in and say 

hello, take a look around the shop and view some of the stunning pieces 

and perhaps take a trip down memory lane with some of the vintage 

furniture and accessories. 

Toni is also keen to share the 

hand painting furniture and 

unique upcycling service, 

which is an eco friendly 

method of enabling people to 

keep the family pieces that 

they love.

DRINK 

Drinks Review 

By John Boylan 

This month I was on the hunt for some Big Wave by Kona. This is a very fashionable beer, 

andTHE beer to be seen with at any Hipster gathering. I had heard a rumour that M&S 

had it in, so off I went, full of hope and excitement, to M&S Simply Food in Prestwich. 

Imagine my disappointment then, when after searching high and low, I was told that the 

Prestwich store doesn’t stock Kona. Other stores do, just not that one. Mission: FAIL. 

Or so I thought… 

Marks’ wouldn’t be the most obvious of places to head to if I fancied a nice beer to welcome 

in a weekend, but I thought since I was there I might as well see what else they had 

to offer. I was in the mood for a lighter (in terms of colour and flavour), hoppy, ale and 

there were a few that caught my eye. So I bought one of each and set about doing some 

‘market research’ while watching the Rugby World Cup. Perfect! 

First up was Session IPA by Fourpure Brewing Co. Very nicely presented in a can, which I 

actually like, and which is an allusion to the American influence at work. 

A Session Beer is defined by beeradvocate.comas “Any beer that contains no higher than 

5 percent ABV, featuring a balance between malt and hop characters (ingredients) and, 

typically, a clean finish - a combination of which creates a beer with high drinkability” and 

therefore allowing the drinker to have multiple beers (if he/she so chooses) in a drinking 

session without getting wrecked. 

At 4.5% ABV, this pale ale was exactly what I was after. Light, crisp, refreshing but still full 

of flavour. Definitely a hit. 

Next, I went for Infrared by Hardknott which describes itself as “as hoppy as a bucket of 

frogs”. And so it proved. 

For me, and I can only go off my own personal taste here, there is a fine line between a 

beer that has the right level of hoppiness making the aroma and taste of the beer a beautiful, 

light and citrusy tang and then there being too much hop which makes the flavour 

very bitter. Certainly too bitter for me. 

Unfortunately I experienced the latter with this beer, and combined with a 6.5% ABV and 

the heavier flavours from the Crystal malt that give the beer a ruby-red colour, made it 

just too much for me. That said, it did suffer a disadvantage of having followed a light beer 

and I wonder whether if I had started with this whether my opinion would have differed. 

I’ll let you know. 


Next was 9 Hop. I was excited about the potential promised by the name. This one is 

brewed for M&S by Westerham Brewery and has an ABV of 4%. Again, I may have slipped 

up by having this beer follow the Infrared, but the name did not live up to it’s potential. It 

was refreshing and good as a palate cleanser, but ultimately quite bland. 

So far, so British. But next in line were 3 American Pale Ales. 

Sierra Nevada were previously known to me and were a fairly safe bet, so I went for two 

of their beers: Pale Ale and Torpedo. 

The Pale Ale is a classic and is arguably the benchmark of the American pale ale style. 

With 5.6% ABV, the blend of American hops gives this beer its iconic pine and grapefruit 

notes with a sweet malt that is complemented well. 

The Torpedo is the bigger and bolder brother to the Pale Ale. At 7.2%, it is strong and 

gives a big hoppy aroma. There is a danger of this beer being too bitter, but the citrus and 

pine flavour do just enough to temper the bitterness. 

Like I say, the Sierra Nevada beers were safe bets, but there is a reason for that. 

Last, but not least: Lagunitas Brewing Co IPA. 

Lagunitas is one of the top 5 selling craft breweries in the US and specialise in their interpretations 

of beer styles. The beer itself is full of flavours and aromas of pine and citrus 

fruit and perfectly displays the best American hops. It is perfectly balanced with just the 

right amount of carbonation. It was a new one for me, but I’ll be having it again. 

All in all, I was quite pleased with my selection. And what was demonstrated is that if 

what you are looking for isn’t there, don’t be afraid to try something new or different.

Bev’s Inspirational Story... 

Tonight I had the privilege of spending some time with a friend of mine and her lovely 

mum. We shared a coffee alongside her two fluffy cats - Angel and Frank, while she 

shared the story of how she has recently fought and conquered breast cancer. 

My friend’s name is Beverley Eagleton and many of you will know her. She is a young, 

vibrant and successful wife and mother and she is one of the funniest and at times the 

most outrageous (in a good way) people I know - definitely the life and soul of any party. 

Last September Bev was diagnosed with a grade 2 ‘Invasive ductal carcinoma’, a 2.3cm 

cancerous lump in her breast, to you and I. 

Bev’s diagnosis at North Manchester General Hospital came on her wedding anniversary 

and marked the start of a terrible year for the whole family. Unbelievably and cruelly, just 

one month later in November, Bev’s father-in-law Roy, was given the news that he had 

throat cancer. Then on Boxing Day, Gayna, Bev’s sister-in-law collapsed; she was told she 

had two primary cancers. Tragically Gayna passed away in February aged just 53 and only 

two months after her initial diagnosis. It is astounding to consider the weight of such 

tragedy on one family, especially in such a short space of time. Sadly this is the reality of 

cancer, but it is also a testament to Bev and her families’ positivity and courage that they 

have lived through such adversity with dignity and strength. 

Following the removal of Bev’s lump, she made the brave decision to undergo both 

chemotherapy and radiotherapy to be certain that all traces of the cancer were eradicated. 

The gruelling 18 week chemo treatment began on January 19th and initially Bev 

coped well despite being pumped with “four massive vials of poison” each time. By the 

time Bev had endured five bouts of treatment and with her immune system at its weakest, 

she reached her lowest point both emotionally and physically. Bev recalls , 

“ The chemo basically kills you to make you better”. 

In constant pain, unable to walk and with swollen lips, Bev found the dehumanising loss of 

eyebrows and lashes rendered her unrecognisable in the mirror. Ironically, Bev breezed 

through the loss of the hair on her head, in fact she embraced the ordeal with a “to the 

bone” head shave with a razor - courtesy of husband Ju, which suited her beautiful, 

delicate features. 

It was during this time that Bev had been in contact with Sian at The Christie Cancer 

Support Centre with an idea she had for The Royal Oldham Hospital Christie Unit. 

Thankfully Bev’s father-in-law completed his radiotherapy treatment in February and the 

whole family were there to see him ring the bell at The Christie Manchester to mark the 

end of his treatment. The idea is thought to have first emerged in the US. The bells are 

seen as a symbol of hope for patients as well as giving them a chance to mark a major 

milestone in their treatment with their families, hospital staff and other patients. Beverley 

was so inspired that she asked if she could donate a bell to The Christie at Oldham. 


On 9th July 2015 Bev rang the bell accompanied by her whole family who were there to 

support the fantastic achievements of their very special lady. Bev would be the first to 

contradict that description of her, 

“It’s just me, I’ve just got on with it. It’s surreal because it’s felt like someone else - 

but it’s just me.” 

The future looks bright and cancer free for Bev who remains under the care of NMGH 

for regular mammograms. She urges her friends and family to carry out regular checks 

and to be aware of how quickly and unsuspectingly this voracious disease can strike. It is 

alarming to Bev and to those who know her locally to consider the number of similar 

cases which have all occurred within a very close proximity. Bev would be interested to 

hear from other people from Alkrington who have been given a recent diagnosis and 

who would like to share their story. If you would like to get in touch with Bev, please 

email me in confidence at clare@alkringtonlife.com. 

I would like to thank Bev for sharing her very personal and inspiring journey with me and 

enabling me to share her story with you. I wish her , Roy and the rest of their family all 

the very best for the future. 

Your day has come to ring the bell 

Ring it hard, three times well, 

Ring it loud for all to hear 

Your treatment’s done, 

Let everyone cheer!
