From the Editor Merry Christmas everyone!

This is our first Christmas edition for our new Huthwaite & Sutton and Kirkby & Annesley magazines and you may have noticed we do it a little bit differently at this time of year. At Christmas we do a combined November and December edition which comes out in midNovember…..TA DAH!!!!

You may also have noticed the magazines are continuing to grow! We are so grateful with how well Voice Magazine has been received since our launch in April this year. As a result, we have been able to add new areas, with Annesley becoming part of the Kirkby distribution area. We have also been able to add more content to the magazines and bring you even more of the best local community information and businesses.

We have more plans for the future but we are always very open to your ideas. This is your community magazine after all. One thing we will be focussing on, will be bringing you more features on local community groups and events, so please get in touch if you are involved with such groups. I have had a great response so far but I am always grateful of more, so keep it coming!

So when you are thinking of your next holiday, please get in touch, I can take all the stress out of the process and give you back your precious time.

The Voice Visit to Hilcote Country Club The Voice was kindly invited by Danny Wilkinson of Hilcote Country Club to attend evening dinner on what was a dark, blustery October Friday night to sample their new menu.

Danny and his staff gave us a lovely warm welcome which was especially appreciated considering the conditions outside. To begin with we relaxed with a drink in the spacious bar that was busy but not too crowded, just right really.

After being seated we noted a very warm atmospheric surrounding with a log fire and original wooden beams wrapped with low lighting that also helped us to relax before our eagerly awaited evening meal.

With a good selection of starters that included favourites such as, soup of the day, which was a mouth watering thick and creamy leek and potato, with warm crusty bread and butter, nachos with melted cheese and salsa and also unusually with dash of BBQ sauce, mozzarella with sour cream dip and BBQ chicken wings; we decided to go with selection from all of the above.

Turning our thoughts to our main meals the Voice was pleasantly surprised with the wide choice that was on offer that included a wide range of pub classics from the a la carte menu such as lasagne, surf and turf, homemade pie of the day and chicken skewers with salad and chips.

Also set out was the hot table with the usual

14

carvery selection that included roast beef and roast pork with crackling, and pleasing to see was a fine selection of alternative delicious looking dishes including Aberdeen angus steak and ale pie, pork in pepper sauce, braising steak in red wine & mushroom Sauce and vegetarian curry to mention but a few, all available with a selection of sweet potato fries, fresh vegetables, mash potato and roast potatoes to compliment any meal.

With our stomachs now reaching bursting point we made sure there was just a little room left to sample the range of scrummy looking deserts with the likes of banoffee waffles, chocolate fudge cake, apple pie, cheesecake and chocolate brownie to mention but a few; indeed we couldn’t resist the chocolate fudge cake, waffles and cheesecake which certainly went down well.

To finish off we relaxed with coffees served at our table which brought an end to a lovely evening of food, drink and good service, the Voice would like to thank Danny and his staff for inviting us and showing us such a warm welcome.

Rambles with RafFa lake and

5-mile circular walk from Watchwood via Calverton Colliery and Sansom Wood

We try and pick a particularly good walk for the Christmas edition as we know a lot of you like to take the opportunity to try somewhere different for a special walk at this time of year. We’re no different and have a tradition now of redoing one of the best walks of the year on Christmas Eve, before decamping to a good pub for some nice food and a few drinks with some good company, (furry and human ) This walk is definitely a contender for our Christmas outing. It begins at the Watchwood car park near Gravely Hollow. We head out, via the woods towards the site of the old Calverton Colliery, for some great views as we walk. From here we work back down through Watchwood to cross the A614 and loop back through Sansom Wood before making our way back to the start.

A mid-length walk which should take you and your dog around 2½ hours to complete. There are a couple of roads to walk alongside and cross so please take care, especially crossing the A614. Most of the walk is on paths and trails, so it may be muddy and will require appropriate footwear. And, as always, please follow the countryside code.

START: Watchwood Car Park, Gravelly Hollow, Calverton. (Access Gravelly Hollow from the B6386 Oxton Road, opposite Main Rd and near to Patchings Art Centre.

NG14 6NU).

1. Exit the car park onto the road and turn left along the road. After a short distance turn left to pass through a gap and then, ignoring a marked footpath on your right, continue with woodland on your left and open views on your right.

2. After a short distance you will begin to

26

climb gently uphill. Keep ahead with woodland to your left and open views to your right and then at the top of the hill continue straight ahead on the same level for a short distance. After the footpath begins to descend you will reach a T junction of paths. At this point turn right and now continue downhill with a few trees and open views on your right and woodland on your left.

3. Continue for some distance, then follow the footpath around to the left, staying on

Don’t forget to mention Voice Magazines when responding to the Ads

the edge of the woodland with a fence on your right. Upon reaching a T junction of footpaths ignore the footpath diagonal right, and turn sharp right to pass a telegraph pole on your left. Continue ahead, away from the woodland and keeping a fence on your right.

4. When the fence ends cross straight over a tarmac lane and continue along a footpath around to the left passing through some bushes. After you clear the bushes continue straight ahead to cross a wide-open space.

Eventually you will reach a tarmac lane. Cross the lane diagonal right and then continue straight ahead with a fence over to your left.

5. After a short distance turn left onto a footpath, just prior to reaching a signboard on your left that reads ‘Calverton Colliery Tip’. Pass the ‘Calverton’ signboard on your right to continue along the footpath going uphill.

After a short distance the footpath widens to a track then, near the top of the hill, pass through a open wooden gate. At the top of the hill you will reach a T junction of tracks. Turn right along the track going gently downhill, with views to your right.

6. Pass by a large wooden gate and then continue straight ahead for some distance until passing by a 2nd large wooden gate.

Continue straight ahead for a long distance staying on the track to pass by OR through 3 more large wooden gates. After the 5th of these gates after some distance and when the track begins to curl to the left, turn right along a track going downhill.

7. At the bottom of the hill pass a sign board on your left and by a large metal gate. After a short distance, upon reaching a T junction of tracks with woodland directly ahead of you turn right to walk along a well laid track.

After a short distance the track curls around to the right. Ignore two footpaths to your left to continue along the track going downhill. At the bottom of the hill and just before the track

begins to climb again, turn left onto a footpath going downhill.

8. Continue walking along this path until you pass by a metal gate and to a road. Cross straight over the road and then turn left. Walk along the road for a short distance and then turn right onto a footpath marked for ‘Papplewick’.

Continue ahead with a hedge on your right and a fence and open views on your left.

When the fence ends continue ahead with a hedge on your right.

9. Walk ahead until reaching some woodland.

Now continue along the edge of the woodland, keeping a fence on your left. Continue until you can go no further and follow the footpath to the right, away from the fence and towards the trees.

Immediately you will come to a T junction of paths. Turn left and now continue straight ahead along a footpath through woodland.

Ignore a fork to the left and keep ahead to pass under some power lines.

10. Continue until reaching a track. Ignore the path to the left and continue ahead along the track going downhill. After some distance pass by a metal gate and to a road. Turn left along the road for a very short distance and then turn left again to continue along a track going through woodland. Continue along the track as it turns into a tarmac lane until reaching a road.

11. Turn left along the road and after a short distance cross over the road to continue on the footpath on the opposite side. Continue until reaching a T junction with a main road. Cross straight over the main road to pass through a gap in a fence and make your way Grave ley around to the left to Hollow a tarmac road. Walk along the tarmac road Calverto Sanso until reaching the car m wood Wa t park on your left. on t er lv ery Ca olli C

This walk is for illustrative purposes only. Voice Magazines takes no responsibility for anyone who chooses to follow this route and encourages all walkers to obey all byelaws and signs and to respect the area they are walking in, ensuring they pick up all dog mess and obey the countryside code at all times.

Mike’us sings M

George has brought some Christmas spirit back from north of the border... which spirit it is I’ll let you decide

George hears tales of how some of our neighbours, from north of the Border, truly promote the spirit of Christmas

You’ll recall from your last edition of Voice Magazine how George had taken time out from listening to the outlandish and often bizarre thoughts of the general public and had gone to visit his old pal up in Drumnadrochit. Both George and his wife had a relaxing few days and were warmly and generously treated by Hamish and Morag MacDonald.

This was no surprise to George as he knew that the old ‘music hall’ stereotype of Scots being tighter than a ........(go on, you can fill that in yourself!) was, from his experience, a total myth. However, he was left with second thoughts when Hamish gave an insight into some of the regulars in the bar of the Drumnadrochit Hotel.

“See thon Wullie over there?” asked Hamish. “On 20th December last year, he told us that he’d just phoned his daughter Fiona, who was working for a homeless charity in London, to tell her that he’d had enough of her mother’s cruel behaviour and was going to divorce her in the New Year.

Apparently, she got awfy emotional and said something like, ‘Ach Da, ye cannae dae that. No at this time ‘o year. Ah’ll pack a bag and get up there the morn. Dinnae dae anything till Ah get there!’

At the time, the bar, packed with Wullie’s friends, fell silent and looked at him in astonishment. “Yir no serious are ye?” asked Dougie the local postie.

phone doon, Ah turned tae ma wife and telt her that it was a’ sorted. Fiona wiz coming up fir Christmas an’ we didnae have to pay a thing!”

Hamish took a drink before continuing.

“See him, ower there? That’s Lachlan McDougall.

He’s the only one of us lads never to get married.

Apparently, he was once courting Ailsa Campbell she was a MacTavish back then - and, two days before Christmas one year, they were sitting on the banks of the Loch when she snuggled up to him, looked him in the eye and said, “Ah’ll gie ye a penny fir yir thoughts”.

“Well” said Lachlan, “Ah fancy a bit o’ fishing in the morning.”

Ailsa got a bit closer, and put her arm through his before suggesting “Anither penny fir yir thoughts?”

“Ach” replied Lachlan, “if Ah catch anything, ye can tak it to yir mother for yir tea.”

With her free hand now resting on Lachlan’s knee, Ailsa whispered in his ear, “Ooh Lachlan, jist one mair penny fir yir thoughts?”

Young Lachlan looked pleased with himself. “Weel” he said, “if ye gie me the three pennies ye owe me, Ah could maybe get some chips to gang wi the fish.”

Hamish gave George a knowing look. “Now”, he said, “perhaps you can see why Ailsa became Mrs Campbell and not Mrs McDougall!”

“Ach no” was Hamish’s reply, “when Ah put the

COOPER’S CORNER

FROM THIS...

Sometimes a story arises in football that has repercussions beyond the sport. Was Richard Keogh treated unfairly, if you think not then maybe you would argue the others players should have been punished a lot more severely? Here’s our Barry with his thoughts on the matter.

As usual with my monthly column, I get a note from the editor chasing me because I’m usually about a week over deadline. Luckily for me, and for her, it’s generated an extra few hours to write about a topic which has dominated the local media in recent weeks.

On the evening of September 24, an incident happened which changed the lives, and careers of three Derby County players forever. Mason Bennett and Tom Lawrence both crashed their motor vehicles on the A6 between Duffield and Allestree.

In the back of Lawrence’s vehicle was Rams Club Captain Richard Keogh, who was knocked unconscious by the impact of the collision – he was also left in the car as the other two scarpered like scolded dogs.

Now it’s captain Keogh who (at the time of writing) has been sacked by the club he served with distinction for seven years amid suggestions he refused to agree a new contract on reduced terms – his current one expires next summer, and he’s out injured for at least another year owing to the injuries sustained in the crash in which he was a passenger.

I’m no employment lawyer, I’m merely a football hack giving his opinion on a situation which is rather bleak, and could have been much more serious than it’s turned out to be – and that’s not to trivialise a really bad situation.

I do wonder had Keogh not been in his 30s, at the end of his contract and lacking any resale value, had the situation been handled differently?

Tom Lawrence is a valuable asset while Mason Bennett deemed a talented youngster have been retained.

The whole fiasco has been a PR disaster for Derby County, and I’m sure if Mel Morris could turn the clock back a little while, he’d do so in a heartbeat. Probably predating spygate last season, on recollection.

A team bonding exercise went badly wrong and a group of their players acted poorly, and since, things have been increasingly tough for the club – performances on the pitch haven’t helped matters.

But to treat Keogh like they have done leaves a sour taste, he deserved better or at the very least, he deserved consistent treatment in line with the other pair, who will carry convictions in the eyes of the law. After all, he was only a passenger.

Yes, he shouldn’t have clambered into Tom Lawrence’s car knowing copious amounts of alcohol had been consumed and yes, he probably should have taken his captain’s role more seriously in doing his best to ensure the situation didn’t arise – but that’s probably as far as it goes.

Keogh wasn’t the driver, he wasn’t the one drinkdriving and he wasn’t the one that could have killed himself or others through his reprehensible behaviour. The other pair could have had blood on their hands, yet it is Keogh who has paid for the incident with his career.

A bloke has lost his career because of the disgraceful behaviour of others, and while clearly far from innocent in his own part, you’d be surprised if this was the last we heard of it.
