From the Editor Hello Readers!!

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback regarding last month’s front covers & the mags in general, it is hugely appreciated.

I have said before, feedback (preferably positive where possible!!) is always welcomed and keeps our little team motivated to keep trying different things. When we receive a lovely e-mail, like we have from some readers this month, it truly lifts us all and I am so proud of our team & how they’ve all remained positive over the last 18 months, so thank you, it’s nice to be nice!

magazines – and no! I still haven’t sorted any Christmas shopping out…..I tried…..and then the moment passed again!!! Anyway, get your adverts and events in, the team are waiting to hear from you!

Happy Reading,

Emily x

PS: Don’t forget to mention the ‘Voice’ when you use any of the companies in this magazine

I will do an introduction editorial to the team once we’ve got the website up and running. I’m conscious that I keep mentioning team members & it’d be better to put a face to a name! However, I think it’s fair to give a special mention to Danielle regarding the feedback on the mags, as she has and is continuing to do a sterling job on the community engagement aspect of Voice Magazines – all these new articles, are pretty much down to Danielle’s vision for what people would like to read more about…. so much so, I think she’ll be looking for some support soon!

Mr Emily & I went on our hollibobs, whilst the rest of the team supported our very own Paul during his boxing debut for an Ultimate White Collar Boxing event in Pride Park. Paul originally signed up around November 2019 for the event in April 2020 but for obvious reasons, he has had the date scheduled and rescheduled a good 3 or 4 times! This has been a nightmare for him, not least as he’s been having to stop and start his training.

Anyway, it finally happened on the 11th September, the team donned their glad rags and I speak for all of us when I say that we couldn’t be any prouder of his performance and his resolve to keep picking himself up, start training again and stand up in the ring. He raised some fantastic money for cancer research with some of our lovely advertisers supporting him both by donating and attending. Watch out Anthony Joshua, Paul is coming for your crown!

The Voice ladies also had a fabulous outing this month to the Somercotes Cineroom to see ‘Little Women’. What an absolutely fabulous initiative and really well done to the organisers, we all loved it – read our thoughts in this months Swanwick edition or online. It’s ‘Cruella’ next!

In other news, it’s the Christmas editions for the next two

A special appeal for bricks? ( Part one) Anna Neagle the film star, appealed over radio in 1937 for two million bricks, timber and equipment to build a new ward at Mansfield General Hospital.

The amount in cash terms equated to £10,000.

The ward was for women.

The area, a coal mining area serving about 150,000 people had a shortage of beds. A total of 132 were available. Most hospital beds were taken up by the local miners with accidents down the pits. Things like roof falls, getting caught in machinery, and being run over by tubs, were just a few. The accidents were often more serious and needed hospital treatment.

Miners were therefore given priority.

Shortly after the appeal a massive week-long carnival was planned. The “Sutton Area Appeal Fund” for Mansfield Hospital’s new women’s ward was off to a good start.

Bulwell Jack Tars, 2.Hucknall Nomads, 3.Selston Hussars and 4.Hucknall Lavenracs. They were marked on marching technique and appearance as well as musical ability. Another award was for the bands who had never won a previous contest. 1.Stanton Hill Continentals and 2.Bulwell Strelley. A Marionette Show was put on by Lolly and Pop of Nottingham. The Circus Variety Show, consisted of Betty Evans (Sutton) and partner (Trapeze performers); Juan Sabado on the slack wire with Martes; The Frank Rex Duo equilibristic performance of muscle and strength; Briff, Braff and Bruff - American comedians; the Great and the Goode Acrobatic Team, and Burlesque Comedian Valerius. Bert Hughes’ Trick Cyclists played a game of basketball whilst cycling, and the obligatory Punch and Judy Show was there to amuse the children. A Church Service was also held.

Later came Comic Cycle Races, organised

by Mansfield CTC, held a potato race, winner R. Robey and a tyre bursting competition with winners Handley and Turner (Gents) and Miss Kitchen(Ladies). The Portland Accordion Band played a concert in a large marquee under the direction of Tony Hurt.

End of Part One...

The week began with “Crowning the Carnival Queen.” Following a ballot, Jessie Dove was crowned Carnival Queen by Lady Anne Cavendish Bentinck. Her attendants were D.M. Bradford and E. Geeson. Junior maids were Betty Williams and Joyce Wharmby. A procession was organised to go from the Lammas to Sutton Lawn.

The Carnival Band Awards held success for 1.

Local lad shines at first Olympic Games pt2 Concluding our interview with Jacob Whittle, the 16 year old swimmer from Alfreton.

Do you ever feel you’re missing out on a ‘normal’ teenage life?

Definitely not, I am living my dream! I’m 16yrs old and have travelled to Dubai, Australia, Canada, Canary Islands, Hungary, Russia, Azerbajan and Tokyo to swim and compete, meeting new people, and learning about different cultures.

I may not party on a Friday or Saturday night, but I am happy with this choice. I love to surf so when I can I like to go to the South Coast or Scarborough, I also like skateboarding and love watching drag car racing. I know it might not be a cool thing, but I also love steam trains!

What was it like being with the squad in Tokyo?

It was a wonderful experience. Team GB were just the best team and the swim team were so close. We had the opportunity to bond when we competed in the European Championships in May. I have come away from Tokyo even more determined than ever to keep pushing myself to be the best I can be.

Did the team look after you?

Absolutely! We all look out for one another. Prior to the games I trained at the National Centre in Loughborough under Mel Marshal, with Adam Peaty, Luke Greenbank, Anna Hopkin and Sarah Vasey who were all in Tokyo. It felt so natural for me to be around this team and with these guys every day.

What’s your ultimate goal or ambition for your swimming career?

I want to be the best I can be and to keep improving. It would be amazing to win a medal at the Olympics and to get a World record, but these are not my main drivers. The most important thing is to keep learning and improving. I have so much more to give and know that I am just scratching the surface of my potential as a swimmer.

Your coach of 3 years, Jamie Main, said he thinks your success could inspire other young swimmers, do you feel that has put any pressure on you ?

No, but I feel I’m in a privileged position. I have hugely supportive parents and amazing coaches who have always believed in me. Without these supportive influences around me, I would not have had the belief and drive that I have. I wasn’t the best swimmer at 10yrs old, I was tall and skinny and couldn’t co-ordinate my long arms properly. However, I was passionate, willing to work hard and do whatever it took to improve. I listened to feedback and worked on and on until I got it right. If I can inspire others to believe they can achieve their dreams, I am proud to do so.

Team GB had an amazing games, and the swimming team had a record performance. I hope this means that swimming receives the finance it needs to invest in local pools and clubs and that more people are inspired to learn to swim.

Book Review Fans of TV show Pointless will know and probably love Richard Osman’s sly wit. And it comes shining through in his Thursday Murder Club series of novels which have become a huge word of mouth success. People love them.

There’s a new one out – The Man Who Died Twice - which is probably why we’re seeing a lot more of Mr Osman at the moment, but a good place to introduce yourself to his characters is the first book in the series – which goes by the title of The Thursday Murder Club.

Four friends, living in a quiet retirement village, meet once a week to try to work out unsolved murders. A bit like bridge, but with added drama. Then a brutal killing happens on their doorstep and they step up in ways no-one could foresee.

The story may sound simple, but the twists are brilliant, the characters are perfect and it’s full of wry British humour at its best – it’s the kind of book you would imagine Mr Osman would write. Basically this book is a great feel-good experience. It’s clever, crisp and warmly written and will leave you smiling. Just as well he’s penned another then, and with more promised.

Halloween - Spooky or Commercialised?

Who doesn’t love Halloween - well, ME for one! That could be because I am in the (err umm) slightly older age bracket and simply don’t get what amounts to the Americanisation of the day…I mean, giving kids carte blanche to knock on doors and expect sweeties cannot be a good idea - surely?! But taking a step back from the sugar fuelled fest of today, who knows the real reason we mark the 31st of October?

The origins of what we now know as Halloween are very ancient indeed, dating back to the pre-Christian Celtic peoples of Britain (and Northern Europe). The feast of Samhain (which is actually pronounce ‘sowain’) marked the end of their year sensible really as it’s the end of the growing and harvesting season and the beginning of the winter months. It was seen as the most important one of the four quarterly “fire festivals”.

At that time of year it was thought the veil between the living and the dead thinned, and the souls of the dead would return to visit their homes and families. As evil spirits and otherworldly beings could also breach “the veil” at this time, people would dress up in animal and monster costumes to confuse the potential visitors and avoid kidnap. Individual hearth fires would be allowed to die down and communal bonfires would be lit for roasting sacrificial cattle, the people would feast (whilst ensuring a share was left for the spirits, ancestors, and faery folk!) and a flame from the bonfire would be used to re-light their hearth fires.

When the Roman’s invaded Celtic lands they incorporated their own gods, Feralia, commemorating the passing of the dead, and Pomona, the goddess of the harvest. The advent of Christianity saw attempts to transmute Samhain into a Christian celebration, and in the 5th century A.D. Pope Boniface moved the festival to May

13th as a day to commemorate saints and martyrs. Funnily enough, this didn’t stop the fire festivals and so in the 9th century Pope Gregory moved the festival back to the original time of year, calling the day (1 November) All Saints Day. The day before became known as holy, or hallowed eve, which eventually became Halloween (een being another word for eve).

Some of the traditions we see today can be traced back to the original Celtic Samhain, dressing up for example, whilst “trick or treating” may have derived from early Scottish and Irish traditions of going from door to door singing songs for the dead in return for “soul cakes”. Hollowed out and carved turnips with candles inside, known as Jack O’ Lanterns (after a legendary character) originated in Ireland and were taken to the US by immigrants who switched to using readily available (and easier to carve) pumpkins.

Would Halloween be such a feature in UK life, particularly for children, without the influence of the US? Personally, I think not - it certainly wasn’t prominent in my childhood… although that was many moons ago!

John Eastwood Hospice, Mansfield Road, Sutton in Ashfield NG17 4HJ

MARSHALLS COACHES CYCLE 130 MILES TO RAISE FUNDS FOR TWO LOCAL HOSPICES Initially diagnosed as IBS, Georgina Tagg actually suffered a very rare form of cancer, Pseudomyxoma peritonei, which only affects around 1 or 2 in a million people.

Over the first few months of 2021 Georgina found herself in and out of Hospice care until her passing in May. Kenneth, her Husband explained how the staff at John Eastwood Hospice had been simply amazing. “The care and support you’ve shown us both has been incredible and I couldn’t have wished for a better place to look after her at the end of a long, long road.”

The retiring collection from the funeral was in aid of the hospice, and totalled £1120 and in addition, some of Kenneth’s work colleagues organised a charity cycle ride on 1st August, cycling 130 miles with proceeds split between John Eastwood & Beaumond House hospices, the original target was to raise £1000 (i.e. £500 for each charity), but with around seven weeks still to go, they beat that target and began aiming for £1000 for each charity.

We were bowled over by this incredible fundraising cycle ride by Marshalls Coaches. One of the main organisers had both parents cared for by Beaumond House in Newark. "This means both charities are very close to our hearts and we would like to 'give something back'" said the fundraisers.

And guess what? They have raised an astonishing £6,114. So much more than the amount they were hoping for. Isn't that simply incredible? Thank you to Marshalls Coaches and to everyone who has supported them.

Chesterfield & District Beekeeping Association (CDBKA) has been in existence since 1947. Current membership stands at over 200 which is a record for the Association. Members have a wide range of age and experience, very few of whom meet the stereotypical beekeeper image –white, male, retired and bearded!

Many are women, and young working people are now joining, thanks to the now-raised profile of bees and pollinators.

We are a friendly bunch, with the experienced beekeepers always happy to give advice on the issues that can flummox newer beekeepers, or ‘newbees’ as we affectionately call them. Our region covers the South Yorkshire border down to the Matlock area taking in parts of Nottingham and Mansfield, however our base is Hasland, near Chesterfield. We have a small apiary where we teach and groups of ‘newbees’ who can gain ‘hands-on’ experience before they have their own bees.

One of the Association’s main aims is education of both beekeepers and the public.

We run beginners courses each spring for beekeepersto-be as we believe it’s important to know how to manage the bees BEFORE doing the exciting part of buying the first hive and bees. Support is continued with mentoring and further training sessions and workshops.

Chesterfield & District Beekeeping Association

(CDBKA)

Many people don’t know the difference between honeybees and bumble bees which makes our volunteer swarm collectors very busy during the swarming season.

They are contacted usually via the BBKA interactive map. Swarm collecting provides an opportunity to share knowledge as people are usually very interested in what is happening with the bees.

At local summer fairs and shows we spend the day chatting to people about honeybees. One or two members also give talks and presentations to local schools and groups, sometimes with bees included!

During the season our apiary managers welcome members of the public to don a bee suit (which we loan them), open up the hives and invite them to take a closer look at our bees. Most find this closeness a little scary but fascinating.

Honeybees are our passion and this is what we want to share with the non-beekeeping public. Not so much to encourage them to keep bees themselves but to care about them, and help by planting the right flowers in their gardens, reducing their use of pesticides and understanding what bees and all other pollinators need.

For further information about CDBKA, contact the Secretary at kathy.cdbka@gmail.com For general information about honeybees, visit www.bbka.org.uk

More experienced members can expand their knowledge via practical and theory courses, with optional exams and assessments, supported by our own trainers and the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA) of which we are a member. Educating the public is a high priority too.

SUTTON-IN-ASHFEILD HIGH STREET MAP

A version of this month’s walk originally featured in the magazine in 2017, to commemorate the bicentenary of the Pentrich Revolution. The Pentrich and South Wingfield Revolution Group published a series of historical walks as part of the bicentenary. The original walk, along with 18 others can all be found on their website (www.pentrichrevolution.org.uk), along with a wealth of historical information and resources.

This walk should take you and your dog around 2 hours to complete. An undulating country walk on footpaths, lanes and roads. Care needed when crossing roads. There may be some uneven and muddy terrain, depending on the weather so please wear appropriate footwear. There can be some loose cattle on this walk, so please take care and as always, follow the countryside code, keeping dogs on leads where appropriate.

On 9th June 1817, over 300 men set out for Nottingham from villages on the Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire border.

They thought they were part of a ‘general rising’ to bring down an unjust and oppressive government. Many joined the rising from the Swanwick area, where discontent among miners and framework knitters had already been expressed in Luddite activity and an active Hampden Club.

4.5-mile circular walk from St Andrews Church, Swanwick

Start: Andrew’s Church, Derby Road, Swanwick.

Free car park across the road from St Andrew’s Church.

4.

From St Andrew’s Church walk down the road, The Green, (B6016) following the signs to the Conference Centre. Take the first turning to the right, Hayes Lane, and walk on, crossing the road to go up to the entrance to the Hayes Conference Centre. Here turn left, at the footpath sign, to follow the track up the hill. In 1817 Swanwick was a village of miners or stocking framework knitters who faced poverty and hunger. Reputed to be a centre of Luddite activity, there was much support for reform of Parliament called for by the Hampden Club, meeting at the Queen’s Head in Alfreton. We follow the route taken by men from Swanwick and Alfreton as they marched towards Codnor. They included ‘secret committee’ men, Edward Haslam and James Barnes, who marched at the rear with his gun, William Elliott and George Rawson who had brought bullets they had cast, and Laban Taylor at whose home Jeremiah Brandreth had stayed on 6th June.

Passing Hilltop Mink Farm on the right, continue until the track turns sharply. Go straight ahead over the stile, to follow the sign to Golden Valley. Follow the footpath straight ahead down the hillside. Go under the railway line. After 100 yards, right under the 2nd underpass, walk on and cross the railway line. Immediately after the railway line take left fork up through the trees. You pass the Midland Railway and the former Swanwick Station. On your right you see the former Brittain Pit, a colliery opened by the Butterley Company in 1827 and closed in 1946.

Past the Brittain Pit turn right at the junction of paths (taking Amber Valley Route 4). After a few yards turn left to go down the hill to cross two stiles in the valley. BEWARE of the barbed wire on the stiles.

Enter the field and follow the path up left along the hedge to reach a road. Cross over and continue ahead, alongside a second field to reach the Coach Road. This area is Butterley Park. The rebels came this way visiting houses and farms to take men and weapons. The home of Harriet Marriot was visited and a gun taken. The rebels marched on from here to reach Codnor where the main rebel party waited.

Turn right along the Coach Road, until you reach the white house. Below you is the tunnel of the Cromford Canal. From the now blocked tunnel in Golden Valley it continued under Butterley Park for 2,996 yards. It is the only tunnel of its kind in the world with an underground wharf, which served the Butterley works. This magnificent feat of engineering was built by the engineer William Jessop in 1794. See the remains of the two airshafts, each surrounded by an earth mound and trees, on the right of the road. Cavalry from the Chesterfield Troop of Yeomanry and pikemen waited here on 10th June to capture fleeing insurgents. Several hid in the Swanwick Woods

but were captured and joined 28 others who were taken to Derby Gaol that night.

5.

At the junction by the white house go straight ahead to pass the Police Headquarters on the left. Notice it says it is OK for authorised vehicles and pedestrians to go there. Butterley Hall, built in 1790, now within the Police HQ, was the home of Benjamin Outram, founder of the Butterley Iron works.

6.

Turn right and walk down the road to Derby Road at Butterley. On your left you will see the site of Butterley Works and the Gatehouse. The main body of marchers stopped here and demanded guns. The manager, Goodwin, and a few special constables refused to open the gates. Too weak to attack the Gatehouse the rebels left empty handed and marched on towards Codnor. Goodwin knew some of the men, who previously worked at Butterley, and gave evidence of their ‘character’ at the Derby Trials. See the plaque on the old Gate House of the works.

7.

Turn right along Derby Road. Pass the Midland Railway on your left, then after crossing the railway bridge take a signposted path on your right. Walk alongside a field with Butterley Grange on your left and railway off to the right. Continue ahead on the footpath and continue around Grange Farm. Turn left just before the signs for the Ripley Airfield then cross a stile and bear right up the hill towards The Hayes Conference Centre. There are often cattle here, so please take care, especially with dogs.

In 1817 Butterley Grange was the home of John Wright, a partner of Outram and Jessop at the iron works. The Hayes built in 1860, now a conference centre, was a POW camp for German officers in WW2, made famous by the film, ‘The One That Got Away’, of the one successful escape by a German officer.

8.

Passing the Conference Centre on your left you come back to Hilltop Mink Farm. Cross back over the stile on your left and turn right to return down the track to the entrance of Hayes Conference Centre and back into Swanwick. The march proved a tragedy for local men fleeing before soldiers at the Gilt Brook. Three from Swanwick and Alfreton were tried in Derby. German Buxton (31), miner, married with a daughter, originally from Wessington, was transported for life. Thomas Bettison (35), miner, transported for 14 years, as was Joseph Rawson (32) framework knitter. Among those arrested and imprisoned but later released were Anthony Elliott, John Hall and James Robinson.

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.

At the time of writing we are preparing for the first round of games which is due to take place on Saturday 25th September. New sticks have been broken-in during preseason and everyone will be looking forward to that first game with nervous excitement.

In preparation for the new season and to accomodate the continued growth of the club in recent years there have been some changes to the clubs training schedule for this season.

The increase in members has led to training

being spread over two evenings, with 1st & 2nd team training taking place on Wednesdays at 7.30pm and Club training, which is open to new starters, on Thursdays from 7pm to 8.30pm.

See below for how to contact the club if you want to find out more.

The club are really lucky to benefit from well organised, varied and enjoyable training sessions and the cost for this is covered by the members annual fees, which have been kept low at just £40/year for adults and £20 for juniors.

So, there has never been a better time to get into hockey, get back into hockey or to give it a try. If you want to know more please get in touch!

LOCAL BUSINESS

FLAMECARE – CUSTOMER FOCUSED, COMMUNITY DRIVEN AND CARING

Chesterfield-based plumbing and heating engineers, Flame Care, has gone the extra mile to support NHS Heroes, the over-60s and the most vulnerable over the last year or so.

W

HAT makes any business stand out from the rest? The answer can be as simple as the level of care and service offered to its customers and the broader community.

Family-run and independent, Flame Care has certainly ticked all the boxes in terms of ‘going over and beyond the call of duty’ during the challenging times of the past eighteen months. During 2021, for example, this highlyrespected company has offered all NHS staff free maintenance cover for boiler and central heating maintenance up until the end of this year.

“When you consider how members of staff from the NHS have put their lives on the line for the rest of us,” said Flame Care Managing Director, Simon Fletcher. “We felt that this was the very least we could do in return.”

Flame Care’s cover plans are comprehensive and offer ultimate peace of mind. They include an annual free gas boiler service, same-day call out, free parts and labour guarantee and no excess. And they knock spots off the British Gas’ cover plans in terms of cost! The over-60s are looked after too! With dedicated care plans for sexagenarians and above, there are discounts to be had for being that bit older.

Flame Care displays all the hallmarks of an independent, family-run business – unflinching integrity, meticulous attention to detail, unrivalled customer service, first-class workmanship, and longevity.

Founded by Simon Fletcher on 16th March 2003, Flame Care now boasts a portfolio of over 2000 loyal and satisfied customers, who have all taken up the fantastic cover plan offer. The beauty of these cover plans is that you don’t even need your boiler

or central heating system to have been installed by Flame Care in the first place!

The company is a Derbyshire Trusted Trader as well as a Which? Trusted Trader. This means that it is continuously vetted to ensure that it meets the most exacting standards of workmanship and service.

The reviews on the Trusted Trader website tell their own story. Simply take a look at the stream of superb, five-star feedbacks, and excellence screams out at you.

Some of the staff have been here from the start. Two long-standing and highlyprofessional engineers are Sam Hudson and Sean Jones. There are 13 staff in total and there’s a great sense of teamwork.

Sales manager, Vicky High, and office manager, Kate Bower,

keep the administrative wheels turning and they receive incredible back up from the engineers, who can be called upon at any time to sort out a boiler or central heating system that has gone horribly wrong.

As well as offering cover plans, of course, Flame Care undertakes full central heating installations and boiler upgrades. As an Ideal Boiler accredited installer, they have access to some of the highest quality products on the market, with Ideal boilers coming with a twelve-year warranty.

Supporting the local community is in the veins of this company. Plans are afoot to organise cake and coffee delivery as part of the Macmillan Coffee Morning due to take place in September.

Gardener’s Calendar

It may feel like we’re heading towards less activity in the garden, but there’s actually loads to do this month.

Tidying things up before winter is a given, but some areas deserve more attention.

Pot up tender perennials so you can put them somewhere out of the reach of frost.

Rake leaves from ponds and clear out debris and weeds. Leave all this on the side of the pond to allow creatures to climb out and back into the water. If you have tender water plants get rid of any dead leaves and sink the plant into a bucket or tray of mud, leaving in a protected light place over winter.

If you want to plant conifer hedges or shrubs which keep their leaves over winter, do it now while the soil is still warm.

Top Tip

For winter and spring colour plant up winter pansies, primulas, cyclamen and winter heathers. Hopefully you’ll have your daffs and crocuses in by now, but there’s still time to put in lily, allium and crocosmia bulbs for spring. Tulips go in next month.

Take saucers away from under pots or containers and raise them up on crocks or feet to prevent plants becoming waterlogged and minimizing the dangers of the containers cracking from frost.

Clustering pots also helps protect them from ice damage.
