  4. The council didn't receive an official pavilion booking prior to the event. The council received a request for use of the pavilion on Sunday 3rd August at 17.50 via email to the Parish Clerk (who is away on holiday) and copied to the Assistant to the Parish Clerk. I wasn't aware that the event was on until I saw the banner on the fence outside the playing field. I had seen no other publicity. A football match had taken place on the Sunday and the bins hadn't been emptied. The council allows use of the pavilion for the Play Day for free, so it didn't lose out financially.
  5. The Graham Edward Memorial Season is now into its final week. They have lots of equipment in the pavilion. They also had a match on the evening of the same day (kick off at 6.30pm). Although I was aware that the National Play Day happens around now I know the council didn't receive a booking form prior to the event. The first I knew of it was seeing a banner on the fence on Monday morning (although I had received an email on the Sunday asking if the building was available). In addition, following recent matches and the GE guys doing sterling work clearing up litter after all matches, all the litter bins are full. Although there was a collection on Monday morning, the collector (Ringway) refused to empty the pavilion bins. As it's a brown bin collection week, the pavilion bin will remain full until next weeks' collection. I hope that sheds clearer light on the situation.

  9. I intend to go and have a look if I get the time. I do wonder if this is anything to do with anti-fracking in some way. I notice "Stans" are getting their store roof covered in solar panels.
  10. I'm happy to lend a hand, but my vehicle is limited in so far as the amount of ex-television it can carry. And I've no idea where Richie's Wood is.

  19. A long running popular local football tournament based in Gobowen, which raises money for charity marks its 40th year of existence when this year’s competition kicks off in July. The Graham Edwards Memorial Trophy is named in memory of a promising young footballer from Gobowen who played for Gobowen and Weston Rhyn who sadly died of Leukaemia aged just 21 in 1974. The tournament was set up the following year and the impressive trophy was paid for with £100 raised at a dance. It is one of the longest running charity tournaments in the country and a sign of its longevity is that sons and even grandsons of players who played in the first tournament 40 years ago have played in the tournament in recent years. The tournament is competed for by 16 teams (all by invitation) and played as a straight knockout during late July and early August, leading up to a grand final on the second Sunday in August. Although the ultimate aim is raising money for charity, it is officially recognised by the Shropshire FA and is used by clubs as a good guide to their pre-season build up to their local leagues. The tournament had always been held at Gobowen Playing Field but in 2007, the committee made the decision to switch to the excellent facilities on offer at the newly built The Venue at Park Hall. With only a very small number of helpers to undertake various jobs such as marking the pitch, putting nets up, man the tea bar, etc for each game, The Venue had all that already in place. However, the tournament is now returning to its original home in Gobowen by popular demand. A new committee is in place but we are still in great need of volunteers to either join the committee or help out on matchdays. Anyone who can help will be made very welcome. With the move back to Gobowen, we would like to appeal to supporters old and new to come down and show their support. One feature of the grand final is that the trophy has always been presented by a footballing celebrity and over the years, we have been fortunate enough to get Steve Sutton (ex Derby, Nottingham Forest), Duncan McKenzie (ex Leeds, Everton), Steve Bull (ex Wolves, England), Dixie McNeill (ex Wrexham) and ex England striker Gary Lineker to name but a few. It is not known at the time of going to press who is likely to present the trophy this year. In addition to money raised at the matches, there is also a grand raffle which is drawn immediately after the end of the final. One of the conditions of entry for each team is that during the tournament, they are required to sell a minimum of 50 books of tickets, which raises an additional £800. The top 3 prizes this year are 1st. £100 cash, 2nd. A spa day for 2 people, 3rd a hamper, plus there are many more prizes. The committee would like to thank in advance anyone who has kindly donated any of the prizes but we would appeal to any individuals or businesses to donate prizes – any donations would be very gratefully received. The dates of matches for this year’s tournament are:- FIRST ROUND – Sunday 20th July (3.00pm and 6.30pm), Monday 21st July (6.30pm), Tuesday 22nd July (6.30pm), Wednesday 23rd July (6.30pm), Thursday 24th July (6.30pm), Sunday 27th July (3.00pm and 6.30pm). 2ND ROUND – Tuesday 29th July (6.30pm), Thursday 31st July (6.30pm), Sunday 3rd August (3.00pm and 6.30pm). SEMI FINALS – Tuesday 5th August (6.00pm), Thursday 7th August (6.00pm). FINAL – Sunday 10th August (3.00pm). All money raised from the tournament goes to Leukaemia Research and over the years, over £100,000 has been raised. However, more money is needed to continue research into beating a disease which claims so many lives so please give the tournament your support and help raise money for a very good cause. For further information or to offer help in any way, please contact competition secretary Wayn Martayn on 01691 671364. David Figg (Press Officer for Graham Edwards Memorial Trophy)
