Cats Protection - Crewe & District (Crewe blog)

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 23:36:00 GMT

When you get an URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT email from the good people at the Cats Protection organisation you know things must be serious. The two Crewe blog cats came from one of their foster homes, young cats that had been abandoned. Pictured above is the big fella - very soft, a bit daft, slow and much like yours truly according to Mrs Crewe blog! T'other moggy ( below) is quick, alert and...

Academy 2-2 Crewe Alexandra (Sportnetwork)

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 18:44:10 GMT

You don't mess with the Railwaymen of Crewe or in this case the Railwaykids. Crewe travelled to Cobham this afternoon to take on The Academy and despite being 2-0 up, came away with a 2-2 draw in the U18s first League game of the season. Crewe Alexandra has always been the 'butt' of people's jokes!!!

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:49:00 GMT

As if you didn't know, the Crewe & Nantwich Festival is under way with stacks of events ongoing across this week. CNBC Mayor Brian Silvester officially opened the festival with a ribbon cutting ceremony over at Nantwich's St Mary's church.

Fun with numbers (Mark Wadsworth)

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 07:50:00 GMT

From an article headed BAE wins £3bn ammunition contract : Colonel David Collins paid tribute to staff at the three plants for the way they had responded to the increased level of operations and training. He said the factory in Crewe last year produced up to a million rifle and machine gun rounds a day, which was "quite a significant achievement". Hmm. There are 8,000 UK troops in Afgh, and...

Nantwich in bloom... (Crewe blog)

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 06:51:00 GMT

We had Crewe flowers last week, so here are a few snaps of the great Nantwich floral displays dotted around the town centre. Having taken a good look at both I'd say that Crewe is on a par with its market town sister. However, it's not hard to see why national judges have always favoured Nantwich as its flowers have historic buildings and a river as a backdrop. Still, I reckon both towns...

Reade crashes into tomorrow's BMX showdown (The Independent)

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:21:46 GMT

When Shanaze Reade crashed and recorded the slowest time in her first seeding race in the women's BMX event today it seemed that the 19-year-old from Crewe might struggle to live up to her status as the favourite.

Come on Shanaze! (Crewe blog)

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 10:20:00 GMT

If you got up early to catch the qualifying rounds of the women's BMX this morning you might have choked on your cornflakes. Crewe girl Shanaze Reade came off her bike! BBC clip here . Someone didn't read the script. It's a fix! Nightmare. Surely things couldn't go wrong? Thankfully, she stormed through the second run with a typically impressive time and will now line up in the semi-final in...

The Clik Clik at the Box (Crewe blog)

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:17:00 GMT

I saw a couple of gigs at The Box back in May as part of the Crewe Live 08 weekend. Quality venue, intimate and yet big-room feel with impressive stage, sound and lighting. This Friday sees up-and-coming band The Clik Clik taking centre stage. They bring their contagious blend of wonky pop, indie, hip-hop and electro to The Box in Crewe on Friday 22 August. The band have won praise from...

Recession edges closer... (Crewe blog)

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 23:54:00 GMT

So many clues, so many businesses struggling, inflation creeping up and up. There really is no disguising the fact that the economy ( national and local ) is on a nasty slide in the wrong direction. Latest indicator is a local arm of a franchise, Floors-2-Go ( Crewe store already removed from their storefinder here ) , formerly off Earle Street near Blockbuster Video and St Peter's Church. Doors...

Well done the headKASE girls (Crewe blog)

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 23:06:00 GMT

We snapped the headKASE salon being refitted last week ( here ) and, courtesy of Dale's snaps, we're delighted to say that the new Crewe salon on Nantwich Road opened on time. We had our doubts, as the girls were still sanding down the paintwork with hours to go! Still, their hard work paid off and they're up and running with a healthy list of bookings already. With plenty of shops and offices...

Need another name idea (Tactical Gamer)

OK, I am part of a loose association of beer drinking misfits, that hangs out at our pool and we want to make up a banner with some wacky name on it for us.. I'll post up the ideas we've come up with so far - but if any of you have any ideas that'd be cool. The age range of the crewe is 32 -...

new kid on the block (Ciara Leeming)

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 20:54:00 GMT

A couple of weeks back I met up with Edward Timpson, new MP for Crewe and Nantwich (Cheshire) for a feature for the Big Issue in the North. Much was made during the by-election campaign earlier this year about Timpson's privileged roots - Labour Party activists waged a toe-curling battle against him clad in top hats and tails. It backfired spectacularly and the Tory overturned a huge Labour

Holland keeping the faith! (Crewe blog)

Thought we'd have a player quiz for today's Alex post. One for the slightly older generation. Any ideas? Otherwise, back to current day, and there have been a couple of set-backs in the league but, according to Crewe Guardian sports reporter Toby Robinson, the Crewe Alexandra gaffer is not starting to panic just yet... . STEVE Holland remains confident his new-look Alex side will make...

Beautiful woodland on Crewe doorstep... (Crewe blog)

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 08:00:00 GMT

We've mentioned Quakers Coppice a few times on Crewe blog . It's one of those little gems that often go unnoticed. Tucked away behind the business park off Crewe Road (map here ) and adjacent to new warehousing units and car dealerships off University Way, this oasis of calm is conveniently situated on the edge of Crewe. You can walk, bike or catch a ( no.20 ) bus to it, there...
