TRIPLE MURDER
ANNOUNCED AT ST GEORGES HALL!
FOLLOWING on from the sell-out
success of 2, Murder at St Georges Hall events in 2013, Liverpool's
premier Murder Mystery events company Lovehistory, return to
Liverpool's grandioso St Georges Hall with 3 confirmed events for
2014 on Saturday, 15 February with Crime & Passion: A Victorian
Valentine, Saturday 28 June 2014, with a Dickensian Special and Thursday,
27 November with a Christmas Special and all 3 events are now on
sale.
Lovehistory present the biggest and best fully interactive Murder
Mystery dining experience, set within the grandeur of one of the
City's most famous buildings, 400 guests will be wined and dined and
will bear witness to murders most foul in an evening filled with
deception, intrigue and murder that will leave them baffled.
In true "whodunit" style, guests are encouraged to use their
powers of deduction to piece together the crime, but be warned as
crafty characters will do their best to misguide, deceive and
obscure the truth. Guests will question and interrogate each
character, piecing together the evidence, and eventually name the
person responsible for this most heinous of crimes. It's down to the
guests to catch the killer and decide their fate in this truly
bespoke experience.
Judy McLean director of Lovehistory said:- "These events are
perfect for St George's Hall and very much in keeping with its rich
history. Lovehistory are delighted to be back in 2014 for more
unique and exclusive events".
Alan Smith St George's Hall
Manager said:- "The magnificent stage of St George's Hall play
host to the stunning performance of Lovehistory. A wonderful mood of
nostalgia, excitement, and intrigue is created in the Great Hall as
the actors bring to life for the audience a range of events and
characters who are intertwined in a murder".
The first event takes place around Valentine's Day and the Victorian
era was a romantic time; prosperity fostered the dreams of a happily
ever after, love letters, hearts, cherubs and doves...but what about
the darker side of love and romance in this seemingly lavish era? Lovehistory create a Victorian Valentines Ball like no other, where
in a cruel and dark twist of fate, cupid's arrow carries with it a
more murderous message with real life stories of Victorian crime and
passion.
All characters will represent real life historical figures, from
merchants to labourers, bachelors and debutantes and cold hearted
killers, each of who will do their best to beguile and mislead. Join
the victims and the characters from the past and piece together the
mysterious events of the evening. Look out for twists and turns,
deception and deceit and witness the harsh, brutal and often tragic,
reality of Love and Romance.
In true "whodunit" style, each section of the grand hall will
be named after a much loved fictional detective; Sherlock Holmes,
Inspector Morse, Phillip Marlow, Columbo, Miss Marple, Hercule
Poirot etc. During the course of the evening, guests will be given
clues and are urged to keep their wits about them as this will be an
evening filled with deception, intrigue and…murder most foul.
Lovehistory will ensure that this event is a masterpiece in terms of
Murder Mystery evenings and as the guests enjoy the finery, the food
and drink and experience Liverpool's murderous past with this truly
interactive evening.

Letters to Editor:- "Australian
Elite Visits Merseyside School"
"WE would like to let your
readers know that the Australian Elite Soccer Football Academy has
visited our school earlier this term. Before visiting Range they had
played games against Youth Academies at Everton (drew), Manchester
United (lost), West Bromich Albion (won) and Stoke City (won).
Several of their players are in the New South Wales Football team,
so when they played Range Year 10 football team it was always going
to be a tough match! The game was end to end right from the very
start, with every player giving 100%. In the 2nd half the
Australians took the lead, but not for long and a Tom Croughan goal
made it 1-1. With not long to go Jack Stewart shot one of the best
goals he will ever score into the top corner of the net, which
proved to be the winner! 2-1 to Range in what was a great game! We
would like to thank the Australian Elite Soccer Football Academy for
visiting us and for the fantastic game." Mr Wright, Year 10
Football Team Coach. |

MERSEYSIDE FIRMS
BENEFIT AS GOVERNMENT SETS OUT NEW SUPPORT FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
A Southport firm is encouraging local
businesses to take advantage of new government schemes designed to
help small businesses.
As part of the Government's long term economic plan, and following
the Autumn Statement, Enterprise Minister Matt Hancock is today
setting out the Government's offer to make it easier for small
businesses to grow and create jobs.
Small Business: GREAT Ambition is a commitment to go-getting firms.
It sets out how the Government can make it easier for small
businesses to grow as the country gets behind local traders on Small
Business Saturday.
Firms with fewer than 50 employees play a critical role in the UK
economy. In the North West they represent 52 per cent of private
sector employment, with 477,000 small businesses employing 1.2
million people in the region.
New measures will remove some of the barriers small businesses face,
improve the business environment and make it easier for them to
fulfil their potential.
Today's announcements and commitments
include:-
► Brand new broadband vouchers – 22 cities across the UK,
including Manchester and Salford, will benefit from £100 million of
Broadband vouchers worth up to £3,000 each to help more small firms
boost their business by accessing super-fast broadband.
► A fairer deal on energy - An agreement with the energy firms
to end auto-rollovers for business customers, limit back billing,
increase transparency of contract terms and make switching easier.
► Access to £230 billion of public sector contracts –
Implementing Lord Young's recommendations, which were accepted by
the Prime Minister in May, to make it easier and simpler for small
firms to win public sector business.
► Tackling late payment of small firms – From now on, all small
businesses who supply the public sector in a supply chain will be
paid at the same time as big contractors. And the government will
consult on new measures to tackle late payment in the private
sector.
Adaptive Communication Solutions Ltd in Southport was set up in 2003
by James Brayshaw. From working in the mobile phone industry for a
number of years, James realised there was a big drive to get new
business in but no focus on retaining the business.
AdaptiveComms was set up in 2003 with the aim of building a strong
and successful company with a clear intention of providing high
quality customer service to businesses. The company is a part of the
Goldman Sachs 10,000 small businesses program, which provides high
quality, structured and practically focussed support to small
business leaders who are seeking to grow their businesses.
Company director James Brayshaw said:- "We were pleased to be
able to take part in the government's growth accelerator scheme. We
benefited both from the coaching and the training element, which
gave us as a management team the ability to step away from the
business and really think about working 'on it'."
This follows a substantive package of support in this week's Autumn
Statement for small businesses, which included an extension of the
doubling of Small Business Rate Relief to March 2015, a business
rates discount of up to £1,000 for retail premises with a rateable
value up to £50,000 and making it cheaper to employ staff aged
under-21.
Small businesses will also benefit from an additional £250 million
being made available to the British Business Bank to improve access
to finance, announced by the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and
Business Secretary Vince Cable earlier this week. Also a further
£160 million will allow the successful Start Up Loans scheme to be
extended to more entrepreneurs.
Business Secretary Vince Cable said:- "I meet with small
businesses regularly who tell me about what Government support works
well and what doesn't. Through our commitment to small firms we are
directly addressing that feedback, freeing them from unnecessary
burdens, providing more finance and improving access to advice and
support.
In particular we are tackling the issue of late payment, which can
threaten the survival of otherwise healthy businesses. We are
enforcing prompt payment through the entire public sector and asking
what more we can do to get credit flowing in the private sector."
Enterprise and Skills Minister Matthew Hancock said:- "I'm
delighted that on the national day for small businesses, Small
Business Saturday, we can demonstrate our commitment to making it
easier for small businesses to grow. Small businesses are the
lifeblood of the British economy and responsible for nearly half the
job creation in the UK. That's why we are removing barriers to
growth and supporting them, so that they can create jobs and compete
in the global race."
Small Business - GREAT Ambition sets out how BIS will be the champion
of small business across Government, making it easier for small
businesses to:-
► Finance business growth by creating the right banking and
investment environment and the most supportive tax regime in the
world.
► Hire people by making employment processes more straightforward
and promoting a more skilled workforce.
► Develop new ideas and products by helping businesses get access to
the expertise, equipment and funding they need to turn great ideas
into reality.
► Break into new markets by removing barriers to certain sectors and
providing advice and support for businesses trying to export.
► Get the right support at the right time by making business support
schemes easier to find and more relevant.
► Get on with doing business by making sure regulation and the way
it is enforced is proportionate and pro-growth.
This includes our commitment to making business support easier to
access. We are rationalising the number of different support schemes
and joining them up so that businesses can go to one place to get
the help they need. Business support at local level will also be
brought together through Growth Hubs, providing a single place on
their doorstep where businesses can go to get help.
This sits alongside our new Business is GREAT campaign, which points
businesses to sources of advice and support that can help them grow,
and celebrates small businesses that have grown with the help of
Government support.
Small Business - GREAT Ambition also states that Lord Young will
conduct an Enterprise Education Review and make recommendations on
how to inspire more people with the entrepreneurial spirit needed to
succeed in employment or enterprise. He will report back in summer
2014 on his findings. |
