Hello Ern, just found this site writing this to see if it works.

would like to wish everyone a very merry christmas and a happy new year, (thinking back of lying in bed at Vernon avenue Audley and listening to the Church bells striking midnight on Christmas Eve, couldnt sleep waiting for Father christmas to come) magical days, all the best to you all, Pam Stevenson (Rhodes)

Hiya Everyone at Audley Community News
Just to say that Issue 13 is fantastic.
Keep up the brilliant work.

Good site, as I now live in Sunderland Tyne & Wear the newsletter download is useful

What an Excellent feature on my Fathers Aunty and Uncles wedding day! Frank & Gladys plant March Edition. It certainly made my day seeing my dad on the front row looking at Gladys wedding dress blowing in the wind and to see my grand parents enjoying the day. It has turned out to be a real family Treasure for me. Excellent work keep it up!.

Congratulations Ernie!

The Sentinel 04.02.06

Hiya Everyone, just to let you know that things are looking good at the moment in Wood Lane. The Sentinel the other night said that it is hoped that Wood Lane would have a Post Office at the Commity Centre by April 2006. So keep our fingers crossed and with a bit of luck Wood Lane will have their Post Office back. Fantastic Work.
Love

I left Audley/Bignall End without a thought or a care thirty five years ago, I went to school at Halmerend Secondary Modern (as it was then). I have been in the USA for the last twenty years, and have visited Audley/Bignall End only once or twice in all that time. Until recently I never gave much thought to my past, where I grew up, the people I knew and the culture I grew up in, until my youngest daughter (7) starting asking me about England and where I came from. I have found that my memories came flooding back, bringing with it a sense of homesickness or longing for things I grew up with like Oatcakes ... but enough of my rambling on.. this guestbook and website has enabled me to touch my roots again. Thank You

Here is a poem I wrote many years ago, I hope you will enjoy it.

Woman, Mother, Lover

Who is Lover, Woman, Mother,
Eyes alive with life and living,
Full of laughter, loving, giving,
Dark with passion, wanting, yearning.

Who is Mother, Woman, Lover,
Hair resplendent with autumn reds,
Sunlight dancing on flaming threads,
Life's rank displayed, with silver bands.

Who is Woman, Lover, Mother,
Lips soft and full, promising pleasure,
That tease and laugh with equal measure,
Quick to laugh and slow to frown.

Who is Mother, Lover, Woman,
Heart in-tune to childrens voices,
Always listening, always loving,
Love for children everlasting.

David

Hello Ernie, I have been trying to send you an email but without success. Have you changed the address? Or is Australia too far away?

Hi Ernie . used to be your sisters best mate. I now live in west Aust. been here for about 25yrs. how is Marie? Love your internet site best wishes. Sue

Help someone please..............................

Where can I find Cedarwood Aftershave for Men by a company called Goya International Limited, who were based on Bond Street, in London.

I know that Goya went bump.
But don't know who bought them out.

I used to be able to get the aftershave from Blackpool.
But now can't find it anywhere.

My Uncle who is 76 has always used the aftershave, and now is running very low........................does anyone know where I can find some, I am willing to pay postage etc, if someone can point me in the right direction.

Thank you in anticipation of your help.

Love

Audley Learning Centre Closed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to thank all the people who are supporting us in our quest to get the building maintained as a Learning Centre. I have written to many people regarding the plight of the Learning Centre, including:

Paul Farrelly - MP for Newcastle Under Lyme
Audley Parish Council
Local Councillors
Local Parish Councillors
Areas within Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council
Local People

It is hoped that there will be a meeting to discuss this matter with the people mentioned above.

If you would like to have your say, to keep the Learning Centre open, then please send your comments, letters, thoughts etc to:

Audley Community News
either by mail:
Ernie Moulton 23 Wood Street, Bignall End
Dawn Dobson The Buttlands, Bignall HIll, Bignall End

or email:
audleycommunitynews@hotmail.com

or in the Guestbook of the Audley Community News Site www.audleycommunitynews.ik.com

or North West Staffordshire Rural Community Forum on http://nwsrcf.proboards20.com

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

I was just wondering why the Learning Centre has closed down in Audley. That means Youth 4 Audley is no more, and that the other things that were there are gonna stop, n thats not fair to anyone.

The CLIC (Cancer and Leukeamia in Childhood) Event held on Saturday 11th December in the Audley Community Centre raised £400.

We are hoping to have another Event in the Summer.

Went to the Christmas Fayre at the Audley Community Centre today and it was brilliant. I met a lovely elderly couple and had a fantastic laugh with them over a cup of coffee. Can't wait for the next Christmas Fayre. Congratulations Audley Community Centre. We had a lovely time.....and a great laugh.

If you visit www.netmums.com there is lots of information for parents. Regards, The Newsletter Team

Love the Site. Very informative. Any chance of some links to kids items though or perhaps a What's on for Kids in the area. Keep up the good work. Love the Newsletter too.

THANK YOU SARAH, you talked me into your group to learn the computer, at 72 years of age I hadn't a clue, and sure I would never learn, you proved me wrong. I breed exhibition budgerigars for a hobby, now I have friends all over the world on a Budgerigar Internet group, this is something I never thought possible.
I say to any one reading this letter, Contact Sarah, she is in Audley for us, just ask, and Sarah will do her best to help..Sarah THANK YOU.

Thanks for you comment about a for sale section. There is a section in the newsletter for articles for sale. We may also look at adding this to the site in future.

Sarah

excellent site, it looks impressive and all of the comments of suppourt are worth readin, might be worth takin some away though to make room for some more!

I'm with the other Tom when writing this, the site and newsletter are great, but it miht be worth removing the comments from Octoiber and before, they seem really old now!

We would like to say a big thank you for all your kind comments and support. Keep them coming!!

I would just like to congratulate you on the christmas issue of the newsletter. I found the contents to be of an excellent quality. Also the quality of the newsletter was outstanding, how you can keep this quality up is unbilievable. I do hope that the newsletter gets the credit it so much deserves, as I have only heard good coments from the people who have read it. I was quite surprised to see that the local parish council had not supported you, when you applied for funding. Keep up the good work

The site is excellent and easy to use - excellent! The newsletter looks very impressive too!

Many thanks for including the article on Audley Gardening Club on the notice board. Think the site is a great step forward for Audley.

A good start! I look forward to visiting the site and seeing it develop in the future.
All the best.

I've just been forwarded this site by my Uncle who lives in Bignall End. I live in Vancouver, Canada and look forward to visiting this site on a regular basis. Good luck

thanks for giving me your web address it works well and also thanks for the advert for our dive club all the best D.M

Hello Audley,
We would like to congratulate you on a wonderful site and wish you luck in your endeavours with the community news. We are writing from Boissevain, Manitoba, Canada, which is your twin town for the international communities in Bloom Competition. Please feel free to check out our community website http://www.boissevain.ca or our communities in bloom guestbook at http://www.boissevainrecorder.mb.ca/inbloom (where you can find the names of people who are looking for Audley Penpals or drop us a line just saying hello).
Again, congratulations on the well designed site, we particularly like the colour scheme (the earth tones make a nice combination). Have a great day and good luck on the 16th of August.
