Hello Readers, We’ve made it to summer (allegedly – the weather begs to differ!) and everywhere is tentatively starting to re-open. We had a lovely meal in an al fresco igloo with 2 friends to celebrate a birthday that happened 2 months ago! For us, 1 vaccine down, it’s nice to be out and about again and of course, to be able to see friends and family at long last.

We’ve got Christmas dinner with the outlaws next month – it’s the roaring 20’s – anything goes!!!

Speaking of things being open – have we got a comp for you guys!! As you are all aware, the Y Not Festival IS running this year -yayyyy!

We’re so excited as the Voice team are on tour BUT we also managed to get a family ticket to give away to our lovely readers. The lineup is amazing and something really positive to look forward too after the last couple of years.

SOOOO…. to be in with a chance of winning - all you need to do is answer the following question and email, it back to us.

Which county is the Y Not festival held in?

Email us at info@voicemagazines.co.uk before 5pm on 18th June 2021, with the answer, your name & contact telephone number (if we don’t have both of these, you won’t be included in the draw). *T&C’s apply.

What, you more?!?

want

Well turn to page 17 for an aMAZEing competition to win a family ticket to the outdoor cinema at Notts Maze.

Following on from the re-opening of life as we know it – we suspect that events and community groups will be re-opening again soon too and we’ve already had contact from The Men’s Shed and Alfreton Ramblers Club, so now we just need you! If you previously featured in our mag or you would like to in future and you run a community or not-forprofit group or event, please get in touch, we’d love to hear from you.

Happy catching up with friends and family, but remember, the dreaded ‘C’ word hasn’t gone away, so stay safe!

See you next month,

Emily x P.S. Don’t forget to mention the ‘Voice’ when you use any of the companies in this magazine

Volunteer noun [c]

A person who does something, especially helping other people, willingly and without being forced or paid to do it Volunteering must be a choice freely made by each individual.

We define volunteering as any activity that involves spending time, unpaid, doing something that aims to benefit the environment or someone.

People choose to volunteer for a variety of reasons. For some it offers the chance to give something back to the community or make a difference to the people around them. For others it provides an opportunity to develop new skills or build on existing experience and knowledge.

Giving to others can also help protect your mental and physical health. It can reduce stress, combat depression, keep you mentally stimulated, and provide a sense of purpose. While it’s true that the more you volunteer, the more benefits you’ll experience, volunteering doesn’t have to involve a long-term commitment or take a huge amount of time out of your busy day. Giving in even simple ways can help those in need and improve your health and happiness.

Our voluntary staff are an integral part of the hospice team. We are very proud of them and thank them for their wonderful commitment. They are regularly referred to in letters of thanks from families and friends of the hospice patients, who remember them for their care and concern.

Approximately 250 voluntary staff work in several different areas in the hospice, providing an essential service. We also have teams at our two charity shops in Mansfield and Sutton. If you would like to join us, please email: contact@johneastwoodhospice.org.uk for an application form.

Sutton Heritage Society

Whit Walk - Part One Looking back over the years, one of the traditions was the whit walk. Prior to the walk, there would have been meetings with a representative from each church to check what was needed, and that everything would be in place for the routes which were being walked.

1.

Which brass bands were going to be involved?

2.

Which hymns would they sing?

3. Which tunes would they use?

4.

What about police who had to organise the traffic and close the roads?

5. Who would organise collecting tins?

6. How many service sheets did they need?

Just some of the many questions which needed to be answered.

There were usually about 15 hymns needed

for the day, such as When a knight won his spurs, Blessed Assurance, Praise to the Lord, and Stand up, Stand up for Jesus which were all favourites. They always included special hymns which the children would know.

Brass Bands were usually the colliery bands, Huthwaite prize band, Teversal colliery band, Shirebrook Colliery Band, Clipstone Colliery Band, and The Salvation Army Band were amongst those used.

Most children would have new clothes, often shoes as well. It was an expensive time, and often the one time of the year when a child would have a new outfit. For parents who couldn’t pay, they had them “on the slate” paying off an amount each week.

The children, excited at these new outfits would dress up and go visiting relatives or neighbours to show their outfits, in the hope that they would get a penny or two for going.

SUTTON-IN-ASHFEILD HIGH STREET MAP

Vintage Rambles a with raFf lake and

We first featured this walk in Christmas 2014! So, we thought it was time to revisit and we were really glad we did. It’s a great walk, making use of the Rowthorne Trail, Teversal Trail and Pleasley Pit Country Park before heading off to explore the countryside around Glapwell. The doggies loved it as they were able to explore off lead on the trails and if you are looking for a stop off point the café at Pleasley Pit is due to reopen by the time this magazine arrives with you.

6-mile circular walk near Rowthorne Village A moderate walk for you and your dog. The route should take around 2½ hours. Whilst a large part of the walk is trails and paths there are some fields to cross with uneven and potentially muddy sections so a good pair of boots or wellies is a must, especially at this time of year.

There are a few sections of road, so please take care and keep dogs on leads at these times.

GARDENS

Gardener’s Calendar Despite our chilly spring most gardens are bursting with life. You can start to think about pruning early flowering shrubs such as forsythia, currant and mock orange to ensure you get a good show of flowers next year. Leave it later and the flowers are less likely. Take out diseased stems to ground level and cut back generally to a lower strongly growing stem. Cut back a quarter of older stems to the base.

Nasturtiums and night scented stock are among the seeds you can still be planting now, along with other “companion” plants which will help keep pests away. These usually have a strong scent, which confuse the insects which will damage your prize plants, whether fruit and veg or the likes of roses. So you can use nasturtiums alongside beans, lavender for carrots, calendula and mint for tomatoes, although watch out that the mint doesn’t take over your plot. Artemesia attracts things like ladybirds which see off aphids.

r

If you’ve left your lawn to grow long in May to encourage wildflowers but now want to cut it, do it in stages. If weeds you didn’t have also popped up, remember that weedkiller will kill the wildflowers too!

Top Tip If you’re looking to attract pollinators such as bees as hoverflies to your garden, try the likes of sage and borage, heliotrope cosmos, and salvias.
