Performers make a big song

and dance about their new home!
CHESTER Operatic Society is looking
forward to June when they perform for
the first time in Clwyd Theatr Cymru in
Mold.
This summer the society is performing
one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most
exuberant operettas, The Gondoliers.
The audience is transported for a
romantic romp to beautiful Venice as
the two gondoliers marry “just the very
girls they wanted” only to immediately
leave them behind as they set sail to rule
Barataria together.
Intrigue and confusion abound in their
kingdom as the Grand Inquisitor discovers
the identity of the true king and we wait
to discover who is really married to whom. Exquisitely and exuberantly wrought with an
endless stream of beautiful melodies and dances, this traditional and colourful production of
“The Gondoliers” directed by Juliet Miles and Musical Director Graham Pike promises to be
an exciting production.
If you haven’t visited Theatre Clwyd before
or been to a Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta
then this show is definitely for you! .
The Gondoliers” is just as much of a lively
musical as an operetta with some wonderful
wit and lilting melodies.
The theatre is set in beautiful countryside
above the town and boasts a delightful bistro
where you can enjoy a delicious pre-show
meal or snack. There is lots of free parking
on site and easy access. The bar on the first
floor (lift available) has wonderful views over
the Welsh countryside where you can take
advantage of the lighter evenings.
Chester Operatic Society are hoping that
audiences who have seen and enjoyed their
performances in Chester in the past will find
the new venue convenient and accessible.
This friendly society offers a warm welcome
to new friends and familiar faces.
The show runs from 4th - 6th June. Call

WESTMINSTER PARK FC

Tracy Sheedy reports on a good season

on the pitch and an even better one off it
ON the field the 2008/9
season has seen mixed
fortunes for the ten
Westminster Park FC teams
playing in the Chester and
District Junior League.
The weather has played
havoc with fixtures and at
the time of writing teams still
have a number of games to
play but currently the Under
10s Lions have finished top
of their group and the U10s
Tigers form is improving
under a new manager. The
U11s in their first season
together have finished 3rd
in the league against really
tough competition.
The under 7s results are
not reported but they have
had a good season. The
three under 9s teams, Lions,
Cougars and Tigers have
finished in respectable mid
table positions with Lions
leading the way in 5th place.
The Under 12s have had a
tough season having been
promoted to Division One at
the start of the year, through
grit and determination they
are still hopeful of retaining
their Division One status
next year.
The Under 13s form has
improved and has seen
them winning three out
of the last four games.
Finally the U14s Warriors
remain an enthusiastic and
committed team that really
enjoys their football.
Away from the field
Westminster Park FC goes
from strength to strength.
This year we have launched
the very successful Pay

School goes solar

QUEEN’S Park High School is set to become one
of the greenest schools in Chester when £20,000
solar panels are installed with funding from The
Co-operative.
The school is one of 80 UK schools selected to
receive a grant in the second phase of The Co-
operative’s Green Energy for Schools scheme.
The photovoltaic panels are half funded through
 
The Co-operative’s scheme with match funding
from the Government’s Low Carbon Building Programme (LCBP).
A monitor screen in the school building will display how much energy the panels are
generating and how much carbon dioxide they have saved to date.
Schools will also be able to access their energy data on the Internet, along with educational
materials which teachers can download for use in the classroom.
Sarah Klueter, The Co-operative’s senior community manager, said: “As well as cutting carbon
dioxide emissions and saving the school money on electricity bills, the solar panels will serve
as a reminder to the whole community of the urgent need to do what we can to tackle climate
change.”
Headteacher Andrew Firman added: “It is fantastic to be among the schools chosen to receive
free solar panels through this generous Co-operative initiative.
“Schools have a vital role to play in educating the next generation about climate change and
using this renewable energy technology to power our own premises will help us to bring that
message home to students, parents and staff.”

THE Queen’s Park High School team

represented Cheshire in the Young
Consumers of the Year North West
final.
The team of Rob Eadie (captain),
Chris Thomas, Aaron Allen and Scott
Wallace made it through to the grand
final at the Trafford Centre where they
finished in fourth place.
Students from the different North
West Schools answered a series of
questions based on consumer affairs
in a ‘University Challenge’ style
competition.
The year 12 team from QPHS won
£100 for the school.

Arthritis of the big toe
BY PETER COLHOUN
HAVE you noticed that your big toe is sore
when you walk? Maybe you think that the
joint is starting to stiffen and your toe is
not moving as freely as it used to. Perhaps
you also have a bunion or hard skin on
the bottom of your big toe... These are all
indicators that you may have degeneration
or arthritis of the big toe joint.
There are several clinical terms for the
different presentations of arthritis of the big
toe. This time, we’re going to discuss Hallux
Rigidus and Hallux Limitus.
“Hallux” is simply the Latin name for the Big
Toe, and if your big toe joint has stiffened up
over time (or after injury) it will either become
completely rigid (hallux rigidus) or it will have a
limited range of movement (hallux limitus).
Self-test: cross your leg so you can hold your
big toe. Push it upwards, and see how far you
can move it towards your shin. If it can dorsiflex
or move about two-thirds of a right angle, then
your big toe has a normal range of movement.
If you can’t do this - or if it’s painful to do so -
then you may have hallux limitus or rigidus.
What causes Hallux Limitus/Rigidus?
Stiffening of the big toe joints commonly tends
to occur because of overpronation. In other
words, if your feet roll inwards too much, or
you have flat feet, you put extra pressure on
the inner border of your foot, and the big toe
joint gets too much wear and degenerates over
time.
Other causes include injury/trauma or
medical conditions like rheumatoid arthritis
and gout which predispose people to arthritis
in the joints. These diseases have genetic,
inflammatory components and often occur in
specific joint patterns and locations.
What can I do to reduce the pain?
The most logical step is to consider first aid
self-help when you have an acute attack. This
essentially means that you listen to your feet
and rest when the joint/s become painful!
Born on 22nd May 1978: Model Katie Price, aka Jordan
Your podiatrist can also recommend exercises
to keep the joint mobile; many patients are
surprised at what a few minutes of mobilisation
can achieve each day.
It’s also essential that you check your shoes
fit properly. Evidence based research has
clearly shown that ill-fitting footwear contributes
to hallux rigidus and limitus, although do
not conclude that this refers simply to ladies
wearing tight high-heels! Badly fitting footwear
is manifest across men and women with
diverse occupational and sporting activities,
so get your shoe fitter, orthotist or podiatrist
to double check your shoe size and footwear
recommendations.
What will a podiatrist do?
If (after proper diagnosis) simple measures
do not reduce your symptoms, another option
includes the provision of orthotic insoles for
your footwear. Depending on the results of
an hour’s biomechanical assessment, these
specialist insoles can either be made to
support your big toe joint and reduce painful
movement, or alternatively, off-load any painful
joint and increase mobility of a restricted joint.
Where necessary, your podiatrist can refer
you for X-ray, and then talk about further
options/referrals as indicated.
If you would like an appointment, please
phone 01244 682500 or 07880 702475 and
ask for a Podiatry appointment with Peter.
