ACHIEVEMENTS, HIGHLIGHTS, SUCCESSES<br />
Congratulations to our local team from the Hollins Green Indoor<br />
Bowling group who have reached the quarter finals of the Cheshire<br />
Villages League - we’ll keep our fingers crossed for them! If interested<br />
in a spot of indoor bowling then see p.11 for times and contact details.<br />
St. Helen’s Church are proud of one of their younger members, Emily<br />
Lowndes, who is working as a volunteer with Y Care International in Bangladesh<br />
until April. Refurbishments to Church House have been signed off<br />
thanks to the kind support and funding from Hamilton Davies Trust,<br />
Warrington Community Chest, East Warrington and our Parish Council.<br />
Church has also had a new roof over the exterior boiler house and<br />
former choir room costing £3,000. Unfortunately this work was required<br />
because of leaks created by vandals climbing on the roof and breaking<br />
the slates. Re-decorating and new carpet in the main hall is to follow.<br />
The next project for Church is the restoration of the Garden of Rest.<br />
Friends of St. Helen’s Church held a tribute to George Formby at<br />
their annual Christmas event joining other Formby society fans in<br />
a good old sing song and reminisce. In January they enjoyed their<br />
annual dinner held at the Red Lion and their 2017 social calendar<br />
continues with talks arranged for April and June - see pages 15 and 17.<br />
Well done to St. Helen’s Sunday School who raised over £200 for<br />
the Children’s Society via their annual Christingle Service and collection boxes<br />
in their homes. The 17 pupils enjoyed a fun Christmas party hosted<br />
by the 3 Sunday School teachers and look forward to more fun in 2017.<br />
Congratulations to the Glazebrook Choral Society on the success of<br />
their 104th performance of the ‘Messiah’ in December - amazing!<br />
2016 ended busily for Hollins Green Cubs with activities including:<br />
Cub camp in Dunham with lots of singing and hot dogs; forming a guard<br />
of honour at Remembrance Sunday; joining 300 Warrington Cubs for<br />
a 2hr run, game of bowls and renewal of their Promise on trampolines;<br />
and taking part in the Civic Sunday Service. Cubs have also completed<br />
lots of activity badges and are looking forward to more challenges<br />
in the Spring. Read more of their news on rixtonwithglazebrook.net<br />
