Time Travellers
touch down at Spaceport
A new exhibition showing
replica Doctor Who costume characters ranging from the 1970's up to
the present day will launch at Spaceport on 4 May 2013.
The Time Travellers exhibition, in association with Hyde
Fundraisers, features favourites including life size Daleks,
Cybermen, a TARDIS display, a Sontaran and K9 – plus prop weapons and
an activity area.
Spaceport, based at Seacombe Ferry Terminal in Wirral, hosts the
spectacular exhibition throughout the summer, giving sci-fi fans a
unique opportunity to experience the creative talents of Hyde
Fundraisers in bringing some of the most iconic sci-fi characters to
life.
Councillor Liam Robinson, Chair of Merseytravel, which owns and
operates Spaceport, said:- "Spaceport is the ideal home for
this exciting new exhibit, which ideally compliments the fascinating
factual displays about the Moon, our Solar System and the history of
space exploration at Spaceport and we hope that people enjoy this
new addition to our attraction."
Wayne Broughton, Secretary from Hyde Fundraisers added:- "This
is our biggest exhibition to date and our dedicated team are
delighted to be able to exhibit at Spaceport."
Hyde Fundraisers are a voluntary organisation who create replica
characters from DR WHO, STAR WARS and other sci-fi programmes to
raise funds for BBC Children In Need and other charities.
New exhibits will be joining the display throughout the duration of
the exhibition including a scary Weeping Angel and the very latest
version of The Daleks!
The exhibition runs from 4 May, until 1 September 2013.

Bowling for Bowels A
Southport crown green bowling club is looking for people to take
part in a special Bowl for Bowels fundraising over June 2013.
Members of the Victoria Park Bowling Club in association with the
South West U3A Network are organising a prize charity bowls
competition on Thursday, 20 June 2013, starting at 1.30PM in aid of Beating
Bowel Cancer. Entry £2 a head.
Beating Bowel Cancer works to save lives from the UK's second
biggest cancer killer and all money raised from this fundraising
event will be used to help raise awareness of bowel cancer and
support patients and their families coping with the disease.
Event organiser, Ted Morrell, said:- "Members of both Victoria
Park Bowling Club, Southport and the 12 local U3A Groups welcome
this opportunity to help Beating Bowel Cancer achieve its aims. We
hope for nice weather and a good turn out of players and
spectators."
Community fundraiser, Rachel Thomas, said:- "Bowel cancer is a
disease which affects so many people in the UK and all money raised
at this event will be used to help raise awareness of bowel cancer
and support patients and their families coping with the disease."
Bowel cancer is the UK's second biggest cancer killer because many
patients are diagnosed too late. Each year more than 41,000 people
across the UK are diagnosed with bowel cancer. However, if diagnosed
early over 90% of cases could be cured.
Anyone interested in taking part can contact Mr Morrell on:- 01704
574669 or via
email.
