Mid Cheshire Line Music Trains

Wednesday 11 September
Chester to Plumley and at the Golden Pheasant

Pastry Shoes with ‘sweet and compelling female vocals and harmonies, a single guitarist who skilfully creates the sounds of a full band, and the smooth, melodic tones of the tenor sax. Pastry Shoes will soothe you with easy-listening and familiar jazz and swing numbers – or have you singing to popular hits from the 1950s to the present day.

It was a privilege to meet with Val Godfrey and Jennifer Saunderson who are part of the wonderful team who look after #CuddingtonStation on the #midcheshirerailwayline Val who has been Mayor, a Councillor, a Magistrate as well as working in Community Development set up the group 21 years ago. Jennifer worked in education and both of them volunteer alongside 14 other members all working on a rota system looking after the station.It is definitely not glamorous work planting, litter picking and general keeping the station looking tidy and clean (which it does). Many of the plants from the recent RHS – Royal Horticultural Society show at Tatton Park have been planted here. They are also working with both Cuddington and Sandiway Primary Schools and the local youth club to replace the current mosaic (pictured) which has seen better days. Both were full of history explaining how Oakmere Hall was built by John Douglas for the rich Manchester merchants before becoming a rehabilitation centre for Miners.Their enthusiasm for what they do shone through and if you wish to get involved, just send an email to contact@midcheshirerail.org.uk Northern Bee Network #community #localpride #CommunityPride #volunteersmakeadifference … See MoreSee Less
