An address in Glossop and four in Moss Side were raided by police in the early hours of this morning (Wednesday 3 June) as part of the Charlie Singh murder investigation.

Two men, aged 22 and 23, were arrested on suspicion of murder, conspiracy to murder and armed robbery. They remain in police custody for questioning.

EVERY little monkey deserves a story and a cuddle – that’s why Book Trust wants Tameside’s parents and carers to take their youngsters to a Time for a Rhyme event during National Bookstart Week (June 8 to 14).

This year’s theme, Jungle Adventures, is based on Giles Andreae’s popular picture book “Rumble in the Jungle”, which will be given away to more than 400,000 families.

National Bookstart Week is an annual celebration of Book Trust’s flagship reading programme. It tells families about the importance of getting children into the habit of reading every day, even if it’s only for 10 minutes.

Councillor Lynn Travis, Tameside Council’s executive member with responsibility for libraries, said: “Reading is such a vital skill, but it’s a very enjoyable one too. As a mother I’m fully aware of the fun there is to be had reading with your children. It’s an important part of bonding, too.”

Jungle-themed Time for a Rhyme sessions will be taking place at Tameside Libraries all week:

• Tameside Central Library, Old Street, Ashton – Tuesday 2pm
• Denton Library, Denton Town Hall – Thursday 2.15pm
• Dukinfield Library, Concord Way – Thursday 2pm
• Hyde Library, Hyde Town Hall – Tuesday 10.30am
• Stalybridge Library, Trinity Street – Wednesday 2.15pm

Anyone unable to make a Rumble in the Jungle Time for a Rhyme can find lots of jungle-themed arts and crafts, games and recipes on the Bookstart website.

The Tour of Tameside made an historic return at the weekend with around 1,000 runners stepping up for the three-day challenge across our region.

Billed as a major community event for the whole of the North West, the Tour has been hailed a huge success with organisers pledging it will be back, bigger and better, next year.

The iconic running event, which once attracted athletes from around the globe, was first created back in the 1980s by legendary British Marathon runner Dr Ron Hill MBE.

Ron was back at the start-line himself this year to see the rebirth of the Tour after an absence of more than a decade and made possible by Sports Tours International working with local organisations.

Don’t miss our special four-page spotlight on the Tour in this week’s Tameside Reporter and Glossop Chronicle with all the news and results from the big event.

A sense of nostalgia hangs heavy over Surrey Street.

Six years have passed since Glossop felt heartache at Wembley Stadium, but a lust to return is stronger than ever.

One man who knows what it will take to reach the penultimate stage in the competition is Captain Dave Young.

The club stalwart, who has made 414 appearances for the club, has become an integral part in Glossop’s success.

Having sampled a taste in 2009, the defender is hungry for more.

Reminiscing on his previous experience in the final, Dave told Chronicle Sport “I captained Glossop when we were previously at Wembley and the whole experience of playing there is just unbelievable.

“There were four or five of us playing for the side in that game who are still here now, so we know what potentially awaits us if we do reach the final.

“We honestly struggled to hear each other on the pitch because it was that loud and there were only 12,000 people inside the stadium.”

The dispiriting nature of losing the Final is a mutual feeling shared in the dressing room.

Succumbing to a 2-0 defeat during the final in 2009 were Kieran Lugsden, Tom Bailey, Sam Hind and Martin Parker.

Despite competing in the 9th tier of English football, Glossop are renowned for their vocal support.

Chris Willcocks men have been cheered on by crowds this season that far exceed the average attendance.

Described by Dave as ‘outstanding’, the Surrey Street faithful have more than played their part in the clubs upward trajectory. He added “The support this season has been brilliant both home and away and it will only get better if we continue to win games.

“We’ve taken 200 fans to some places this season which is amazing for a club of our size and they’ve really played a part in the clubs success.”

With great power comes great responsibility, but Dave, and his team mates, wouldn’t have it any other way. He added “Obviously a lot of people have been taking an interest in the club because of our decent run, but we’re not particularly bothered by that and the more support the better, in all honesty.”

Naturally, the player’s thoughts are preoccupied with a trip to Wembley Stadium.

According to Dave though, the league takes precedence.

Despite trailing Runcorn Linnets by 11 points, the skipper believes the momentum lies with the Hillmen. He said “Although we want to win the FA Vase, our main priority lies within the league and it’s important that we continue to keep the pressure on Runcorn by winning our games in hand.

“Cup competitions have been really good this season and it’s great that we’ve been able to get this far in the Vase for the fans.

“Although we’ve played a lot of cup games, they haven’t hindered our league performances yet and we’ve got a really good momentum going at the moment because of those wins.”

For a period last Saturday, it looked as if Chris Willcocks men were heading for defeat against Nelson.

However, Glossop stole all three points in the dying stages of the game thanks to Jason Carey and Captain fantastic.

Questioned on the importance of the win, Dave said “beating Nelson was a relief for everyone at the club because we didn’t play particularly well on the afternoon, but the most important thing was picking up the three points.”

The club followed last weekend’s victory up with another win on Tuesday night.

Glossop made the relatively short journey to Winsford United and returned to Derbyshire with a 4-1 win.

The squad will have wished for a similar journey this Saturday, but they will, however, be embarking on a mammoth journey to Cornwall. He added “We’re getting the coach to St Austell at 9am on Friday morning and we won’t be coming back until Sunday.

“Hopefully we can go and win the first leg so that Saturday night will be enjoyable for the lads and for those supporters making the long trip home.”

Tickets for the home leg of the semi-final have completely sold out.

The number of games to reach the final are falling, but expectations of a cup triumph are increasing.

At 45 years old, David Breed has accomplished what many can only dream of.

The internationally acclaimed martial arts instructor has established a glittering reputation across a 30 year period.

And despite staking his claim in the age-old sport, David – who won a gold medal at the Wako Championships in 1996 – has decided to take his talents elsewhere.

Having opened Evade Martial Arts Centre in 1997, David, surrounded by his army of world class instructors, has served the community for 18 years.

But the time came in March to seek pastures new, and the team made the switch to Glossop Town Centre.

Detailing the reasons behind the transition, David told Reporter Sport “We were based in Hadfield from 1997 but decided to move for several reasons.

“The new building is based above Costa Coffee on Railway Street and is more suitably placed than the Wooley Bridge site.”

Despite harnessing a laudable reputation, David insists you have to start somewhere. He added “I believe people have an impression of martial arts before they actually try it.

“There are a huge number of people who come to the lessons and experience something a lot different than they originally expected, and the more people that get involved with us -regardless of ability – the better.”

In order to reach the top of the sport, David had to overcome some pretty difficult times.

As a pupil in school, the youngster suffered from self-esteem issues, but martial arts offered the answer to his problems. “I didn’t originally get into the sport to compete; I got into it because I was having difficulty at school” he said.

“I had self-as teem issues and grew up very shy, and found that anything to do with conflict scared the pants off me.

“I was about 11 years old when my parents started to do martial arts, and I begged to go with them, because I thought it was going to be the solution to my dreams.”

David had to wait until he was thirteen years old before he competed in his first match, and the daunting experience will live with him forever.

Reminiscing about his youthful naivety, David added “My parents decided to go to a place in Ashton which catered for Tai Boxing and Taekwondo.

“I started to train both styles and developed a lot of friends down there.

“My instructor put me in my first match at Oldham when I was 13 years old, and to be honest, I was scared to death.”

The prospect of competing terrified David.

However, the thought of failing appeared to scare him more. He said “I felt it was something I had to overcome, because my instructor believed in me and I didn’t want to let him down.

“I ended up winning my first match against a Tai boxer in Oldham against a very well know school, and I think I won because I was so nervous and didn’t want to embarrass myself.”

The memorable victory appeared to facilitate a long and healthy career.

Amongst a number of personal achievements, David won the SHORAI national kickboxing title before claiming a gold medal at the Kick Ju Jitsu World Championships in 1998.

As the founding father of Evade, David takes pride in what he has created.

The new facility boasts an array of top class equipment, including a fitness suit tailored to the individual’s needs. He added “First and foremost, we’re a martial arts school.

“We had a lot of members paying premium prices at other gyms and weren’t even going, so I decided to implement a fitness suite to complement the martial arts training.

“Since we opened in March, we’ve had a nice influx of people coming through the doors.”

Without doubt, David has enjoyed a thriving career.

However, in his eyes, nothing compares to helping other people. “If you don’t believe in yourself and don’t believe you’ve got any value, then you’re going to have a difficult life and attract negativity and nonsense” he said.

“We’ve seen children and adults come into the classes who have low self-esteem, but they’ve grown in confidence and changed themselves.

“Martial arts is about channelling and focus, and I want to share the benefits of martial arts, hence why I’m still here after all these years.”

Although David trains top cliental – which includes famous media and football stars – the key philosophy stays in Glossop. He concluded “The key is to get established in the new place, build up the team, develop the instructor’s experience and in time, open up and branch out.”

The RSPCA is warning pet owners to be vigilant after a spate of horrific attacks on cats across the region.

The pets have been tortured, skinned, had all or part of their tales chopped off and some have been killed following the sickeningly cruel attacks.

Animals in Tameside, Glossop and Oldham have fallen victim, some having their backs and necks broken.

It is not known if the same person is responsible or if news of the attacks has spawned other copycat incidents.

A spokesperson for the RSPCA said: “We do not want to alarm people, but owners should be vigilant.”

Transport Minister Patrick McLoughlin has confirmed plans to explore the possibility of tunnels under the Peak District.

He said the rail and road study would look into the technical feasibility, benefits and impacts of constructing a tunnel that would link Manchester and Sheffield.

Stalybridge and Hyde MP Jonathan  Reynolds and Glossop MP Andrew Bingham have welcomed the move but say any tunnel plans must be in addition to the Mottram Bypass announced before the election.

Full story in this week’s Tameside Reporter and Glossop Chronicle.

A Stalybridge pub has ‘clubbed’ together with a Glossop-based charity in a bid to raise thousands of pounds for families across the country.

For the Q Inn has teamed up with
Mummy’s Star in order to help women and their families affected by
cancer during pregnancy.

The unique charity Golf and Music Fun Day comes after the landlady of the Market Street pub heard about the charity through a friend suffering from cancer.

So in partnership, the charity and pub are now hosting a golfing day followed by a music extravaganza which will see acts such as Johnny Harper, Transit and Dale Murphy all perform with one hour slots.

Following the Golfing Day at Ashton Golf Course, the Music, BBQ and Hog Roast Showcase will run from 2pm until 9pm, while from 7.30pm until 10.30pm there will be indoor entertainment from Plug In and Play.

In return for a £1 entry you will receive a Mummy’s Star wristband.

Full report and more details in this week’s Tameside Reporter and Glossop Chronicle.

Video footage of this year’s Tour of Tameside, which returned to the borough for the first time in more than a decade this year, has now been posted live on YouTube.

Around 1,000 athletes took part in the three day event staged across Stalybridge, Hyde and Glossopdale in June and participants can now enjoy the Tour from the comfort of their computer screens.

You can find the link for Stage 1 of the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4K5kUdQxT4&feature=youtu.be

Further links for Stages 2 and 3 will follow soon.

Plans for next year’s Tour, with the possibility of an added fourth day of running, are already being planned.

A charge of dangerous driving against a tow truck driver involved in a serious accident in Glossop town centre has been dismissed at crown court.

The driver, Michael Paul Bowcock, of The Glen, Middleton, Manchester, still faces two other charges, but these will now return to the magistrates’ court and will be heard alongside charges brought against the operator.

The 45-year-old had pleaded not guilty to using a DAF recovery truck with a defective braking system and failing to secure the single decker bus he was towing at an earlier hearing.

GM Recovery Ltd, based on the Froxmer Street Industrial Estate, Manchester, deny two charges relating to the brakes and insecure load.

The case against the operators was adjourned until September 16 when it is expected a trial for both them and the driver will be set.

The accident in the centre of Glossop in May last year, saw shops and buildings damaged.

Tameside Hospital has become the first in the north and only the fourth in the country to appoint a dedicated ‘Admiral Nurse’.

The role has gone to award- winning nurse Pam Kehoe, who will provide both health care and social support to sufferers of dementia and their families.

At an event to celebrate the appointment this week, the hospital Chief Executive Karen James, Chief Admiral Nurse and Chief Executive of Dementia UK Hilda Hayo, Denton and Reddish MP Andrew Gwynne and Pam all made brief speeches, along with Lisa Evans from Audenshaw, who presented Karen with a cheque for £400 to Tameside Admiral Nurses.

The move is all thanks to  Lisa, who cares for her mother who has Alzheimer’s, and who took her complaints regarding her care all the way to the top.

Glossop born acoustic duo Maybe Frank has quit their day jobs to pursue their music full time. Ahead of their appearance at the Mottram Show, we met up with members Josh Wood, aged-23, and Sam Winterbottom, aged-24, to find out more about the guys behind the guitars…

How did you both meet?

Josh (J): When we were 12, and we hated each other but our mums were friends so they made us be mates as well. We’ve regretted it every day since.

Sam (S): We did amateur dramatics in Mossley every weekend for years and ended up going to the same college together doing musical theatre and half-way through we realised that we absolutely hated it.

So when did you decide to get involved in music?

S: Josh was involved with a cover band in college called Silhouette (which sounds like a girls dance troop) which I tagged along with at first, and then we eventually decided that we wanted to do original material.

J: It started really because we were getting bored. So we were just jamming and writing and I don’t think we thought we were actually doing it until after our first couple of gigs.

S: We’ve always sang, but writing songs was a different experience. You can be a guitarist and play guitar, and you can be a singer and sing – but to write music as well, it’s a completely different skill.

What would be your dream gig?

S: Next year I want us to do a set at Glastonbury, not on one of the big stages because that is a big thing to ask but I honestly believe we could do it.

How are you managing, money-wise, on being full-time musicians?

J: It’s been fine, in a way this is actually the most money I’ve had because we get a lot of things paid for. We have never lived the life of luxury; we live like homeless people most of the time.

S: He’s right we have about seven t-shirts and seven pairs of boxers; and that’s between the two of us.

What are your motivations/inspirations?

S: One of our main inspirations is definitely John Mayer, we watched him in London last year. If we could get the chance to support him that would just be mad.

J: The way I see it, if there is something you really want, and you keep pushing it thinking it is going to happen, you will always be happy. Even when I’m 90, if I get to 90, there won’t be any doubt and you are always going to be motivated then.

Where do you see yourselves in five years?

J: Honestly? I see us being big; I can see us doing world tours.

S: Every time I drive past the O2 Apollo in Manchester I think: ‘We are going to headline that one day’ – and I think we have to think like that otherwise there is no point or no motivation behind what we’re doing.

Maybe Frank: Four things we’ve learned

• Sam loves astronomy and is a self-professed ‘space geek’
• Josh was planning on going to University in September, but decided to pursue Maybe Frank instead
• Sam was an actor before Maybe Frank, his last job was at The Globe in London
• Josh loves reading, his favourite author is Alan Watts

Today is A-Level results day with students at schools and colleges receiving their results this morning.

Although many were celebrating making the grade, for students who didn’t get the results they hoped for, the main message this year is ‘don’t panic’!

Regardless of the results too, there are still difficult decisions to take about the next steps to that dream career. You can tune into tonight’s Reporter Show on Tameside Radio 103.6FM for help and advice on the best steps to take having received those all important results!

Watch this space too for all the results from our local schools and colleges as they come in.

Top tips for A-Level students

Nick Davy from the Association of Colleges, offers students his top tips on how to handle A Level exam results day today and the important decisions that follow:

• Confirm your place: Once you’ve received those all-important results in UCAS Track, make sure you contact the college or university to confirm your place.

• Seek out advice: If you haven’t quite got the grades you wanted, don’t panic! There will be more places on offer this year. Talk to your local college and ask for advice about all the options out there or get into the clearing system. You may be able to re-sit exams or find a different university or course which is suitable for you.

• Be clear about clearing: Even if you’ve got the grades you want, you can still go through clearing to go to a different university or college. If you’re going through clearing, make sure you have everything you need – namely, a telephone, a clearing guide (use the UCAS website or there will be one in most newspapers) and a notebook and pen. You’ll need them for calling universities and colleges to find out what is on offer depending on your grades. If you have grades above your firm offer you can use UCAS Adjustment to trade up to another course/university-college.

• Consider all the options: If you’ve changed your mind about taking the route to university, investigate your local college. They offer technical and professional qualifications at a range of levels such as BTECs, NVQs, City and Guilds and also Foundation Degrees or Higher National Diplomas, for example. These qualifications often include working directly with employers on placements so it is an excellent experience.

• Research apprenticeships: If you’re looking for a higher education opportunity but without the university tuition fees, it may be possible to find a Higher Apprenticeship. This is a great way to study for a degree level qualification whilst working in a real workplace environment. Many local and national companies now offer apprenticeships. Colleges can help you find the right one for you and you can search for apprenticeships at www.gov.uk/apply-apprenticeship

• And finally, don’t get disheartened. Whether you have received the grades you wanted or not, there is something out there that is right for you and will help to get you on your chosen career path. Don’t panic, look at all your options, do your research and get advice from reliable sources such as careers advisers. There’s also the option of taking a gap year and maybe getting some work experience before going on to further study.

Nick Davy is Higher Education Policy Manager at the Association of Colleges (AoC) which is the membership organisation for colleges in England.

He concludes: “This may seem like a really scary time as you are moving on to something new and unfamiliar. Think carefully about what you want to do, stay calm and make sure you have access to information about all the options available to you, you’ll be able to make the best decision for your future.”

Volunteers have been praised for the part they play in ensuring Healthwatch Tameside can deliver its services.

Named volunteers were presented with certificates at the recent local Healthwatch AGM by chair Dr Kailash Chand, OBE, and the Civic Mayor of Tameside Cllr Vincent Ricci.

Recognising the valuable input from volunteers, Dr Chand said Healthwatch had undertaken tremendous work over the last two years.

That work, and Healthwatch Tameside itself, would not exist he said without the support of volunteers.

A globetrotting Glossopdale  footballer has been left in a critical condition in a Thailand hospital after being struck down by a rare disease.

John Barber from Heath Road, Glossop,  was on a cross-countries trip to Australia when he contracted encephalitis, which causes inflammation to the brain.

It’s left the popular 24-year-old in a two-week long coma with his
family at his bedside.

Back home in Gamesley –  8,450 miles away – friends Peter Baker and Andy  Heath are doing all they can to help, including raising money for his rehabilitation  and are holding a family fun fund-
raiser for all  at the Bluebell pub in Gamesley, on Sunday, August 30,  from 2pm.

To  make donations or find out more about the event, contact Peter on 07712 337821 or Andy on 07540 319922.

• Twenty people were killed in a bomb blast a mile from John’s
hospital  on Monday. He is safe.

St Philip Howard Catholic School GCSE Results 2015
