Legendary Agatha Christie whodunit to visit Hanley!!

THE play lauded as "the cleverest murder-mystery of British theatre" by The Telegraph is coming to Hanley's Regent Theatre in 2013!

Yes, Agatha Christie's legendary, record-breaking whodunit, 'The Mousetrap', is celebrating its 60th anniversary by going on tour for the very first time.

In her own, inimitable style, Dame Agatha Christie has created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense and a brilliantly intricate plot, in which murder lurks around every corner at Monkswell Manor.

The scene is set, when a group of people, gathered in a corner house cut off by snow, discover - to their horror - that there is a murderer in their midst!

Who can it be? One by one, the suspicious characters reveal their sordid pasts until, at the last, nerve-shredding moment, the killer's identity and motive are finally revealed.

The star cast comprises Steven France ('Eastenders', 'The Bill') as Christopher Wren,

Thomas Howes ('Downton Abbey', 'The History Boys' Tour) as Detective Sergeant Trotter, Karl Howman ('Brush Strokes') as Mr. Paravicini, Bruno Langley ('Coronation

Street', 'Doctor Who') as Giles Ralston, Graham Seed (best-known as the doomed Nigel Pargetter in 'The Archers' on BBC Radio 4 and 'Yes, Prime Minister' UK Tour) as Major Metcalf and Jemma ('Family Affairs', 'Eastenders') as Mollie Ralston.

Jan Waters, currently playing Mrs. Boyle in the West End, will join the tour in the same role, and Clare Wilkie ('Eastenders') will play Miss Casewell.

The original West End cast included Richard Attenborough as Det. Sgt. Trotter and his wife, Sheila Sim, as

Mollie Ralston.

Famous around the world as being the longest-running show of any kind in the history of British theatre (with about 25,000 performances to-date), 'The Mousetrap' began its run in London's West End at The New Ambassadors Theatre on November 25th, 1952, continuing there until Saturday, March 23rd, 1974, when it immediately

transferred to St. Martin's Theatre next door, where it re-opened on Monday, March 25th, thus maintaining its 'initial run' status.

This "classic among murder-thrillers" runs at The Regent from Monday, February 18th, to Saturday, February 23rd, 2013, at 7.30pm, with 2.30pm matinee performances on Wednesday and Saturday.

A superb background of experience

IT may be just 22 months since Clive Harris added a second 'component' to his Staffordshire-based company, but he certainly possesses the necessary pedigree to ensure total customer-satisfaction!

For, appositely-named Expert Car Inspections benefits from Clive's 40 years' experience within the motor trade - starting with an indentured apprenticeship and gaining his City & Guilds qualifications, to a 28-years-long service with VOSA (Vehicle and Operator Services Agency), the Government regulatory body, working on many aspects of vehicle-maintenance and compliance.

All this has given Clive an invaluable amount of expertise in facets of the motor trade - experience which, sadly, many people carrying out these types of inspections lack.

In addition, staff working for him boast similar (or very experienced) backgrounds, and their quality-of-work is regularly checked to ensure that each customer enjoys a consistent experience.

As a result, motorists are reassuringly secure in the knowledge that any vehicle inspected by ECI will be subjected to a rigorous inspection, assuring customers that a comprehensive report will be compiled to allow them to enter into a purchase or sale fully informed.

Complete car inspections are available - all carried out by fully-trained and highly-experienced staff - from as little as £80.

However, ECI's remit also takes in vans (up to 3,500kg), motor homes and HG (Heavy Goods) and PC (Passenger Carrying) vehicles.

Complementing all the experience possessed by ECI is the business's simple pricing-

structure, which means that you can be confident that an expert is

carrying out the inspection at realistic, eminently-affordable rates!

While car inspections start from £80 (£130 for 4x4s, classic cars and

limousines), the price for vans is £80 (up to 2,999kg)

and £100 (3,000-3,500kg), with the rate motorhomes £170 (up to 3,500kg) and £210 (all other motorhomes).

Full engineer's reports on cars and vans are available for just £150, and those for motorhomes, HGVs and PCVs cost only £170.

Expert Car Inspections is an arm of the parent company, CCH Vehicle & Training Services, a consultancy which Clive launched during April,

2008, and provides an invaluable service not to the MoT garage-network and operators of heavy

goods and passenger-carrying vehicles (the latter including Arriva Midlands).

Indeed CCH Vehicle & Training Services is currently carrying out contracted work for

a large number of high-profile transport clients, based in the Midlands.

At the same time, it is also contracted to a very large number of garages operating the annual MoT Scheme, ensuring that they operate within the parameters laid down in the MoT Testing Regulations and the operating guidelines dicated by VOSA.

"As an arm of the Department of Transport, VOSA provides a range of licensing, testing and enforcement services, with the aim of

improving the roadworthiness of vehicles, ensuring the compliance

of operators and drivers and supporting the independent Traffic Commisioners," explained Clive Harris.

"I started out as an inspector of HGVs and, then, PSVs, before, finally becoming station manager

at Swynnerton Testing Centre, here in Staffordshire.

"After a period of time, I saw an opportunityto set up my own business, offering a facility which provides customers with the benefits of my years of experience, working with VOSA."

OCTOBER 2012 | 03sales: 01782 204392

Are you a Wise Owl or a Head-Burying Ostrich when it comes to that d-word?THIS month, we discuss the many complexities which can arise from NOT making a Will.WHAT MOST PEOPLE THINK OR HOPE!

IF you die without a Will, all your money and possessions (your Estate) will be distributed, according to strict legal rules and regulations. These rules are called the Laws of Intestacy. In many cases, the Intestacy Laws distribute an Estate in a way the deceased would not have wanted, sometimes with disastrous results.

YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES will fall into one of the following categories: Married,

Cohabiting or Single.

MARRIED: In the event of the death of a married person, the Intestacy rules divide the Estate into shares, with a share going to the surviving husband or wife (the spouse). The amount a spouse can inherit is restricted to an amount set by the Government.

THE POPULAR BELIEF that a spouse automatically inherits everything is simply not true. This is because your nearest blood-relations (children, parents, brothers, sisters etc.) are also entitled to take a share under the Intestacy Rules inherit, with the rising values of Estates, the SPOUSE'S SHARE could be the smallest one.

FACT: If you have not made a Will, even your life insurance policies will not be paid until probate has been granted, unless they are written into trust! (Probate will take many months, sometimes years, to be granted!).

FACT: If your Children are orphaned and you have not appointed a guardian in a Will, then Social Services will decide who looks after them, including allocating them to Foster Parents).

FACT: If there are no surviving members of your family, the whole Estate would go to the Crown (Government).

COHABITING: Thousands of people live together without getting married. Unfortunately, most think that, after a few years together or if they have become a Common Law husband or wife and have same rights as a married person. Let there be no doubt about this. If you live with another person unmarried (including single-sex couples), with respect to finance and inheritance you are known as a Cohabitee and do not have the same rights as a married person. The general term, Common Law, means law-based judicial decisions and custom.

SO, if you are Cohabitee, the information on single people is more appropriate to you.

SINGLE: If a single person dies without a Will, the line

of Inheritance can be complicated and can often involve relatives you have never even met!

HERE WE GO... first, you children will inherit your whole Estate - if there are no surviving children, next in line are your grandchildren - if you have no grandchildren, then both your parents - if both have died before you, then your brothers and/or nieces - if none, then your cousins (however far removed) and, if no cousins, everything goes to the Government... phew!

IF you are single and without a Will, I can hear you are thinking: 'Well, that's OK, it will go to my children, anyway'). That may be partly true, but what is also true is that it will take months and, possibly, years to sort out your affairs (obtain Probate), and the Solicitors who sort this out will charge THOUSANDS OF POUNDS for their work. This is money that, for the sake of making your Will (£45), you could have left your Children!

Even if you have no Children or close family, many people would want their Estate to go to CLOSE FRIENDS or a CHARITY, rather than the GOVERNMENT OR UNKNOWN RELATIONS.

Superb harmonies & zany comedy-routines!!CHART-TOPPING 1960s' band, The Ivy League, is making a welcome return to Stoke-on-Trent this year.

Since first tasting pop-chart success during the middle of the 'Swinging Sixties', it has gone from strength to strength, and readers can see why by booking tickets to see (and hear) the trio of musicians at Baddeley GreenWMC on Friday, December 16th!

The line-up features Jon Brennan (bass guitar & vocals), Dave Buckley (drums & vocals) and Mike Brice (guitar & vocals).

Perry Ford was the only original member to keep the band together through the late-'60s, which is when Dave joined to add his unique falsetto voice and keep the sound alive and original.

Dave and Jon ensured that The Ivy League continued through the '70s and beyond (with Perry's blessing) at a time when most bands of the '60s had faded away, and they have created one of the best cabaret acts in the country.

They starred at all the top venues of the time (The Night Out, Birmingham; Talk of the Town, London; Batley and Wakefield Variety Clubs; and The Bailey Circuit), winning numerous awards, such as Club Mirror 'Comedy Vocal Group' of the year.

What they do is not a 'tribute' but a

genuine continuation over the last forty years without break!

Having worked with The Ivy League on several occasions during the '60s and '70s, Mike Brice joined on a permanent basis in 1990.

The showband's unique falsetto vocal sound, blended with superb harmonies, reproduces those hit-songs (including 'Tossing and Turning', 'Funny How Love Can Be' and 'Why I'm Crying'), with its repertoire also featuring some old and new favourites, all of which are brought together with some hysterical, zany comedy-routines.

Tickets for the concert on Friday, December 16th, are priced at £7, and are sale behind the bar at least two months in advance (Baddeley Green WMC is not open in the daytime on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays).

Tribute band's "awesome performers" will get you partying!!THE audience at Baddeley Green WMC on Friday, November 2nd, can swoon to the sounds of a fantastic Bee Gees tribute band!

Formed just over six years ago, The Bee Gees Experience has successfully performed in Holland, Hong Kong and throughout the whole of the UK - and will turn this evening into a party!

This four-piece group recreates the work of the world-famous Brothers Gibb, performing classic, four-part harmonies and featuring the unforgettable voice of Nick Lester on lead-vocals as Barry Gibb.

Lauded as "awesome performers and consummate professionals", they perform all the great hits, such as 'How Deep Is Your Love', 'Massachusetts', 'Words', 'Woman

In Love', 'Islands In The Stream', 'Chain Reaction', 'More Than A Woman', 'Tragedy', 'Night Fever' and 'Jive Talkin'.

Moreover, The Bee Gees Experience (who

have worked with stars, like Heat Wave and The Rubettes) pays homage to other, great '70s' stars, like Donna Summer, Kool and The Gang, Rose Royce and even The Scissor Sisters.

Tickets for the performance are priced at £6, and, as will all Friday night shows, are on sale behind the bar at least two months in advance (note that Baddeley Green WMC is not open on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays).

Readers can telephone the Leek New Road venue on (01782) 541246 for further information.

The Poppy Appeal's origins

REMEMBRANCE Sunday, November 11th, 2012, marks the 94th anniversary of the Armistice which ended World War I (1914-18).

Three years later, the very first Poppy Day was held in Britain in 1921, and, since then, it has proved an essential feature of the British way of life.

Poppy Appeal staff and volunteers arrange the annual collection each October/November.

It emanated from the formation of the British Legion (now the Royal British Legion), leading to practical and help and companionship to the ex-servicemen and women and their dependants.

The Flanders and Picardy areas of Northern France saw some of the most concentrated and bloodiest fighting of 'The Great War' - there was complete devastation: buildings, roads, trees and natural life simply disappeared.

Only one other living thing survived - the Poppy!

Flowering each year with the coming of warm weather, the Poppy brought life, hope, colour and reassurance to those still fighting.

The first donations for artificial poppies were given in Britain on November 11th, 1921, raising £106,000 (an equivalent spending-power of more than £3.1 million in today's terms), a huge sum for the time!

Cheshire Bridal Fayre

Thanks to its mix of the historic & the modern, Crewe Hall provides THE perfect venue for this 'Dream' of a show!!

IF you are a soon-to-be bride or groom looking for inspiration for your 'Big Day', make sure you get yourself along to this ever-popular event on Sunday, October 21st!

The Signal 1 and Signal 2 Cheshire Bridal Fayre - held at palatial Crewe Hall, between 10.30am and 4.30pm - is the ideal place to pick up a tip or two on how to make sure that you tie the knot in memorable style.

It is a unique and glamorous wedding shopping experience, with hundreds of ideas to plan your 'Big

Day' in one place.

So, whatever area you require some expertise in - whether it be scrumptious cakes, the cream of photography, show-stopping flowers, stunning stationery or entertainment, this event provides the perfect opportunity to 'get things sorted' and de-stress, in readiness for the 'happiest day of your life'!

Take your seat in the Continental Suite before the two 'catwalk' shows at 12.30pm and 3pm, and be entertained as the 'chèf' and charismatic 'head waiter' compete for the spotlight.

There will, then, be a short, skilful demonstration of hairdressing wedding wizardry by Theo Georgiou of Theo Georgiou International, followed by a number of 'catwalk'

scenes, which will highlight a range of styles, prices and trends, including stunning wedding gowns from Cherish Bridal, Golden Couture Bridal and Tiffany's Wardrobe, as well as outfits for the mother of the bride and other female guests.

After the anticipation, the asking and the answering, the time has come to turn 'yes' into 'I do' - and there's no

better place than the Signal 1 and Signal 2 Cheshire Bridal Fayre to provide everything that a bride and

groom could want, in order to create their perfect wedding.

With over forty exhibitors on-hand, it's a 'must-visit' day-out for the entire wedding party - all found under one roof at Crewe Hall, Weston Road, Crewe.

The cost of admission is just £3 (with no concessions).

The name says it all!!"IF you are after an excellent service as well as quality flowers, then Bloomin' Wonderful is the place to be."

Simply one of many examples of the fulsome, positive 'feedback' enjoyed by this local business which clearly lives up to its delightful name!

Stoke-on-Trent-based (but covering the entire county), Bloomin' Wonderful is a florists and venue-dressing service, offering excellent customer-service and value-for-money.

Beautiful floristry is featured from the church to the reception venue, and its all-inclusive service takes it from the early-morning, exciting flower-delivery (the bride's, plus any buttonholes or bouquets needed by the groom) onto the church

for delivery of flowers or placing of bows.

Whilst this is all happening, the business's team is already at your reception venue with your chair-covers, centre-pieces, table-mirrors, diamantes, candles etc. - and the choice is yours!

Bloomin' Wonderful can decorate your venue from top to toe, offering chair-covers, beautiful organza sashes, diamante buckles, a wide range of glassware, sashes and table-runners.

The glassware range used in its floral designs as such striking wedding centre-pieces (including Martini glasses, bubble bowls [small and large], hurricane lamps and lily vases) and candelabras can be hired as part of your wedding package, and BW will deliver, set up and take down for you, thanks to its total, no-hassle service.

Or, if you're doing it yourself, you can simply hire what you need from Rebecca at a time convenient to you!

Clients are assured of a professional, confidential and flexible service at all times.

"THANKS for everything you did to dress our room on our wedding day - it was beautiful."

Just one of a myriad of glowing testimonials from delighted clients of this North Staffordshire-based business which aims to ensure that you never forget just how amazing your venue looked on that all-important day!

Appositely-named Dreams Venue Dressing believes that every person's 'dream day' is different, and is always happy to try new ideas, at the same time offering ultra-competitive prices.

It provides all that is needed to transform your venue into the stunning, stylish and sophisticated room that you've always dreamed of, with chair-covers, bows, table-runners, table-cloths, napkins,

The business boasts a large selection of coloured bows in organza, satin or taffeta, and, if you can't find what you're looking for, it is happy to tailor-make the bow to your own requirements (subject, naturally, to availability and price).

"Our centre-pieces are, again, tailor-made to suit everyone's taste and style, whether it be modern or traditional, simple or elaborate," says proprietor, Zelda.

"We are happy to work with real or artificial flowers,

water-pearls, coloured sand or whatever your choice, as I'm sure that we can provide exactly what you want."

Adds Zelda: "We also hire out vases, goldfish-bowls and birdcages of all shapes and sizes, with prices from as little as £5 each (a personal favourite of mine are silver candelabras, which are available from £15 upwards)."

Fun for ALL the family!ON Saturday, November 3rd, the sky will be illuminated by an even bigger and better display of aerial fireworks and pyrotechnics for Betley Bonfire!

As ever, the venue is Betley Court Farm (by kind permission of Mr. and Mrs. F. Speed).

Betley Bonfire (which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2009) is one of the largest events in the whole of the UK.

The gates open at 4pm, and the bonfire will be lit at 6pm.

The fireworks extravaganza will start later in the evening, once the bonfire is 'going strong' and the expectant crowds

have arrived.

Once again, Stanworth's Funfair is in attendance, with rides suitable for children and adults of all ages, with 'giant'-rides for the brave amongst you and gentler ones for the rest of us!

Other attractions include the Signal Roadshow, fire-eaters and jugglers.

There will be a pleasing variety of hot food- and drinks-vendors, providing fare and refreshments to suit everyone's taste.

Tickets for the event (sponsored by Madeley Heath Motors, in

association with Signal 1) are just £7 (adults) and £3 (children and OAPs).
