News in Heswall

If you're a parent, grandparent or guardian looking for something with which to entertain the kids now, or perhaps when October half-term arrives at the end of the month, then those helpful folk at the Heswall Society have the answer - in more ways than one.

The Society's new Family Treasure Hunt aims to help local families enjoy the town, and bring a fresh view of the historic community in which they live.

Wirral detectives investigating an assault in Arrowe Park have issued an image of two men they'd like to speak to in connection with their investigation.

At around 6.10pm on Tuesday 21 September, police received a report that a male victim walking his dog near Arrowe Park playing fields was assaulted.

Left arm spinner and former England player Monty writes regularly for Twickenham Nub News. As the row over the abandoned white ball tour of Pakistan continues to rumble, with West Indian fast bowling legend Michael Holding entering the fray, this is what Monty had to say:

The more fear you have, the less is the possibility of freedom.

In the new, Autumn edition of its helpful and informative newsletter, the Heswall Society points out that, despite COVID restrictions and the impossibility of face to face meetings, new members have stepped forward to enlist.

However, the Society adds that it is always looking for more people with an interest in the future of the town and district to swell its ranks.

If you are organising future local events, small or large, for former lockdowners getting back into the swing of entertainment, fun and socialising, we want to help by promoting them for free here on Heswall Nub News.

Heswall Nub News aims to bring you topical news and views from Heswall and district, but we are also just as keen to support all of the community groups and activities that add so much value to our lives.

Reports that the "thriving" Brackenwood golf course may close have been met with huge anger.

Cllr Jerry Williams, who represents Bebington in Wirral, said council officials put forward a plan to close Brackenwood and turn it into an 'eco park' at a non-public workshop last night.

We are thrilled to be able to announce that, after having been closed for the best part of 18 months, Off the Ground Youth Theatre is reopening this week!

The first COVID-19 lockdown arrived just days after our final youth theatre performance of Monkey! in 2020, and days before our upcoming production of Wind in the Willows, which sadly had to be cancelled.

The Blind Pig at 168 Telegraph Road is looking for bar staff.

The popular cocktail bar is well established and a fun place to hang out, and its partnership with Heswall Hall means an evening there - just over the road from the Blind Pig - for a show or gig can be livened up nicely with a Blind Pig snifter or two.
