CBBC favourite and Double BAFTA
winner Mark Rhodes leads the cast
at Stafford’s Gatehouse Theatre this
Christmas as French Frank in the
fun-filled fairytale, BEAUTY AND THE
BEAST, from 8–31 December. We
caught up with Mark to find out more:
Hi Mark! You’re a bit of a panto legend
now, how many have you been in?
This will be my eighth one, but it's like
the first day of school! Just doing the
photo call and seeing all the fantastic
costumes, people have all been so
friendly and all the cast are wonderful.
Plus, you get to work with Theo the
Mouse as well, who was the star of the
show the other year!
Oh, that's true! I've heard a lot about
Theo the Mouse. But I'm not here to
take any of Theo’s thunder away –
Theo can be top billing!
Have you been to the Gatehouse
before?
No, but this is a bit of a homecoming
for me as I'm from Wolverhampton,
so very close to Stafford! So it's going
to be great to actually be home for
Christmas. All my mates are going to
be coming this year, which is so cool.
Have you performed in Beauty and the
Beast before?
This is the first time! My mates said to
me, ‘Surely, you're playing the Beast.’
And I was thinking, ‘You cheeky…!’ I've
watched the film, but the panto is a bit
different, so I’m going to be playing
French Frank. I'm really hoping that
the people of Stafford are not wanting
me to do a French accent, because
I can hardly speak English. So, I’ll be
French Frank with a Midlands accent!
s is a great way to feed the family as the chicken

What are you most looking forward to
about Beauty and the Beast this year?
The interaction with the audience –
that is why I love panto so much! It's
not like regular theatre where, let’s
be honest, you don't interact with the
audience. For panto, it's lovely to just
chat with them, or throw water over
them and stuff!
So, you’ve heard about the infamous
slosh scenes then?
Oh, yeah. I’m in serious trouble! I’ve realised
that in act two I'm going to have
some right soggy pants. Can’t wait!

Gadgets and Gizmos - 14th November
A Talk by Kath Reynolds
This is a new offering from the always entertaining
Kath Reynolds which has only been available
since May this year. The talks Kath presents are
a reflection of her interest in people and in social
history within living memory. She is a collector and
sharer of stories.
Like most of her talks,
this one is interactive,
She adds a personal
touch to each one from the
stories I collect along the way.
Gadgets and Gizmos - all those fantastic, must have
products, tantalisingly advertised on TV, that we
convinced ourselves we couldn’t live without - but
in actual fact - became redundant often after the
first use!

KATHARINE HOUSE HOSPICE
CEO TAKES ON 5K RUN
The Chief Executive of a Stafford charity took on a 5k run
with family to help raise funds for their cause.
Professor Richard Soulsby has worked at Katharine House
Hospice for more than 20 years and saw the Tatton Park 5k as
an opportunity to help the charity.
He said: “Katharine House is, for obvious reasons, my number
one charity. I know from all the feedback we receive from
patients and families that every day our care teams make a
real difference to them at a really important time in their lives.
“I am always meeting amazing people who raise funds for
us and thought I should show at least some of the personal
commitment that they have shown to support our work.”
Richard completed the 5k on Saturday, 30 September, with
wife Alison, son Jack and his niece-in-law Georgi. Georgi’s
mother, Susan Osbourne, also helped by driving and
supplying the group with food and drink.
Richard had been training for the event for the last four
months: “It was my first time doing a 5k and it was definitely
more of a walk than a run but it was a really enjoyable event,
less so the actual 5k. It was slightly disheartening to be
overtaken in the last kilometer by a gentleman who had run
the 10k and must have been at least 75!
“Tatton Park is a lovely place and I would like to do another 5k
to see if I could improve my time.”
So far the group have
raised more than £1,200
with more coming in.
Richard said: “We’re so
pleased to have exceeded
our fundraising target. It’s just an
opportunity to raise something for the
hospice, so anything is welcomed.
“All funds raised, no matter how much is involved, are really
important to enable us to keep delivering all of our services
for free. What I know is that the money will be put to good use
for the benefit of the people of mid-Staffordshire.”
Katharine House Hospice aims to enable patients with life
limiting conditions to live life as fully as possible and make
the most of the time they have, as well as supporting their
loved ones.
It costs £3.7m a year to provide vital free palliative care
services and they rely heavily on the support from our
community.

CBBC favourite and Double BAFTA
winner Mark Rhodes leads the cast
at Stafford’s Gatehouse Theatre this
Christmas as French Frank in the
fun-filled fairytale, BEAUTY AND THE
BEAST, from 8–31 December. We
caught up with Mark to find out more:
Hi Mark! You’re a bit of a panto legend
now, how many have you been in?
This will be my eighth one, but it's like
the first day of school! Just doing the
photo call and seeing all the fantastic
costumes, people have all been so
friendly and all the cast are wonderful.
Plus, you get to work with Theo the
Mouse as well, who was the star of the
show the other year!
Oh, that's true! I've heard a lot about
Theo the Mouse. But I'm not here to
take any of Theo’s thunder away –
Theo can be top billing!
Have you been to the Gatehouse
before?
No, but this is a bit of a homecoming
for me as I'm from Wolverhampton,
so very close to Stafford! So it's going
to be great to actually be home for
Christmas. All my mates are going to
be coming this year, which is so cool.
Have you performed in Beauty and the
Beast before?
This is the first time! My mates said to
me, ‘Surely, you're playing the Beast.’
And I was thinking, ‘You cheeky…!’ I've
watched the film, but the panto is a bit
different, so I’m going to be playing
French Frank. I'm really hoping that
the people of Stafford are not wanting
me to do a French accent, because
I can hardly speak English. So, I’ll be
French Frank with a Midlands accent!
What are you most looking forward to
about Beauty and the Beast this year?
The interaction with the audience –
that is why I love panto so much! It's
not like regular theatre where, let’s
be honest, you don't interact with the
audience. For panto, it's lovely to just
chat with them, or throw water over
them and stuff!
So, you’ve heard about the infamous
slosh scenes then?
Oh, yeah. I’m in serious trouble! I’ve realised
that in act two I'm going to have
some right soggy pants. Can’t wait!

been snapped up for BEAUTY AND

All In One Chicken
Introduction
This is a great way to feed the family as the chicken
and veg are all cooked in one very large tray in the oven. It
takes only minutes to put everything together then it sits in the
oven for under an hour with no fussy finishing off to do and only
one pan to wash up.
The recipe allows one chicken thigh and one drumstick per
person, but use less if you are not such big eaters.
Method
1. Preheat the oven to
220°C/200°C fan/Gas mark 7.
2. Place the potatoes in a large
roasting tin with 2 tablespoons
of the oil. Toss well to coat
them. Add the onion, garlic,
bacon and chicken pieces and
toss together.
3. Add the lemons to the
roasting tin. Season everything
Top Tip
well and sprinkle with the
paprika. Roast for 40 minutes.
4. In a bowl toss the courgettes
in the remaining tablespoon of oil
and season with salt and pepper,
then poke them in among the
chicken and scatter the olives
over the top. Return to the oven
for a further 20 minutes, until
the chicken and vegetables are
golden brown and tender.
• Stuffed olives are great, but use plain green or black ones if
you prefer.
• The preserved lemons really give a lovely citrus tang to
the dish – they sit in salt water and are beautifully soft and
citrusy and are well worth using – but if you can’t find them
use one sliced lemon instead.
• Don’t overcrowd the roasting tin, you need everything to be in
a single layer or it will not cook evenly – divide between two
tins if necessary.
Ingredients
Serves 6
• 1kg main crop potatoes,
peeled and cut into 5cm
(2in) chunks
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large onion, cut into
wedges
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 6 rashers of smoked
streaky bacon, snipped
into 1cm (½ in) pieces
• 6 chicken thighs
• 6 chicken drumsticks
• 5 preserved lemons, cut
into quarters
• 1 ½ tsp paprika
• 3 courgettes, thickly sliced
• 1 x 200g can of anchovystuffed
green olives,
drained
• salt and freshly ground
black pepper

COUNCILLORS GIVE GO AHEAD TO BUY
FORMER CO-OP IN STAFFORD
Senior councillors have given the green light for
the borough council to buy the former Co-op
department store in Stafford.
The large building on Gaolgate Street has been
derelict for a decade and proposals could see it
converted into a mix of retail, residential, market
provision, and a food court as part of a major
transformation of the area.
The council successfully secured more than £14
million from the government’s Future High Street
Fund (FHSF) and last night (Thursday) Stafford
Borough Council’s cabinet agreed to the purchase of
the empty store.
The FHSF has already supported the restoration of
the town’s Market Square which will be completed
this month (October) and work to improve the
approach and entrance to Stafford Railway Station -
expected to get underway soon.
The council announced recently that the latest phase
of their ambitious programme would be buying the
former Co-op building as the catalyst to regenerate
the town.
Councillor Rob Kenney, Deputy Leader, with a
mandate to drive town centre regeneration, told
the meeting last night: “The number one issue for
residents in Stafford is the town centre and that is
why we have put it at the top of our priority list.”
He said their aim was to deliver a town centre fit
for the County Town, that residents will be proud
of, businesses will want to invest in, and visitors will
come to shop, eat and drink, and socialise.
And he added: “We said we would listen to local
people and get things done and this is only the start.”
The meeting heard the Co-op project was only “one
part of the jigsaw, that the building would be a “mixed
use 21st century development” and alongside all the
other initiatives would put “Stafford on the map.”
Negotiations to buy some property in the town
centre were made difficult because the Government
announced how much money the local authority
received from the FHSF, a report to the committee
stated - and some ‘absentee’ owners of premises in
the town had been in contact with the council asking
‘unreasonable’ prices for their buildings following
that announcement.
Council leader, Aidan Godfrey, said: “Stafford town
centre is changing and it is very exciting. I am really
looking forward to sharing more information with
the people of Stafford when we have more details.”
There is already significant investment being made
in the county town with other projects underway or
recently delivered such as the Staffordshire History
Centre and the business hub at Shire Hall, which is
reaching full capacity, and plans taking shape around
the Stafford Station Gateway and Eastgate areas.
The report to cabinet is available from https://www.
staffordbc.gov.uk/cabinet
Confidential discussions are still taking place around
other changes to the town centre which will form
part of the Future High Street Fund project.

Garden Society
Monday 6th November 2023
7:30pm at St John’s Church Hall, Bedford Avenue, Littleworth, Stafford ST16 3RP
We meet the first Monday of the month throughout winter. Talks commence at 7:30pm finishing approx
9pm with an entrance fee of £5 for non members, £4 for members
Our next talk on Monday 6th November is by Phillippa Cooper – “Sweet Peas”
This is a plant that is a firm garden favourite but can be a little temperamental dependent on the weather and site. This
year doesn’t seem to have been a good year for Sweet Peas but it is hoped that Phillippa will put us on the right track
for a good display next year. Phillippa is a Local Specialist and hopefully will be bringing along with her some samples of
old-fashioned Sweet Pea seed.
Please come along and enjoy a very pleasant evening among friends.
There is no need to book but if you need any more information please contact
Lin on 01785 240310.
