Coriander, Chorlton opened it’s doors for the first time on June 5^th 2013.

Owner, Matin Abdul opened Coriander, Chorlton in 2004 after developing his unique concept – great tasting, traditional Bengali and Indian food without all the harmful colourings, testing salts and MSG used in almost all Asian restaurants across the globe.

Some of the dishes on Corianders menu have been tested and refined over one hundred times to ensure each dish tastes just right, even without artificial colouring and MSG which enhance the flavour and appearance of a dish but are harmful to our bodies. In fact, artificial colourings cannot be digested by the human body at all and this is often the cause of the unwanted after effects we associate with eating curry.

After the success of Coriander Chorlton, Matin opened his second restaurant in neighbouring village Withington in 2010 which has since established itself as one of the best local restaurants winning a Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence and a ‘Festival of Curry award’ from the House of Commons.

Coriander’s has now opened it’s third restaurant located near Chorlton Bus Station on Barlow Moor Road. The new restaurant can accommodate up to eighty guests and is now taking bookings.

To make a reservation, please call 0161 881 0340 or 07508447047.

12 Voices for Change in Wythenshawe – deadline for applications – 5.00pm Wed 12th June

We need 12 people for the following community meeting.

Remember – this isn’t an Open Meeting only 12 people will be chosen to participate

This summer’s four 5k runs in Wythenshawe Park, South Manchester, famously known as the Ronhill Sale Sizzlers, have a distinct Olympic atmosphere about them.  Eight former Olympians spanning 10 Olympic Games and 50 years will be attending one or more of them. The runs are for all abilities with everyone welcome to take part.

Olympian marathon legend  Ron Hill (Tokyo ’64 and Munich ’72), Alan Blinston  (5000m  Mexico ’68),  Jeff Norman (Marathon Montreal ’76), Michelle Scutt (4 x 400m Moscow ’80), Susan Crehan (Marathon Seoul ’88), Diane Modahl (800m Seoul ’88, Barcelona ’92, Atlanta ’96 and Sydney ’00), Ann Griffith (1500m Barcelona ’92) and Stuart Stokes ( 3000m S/C London 2012) will attend one of more of the very popular events to encourage greater health and fitness among Manchester communities.

This year’s 5k series are expected to be the most popular ever with over 500 locals of all abilities taking part.  The final event on August 15 will also incorporate the Northern 5k Road championships with many of the region’s top runners turning out.

Established in 2002 after the Manchester Commonwealth Games, and promoted by Sale Harriers, the four 5k runs for all abilities, was established with the aim of encouraging the people of Manchester to get fit and be healthier.

Race Organiser Fechin McCormick of Sale Harriers said: “It’s through events like these that we can ensure the legacy of the London 2012 Olympics lives on. Many Manchester people took part in the Gt. Manchester 10k or ran a “Race for Life” for charity but then there’s not much else left for them to take part in. These four evening runs give new runners the opportunity to get fitter and faster and be involved in sport.

 “With the support of some of our greatest former Olympians I hope that the people of Manchester are inspired to take part and make again this year and make them the best yet. I encourage everyone to come along.”

The four runs are on Thursday evenings at 7.30 0n July 4^th, July 18^th, August 1^st and August 15^th. For more information and entry forms log onto www.saleharriersmanchester.com or telephone organiser Fechin Mc Cormick on 0161 972 5715

Snuggles is a grey-coloured, medium-sized Yorkie who may be wearing a pink collar.
As you can see from the picture, she’s recently had her fur trimmed.

She went on the run with another family dog, Princess, on Thursday [30 May] after a gate at her home may have been left open, says owner Danielle Mitchell, a 24–year-old care assistant from Tranby Close, Crossacres.

Danielle has been leading the search by her family and friends in Crossacres, Peel Hall
and Gatley.

Princess was found safe and well in a garden in Gatley on Thursday – just hours after she
escaped – after a frantic search by family members.

The search for Snuggles, who is still missing, goes on.

Snuggles was last seen near Peel Hall shops and Hollyhedge Park.

Please look in your garden and your sheds. If you have taken Snuggles in, know
where she is, or can report a sighting of her, Danielle and her family want to hear
from you.  Please call: 07908 627 118  or 07432 817 757.

Manchester turned red as United’s victory parade celebrated a record 20th league title. It was also retiring manager Sir Alex Ferguson’s farewell that the city that he has put right at the centre of the world’s footballing map.

Paul Scholes is not one for the limelight, but he will be waving goodbye to fans for the last time after deciding to hang up his boots.

The parade began with a send-off event at the stadium at 6pm before leaving Sir Matt Busby Way half an hour later and travelling a 2.5-mile route to Manchester town hall.

With 20,000 fans packed into Sir Matt Busby Way, roads had to be closed prior to the Red Devils’ departure. And whilst there was space along the main route into the city centre, once the bus headed down the main shopping area, Deansgate, supporters found a variety of vantage points to see the team drive past.

Rio Ferdinand and Ashley Young, who at times ditched the crutches he is supposed to be using to nurse an ankle injury that has ended his season, led the singing, with Ferguson also joining in, and even forced Paul Scholes onto centre stage for a rare interview.

The title-winning squad travelled along Chester Road and Deansgate in a custom-designed double decker bus bearing a ‘Champions 2013’ logo.

In Albert Square came the true party. The Courteeners, Status Quo and the obligatory ‘We are the Champions’ ensured this would be a celebration right to the end.

The celebrations culminated with a 20-minute appearance from the Premier League champions in front of thousands of fans in the square.

Ferguson’s career deserved nothing less.

He came along and grasped the challenge of waking United from their slumber with both hands.  And yesterday he had the city in his palm.
