The firework display at The Cricket Club on Sunday night was as usual a stunning visual display with fun for all the family and the community. Numbers were up on last year and funds were raised for the development of junior sport. No doubt you have all seen the new artificial grass pitch on the Ryleys playing field and the great number of children and adults making use of it to play hockey and football. It all has to be paid for so fund raising and self help initiatives are key.

What surprised and disappointed me were the twenty or so people who chose not to conribute to the good cause on Sunday night and chose instead to stand and watch the display,bold as brass from Mottram Road above the cricket ground failing to contribute a penny. Hopefully they were casual 'visitors' to Alderley Edge rather than locals and will if they read this perhaps will have a social conscience and consider a donation .

The Bonfire and Fireworks display at Alderley Edge Community Primary School was a huge success, there seemed to be more visitors this year, the food was fantastic and the firework display was brilliant. Well done to all the helpers who supported the school with there wonderful help.
