Congratulations to D. Bailey for submitting our winning picture seen on the front cover of this edition of The Thread.
welcometo the Christmas edition of The Thread
As Christmas celebrations get well underway, we’re delighted to bring you this seasonal Thread eMagazine, jam packed with ideas to get you out and about and joining in the festive fun.
This year there’s even more to do in Macclesfield with Christmas lights and party nights, craft fairs and artisan markets, street entertainment and a wide range musical performance to suit all tastes.
What’s more we’ve got an extended WinterFest becoming firmly established on our advent calendars as a real ‘must-not-miss-it’ festival.
The Thread, which has recently celebrated its first anniversary, is brought to you by Make It Macclesfield and Canalside the Thread 102.8FM. The Thread, with its comprehensive website, acts as a central hub to find out about news, events and activities throughout the area. Make It Macclesfield is all about helping the town’s regeneration and strengthening the local economy and Canalside the Thread works in partnership to help ensure local residents and visitors are engaged in the local community network.
Leaf through this eMagazine and see what’s happening around Macclesfield. If you’re looking for something to do, you’ll be spoilt for choice. There’s no excuse not to get out and have some fun.
We wish you a joyful Christmas and prosperous New Year.
It’s hard to believe but another year has almost come to an end and I thought it would be useful to let everyone know how 2013 has been for Canalside’s The Thread. This time last year we were cementing our working relationship with the Make It Macclesfield business forum and issuing our first publication to coincide with the 2012 festive celebrations. We were also starting to develop The Thread website as a one stop shop where locals and visitors to our town and its surrounding areas could find out exactly what was going on in the area. I have to say a big thank you to Simon Leah, Chris de Wet, Trish Napier, Tina Randall and the rest of our volunteers for the terrific support they have give us over the year. It is a tribute to all of them that our communication network is held in such high esteem. I must also say a big thank you to Nick Wright and his faithful friend DJ Dippy for all the long hours they put in to ensure that our programmes are giving, according to our listener research, exactly what our local community is asking for and our listenership both on air and via the internet is growing month by month. It is hard to believe that it is nearly five years since we started our full time broadcasting on 102.8 fm. Who can forget 10.28 am on Thursday 4th December 2008 when, after being granted a full time broadcasting license by our governing body Ofcom, Nick Wright and our then Chairman Alan Sherratt set us on the road to many successes. Our radio station, together with our youth internet station Phase One radio, have seen, on a continual basis, in excess of 70 volunteers per year helping with our project which has truly spread the message of what a great community we have.
annual review
Each year we have given the opportunity to local not-for-profit organisations, charities, schools, and colleges to come to our studios to inform our listeners what they are all about. Our training schemes have also given local people the opportunity to start, and progress their careers in the media. Fiona Sadler, who is now working for Key 103 in Manchester, Julia Bradbury, Holly Bradbury, and Rachel Hatton are now familiar faces on national television. We also train, each year, over 100 youngsters in schools work experience programmes and offer work experience placements to people on the Neets scheme and to residents of the Rossendale Trust and the David Lewis Centre. We have recently been granted charitable status for our training section, Canalside’s Phase One training and are working, along with our training partner HH Audio Productions, to get our training scheme nationally recognised accreditation. We have many plans in the pipeline to extend and improve what we do in 2014, so keep an ear and eye open for more information as it becomes available. Finally I must say a big thank you to all our marvellous sponsors, in particular our main sponsors Incom Telecommunications, Central Tyre and Auto, Holmes Naden Estate Agents, and Cheshire Demolition and Excavation Contractors, for their kind and generous financial sponsorship, and also to Cheshire East Council and Bollington Town Council for their donations. In conclusion I would like to take the opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Prosperous New Year.

Reawakening for dormant Christ Church will benefit whole community
Plans to breathe new life into Macclesfield’s disused Christ Church are gathering momentum.
Built by local industrialist Charles Roe in 1775, the church remained redundant and unused for 30 years until this summer, when the Barnaby Festival resurrected it as a flagship venue for the 2013 celebrations.
Now there are plans to bring the Georgian building back into permanent community use. Proposals for the so-called Roe-naissance Project, which would exploit the church’s architecture and acoustics by providing a kids play and arts centre during the day and a performance, music and lecture space at night, won strong support during a three month consultation. More than half of respondents said they liked the idea with only one in ten registering their disapproval. Of the 360 people who commented, more than 90 per cent said they were prepared to accept some level of development or adaptation to bring Christ Church back into community use. Such strong public support could help win funding for the next stage which will include a feasibility study and business plan before further consultation. The church’s revival will also be a key element in a proposed strategy for heritage and culture in Macclesfield which could span the next 10 to 15 years. Cheshire East Council is in early talks with Make it Macclesfield and groups like The Roe-naissance Project to secure the future use of some of the town’s important heritage sites including the Silk Museum and old Town Hall.
Lynne Jones, chair of Barnaby Festival and member of Make it Macclesfield said: “Events like Barnaby have played a key role in the town’s cultural reawakening. A strategy that takes a co-ordinated and clear overview of how we can do the same for our heritage and buildings is a huge step forward.”

The Grosvenor Centre gets into the spirit There’s a very busy calendar of Christmas delights at Macclesfield’s Grosvenor Centre. As well as late-night shopping on Thursday 12th and 19th December, each Saturday in December will see local brass bands and choirs performing a collection of festive favourites in the shopping centre.
As part of the 2013 Christmas Lights Switch On event the Grosvenor Centre hosted children’s ‘Elf Yourself‘ activities which gave children the chance to dress us up as one of Santa’s little helpers. A professional photographer captured the special moment with photos being uploaded to Facebook to encourage friends and families to ‘like’ their favourite elf. The winner with the most likes will win a Christmas hamper full of goodies from stores at the Grosvenor Centre. 2013 also sees the return of the Grotto and the Christmas Toy Appeal. On Saturdays and Sundays between 7th and 22nd December families can visit Santa’s Grotto and meet Father Christmas himself. Tickets, costing £5, can be purchased from the grotto on the day of your visit.
The centre will also be encouraging generous shoppers to donate to the ever-deserving Toy Appeal to help local children in need. Toys for children of all ages are welcomed, and can be dropped off at the centre.
Gary Sharpley, Centre Manager said, “Our shopping centre is at the forefront of the local community and we feel it is important to give something back. We have a full calendar of Christmas activity this year and hope by sponsoring the Christmas Lights Switch On we will give families the opportunity to enjoy a free day out and spread a little Christmas cheer around Macclesfield.”

Macclesfield Town Update I am sure that at the start of the season most level headed Macclesfield Town fans would have said that, after the well documented financial difficulties of the close season, survival in the Skrill Premiership this season would be considered a success. Now after nearly four months of the season aspirations are probably a little bit higher. Legends John Askey and Efe Sodje were given the daunting task of putting together a squad on probably the lowest budget for some considerable time and declared that they only wanted to bring in players who wanted to play for the club. The early weeks showed that the team was taking some time to gel and results were disappointing, in fact after the opening nine games of the season the side were in the bottom three of the league with only 3 points to show for their efforts. The first win of the season came at home to Woking, who were beaten 3-2 at the Moss Rose on September 21st. Following that win the team started to become settled, playing some of what is viewed to be the best football seen at the Moss Rose in many seasons and are unbeaten in their last eight league and cup games. After the 3-1 win over Dartford on November 16th, the Silkmen had accumulated 26 points and risen to 14th place in the league. They had also progressed to the second round of the FA Cup and the winners of the first round replay between Gillingham and Brackley will travel to the Moss Rose on Saturday 7th December, and along with the home side will be looking to win that game and earn themselves a potential money spinning game in the third round. The Silkmen will also be looking to emulate last year’s cup run when they reached, for the first time in their history, the fourth round of the cup before losing to the eventual cup winners Wigan Athletic. As stated earlier the squad are now playing some exciting football and scoring plenty of goals. Connor Jennings is the current top scorer and is attracting attention from sides in higher divisions. Unless the financial situation at the club improves it seems very likely that Connor and some of the other top players such as Scott Bowden and Carl Martin will possibly be leaving to play at a higher level when the January transfer window opens. All Maxonians can help the plight of the club by going to watch a game or offering financial support in any way they can. The term “Against all Odds” was developed when the club was promoted to the football league in 1997 and is possibly even more relevant know as they battle for survival.

communityTasty turkeys are a real treat Food4MaccDirect aims to make it easier for everyone in Macclesfield to eat tasty, fresh, nutritious and affordable local food. Trading since April 2011, this not-for-profit community enterprise has worked hard to bring local food to local people and the festive period is a busy time when local produce is in great demand. Each week Food4Macc Direct supplies a number of pick up locations across Macclesfield. These include Amuse Café, St Dunstan’s in Langley as well as their hub at Gilchrist Avenue near Broken Cross. This year home delivery was introduced so that residents can have local food brought to their doorsteps. Last Christmas, turkeys ordered from local producer Bailey’s in Knutsford, soon sold out. Volunteers from Food4MaccDirect distributed the great quality local birds with a cup of mulled wine, a mince pie and plenty of Christmas cheer! This helped to make their customer’s Christmas more festive whilst enabling them to support local businesses. This December, Food4MaccDirect is selling turkeys in addition to veg bags, chocolate tortes and locally made chocolate bars. They are also putting together a Christmas selection of local produce - an ideal foodie gift to celebrate scrumptious Cheshire fayre. Food4MaccDirect source more than half of their products from within 12 miles of Macclesfield with producers receiving 80% of the money spent. At this time of year it is good to know that you can get so much of your Christmas dinner from the local area. For more information or to place an order visitwww.food4maccdirect.co.uk
did you know?Father Christmas
Father Christmas is one of the names many of us in the UK use to refer to the jovial, red robed and bearded figure we associate with the Christmas gift giving season and many of its related traditions.
He also appears in a similar guise in other places around the world – although many countries have their own variations on his name and Christmas traditions they follow.
In Ireland, Father Christmas is traditionally called Daidí na Nollag by Irish speakers. The French call him Père Noël, whereas the Spanish (and most Hispanic speaking countries) refer to him as Papá Noel, or Padre Noel. Brazilians also call him Papai Noel.
Norway has a slight traditional variation on the persona of Father Christmas – as one of the other names they give him is Julenissen or the Christmas Gnome.
Russian people call Father Christmas Ded Moroz, which translates as Grandfather Frost, and the Japananse call him Uncle Santa – Santa No Ojisan.
The German people have a few names they associate with the character of Father Christmas. Father Der Weihnachtsmann is possibly the nearest to our term for him, but he is also sometimes referred to as Kris Krindle or Christkindl. This name translates as “The Christ Child” and may relate to an alternative seasonal gift giving tradition – or indeed the reason for the Christmas Celebration.
Another German name for Father Christmas, and one that we would be most familiar with, is Sankt Niklaus. This translates as Saint Nicholas, and it refers to the original Saint Nick and the gift giving traditions associated with him. There is a variation on this name that is used in the Netherlands - Sinter Klaas and also one that is used in most countries where English is spoken - Santa Claus.
JCVAPE was set up by a local family who gave up smoking using vapers, but found it increasingly difficult to spend hours on line or go to over-priced shops with little or no knowledge of the products, so after many hours of research set up their own shop.
Vaping?This alternative to smoking is proving to be a revolution with its health, social and financial benefits.As an example a 20 a day smoker will spend in excess of £50 a week, will cough at least 15 times a day, have stained teeth, clothes, fingers and skin, vile smelling breath and socially you have been forced to be ‘abnormal’ by the government making you smoke outside. As an employer you have many hours of down time as your smokers head outside to take a break. Then there is the fire hazards including the obvious and who hasn’t lost a lighter and singed their hair and eye brows on the gas hob? Vape liquid contains 4 pharmacy grade chemicals in comparison to cig-arettes which containsthousands. 69 of which are known to cause can-cers. Vaping has no cancer causing chemicals but like tobacco contains nico-tine which is the addictive ‘drug’. Treating the nicotine addiction is only a very small part of the problem. Many products have been produced as smoking cessation but do not address the habit of holding something and blowing out smoke. Vaping does this by giving you something in your hand, something that allows you to blow out smoke and a safe nicotine hit without the 1000’s of dangerous chemicals found in cigarettes.Vaping does not create a hazard for non smokers as the exhaled product does not contain any harmful substances.
So what is the science behind it? The Vaping units and e cigarettes are known as ENDS (electronic nicotine delivery systems) they work by a battery which when engaged produce heat which through a wick soaked in liquid and sucked through the mouth piece produce water vapour, you inhale the vapour.
Recent news: We are working with a supplier who is now already in the process of licensing by 2016, and is already UK based.
Come and experience the alternative..Our shop is staffed only by people who fully understand what they are selling and are all now VAPERS not SMOKERS.We continue to research the market to bring to you locally the best prod-ucts.We have quality not copied products. All batteries carry a 28 day factory defect guarantee.We offer the full range of liquids to taste using disposable mouth pieces to prevent any form of cross infection to our customers.
JCVAPE is now open. 19 Back Wallgate
Macclesfield.Opening times:
Monday to Saturday 9.30 to 6pm The last Sunday of the Month 10-4pm
Read on: “I was a 40 a day smoker, since Vaping I am saving £85 pounds a week”“I cannot believe how much better I feel and smell and look”“I Vape at my desk, I concentrate and work harder because I no longer have to get up and go for a cig then return to my working having to spend time re capping on what i was doing before and I notice that people don’t turn to look at me no more, welI I don’t woft in smelling like an ash tray”“my 80 year mum smokes and we started to worry as she had burn marks from fags all round her chair and even through her dressing gown, she now is Vaping and is safe!, she also used it in hospital recent-ly, they let her or she was going to leave”“I burnt my arm really badly and my car seat when I chucked my fag out the window and it blew back in”
As Christmas is coming we will be running special offers and Christmas packs so that dilemma of whether to buy socks or gift
boxes of toiletries which are never used is over!
