Popular Worker Retires

Malew Commissioners gave Kenny Walton a fine send off at The Whitestone in Ballasalla. Mr Walton retired after 14 years of service to the parish as a foreman, refuse loader and general worker. Kenny is a keen gardener and did much to enhance the appearance of the parish through his planting, particularly in areas such as the commissioner's car park, where his work resulted in a very colourful display. The Janet's Corner resident said now he has retired he was looking forward to spending more time in his own garden. Barry Powell, Malew Commissioners' Clerk said 'He was a very valued member of staff, he was very constructive and reliable and was a great asset to the commissioners and also well liked by fellow staff members and ratepayers. They always had a good word to say about him.

Centenary Celebration of Ballasalla Village Hall

Malew Commissioners are very pleased wih the positive feedback that has been received following the exhibition held during Manx week at the Village Hall. The event was well attended with an estimated 300 plus people visiting.

A big thank you is sent to all those who contributed material for the exhibition and those who gave up their valuable time to help set up and run the exhibition.

 

It is hoped that the gathering of photographs will not stop now that this exhibition is over and that if anyone has pictures that are of interest, please still contact The Clerk who can then make copies for future exhibitions.

MALEW Commissioners organised a very successful Manx tay and concert on July 11, as part of Manx Week celebrations. President of Tynwald Noel Cringle compered an evening of entertainment that included Hugh Jackson reading Manx dialect poetry, Dorothy Faragher reading Manx poetry and Barry Powell and Robert Cowley on electro-acoustic guitars.

Granville Christie gave a vocal solo performance, there was a keyboard solo by Geoff Quine, and then Geoff and Granville accompanied a sing-a-long.

Thanks went to the ladies who prepared the tea – Joyce Young, Elin Kelly, Thelma Cain, Catherine Bridson, Alison Hay and Donna Caley.

The evening raised £300 for the Malew Endowment Committee and this will go on fuel vouchers to be distributed to the elderly in the parish to subsidise their fuel bills in the winter.
