On Sunday 13th July 2014 The Future Directions Dynamos, a Team made up of people we support (Matthew, William and Graham) staff and managers (Peter, Pete, Didmus, Karen, Lee, Rachel, Nancy, Sammy and Andy), began our cycling challenge to ride from Old Trafford, Manchester to the Promenade in Blackpool. The twelve strong Team set off at 9.25am crossing the finish line at 6pm. It was a challenge for all team members, building individual strength and determination to ensu re that everyone was able to realise their goal and potential. There was lots of encouragement from individual team members to ensure that everyone was able to reach the finish line. This was verbal and physical encouragement, advice, sharing food and refreshments to ensure each Team Member had the energy to finish the ride. Team Members also provided support and encouragement to other riders on the day. As a Team we have asked for sponsorship for The Christie so that they can continue to support people to survive and / or live as fulfilled lives as possible with cancer. It is not too late to sponsor the great achievement of the Dynamo’s. Visit: www.justgiving.com/teams/futuredirectionsdynamos Peter was able to ride steady and provide quiet encouragement to team members throughout the ride. Pete was Matthews cycling partner, with support from Peter, Sammy and in the latter stages of the ride Rachel. Nancy was chosen by William to partner him through the final stage of the ride. William was the designated speed setter, providing motivation and speed throughout. Matthew was the gent providing support, encouragement to others and thanks to all marshals along the route. Rachel was our steady rider, organised and provided everyone with energy replenishment throughout. Didmus partnered with both William and Graham during the ride. Andy was the powerhouse providing a push for team members when their legs began to slow ensuring that all were able to finish. Karen and Lee partnered riding at a steady pace which ensured that they were able to finish the ride. Graham was organised and ready for any eventuality. He was the slow steady rider who kept a steady pace throughout. As Team Leader and organiser Sammy-Jo, organised the practice rides, ensured that everyone was prepared, supporting team members through the ride and ensuring everyone was alright. Her goal was to ensure that everyone was able to cross the finish line.

With the support of their P.As they asked local businesses to donate to their fundraiser and they had a really good response from quite a few. Donations came from their hairdresser, nail salon, local supermarket, garden centre, E.D.I, Future Directions and further afield from a restaurant they go to regularly and a wholesale warehouse where they bought a few cakes for the event. On the day the attendance was absolutely wonderful, non-stop for over three hours. There was a Tombola and every ticket won a prize, a Grand Raffle with some wonderful prizes (sorry if you didn't win), a ‘Guess How Many Bon-Bons’ were in a jar and endless cups of tea, coffee, juices and a lovely scrumptious choice of cakes, served with either cream, jam or ice-cream. There was also a nice supply of sweets and balloons for the children. The ladies were overwhelmed with all their guests, friends, ex P.A.s and neighbours. It was a lovely day for everyone and it's still being talked about in the weeks since. The nicest part of the whole event was the amount raised for a good cause, £308.81p which has now been received by the charity. An acknowledgment arrived and a lovely certificate for their achievement, which has been framed and taken a pride-of-place. The ladies want to convey a HUGE THANKYOU to everyone who came/supported them.

  • Felly's Football Tour Introduction 3
    Felly’s Football Tour Sprint/Summer 2021 (tbc) Fundraising for Fellysfund in memory of our good friend The Motivation To Turf Moor To the University of Bolton Stadium Supporting Felly’s Fund To Deepdale To Goodison Park To Boundary Park Felly's Football Tour Introduction 3 Redwood Events have been arranging charity walks and cycle events since 2007 and have recently started to work with the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation. This has given us a great exposure to, and understanding of, the challenges that the Motor Neurone Disease can bring. Life changes very quickly for those diagnosed with MND and for their families. The average life expectancy for someone with Motor Neurone Disease is just 2-5 years from the onset of symptoms. A third of people diagnosed will die within a year and half within 2 years. It’s a 1/300 lifetime risk in the UK of being diagnosed with MND. That’s 3 children in each and every school today. There is no known cause of MND and there is no cure or effective treatment, it’s always fatal. When Paul Stanway talked to us about the great work they have done in memory of their great friend Felly, we were very keen to help. Felly’s Football Tour will combine a 131 mile continuous walking tour from Liverpool FC (Felly’s favourite team) to Fleetwood Town FC calling at fifteen other football grounds in between. This is a journey of 130 miles. After a short break for breakfast, the walking will give to cycling as riders will then head north from Fleetwood Town to Barrow AFC via Morecambe FC, a journey of 73 miles.

  • The Tudor Water Mill. ​By Peter James Corbally in 1543 Sir Robert
    The Tudor Water Mill. by Peter James Corbally ​ In 1543 Sir Robert Langley of Agecroft Hall, Lord of the Manor of Prestwich, built a weir across the River Irwell to provide water for a water mill. The weir was to raise the level of the river and pen back water that could be used to work the wheel at the mill. The weir was 20 yards long and 28 inches high above the river level raising the river level by an extra 24 inches. Presumably there was a mill race which led a forceful stream of water to the wheel. The mill and weir cost 300 marks to build and provided a profit of 40 marks per annum. It operated smoothly for four or so years. th Then on 20 ​ June 1548, Thomas Holland, Lord of the Manor of Clifton came with six ​ other men and broke down the end of the weir on the western bank. The water flowed out through the broken weir and the mill ceased operation. Truth to tell the western end of the weir rested on Thomas Holland’s land on the Clifton bank. Sir Robert Langley needed the co-operation of Thomas Holland in order to build the weir. The river must have been surveyed and the best spot for the weir must have rested on the Prestwich bank on the east and the Clifton bank on the west of the river. The two men, Sir Robert Langley and Thomas Holland, made a gentleman’s agreement about the weir five years earlier and Sir Robert, trusting Thomas Holland’s word, had gone ahead and built the project.

  • Lancashire: a Chronology of Flash Flooding
    LANCASHIRE: A CHRONOLOGY OF FLASH FLOODING Introduction The past focus on the history of flooding has been mainly with respect to flooding from the overflow of rivers and with respect to the peak level that these floods have achieved. The Chronology of British Hydrological Events provides a reasonably comprehensive record of such events throughout Great Britain. Over the last 60 years the river gauging network provides a detailed record of the occurrence of river flows and peak levels and flows are summaried in HiflowsUK. However there has been recent recognition that much flooding of property occurs from surface water flooding, often far from rivers. Locally intense rainfall causes severe flooding of property and land as water concentrates and finds pathways along roads and depressions in the landscape. In addition, intense rainfall can also cause rapid rise in level and discharge in rivers causing a danger to the public even though the associated peak level is not critical. In extreme cases rapid rise in river level may be manifested as a ‘wall of water’ with near instantaneous rise in level of a metre or more. Such events are usually convective and may be accompanied by destructive hail or cause severe erosion of hillsides and agricultural land. There have been no previous compilations of historical records of such ‘flash floods’or even of more recent occurrences. It is therefore difficult to judge whether a recent event is unusual or even unique in terms of the level reached at a particular location or more broadly of regional severity. This chronology of flash floods is provided in order to enable comparisons to be made between recent and historical floods, to judge rarity and from a practical point of view to assess the adequacy of urban drainage networks.
