 Welcome to Neston News, your weekly catch-up on stories that currently appear on AboutMyArea CH64. Click here to see the newsletter online (some mail programmes scramble the content). An unusual perspective of Parkgate as our header shot this week, taken from the North Parade car park, courtesy of Karen Davis - great photo. We've launched a new feature this week - 'Local Photos by Neston People'. A new gallery will start on the first of each month, which we will add your photos to. No particular theme or location, just anything that takes your fancy really. If you'd like a photo to be considered for the header in Neston News, it needs to be suitable for 'letterbox' relative dimensions - around 950 pixels wide and up to 350 deep. There's a lot going on over the next week or so in and around Neston. We've got a St Patrick's Day party at Elephant in Parkgate, a Car Boot Sale in Ness, the Sport Relief Mile at the Cricket Club, Neston Flicks presenting 'Suffragette' at the Civic, and lots more. Check out our full What's On guide here. We're putting together our feature on what's on at Easter and in the schools' Spring Break. If you have anything you think should be in there, please do get in touch. Have a great week, Carrie & the AboutMyArea team Tel: 0151 336 2734 / Email: carriespacey@aboutmyarea.co.uk Join the conversation:
