Alsager Council - Question of Right of Way.

It was intimated that the Roads Committee had met General Heath-Caldwell with regard to the footpath leading from Talke Rd to Audley Road.

The footpath had been used only once during the last 15 years and before that time no one seemed to know when it was used.

The right of way had lapsed, and it was left for the Clerk to give his view on the matter.Mr Nelson said that if it were a highway footpath, the right of way could never lapse. It was a maxim of law, "Once a highway, always a highway." On the proposition of Mr Goss, seconded by Mr Ford, it was agreed that the Surveyor by instructed to erect two small stiles to mark the footpath.

Lucas - - - (continues) - - - 

The President - The toast of "The President" was entrusted to Mr J.J. Nelson, who spoke of their excellent landlord, who also happened to be the President of the club. This combination (landlord and President) lessened difficulties and worries with the income tax and rate collectors (laughter). The original club started on lines behind Settle's Hill. This died out, and many members migrated to Barthomley. Afterwards a move was made to meadows near Alsager Rd Station, and then disbandment followed. The present course at Linley was the best they had ever had, and it was one of the best in the district. They felt much indebted to their President, Major-General Heath-Caldwell (Applause.)The President, responding, said the club had not been troubled with the famour horse that once so upset them, and, therefore, he had not had to correspond with Mr Lynam for over a year. (laughter). He was gratified to know of the club's success, and no doubt the game brought Alsager together. He cordially thanked the company for the manner in which the toast had been received. - - - (continues) - - -
