Peaks of Fame Sir Joseph Whitworth To people living around Darley Dale ‘The Whitworth’ means either their impressive village institute or the local hospital. Both owe their existence to Sir Joseph Whitworth, who lived at Darley for the last 15 years of his life and whose name is of far wider renown. Born at Stockport in 1803, Whitworth was apprenticed in his young teens to an uncle in a Derbyshire spinning mill. From this early introduction to industry, the youth deplored imprecise, poorly designed machinery, factors which were to motivate the course of his life. By the age of twenty, Whitworth was working in Manchester as a machinist. In 1825, as a newly married man, he

found employment in London under the highly regarded tool-making engineer, Henry Maudsley. Maudsley was one of the first engineers to take an interest in standardisation of machine parts and precision in the manufacture of screws. His ideals were not so much adopted by his promising pupil as reflected in his painstaking work. Whitworth became intent on developing a true plane surface, free of the imperfections which caused friction and hampered the movement of mechanical tools. The significance of this may be difficult to appreciate today but industry was quick to recognize the value of Whitworth’s achievement.

Gold medal In 1833 he moved back to Manchester to establish his own business as a machine toolmaker. A number of his products were patented, many achieved by redesigning existing ones to give unprecedented precision. Other manufacturers were already producing an extensive range of screws, but to no common specification. Within 20 to 30 years, the Whitworth standard screw thread was in general use. His screw-cutting lathe was one of more than 20 Whitworth products shown at the Great Exhibition of 1851. Whitworth gained a record number of awards including a coveted gold medal for his measuring device, accurate to onemillionth of an inch. This proved to be one of the most important advances of the Industrial Revolution. He went on to standardise gauges, to immediate acclaim, and might have expected equally prompt recognition in the next field to which he applied himself. At the request of the Army Ordnance Board in 1854, Whitworth undertook production of the Enfield rifle. Inevitably the existing weapon fell far short of his approval and he developed a far superior rifle. Yet it was

to be 10 years before the Whitworth 0.45 calibre was accepted for military use. Long delays also preceded orders for his innovative rifled cannon – the inflexible attitude of its designer repeatedly handicapped negotiations with the Board. Whitworth also found an appreciative overseas market for his artillery, particularly in France and in both opposing armies of the American Civil War. His work in armaments culminated in his last major patent, in 1874, for the manufacture of ‘Whitworth Steel’ which produced far safer weapons than the earlier hard steel. Continued on Page 6

Great War. Graham said, “I have information and letters about my grandfather who was killed near Ypres when he was 21 and I can still remember things about him that I heard in conversations between my father and grandmother. I’m sure there must be other people in the Wirksworth area who have similar stories, photographs or other memorabilia of relatives. We want to put these local stories at the heart of the play and acknowledge the parts played not only by those who, sadly, lost their lives but also those who survived. We’re also interested in the contributions of women and families at home, women who perhaps worked in munitions factories or

joined the Land Army or helped the war effort in other ways. We’ll treat any information we receive sensitively and only include it in the play with the permission of the people who provide it. It may be that there are whole stories that we can use, or it may be that a little information will help us add a bit more to a name on a war memorial. We’ll use drama, dance, documentary evidence and music to recreate the war years, not to glorify or celebrate but to pay tribute to the stories of local people”.

STUDENTS HAVE WORK BAKEWELL TRAVEL EXPERIENCE ALL BAGGED UP I N D E P E N D E N T

Students from Buxton College have joined forces with the local council and the Police to clean up the streets and improve safety this winter. High Peak Borough Council organised the Neat and Tidy event after students on the Learning for Living and Work course highlighted an issue with leaves collecting in kerbsides and on the pavements and were concerned that they would become slippy during icy periods. Five of the students, who have learning difficulties, took part in the clean-up on Friday alongside local councillors, the Council’s community safety and street scene teams and the Police. Councillor Anthony McKeown, executive member for community services at the Council, said: “The idea to clean up the leaves from the streets around the college came from the students themselves and they’ve done a fantastic job. Events like this show what a difference working in partnership can make to the local community.

students to gain this sort of experience and help equip them for life after college.” High Peak Mayor, Councillor Tony Kemp, joined the students on the day. He said: “The enthusiasm from the students was terrific. Well done to all who took part in the organisation and on the day.” Around 15 bags of leaves were removed, leaving the streets around the Buxton campus looking spick and span. Lecturer Julie Shaw said the event was valuable in offering the students work experience and helping prepare them for employment. “We’ve already taken part in some work with the Police where the students helped to deliver safety advice leaflets to households and we’re keen to build on this by arranging as much reallife work experience as we can. “This clean-up event has been great – the students really enjoyed getting involved and we’re looking forward to continuing to work with the Council and the Police on similar events in the New Year.”

FREE CHRISTMAS TREE RECYCLING IN THE DALES

Until the end of January Derbyshire Dales District Council is helping local people recycle their real Christmas trees. All residents have to do is place the tree at the edge of their property on their usual green/recycling day collection. Any trees over 5ft in length must be broken/sawn down to a manageable size, with decorations and plant pots removed. Alternatively, trees can be taken to the nearest household waste recycling centre, where they will be composted along with other garden materials. Plain Christmas cards and wrapping paper can be included in residents' kerbside cardboard and paper recycling to be collected by the District Council’s contractor Serco. Foil-backed cards and paper should not be included, but placed in general household waste grey bins or black sacks. Derbyshire Dales residents can use the online postcode search at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk /waste to check on their collection cycle, where they can also download and view their 2014 collection calendar. Anyone without online access who needs assistance can call the District Council’s Waste Helpline on 01629 761122.

VOLUNTEER RANGERS DONATE PRIZE MONEY TO HEALTH WALKS Peak District National Park volunteer rangers were delighted to receive a certificate and £1,000 to help people with health problems to go walking in the countryside. The presentation came after the Peak District’s bighearted band of nearly 300 volunteer rangers was named National Parks UK Volunteer Group of the Year for their work over the past 20 years in leading health walks for people with physical or mental health problems. The £1,000 prize-money will be used to help re-start Next Steps Walks which had to cease when funding came to an end after NHS re-structuring earlier this year. Next Steps Walks, run in partnership with Bakewell and Eyam Community Transport, are for people with enough confidence and strength to graduate to regular ranger-guided walks but who still need transport to get to them. National Park health walks organiser Christina Porter said: “I’m extremely grateful to the volunteer rangers for their support for this cause. It will mean that we’ll be able to provide transport for people to attend an additional 10 walks in 2014.

Volunteer rangers left to right Matthew Pitt, Alan Keen and Pete Wardle represented nearly 300 fellow volunteers when they received the National Parks UK Volunteer Group of the Year certificate from Mary Bagley, Peak District National Park assistant director for enterprise and field services (2nd right). On the left is Christina Porter, who co-ordinates the health walks

“Many of our rangerguided walks are easy enough for people with lesssevere health problems to tackle, and it’s often only transport issues that prevent people from joining them.” Retired teacher Audrey Foster, 67, of Darley Dale, has been going on the walks since 1996 after a bout of manic depression. Now suffering from polymyalgia and having to use two sticks, she still loves to go on health walks as often as

MAKE A DIFFERENCE Come and Sing in 2014

What will you do in 2014? During recent years thousands of people, many of them being of the male species have found their voices and started singing. Thanks to the all male group, Only Men Aloud and Gareth Malone with his TV series, ‘Sing While You Work’, men, boys, firemen and women, personnel from Citi Bank, employees of P&O Ferries, Sainsbury’s and Manchester Airport have all been introduced to the joys of making music through singing. So what will you do different in 2014? In the last four years more than forty men, living in the Peak District, Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Greater Manchester, Yorkshire and Cheshire have chosen to become a part of one of the fastest growing, forward thinking, progressive, male choruses in the country. During 2013 Tideswell Male Voice Choir performed to audiences totalling more than seven thousand, from Derbyshire to Cornwall. 2014 will see the choir producing a new CD, touring South Wales, performing in venues up and down the country including Buxton Opera House and the beautiful open theatre in the stunning setting of Gawsworth Hall. The choir welcomes new members throughout the year but specifically NOW as we commence rehearsals for the coming performance season. So, what will you do to change your life in 2014? Here is a personal invitation to every man to come along to our rehearsal premises, The Old Grammar School, Tideswell, situated in the grounds of the ‘Cathedral of the Peaks’, on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings at 7pm as from the 14th January 2014. Our members age from 18 years upwards and everyone is welcome.

twice a month between February and November. “The health walks have been invaluable to me,” she said. “Apart from the exercise they offer companionship and they enable us to get to places we’d never normally visit.

“Most of us have medical problems, some are in their 80s, so transport is essential for us to get to the isolated meeting-points. I’m very pleased the rangers’ donation will enable the Next Steps walks to continue in 2014.”

Members of Ashover Church pre-school ‘Acorns’ group have honoured ‘a special group of ladies’ with a surprise Christmas present. They have been presented with a full-colour, twelve-photograph calendar depicting the activities of the youngsters at key times in the year. The presentation was designed not only to mark the tenth anniversary of the Acorns next June but also to recognize the work of the ladies who helped to launch and grow the children’s group into what has become one of the most successful church activities. The presentation was made during Sunday’s Christingle service at All Saints by Zoe Renshaw who co-ordinated the team behind the calendar plan

and who described the volunteer helpers as “a special group of ladies”. Recipients were: Janet Bonsall, Christine Glossop, Rosemary Blakesley, Marianne Saxton, Shirley Clarke, Julia Haynes, Ruth Russell, Anne Eyley, Joan Marrison, Sarah Hillard, Brenda Shaw, Aileen Taylor, Susan Lawrence and Viv Lord. Janet Bonsall told the Acorns team: “This is a really wonderful and totally unexpected surprise.There is something very special about Ashover Acorns, and all who meet there are very blessed.” There was a special thank-you presentation to church member Ron Eyley who produced the photographs. Young members of the

CHARITY SHOP CALLS FOR DONATIONS The Matlock Mind shop urges local residents to resolve to do something charitable this New Year, by making a resolution to donate some time as a shop volunteer. This will help Mind to continue its work to support the one in four people who will experience mental distress in 2014. Every year 60% of the population give up New Year’s resolutions before January is out, as unrealistic goals prove too challenging. So this year, Mind calls for Matlock residents to set an achievable target and simply resolve to commit to help their local Mind shop on a regular basis. Andrew Vale, managing director of Mind Shops said: “The Mind shop thrives on local support and we are

confident that with the help of Matlock residents we can make 2014 our most productive year yet. January is, of course, a great time to spring clean and donate items to Mind shops to sell, but it is also an excellent time to think about volunteering, as this is a rewarding and interesting activity. It helps sales and profits grow in the shops and ensures a feelgood factor for all involved. Through these very simple steps everyone can help us to support the one in four people who will experience mental distress every year.” It is very simple for individuals to offer help to the Matlock Mind shop – just pop in and see our manager, Angela Jones, or ring the shop on 01629 55917.

Peaks of Fame Sir Joseph Whitworth billiard rooms and, though somewhat changed today, remains a much appreciated asset. Lady Whitworth occasionally laid on teas in the grounds of Stancliffe Hall for schoolchildren. She had a good relationship with the people of Darley and in 1892 established scholarships for promising local pupils to enroll at the Lady Manners and Ernest Bailey Grammar Schools. In 1894 she unveiled an obelisk in Whitworth Park. Decorated with relief profiles of herself and the bearded and furrowed Sir Joseph, it bears a plaque inscribed: ‘A difference of one millionth of an inch is measured by using four true planes in concert.’ Lady Louisa Whitworth died in 1896 and lies buried beside Sir Joseph beneath matching headstones in St Helen’s churchyard.

Continued from Page 1 Generosity and conflict By this time Joseph Whitworth was a baronet, twice former President of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Fellow of the Royal Society and recipient of honours from around the world. He donated generous funds to promote scientific and technical education, endowed 30 annual scholarships to bring ‘science and industry into a closer relationship’ and was a major force behind the foundation of the future Victoria University of Manchester. Sir Joseph never had children of his own. Within six months of the death of his first wife in 1870, he married a woman 25 years his junior. The couple moved into Stancliffe Hall at Darley Dale, a property on which Whitworth lavished vast sums of money as befitted the status of a Victorian magnate. Neighbouring properties and an adjoining quarry were bought out, and a public road was constructed to re-route traffic away from the Whitworth estate within its landscaped park. Not

Institute and Whitworth Park. The two latter names were also familiar in Darley Dale, where Lady Louisa commemorated her husband with no expense spared. The Whitworth Hospital opened in 1889 and Whitworth Institute the following year. Construction costs of some £105,000 included the adjoining park laid out for

around the Peak. The impressive Institute building housed a hotel, library, swimming pool, museum, refreshment and

ornamented with wooden replicas of the shells used by Whitworth cannon. Land was given for allotments and for the Northwood Methodist Chapel. Sir Joseph was also keen to found an educational establishment for the children of Darley and to finance improvements to the existing schools. The prospect of his attendant interference, however, brought him into conflict with the rector and the plans fell through. The rector was the only person prepared to take a stance against his dictatorial parishioner so relationships between the two were always strained. Whitworth attended services at St Helen’s Church but always used a side door, last to arrive and first to leave. He was hardly viewed with affection in Darley Dale but was spoken of with formal respect until long after his death. Sir Joseph Whitworth died at Monte Carlo on 22 January 1887, leaving his widow Louisa and two legatees to administer his estate under the proviso that his ideals should remain paramount. Commemorative projects Within 20 years well over a million pounds had been expended. Projects in Manchester included Whitworth Hall at the University, the Whitworth Art Gallery, Christie Hospital, a Whitworth

A PLETHORA OF AWARDS

70 members from the Branches of the Derbyshire Royal British Legion Women’s Section recently gathered at the Wallis Barracks, Chesterfield for their annual Conference. Conference opened with the entry of the Standards from the Branches of Bakewell, Belper, Ilkeston, Mickleover and Littleover carried by Mrs Lynne Pheasey, Mrs Valerie Halls, Mrs Karen McDermott, Miss Louise Arnold and Mrs Eileen Smith, who came out of retirement especially as she felt so terrible that the Branch had no Standard Bearer Mrs M. Middleton MBE, the County President, then welcomed everyone to Conference and asked all to stand for the Act of Homage and whilst standing in silence remember those members who had passed away since Conference 2012, especially The County’s Vice-President Mrs I. Rush who passed away at the beginning of the year. Reverend Jocelyn Lewis of Whittington led Conference in prayers and Councillor Paul Stone, the Mayor of Chesterfield, welcomed everyone to the town, well known for its crooked spire. He hoped that people would come and visit again. The entertainment was provided by Carry on Singing from Derby. Reverend Lewis judged the Dorothy Underwood Cup for Crafts donated by Mickleover Branch in memory of Mrs

Rev. Jocelyn Lewis modelling CllrTwigg’s entry for the Dorothy Underwood Cup for Crafts.

The winning entry of Masquerade Ball Mask was appropriately the Chairman of Mickleover, Mrs Margaret Orme and the runner-up Judith Twigg, the President of Bakewell Branch. Councillor Stone and the Mayoress, Barbara Wallace took it in turns to present the following awards: The Middleton Rose Bowl for increased membership without an RBL Club – winner

Bakewell; The Devonshire Cup Large Branch for efficiency and progress – winner Littleover and runner-up Bakewell; The Devonshire Cup small Branch for progress and efficiency – winner Chesterfield and the runnerup Allestree; The Barbara Knight Cup for increased membership with an RBL Club winner Chesterfield; The Sheila Pratt Trophy for the over 60’s for outstanding work by a member, Mrs Dotty Wickes of Littleover Branch

and the runner-up June Bott of Allestree Branch. The County President’s Trophy for continued progress went to Belper Branch. The inaugural presentation of the County Chairman’s Cup for outstanding service to Derbyshire County went to Mrs Mary Hollis of Youlgrave, who has been Standard Bearer of the Branch for many years then Chairman and now President. The Per Capita trophies presented were as follows: The Myra Heathcote Tray for a large Branch with membership of 40+ members, winner Belper with a per capita figure of £20.00, Melbourne being runners-up and in third place Bakewell. The Dover Cup for a small Branch with a membership of 40 and below, the winner was Spondon with 4 members and a per capita figure of £118.75, Ilkeston were runners-up and in third place Glossop. Mrs J. Herlihy of Littleover Branch; Mrs J. Bott of Allestree; Mrs A. Eaton of Mickleover and Mrs M. Bennett of Allestree all received County Certificates of Appreciation for outstanding work on behalf of the Women’s Section. “It was absolutely superb to be asked to present these trophies and certificates to such worthy Branches and members,” remarked Cllr Paul Stone and Barbara Wallace. The raffle was won by the following lucky ladies: Rev. Jocelyn Lewis and Mrs P. Lunn of Bakewell among many others. Mrs M. Middleton MBE, Chairman of Conference Committee and President of the County thanked the Officers and Committee of Derbyshire County for their hard work over the past year. She thanked the County Chairman, Mrs Angela Swift for her excellent running of this her 4th Conference as Chairman, remarking that she was an extremely hard working Chairman and always there for us and also thanked the County Treasurer, Mrs Jan Buxton for her continued efforts to hold the County’s purse strings so very tightly as if they were her own. She also praised the cadets here today, without them this event could not have been as successful as it was. Officers elected were: President Mrs M. Middleton MBE; Vice-Presidents: Mrs J.J. Allsopp of Bakewell, Mrs J. Buxton of Youlgrave and Chesterfield and Mrs G. Frawley of Littleover; Chairman/Secretary Mrs A. Swift; Treasurer Mrs J. Buxton; Vice Chairman Mrs G. Frawley; County Committee Mrs P. Godfrey, Mrs J. Herlihy; Mrs M. Cam, Mrs B, Hurst, Mrs M. Middleton MBE, Mrs B. Watson, Mrs Janet Wheatley, Mrs Jane Mortimer and Mrs M. Orme.

The evening of Wednesday 12th December saw Bakewell in Bloom hold a Christmas get together event at the Rutland Arms Hotel. Over mulled wine and mince pies more than 30 guests enjoyed a hugely entertaining talk by Jeff Bates, Deputy Chair of the RHS Britain in Bloom Judging Panel. Jeff’s illustrated talk featured various aspects of the Bloom campaign both locally and nationally, and drew attention to the amazing success Britain in Bloom has had since its inception, going from strength to strength. Of particular interest was the effect that a town inspired by the work of a Bloom group can have on the local economy and community, with participating towns benefiting greatly.

CHRISTMAS PARTY FOR THE ELDERLY

Sixth Form students from Highfields School brought old fashioned games like Beetle Drive and Pass the Parcel to their Christmas Party with residents from Denefields Court, Matlock. Sally Atkin, Sheltered Housing Officer for Denefields, said, ‘The residents hugely enjoyed the night and it was great to see the two generations mixing together and having so much fun’. The students sang Christmas Carols and ran a quiz, and Ruth Wallwork, Phoebe Shaw and Sarah Needham played an acoustic session. “It was a great start to our Christmas too,” said Shannon Allason, one of the organisers, “by the end we didn’t want to leave”.

STOWAWAY SANTA SURPRISE FOR SCHOOL

Children from Cromford Primary School got a seasonal surprise at Christmas. The whole school embarked on an educational trip on the narrowboat Birdswood at Cromford Wharf. After learning about the Cromford Canal’s contribution to the Industrial Revolution in Derbyshire, watching the waterborne wildlife up close, and hearing the history of the 75-year-old canal boat, the children took turns to visit the traditional boatman’s cabin. The snug space where a whole family would have lived when Birdswood was a working cargo boat, was transformed into a Christmasthemed hideaway for a very special secret stowaway. Santa sat glowing in the warmth of a vintage stove, with a present for every child in his sack! Judy Berry, schools liaison officer for the Friends of the Cromford Canal, the

ROTARY CLUB OF MATLOCK

Record Sales at Victorian Market Matlock Rotarians turned out in force for the three days of the Victorian Market, serving the mulled wine that has become a regular feature of the market. The Rotary stall with the smell of spiced wine is always guaranteed to bring in the customers, especially on cold sunny days. The weather this year was perfect for the mulled wine drinkers and a record number of visitors were treated to a very tasty brew together with a piece of shortbread. The Victorian Market is seen by Matlock Rotarians as one of their “fun” events and they enjoy the banter as well as the fantastic support that they get from Matlock and Dales folk as well as the many visitors to the town. The generous support received has ensured that over £2900 will be added to the Matlock Charity accounts for distribution to good causes during 2014. The stall was shared with the Inner Wheel Club of Matlock who used their space to run a very successful tombola stall on Saturday and a Sales Table on Sunday. On Sunday evening, after

all the money had been counted, President Cynthia said, “The Victorian Market is one of the club’s favourite and most successful events. The weekend was fantastic, the weather was perfect for a hot mulled wine. Many thanks to all who once again gave us such fantastic support”. Matlock Rotary is a member of Rotary International and is dedicated to promoting peace, goodwill and understanding throughout the world.

Saturday 23rd November to listen to the music of the Derbyshire City & County Youth Wind Band. What a great night it turned out to be. Full of wonderful music by a group of very talented young people aged between thirteen and twenty-one. The music performed by the forty-seven musicians and conducted by Jon Malaxetxebarria was of the highest standard and the performance contained pieces including traditional wind band repertoire, light classical music, modern and pop classics. At intervals, between the music, members of the band recited some serious but mostly amusing stories about their experiences from their recent tour in Japan. Matlock Rotary was very fortunate to host the Band which was celebrating a very successful tour of Toyota in Japan where they performed six concerts at the end of October. Rotarian Geoff Stevens MBE thanked Highfields School for the use of the facilities there, the Band for a fantastic performance and the organizing team from Rotary headed by Rotarian Philip Pegg. Proceeds from the evening of over £1,000 will be devided between the Children’s Hospices, Rainbows and Blue Bell Woods.

A new social group is meeting at the ARC Leisure Centre on Thursday 16th January 2014 at 7pm. Parking is not restricted. The meeting room is on the same level as the car parking so wheelchair users should have no problems with access. This group is set up to share knowledge, ideas, offer support, chat and have fun. Please don’t sit at home come and share with kindred spirits.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Sirs, I would like to say thank you to the two workmen in a white van, (might have been council workers) who picked up my phone by a car park in Bakewell and stopped it getting run over when I dropped it from my pocket on my bike. Thanks for your help. Yours sincerely, Steve from Redditch Worcs. PS. Bakewell is a really nice place to visit, thank you to all your friendly locals.

BAKEWELL YOUNG FARMERS

Bakewell Young Farmers has had a good history of tug of war teams, having very frequently competed at the national finals, winning the national title in 2011. This is how many young people get involved in the sport, with Alex Birch, Sam Bolton, Charlie Billage and Joe Birch just starting at this level. We progressed from the Young Farmers Club to pull in the Tug of War Association for our loyal team Two Dales, who compete at a very high standard. Through this we were scouted by Mr D. Knott, the England U23’s coach. The U23’s squad is a selected squad from around the country, therefore training is as far south as Sandhurst in Berkshire, and north as far as York. We have been training locally since March and with the other team members since June. The World Championships were held from 17th - 22nd September, where we

competed in two competitions, pulling against European from Germany, Belgium and Sweden, and as far away as South Africa and China! There were 11 teams altogther in the

DARLEY DALE IN BLOOM 2014 School Nest Box Project Darley Dale is going to enter the regional round of the In Bloom competition again in 2014. Having gained a Silver Gilt award in 2013 in the Small Town category, and the Most Improved for East Midlands overall, the aim is to increase the tempo in the future and to go for a Gold Award, a very achievable ambition according to the judges in 2013. A major project is commencing at Darley Dale Primary School each Tuesday throughout January 2014 with the building and deployment of some 35 birds’ nest boxes. The headmaster, Peter Hughes, has agreed to fund the project and, with the support of Derbyshire Wildlife Trust Reserve volunteer Stewart Abbott, the pupils will be given an introduction into

identification of birds and which species they are likely to have visiting the boxes. Discussions will be held on the selection of safe and attractive sites to place the boxes and how to give the birds the best chance of successfully rearing their chicks. A brief introduction will be given about the British Trust for Ornithology, its nest box survey and how to create and maintain records. The pupils will construct the boxes, numbering them to assist in record-keeping, later in the month and the final session on 28th January will see all of the boxes fixed in position around the school grounds in readiness for the breeding season. Monitoring and recording of activity around the boxes will then continue throughout the year.

SUNDAY FOR EILEEN CHARITY DAY

Scott Wanless and Eileen’s husband, Sam Horax present a cheque A recent Sunday saw the 19th Hole, Fairfield, Buxton run their ‘Sunday for Eileen Charity Day’ raising an amazing £1750 for Blythe House Hospice. Thanking all the staff and people who supported and attended, Landlord Scott Wanless said: “Eileen Horax was one of our regular

patrons who sadly passed away recently. We raised the funds by running an auction and raffle with all the prizes being kindly donated by local businesses. We are all very proud to support such a worthwhile local charity that does so much good work in our community.”

ABBOTSHOLME PUPIL ACHIEVES GRADE 8 DISTINCTION IN VIOLIN Ellie Palmer, a pupil at Abbotsholme School, has just learnt she achieved Grade 8 Distinction in Violin, scoring an amazing 137, only 13 marks off perfection. Ellie, who is only just 16 and from Rocester, Staffordshire, is working towards her Grade 8 Piano at the moment, having achieved Grade 7 last year, and was previously a member of the National Children’s Orchestra. Currently she is a member of the Royal Northern College of Music.

She said of this result, “I was surprised at the result, because I was really worried about my scales and pieces and had to enlist the help of

a friend, to help me practise.” “I have a real passion for music and especially the violin, so I am really pleased to get this grade.”

Our Story so far... Buxton Storytellers began meeting in March 2013. We come together on a Sunday afternoon each month from 2-3.30pm. We meet in Scrivener’s Bookshop in Buxton thanks to the generosity of owner Alastair Scrivener. The space is small and intimate and is ideal for face-to-face storytelling. Each session lasts for around 90 minutes and most tellings are around 3-10 minutes. This gives us all time to share, reflect and give a little feedback to each teller. We welcome new storytellers. Get in touch with Anne at annemulkeenmurray@gmail .com or just come along. Follow Buxton Storytelling Group on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ groups/ What happens at a Storytelling session ? •We meet upstairs at

Scrivener’s Bookshop. •We start at 2pm. •We can make a cup of tea or coffee. •We take turns to tell and listen. •People tell for 3-10 minutes. •If there are more people, we can tell shorter stories, so that everyone can have a turn. It’s a good idea to practice and time your story beforehand. •You can use simple props if you want. •We prefer if you tell rather than read a story but we don’t object if you need some notes. •People often take time before and after sessions to have a browse in the bookshop. •We usually make a contribution to Scrivener’s Charity Box on the way out.

MATLOCK WORLD INNER WHEEL DAY On Monday January 6th The Inner Wheel Club of Matlock once again celebrated World Inner Wheel Day, on this occasion at the home of our Vice President. The purpose of the day is to support people who are less fortunate than ourselves, mainly in Eastern European countries. We fill specially created cloth bags with useful items such as soap, toothpaste etc and a toy and stationery for the children. We also create baby bundles, which are made up of colourful blankets knitted by members and friends and are wrapped around essential items for newborn and small babies. Forty-nine blankets had been knitted this year, thirty of which were used for the bundles and the rest to be dispatched as blankets only. Our own Overseas Officer, Maggy Darley and members remarked on the fantastic amount of goods that we had

A few of the baby bundles ready for dispatch had donated this year for this worthwhile event, commenting that we had never seen so many baby clothes and blankets, many of the blankets having been

made not only by our own members but also by members of St Helens Church, Churchtown, Darley Dale and Wirksworth Mothers Unions. The Inner

FROM CITY ARENAS TO ‘CATHEDRAL IN THE PEAK’ Philippa has been wowing audiences with her faithfilled inspirational music. Over the last two years she has supported Lionel Ritchie and then ‘Wet, Wet, Wet’. Indeed she has been described as having the ‘ability to create the intimacy of a coffee shop’ when performing in these city venues. The ‘Cathedral in the Peak’ is not quite so cavernous - so the concert on Friday, February 21st should be a winner. Already popular in her home area of Sheffield, Philippa has previously performed four times in

Tideswell. This time there will be a magical, folk-lore feel to her faith based programme entitled, ‘Through the Woods’. Tickets are available (early

bird) £6.50/£5 from Tideswell Stores 01298 872796, from the ticket line www.philippahanna.com/ tickets or telephone 07703 113019. The evening starts at

7.30pm and is due to end about 10pm. There will be a warm welcome to the ‘woodland’ environment of the church. Refreshments will be available. Reviews: “What a lovely voice and song. I really enjoyed it!” – Hardeep Singh, BBC Radio 2. “Phillipa is not just a great talent but also a very inspirational individual, possessing one of the finest voices I’ve had the pleasure to listen to.” – Andrew Small, music director and drummer (Kylie Minogue, Massive Attack).

Now that the Sherlock Holmes ‘jump’ mystery is solved (well, 2 out of 13 possible permutations excluding any plotlines with romance blossoming between Holmes and Moriaty) it’s time to hone your detection skills with Baslow Players’ 2014 Pantomime. Written by the same duet that brought you Hansel and Gretel last year, 3 Little Pigs CSI the panto includes some traditional pantomime elements as well as lots of modern twists. What really happened at Baslow Orchard that day? What do you need to know in the meantime...? Well, it’s not at all scary, so very suitable for children, although be warned that more than 10% of the matinee tickets had already been sold by the beginning of December.

We start at the end of the usual story, with the wolf having fallen down the chimney of the brick house and into boiling water. The wolf is in pain, the police get involved, and the whole business goes to court with some interesting character witnesses and court personnel. What do the papers say? Who are the other two wolves? Expect sparkle, nonsense, local references and song and dance routines worthy of Craig’s 3 vote, as well as an unusual audience song (remember the mash up of Fever and Hokey Cokey in Hansel and Gretel last year?) and PLENTY of room on the stage for little and big helpers. The audience is the jury after all, what could possibly go wrong? What else do you need to know... Tickets are £6 Adult, £4 children (except £5/£3 on Tuesday 4 Feb) and available from three outlets at Baslow (Spar, Post Office and Café on the Green) as well as from 01246 583460.

7.30pm every night at Baslow Village Hall with an additional matinee at 2.30pm on Saturday 8th February. You won’t be disappointed: “Hansel and Gretel panto was wonderful – just the right mix of everything and an interesting story which was easy to follow by our party aged 4 – 70+! I have spent more on tickets to professional pantomimes and not enjoyed myself as much as this!” Anyway, Baslow Players are all excited as “3 Little Pigs CSI the panto” is coming along nicely! Buy your tickets soon to ensure you come along too! And if you enjoy it, or enjoyed Hansel and Gretel last year, tell everyone!! If you would like to come but you haven’t got any transport, please ring Bakewell and Eyam Community Transport who are considering putting on a door to door bus service if there is enough interest. 01629 641920.

It’s 2014, the shortest day has passed, and it’s time to look forward to spring. Our next talk is about a local area which can look absolutely stunning when the springtime flowers come out. Local naturalist and Plantlife member George Challenger will talk to us about the charity Plantlife and the reserve which they run at Deep Dale near Sheldon. Plantlife was started in 1989 with David Bellamy as the first president, because it was thought that not enough was being done to conserve and protect wild plants. Since then the charity has grown and it now has 23 reserves throughout the UK. Plantlife has designated a plant for each county, and Derbyshire’s plant is Jacob’s Ladder which produces beautiful blue flowers on the valley side of Upper Lathkill Dale in early summer. For our talk George will tell us about Deep Dale Reserve which is a magnificent limestone dale

in the heart of the Peak District, designated both as a SSSI and a SAC (Special Area of Conservation). The grassland of Deep Dale is lightly grazed by cattle to help maintain its special flora which can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. In spring swathes of early purple orchids and cowslips can be found on the steeply sloping dale sides, whilst in early summer meadow saxifrage, common rockrose and kidney vetch come into flower. Near the end of summer the flowers of devils bit scabious and grass of Parnassus can be seen. There are also a large number of butterflies on the reserve including the dark green fritillary and the dingy skipper. Doesn’t the thought of all of these lovely wild flowers with butterflies passing by make you look forward to summer! So do come along to the talk which will be on Monday 20 January at 7.30pm at the Medway Centre in Bakewell. Admission is only £2.50 and everyone is very welcome.

JUST FOR A CHANGE

Over the years church services have been ‘modernised’ using language and approach more suitable to the 20th and 21st century which is all to the good. However, many people of rather more mature years remember with great affection the poetic language and music of more traditional services with which they were brought up. After a request by parishioners, the combined parishes of All Saints’, Matlock Bank, and Holy Trinity, Tansley, arranged on

two occasions last year, to hold a combined service of sung Matins from the Book of Common Prayer. This is to be repeated on Sunday morning 2nd February at 9-15 am at Holy Trinity church, Tansley. The choir, organist and members of the congregation of All Saints, Matlock Bank will join the congregation of Holy Trinity for a service of sung Matins, with an anthem. There is a warm welcome to come along and help fill the church with music.

Like most years 2013 had its share of ups and downs, but for me one of its remarkable ups was the raising of Richard III’s remains from under a public car park just south of us in Leicestershire, more than 500 years after his untimely death at the battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. According to William Shakespeare, Richard’s last words were “A horse a horse my kingdom for a horse”. It seems the height of irony to me that his Plantagenet “kingdom” was lost on his death and that his remains were discovered under a car park filled with present day “horsepower”. The skeleton of Richard had a hunchback, for which the illfated king was famed, as was portrayed on film by the late and great Sir Laurence Olivier. It would have been impossible to prove that the aforementioned bones were actually those of Richard III without D.N.A. - this made me think..... (“Oh no” exclaimed my wife - not again!”). D.N.A. PART ONE Deoxyribonucleic acid Is nigh impossible to say, And that is why they simplify Those words to D.N.A. It provides the scientific path To identify your kin Your very own ancestral past From whence we all begin, A descending and ascending line Back and forth from age to age The one genetic certainty By means of D.N.A. D.N.A. PART TWO When they dug up old Richard the Third Safely lifting his frame from rest Ceremoniously un-interred And sent off to the lab’ for test It matched with a living descendant That delicate pile of bone, If the king’s old regime had not ended We’d have a Plantagenet back on the throne. D.N.A. PART THREE So, with the aid of imaginary D.N.A. On the track of the rich and famous I’m scouring back through my own ancestory Of forebears down the ages. But whilst I’m busy doing that I can tell you something for fact Somewhere out there in the past Was a living breathing heathen Without whom You’d not be reading... This! Footnote: Happy new year to all 2014, past, present and future.

WHEN IT COMES TO GOOD HEALTH, THERE’S NO BIG SECRET. HERE ARE 10 THINGS YOU CAN DO TODAY TO IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH

1

Check your weight

Nearly three in 10 women and four in 10 men in England are overweight. Obesity causes 9,000 premature deaths every year and, on average, reduces life expectancy by nine years. Go to www.nhs.uk to use our BMI calculator to find out if you’re a healthy weight or whether you're at risk of serious health problems, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers. If you need to bring your weight down, you’ll find everything you need to know in our lose weight and health and fitness sections or you could try our 12-week weight loss guide.

2

Drink less

Most people are unaware that regularly drinking more alcohol than is advised by the NHS can lead to a wide range of long-term health problems, including cancers, strokes, and heart attacks. For example, men who regularly drink more than three to four units a day are three times more

likely to have a stroke. Visit our drinking and alcohol section to calculate your drinking levels, read about the health risks of drinking too much, and find out where you can get help.

Eat less salt and fat Excessive salt and fat in our diets is a major cause of chronic illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Too much salt in your food can cause high blood pressure and make you three times more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke. Two thirds of Britons have too much saturated fat in their diets, putting them at an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Get tips on cutting your fat and salt intake to lower your cholesterol and say no to salt.

4

Exercise regularly

The benefits of exercise aren’t limited to losing weight. Even if you’re slim, you’ll still get health benefits from exercising. Even a small amount of regular activity can lower

the risk of developing major chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes, by up to 50%. Regular exercise can cut the risk of premature death by 20-30%. You’ll find plenty of fun and practical ideas to help you get moving in our health and fitness section.

Eat more fruit and veg For a healthy and balanced diet, try to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. Research shows that eating at least 400g of fruit and vegetables a day can lower your risk of serious health problems such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Whether you're cooking for a family, eating on the run, or on a tight budget, our tips and recipes can help you get your 5 A DAY.

Improve your sleep

Nearly everyone has problems sleeping at some point in their life. It's thought that a third of people in the UK have bouts of insomnia. Most healthy adults sleep for an average of seven to nine hours a night. If you’re not getting enough sleep, it can affect relationships, your performance at work, and it can delay recovery from illness. Good sleep starts with a good bedtime ritual and some simple lifestyle changes.

Get a sexual health test Many people don’t notice any symptoms when they have a sexually transmitted infection (STI), such as chlamydia or gonorrhoea. If left untreated, chlamydia can affect a woman’s ability to get pregnant. You can’t tell by looking at someone whether they’ve got an infection, so it’s important to get a checkup if you’ve ever had unprotected sex. Getting tested and treated for STIs is easier than you think, and most infections can be cured. Find out more in visiting an STI clinic.

THE QUEEN’S PIPE

Friday, 30 January, is the Feast Day of Saint Aldegard, patron saint of those suffering lung cancer. The smoking of tobacco was introduced to Elizabethan England in 1565, and many disapproved of the practice even before its dangers to health became better understood. Parental warnings often fell on deaf ears, but a certain Peter Columbell of Darley was so determined to dissuade his heir from smoking that his will of 20 October 1616 contained the following condition: ‘Now for all such household goods at Darley, whereof John Howson hath an inventory, my will is, that my son Roger shall have them all towards housekeepinge upon this

condition, if at any time hereafter any of his brothers or sisters shall fynd him takeing of tobacco, that then he or she so fynding him, and makeinge just proffe [proof] to my executors, shall have the said goods or the full valewe thereof, according as they shall be praysed [appraised], which said goods shall presently after my death be valewed and praysed by my executors for that purpose.’ Surely no man ever had siblings as concerned for his health as did Roger Columbell. He held on to his inheritance but died childless in 1665. The great Dr Samuel Johnson complained about second-hand tobacco smoke long before the term

‘passive smoking’ was coined. His biographer, Boswell, noted Johnson’s displeasure in A Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides (1785): ‘Smoking is a shocking thing – blowing smoke out of our mouths into other people’s mouths, eyes and noses, and having the same thing done to us.’ ‘wash the mustache …’ A hundred years later an anonymous book of etiquette called ‘Don’t: A Manual of Mistakes and Improprieties’, thus advised male smokers how to avoid upsetting the fairer sex: ‘Smokers should be careful to wash the mustache and beard after smoking.’ A tax on tobacco has of course long provided a lucrative source of revenue for the Exchequer, but

Smith Dental Practice is a second generation family owned - and run practice. They have been helping the local community and surrounding areas to care for their dental health for 25 years. Many of their patients have been with them since day one and in many cases, three generations of the same family attend the surgery at any given time! They have become an integral part of community life, supporting and participating in many local events and schemes. Their modern, air conditioned surgeries within Wye House, Water Street, Bakewell, offer patients both NHS care and Private treatment under which a variety of cosmetic services can be accessed. The practice has always believed that NHS dentistry should be available to everyone, whatever age you may be, and they hold and

practise this belief still. However as people’s time became ever more precious and the demand for quality dentistry increased, it became clear that an alternative needed to be offered in order to provide patients with a more regular pattern of care. Therefore they are currently pleased to extend this level of care further, by giving patients, for a limited time only, the opportunity to access the Denplan scheme. The Denplan scheme enables the dentist to provide the enhanced level of care they would prefer to give. Some of the benefits of the Denplan scheme for the patient can include; • More “one to one” time with your dentist • Superior materials options for treatments • Bespoke preventative care schemes • Cosmetic finishes if required • Insurance cover for home

William Walsh’s Book of Literary Curiosities (1900) reveals how one class of Victorian society actually benefited from attempts at tax evasion: ‘Contraband tobacco is overhauled after seizure, and the good portions separated from the worthless, and supplied to convict prisons for the consolation of criminal lunatics. Only refuse tobacco finds its way into the ‘Queen’s Pipe.’ To avoid any confusion, we must point out that the Queen’s Pipe was a kiln operated by Customs near London docks, in which contraband tobacco, cigars, tea etc. was burnt. The ashes were disposed of to farmers to scatter on the land as fertiliser. Julie Bunting

DEBORAH GETS TAKEN OUT

It definitely wasn’t a case of ‘no likey, no lighty’ when a Slimming World Consultant from Bradwell met comedian and TV presenter Paddy McGuinness at an annual awards ceremony. Deborah Ashton, who runs a Slimming World group at Bradwell War Memorial Hall, Bradwell every Monday and Medway Community Centre, Bakewell every Wednesday, was delighted to get a chance to cuddle up to Paddy when he co-hosted the Slimming World Awards with the organisation’s chair and founder Margaret MilesBramwell OBE. Bolton-born Paddy, who shot to fame in Channel 4 comedy Phoenix Nights alongside school friend Peter Kay before becoming a popular stand-up comedian and TV presenter on shows including ITV1’s Take Me Out, said he thoroughly enjoyed the experience. He added: “I have to admit the most I knew about Slimming World before the awards was a gag in Peter’s routine that refers to Slimming World as being £1 cheaper than its competitors! Jokes aside, I

By Funnyman Paddy McGuinness

Slimming World Consultant Deborah Ashton meets comedian and TV presenter Paddy McGuinness was genuinely amazed to hear about what a difference consultants like Deborah make to people’s lives. At the ceremony I met lots of people who’d lost incredible amounts of weight and it

had totally changed their lives. Every single one of them told me that they couldn’t have done it without the support of their Slimming World group and their consultant.

“Before I started working in comedy I was a fitness instructor so I know how important it is to look after yourself, but equally I know it’s not always easy to motivate yourself. So, having the help and support of someone like Deborah to keep you on track and be there with advice when you need it really is invaluable.” Deborah said meeting Paddy at the event, which was held at Birmingham’s International Convention Centre, was the cherry on the top of a great year for the Bradwell Slimming World group: “Obviously the most important thing of all is that the group have lost weight and improved their health throughout 2013 and I’m so proud of all of my members – many of them have achieved their target weights and been able do things they never thought possible before slimming down, including doing more with their families, taking up new hobbies, reducing medication or simply fitting in smaller-sized clothes. And they’re helping their entire family to eat more healthily

WHY AREN’T WE JUST HAPPY? It’s good to find ways of improving our physical health. Certainly, ill health has an impact on our happiness. But did you know that happiness has an impact on our health? When we’re happy, our body’s cells are bathed in a cascade of totally natural, health-promoting chemicals.

Happiness boosts the immune system and improves heart function, digestion and other internal systems. So why aren’t we just happy? Well, we think it’s because of an ailment, or because of our circumstances, or because of someone, or some thing. Life certainly has its challenges.

But the true cause tends to be deeper, and internal – it’s in our thinking. Usually the thought patterns holding us below our optimum level are in the sub-conscious. We’re not aware of them. Anxiety, depression and obsessive behaviours are examples of this.

Dynamic hypnotherapy with an advanced hypnotherapist can help you find and release these unhelpful sub-conscious patterns, freeing you to get on with being happy, which is, after all, your natural state. Jan Haley Brightwood 01298 937095.

too. But as well as seeing stonking success on the scales, we’ve had a lot of fun throughout the year too – we’ve held parties in group, raised money for charity and members have cheered each other on with every step of their weight loss journey. I can’t wait to see what 2014 holds for the Bradwell Slimming World group and I’d love anyone who’s thinking about losing weight this January to join us. “I truly believe that Slimming World is the best way for people to take control of their weight. Even if they’ve struggled to stick to slimming plans in the past, I know we can help them to make a change for life this time around – my members are proof of that. Slimming World’s Food Optimising plan isn’t a ‘diet’, we simply help our members to discover new healthy habits and a healthier way of eating that they can enjoy without ever feeling hungry or deprived. By making small easy changes to the way they shop, cook and eat and getting support to overcome the challenges they face along the way, they see a big difference on the scales, a big difference to the way they feel, and a big smile on their face!” To get your 2014 off to a super slimming start call Deborah on 01433 651996 or visit www.slimmingworld.com

PROMISING FIRST HALF OF THE SEASON FOR MANNERIANS

After flirting with relegation from Midlands East 2 (N) last season, and with the 2nd XV only making a handful of appearances in the Pennant League, 2013/14 promised to be a challenging one for Bakewell Mannerians Rugby Club in its 85th year. So it was something of a surprise back in August when the new management team

of Martin Pearce and Mike Dabell, together with Coach Chris Weeks and incoming skipper Jack Duncan, announced a target for the season of 4th place in the league for the 1st XV and for the 2nd XV to honour all its fixtures in the Pennant League. With the league season reaching its half way point,

Mannerians find their 1st XV at 3rd place in the table – the team’s highest ever position – and the 2nd XV sitting at the top of the Pennant League. And while the players can look back with some satisfaction at the season so far, according to Dabell there is no sense of this being job done, or even nearly done. “We are still very much a club in transition, so the success we’ve had has been a bonus. We’ve recruited hard, and our new players are making a big impression across the club as a whole.” Going on to name names, Dabell added, “In Seb Cooke, Chris Taylor, Sam Head, Ollie Cunningham, Connor Longson and Tom Culley we have some young players who are enjoying the step up to adult rugby; they are learning from the more established characters, and the forwards have undergone a transformation this season. Chris has got us playing some good rugby as a club – we don’t look at it as being two teams anymore. And the fitness sessions at the new born2move gym, together with my Strictly Come Dancing contests, have given our guys the edge going into the last quarter of games.” Surprisingly enough perhaps, the management identify the 1st XV’s massive loss at Crewe & Nantwich in the Cup as being a key turning point. “On that day it was a really close call as to whether we should play the game,” recalls Pearce. “We had a lot of senior players

unavailable and it would have been easy to forfeit. But the fact was we still had nearly 40 players wanting a game so it would have sent entirely the wrong message to these players and to our rivals if we had cried off. Yes, the 1st XV lost heavily – but a lot of youngsters came through with credit – and the 2nd XV had a big win at Amber Valley.” “The following week the 1st XV put 70 points past Stamford, and the season really kicked on from there. We go into the break unbeaten in 6 games on the trot and with big scalps in beating Loughborough and Oakham, both away. The 2nd XV followed a number of close games with an 80 point win over Belper, and there’s a real buzz about the place.” The club knows that January is going to be very important if the early promise is to be maintained, as Coach Weeks was quick to emphasise. “There are 4 tough fixtures coming up in a row, starting with local rivals Ashbourne on 4th January. We need to make sure we keep the fitness levels up in the face of the festive temptations and get a flying start.” So things are looking promising for the Bakewell club, and they are still on the lookout for new players and supporters to join them. Take a look at bakewellrugby.org.uk or call down to the Manners in Bakewell to find out what’s going on.

Exercising, saving money and getting out more - all noble new year’s resolutions. Yet like most resolutions, a tad ambitious. How can you realistically achieve all three without quitting by Valentine’s Day? Cycling is a good start, but not everybody is Bradley Wiggins and fitting cycling into an existing lifestyle is easier said than done. Introducing e-bikes An e-bike is a bicycle with a motor on the rear wheel, powered by a battery in the frame. Pedal and the motor assists, stop and the motor stops. The result is a simple, safe, and easy-to-ride bicycle that’ll get you from A to B faster. How then, do you get any exercise? The usual reservations that a motor is ‘cheating’ and will rob you of cycling’s many health benefits - just don’t hold up to reality. Many models (Juicy Bikes included) leave the level of assistance

shops, commuting to work, keeping up with the grandkids - these things shouldn’t be a chore. We believe that you don’t have to be a hobbyist to benefit from cycling, and on a Juicy Bike it’s a more convenient, comfortable, and effective form of transport than ever. E-bikes are also a great money saver. The average personal journey is under 5 miles - time consuming on foot, yet wasteful in the car. In terms of fuel consumption (not to mention wear and tear) your car is at its least efficient on short journeys, yet a Juicy Bike Classic will take you 30 miles on just 5 pence worth of electricity. Much cheaper than a gym membership. So if you’re after a real change (without all the punishment) that you’ll be still be benefitting from next January, consider making a resolution to try out a Juicy Bike.

up to the rider, so whack it up from low to medium and tackle an intimidating hill, or turn it off completely and go it alone - the Pedal Assist System means you’re exercising whatever the setting, and that’s more than can be said for the average car journey. It’s almost exercise in disguise. What’s more, studies show that on average e-bikes are ridden further and more frequently than push-bikes, and a bike can’t offer much exercise from the garage. Try one and you’ll see why owners tend to be more eager to go out and ride: the assurance that you’ll never run out of steam, be roadblocked by a hill, or arrive at your destination sweaty and exhausted makes incorporating an e-bike into your existing routine a doddle.

HEALTHY NEW YEAR!

With many of us trying to eat more healthily this January, Bamford Dental Practice warns about the harmful effects that hidden sugar in ‘healthy’ foods can have on your teeth and overall health. Low-fat and 'diet' foods often contain extra sugar to help improve their taste,

even the sugar free options may still have it in them – it’s just labelled differently. Check the ingredients for anything ending in 'ose' (glucose, sucrose etc) these are all forms of sugar. Did you know that some servings of orange juice contain as much sugar as 13 Hobnobs!

PREVENTING FALLS FOR OLDER PEOPLE In these dreary days of January, spring seems a long way off. It’s very tempting on a cold winter evening to settle down in front of the television for a few hours of viewing. However for an older person, sitting for any length of time , especially if it’s in a poor position, can lead to

joint stiffness and poor posture which will affect balance and make you more at risk of falling. Stand up between programmes or take a walk around the room to avoid sitting for too long. For falls prevention advice and easy exercises that can be done at home contact Jane Hague 07812 514568.

New information panels have been installed to give stargazers a guide to the night sky over the Peak District National Park. The Dark Sky panels, which will be changed seasonally, can be found close to Arbor Low stone circle and Minninglow burial mound, where the position of the stars seemed significant to our neolithic ancestors more than 4,000 years ago. To help people appreciate the relation of these special sites to the stars, the panels are positioned at nearby National Park car parks which are easily accessible and on clear nights provide good conditions for stargazing. The car parks are both beside the High Peak Trail at: •Parsley Hay, off the A515 near Hartington (nearest postcode SK17 0DG). •Minninglow, off the A515 at Pikehall (nearest postcode DE4 2PN).

MAKE A DIFFERENCE, COME AND SING IN 2014

What will you do in 2014? During recent years thousands of people, many of them being of the male species, have found their voices and started singing. Thanks to the all male group, Only Men Aloud and Gareth Malone with his TV series, ‘Sing While You Work’, men, boys, firemen and women, personnel from Citi Bank, employees of P&O Ferries, Sainsbury’s and Manchester Airport have all been introduced to the joys of making music through singing. So what will you do different in 2014? In the last four years more than forty men, living in the Peak District, Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Greater Manchester, Yorkshire and Cheshire have chosen to become a part of one of the fastest growing, forward thinking, progressive, male choruses in the country. During 2013 Tideswell Male Voice Choir performed to audiences totalling more than seven thousand, from Derbyshire to Cornwall. 2014 will see the choir producing a new CD, touring South Wales, performing in venues up and down the country including Buxton Opera House and the beautiful open theatre in the

stunning setting of Gawsworth Hall. The choir welcomes new members throughout the year but specifically NOW as we commence rehearsals for the coming performance season. So, what will you do to change your life in 2014? Here is a personal invitation to every man to come along to our rehearsal premises, The Old Grammar School, situated in the grounds of the ‘Cathedral of the Peaks’, Tideswell, on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings at 7pm as from the 14th January 2014. Our members age from 18 years upwards and everyone is welcome. You don’t have to read music or undergo any audition, just come along, bring your voice and become a part of this great organisation that is TIDESWELL MALE VOICE CHOIR. For further information or to speak with one of our section managers, please email, enquiries@tideswellmvc.co. uk Finally for the ladies, watch out, there is an invitation coming your way to join us in two, maybe three big productions in 2014, keep visiting our website for further information.

the universe and understand how the stars relate to these special landscapes.” Interesting objects to look out for in the January southern night sky include the constellation Orion and planet Jupiter. Orion the hunter is easily recognisable by his belt and sword, a line of three stars with three stars that ‘hang’ beneath it, while Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, appears as a bright pink star to the left of Orion. Sue went on: “The Peak District’s dark skies mean that planets, constellations, meteor showers and even satellites can be seen with the naked eye or ordinary binoculars,

an experience that can be rare nowadays in other parts of the UK. “We’d like to thank Nottingham Trent University, part of the Peak District Dark Skies Group, which obtained funding and helped design the panels. The group includes professional and amateur astronomers with a keen interest in safeguarding the night skies in and surrounding the national park from inappropriate lighting.” The new panels add to an existing Dark Sky panel at Surprise View car park, between Hathersage and Sheffield (nearest postcode S11 7TY), installed in 2012.

If any wedding team is capable of giving you the

dream day, we would recommend you put your ideas into their hands and let them create it.” Grace and Ashley September 2013 "Getting married at Chatsworth was the best day of our lives, the professional staff arranged everything we wanted, and all our guests were wowed by the venue and everyone involved.

SAVE THE DATE: WEDDING PREVIEW EVENING At Idyllic Grindleford Venue On 23rd January The Maynard Hotel in Grindleford is requesting all prospective brides and grooms to “save the date” with the announcement that its exciting wedding preview evening will take place on Thursday 23rd January at 6pm. The evening is a chance to see the magnificent ballroom set up as it would be on your Wedding Day, and the Windsor suite will be dressed for a civil ceremony. Events coordinator Kate Lloyd will be on hand to answer any questions and there will be an opportunity to meet head chef Mark Vernon who will have canapés available for you to try. There are many advantages to attending The Maynard’s wedding preview evening, as Kate Lloyd explains: “The wedding preview evening is a

different experience from a wedding fayre. It’s an intimate occasion where you can start to feel what your big day would be like. Wedding packages are available to cater for

everyone’s needs, including licensed civil ceremonies and civil partnerships, plus evening and daytime events.” Bookings are not required to attend the wedding

preview evening, however if you want more information in advance, you can call 01433 630321 and speak to the wedding team. Or visit The Maynard’s website www.themaynard.co.uk

Bridal Trends For 2014 Illusion, illusion, illusion is one of the top trends for 2014. Necklines with appliqué to mirror a necklace, almost bare backs with just a hint of lace, and sleeves dressed with occasional motifs. Colour features highly in most designer’s collections. Ivory lace over blush, blue, mint or latte. Golds and champagne with metallic highlights. Bridal gown silhouettes are the flattering fit and flare or sleek fishtails, but chiffon and lace are still very popular, as are the vintage styles. Anything goes for bridesmaids. Short or long, chiffon, taffeta, silk or satin in a kaleidoscope of colours to match any colour scheme. As so many people are leaving it so late to order their wedding dress, Bebra

Designs now has an ‘off the peg’ range of beautiful bridal gowns priced from £99 to £699 and individual bridesmaids’ dresses and prom dresses all £49. Most designers require 5 months’ notice to deliver a dress so this gives brides the option if they haven’t got that amount of time. Alterations are carried out in-house to ensure a perfect fit and are free of charge on all wedding dresses. To ensure a personal service Bebra Designs only opens by appointment during the week but this includes evenings except Wednesday which is reserved for the menswear hire appointments. If you just want to pop in and browse, Saturday opening is from 10am to 4pm.

wedding day with anyone else, like at most other venues.

The dedicated and hugely experienced wedding team understand the finite details required to make sure you feel special and relaxed for your big day – there’s no relying on a venue that promises you the world but

has little or no experience in delivering your dream day.

You don’t even need to worry about separate wedding and reception venues because both Callow

Hall and East Lodge have their own Civil Wedding Licences and you can even choose to marry outside in the beautiful wedding pavilion overlooking the landscaped water gardens at East Lodge. So don’t hesitate to call the East Lodge team on 01629 734474 or the Callow Hall team on 01335 300900 to arrange a time to visit and tell them about your plans for your day.

In these days of speedy communications and 4wheel drive vehicles, most of us can not appreciate how cut off an isolated community could be in wintertime. People were more or less confined to their own village on winter evenings and social life traditionally centred on the pubs, though mainly for the menfolk. By the late 19th century, some villages were fortunate enough to have a reading room, generally built at the expense of a local worthy but open to men only. Seasonal events such as concerts and parties were more likely to be held in the schoolroom. The later Village Halls were open to everyone, giving the opportunity for clubs and societies to open local branches now that they had a meeting place. The Workers’ Educational Association (WEA), which celebrated its centenary in 2003, established tutorial classes in 1908, offering further study to adults who would otherwise have been unable to afford it. The WEA grew stronger following the bleak days of the Depression and further education projects began to reach outlying areas. In the early 1930s, up to 100 residents of Taddington were attending fortnightly university lectures on geology under the tutelage of a professor connected with Manchester Museum. Shortly after the first lecture, Tunstead quarry workers tapped a pothole and discovered bones which the lecturer identified as bison, Irish elk and reindeer. While Taddington local history group was delving into the past, others joined woodwork and cookery classes. Similarly, Eyam school was a hive of activity every night of the week. Almost 70 people were involved in arts and crafts, cookery, drama and local history. Others had the benefit of university lectures. Back to school People living in the Edale

valley met up at Hope school for lessons in English, maths, book-keeping, violin tutorials, ambulance and nursing classes. Audiences of around 70 would attend lectures on such diverse topics as The Chemistry of Everyday Life and The Derbyshire Countryside. Activities in both the gym and play-reading circle were also popular, while the drama group adopted the ‘off duty’ task of clearing up the village and churchyard. One of the strongest contenders in village drama contests was the team of Full Moon Players at Great Hucklow. Drama was also the forte of Youlgrave, where a highly-regarded village panto is held to this day. Youlgrave Village Hall has long been the centre of other activities; almost 80 years ago members of the local W.I. were in the throes of compiling a book on Youlgreave and Alport, copies of which are still treasured by many local families. Recent years have seen books published by many village history groups, while our own Coming Events columns offer an endless variety of activities to keep those winter blues at bay. Stick a pin in Monday’s list and you might find Synfonia, badminton, a jazz workshop or game of bridge; Tuesday – art group, Tiddleypeeps, whist or Crafty Natters; Wednesday – Little Hedgehogs, indoor bowling, floral art or Fab Friends; Thursday – bell ringing, clog dancing, a photography workshop or Creative Coffee; Friday – try croquet or storytelling, a Teddy Bear club or Zumba. At weekends you could Come Dancing, brush up on bingo or circus skills and also consider a wide choice of religious services. All of which just goes to confirm that community spirit still thrives all around the Peak – there is life beyond those TV and computer screens! Julie Bunting

Babes In The Wood After all the many joys of Christmas and celebrations of The New Year - what then? Well, if you have an apple tree, you could celebrate with Wassailing, an ancient orchard blessing ceremony, performed to waken the tree for Spring and hopefully to reap a bumper crop later in the year - or - you could book tickets to see Youlgrave's famous pantomime, due to start as always in the last week of January. This year, “Babes in the Wood” written by Jan Wilson and directed by Nic Wilson promises to lift the spirits with a laughterfilled evening of fun and frolic. As always, the production team have been working hard, painting beautiful scenery (can you spot the ginger cat which always appears somewhere on a backdrop?), making zany stage furniture and turning the Village Hall into a fairytale wonderland. The Props Depot have been amassing a

magical array and the Millinery Department will rival Royal Ascot! The Sewing Ladies are creating the most stunning costumes, based on a mediaeval theme, but with a modern comical twist, turning the Sewing Room into a kaleidoscope of colours and delighting all the cast as they go for their final fittings. Elsewhere in the Hall, rehearsals have now stepped up a notch, with the Director, cast, Merry Men and chorus all flinging themselves into the story with glee. We do hope that you will all come to join in the fun, “Babes in the Wood” runs from Wednesday January 29th - Saturday February 8th, 7.30pm, with matinees on each Saturday at 2.30pm. Booking is by John and Judith Orchard, 630202, Mon-Fri. 10am-6pm or email pommypanto@yahoo. co.uk You really shouldn't miss it!!

Fin Cop Hillfort - Ann Hall. Admiring the panoramic view from Monsal Head and looking across to the opposite hilltop, few of us ever realised that this lonely area had once been a hive of activity. You can see why ancient man chose this spot, with the naturally occurring limestone chert for flint tools, with a vantage point for miles around and the steep sheer sided slopes of the hillside giving further protection. They should have been safe but they weren’t.... Who then seemed to wreak havoc on that hilltop? Who breached those high ramparts and who seemed to have cast the bodies of vulnerable women and children amongst the rubble of their destruction? Was this tribal rivalry? Did the aggressors want the chert to fashion arrowheads for themselves? So much was revealed by the Longstone History group, Archaeologists and volunteers, but just as many, if not more, mysteries remain. Fascinating. “Little Treasure”. Barely an inch high, a small yellowygreen plastic elephant “stole the show”. It’d been purchased from Woolworth’s for 6d in 1917 by Margaret Maslen’s father when he was only seven years old and was a gift to his mother... I think he was a little treasure himself!!! Lorna Wilson and co. President’s Charity 2013. Edale Mountain Rescue.

What a girl! We helped, of course but Lorna was the motivator, together we raised nearly £1300 for Edale Mountain Rescue... Darlings, with all our “extreme Sports” we need back up!! Chatsworth Walk. They left me!!!! How could they do that? All alone... Well, not quite, they left Liz McDonald as well. I reckon they’d all rushed off back to Baslow Bus Shelter for another round of drinks, which is where our foray began - drinks and nibbles in the bus shelter, followed by a walk to Chatsworth and lunch, then all walk back together!... Bless her, when Laraine Gibson realised we’d been abandoned (I’d rung all their mobiles and expressed my displeasure) she came back to find us, but by then “last orders” had been called in the bus shelter. They’d drunk up and gone!!! Sisterly love and Christmas Spirit – where was all that???? Cycle Team. Get oiling, intensive training scheduled for the Spring. 12th February. Karl Rex- My Time In The Army. 2pm. Baslow Village Hall 22nd FEBRUARY. JUMBLE SALE. SATURDAY 2pm BASLOW VILLAGE HALL We’ll all be there to greet you, renew old friendships, offer outstanding bargains and raise funds for ourselves and others. Good to have you on board. Thank you. 24th February. Walk. Linacre Woods 10.30am. Lunch Three Merry lads. 12ish. Jane Walker

Marlborough Road - yet another aristocratic title chosen for its associations with Chatsworth and the Duke of Devonshire who at the time owned much of Buxton. The 5th and 6th Dukes, together with the help of a pool of architects and an army of skilled builders and craftsmen, transformed the town during the 18th and 19th centuries. This particular area of properties is attributed mainly to Robert Ripon Duke, more famously known for designing the incredible Dome. Architectural enthusiasts must have a field day on a

the London Palladium. I headed along George Street, a backwater leading through to Manchester Road. Devonshire Road opposite nestles between two of Buxton’s architectural giants, the majestic Dome and the palatial Palace, beyond which I could just make out the famous fan window designed by Paxton located in the wall of Buxton station to signify the end of the line. It was certainly the end of the line for travellers to Matlock when Dr Beeching wielded his axe in 1968!

walk around Buxton as there are examples of contemporary and stylish 20th century building styles alongside typical Georgian and Victorian buildings. But classical Buxton contains examples of Italian Renaissance Revival, Second Empire Style, Gothic Revival as well as Arts-&Crafts architecture. On reaching Corbar Road I followed the footpath beside Northwood House leading up into woodland which is now managed by Buxton Civic Association. It was originally laid out as a

series of public walks by Sir Joseph Paxton, incorporating meandering paths over a couple of rustic bridges through man-made mounds of earth set with deciduous and coniferous trees. Some 160 years later and the bridges have gone but the pathways have recently been renewed and many of the now mature trees can still be found as stalwarts among a sea of saplings. Sadly a few have recently been felled by the recent severe gales. On my right was Wye House. Appearing something like a French chateau, it was initially built as a private residence but in 1901 became an asylum run as an establishment for the care and treatment of the insane of the higher and middle classes. At the start of this century it was facing dereliction but has since been restored and converted into apartments. The path wound around beneath the trees before heading steeply uphill with the aid of a series of steps. Here I huffed and puffed my way to a field at the top of the wood followed by a short detour to Corbar Cross which stands at 1,433 feet above sea level. The first cross to be positioned here was given to the Roman Catholic Church by the Duke of Devonshire in 1950 to commemorate Holy Year. However, this is the third cross, erected in May 2011. I braced myself against strong winds which were whipping over the High Peaks as I looked out across Buxton and a panoramic view of the hills beyond for a 3D interpretation of the Peak District and an entertaining contest to identify all the landmarks and to count the numerous domes, cupolas and coronets on the buildings down below. There is a lovely view over to Solomon’s Temple which appears in miniature on the distant horizon. I walked back down to the woods, turning right through the trees to continue on my circuit. Eventually this led me down and behind Cavendish Hospital to Manchester Road. It was now time to

FAMILY RUN

SA WR LEOOM

Caring for you since 1999

delve into suburbia once again, exploring what would have been the most desirable and elitist address to have in the late 1800s. Having said that, the Park post code still carries a premium for Buxton house buyers. Created by Sir Joseph Paxton, The Park was laid as a circular estate of grand houses around a central open area of land used for recreational facilities. The higher up the hillside, the bigger the house and the better the view!These large and impressive houses were constructed at a time when it was fashionable to have servants, often living on the upper floors or attics, to help with the housework and to run the house, somewhat like an episode of Upstairs Downstairs. These magnificent mansions have become beyond the financial reach in general as family homes, many being divided into apartments, run as sheltered residential accommodation or as private businesses. On the gatepost of 151 Park Road is a blue plaque in memory of Vera Brittain who lived there from 1907-1914. Feminist and pacifist, she is best known for writing ‘Testament of Youth’ recounting her experiences of World War One. She was the mother of Shirley Williams, Baroness Williams of Crosby PC, one of the ‘Gang of Four’ rebels who founded the Social Democrat party in 1981. It had been a fabulous insight into an area of Buxton that was relatively unknown to me and I now skipped back down to familiar territory for a bit of shopping before heading for home.

A town walk around Buxton never fails to excite me as I can step back in time with the help of a plethora of architectural history dating from an era when this was a hotspot for travellers and wealthy tourists as well as being a desirable place to live with the benefit of fresh air and pure water. Where better to start than St Ann’s well with a free taster to whet my enthusiasm and set me on my way. Walking past the Old Hall Hotel, said to be the oldest hostelry in the country, I realised that I was following in the footsteps of Thomas Hobbes, Daniel Defoe and Celia Fiennes, early travel writers who put pen to paper to describe Buxton’s charms and popularity, although not always complimentary. However, for them no tarmac pavements to tread or leafy suburbs to explore as neither existed back then. A magnetic urge pulled me toward No 6 The Square. This popular tearoom serves delectable and delicious cakes and gateau but I bravely fought off the temptation with a glance of admiration across to the Opera House. An Edwardian gem, this glorious theatre is accredited to Frank Matcham who also designed
