Delamere Grove Delamere Grove, Eddisbury Hill, Delamere, Nr Northwich, Cheshire, CW8 2JJ
a better way of living
Set in the heart of rural Cheshire, Delamere Grove is a peaceful retirement park nestled on the side of a hill with magnificent views across the Cheshire plain. With only 23 Park Homes, for all year round living, this small park is ideally located within open countryside, yet close to everyday facilities. Delamere village boasts a village store, golf course, church, 2 country pubs and of course the famous Delamere Forest. Bus stops and a mainline train station provide fantastic transport links. The historic towns of Northwich and Frodsham are close by, as is the Roman walled city of Chester.

Tennis news Hoole tennis tournament success HOOLE LTC recently hosted the prestigious annual Hoole LTC Junior and Senior Open Tennis Tournament. The tournament, which was organised and run by the club itself, proved to be a great success with players, parents and spectators alike. Entry numbers were good, with a high number of Hoole LTC members competing alongside highly ranked players from across Britain and even abroad. Parents and spectators were treated to a high level of tennis, as well as good weather and quality homemade refreshments. Players were pleased with
the number of matches they were able to play with Plate Draws being run and bonus matches available. The club would like to thank all competitors, parents, helpers and volunteers for making the tournament such a success and creating the fun and welcoming atmosphere which was enjoyed by all. The full Finals list is below with a special mention given to Hoole LTC members Emily Bolton, Evie Gordon, Maya Williams, Saleem Rizvi, Jamal Rizvi and Nick Greenwood for their achievements through the week.
