Aiming For Top Marks! VOICE MAGAZINES EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW! We managed to grab a chat with professional skater and Dancing on Ice star Mark Hanretty on his amazing career and what its been like working with Paralympic track champion Libby Clegg. How did you first get into skating? I started skating when I was 9 years old at Paisley Ice Rink near where I lived, after watching Torvill & Dean return to the ice in 1994. I became absolutely obsessed! You now live in Ashfield, why did you move here and what do you love about the area? I was training between Sheffield, Nottingham and the USA for many years, and whilst training in Sheffield I met my beautiful wife Kathy. I moved to Ashfield to be close to my in-laws. I’ve been really impressed with the sense of community and appreciate being part of that community, as well as the local school which was important for my two children. How have you adapted your training with Libby compared to your previous Dancing on Ice partners? When I first found out I was partnered with Libby I was worried about how the process would be, knowing it was going to be an incredibly difficult challenge. And of course it is difficult but it’s made much easier by Libby being so hard working and eager to improve. We share an athletes mentality and a mutual appreciation for hard work, so I just had to develop a different way of verbalising the routines without her actually being able to see the moves. There’s no doubt I’ve learnt a lot more about myself as a result of working with Libby as well as it being a really humbling experience and makes me appreciate that we, having all our senses, shouldn’t really be complaining about anything. How many hours a week do you train for each performance/routine? Normally training would last 2 hours a day but with Libby we tend to train for about 3-4 hours a day because it takes longer to verbalise the routines with her. It can be quite tricky as we are both parents,
she is also in training for the Paralympics later this year and ice time isn’t always available, so it can be a challenge to fit the hours in but we’re doing our best. What’s it like working with skating royalty Torvill & Dean? Really surreal as obviously they are the reason I started out in the sport! Its strange how my life path has mapped out this way – they are incredibly nice people and we are great friends. The aerial performance you did on this year’s opening show was incredible! How did you get into this and incorporating it into a skating routine? I’ve been doing aeriel work for a few years now. It started as a lot of skaters perform all over the world for months at a time and I didn’t want to leave my wife and children for that long. By learning the aeriel work you tend to get shorter, one off contracts so I can work without having to be away too long.
What has been your proudest skating moment? It’s so hard to pick just one as I’ve done so many amazing things and travelled all over the world to compete and to perform. Skating has taken me to North Korea for a competition which was an amazing experience. I’ve also performed for Sting and his family when he had an ice rink built at his home at Christmas. I’ve performed at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games and with Coldplay as they played live and I skated. I’m so lucky that my job is my passion and I can provide for my family doing something I love. When you aren’t on Dancing on Ice what do you do? I run a coaching programme for competitive skaters. I also commentate on big skating events for Eurosport. Who would be your dream celebrity partner on future series of Dancing on Ice? I think my dream partner would be one of the professional dancers from Strictly Come Dancing!
You can watch Mark and Libby on Dancing on Ice on Sundays on ITV from 6pm To advertise please call Emily on 01773 549 035 or 07891 639 638 11

It’s a hugely popular way to holiday and the saying goes that once you’ve cruised you’ll never go back to ‘normal’ holidaying again! I’m not sure how true that is, but I know a lot of my clients cruise a lot. With so many exciting itineraries, destinations and ships that cater to all tastes there is something to suit everyone. Departures from Southampton are popular too, even those who don’t want to fly could enjoy a cruise. Cruising no longer has the same image that it used to, it’s a very family friendly way to holiday with lots of activities and entertainment onboard for the whole family from huge waterslides, kids clubs, teen centres, Broadway style shows, ice skating, surf machines, you name it they have it! They also have 24 hour dining times available at various restaurants onboard. For those looking for a bit of glamour and maybe more adult orientated options there are cruises for you too. Boutique cruises on smaller ships for a more intimate experience giving that feeling of ‘old time’ cruising. They can also dock in smaller ports so offer itineraries that can dock in city centre locations often not available to the bigger ships. With celebrities like Gary Barlow now getting onboard (no pun intended) with cruise ships it’s fast becoming the must do travel experience. I’ll even be trying out sea legs myself later this year! Cruising isn’t limited to the open sea either, there is the wonderful world of River cruising where you can enjoy small boat cruising along some of the worlds most stunning waterways. With options across the globe it’s the ultimate city break. Meals prepared with all local ingredients and matched with beautiful wines it’s a real foodie favourite too. And for those a little more adventurous there are places like the Galapagos Islands and Alaska which are often best experienced from a ship. Get up close and personal with the wildlife – I have clients that have seen whales from their cabin balcony! For a REAL adventure you could even sail to the North Pole on 50 Years of Victory… A snip at around £25,000 per passenger! 7 night cruises start at just £599 per person making cruising a very affordable way to holiday. So next time you are thinking about holidays and you’re considering your options don’t hesitate to get in touch on 01623 859150 / 07932 959752 or email me at donna.horner@travelcounsellors.com

Book Review
Richard Powers – The Overstory
A 600-page novel about trees – and nine people whose lives are intertwined with them – would seem an odd subject for rave reviews. But The Overstory, by American writer Richard Powers, is a stunner. It’s one of those rare books that changes the way you look at things around you and at a time when we are getting increasingly nervous about climate change, it’s right on the button. There’s mind boggling stuff, born out by scientific fact – that trees communicate, that they take care of each other, that they sense the presence of other nearby life and react to it, that they save resources in times of stress and warn their kin and send out signals to wasps to come and save them from attacks. They produce oxygen. They consume carbon dioxide, they’re at the heart of the things that make our planet work. And yet humans, the “superior” species, cuts them down, clears vast areas of forest to produce palm oil or for economic and housing development or even concretes over them to provide parking space - completely ignoring the affect this will have. But this isn’t simply a story for ecologists. It’s a tale told through people’s lives. It’s beautiful and brilliant and mind-opening, thoughtful and heart-breaking and it wears its encyclopaedic knowledge lightly, so it whizzes along. You can’t be bored by it. And despite the part that humankind plays in the plot, it is wonderfully generous to our flawed species, our foibles, but also our ability to be so much more. If you’re going to read one book this year, this is the one.

YOU REALLY CAN HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT! A couple of months ago we received a lovely email from Christine Evans, who is the Vice Chair of C.A.K.E, which stands for Community for Action and Kirkby Events. We had a lovely chat with Christine and learnt all about it and we were so impressed we wanted to share a little of what we learnt with all of our lovely readers.
How did C.A.K.E get started? C.A.K.E began as the result of a Facebook chat back in February 2018 on a group called Kirkby-in-Ashfield people between Christine and Laura Shaw, another of the co-founders. They were saying that ‘nothing really happens in Kirkby’ and before they knew it they had set up the group on Facebook to get things moving. The initial response was fantastic but they soon found themselves facing the realities of putting on events. A meeting with the council left them with more questions than answers but with their amazing get-up-and-go attitude they weren’t going to be deterred. They started off small with a craft fair in a local pub. This gave them enough money to buy the all-so -important public liability insurance and they were flying.
What have you been up to? C.A.K.E have gone from strength to strength putting on a wide range of events in the past two years. The Party in the Park is their big showpiece event on August Bank Holiday and last years was a fantastic success, with great support from local businesses and the local community. There were a ton of kids attractions including zorbing, go carts and even the largest disco dome in the country! The notts flyball team were also there alongside a mini dog show. There were vintage cars, a swing dance society
performing 1940’s dancing and a rock n roll dj ‘kick n rush’, along with a variety of other bands, stalls and entertainers. They have also put on a K9 Capers dog show in May last year, with 15 different classes and 3 championships. There was also a variety of entertainment for children as well as lots of dog related stalls and events. Most recently they held the Kids Christmas Party at Festival Hall, with Santa, lovely food and lots of fun and games.
What’s coming up in the future? C.A.K.E are not a group to rest on their laurels. They have big plans moving forwards, with May bringing another K9 Capers event on Kingsway Park and a very special 1940’s themed V.E. Day celebration in Festival Hall, which will be free to Pensioners and just £3 for other adults (over 18s only). However, the highlight of the year will again be the fantastic Party in the Park, which will be held on Kingsway Park on the August Bank Holiday Sunday 30th August. Christine hopes this year will be even bigger and better with more bands, performing on a special stage, including the popular local band ‘The Hype’.

So how do you get involved? All of this success has mostly been achieved by a small group of volunteers. So, if you want to help then the easiest way is to join the Facebook group and send C.A.K.E a message. There are lots of opportunities from volunteering with one of the events to fundraising and organising behind the scenes. Based on our experience with Christine they are a fantastic, friendly group who really deserve your support.

Vintage Rambles a with raf lake and F
6-mile circular from Edwinstowe via the Major Oak
This month we’re bringing the first of a series of ‘classic’ walks. We have been through our huge back catalogue of Rafa’s Rambles and picked out the very best walks from the past decade. We are re-walking and updating each of the Rambles as we go. This month we have picked the ‘Major Oak’ walk, which we first featured back in July 2016. The Major Oak is a fantastic sight to see and well worth the walk in itself but I picked this walk because it is the perfect combination of trails, trees & water which the dogs love along with a nice coffee and cake stop for us! Rafa wasn’t able to go on the walk last time as he was recovering from an operation on his leg to repair a snapped cruciate ligament in his knee. So, he was delighted to come this time and was joined by his deputy, Flake, who was only a twinkle in his daddy’s eye when we last did this walk.
A moderate walk for you and your dog! This walk is fairly flat and should take around 2½ hours to complete. There is a range of terrain, with some possibly muddy and uneven sections. There are a few sections of road, so take plenty of care.
START: Jubilee Park, Trinity Road, Edwinstowe. Notts. NG21 9RW.
To find the car park take the first right-hand turn off Trinity Road, just before some flats. Pass through the flat’s car park into the ‘Jubilee Park’ car park. 1.
2.
Pass through the gap and onto a lane. Turn left along the lane and continue until the lane bears sharp right. Continue around to the right and now continue straight ahead with a hedge on your right.
3.
Continue until you reach some trees and then pass by a yellow marker post on your right. Continue straight ahead with trees on your left and open fields on your right.
4.
After some time you will reach a T junction with a lane. Turn right and go gently uphill along the lane. At the top of the hill pass some stables on your left and then ‘The Archway House’ on your right. After, continue straight along the lane for some distance until reaching a main road.
5.
Cross the road diagonal left, pass through a gap and then turn immediately right along a trail signposted for ‘Sherwood Forest’. For a short distance the trail runs parallel with the road and then a very short distance after passing over a crossroads of paths the trail bends sharp to the left.
6.
Follow the trail around to the left and then continue for some distance and pass over a crossroads of paths signposted for ‘bridleway’ and ‘Sherwood Forest’.
7.
Continue straight to the top of a hill and then at a crossroads of footpaths turn right signposted for ‘Visitor Centre’. Ignoring all other footpaths to the left and right continue for a long distance following the signs for ‘Major Oak’. Upon reaching a T junction of paths turn right and pass by The Major Oak on your left.
8.
Follow this path staying close to a wooden fence on your left. Continue ahead along the path, following signs for the ‘Visitor Centre’. Continue straight ahead and eventually pass the cricket ground on the left and the Visitor Centre on your right. Continue straight to pass through a small car park and onto a road.
9.
10.

From the car park take the tarmac path heading towards a recreation ground and passing by a sign board on your left reading ‘Jubilee Park’. Follow the tarmac path until reaching a circular children’s play area directly in front of you. Follow the tarmac path around to the left of the play area and at the far side bear right along a path until reaching a gap in the hedge.
Turn left along the road until reaching a T junction with a main road. Turn right along the main road and continue straight ahead to pass through a set of traffic lights onto Edwinstowe High Street.
after the bridge turn right along ‘Mill Road’. Continue along Mill Road for some distance and then just prior to a ‘national speed limits’ sign and railway bridge turn right along a signposted ‘Bridleway’. 11.
Continue along the bridleway with a river on your right. After some distance cross over a wooden river bridge and then continue straight ahead until reaching a hedgerow directly in front of you. At this point turn right along a lane and continue with the hedge on your left.
12.
After a very short distance the lane bends sharp to the left. Follow the lane around to the left and continue straight ahead until reaching a gap in the hedge on your right. Pass through the gap and back into Jubilee Park. Retrace your steps back to the carpark.
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.

JERRY GREEN DOG RESCUE We care for and rehome abandoned and unwanted dogs, and will never put a dog down unless it’s the only humane option. We receive no Government or National Lottery funding so are dependent on donations from the public.
We run five centres in the east of England, including your nearest one in Nottinghamshire at Warsop Lane, Blidworth, NG21 0PG. We are open 1:30pm to 4:00pm every day.
REGULAR GIVING
As you can imagine, our vet bills are very large, even for just the standard vet care we give every #RescueDog. For standard vet care alone, it costs us on average ÂŁ84 per dog, costing the charity ÂŁ43,000 every year, which is why your donations are so important for us đ&#x;?śđ&#x;?śđ&#x;?śđ&#x;?ś From as little as ÂŁ5 a month, you can help us to continue doing what we do and give our dogs the second chance they deserve. Set up a monthly donation here: https://buff.ly/2NMqRj1 #AdoptDontShop #SupportUs #VetCare.
SUPPORT RESCUE DOGS BY TRAINING YOUR OWN!
As 2020 begins, Jerry Green Dog Rescue is encouraging you to add training your dog to your list of New Year’s resolutions. Shelley Wilks, the charities Deputy Chief Executive, said: “Training can make or break a dog’s chance to stay in a new home. We believe that with the right training and persistence, these behavioural issues can be resolved and a happy home life will soon follow�. If you would like some support with your training, our highly skilled Enterprise Trainers are here to help. For training advice or if you would like to book onto one of their classes in Nottingham, contact Rachel:
Rachel: 07464 490201 • rachel.bagley@ jerrygreendogs.org.uk
All of the money raised from their training services will go towards the care and rehoming of their rescue dogs - so not only will you be helping your own dog, you’ll be helping those in their care ďŹ nd their forever homes too!

Prepare your Child for Success at Kip McGrath Kip McGrath Ashfield opened its doors on Kingsway in Kirkby-inAshfield in late 2019, headed up by Tasha and James Cotterill. Since then they have welcomed children of all abilities from both primary and secondary school years for after-school tuition in Maths and English. I popped along with my 6 year son to their Open Day to find out more!
At the end of the assessment I sat down with Tasha to go through the results. It was great to see exactly how he was doing and where he could be helped with some extra support. We have booked on for sessions in Maths to give him some confidence on areas he found difficult during the assessment.
Tasha and James were so welcoming and immediately put us at ease. After giving us a quick tour of their impressive new premises, Tasha took my little boy for his free assessment. With Year 2 SATS looming in May this year, along with some unexpected teaching changes at his school, I was keen to see how he was doing. The assessment wasn’t scary at all and all I could hear was giggling from my son as he worked with Tasha through the questions.
Children are incentivised to learn by being award points which they can exchange for prizes from sweets and pens, right through to a Kindle!
Each weekly session is an hour and 20 minutes and take place in groups no larger than four children per tutor. Each child has a personalised learning plan to follow and one to one support during the session too.
It’s definitely worth getting in touch with them to see if they can help your child especially if they have exams or tests coming up and taking their free assessment.
Kids & Families Great ways to keep babies, children and teens busy and make new friends in your local area! These free listings are for charities and not for profit community groups, and we strive to keep these listings as up to date as possible but always check with the organiser before travelling.

The hidden costs of care The cost of care has been a hot topic for some time now and we understand why it can be daunting. When looking at the future it is however something which needs to be considered and, like all things financial, the sooner the better! With an aging population it is more and more likely that you or a family member will need to use a care home in later life. It’s never easy, usually fraught with emotion, and often comes at a difficult time with perhaps the onset of dementia or other illnesses being the catalyst for the hard decision. Choosing the right care home to look after your loved one is your priority and it shouldn’t come down to a question of cost, but finances do have to play their part. The Care Act 2014 is the detailed legislation covering all elements of care, including the financial side of things, and obviously in this article we’re unable to mention all the strands of such complicated regulation. To summarise though, at present if you have savings of over £23,500 you are expected to meet part or all of the care home costs. With care homes locally charging anywhere from £600 to £800 a week, this could cost up to £40,000 a year. The average stay in a care home is 3 years, so we’re talking about huge sums of money.
There are however options open to you as long as you take action many years before the need for care arises. Discretionary trusts, prudent use of life policies and transferring assets to a loved one are all potentially worth considering. The use of trusts is becoming more commonplace as people realise that protective control of an asset can be maintained. Once viewed as a tool only used by the wealthy they’re now being explored by far more families who are keen to minimise the possible impact of care home fees in the future. You also need to make sure you’re Many argue that there’s a feeling of being considering inheritance tax obligations, lasting penalised for having been a prudent saver and power of attorney and your will as early as you others counter argue with the point that those can. who can afford to pay for care, should. Whatever your stance, if you are paying for We know this is a subject many families don’t care you could be in the position of selling like to discuss, it’s too emotive a topic. All we’ll your family home to meet the costs involved. say on the matter is that the legislation is not clear cut, don’t put off the conversation just It’s no good looking at ‘giving away’ your savings to family or loved ones to avoid paying because it won’t be an easy one. The team at care fees! As you can imagine, local authorities Hampshire Hill can help you consider the best course of action for your specific needs and are very good at identifying such activity and circumstances.

The answers go round the hive starting at the top “B” in a clockwise direction and the last letter of each answer is the first letter of the next answer eg BEEBONY = BEE EBONY, there are no gaps between the words. If a clue cannot be answered then the beginning letter of the next answer will be the last letter of the 8 previously unknown answer. The answers spiral round to finish at the “B” in the centre of the hive. The clues are numbered in 20 order to go ound the hive and 14 24 he number of letters in each answer is given in brackets. 7

Did you know that over 60% of adults in the UK die without making a Will. Many people do not realise the need to make a Will; either because they believe they are too young, their estate is too small or they have just “never got around to doing it?” The main benefits of a Will are: 1.
You can appoint trusted person(s) to deal with your affairs when you die & take the burden off your loved ones at a very difficult time.
2.
You can appoint guardians in your Will for your minor children. If you do not have a Will then it could be in the hands of the Courts to decide whom they live with.
3.
You can decide whom you wish to benefit from your Estate – if you do not have a Will the law will decide who inherits which may mean your loved ones are not taken care of.

Every family has a ‘Mildred’, they’re at every Family event yet no-one ever remembers inviting them. If you can’t think who it is in your family you should probably be worried… as it might be you!
George enjoyed a lovely, albeit perplexing, family Christmas C

George, UCIP’s intrepid People’s Champion, comes from a big family and every year there is a gathering of the ‘clan’ at the local community centre.

Following Zoe’s (his niece) wedding earlier in 2019, there was a newcomer to this annual event. Zoe’s new mother-in-law, Mildred, came over from Newton for the party, and as George had discovered at the wedding, she was a very interesting woman with a quirky view on a number of topics.

K
Mildred, knowing how George had been researching the ways in which ordinary people would like to improve the world, button-holed him. Although, he is by nature a good listener, George found it difficult to keep track of the questions his new ‘friend’ was asking him to solve. Here’s a selection:•

Why, when you join the shortest queue at the supermarket check-out, do you invariably find that the customer in front initially appears to have forgotten that the goods actually need to be paid for. They then spend so long checking every pocket in their coat and every section of their wallet/purse before finding either cash or credit card that the chap who was in the longer queue before you is now in the car park loading his car?
•
Why do washing machines have so many programmes when everyone just uses the one?
•
Why, when I’m taking the grandchildren to school does one of them inevitably step in the deposit recently left by a local dog? NB – as I’m sure
most people are aware, Newton is officially the dog turd capital of Bolsover District! •
Why do men always say that they make a ‘mean chilli’ when it’s just bolognese with added kidney beans?
•
Why is it that temporary traffic lights always change to red when I’m just 25 yards away. I then find that it is one of these ‘four way’ set-ups that mean I’ve got enough time to check the contents of the glove compartment and read a couple of chapters of my book before they change back to green?
•
When you drop a piece of toast covered in lovely butter and tangy marmalade, why is it always that side that hits the floor first?
•
If a short person and a tall person go for a walk, because of the little legs of the former, does he/ she walk further than the one with the long legs even though they’ve covered the same distance?
•
Is it harder to carry a heavy package up an upescalator than carrying it down a down-escalator?
Well, as you can imagine, George didn’t have an answer for any of these, but he suddenly ‘remembered’ that his wife had a migraine and he’d better go to see how she was. As he left Mildred, promising to see ‘what he could do’, he was heard muttering under his breath that he hoped Zoe would forget to invite her mother-inlaw to next year’s ‘do’.

It may not be a very inviting idea, but turning over the soil in plant or veg beds while it’s still cold is a good plan. It exposes pests to frosts and birds and other predators and also helps kill off the roots of weeds. And just think of the exercise! You can start mulching, particularly where bulbs are growing, but do try to remove weeds first otherwise you are simply providing a better growing environment for them.

If you want to get a head start on preparing your soil for veg growing you can warm up the soil by covering rows with fleece or polythene or individual cloches.
r
Indoors, if you have either a warm greenhouse or windowsill you can plant seeds of early starters such as pelargoniums or begonias. They take about two weeks to germinate so will be emerging around the time light levels start to improve. Fruit trees and canes can be planted now if the soil is not frozen, and this is your last chance to winter prune apples, pears and citrus trees. Prune newly planted raspberry canes back to twelve inches.
TOP TIP!
If you’re buying compost for growing seeds, get seed compost rather than an all-purpose version. It will contain the right nutrients and should be fine tilth and promote good drainage. 06/11/2018 18:16

The Transfer Window ‘slammed’ shut again at the end of January. Was your club a ‘winner’ or a ‘loser’ or is it all just a farce that’s had it’s time and needs consigning to room 101? Here’s our Barry with his thoughts…
Grab hire, domestic and commercial house and hoarder clearance is county wide. Commercial waste solutions also county wide with no contracted obligations.
The transfer window is a strange time of the season.
Domestic Skip hire is available from Mansfield through to the outskirts of Nottingham city. cit
A period where media organisations go into full on overdrive to fuel the flames of speculation, which fans up and down the land lap up in their droves. Fans, literally, can’t seem to get enough. The sheer amount of audience data tells us this, the January window performs greater than any other month of the year, frankly, and it is remarkable. Transfer stories generate more interest on a consistent basis than any other type of football-related story, and as journalists, we just can’t create enough. But what’s it all about? Why are fans so desperate to read about links to players the world over, whether speculation has a foundation or not? There seems an increased pressure on clubs to spend, spend, spend in the vain hope their club will be successful, but then moan when they end up with an over-inflated squad full of average players, a hefty wage bill and facing financial penalties imposed on them by the Football League. And once that player signs, it’s almost like he’s forgotten and fans are onto the next. It’s almost like the spoilt kid at Christmas to coin one analogy. One present gets opened and before they’ve finished ripping the paper off
their expensive iPad, their eyes are onto the next and that one is cast asunder. I do find it a strange mentality, but it’s one that is the currency of the national and local media in this digital age. Maybe fans’ attitudes are impacted by the way the media, and in particular the pay-tv media over-egg the transfer window and in particular, transfer deadline day, but at the heart of this bloodbath is the players. Players who have lives, who have families, friends, children in schools and may be settled in the areas they reside.
We have ADR registered drivers, scrap metals licence, hire and reward for grab and hook loader skip haulage.

A player who has represented three of the East Midlands’ biggest clubs once described being made to feel like a piece of meat in the transfer window, and it’s hard not to feel for them. Not all players earn silly money, some are just normal, down to earth blokes trying to be settled and earn a good living.

I feel like the transfer window has been outgrown, and now business should revert to how it used to be. If you want to sign a player in November, you can. Go and do it. It might even help the lower league clubs who rely so heavily on transfer income.
