Last week I was invited to give a talk about RedShift to the Haughton Faddiley & District Women’s Institute who meet at the Goodwill Hall on the second Tuesday of each month. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the ladies and finding out about their club.
#SpringCommunityExpo18
We have been putting the finishing touches to the schedule for our Spring Community Expo at Rookery Hall on Thursday 19 April. We’ve introduced a later start and finish (11.30 am - 5.30pm) which will hopefully allow for people to work in the morning and then join us in the afternoon for a few hours.
Also new this time are our panel discussions, one called “Commercial and Community: Working Together” and the other called “Business Essentials” which will help anyone starting up, or already in business. We have our usual Speed Networking, Exhibitors and Keynote Speakers. The event is sponsored by Hibberts Solicitors and Rookery Hall who are once again providing a super buffet lunch. Delegate tickets are just £15 and available from our website under the RedShift Events section.
RedShift Annual Quiz: Fri 23 March
Our Annual Quiz THIS FRIDAY is at Nantwich Town FC. We are raising funds to buy ourselves some new football commentary kit and run training course for new commentators over the summer. As always, our fabulous quiz master Paul Boniface has put together a super quiz with our signature “live” music round. We have space for four more teams, so please call 01270 440 750 if you would like to join us.
I spent the latter half of the week down in Surrey visiting old haunts and catching up with friends ahead of my wedding in May, so as I have been away, I thought I would ask a couple of RedShifters to share with me some of their local “Out and About” activities this week.
Crewe Gang Show
Firstly, Kelly-Ann Davies, our Wellbeing Weekly presenter and longtime volunteer who has been very involved with the Crewe Gang Show and local Scouts for a number of years. Here’s what Kell had to say about the impending 80th anniversary of this vibrant, dynamic and creative showcase of local young talent ...
“From 2 - 5 May, over 100 children, teens and adults take to the Lyceum Theatre to stage the fabulously entertaining Crewe Gang Show.
supercar, blast,
The cast of Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Leaders is a polished and professional show with lots of laughs, and a few tears. There will be well-known songs, brilliantly choreographed dances and hilarious sketches.
The Gang Show is a nationally recognised Scouting event and Crewe has had its own Gang show since 1938. It is produced, promoted and performed completely by volunteers - just as Scouting is - and dozens of people have given their time to create something memorable for audiences and the youngsters involved.
It really is something special to be part of ‘The Gang’ and you can see this on the faces of the performers. Support from the community for this very special 80th Anniversary is encouraged in the form of sponsorship, raffle prizes and above all, audience participation! Please do book your seats by contacting the Crewe Lyceum Box Office on 01270 368 242 or book online via crewelyceum.co.uk.”
Review: DriveMe SuperCar BlastOur second contributor this week is 12 year old presenter of Musical Monday, Daniel Achterhuis
who is not only carving himself a career in radio broadcasting with his cousin Ben Davies, but also as a supercar driver or commentator. Here’s Dan's report on his DriveMe Supercar Blast.

| Dan Achterhuis presenting at RedShift |
“After winning a Facebook competition with DriveMe, yesterday I finally got a chance to drive six sensational supercars!
As I arrived, I could hear the aggressive roar of the engines and see the mile-long circuit infested with dream supercars. One of DriveMe’s flagship cars and my dream car is the Lamborghini Huracán!
I got to drive it and WOW does it go fast! Much to my parents' horror, I got up to 90mph in falling snow! While I was in the very-American Mustang, snow started to fall fast, but I still managed to get up to 70mph and I’m still alive to tell the tale! All in all, the day was a dream come true and I can recommend DriveMe to any Automotive Enthusiast …
So there we have it, I never would imagine myself being able to give a review of a SuperCar drive in my Out and About! Thank you very much to Kell and Dan for your contributions this week.
