Logan’s Challenge
Rugby legend and TV Strictly Come Dancing star Kenny Logan launches his ambitious ‘People’s Pentathlon’ for charity….with the backing of a team of celebrity pals, including Jodie Kidd, Gethin Jones, Julia Bradbury and fellow rugby great Roger Uttley. Kenny’s twin goal is to help raise Britain’s fitness levels while also raising vital funds for Sparks, the children’s medical research charity where he and his wife Gabby are co-presidents. Kenny’s ‘People’s Pentathlon’, which will be open to individual competitors and teams of 4, will combine classic challenge disciplines like running and cycling and an assault course with Krypton Factor-type mind challenges.
The full ‘Logan’s Challenge’ schedule is 26th September @ Gibside in Newcastle; 3rd October @ Coombre Park in Coventry; 10th October @ Black Country Park in London/Bucks; 17th October @ Heaton Park in Manchester; 24th October @ Strathclyde near Glasgow.

Lonely Weirdos Club.
We are a very mixed bunch of people who, for whatever reason, are seeking new friends and social activities. We meet
every Saturday in the Nexus Cafe, in the Northern Quarter, at 1 O'clock (ish). We generally talk and just see what happens from there, for example sometimes we go book-shopping, to the cinema or to a museum, and sometimes we don't do anything much at all! People are attracted to the group because the eccentric name makes light of the situation they have found themselves in, and how it makes them feel, and it means we all meet on an equal footing. Everyone who comes to the LWC knows definitively they are not alone in finding socializing tough. Anyone is welcome. We are not a Dating group.

Organised by the Stockport and South Manchester Branch of the Campaign for Real Ale, this event will take place at Edgeley Park Football Ground, home of Sale Sharks Rugby Club and Stockport County.
With over a hundred beers, ciders and perries on sale, this promises to be an excellent and enormously entertaining Festival. Whether one comes for the opportunity to enjoy some of the United Kingdom’s finest cask conditioned beers, the music and food or just the lively and exciting atmosphere, it will not be disappointing.
This year’s Festival Special Beer will be brewed by Marble Brewery.
The Friday lunchtime session is free and there is a modest admission charge at the other sessions but all sessions are free to CAMRA members. Why not join and help to maintain and promote high standards of choice and quality and enjoy yourself at the same time. We are likely to see the 900th member joining the branch at the Festival.
To add to the pleasure, there will be live music:
Thursday: Evening 28th May 5.30 – 11.00 p.m. Curragh Sons,
Friday: 29th May, Lunchtime 11.30 – 3.30 p.m. Stockport Cerebral Palsy Society band The Prospectors supported by Drake Music.
Evening 5.30 – 11.00 p.m. Soul Bandits.
Saturday: 30th May 11.30 – 4.00 p.m. Pete Goode, Ye Old Vic Band, Yes Sir.
Evening 6.30 – 11.00 p.m. Casual Ties, Blue Blasters, The Words.
There will be a bar devoted to Ciders and Perries. These are not the tame and tasteless ciders that you buy in off licenses and supermarkets. At a time when a lot of our native apple and pear varieties are disappearing cider making is helping to preserve some varieties that might otherwise be lost.
This year CAMRA are supporting the Stockport Cerebral Palsy Society who will have a stall and will sell additional donated beers, not found elsewhere in the Festival.
The Stockport Pub Guide, Viaducts & Vaults 4, will be launched at the Festival.
