Originally the players were picked for the Greater Manchester Walking Football League over 60s representative side. However, with few walking football leagues around at the time, limited fixtures would represent a problem. The history of the GMWFL can be found HERE. It was decided that the players who had come forward would form a new walking football club to enter over 60s and over 65s tournaments that were increasing in number over the country. We would also enter the same age categories in the WFU National Tournament. First of course we needed to play in a few friendly matches as most of the players had never played together before. In March 2018 a friendly was organised against Leeds Titans away. We had a squad of 8 for this encounter against a team well known for their winning record. They were a strong outfit and were surprised when we beat them 9-5, which for a new team playing against experienced opposition was a great result. The outlook was indeed promising and the next encounter was two weeks later when we played three friendly matches against Blackburn Rovers WF at the Heywood Sports Village. One 60s team lost 1-0 and the the other 60s team won 1-0. Our 65s drew 1-1 with their 60s. The midweek following we played another evening friendly against Roach Dynamos at the Heywood Sports Village and won 4-0. Next up was a friendly against FC United WF at their venue in Moston. Played on a full size pitch, the 8-a-side game finished in a 2-1 win for the opposition. Wigan Over 60s Spring Tournament The Wigan Over 60’s Spring Tournament in mid April 2018 was the first venture for Manchester Corinthians in tournament walking football. Despite only having played together a few times in friendly matches, hopes were high that we could do well in this event. With a few important players missing, we still had a strong enough squad capable of achieving it’s first trophy win. With nine teams involved and some very strong opposition amongst them, it wouldn’t be an easy day with eight nine minute games with just one ten minute break. The first two games against Wigan Blues and Blackburn Rovers WF gave us 6 points. Two disappointing 0-0 draws against Crosby and Northgate Rovers was followed by a 1-1 draw with Wigan Yellows and by now we were showing evidence of tiredness. The next fixture added to our woes with some very biased refereeing decisions. We were up against Wigan Whites, who later won the tournament, the strongest of the three Wigan teams and one of their members was the referee. His decisions were inconsistent and strongly favoured the Wigan side. We went down 2-0 to further add to our doubts of progressing. Sheffield, the other eventual finalists were our next opponents, another strong physical side. We were certainly not outplayed in this one and looked the team more likely to score. Their keeper denied us a goal with many excellent saves and as often happens in football they grabbed a late goal to give them a 1-0 win. The final opponents were Preston, a team from the Greater Manchester Walking Football Over 60’s League. Preston at this stage were unbeaten but lost that record when we beat them 1-0. The question was had we made the semi finals? It had been a hard day, playing seventy two minutes of football with hardly a break. Unfortunately we had missed out by one point and those three draws came back to haunt us. To add to our misery two of the semi finalists were teams we had beaten in the round robin format. It was a disappointed squad who trooped back to the dressing rooms, feeling we had not got the rewards our football deserved. Fleetwood Over 60s Tournament The Fleetwood Over 60’s Tournament in late April 2018 was only the second venture into tournament walking football for the new Manchester Corinthians over 60’s team. After a disappointing outcome in the earlier April Wigan Tournament, hopes were high that this may provide our first tournament win. The venue was the excellent £8m Poolfoot Farm training complex in Thornton, the home of Fleetwood Town FC. It was to be a round robin league, with each team playing five fifteen minute games. With a strong squad available, our first fixture was against fellow Manchester team Vintage Celtic, one of the more fancied teams in this competition. Despite having the majority of possession and passing the ball around superbly, with many shots on target, we could only manage a 1-0 win. Second up were the better of the two Fleetwood teams, Fleetwood Town Flyers Reds. Once again we dominated and came out 2-0 winners. AFC Blackpool Very Senior Seasiders were our next opponents. We probably spent 90% of the game in the Blackpool half but could only muster a single goal to give us another three points. Our penultimate game was versus Fleetwood Town Flyers Whites and once again we dominated to gain a 3-0 win. The final game against AFC Blackpool Senior Seasiders resulted in a 2-0 victory. So it was a first tournament win for the Corinthians with a maximum fifteen points, a massive seven point difference over second placed Vintage Celtic. I suppose for only our second tournament, winning it has to be regarded as an excellent outcome but the level of opposition wasn’t up to the standard of the recent Wigan Over 60’s Tournament. However you can only beat what’s put in front of you and to win five games on the trot without conceding a goal makes the future look bright for the Corinthians. One or two murmurs were apparently heard that we had fielded the cream of the Greater Manchester Walking Football League’s players but isn’t selecting the best the case in most successful sides. What can you say about Bill Charlton and Steve Colesby? Despite their advancing years, when called upon both excelled and played their part in this Fleetwood Over 60’s Tournament and showed far younger players what walking football is all about. Stockport Social Tournament Manchester Corinthians were painted as the villains in this so called ‘Social Tournament’, when in fact we were the victims. After seeing us demolish the first three opponents with eight goals for and just the one against in the eight minute games, we had obviously outstayed our welcome. Comments were heard that we were thugs and animals, when in fact one of the other teams had intimidation on their menu. The other side outside this incestuous circle of Stockport area teams, my old team Vintage Celtic, were also victims. One of the comments heard was “we just need to get rid of these now”, after the Corinthians had offered to withdraw. Vintage Celtic players were threatened by some of the local ‘friendly’ participants, making this so called ‘Social Tournament’ anything but. The fiasco started with a last minute change of rules regarding areas where opponents couldn’t be dispossessed of the ball, a crazy concept from the start. It would be interesting to see how these so called walking football teams fared in a proper tournament with qualified referees but they haven’t the nerve or ability to compete in such. Playing 6-a-side on small caged pitches was a recipe for disaster and proved to be so. Although the female referee officiating in our games was generally excellent, the one on the other pitch was described as a joke, talking to a colleague and not watching the action during games. Any tournament without qualified referees is going to be a disaster, as it’s been proved on many occasions. There can be no such thing as friendly matches or tournaments. All players have an inbuilt competitiveness and want to win, no matter what the occasion. The massive difference in this tournament and the recent Fleetwood Tournament we competed in just shows how far some organisers and competitors need to upgrade their mindset. We will put this Stockport Tournament down to experience and certainly wouldn’t enter another tournament described as social or friendly. WFA Over 65s National Tournament Round 1 Originally this tournament was to be run by the WFU (Walking Football United), the organisation who we paid to enter.

Saving Manchester’s Industrial Past: Regeneration and New Uses of Industrial Archaeology Structures in Greater Manchester, 1980 to 2018 Dr Michael Nevell Accepted text, March 2019 Summary & Introduction 2020 marks the 40th anniversary of the establishment of professional archaeology within the Manchester city region, with the creation of the Greater Manchester Archaeological Unit (GMAU) in 1980. This was the culmination of a decade of raising awareness of the archaeology and heritage of the Manchester city region. It saw the establishment of dedicated conservation officers in each of the ten new metropolitan boroughs of Greater Manchester (established in the local government re-organisation of 1974), a growth in the number of conservation areas and a significant rise in the number of historic buildings protected through the listing process, on the back of changes to the listing process in 1970.

    3isfoq o ftot Dari~p o f gocpaafe. CHAPTER 1 . (15ma E f isforp, HE original parish of Rochdale was one of the most extensive in the Hundred of Salford . It was bounded on the north and north-west by the portions of the Parish of Whalley comprised in the Forest of Rossendale and the Township of Cliviger ; on its south-west was the Parish of Bury ; in a southern direction it extended to Middleton and Oldham, and its eastern boundary was the division line between the Counties of York and Lancaster. Saddleworth, for ecclesiastical purposes, was also considered as forming a part of Rochdale ; but, as it is entirely in the County of York, and its connection with the parish (except for church purposes) is very slight, its annals will not form a part of this history . From a very early period Rochdale has consisted of four divisions, viz. •- Hundersfield, Spotland, Castleton, and Butterworth . These have been again divided and sub-divided.

  • Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council
    ROCHDALE BOROUGH COUNCIL CABINET MEMBER REPORT TO THE COUNCIL REPORT OF THE CABINET MEMBER FOR CULTURE, HEALTH AND WELLBEING TO THE MEETING OF THE COUNCIL ON WEDNESDAY 19TH OCTOBER 2016 Thank you Mr. Mayor for the opportunity to report to the Council the latest developments on various matters relating to the Culture, Health and Wellbeing Portfolio. Public Health Specialist Team The position of the council in relation to overarching public health indicators such as life expectancy continues to improve as in all boroughs in England, however, the gap between Rochdale Borough and England as a whole is not decreasing. The Council has identified childhood obesity as a major outcome of interest which reflects the national emphasis on this area, and, as a priority strategic outcome, it offers the opportunity to impact on other outcomes such as oral health, breastfeeding and school readiness. Members and public health team officers were invited to present at a ‘Living Well’ Conference, which brought together a range of organisations across the borough to share good practice and celebrate the efforts of those groups and individuals who have made a significant contribution to improving the life chances of local people. The team has provided significant support to a number of programmes of work which directly relate to public health outcomes across the council and NHS partners. These include an oral health programme initiated through overview and scrutiny, the NHS England funded national diabetes prevention programme (which targets individuals at risk of developing diabetes) and the NHS England funded long-term conditions test bed programme (which seeks to use technology to identify and then manage those at risk and/or diagnosed with a long-term condition).

Update on current resources PC Booth informed residents that the level of resources is the same; they have gained one new member. There is one dedicated officer for Milnrow and Newhey and residents need to be assured that there will be a police presence at all times. Although their base is at the Rochdale Station they travel into the ward and they feel that they are better positioned there for travelling. The officers work on a four shift system. a) Priorities from PACT meetings Officer’s priorities are to drive down ASB. It is thought that there is likely to be an increase during the school holiday period. GMP are working closely with RMBC’s Youth Service and will target the hot spot areas.
