1874 Northwich - the club's annual beer festival will take place on Saturday 4th June at Lostock Social Club.
Eleven Barrel sponsors have been secured so far, although the final target is twenty.
Tickets for the Festival are now on sale at local outlets and from 1874's Board members, priced at £5 each.
Padiham - when Aaron Taylor struck home a penalty for the Storks against Bootle last week, it brought up an unusual statistic - it meant that five different Padiham players have scored from the penalty spot this season, more than any other club. Kieron Pickup, Daley Woods, Chris Turner and Gary Hunter have also hit the target from 12 yards while playing for the Storks.
Frank Clayton - last week we published an appeal from Frank, asking for asistance in tracing a programme he needed to complete his collection of all NWCFL Cup final programmes since the league began in 1982.
Within hours of the news item appearing on the website, both Brian Pritchard from Barnton and Dave Bettley from Runcorn Linnets had been in touch to let Frank know that the programme he needed, for the first ever NWCFL Division Two Trophy Final between Great Harwood Town and Bacup Borough in 1989/90, was on sale on eBay.
Frank duly purchased the programme and his collection is now complete. "I have been looking for this programme for over 10 years", he said. "So you can imagine how pleased I am".
Dave said: "As a collector myself, I know just how much pleasure can be gained from unearthing items of interest, and it is extra special when you find something which has been on your wanted list for a long time".
Chadderton - next season sees Chaddy celebrate their 70th anniversary, and the club have begun working on a programme of events to help celebrate the milestone.
Nantwich Town - on Friday 6 May 2016, it will be 10 years since Nantwich Town beat Hillingdon Borough 3-1 at St. Andrews to lift the FA Vase. The Dabbers are one of only four clubs to have done so while members of the NWCFL.
10 years on, the club's Supporters Association are holding a reunion at the Weaver Stadium. NITSA Vice-Chairman and event organiser Ian Garnett said: “Nantwich Town winning the FA Vase was probably the biggest moment in the club’s history to date, and the NTISA are delighted to be able to remember and celebrate the success of Steve Davis and his team’s triumph.
“Every Nantwich fan who witnessed the amazing success will have their own memories of that year as Nantwich wrote the club into Non-league football history, and it’s great that we are able to come together and remember the success.
“I’ve spoken too many of the players who featured in the competition and a lot have said they are coming to the event so it will be a great chance to relive some memories. We are also hoping that the FA Vase itself will be attending the occasion”.
New deal for Danny - Inverness Caledonian Thistle's Danny Williams has signed a pre-contract deal to join Scottish Premiership rivals Dundee next season.
The midfielder, who played for Daisy Hill during season 2007-08 and won the Second Division Player of the Month award on one occasion during his time at New Sirs, has agreed a three-year deal at Dens Park.
Williams, 28, moved to the Highlands in the summer of 2013 from Kendal Town after spells at FC United of Manchester and Clitheroe, and has made 35 appearances this season.
