Tickets now on sale for the Big Tea Party Sunday, June 18, 3pm – 5.30pm Only a few days to go to the biggest neighbourhood street party Ashton Hayes has ever seen so please, make sure you buy your tickets in advance to secure your places at this unique event on the beautiful QE II playing field on Ashton Lane. There'll be fun, laughter, inflatables for children and music for all. And there will be no need to worry if it rains on the day because tea will be taken with your friends and neighbours under one giant marquee. There will also be a brief but moving ceremony to plant a Cox's apple tree in memory of Jo Cox, the West Yorkshire MP and mother of two young children who was murdered on June 16, 2016. Jo was all about combating isolation and uniting communities. In light of recent, terrible events in London and Manchester her words, spoken just a year before her tragic death, assume an even greater significance: "We have far more in common than things that divide us." Tickets for the Big Tea Party are just £3 person (under 11s go free), and are available now. Buy yours at the Pavilion Café, which is hosting the event, or at Ashton Hayes and Mouldsworth Community Shop. Purchasing your tickets in advance will help the hard working band of volunteers who run the café to plan the catering. Your numbered ticket will cover sandwiches, cake and other tasty tea-time treats with a hot drink for adults and squash for children. But please, do bring tea party finger food as well to share with others in true street party style. The café will be open on the day for those who wish to buy additional items such as ice creams, cold drinks, biscuits and crisps. Numbers corresponding to all tickets sold will be entered into a prize draw for a hamper kindly donated by the community shop so don't forget to keep hold of your tickets after showing them on the gate. The winning number will be drawn at random. Any profits from this event will be shared with St John's Church, Ashton Hayes; Ash-worth Time Bank and the Jo Cox Foundation. Donations will be most welcome. Around Ashton This newsletter is produced quarterly by Ashton Hayes & Horton-cum-Peel Parish Council on behalf of residents.

Grants for local students from Tarvin Educational Trust The Tarvin Educational Trust is a charity that was established in 1955 to manage the endowment of the old Tarvin Grammar School. Its purpose is to assist the educational needs of children of secondary age or older who live in the Ancient Parish of Tarvin. This is an area that covers Tarvin, Kelsall, Ashton Hayes and Clotton Hoofield, and the trust is managed by representatives from those parishes and a member of Cheshire West and Chester Council as the local education Authority. This assistance may take the form of financial assistance for tuition fees, books, musical instruments and travel on approved courses. The next round of applications should be made no later than 31 st August 2017 to the Clerk of the Governors, Mr David Cotgreave, Brown Heath Farm, Tarvin, Chester CH3 8NE, Tel 01829 740231 Not many people may be aware of the Trust, or the fact that in 1666 a local man, Mr. Pickering, founded a Grammar School for the free education of 20 poor local children. He built the School Room and a house for the teacher next to the church in Tarvin, and these buildings exist today as the Parish Rooms and an adjoining cottage. It is the rents from these and from some agricultural land in Tattenhall that provide the Trust with its modest income (£8,000 to £10,000 per annum) and allow it to continue to support the educational needs of local young people.
