The next Big Event
NO, it is not the General Election, it is the 'Bark in the Park' in Croxteth Hall & Country Park on 17 April from 11am to 4pm.
'Bark in the Park' is a great day out for dog lovers! The show started up a few years ago to promote responsible dog ownership through a fun dog show and displays and has grown into a very popular annual event.
The show features a demonstration of dog training, obedience and agility by the West Lancs Dog Display Team. The team is drawn from people that have learnt how to train their dogs at the West Lancs Canine Centre and as a consequence has dogs of all sizes and types, from pugs to poodles to collies to crossbreeds (and their owners are pretty varied too!).
Anyone can bring their dog along to take part in the fun dog show. Perhaps you have the pooch with the loveliest eyes? Or do you and your dog have the best 6 legs?! There are about 10 different fun classes you can enter.
New to the event this year will be a small static display of Landrovers from the keen petrolheads of the Liverpool Landrover Owners Club.
Topping up the show will be a selection of Famers Market stalls selling the best of local produce and a children's funfair too.
The event has been kindly sponsored by Myerscough College from their Centre at Croxteth Country Park.
Entry to the event is free, with a small charge for entering the show classes.
Birkenhead's eye on World Health Day
A LOCAL opticians is putting health in the frame by urging parents to keep a close eye on their children's sight, as well as their own with this week. The advice is in support of World Health Day's 2005 'Healthy Mother and Child' theme, which is celebrated on 7 April. Co-ordinated by the World Health Organisation, the aim this year is to highlight the importance of keeping mothers and children healthy around the world.
Specsavers Opticians in Birkenhead wants to emphasise the importance of eyecare to adults and children across the Wirral by highlighting the impact poor vision can have on a child's ability to read, write and spell and the detrimental effect factors such as diabetes, smoking and even age can have on adults eyesight.
Shane Canning, principle optometrist and nutritional advisor, says:-
"We think this year's World Health Day theme is the perfect opportunity to highlight the importance of children's eyecare and to remind parents they need to take care of their eyesight too.
In the UK, children's eyecare is free with an NHS voucher for under-16s and under-18s who are still in full-time education. During the first 12 years of our lives, as much as 80% of learning is achieved through our eyes; yet recent figures suggest one in every four children has an undetected sight problem that may inhibit their progress.
All adults are at risk of developing a range of eye-related conditions, such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. Obvious health issues, such as diabetes and smoking, can also have direct effects on the health of a person's
eyes."

Baroque Classics and Rousing Tchaicovsky at Parr Hall
CLASICAL music fans will be treated to a feast of 'popular Baroque classics and rousing Tchaikovsky' when the Northern Chamber Orchestra makes its Warrington debut this month.
The concert at Parr Hall on 29 Apr kicks off with Vivaldi's 'Alla Rustica'. Influenced by the Lombardy countryside Vivaldi composed several pieces with pastoral themes and this Sinfonia has all the brilliant trademarks recognisable from The Four Seasons.
From a few years earlier comes another favourite - Pachelbel's haunting Canon.
We then hear the first Russian contrast, Tchaikovsky's Incidental music from Hamlet written in 1891 for a production of Hamlet in St Petersburg and depicting a somewhat reflective mood of the tragic hero.
The Concerto for Two Violins by Bach shows off the formidable talent of its two leading violinists, Nicholas Ward and Julia Hanson. The two rhythmic outer movements surround the jewel of the sublime slow movement, another top ten Baroque classic!
The finale is Tchaikovsky's stirring Serenade; a work full of contrasts and beautiful Russian melodies.
The Northern Chamber Orchestra, formed in 1967, has gained an enviable reputation providing engaging and exciting concerts throughout the North West. Playing without a conductor, the ensemble tackles an extraordinary range of repertoire from Corelli to Stravinsky and beyond.
The members of the orchestra are distinguished chamber musicians who play as principals with other orchestras and regularly appear as soloists.
To get your ticket, call Pyramid Box Office on 01925 442345 or pop in to the centre on Palmyra Square South.
