Whaley Water Weekend
New team for 2010
AFTER months of uncertainty about the Whaley Water Weekend (W3), the future of the town's biggest community event has been secured.
New officers and a committee were appointed at the annual general meeting.
Outgoing chairman of W3, Barrie Walker will still be organising the boat trips - last year 800 people took to the water. He said: "We wish the new committee every success. With the support that Whaley Bridge gives to the event, I'm sure it will continue to grow."
• Barry Rudd is an ex-professional soldier and a former resident of
Whaley Bridge. His car electronics business is based in the town. He has always supported local events and his particular interest is live music. He said: "I've always been a fan of the Water Weekend - which I see as the foremost community event which helps foster and maintain the unique village feel of the town."
• Eveline Hughes, W3's new treasurer, is a former member of Goyt Valley Ladies' Circle, the female counterpart of the Round Table. A mother of two sons, she was a PTA member at Whaley Bridge primary school, Taxal and Fernilee primary school and Chapel High School. She is also a member of Whaley Bridge parish Mothers' Union.
The other committee members are: Barrie Walker (boats), James Middleton (fundraising/brochure), Anna Gaskell and Lucy Thomas
