Glorious at Altrincham Little Theatre

Absolutely wonderful night

Fantastic cast and great to get out and support our local theatre … if you’ve never been it’s the theatre on Oxford Road between Oxford Road Cafe and Yara

The comedy is based on the true story of Florence Foster Jenkins, a New York City socialite and amateur singer who could not carry a tune but was convinced she was a great singer. She performed mostly privately for trusted friends, so that she would not be mocked, and made recordings. Ultimately, at the age of 76, she gave a legendary public performance in Carnegie Hall in New York

* the show runs until Saturday and tickets are still available. Poster details in photos below

Good to catch up with Connor Rand MP this afternoon.

I suggested local business Memories Cafe Bar to meet

As a business in the area for 15 years (and resident for over 40) it's good to talk about all the local professional services businesses that aren't on the high street.

It's an area that I'm really passionate about and it's good to get our voice across.

But we talked about all things Altrincham.

From business to community we covered everything from Altrincham VS Cancer to other charities to parks to schools and Altrincham FC (although Connor is a bigger football fan than me).

As the saying goes … it's good to talk.

EVENTS: The SS25 Paint Altrincham Pink Fashion Show is Next Week!

The SS25 Paint Altrincham Pink Fashion Show takes place on Thursday 20th March at 7pm at House Kitchen and Bar. This annual event, organised by Altrincham BID who produce Visit Altrincham, promises an evening of glamour and inspiration all in support of Prevent Breast Cancer, the only UK charity committed solely to predicting and preventing breast cancer.

Attendees will be treated to a stunning showcase of Spring/Summer 2025 collections from some of Altrincham’s fashion retailers, including Skanda, Monsoon, M&S, Elite Pre-Loved, and Next. The event’s models will have their hair and makeup styled by the expert team at LOOKFANTASTIC.

Tickets are priced at just £10, which includes a welcome drink, delicious canapés, and an exclusive goodie bag. Best of all, 100% of the ticket price will be donated to Prevent Breast Cancer, based at the Nightingale Centre at Wythenshawe Hospital. Tickets can be booked on Eventbrite.co.uk.

In addition to the fashion show, guests can take part in an exciting raffle featuring fantastic prizes generously donated by Altrincham’s local businesses.

Mandy White, Altrincham BID Director, explained:

“The Paint Altrincham Pink Fashion Show is always a fantastic evening, bringing together the community for an important cause. We are proud to support Prevent Breast Cancer while also celebrating the vibrant fashion scene in Altrincham. A huge thank you to our volunteer.”

Caroline Bennison, from Prevent Breast Cancer, added:

“This event is a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness and funds for our charity while enjoying an evening of fashion and fun. We are incredibly grateful for the continued support from Altrincham BID and the local businesses that make this event possible.”

Wonderful to spend the afternoon with Lund Bennett Law yesterday.

It's so important to get the whole team on board for social media as well as the marketing department.

Did you know for instance

- Employees typically have 10x the reach of company pages

- 93% of purchasing decisions are influences by social media

- 74% of consumers cite word of mouth as a major influence over their purchasing decisions.

- Over 9 in 10 consumers trust referrals from friends and family over anything else

All compelling stats.

Which is why businesses need to encourage their teams to be more active on social media!

It makes sense for the staff as well.

Become so damn good at the promotion on social media that you're indispensable and you build a brand that enhances your career.

RED February - Altrincham vs cancer 2025 with Steph Hewitt of Physiobarn

So…Altrincham V Cancer comes around remarkably quickly.

And, to be honest, I wasn’t sure I felt completely up to another RED (run every day) February.

So, for a while, whilst still wanting to be involved, I thought I’d come up up with an alternative (maybe slightly less demanding…) way of being involved this year.

And then my friend Lily’s son John became poorly. Really, scarily poorly.

And, as a parent, it really is your worst nightmare. Having flipped between Alder Hey and the Walton Centre (neurology specialist centre), he ended up at The Christie for the whole of February, with an additional week either side. So then, anything other than doing a daily challenge, with John having daily treatment, felt like a cop-out.

Besides, I enjoy running. Not necessarily every day, but I do. I still remember, in my early 20s, trying to ‘go for a run’ for the first time and getting halfway down the road, only to have to stop and gasp for air! But I persisted. And I’ve gradually built it up over the years, and am conditioned to it. I’ve flirted with 10ks and half-marathons over the years. But myself and my body now prefer ‘little and often’, alongside my strength training and high(er) intensity cardio training, so important for a middle-age woman. But I enjoy the fact I can (still!) run. Yes, running gives me my cardio and metabolic health, but its also the switch off, the unwind, the mood-switcher (always from bad to good…other than the one where I got chased by a goose…), the perspective-giver (always from irrational to more rational), the event-planner and the problem-solver.

So, yes, it was a challenge, particularly on Mondays and Thursdays (these are my usual rest days – I also work long hours on those days, so it meant a 5:20am start…), but one I’m really glad I pushed myself to do.

There were some runs with very ‘heavy’ legs (I can usually shake that off after about 1km, but not always…), but there wasn’t one I regretted, or didn’t ultimately enjoy.

Quite like being out, before Altrincham wakes up, just pounding / plodding (dependent on the day…!) the streets.

And I would encourage anyone to give it a go…maybe for Altrincham V cancer 2026…?

NEWS: Tesco Altrincham talk about their huge fundraiser for Altrincham VS Cancer

This was our third year of supporting Altrincham vs Cancer. Every year we have been determined to beat the previous years amount and this year we went big.

We did a lot of planning and pre work to help make this total huge. This was from the money taken from community shop sales throughout the year, Christmas makers market takings , the community book corner and the main weekend.

We are overwhelmed and proud of the actual total and so happy that we can support the Christie.

We have been Doing the Christie challenge and our first part of the medal was Altrincham vs cancer 2024. Throughout the year we have done adhoc events for the Christie and wanted to finish the last challenge with the wow factor.

From the money raised on piece one up to piece 6, we have raised £23774 for the Christie this year.

The £16922 total from this years Altrincham vs cancer is the main part of the total donations.

We couldn't do this without each and every customer whom donated and bought from the community shop.
Our colleagues also played such an important part from doing a session on the bike to helping out on the events throughout the year.

Thank you all once again.
We are proud to be working in and supporting the Altrincham community 🥰🥰🥰

NEWS: North Cestrian School talk about their fundraising for Altrincham VS Cancer.

Mr Cliffe explains more

"Last week Year 7 and 10 took part in the Altrincham vs Cancer fundraiser. We as a school are proud to support the initiative that has been organised by Alex @ Altrincham HQ. All across our local community there were several fundraising events taking place throughout February. Our Year 7s and 10s were tasked with completing a 5km run / walk / hop / skip / jump around the fields whilst raising money at the same time.

Some of our most creative students piggy backed their way round whilst others chased personal best times to complete the run with our some of Year 7 boys (pictured) completing a 10km in their allocated time.

It's not too late to donate either! If you would like to contribute, please use the following link: https://www.justgiving.com/page/altrinchamvscancer2025

Thank you to all those who took part."
