WALRUS 58

Sergeant Andy Bragg from Wallasey Police station and Rusty Keane who chairs the North Wirral Crime Prevention panel attended at St Mary’s School and St Peter and Pauls assemblies to recognise the actions of some of their students during an incident earlier this year.

On Tuesday 29th March, at 6pm a woman was walking her dogs in Vale Park. It was dark raining and the woman had her hood up and umbrella. As she left the park onto Vaughan Road she was suddenly pushed from behind twice and fell to the floor. A man then demanded she give him her bag. He then snatched the bag from her and ran away leaving her on the floor.

It was at this point that Connor Peckham Morris, Quinton Doyle, Kieran Carter, Tierney Witty and Jack Witty who playing in the park chased the man, phoned the police and then waited with the woman and took care of her till the police arrived. Due to the excellent description given by the boys a man was arrested a short distance from the park.

The woman was understandably very shaken by her ordeal and has said since what these boys did to help her has helped her come to terms with what happened. The prompt actions of these boys and willingness to help showed excellent community spirit and they are all a credit their families, their school and the whole community.
They all received and framed certificate and £25.00 gift voucher from the privately funded crime prevention panel.

The multi million pound fully digital 8 screen Light Cinema is close to its opening date of 2nd December. The facility will be launched officially on the 7th December with a glittering RNLI fundraiser. We look forward to welcoming the readers of the Walrus to enjoy its state of the art facilities.

Our programming will offer a mixture of Hollywood blockbusters, independent film, classic cinema, kids clubs, sporting events, live events and accommodate the bespoke interests of the local audience. We look forward to being an influential and collaborative partner to societies, businesses, schools and groups.

The cinema will play a key role in the regeneration of New Brighton and help Marine Point become a first class hub for leisure. We are creating dozens of local jobs, and we have been delighted with the amount of interest we have had from the local community, as well as the support the people of the Wirral have shown us.

We are committed to delivering an exceptional cinema experience and look forward to seeing the friends we have made locally and making new ones along the way.

With warmest regards Phil Dove

Founded as “The Magazine Sailing Club” in 1903 we moved to our premises in Hope Street in 1912 Some nine years later we became known as Wallasey Yacht Club. The building is now very different from the one we moved into so many years ago. Our members have transformed the premises over the years building and refurbishing workshops, storage yard and a clubhouse of which we are rightly proud,

To us, more importantly are the boats we sail. Our boats, known as “Seabird Half Raters” are most often seen moored in the River Mersey near to where the Pier once stood. Our members race these classic boats throughout the summer months before taking them ashore in September.

The objectives of the club are to provide and maintain the clubhouse, promote sailing and to encourage the development of boat building. The last of which possibly should read boat repairing as we have an active section who sail regularly on the Marine Lake at New Brighton in a variety of dinghies. The Monday Nighters as they are known often seem to seek help to repair damage done by their over zealous sailing

This year we have been spreading our wings further. Committing ourselves to creating links with New Brighton and running local events such as a photographic competition. Our next sailing event will be in conjunction with West Cheshire Sailing Club on Boxing Day when they will host “The Christmas Pudding Race” on the New Brighton Marine Lake
