Welcome to the historic Moorgreen Country Show, a showcase of the area’s rich rural heritage which this year marks its 161st anniversary. Enjoy the Moorgreen experience, two days of entertainment and education on August 29th and 30th packed in to a 40 acre Showground at Watnall.
The Shire Show (Monday) will feature more of these gentle giants and as well as viewing a display of Shire ploughing (Sunday), visitors will be given the opportunity to try their hand at turning the turf behind a horse pulled plough. It is 70 years since the Battle of Britain and the Show organisers have arranged for Their Finest Hour Group to display their Battle of Britain 70th Anniversary tribute at Moorgreen. It features a full size Hurricane Fighter replica and a Battle Bus packed with exhibitions, artefacts and displays.The team are dressed as WW II pilots and WAAFS and bring with them Smart cars painted in battle colours will also be on display. The Show’s ever growing reputation has led to its selection by the British Gladioli Society to host its National Show. It is a great honour for Moorgreen and the Horticultural Marquee is sure to look a picture. Alongside these glorious blooms will be Floral Art displays – this year’s theme is “Remembering the Day” - Vegetables, Home Baking and Children’s Crafts.

Wildlife of the World could easily be a theme of the Show as there are animals from far and wide, everything from reindeer to scorpions. In the Wildlife Petting Zoo Display area visitors can see snakes, lizards and hissing cockroaches and they can also handle meerkats, ducks and chickens.The interactive educational display also includes rabbits and guinea pigs while outside will be a fabulous selection of birds of prey. The exotic theme continues with Pollys Parrots Roadshow the only one of its kind in the UK. Described as unpredictable, entertaining and educational these colourful, charismatic birds – all of which have been rescued - stage three shows a day. Of a more domesticated nature are the Cattle, Sheep and Goats in the Livestock show (Monday) which always draws championship winning breeds. Back to the wildside with GRS Falconry allow visitors to get close and personal with hawks, buzzards, falcons and owls and also provide an insight into the art of falconry. 2010 sees the debut of the Moorgreen Working Truck Show. Around 100 of these giants of the road will be in the show organised by the Derwent Valley Working Truck Group who, over the last three years, have raised around £15,000 for charity.The lorries may be immaculate but they are all in every day use.The group’s display also features the Michelin Formula One Race Simulator with full size car. Moorgreen will also offer the chance to see Toy Story as you’ve never seen it before – on horseback. Six magnificent Shires will dance to Toy Story music ridden by characters in Toy Story costume.

The Show’s ever growing reputation has led to its selection by the British Gladioli Society to host its National Show. It is a great honour for Moorgreen and the Horticultural Marquee is sure to look a picture. Alongside these glorious blooms will be Floral Art displays – this year’s theme is “Remembering the Day” - Vegetables, Home Baking and Children’s Crafts. With over 200 ridden and showing classes for Horses & Ponies, the equestrian area will be a hive of activity over the two days as will the morning sessions in the Main Ring which hosts Unaffiliated Show Jumping. From four legs to four wheels, the mechanical sections look set to be the best ever. Classic Cars, Vintage Tractors, period Ambulances & Fire Engines and Steam Engines will all be on display, hopefully with Moorgreen’s first ever Steam Lorry.
The Show’s talented Chinese style vegetable carver returns to the Village Green tent where you can try your hand at basket weaving, fish fly tying and more. There is a new heart stopping ride in the Fun Fair plus a variety of other rides and amusements across the Showground. The Fur & Feather classes incorporate shows for Pets and Pigeons (Sunday) and Guinea Pigs and Poultry, Waterfowl & Eggs (Monday) with added displays from the British Ferret Club. Plus elsewhere on the Showground Alpacas, Bloodhounds and Reindeer. Savour the flavour of locally produced food in the Regional Food Hall. Enjoy the pipers and dancers of the Seaforth Highlanders. Stop press! Show organisers are hoping to offer rides in a 17.5 ton armoured assault carrier.These thrilling rides will be offered by Nottingham based Tanktastic as part of their fund raising for Help for Heroes. And for the first time visitors will be able to tour the site on the brand new Moorgreen Land Train.

w o h s e h t f o n fu John “Polly” Pollard has over 25 years experience of rescuing parrots. He uses this fund of knowledge to present what is described as an unpredictable, entertaining and educational parrot show – the only one of its kind in the UK. Throughout the day he will be on hand to explain the sorry tales of some of the birds past lives but now live life to the full. Its all change at show time however when several come out on harness and lead to show off their skills during an interesting and informative 30 minute routine. Show times on both days are 11.30am, 1.00pm and 3.00pm.
Coinciding with the release of Toy Story 3 a brand new attraction has been booked for this year’s Moorgreen Show. Waldburg Shires are producing the “Toy Story Musical Ride of the Shire Horses” together with the opening of “Woody’s Activity Yard.” The group has choreographed a brand new musical ride to the foot tapping tunes of Disney’s Toy Story. Six of the magnificent shire horses, handsomely decorated and ridden by riders dressed as characters from the iconic children’s film will take to the main ring. As part of the overall display the group also manage Woody’s Activity Yard, an interactive area for children of all ages open throughout the day on both days. Junior sheriffs can sharpen up their skills in activities such as lassoing, panning for gold and the game of horseshoes. Everyone is invited to join Woody, Jessie and friends for a fun filled day.
The first ever Working Truck Show at Moorgreen looks set to be a popular new feature of the show. Sponsored by Heage Road Vehicle Services Ltd and MAN Trucks around 70 trucks are expected to attend the debut event. In 2006 a group of like minded people got their heads together and formed the Derwent Valley Working Truck Group to help promote the haulage industry at more local events rather than the expensive and very commercialised national events around the UK. Their appearance at Moorgreen will be the fourth such event they have attended. During the previous three years they have raised around £15,000 for charitable causes, notably the Ripley youngster Edward Bright who lost his limbs to meningitis. The Moorgreen display will feature a special truck ring in which the large scale recovery of a simulated road accident with emergency service vehicles will be used. Part of the show will also include the Michelin Formula One race simulator. MAN Trucks will have their display unit on show. A spokesman for the Derwent Valley group added,” Many of these trucks will be very highly polished but all are everyday working lorries.”
To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, Moorgreen Show has booked a special tribute display. It comprises a full size replica Hurricane fighter which will be staffed by “pilots and WAAFs” in period uniforms adding that extra authenticity to photo opportunities. In addition there will be a Battle of Britain Exhibition bus packed with information, artefacts, memorabilia and an audio visual display. Completing the display will be a number of event cars “disguised” as fighter aircraft. The whole package has been put together by Their Finest Hour who work partially for the RAF Fighter Pilots Association and the RAF Benevolent Fund.

Newthorpe Fly Tyers and Flies by Wendy at the 2009 Moorgreen Show. They meet every week during autumn, winter and spring.The teaching by Wendy Gibson fully licensed A.P.G.A.I. Instructor, ranges from complete beginners to more accomplished tyers. At the shows they demonstrate the art of fly tying from the most basic fly to the more complicated salmon flies. Visitors can try their hand under the guidance of our National and International fly tyer Wendy Gibson or with any of the tyers on the stand. They have a number of skilled tyers both young and old who can give guidance. “We can give help on all aspects of fly fishing and Ray Gibson is on hand to talk about fly rods, reels and associated equipment. Our new sessions start in September. Pick up a leaflet for details or ask a tyer”.
The Chinese passion of carving realistic flowers out of vegetables to be then used as table decorations first appeared at Moorgreen two years ago. It was staged in the horticultural marquee but for 2010 the Show organisers have transferred the display to the Village Green Marquee. Mr Lao chisan will again be demonstrating his skills using both western and oriental vegetables. His intended floral displays will include arrangements of: cherry blossom tulip and arum lily dahlia “jomanda” camellia and the epitome of a summer garden – a rose arrangement. On both days visitors will be able to marvel at his remarkable talent during displays starting at 11.00am,1.00pm and 3.00pm.
Worcestershire based GRS Falconry will be helping the Show get off to a flying start. They provide both static and flying displays with around 20 birds in total including hawks, buzzards, falcons and owls from around the world.They invite visitors to “get up close and personal” with the birds on static display allowing families hands on experience with lots of photo opportunities. During the flying displays there will be a commentary explaining how the group train and hunt with birds of prey. One of the most varied wildlife displays in the UK is presented by Bryan Patterson who returns to Moorgreen for a second year. The son of a gamekeeper he developed an interest in wildlife at an early age. After a spell in the construction industry he left to form Wildlife Displays in 1978 offering falconry and birds of prey displays for village fetes and the like.Today he is one of the most respected falconers in the country. As his collection of unusual animals expanded so did request from show organisers to talk about his collection.This has developed over the years into an animal lecture service to schools and other interested groups. His display will include snakes, spiders, insects, meerkats, kune kune pigs, pygmy goats, rabbits, guinea pigs and the like many of which can be handled during the show – a rare hands on experience for many people.

A plea is being by Animal Accident Rescue Unit (AARU) for financial and practical support. - The Nottinghamshire- based Charity provides an emergency transport and rehoming service for sick, injured or vulnerable animals and birds. One sad example of the animals helped is that of Rosie, a young female staffy dog that was abandoned in Nottingham recently. The Charity’s vet diagnosed a serious condition in both eyes and known as ‘cherry eye’, a painful condition caused by the prolapse of the gland of the third eyelid. This condition needs surgery to rectify it, and ease Rosie’s suffering, and the costs can be as much as £1000. Such expense may have been the reason why Rosie was abandoned but surgery is needed very soon, to avoid further deterioration of her eyes. AARU welfare officer, Kate Lee, stated,“It’s quite tragic as Rosie is otherwise healthy and will make a fantastic pet. Currently being cared for, in a home environment by John, a Charity fosterer, Rosie has proved to be a loyal, obedient, dog who loves to play and be fussed; making her popular with those who encounter her.” Kate continued by explaining it is not just donations that are required but also volunteers. Animal Accident Rescue Unit has no central base and volunteers work from their own homes. Rescued animals are placed in volunteers’ homes and cared for until they are either claimed by their owners or placed for adoption. Volunteers such as John play a vital role in the Charity’s work. For instance, AARU occasionally have dogs needing a foster home where there are no other dogs and/or cats in the home and they would be particularly interested in hearing from anyone who could offer such a foster home for a dog. You may have had dogs in the past but feel that you don’t want to commit yourself to caring for a dog on a full-time basis. In which case, being a Charity dog fosterer could be an ideal role for you. There are however many roles people can choose to help with within AARU such as drivers, telephone operatives, fund raisers, admin and fostering, and people can commit what time they choose and when. All offers of help are gratefully received and for those unable to undertake a practical role are invited to become members, to maintain the Charity’s vital, life-saving role into the future”, added Kate. Anyone interested in making a donation or volunteering can call the Charity’s Helpline number (0115) 9321555,, emailing admin@aaru.org.uk or writing to AARU, PO Box 5414, Burton Joyce, Nottingham NG14 5DT. Please visit the web site www.animalaccident.org.uk for stories and photos of animals that have been saved.

Jack is a 13 year old Boxer boy currently in the care of the Animal Accident Rescue Unit, Nottingham. Jack was sadly picked up by the dog warden as a stray and taken to the pound. It seems he has been abandoned just at the time in his life when he needs love, security and comfort the most.He was not coping with life in kennels and so AARU offered to help and fortunately he’s now safe in the care of one of our foster homes. He is a gentle old soul who makes very little demand on anyone. He doesn’t like other dogs or cats so needs to be the only pet in the home. He adores children who are one of his great loves…along with sleeping! Due to his age his eyesight isn’t fantasic, he may be a little deaf (although that can be selective!) and he appreciates not being left too long as he may need to pop out for a call of nature - sounds like all of us of a certain age!! - but he is generally fit and healthy. He travels well in a car and walks well on the lead. Jack is available for adoption or as a permanent foster. Everyone who meets Jack absolutely loves him.Have you room for a gorgeous ‘old geezer’ in your life? If you are interested in oferring a home to Jack please contact Kate on: 07914 058618 or Email: admin@aaru.org.uk They would consider long-term foster care for Jack and continue to be responsible for his veterinary treatment, in return for an offer of a safe and loving retirement home for this dear dog.

If you look back fondly to your school days or often wish you had paid more attention in French class, then why not find out what courses are on offer. There are plenty of local nurseries with facilities to accomodate your little ones whilst you take to retraining your brain cells. The summer holidays can be a great time to spend quality time with your family but after several weeks of playing video games, running around the park and watching ‘Zingzillas’ every afternoon you and yours are surely ready to be parted again. Packing them off to school all fresh from the holidays and raring to go, it’s now time to reflect on what it is you can do for yourself. There are a huge range of courses for you to choose from - whether its for pleasure or for career-enhancing qualifications, new skills can help you get a better job or take up a new hobby. Courses range to suit all types of budgets, with some courses even available free - check out the local colleges and further education centres for advice. And of course it’s time for the kids to return to school, we’ve resourses on our doorstep to add that extra push to your childs education with classes available after school, these can prove vital in developing your child that bit further and giving them that extra edge when they head back in to the classroom. Even for adults the prospect of a return to education can be daunting if it has been a long time since you have embarked on any formal training. Parents, on the other hand, are quite likely secretly looking forward to waving goodbye to their child at the school gates and breathing a sigh of relief at getting some 'me time' back. For an adult, the approach to new learning will need a degree of organisation and preparation. Colleges can often help with advice on fitting your learning successfully into a busy life.There are also resources on the internet which can offer specific tips on organising your time and drawing up schedules. One of the most important aspects of embarking on a college course is having a positive outlook on the final outcome before you start. By being positive and seeing it as a another step along the way to achieving your personal goals you are more likely to achieve success in your pass grade. Such is the flexibility in the adult learning market, courses can fit around the hectic demands of your life. Evening classes, home study, Open University or the full-blown experience of going back to university are all on offer for prospective mature students. "There are a lot more options than people think," Elizabeth Underwood says. "Education organisations recognise that adults have family and work commitments, and they are sympathetic enough to offer courses at times when more people may be free."
breezemagazine 16
What may cause some concern is how to fund your course. But don't worry, Elizabeth Underwood says - almost all circumstances are catered for. There's never been a better time to enrol yourself on a course, but there are just a couple of key dates to be aware of. The majority of course entry forms will need to be completed by September or January. Other than that, there's little to hold you back. "Increasingly the world of education is becoming a consumer service, and everything is being tailored to their needs," says Underwood. "Once you know what you want to do, it's extremely likely that there's something out there that will suit you down to the ground." Sara Mullings, a physiotherapist, is a mother of two who wanted to develop her management skills, providing more scope for her to move into a senior role as her career progressed. Initially she was a little concerned about how the course would affect her work, but the institution she studied at was very accommodating. "The most important criterion for me was that it had to fit in with my work, so being able to attend sessions during selected afternoons and evenings meant that it didn't take up too much clinical time. "I signed up for the first phase, which led to an initial certificate, and this was a great way of acclimatising myself to the new regime." Sara also praises the attitude of her tutors and the way her course was managed: "One has all sorts of self-doubts and sensitivities, and I might not have done the course at all without such a phased approach." Why don’t you give it a try - you never know you might enjoy it the second time around!.

Older kids may feel that this is yet ‘another year at school’ which can leave them lacking some sense of urgency but once there, rucksack and pencil case in hand, packed lunch all parcelled up and ready to go, the momentum builds but so can the anxiety. How you both behave will depend largely on the child and the year they're in.The 'been there, done that, got the t-shirt' generation are unlikely to get too blubby and teary, but it's still a possibility. For a child's first ever day at school, reassure them you will come back later, then calmly say goodbye and walk away. Sticking around for too long and dragging things out is only likely to upset you both even more. Any tears that do end up rolling are just a normal reaction to a big change and won't last long. Even if your child is just starting a new year and already knows the score, getting them back into the swing of things before the new term starts can be a huge help. Parenting experts warn that rediscovering routine can be a bit of a shock to the system and that gently reintroducing a timetable of getting up, mealtimes and bedtimes for the last week before term starts is generally a good idea. You can also prepare for potential sources of anxiety over the coming school year, such as big exams, so that fear and dread doesn't end up ruining what's left of their summer holiday. You might also need to reassess if there are any problems from the last term that might still be relevant, like bullying. Remember that even if your child is going back to school, rather than starting a new one, it can still be a worrying and daunting prospect. Whatever their age and circumstances, certain practical things can really help boost your confidence, make you more independent and help you or them settle in. Children who have attended play groups or nursery schools generally have fewer problems settling in on their first day at school, but your child can do just as well if he or she hasn't attend one, provided you give them plenty of opportunity to interact with others.Try to encourage your child to have friends over to play and let them go to play with other children, with and without you. One of the hardest lessons your child will learn at school is sharing. They will have to get used to the idea that they cannot always have and do exactly what they want, whenever they want. Again, nursery and play school helps develop these social skills, but they can learn to share toys and play fair with adults too. No matter how many things you read and how hard you try to make things go smoothly without a glitch, don’t be too hard on yourself if it does all go a bit pear-shaped on the day. With lots of love, care and trust, as well as effective communication and some sensible forward-planning, you can make sure that first day school nerves don't give you - and your child - nightmares.
breezemagazine 18
BOX OUT - FIRST DAY NERVE BUSTERS • Starting school can be nerve-jangling enough for your child without you turning into a nervous wreck as well. Don't turn their first day into a negative experience or make your child any more worried and upset than the might be already by passing on your anxieties. • Talk about all the exciting things your child will be able to do now he or she is back at school. Remind him or her about all the things they loved doing last term and all the friends they haven't seen for a while who they'll be able to catch up with. • Be as reassuring as possible and tell them you'll be looking forward to hearing all about their day when you see them later on. • Make sure your child goes to bed at the usual time the night before their first day back and gets some quality shut-eye. Being tired is a bad start to any day, let alone a stressful one. • Don't alter your routine the day before, as this could be unsettling. • Be prompt when you come to collect them. Your child's confidence will be shattered if you are even five minutes late and they could start to panic or get upset.

Total Tag Rugby‘s aim is to fill a void in the child development sector by delivering professional non-contact rugby coaching to boys and girls between the ages of 3 & 11. Its founder, Colin Booth is an RFU qualified coach and a father to two young boys. His two boys were the inspiration for Total Tag Rugby. Firstly, his eldest son is a keen rugby player, yet at 8 years old is not looking forward to the transition to contact Rugby. It was when he voiced the now immortal words “I wish I could just keep playing tag” over the dinner table that the first seed of the business was planted. The Saturday sessions for children between the ages of 5 & 11 will give them a chance to play tag for an extra 2 years and allow them to be better equipped to move into contact rugby at a later age. The friendly and fun environment is the perfect place for children to experience a new sport, make new friends and get regular exercise. At 3 years old, his youngest son is a budding rugby star who loves nothing more than running around with his foam rugby ball! From seeing this and with the involvement of experienced nursery managers, a pre-school rugby program was developed. For children aged 3 to 5,“Tag Tots” develops and enhances a child’s basic motor skills and assists with a child’s Early Years Foundation Stage Development.The program focuses on activities which develop balance, co-ordination and agility.This is encouraged through fun, exciting and energetic running, jumping, throwing and catching games. More information on Total Tag Rugby can be found by visiting www.totaltagrugby.com

l a e p p a e z e e br Communities have a right to live without fear and in an environment which is free from crime. Unfortunately, some people may be reluctant to approach the police directly with information about criminal activity. This may be due to fear of being identified by the perpetrators and the possible consequences of this, or there may be other reasons for not wishing to get involved such as not wanting to go to court. Crimestoppers offers a safe way for members of the public to give information about crime without disclosing their identity. Crimestoppers is only interested in what you know, not who you are. Crimestoppers is an independent, crime-fighting charity, it is not part of the police. Founded in 1988, the charity is a UK-wide organisation which offers a unique, 100% anonymous route for passing on information about crimes. Anyone can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Calls are not recorded and phone numbers are not captured. Information is screened for anything that may enable identification before it is passed on to the police. Anonymous information can also be given via the Crimestoppers website, www.crimestoppers-uk.org, through using an untraceable online form. Rewards can be offered for information that leads to an arrest and charge through a process which retains the anonymity of the caller. With the support of the police, Crimestoppers’ statistics are impressive. Since its inception, over 1,164,772 actionable pieces of information have been received; over 100,256 people have been arrested and charged; over £112 million worth of goods have been recovered; and over £189 million worth of drugs have been seized. Actionable information refers to useful information that can be passed to the police which they can act on to make arrests and charges. So, if you have any information about a crime or someone who may have been involved in criminal activity, please do not ignore it, ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111

The National Gardens Scheme was founded in 1927 to raise money for the nurses of the Queen's Nursing Institute (QNI) by opening gardens of quality and interest to the public. The simple, but radical idea was to ask individuals to open up private gardens for 'a shilling a head'. At that time garden visiting was already a well established pastime (as seen in Pride and Prejudice), but only for a privileged few. In the first year 609 gardens raised over ÂŁ8,000. A network of volunteer County Organisers was set up and by 1931 over 1,000 private gardens were open. After the Second World War, the National Health Service took on the District Nursing Service, but money was still needed to care for retired nurses and invest in training so the NGS continued as before. In 1948 the NGS offered joined forces with the National Trust to restore and preserve important gardens. In return, the National Trust opened many of its most prestigious gardens for the NGS. Despite massive inflation in the post-war years, the entrance fee was held at one shilling. After a great deal of persuasion, more realistic entrance fees were introduced in the 1970's and the gardens began to raise significant donations. In 1980 The National Gardens Scheme Charitable Trust was established as an independent charity, with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother as Patron and Her Royal Highness Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester as President. In 1984 Macmillan Cancer Relief joined the list of beneficiary charities. In the years that followed other charities joined including Marie Curie Cancer Care, Help the Hospices and Crossroads Caring for Carers. Over the years the gardens have changed in size and style and NGS now has thousands of smaller gardens. However several 'Pioneer' gardens still open for us and each year some rejoin under new ownership. visit www.ngs.org.uk for more information

Further details: The Courtyard Garden at Holme Pierrepont was laid out in circa 1875 as a rose garden, with an elaborate box hedge parterre, possibly by Nesfield.The hedges are gradually being renovated keeping the original design. In the spring the beds are filled with jewel colours of tulips, and in summer a profusion of lavender.Today five of the rose beds have been replaced by herbaceous borders to give interest through the seasons with a succession of flowering plants including:- geraniums, thalictrum, astrantia, dahlias, cannas, sedum, asters and anemones, with verbena and fennel threading throughout.The most striking feature of the East Garden is an avenue of clipped yews bounded on one side in the Spring by a bulb meadow containing snowdrops, daffodils and fritillaries. A newly developed spring walk, takes you round the garden past many more spring bulbs, including the native Tulipa Sylvestris, and trees and shrubs for winter interest. Continuing back towards the house there are beds and plantings of roses, trees, shrubs, grass and herbaceous perennials to give colour, texture and form in every season of the year.

A gravel garden inspired by Beth Chatto`s car park, is now in place in the front garden and from spring through to autumn this area is full of flowers and interest. Round the edges are either their own or neighbours` large trees so there are many plantings suitable for shade to show that there is no area which cannot be planted. Rarer plants are of interest, but only if they grow without too much trouble so plants are always being trialled and later propagated for the nursery if they are deemed garden worthy. Pulmonarias, Epimediums and other rare woodlanders (Trillium, Cardamine, etc,) are in evidence throughout the garden in spring and later the Crinodendron puts on its scintillating display of deep pink lanterns. A new privy garden is being developed and it is here in the south facing site that the massed Agapanthus display can be seen, along with many other long flowering perennials such as Penstemon, Aster and, interspersed a la Christopher Lloyd, unusual annuals to take the display on into autumn. Ornamental onions are often used as border edgers, whilst Pokers in many different shades are placed to give an imposing vertical statement.The beds are full, the planting relaxed and artistic.
