East Cheshire National Trust Association next meeting 13th October

The East Cheshire National Trust Association has been providing a wide annual programme of events and holidays since 1986. These events for around 200 members allow them to raise money to support the work of the National Trust at local properties including Lyme and Quarry Bank.

They run a full and varied annual programme of Outings, Talks, Walks, Holidays, and special events such as lunches for the benefit of around 200 members.

Talks are on a Tuesday once a month from September to June at 2.00pm at the Brookdale Club, Bridge Lane, Bramhall, Stockport, SK7 3AB.

The next meeting is the on Tuesday 13th October 2026 with a Talk by David Seddon called Escapism and Nonsense

Peter started work in the Path Lab in the 1970s. He retired, came back for 3 days and now still works 2 days a week in the Blood Transfusion Laboratory.

Peter’s talk is mainly about all the amusing things that have happened to him over the years. Nowadays none of these things would ever happen, but at the time about which Peter will talk there were none of the present health and safety regulations in place.

This is a light-hearted and humorous talk about a serious subject. Pathology laboratories play a crucial role in healthcare by providing essential diagnostic information for doctors. They also have an important role in preparing for blood transfusions. Peter’s talk will therefore be informative as well as humorous.

Homebuyers offered chance to make a quick move to a new home in Poynton in September

EVENTS are being held near Stockport to help homeowners climb the housing ladder – with the chance to move in a matter of weeks.

Elan Homes is offering part exchange on selected new homes and is hosting events at Hazelfields in Poynton and St Marks Pavilion in Woodley over the weekends of September 5-6 and September 19-20 to guide buyers through the scheme.

There’s even the chance to move to an energy efficient new home before the colder, darker nights set in.

Elan regional sales and marketing director Marie Morris said: “Timing is everything when it comes to buying and selling property. There’s often a back to school boom in the housing market, with people listing post-holiday and keen to move before temperatures start to drop and be settled in for the festive season. The reality for many is that they could still be months away from moving if they sell the traditional way via an agent. It’s likely to be weeks before they receive an acceptable offer and then it could be around 100 days until they exchange contracts.

“We understand that time is precious and want to give homeowners the power to move quickly and simply with the offer of part exchange. We’re extending an open invitation to anyone who has a property to sell to attend our part exchange events and learn how we can help them move in a matter of weeks.”

Hazelfields in Poynton offers a diverse range of properties from one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, priced from £249,995, to family homes in a choice of three, four and five-bedroom designs, priced from £499,995.

At St Marks Pavilion, Woodley, Elan is building four and five-bedroom executive family homes, priced from £549,995

With part exchange, Elan will effectively act as a guaranteed cash buyer for the customer’s home. There are no last minute haggles over the price, no complicated chains to delay moving or worse a chain that breaks, and no agent’s fees to pay. Homeowners will even be able to continue living in their existing property until their new home is ready.

Alternatively, EasyMove sees the homebuilder work with a respected agent to sell the customer’s property on the open market, with Elan paying the agent’s fees.

“Part exchange is ideal for homeowners eager to climb the property ladder.” Marie added.

“Other buyers could find that EasyMove offers just that and there’s no link between the properties being bought or sold.”
