This month sees the charity Petrus People, which advertise<br />

in all our magazines each month, celebrate their second<br />

birthday. Read about the good work that they do on pages<br />

44 and 45. We would recommend that you visit their store<br />

on Hamer Lane Rochdale OL16 2UL as it’s like an Aladdin’s<br />

Cave!<br />

A date for your diaries is definitely the Exhibition to be held<br />

at St George’s Church in April <strong>2016</strong> where local people will<br />

have the opportunity to view a life size replica of the Turin<br />

Shroud, one of only six in the world. On page 52 there’s<br />

also a list of key events at Springhill Hospice this year. With<br />

a bumper What’s On Guide, there’s plenty to look forward<br />

in the forthcoming months.<br />

Remember to contact us if you are organising an event or<br />

involved in a local cause and we will include your<br />

information for free.<br />

Until next month…….<br />

Need some help with<br />

technology?<br />

With just a few weeks to go before Rochdale Digital Festival returns, organisers have<br />

revealed more about this year’s event. The festival, aimed at de-mystifying<br />

technology and showing how useful, easy and fun to use it can be, will be staged at<br />

Number One Riverside on Saturday 27 <strong>Feb</strong>ruary.<br />

Names already confirmed to be at the festival include Barclays, Google, BBC iPlayer, 02 Rochdale and BT.<br />

They’ll be joined by a host of others including Boots, Rochdale Online and Hopwood Hall College.<br />

Organised by Rochdale Borough Council, in partnership with BBC Radio Manchester, the festival has been<br />

designed to improve people’s digital skills with hands-on help and advice for all age groups. Visitors will be<br />

able to find out how to do online banking, how to browse products, shop or read a book online, and get tips<br />

on using smartphones and tablets.<br />

If you want to know more about how to use technology to find a job, you can visit the Careers and Skills Zone<br />

for expert advice on the digital skills you need to find work in <strong>2016</strong> and beyond. For the first time there will<br />

be a Digital Community and Creative Zone, highlighting local digital projects and how they can help you.<br />

There will also be demonstrations of how residents can use the council website to avoid making unnecessary<br />

and time-consuming telephone calls or face-to-face visits. There will be friendly faces on hand to show how<br />

easy it can be and tablets, phones and computers will be available for people to try.<br />

Councillor Neil Emmott, Cabinet Member for Corporate Services and Neighbourhoods said:<br />

“We’ve really stepped up a gear for <strong>2016</strong> and already have a great line-up of local and national names<br />

joining us. It’s going to be an unmissable day for local residents, helping you do more online, whatever your<br />

level. You’ll be able to find out how to do online banking, how to browse products, shop or read a book online<br />

and get tips on using a smartphone or tablet. There will be friendly faces on hand to show you step by step<br />

just how easy it is, as well as tablets, phones and computers for you to have a go on.”<br />

The festival will bring together a range of exhibitions, performances and workshops and there will also be a<br />

‘help-bar’ where an 02 ‘guru’ and students will help you get the best from your smartphone and tablet.<br />

Rochdale Digital Festival is being held as part of BeOnline <strong>2016</strong> – a national two-week campaign to help<br />

people discover the internet and how it can help them make <strong>2016</strong> a year of transformation.<br />

If you’re already online, find out more about the event at www.rochdale.gov.uk/RDFest16<br />

DO MORE ONLINE: Rochdale Digital Festival is promising all the help you need to get to grips with<br />

technology.<br />

A Slice of Saturday Night<br />

A big taste of the 1960s comes to Rochdale<br />

Some of the best young musical talent in the borough will be onstage this April at the Curtain<br />

Theatre this April. The smash hit musical “A Slice of Saturday Night” tells the story of a single<br />

evening in 1964 in the basement “Club a Go-Go” nightclub. It is accompanied by a live four<br />

piece beat combo not dissimilar to The Fab Four and the fashions and haircuts match the beats<br />

and rhythms.<br />

Musical director Paul Nicholls is making his debut at the Curtain Theatre said, “A Slice of Saturday Night is one of my all-time<br />

favourite shows. What the writers have done is take the styles, riffs, solos and harmonies<br />

of dozens of favourite sixties tunes, and reworked them into a jukebox full of familiar<br />

seeming songs and routines. Every song in the show, sounds like you’ve heard it before,<br />

but you haven’t.”<br />

“The choice of show is no accident either.” added director Andy Kelly. “The production<br />

will showcase some of the best youth performers in the town, most of whom are making<br />

their Curtain Theatre debut. Most of the cast are studying performance or musical theatre<br />

at colleges across the North West, and are looking to go into acting professionally.<br />

We are very fortunate to get them now for this two week run.”<br />

This is not the first time Andy has tackled this material either. ”Twenty years ago, I<br />

played the part of Eddie in the show. And I was ten years too old then! The youngsters<br />

in the cast are all supposed to be around 17, and the show tackles the issues around<br />

relationships, growing up, love and separation- all in a comic way though”<br />

“A Slice of Saturday Night” by the Heather Brothers (with Kind Permission from Samuel French Limited) runs from Monday 11th<br />

April-Saturday 23rd April <strong>2016</strong> at the Curtain Theatre Rochdale.<br />

The Curtain Theatre manages its audience through an invite system. You are invited to come and<br />

see a performance by being on the invitation list, to which you receive the chance to see all of the<br />

five productions that year. (plus some guest companies who use the theatre.) To be added to the<br />

list you simply need to submit your full name and address to :<br />

Seven teenagers dance and eye each other and flirt on a Saturday night at<br />

popular Club A Go Go in a town in the British provinces. Sue is going out<br />

with Gary, but he flirts with Penny and the other girls at every opportunity.<br />

Sharon and Rick like each other but are too shy to tell each other. Eddie<br />

is challenged to a bet by the boys regarding "frigid" Bridget, over the<br />

course of the night he tries everything, with very little success. The owner<br />

of the club, ageing rocker Eric "Rubber-legs" De Vene, watches and lends<br />

an ear to the young people as they navigate the rituals of teenage<br />

fashion, music, and relationships.<br />

anything and everything; including furniture, clothing, electricals, toys, books, music, DVD’s, bric-a-brac and<br />

baby equipment. We have some weird and wonderful items donated even some items that we don’t know the<br />

purpose of! If you are having a clear out of items that are in good condition please call us, we can collect<br />

furniture locally.<br />

At the store we have received great support from a small army of around 85 volunteers! This amazing team<br />

of people have contributed in all aspects of the building maintenance and operation of the store. Rochdale<br />

Rotary Club has proved an indispensable source of support, labour and skills for us. Other volunteers are<br />

drawn from all areas of our community; Petrus service users, customers, donors, work placements, Rochdale<br />

people that want to support a worthy cause.<br />

We operate a free clothing scheme for people that are sleeping rough around our borough and for families in<br />

crisis situations. These are referred by an agency worker such as school worker, health visitor, support worker,<br />

housing officer.<br />

CRIME PREVENTION TIPS<br />

Throughout the cold months, please take care when<br />

deicing your car. If you are driving anywhere early in<br />

the morning and your car is covered with frost, don't<br />

leave the engine running while you are not with it,<br />

even if it is for a couple of seconds. Not only could you<br />

not be insured if your car is stolen, if you leave it on a<br />

road, running and unattended you could be prosecuted<br />

for the offence of "quitting".<br />

We continue to tackle burglaries in your area, research into<br />

Rochdale offences shows the below advice will help reduce the<br />

chance of you becoming a victim of burglary. Offenders are<br />

mainly entering houses through ground floor rear windows /<br />

doors - some of these have been windows left open, as the<br />

cold weather is on its way, open window insecurities will<br />

decrease but please if you are out or in another room close<br />

your windows & doors. Items from the garden are being used<br />

to aid the offenders, so far we have - Wheelie bins, garden<br />

rakes, garden chairs that have been used - if you have a shed<br />

please use & lock it keeping these items out of sign & mind of<br />

would be thieves. Some homes have been successful in<br />

disrupting offenders by having a working house alarm that is<br />

set while the occupants are out or in bed -<br />

each crime reported over the period<br />

researched shows where a house<br />

alarm has been set off the offenders<br />

haven't managed to gain access &<br />

have left with nothing.<br />

Please use this advice to reduce the chances of you becoming<br />

a victim of crime. This advice has been tailored to the<br />

particular type of criminals operating in the Rochdale area. We<br />

are working hard to tackle crime and antisocial behaviour in<br />

this area and information from the community is vital.<br />

BEAT THE BURGLAR<br />

Outside - your first line of defence<br />

•Walls, gates and fences - High fences are hard to climb, but<br />

they give a burglar cover once he's over. So keep them low.<br />

The best have a trellis on top, making them difficult to climb.<br />

And make sure to lock any gates to prevent access to the side<br />

or rear of your property.<br />

•Hedges and plants - Prickly bushes and hedges around a<br />

garden can act as a deterrent to a burglar.<br />

•Lighting and driveways - Get an outdoor light with a sensor<br />

that comes on when someone's around and don't<br />

underestimate the deterrent of a gravel drive. It makes quite a<br />

noise when walked on and can deter burglars.<br />

Is anybody home?<br />

Lights - You can get plug-in timers for your lamps - and timers<br />

for your ceiling lights. Don't just light up the hall. Fool a<br />

burglar by lighting up the landing, bathroom, bedroom and<br />

living room too. Really fox him by varying the times each light<br />

comes on. Sound advices - Use a plug-in timer for a radio -<br />

make it a talk station rather than music.<br />

Windows - Remember to shut all windows, even small and<br />

upstairs ones, when you leave the house, in your garden or<br />

in the rear of your property. If you're upstairs, close your<br />

downstairs windows and if you're planning some time<br />

away, get a trusted neighbour to shut the<br />

curtains at night. You could return the favour<br />

some time!<br />

community but I want to give them some reassurance that this<br />

was a targeted attack and the local community should not feel<br />

unduly concerned.<br />

witnessed the incident and I would ask that these people come<br />

forward and tell police what they saw or give us any<br />

information they may have about who is involved.”<br />

Burrs Country Park and<br />

The River Irwell<br />

Bury, of course, is famous for its market and its black puddings. It also has some interesting and beautiful countryside<br />

on its doorstep and this walk is a short taster of what it has to offer. Take the Brandlesholme Road out of Bury and<br />

very shortly turn right following the brown signs to Burrs Country Park. Leaving the car at the car park take a few<br />

minutes to read the interesting stories on display on the information boards which explain the industrial heritage<br />

of the site. Now head for the caravan site but soon turn left and follow the path around the large grass field which<br />

will soon lead you to a walk through woods down to the River Irwell. As you approach the river you will walk<br />

alongside a channel which was constructed at the time of the Manchester, Bolton and Bury canal to feed the reservoir<br />

at Elton some two miles away which in turn fed the canal. This was supplied by the construction of a weir, which<br />

you soon reach, to raise the water level. The system is still working some 220 years since its construction although<br />

the canal is long since defunct.<br />

Continue to follow the path until you come to a railway bridge under<br />

the East Lancashire Railway where you may encounter a steam train<br />

working the line from Bury to Rawtenstall. Pass under the bridge and<br />

follow the road up by a couple of farms until you reach a path turning<br />

sharply left marked Irwell Sculpture Trail which you should now follow.<br />

I could not see any sculptures so good luck with finding any. The path<br />

now passes above woods and when you come to a turning to the left<br />

follow it down through the woods to a railway crossing. Cross the<br />

railway carefully and turn right and you will soon reach Station Road.<br />

Here is a fine bridge over the river which you should cross. Soon you<br />

will arrive in the hamlet of Summerseat where you will find a garden<br />

centre with toilets and refreshments.<br />

Continue to the end of the terraced houses and turn left up the flight of steps. At the top follow the road for a hundred<br />

yards then turn left along Higher Summerseat where two pubs offer meals. The walk now levels and offers expansive views towards Tottington,<br />

Walshaw and Holcolm Hill. Across the Irwell valley Rooley Moor wind farm is clearly visible. Once you have passed the new tennis centre<br />

and reached the main road it is worth catching a bus if one is due. This will save a somewhat tedious walk along this busy section of road.<br />

If you do so then alight at Hunstanton Drive. If you walk then the<br />

varied architecture of the property hereabouts offers some interest<br />

to this section of the walk.<br />

Walk down Hunstanton Drive to the bottom of the hill and turn<br />

left. On your left you will find the canal feeder once again<br />

looking like static water. Below it must move very slowly on its<br />

inexorable journey to Elton. In a few hundred yards you will<br />

be back at the car. There is an old pub The Brown Cow, built<br />

as a farm in 1792, tucked away near the caravan site which<br />

will hopefully be open for refreshments and toilets. The full<br />

walk is about 5 miles.<br />

TURIN SHROUD EXHIBITION COMING<br />

TO ROCHDALE<br />

Everyone loves a good mystery. The Loch Ness<br />

Monster, the Bermuda Triangle and the Mary<br />

Celeste are just three but among the longest<br />

lasting and most baffling puzzles is the Turin<br />

Shroud. This has divided experts for centuries and<br />

even today there is no definitive view.<br />

For those who have never heard of it, the Shroud of Turin is a<br />

strip of linen cloth about 12 feet long which is held in Turin<br />

Cathedral and very rarely seen in public. The last occasion was<br />

when the current Pope was given access to the relic during a visit<br />

to the city last year (2015).<br />

So what is so special about it? The Shroud carries an image of<br />

a man of middle-eastern appearance, both front and back. He<br />

is about six-feet tall and has long hair, typical of men in biblical<br />

times. There are what appear to be blood stains and wounds in<br />

hands, feet and side which coincide with the accounts of Jesus<br />

Christ’s death as described in the Gospels. A few singe marks<br />

and minor repairs are also in evidence. The image is like a<br />

photographic negative.<br />

Many experts believe that this is the actual burial shroud of Jesus<br />

Christ in which he was wrapped after being taken down from the<br />

cross, laid in a tomb and then rose again on Easter Day – the<br />

foundation of Christianity.<br />

Equally there are experts who discount this theory but one thing<br />

that puzzles them all is how the image came to be on the cloth.<br />

Photography was unknown but the image is anatomically correct.<br />

How was it imprinted on the cloth?<br />

Surprisingly carbon dating has been allowed only on strands of<br />

cloth used to repair the Shroud, probably in the middle ages but<br />

no one has been allowed to remove strands from the original<br />

material to test its authenticity.<br />

Now people of all faiths (and none) in Rochdale will have the<br />

opportunity to see a full-size replica (one of only six in the world)<br />

in an exhibition which will be in Saint George’s Church,,<br />

Thai Style Mussels<br />

I love mussels but only if really fresh, in season<br />

and nice and plump. I’ve given them an Asian<br />

style makeover which gives them an awesome<br />

kick. Have some hot crusty bread ready at the<br />

end to mop up the juices.<br />

If your in a rush or a bit dodgy with your knife<br />

skills you could always blend up the onion, chilli,<br />

garlic, ginger, fennel and lemon grass in a food<br />

processor instead of chopping everything fine by<br />

hand.<br />

Thai Style Mussels<br />

Serves 2<br />

2 table spoons olive oil<br />

1 small onion – chopped fine<br />

1 red chilli – de-seeded and chopped fine<br />

1 clove garlic – chopped fine<br />

1 knob of fresh root ginger – chopped fine<br />

½ fennel chopped fine<br />

½ lemon grass – chopped fine<br />

Method<br />

1) Heat the olive oil in a large sauce pan. Add the onion, chilli,<br />

garlic, ginger, fennel and lemon grass and sauté for 3-4<br />

minutes until softened.<br />

2) Add the mussels and white wine and cover. Cook over a high<br />

heat for approx 4 minutes shaking the pan frequently until the<br />

mussels open.<br />

3) Transfer the mussels to warmed serving bowls and add the<br />

coconut cream and coriander to the cooking liquor in the pan.<br />

Bring to the boil, season to taste then pour over the mussels<br />

and serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lime .<br />

1200g mussels<br />

250ml dry white wine<br />

To Finish<br />

50g coconut cream<br />

1 table spoon roughly chopped<br />

coriander<br />

Squeeze fresh lime<br />

Springhill Hospice Winter Update<br />

Man of Rochdale <strong>2016</strong><br />

With a heavy heart the team at Springhill Hospice waved goodbye to the 2014-<br />

Town Hall last November and graciously handed over the reins and responsibility<br />

of Rochdale Man of the Year 2015-<strong>2016</strong> to Celebrity Chief Andrew Nutter, a<br />

great fundraiser for local causes and a fantastic ambassador for Rochdale.<br />

616 Santa’s registered for the event’s 10th Birthday celebratory saunter or sprint<br />

around Hollingworth Lake – watch out for an update later in the year on the<br />
