Media City UK has been designed to create a perfect environment for creative and digital businesses in the North of England. The first development phase, spread over 36 acres, is well underway and will be completed in 2011, but Peel Holdings the developers know that there is the potential to utilise up to 200 acres of land over the next decade, depending on the expected success of Media City UK in Manchester.
The much reported move of the BBC studios will bring in around 2,500 staff to MediaCityUK, which will involve relocating five London-based departments, along with all local and network broadcasting, currently operating out of Oxford Road in Manchester city centre. It has recently been announced that The University of Salford will also have a presence at MediaCityUK, with a brand new campus for more than 800 students and staff.
MediaCityUK is already producing top television programming and will house one of the largest high definition studio facilities in Europe, featuring seven HD television studios and two audio studios (one dedicated to the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra).
The developers have designed Media City UK around a public waterfront area twice the size of London’s Trafalgar Square, MediaCityUK will be a city in its own right, complete with bars, cafes and restaurants. The development’s piazza has been designed to accommodate large-scale events for up to 9,000 people, making it a natural focal point both day and night for open air theatre, concerts, markets and exhibitions.

2011 at Hazel Grove Golf Club, Stockport, Cheshire
With just 2 years until the 2013 Centenary Year, the beautiful parkland course at Hazel Grove Golf Club is already considered by many to be ‘the best golf course in Cheshire’.
The skilfully designed Alister MacKenzie course is currently undergoing some fantastic enhancements both on and off the course by the greens team and Centenary Celebrations Fund. This is to ensure that societies and visitors that comes to play the course between now and the Centenary year will certainly want to come back again and experience the full ‘WOW FACTOR’ being planned for 2013.
Already, over 2000 extra bulbs have been planted across the course with more planned, the welcoming Centenary Garden in front of the Swiss chalet style clubhouse has been designed and planted to allow time for all the flowers, shrubs and trees to be fully established by 2013. The new Centenary Clock adjacent to the 1st Tee and all the crossings across the streams on the course have now been replaced with distinctive new wooden bridges, that have all been sponsored by different sections within the club through the Centenary Fund.
Changes are also happening on the fairways with new improved drainage and irrigation channels being installed. Selected bunkers are being removed, others are being enlarged and new sand has been introduced to all traps. Trees and bushes that have matured over the past 10 years and now encroach on to the course are being cut back by the enthusiastic members working party and have created a different approach perspective for many holes. It is also anticipated that new tee furniture and course directional signage will be installed during the summer.
And finally the two main lakes on the course are to have large fountains installed to improve water quality for the local wildlife. 100 bird boxes have also been sponsored by members and put up in the wooded areas across the course to encourage more birds to choose HGGC as their home. And breaking news is advising golfers to look out for the various tree carvings that are scheduled to add a touch of uniqueness to the course.
At HGGC we say there are only two types of golfers in the world “Those that have played The Grove and those that haven’t.” For those golfers that haven’t yet had the privilege, the course is characterised by several natural water hazards. Add to these the planting of a further 6,500 trees over the past decade, to supplement the existing ones and you can understand why members recommend careful course management whatever your handicap.
The course has numerous holes where wide open laying up positions on the fairways look the safest shot, however the challenge is always there to go for it, which creates the test for any golfer on a visit to HGGC. With large true USGA specification greens HGGC is privileged and almost unique locally to offer its members and visitors year round golf on full greens, this is a major attraction for new members and winter societies that often play courses with temporary greens from November to March…..not at The Grove.
To give you a little insight into some of the great characteristics of the course, the par 5 third at stroke index 1, ranks amongst the best holes in Cheshire, while the finest of the par 3's is arguably the eleventh, both for its degree of difficulty and picturesque layout
The Signature Hole: Hole 15, 280 yards: Par 4, SI 18
The lake with its reflective water and gushing fountain dominates the view from the elevated fifteenth tee, sweeping down along the left hand edge of the fairway, across the front and left side of the green. At only 280 yards, this par 4 represents the ultimate risk or reward hole, especially if the match is being closely fought.
From all tee positions the drop down to the green always seems within reach with a well struck drive, but your mind is then reminded of the out of bounds which runs along the right hand edge of the fairway. The decision is yours – “Am I good enough to take on the green and win, or shall I just lay up for a half?”
Equally, the drive and carry needed on the eighteenth finishing hole, with its MacKenzie tiered green and backdrop of the Swiss chalet-style clubhouse ranks with the best on the course.
The 19th Hole is where you can experience the true hospitality and friendly welcome the members, bar and catering staff at Hazel Grove offer all visitors to the club. It’s also great fun to eat, drink and sit with friends and partners on the balcony, looking back over the 18th green and down the fairway musing over what might have been!
The informative http://www.HazelGroveGolfClub.com website has a section that includes seasonal discount vouchers and offers for societies and visitors to play the course.
The captains and members of Hazel Grove Golf Club look forward to you visiting their club and confirming that our course is one of “the best golf clubs in Cheshire.”

Hamlets of Britain - Rage against the postal system
121 Direct Mail believes the Royal Mail press release issued last year regarding the dropping of counties from postal addresses seems to have tugged at our British patriotism again, as millions of Christmas Cards were sent to customers, friends and relatives across the country.
Royal Mail announced it will start to remove more than 100 obsolete postal county names from its database in 2013 – with every county mothballed by 2016.The Royal Mail is removing county names from the official Postcode Address File that is used by thousands of private companies and public bodies, because they are surplus to requirements saying that the postal service now only needs a house number, street name and post code to be able to deliver its mail correctly.
So, on that recommendation if a letter enclosing a large cheque was being sent to you, which address format would you prefer the sender to use to make sure it arrived safely????

For many people in December, Christmas cards are a personal message from me to you and writing the full postal address on a card subconsciously gives you confidence that your card and seasonal message of goodwill will reach its desired recipient.
Since this announcement, many readers’ letters have been received and printed by local newspapers and regional publications frowning upon the loss of Britain’s patriotic identity. One reader of Cheshire Life states “Creating the future by destroying the past means we risk losing our cultural heritage, national identity and our proud traditions. The omission of county names, towns and villages in favour of a dependency on the accuracy of mere postcodes, with a line of house addresses, is so obviously flawed.”
The Yorkshire press and its always opinionated readers were inundated with comments regarding this proposal….
Graham Taylor, former North Yorkshire policeman and vicar turned bestselling novelist “I always write Yorkshire in big capital letters on an address. I’m very proud of where I live. I even, if I remember, put North Riding on. I think breaking up the Ridings was a terrible thing. “Place names are an important part of our identity. I live in Yorkshire – and more people live in Yorkshire than live in Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland.
“England is its shires!” protested author Geoff Dyer.
“I don’t feel British, I feel English and Yorkshire,” added novelist Margaret Drabble, who went to school in York.
The writer and intellectual Howard Jacobson really got to the heart of the matter. “Being born in Lancashire rather than Yorkshire was more than an accident of geography,” he wrote. “It defined our souls.”
Bradford-born Look North presenter Harry Gration, who now lives in York says “I think dropping county names in addresses would just be a further way of eroding our communities. We all live in this place called England – are we going to start calling it UK 22, or Europe Zone 10 or something? That is fine for computers, but people prefer to make it clear that they were born in York and live in the heart of Yorkshire. We don’t live in a postcode.”
Gillian Cruddas, head of York tourism body says “People living in Yorkshire feel very strongly about where they come from. The name of the county is all part and parcel of who we are, and our perception of the place we come from.”
But the real long term question we need to ask is:
How long will it be before we all just become a personal barcode in the postal system? Some people are already putting barcodes on business cards so that phones can photograph them and instantly transfer the contact details onto their system.
The Royal Mail are using an automated barcode reader system already, so why not just issue everyone with some self addressed barcode stickers, have you own barcode created on a mobile phone app that you can scan in at shops so they can mailshot you. It’s only a variation of “Chip & Pin” that we are all happily using these days.
Britain is a proud island and the counties that make up its parts have their own identities, accents, traditions, foods and landscape. One journalist wrote I was born and raised in Herefordshire, a beautifully rural and forgotten county on the edge of Wales. The very name brings back heady childhood memories of sun-filled summer afternoons exploring the old castle mound behind our house, or wading through clear, fast-flowing brooks, searching through the river weed for sticklebacks, minnows and other tiny fish.
Its part of our international heritage, its our souls identity, who would ever want to reply to someone that strikes up a conversation and asks where you are from… and you reply “SK6” How scarey and futuristic would that be?
An online forum post said that as far as they were concerned they understood it made no difference to Royal Mail whether the county was shown in an address, just as long as the postcode was included as well. Also as it wasn’t going to become a criminal offence to include your county - So letter writers of Britain should continue to state where they reside in full and with pride.
