We love watching the birds in our garden, but this year there seems to be fewer birds than usual visiting the feeders. This January was the wettest since 1767, and it’s also been relatively mild. This could explain why our garden isn’t flocking with birds – they tend to visit gardens in harsher winter weather when other food sources, such as hedgerow nuts, seeds and berries, are hard to come by. Weather can affect garden birds in many ways. For example, blue tits feed their chicks with moth caterpillars. The caterpillars are more abundant during a warm, sunny, dry spring – so it’s these conditions that will ensure breeding success for blue tits. Blackbirds, on the other hand, prefer a damp spring. They feed their chicks with earthworms – tricky to extract from dry soil, but

readily available when it rains. The decline of some garden birds, though, has nothing to do with weather but is part of a long-term trend, and can be linked to several causes, including intensive farming, pollution, and habitat loss. Starlings and house sparrows are two species that have really suffered in recent years – both are on the Red List for conservation, meaning they are globally threatened. Song thrushes are another much-loved garden visitor on the Red List. And mistle thrushes, bullfinches and dunnocks are on the Amber List, meaning they aren’t faring too well, either. Doing well It’s not all doom and gloom, though. Several species are doing very well indeed, including great tits, longtailed tits and blackbirds. One successful species,

with a large increase in population numbers in recent years, is the great spotted woodpecker – and we are very lucky to have one of these gloriously colourful birds as a regular visitor to our garden. Great spotted woodpeckers are easily identifiable by their striking black and white plumage and distinctive red patch on the back of the head. You may hear them even if you can’t spot them – woodland walks in the Peak District are often accompanied by the rapid drumming sound of a woodpecker, attempting to attract a mate or defend its territory. Our woodpecker likes to visit a peanut feeder that’s close to a thick hedge – it can hide in the hedge until it’s safe to come out and feed. But woodpeckers also like suet blocks. Or try making a suet log – drill holes in a log and fill with a mixture of melted suet mixed with peanut butter, nuts, seeds and dried fruit. As well as making sure the wild birds are well fed during winter, we also need to take extra care of our hens. In cold weather, we always give them a handful or two of whole grain in the late afternoon – this gives them an extra boost of energy to keep them warm overnight. Their water supply needs checking regularly, too – hens need constant access to fresh water, and during cold

weather this can quickly become frozen over. Good egg Now that the days are gradually getting longer, our small free-range flock is providing us with a plentiful supply of eggs – and very welcome they are, too. Eggs are packed with nutrients – including vitamins A, B and D, folate and phosphorous – and are a fantastic source of protein. In the past it was thought that people shouldn’t eat too many eggs, as they contain cholesterol. But eating eggs doesn’t actually increase cholesterol levels in the blood – so most healthy people don’t have to limit the number of eggs they eat. There are so many quick

MONYASH NEWS What a busy half term this has been. Looking back I am amazed at everything that has happened and how we have fitted it all in. We are very fortunate to have such a hard working team of staff and such supportive parents. Our children have thoroughly enjoyed their learning and experienced a really wide range of activities. Mr. Wright

Cooking club is now happening regularly in school thanks to Mrs Harris and Mrs Hatcher. It has been so popular that we have had to limit the number of sessions each child can attend. Children have enjoyed preparing, cooking (and eating) a range of tasty treats from special biscuits to Chinese Stir Fry. Another big event this term was our visit to Young Voices in Sheffield. Almost all of our junior children took part in this fantastic experience. The opportunity to sing with many professional musicians and thousands of other children at Sheffield Arena was truly memorable. Kite making was a great success this week. Children all made their own individual kites and large model kites in groups. We then managed to pick a window in the weather to fly. Some of our children are now kite experts and will no doubt be showing off their skills over the half term break. Both infant and junior classes have been experimenting with papier mache this week. The juniors have been producing models of hot air balloons using colourful artwork as their outer layers. The infants have been decorating a large giraffe. Initially it went pink but now has patches of colour. Look out for it

around the village over the next few weeks. Rumour has it that our giraffe might be out and about. As always, drumming with Steve Rivers of Unbeatable Energy was really popular. Children worked on rhythm and performance, with an emphasis on pushing ourselves to ‘try something scary’. Whilst it might not feel like it, we have been fortunate not to be too badly affected by winter weather so far this year. If for any reason we do have to close the school, we will get the news out by text, local radio (including BBC Radio Derby) and on the internet at: www.derbyshire.gov.uk/ schoolclosures

DIVING DEEP TO CLEAR CROMFORD CANAL

£50 FOR YOUR OLD SPECS

£25

Divers recovering rocks near High Peak Junction Intrepid divers from Belper Sub Aqua Club teamed up with volunteers from canal restoration charity Friends of the Cromford Canal (FCC) on a chilly February Sunday morning. Their mission was

to carry out a dive survey and remove underwater obstructions from a stretch of the Cromford Canal near High Peak Junction. The work, which was sanctioned by canal owner

Derbyshire County Council, was needed to clear hazards to navigation that had been found on trial trips by the FCC’s 70-foot heritage narrowboat Birdswood. Rocks and coping stones originally

from the canal bank were removed from the waterway along with other large objects such as a railway sleeper and lengths of iron guttering. The canal was officially abandoned in 1944 and was last used by a horse-drawn trip boat in the 1980s. DCC dredged the section between Cromford and High Peak Junction in 2013. The clearance work will allow FCC to run public narrowboat trips from Cromford Wharf, turning around (or "winding" in canal terminology) opposite the landmark Leawood Pump House before returning to Cromford. Narrowboat Birdswood’s 2014 season of passenger trips starts on March 12th, with trips every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday (see www.cromfordcanal.org for details.) Belper Sub Aqua Club (www.belperdivers.co.uk) dives all over the UK and celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Stuart Mason, a spokesman for the club, said: “We were glad to help this local charitable volunteer organisation move a step further towards their aim of restoring the historic Cromford Canal for the benefit of the public.” Mike Kelley, Boat Operations Manager for Friends of the Cromford Canal, said: “We’re very grateful to Belper Sub Aqua Club for quickly and efficiently performing a vital task in the depths of winter. Their work plus the efforts of DCC and our own members will enable us to offer a regular trip boat service that can be enjoyed by local people and tourists visiting the beautiful and historic Derwent Valley.”

Young Royals Meet The Boxing Cow Champ

‘Lightnin’, the boxing champion cow who scored four clear knock-outs during the recent Ashover pantomime, has promised to be on her best behaviour when she takes to the village streets for this year’s May Day Carnival. She was given a stiff talking-to this week by

newly-elected May King (Alex Knighton) and Queen (Freya Riley) – pictured with ‘Lightnin’ – who were out and about meeting their subjects. ‘Lightnin’ (who often masquerades as church member Claire Bonsall) agreed to leave her boxing gloves at home during the

DANCING INTO FIRST PLACE!!!

parish carnival and to be her normally lovable self during the customary procession through the village. Freya and Alex were chosen as the new Royals during the annual parish party. Nine-year-old Alex and seven-year-old Freya are both pupils at Ashover Primary School and will be crowned on May Day, May 5, by Town Crier Merrick Bull and his wife Sandy. Freya’s attendants will be Lucy Evans, Bethany Stanley, Laurie Kelly, Abbey Coates, Maddie Kelly, Jennifer Daykin, Daniel

Knighton and Maria Kelly. Alex’s attendants will be Charlie May Hallows, Millie Rafter, Freya Riggot, Hannah Preece, Zachary Coates and Theo Bell. Garland attendants this year are: Amber Stanley, Sadie Hardwick, Isobelle Kemp, Estee Hunter-Bott, Alice Evans, Lily Seddon, Freja Bradley, Evie Bell, Cebe Hunter-Bott, Daisy Ross, Lottie Kelly, Verity Camm, Aviva Adcock-Collis, Sophie Woodhead, Emily Daykin, Lucy TomlinsonWaller, Anthony Stanley, Hugh Kelly, Zak Preece and Joseph Hopkinson.

Saturday 1st February saw another brilliant win for Bakewell Young Farmers Club at the first round of the annual dance competition at The Metro Hotel in Derby. This year the genre is Disco Dancing and the routine is choreographed by our very own members. And after months of gruelling practices they competed against other Derbyshire clubs to achieve an incredible 1st place. Now the team is straight back into practices, preparing to compete at the East Midlands round of the competition in Skegness on the 15th March at the Young Farmers competitions weekend. The club have also achieved an amazing 3rd place in this year’s entertainments competition held on Sunday 9th February, where they performed scenes from a production called ‘Yoklahoma’ written by our very own chairman Lucy Thompson. So far this year the club are enjoying great successes and are having lots of fun along the way.

Come and join us at a meeting on a wednesday evening and you can be part of these amazing activities. For more information contact press officer AmyBeth Needham on 07920 065682.

MATLOCK PROBUS CLUB

HAVE YOUR BOILER SERVICED

Wearing Chain of Office is new Chairman, Graham Bowmer with retiring Chairman Peter Shaw The meeting of Matlock Probus Club on 6th February saw the installation of the new Chairman for 2014, Mr Graham Bowmer, with his Badge of Office, by the retiring Chairman, Mr Peter Shaw. He in turn was presented with a tie and badge as a memento of his successful year in office. The short ceremony was followed by an illustrated talk by Mr Bill Ixer on the work of the charity ‘Engineers for Disaster Relief’, now known as RedR. It is an international disaster relief charity that helps to save lives around the world by up-to-date skills training for local nongovernmental humanitarian workers and by providing skilled professionals in the fields of engineering, logistics and medical services for example. The first RedR organisation was formed in the UK in 1980.

APEX ELECTRICAL

HRH The Princess Royal has been the charity’s President since 1988. The early 1990s saw a growing interest and enthusiasm from groups in other countries to start their own RedR organisation so RedR International was set up in 1993 to support these organisations. Apart from the UK there are also currently organisations in Australia, India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and New Zealand. This reflects those areas of greatest need – Kenya, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Sudan, Haiti, Sri Lanka, for example - where floods, quakes, tsunamis and global conflicts prevail and where such disasters require safe water, sanitation, food, shelter and health services to be urgently provided. Matlock Probus Club meets for lunch at 12 noon at The Duke William Hotel, Starkholmes, on the first

Allwood Kitchens

At Allwood we are sure that the quality and price of our handmade solid wood furniture can not be beaten. A small team of expert craftsmen, led by a national award-winning designer, work directly with the customer, cutting out all unnecessary overheads and costs which usually inflate the price.

TANSLEY FILM PRESENTS

“LINCOLN”

TUESDAY 4th MARCH Tansley Film will be showing “Lincoln” (Certificate 12A) in Tansley Village Hall on Tuesday 4th March. Steven Spielberg directs Daniel Day-Lewis as the 16th US president during his tumultuous final months in office. The nation is divided by war and Lincoln attempts to unite the country and abolish slavery.

The film also stars Sally Field, as Lincoln's wife, and Tommy Lee Jones. It was nominated for 12 Oscars and Daniel Day-Lewis received the BAFTA Best Actor award. An award, Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian believes, was fully deserved as Day -Lewis created a “masterful central

performance.” Philip French

Jo Darley of Froggatt, Hope Valley, collected a rescue dog from Jerry Green Dog Rescue in Broughton, North Lincs, on Sunday 9th February. “We loved her immediately,” said Jo, “and after three visits, we were allowed to bring her home.” Cassie, as she is called, is a beautiful cream-coloured Lurcher and seemed to settle in quickly, but on Tuesday morning at about 8.15am she spotted her chance and escaped through the gate and was away like the wind up Moorlands Lane and onto the A625 Froggatt Edge. Jo, dressed only in a purple fluffy dressing gown and slippers, ran after her. “There was no time to be wasted,” said Jo, “so I beetled off up the road in the pouring rain, splashing through the river running down the side of the road. I must have looked a strange sight, because a young man in a black car stopped and asked if I was OK.” Jo explained what had happened, so the young man offered to take her in the car to look for the dog. At the next bend, Jo spotted a young lady in school uniform coming towards them, leading Cassie by the collar. Having no coat on, she was drenched. “I was so relieved,” said Jo, “and the young man took us back home. I don’t know who these two extremely kind people were, but I would like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to them for rescuing Cassie from the A625 rushhour traffic. She had had no experience of traffic and might have been injured or worse. If they will contact me on 01433 631523, I will give a donation to a charity of their choice.”

THE ARMED MAN – KARL JENKINS (A Mass for Peace) The Armed Man is a powerful and challenging account of the descent into, and terrible consequences of, war. It was commissioned for the millennium by Britain’s Royal Armouries and is a contemporary example of a mass based on the 15th century French song L’Homme Arme (The Armed Man). It is set within the framework of the Christian mass and uses both sacred and secular texts.

With your help the charity can reach 14,000 more people in remote farming communities. People like Aishatu who lives in a village called Ndop in North West Cameroon and who said this about her village’s new water source... “So much has changed since Village Aid helped us complete the water project here. The children used to have to walk very far to collect water; they were late for school so their education was affected. Diarrhoea was a big problem. We often had to fight to get water... The change in our lives is so marvellous that I have no words to express our

happiness and gratitude about what has been done. You have changed lives, especially for women.” Village Aid is asking Peak District people to reach into their pockets and donate to change lives in Cameroon. Just £9 would help a woman like Aishatu have access to safe drinking water. £27.20 from 100 Peak District residents could buy the taps and piping required for a community of 1000 people. The charity also offers opportunities for business and community groups to sponsor a water project. Donations can be made via Village Aid’s website www.villageaid.org or by sending a cheque to Village Aid, Suite 1, Riverside Business Park, Buxton Road, Bakewell, Derbyshire, DE45 1GS.

Tideswell Male Voice Choir Cut Tracks

Tideswell M.V.C. recording 2014 CD. Photo courtesy of 4 Part Music Members of Tideswell Male Voice Choir met at Hope Valley College last weekend to record songs for their latest CD. Under the direction of the choir’s Principal Director of Music Dennis Kay, the choir recorded the songs that had formed the major part of the 2013 Autumn concerts held at the

Stockport Plaza and the Buxton Opera House. The choir were reunited with the soloists, Erin Alexander, Charlotte Hoather, Matthew Mellor, Madeleine Osbourne and Phil Rigley to perform the Les Miserables Spectacular, which had been highly appreciated by the audiences at the

live performances last October. With Christopher Ellis, the choir’s Principal Accompanist on piano, guest drummer Derrick McGill and Don Edwards on the Harmonica this CD promises to be the best yet from this acclaimed ensemble. CD’s will be available from March ahead of the Choir’s Spring

programme which starts with a tour to Wales and is followed with the Concert at St John’s Church, Buxton, where the Tideswell MVC team up with guests The Felling Male Voice Choir. For further information on the spring events and 2014 concerts visit the new website www.tideswellmvc.co.uk

EMILY BRAILSFORD NOMINATED FOR THE INSPIRATIONAL WOMEN OF THE YEAR AWARDS

Nominated for the Inspirational Women of the Year awards, Derbys, Emily Brailsford chairs a support group for parents and carers of children with special needs. A stay-at-home mother of three, Emily is also an active and forward-thinking member of the community. She was moved to fill a gap in local services: “I started Parenting Additional Needs due to

the lack of support groups in and around Matlock to help me with my eldest child. It has grown from one group in Matlock to five groups in just under three years, and we are still growing. We aim to support parents and carers of children with any additional need.” Helping to tackle the causes of poverty, Emily is also the main coordinator for Christian Aid in St. Giles

parish, Matlock. The run-up to Christian Aid week (1117 May) is a particularly busy time in terms of planning and motivating volunteers. Mrs Brailsford also organises St Giles Godly Play, a family-friendly activity session with Bible stories and crafts on the third Wednesday of the month. An accomplished singer, she is strongly involved with the church

choir. How does Emily fit all this in? “Put it this way, I have basically given up watching television.” Perhaps the world really would be a better place if more of us invested such time and dedication! www.parentingadditionalne eds.org.uk www.stgilesmatlock.co.uk/ groups/godly-play (see also the Coming Events page).

Andrew Mallyon-Price, John Kobyashi, Rebecca Stephenson and Chris Bills. On 4th January 2013, Andrew Mallyon-Price and his team of staff were going about their normal duties on the Household Waste Recycling Centre where they work when a customer, John Mayfield, who was visiting the site to dispose of his waste and recycling suffered a heart attack. Seeing the emergency situation occurring Andrew rushed to his aid along with John and passing ex-nurse Rebecca Stephenson. While colleague Chris secured the area, Rebecca and the two HW Martin employees began to perform CPR on Mr Mayfield. Fortunately, Rebecca, a playgroup supervisor, had attended a St JohnAmbulance refresher training course just days before, so working together with HW Martin employees Andrew MallyonPrice and John Kobyashi who had also received first aid training, they were able to perform CPR on John Mayfield for almost 30 minutes before

an ambulance arrived. Rebecca praised the ambulance control for their calm support during the incident, and thankfully, John Mayfield recovered well and has since been fitted with an ICD. His family credits the quick intervention of the HW

Martin employees and Rebecca with his survival. SJA Statement Sue Killen, Chief Executive at St John Ambulance said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We are delighted that Rebecca has come forward, so that we can recognise her achievements.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Working as a team, these deserving individuals were the difference between life and death and we are looking forward to celebrating with them and many more of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life savers at the Everyday Heroes awards ceremony on 26 March.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

WIRKSWORTH & DISTRICT PROBUS CLUB

The Chairman, Colin Pidgeon introduced Ian McEwen who gave a talk on “10 things you didn’t know about the Magistracy”. Ian has been a practising magistrate for the past 15 years and his knowledge produced a very interesting and detailed description of how the magistrates court system works. The structure of the courts was described and the duties of all the court officials explained. He outlined a year in his life as a magistrate and since this is a voluntary position, he has to devote a large amount of his time to it. His specialisation is in youth crime and the system of dealing with young offenders. This was compared to that of adult offenders. The various types of sentence were explained in detail. He discussed the measures to make offenders

comfortable and relaxed in court since this can be a terrifying experience for some people. It was also a surprise that 95% of the crimes committed in this country are handled by the Magistrates Courts. Ian opened our eyes to a system we take for granted and often know little about. There was plenty of audience participation by the numerous questions which were raised throughout the talk. In fact, it was not 10 things we did not know about the Magistracy but many more. Ian was given special vote of thanks by Peter Binks. The next meeting of the above club is on the 10th of March when Helen Monk will be giving a talk on “Denby – A potted history”. Meetings are held at the Hope and Anchor and commence at 10.30 am. New members and visitors are always welcome.

DONATIONS NEEDED TO HELP FIRS PARADE, MATLOCK MIND CHARITY SHOP WEATHER THE STORM HIGH PEAK WINDOW The Firs Parade, Matlock Mind “Usually the Firs Parade, stock. The money raised from charity shop has seen a sharp Matlock Mind charity shop is sales then goes to support drop in profits this week as perilous weather conditions prevent local residents from visiting to donate stock and peruse the latest bargains. Winter is typically the busiest time of year for local Mind shops, as people declutter their cupboards and donate their pre-loved clothes, accessories, books and bric-abrac. Equally, shrewd shoppers flock to the store eager to pick up unique pieces at fantastic prices. However, as a result of the recent cold conditions, both donations and custom have diminished as people opt to say indoors. Andrew Vale, managing director of Mind shops said:

At the meeting held on Tuesday 11 February 2014 members enjoyed a talk by Mrs. Gill Sprakes entitled “Colours to dye for”. The setting for the talk had been carefully and painstakingly prepared to produce a large, colourful and impressive exhibition of dyed fibres which served as a very effective visual aid to reinforce Mrs. Sprake’s presentation. The audience were given a brief history of the development of dyeing which took them far back into pre-Christian times and outlined a large number of natural materials which could be used as dyes. Dyes varied tremendously in value and esteem and the wearing of certain colours was restricted to privileged

classes. Purple was, for example, reserved for royalty. Mrs. Sprakes went on to explain the way in which, in addition to the more expensive sources of dye, colours could be made from the flowers, roots and leaves of readily available sources such as dandelions, marigolds, dahlias and blackberries for example. The great days of maritime exploration meant that previously unknown countries yielded up a large range of new dyes and many of these discoveries were valued more highly than the traditional treasures sought out by Elizabethan captains and privateers such as Drake. The next really significant development came with the

use of chemicals in the dyeing process. As a way of explaining the main features of this development, Mrs Sprake looked in more detail at the use of alum as an example of the way in which science has widened the scope of the dyeing industry. The talk was very enjoyable and enhanced by the expert but relaxed way the subject was treated and was followed by a number of questions and contributions from the audience. A vote of thanks was proposed by Club chairman Jim Pocklington. Details of the activities and programme of the Club can be found on its web site as follows. wwmatlockforumclub.co.uk

inundated with fantastic donations. However the recent extreme winter has had a huge impact and our sales are really suffering as a result. Donating and shopping at Mind helps support the one in four people in the UK who will experience mental distress every year. Now more than ever, we need the support of residents and so urge anyone who can to please pop instore and help us to continue our fundraising work for Mind.” Mind relies on local residents’ generosity as each bag of donated goods can have a cash equivalent of £20 once turned into saleable

people with mental health problems, helping fund the MindinfoLine and our information and advice services, as well as 20% of profits going directly to Local Mind Associations who deliver regional support and care. Without regular donations the Mind shops network looks to lose over £100,000 a week - which could go towards helping people experiencing mental distress. Mind is therefore calling all local residents to delve into their cupboards and contact the Mind shop to find out how they can best donate nolonger used items in the current climate.

On 2nd February All Saints Messy Church explored together the Parable of the Good Samaritan - and what it

means to help people, even those we find difficult to like.. Activities included making greetings cards (pictured),

writing prayers for people who are in danger or sad or ill, making origami purses, and pinning the tail on the Good Samaritanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horse! To illustrate that people and situations are not always as they first seem photographs of everyday objects from unusual angles provided a challenge. Adults and children of all ages worked hard and had fun together, producing some imaginative results.

Return to the bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and leave to rest in a warm place for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make the pizza sauce. Fry the onion in a little olive oil for around 5 minutes, until soft. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute. Stir in the tomatoes and herbs, reduce the heat and simmer gently for 15 minutes without a lid – the sauce should thicken slightly. Blend using a hand blender or food processor to create a smooth sauce. Wilt the spinach leaves by putting into a microwavable bowl with a splash of water and cooking on high for 30 seconds (or by stir-frying in a little olive oil for 2-3 minutes). Roll the dough out into 2 large rounds then spread the tomato sauce over the pizza bases (saving any surplus sauce to use another time – it can be frozen). Sprinkle cheese over the sauce then add the spinach leaves. Cook at 180°C for 10 minutes, remove from oven and crack an egg onto the centre of each pizza. Return to the oven for a further 56 minutes, until the eggs are set and the cheese is golden. Penny Bunting www.littlegreenspace.org.uk Twitter @LGSpace

In addition he completed a Functional Skills Level 1 course in Maths with Hope Valley Adult Community Education. Josh enjoyed both courses, especially the plastering and said that he learned new skills thank to his tutor, Clifford Rodgers whom he found very helpful. His plastering techniques he learnt on the course are currently proving very useful in his job as he is the only one in the decorating firm, Garton Decorators Ltd, with these skills. Courses are held throughout the year at Hope Valley Adult Community Education and Bakewell Adult Community Education Centres and there are discounts available to those who are out of work and claiming Job Seekers and Employment Support Allowance.

Your Totally Independent Local Newspaper HOBS originated in the mid1980s. Following the closure of the local Toc-H, a few of the former members of that organisation decided to retain the friendships they had formed by meeting once a month for dinner at a local hostelry. Other like-minded people joined them and through raffles, donations and judicial housekeeping, money accrued. This was used to purchase items for the local hospitals, then two in number. As they became more selfassured it was decided to form a club, a Constitution was written and a name sought. Because their activities had extended to minor labouring tasks at the hospitals such as internal decoration, gardening and putting up and taking down Christmas decorations and lights, the Hospitals of Bakewell Supporters Club came into being with the acronym HOBS becoming well-known. Sadly, the National Health Service decided that two hospitals were one too many for Bakewell and sold the War Memorial Cottage Hospital. Then the requirements of the

HOBS Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 gradually put paid to almost all of the well-intended physical support. On top of these the ensuing financial climate inhibited much of the generosity of the local commercial undertakings which have supported HOBS so very well over the years. So HOBS moved with the times and, today, money accrued from monthly dinner evenings (mostly with guest speaker), bi-annual coffee mornings, an annual charity stall, coach outings and other convivial events, together with welcome contributions from well-wishers, is used to support local voluntary bodies and humanitarian appeals; Ashgate Hospice and the Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance included. HOBS is entirely self supporting, receiving no official grants whatsoever, just goodwill and good nature, yet, whilst enjoying their pursuits, have over the years, been pleased to donate well over

£30,000 in cash or kind. But fund-raising is not the principal aim of the club. Friendship is and many old friendships have been rekindled and new ones formed at HOBS. No one in Bakewell and the surrounding villages should feel alone. There is always a welcome at HOBS. Membership is open to anyone over 55 years of age (a rule which does not apply to chaperones) and is, at present limited to (a flexible!) 60 in number. Ages currently range from mid-60s to mid-90s. Anyone interested please phone Harold 01629 812507; Ken 01629 815494 or Sandra 01629 813153.

STILL AN EXCELLENT SPEAKER AT NINETY-FOUR Senior Bakewell and District Probus member, Col. Leslie Wright set aside his years at a recent Club meeting at the Monsal Head hotel, to deliver an inspiring talk about reflections on 1855 and the Crimea war. A very well researched resume of a talk that Col. Leslie recalled giving in 1980!! Famous names were recalled. Lords Sandwich and Cardigan, together with Florence

Nightingale and the arrival of the telegraph system. Plus the arrival of the Victoria Cross, of which no fewer than 111 were awarded in 1857. A truly remarkable man with a truly remarkable story. Introduced by Chairman Don Mackenzie and thanked by Cliff Mansfield, Col Leslie resumed his seat to prolonged applause from his fellow members.

Col Leslie Wright, left with fellow member Pat Erskine Murray

A NEW YEAR FOR THE ROWSLEY WI

Ably assisted by her supportive secretaries and treasurer, a slightly nervous new President, Tanya Thomas, kicked off the first meeting of the year with a lively discussion of the new programme (if readers would like a copy, please email rowsleywi@hotmail.co.uk) and a run through of the business meeting before handing over to the wonderful Roma, local entrepreneur and deli extraordinaire. Roma talked us through her wonderful working life, from the grocers at 'Top Shop' in Rowsley to her latest venture, Basilia in Langley Mill. Along the way, we were entertained by tales of local competition, shocked by the supermarket tactics that threaten the independent High Street (a cause close to the heart of recent WI

campaigns), and delighted with a selection of eatable treats from locally sourced, independent traders and manufacturers. We were all especially taken with the suitably special Bakewell Tart, developed by Roma's maternal grandfather, and former master baker: a real tasty end to our talk and a suitable start to the traditional WI supper. Our next meeting, Thursday March 13th, Rowsley Village Hall, 7.15pm would be an excellent chance for local ladies to come along and get a feel for the WI as we host our own 'Dabble Day' for crafts. Members will be bringing along a craft that they enjoy and sharing it as we learn more about each other and our interests - the kettle will be on; why not come along?

AUTHENTIC FURNITURE

Our Authentic Furniture really is the best of British when it comes to craftsmanship. So, if you’re looking for a new sofa take a look at our handy tips to help guide you through. 1. Buy British – OK, you may think we’re biased but British is best. Our furniture is handmade in Long Eaton, Derbyshire by craftsmen who have been in the industry for generations. You may not be aware but Long Eaton is the home of British upholstery, many of the country’s top upholstery craftsmen are located here and their skills are appreciated the world over. 2. Ask how’s it made? – The construction of the sofa is vital as it will ensure the sofa remains comfortable and keep its shape for years to come. 3. The Frame – Extremely important. I always tell our customers at Authentic that you spend most of your time sitting on your sofa not looking at it. You really need to think about what lies beneath, quality goes much deeper than looks. Ideally you’re looking for a seasoned hardwood frame that is screwed and glued then individually dowelled at the key stress points - this is the traditional way and still the best. 4. Wood – What is the sofa made from, what type of wood has been used? The best frames are made from

Proper, British craftsmanship showing in the handmade sofa frame seasoned hardwood, parts - certainly no generally beech. A lot of work chipboard! goes into seasoning wood, it 5. Where you sit – This is involves drying the timber in obviously important, you a kiln which will ensure the want to be comfortable. It’s best to try before you frame keeps its shape. Unseasoned timber can buy, you should look for move as it dries and this will comfort in the seat and support in the back cause the frame to cushions. A coil shrink and crack. sprung base The best will offer sofas use you the s o l i d best panels comfort m a d e and support from birch for years, hardwood for equally the the non-structural

flexibility in the coil sprung base will help prevent your base cushions from breaking up on the front edge. All Authentic Furniture sofas are made with hand-tied coil sprung bases. 6. Cushion fillings – When it comes to the filling of the seat, advice can vary. Many people suggest ‘feather down’ but this can require a lot of attention. Some sofas will have a firmer feather topped foam base cushion, at Authentic we use a fibre wrap cushion which offers longevity and the ultimate in comfort. 7. Upholstery workmanship The traditional craft of furniture upholstery is alive and kicking, but at the same time many companies look to cut corners to save money. Proper craftsmen won’t compromise, they have pride and passion in the furniture they make. At Authentic you won't find anything but the real deal, each sofa has 7 individual layers of upholstery - so when choosing your sofa always ask what materials are used “under the surface”. Remember you get what you pay for and the best of British doesn’t come cheap. Buy the best quality you can afford. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to get in touch with us here at Authentic Furniture. View our range of sofas on our web site at www.authenticfurniture.co.uk

Capturing the charm of real wood but eliminating many of its shortcomings for outdoor environments, Deckraft decking is moulded from prime oak samples, replicating the beautiful qualities of the original natural timber. Each board is hand-finished to reproduce the detail of natural wood with minimal repetition and can be sawn and fitted like wood. Unique and safe The textured and resilient surface of Deckraft decking is unique in that it provides a tough, algae-repellent surface which greatly enhances slip resistance in wet conditions to provide possibly the safest natural looking ‘non-timber’ decking board available. All Deckraft decking boards have no wood content to feed algae growth, algae makes decking slippery. Due to its non-porous nature, Deckraft decking needs little maintenance other than an occasional wash. Its very stable composition and fade resistant finish ensures it as a highly weather stable product, produced and finished to the highest standards.

The environment Made using a blend of recycled material that makes use of hard-to-use waste and reclaimed natural minerals. The manufacture of Deckraft decking helps to conserve the earth’s resources as well as reducing landfill, and helping conserve mature hardwood forests – not a single tree is cut down to produce Deckraft decking. These decking boards do not leach out tannins so will not contaminate their surroundings. The materials used in the production of Deckraft decking boards offer a high durability and longevity, coupled with a low energy process in terms of manufacture. Made by ethical production processes, manufacturing takes place within the UK, helping maintain a low carbon footprint and helping conserve our natural timber resource. 11 good reasons for you to choose Deckraft decking 1. Made using ecofriendly materials 2. Maintenance free requires no upkeep 3. Highly anti-slip in

the wet 4. Does not rot, splinter or warp 5. Does not host algae growth 6. UV weather stable 7. Resistant to food

Karl Rex – Baslow Health Manager – “My Time in the Army” Karl suggested (in dangerous decibels!) a spot of Square Bashing in Baslow Car Park! What more could a girl ask for?

Apparently he got a lot of practice - upset an officer and you get twenty press ups. Karl gave us a powerful and dramatic insight into life in the forces.

Occasionally Karl revealed glimpses of frontline fear, of ruthless desperation and of chilling encounters... And then, we empathised with mothers, wives and family who belong to “Our Boys”.

The preparation for the day is extensive. An international committee works from New York and each participating country has its own national committee. Regional conferences meet to consider the service and then local groups make their plans. Finally, at a church near you on March 7th, women and men will gather to celebrate using a programme of worship offered this year by

women in Egypt. The theme of our service is ‘Streams in the Desert’ and we are asked to reflect on our Christian role of being a ‘stream in the desert’ for those who experience spiritual ‘drought’. We believe that the service from Egypt has universal appeal. One of the oldest civilisations in the world, Egypt has long been home to Coptic Christians. Since the uprising 2011 there has been conflict between religious groupings. Political change affects individual lives and we pray with the women of Egypt for peace. We envisage a great

wave of prayer, rising with the sun over the island of Samoa and sweeping across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas, coming to rest in American Samoa some 36 hours later. By then WWDP services will have been celebrated in over 170 countries. All are welcome to attend, men and women and people of all ages. For further information and resources, together with details of services in your area, see the WWDP w e b s i t e : www.wwdp.org.uk Mrs Beryl Briddon is the speaker at St Giles Church, Matlock at 2pm.

The Bonsall & Derbyshire Dales Link of Chernobyl Children’s Life Line, CCLL, was formed in 2002 by its current chairman, Chris Broome, a Bonsall resident since 1988. The Link is one of 130 Links throughout Great Britain that raises its own funds to bring groups of between ten and twenty Belarusian and Ukrainian children who live in contaminated areas today to their local area for 4-week recuperative holidays, offering clean air, clean (uncontaminated) food, lots of fun, love and attention as well as free eye tests and dental check-ups/treatment if needed. The invited groups are now 2nd generation children, their parents being children themselves at the time of the Chernobyl Disaster in 1986. The children today have the same health issues as many of their parents had and still have to live with today, and they need our continued help to improve their prospects of leading a healthier and longer life. Radiation ingested from food and drinks as well as from dust in the air can give rise to many diseases in children and young adults, including life threatening cancers, heart disease and

disorders which can affect many other organs in the body. The Bonsall & Derbyshire Dales Link are urgently appealing for volunteer families (including couples of all ages with or without children) to host children of between 10 and 12 years of age, in pairs for two or four weeks in this years’ summer programme, July 19th to August 14th, 2014. We would be delighted to hear from families living in the Derbyshire Dales area. The link’s ‘base’ is the village of Bonsall and some of the organised activities will require the children to be brought to Bonsall. The link currently has host families and support families that live in Matlock, Wirksworth, Darley Dale, Rowsley as well as from other Derbyshire Dales villages, including Hathersage. If you would like to make a real difference to the lives of the Chernobyl children then please contact Chris Broome, the Link Chairman, on tel. 01629 824512 or by email to chair.bonsall@ccll.org.uk. For more information about the work of the charity visit the national charity website at www.ccll.org.uk

This, combined with our membership of the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) and high level of training means that I don’t have much trouble explaining to clients the great quality and professional service they will receive.” To find out more about the local lettings market and the lettings services Bagshaws can offer, contact Steven or James at Bagshaws in Bakewell on 01629 815 239 or email Bakewelllet@sequencehome. co.uk

PROFESSIONALLY QUALIFIED NO VAT CHARGED On Saturday, February 15th the Rotary Club of Bakewell held their annual Pea and Pie Supper in the Ashford Village Institute. This year demand was at a record level as ninety-four Rotarians and their guests squeezed into the hall and seating was expanded to accommodate them. For simplicity, the Club engaged the services of

Maycocks of Holloway who provided a tasty meal of pie and peas. These were followed by a choice of lemon meringue pie or meringue nests with fruits and coffee or tea. The result was a delicious repast. As last year, the “Heads and Tails” group of Tom Pilkington on the guitar and Robin Bower on the banjo with their mixture of nostalgic

popular songs of by-gone favourites entertained the audience who were happy to join the singing. A great success was the raffle organised by Rotarian Brian Singleton which raised £405, which came second only to the funds previously raised for Help the Heroes. The evening was organised by the International Committee of the Rotary Club

to raise funds for the Cambodia Land Mine Relief fund, which sends brave young men and women to deactivate some of the thousands of land mines spread by the Khmer Rouge. Also to provide funds for projects in Rwanda run by the Goboka Trust. The Club were pleased to raise a little over £900 for these good causes.

FIDLER TAYLOR’S FEBRUARY GENERAL AND COLLECTORS SALE Tel: 01246 268777 or 07977 063852 www.selfstorageandremovals.co.uk

Fidler Taylor’s February General and Collectors Sale generated one of the highest levels of attendance seen for some time with strong prices being paid for collectables particularly. The highest price of the day was achieved for a damaged Brampton four-part egg cruet which sold at £360 and a double bow spindle back Windsor chair sold at £210. Furniture continues to be disappointing, with a substantial period style plate rack dresser with pot board and fitted drawers selling at a very disappointing £45. However, much against the run of the day, a teak veneered folding home office sold at a startling £150. A Stag cheval mirror achieved £55 but a wardrobe only £5. Pottery sold reasonably well with “pretty” tea services still attracting good interest. A substantial quantity of blue and pink decorated C19th tableware sold at £120. Silver and metal ware remains encouraging with an

unmarked “silver” cigarette box selling at £200, an engraved silver vinaigrette at £130 and a silver backed dressing table set at £190. Pictures showed some improvement and mirrors continue to attract a good level of interest with a large gilt framed over mantel in need of substantial restoration selling at £75. Collectables were very much the order of the day. Two boxes of moulding planes achieved £150, a lot of six WWII medals sold at £95 and a WW1 trench art tank inscribed Ypres and Arras sold at £65. A tin plate Triang milk lorry achieved £60 and five British Rail timetable posters sold at £50. A leather bound travelling trunk achieved £55 and a dome topped leather bound trunk £45. A sign written soap box with a collection of early C20th magazines sold to brisk bidding at £40. The Auctioneers’ next General Sale is on 8 March and entries are already

being taken for the Spring Antique Sale on 5 April. The catalogue will close in early March. Entries are also being taken for Fidler

Taylor’s annual Garden Sale of plants, ornaments and garden tools which this year will be held on Saturday 3 May.

MILLER’S DALE & DISTRICT W I Miller’s Dale & District W.I. met at Litton Village Hall on Wednesday 12th. February for their monthly meeting. Just over half the members managed to attend on such an awful night of gales and rain; Judy Cooper – our President thanked everyone for coming. Judy then introduced our Speaker – Sally Shaw whose talk was entitled ‘Something from Nothing’. Sally makes costumes for several Amateur Dramatic Societies – none of whom have much money available for costumes. She brought lots of costumes she had made with her and explained how she had managed to create them with very little money outlay. Sally uses Charity Shops and “anything that

looks good”. We all thoroughly enjoyed her most interesting talk. This was followed by refreshments and then The Business Meeting. Members were reminded that the year 2015 is The W.I.’s Centenary, and celebrations are being planned. We will be running a ‘Plant Stall’ at our May ‘RESOLUTION’ meeting. The July outing to Shardlow has been confirmed. The next meeting is on 12th March at 7.30pm. our usual venue Litton Village Hall. The Speaker is Paul Fletcher; his talk is on ‘Walking from Derby to London’. We are always very pleased to welcome friends, visitors and new members to our monthly meetings.

MOTHERS’ TALES

Stories of old-time motherhood cover all the emotional extremes but those relating to the poorer classes can make sad reading. A new baby was an extra burden on a family living in poverty with a houseful of children and the strain sometimes led to violence. Local newspapers of around a century ago have frequent reports of men ill-treating their wives. A Bonsall chimney sweep was ordered to pay a £1 fine or serve a month’s hard labour for beating his wife with a poker and his sweeping rods ‘to show her who was master’. Their two-week old baby fell off the sofa during the commotion but that did not stop dad continuing with his ‘lesson’. Women left to bring up children alone could become desperate. In the summer of 1899, a labourer’s wife appeared in court after abandoning her two-month old daughter in a ladies’ toilet on Buxton railway station. In great distress and sobbing helplessly, the mother told the court that she had two other children and a ‘bad husband’ who had deserted her. The case was adjourned and the woman was given

strongest recommendation to mercy’. She was reprieved and eventually returned home but we have no record of the fate of her unborn baby. In 1899, a young single woman from Alport was accused of murdering her newborn infant and hiding its body in a lead mine shaft. The mother was found not guilty of murder but was sentenced to three months in prison. The case aroused a great deal of

together in the same coffin. In 1835, Nancy Furness of Bradwell died in childbirth; she had been married for only six weeks. But rich and poor suffered alike. A beautiful and moving monument in Rowsley church bears an effigy of Catherine Manners and her infant daughter, Edith (pictured below). They lie as though asleep, guarded by angels. As the wife of John Manners, Catherine had been destined to become

sympathy and many local people declared that they would have served the time for her if they could. Childbirth used to carry high risks. It often came about that a new mother and her baby were buried

Duchess of Rutland. Born underground It was a blessing in the 19th century if your baby arrived in a hurry, like the infant born in Speedwell mine at Castleton: ‘The mother of the late Mr Jeremy Royse

sympathetic advice on visiting her baby, who had been taken to the workhouse at Chapel en le Frith. Unwanted children were often brought up in a workhouse until old enough to work. Some were foundlings, abandoned soon after birth and maybe left at the workhouse door. It was common for a heavily-pregnant single woman to arrive at the workhouse just in time to give birth, leaving immediately afterwards without her baby. Guarded by angels There could be a great deal of shame in being an unmarried mother. In July 1880 Mary Wright was charged with murdering her 3-year-old daughter, fathered by a labourer working on the family farm. He had deserted Mary when she fell pregnant again, but this time farmer Wright banished his daughter and grandchild from the house. The distraught Mary tried to take both their lives by jumping into a mere – thought to be Blake Mere – on Bonsall Moor (pictured above). The child drowned but Mary survived. She was sentenced to death on a charge of murder at Derby Assizes, though ‘with the

was one day at work there and, owing to some excitement, was taken with labour-pains prematurely, when a tub was speedily turned into an apology for a couch, and there little Jeremy, who afterwards became proprietor or lessee of the mine, was born.’ Some travelling women stopped just long enough to give birth before continuing on their wanderings, such as the vagrant who in 1779 gave birth to a baby boy in the street at Eyam. Darley Dale parish records refer to the burial of a female child of a travelling woman. Fairground mothers had their babies wherever they happened to be at the time. A resident of Winster recalls in Winster, a Peak District Village Remembers: ‘Auntie Nancy used to tell me that one of the children was born there [on Winster Bank], and she was involved in the birth of this baby, because they were like nomads these fair people, and one of them was born up there.’ Finally, we can lay claim to a local connection with that well-loved nursery rhyme Rock-a-bye-Baby. Tradition has it that this lullaby originated with the wife of a charcoal burner, a mother of eight who rocked her babies to sleep in the branches of a yew tree. Walkers can see the remains of this very tree by following the Betty Kenny Trail in Shining Cliff Woods near Ambergate. Julie Bunting

Events held before Christmas which included cakes stalls, a coffee morning, a sponsored cycle ride, bucket collections and even bespoke cake making to order proved to be so successful that the target was easily exceeded. Canon Truby commented, “The churches of the Wirksworth Team Ministry have been in partnership with the diocese of Durgapur, in the Church of North India for ten years. Our current project aims to help the students of St Peter’s, where many of the children can be walking for up to three hours to and from school, so the purchase of rickshaw buses will make school a real possibility for many. We are so grateful to the students at Anthony Gell who have made the purchase of three buses possible. They are giving so many students in India a springboard to life.” Chris Whittall, head of Gell House, who helped coordinate the fund-raising added, “The response of the students at Gell was remarkable. They have showed such energy and enthusiasm for the project. They are rightly proud of

TADDINGTON & DISTRICT W.I.

February was the first meeting of 2014 and our guest speaker was a local lady, Therese Squires who came along to the Bramwell Institute to tell and show us ‘How Grandma made it’. Therese, who has a tremendous knowledge of textiles brought along boxes of ‘treasures’ she had collected over many years and it seemed like The Antiques Road Show had come to Taddington. The first thing we saw were dainty little pincushions in various designs, shapes and sizes, some of which were almost 200 years old. Then came a case full of very fine knitting needles (no quick knit double knitting then), and crochet hooks all neatly displayed. Therese has a passion for quirky items and her treasure box contained beautifully carved teething pegs in ivory and bone. What stories they could have told about who had originally used them. Another box held exquisitely embroidered hand stitched nightdresses and undergarments, and we were amazed at the tiny

stitches and intricate pintucks. These were all made long before the use of sewing machines and we were surprised to learn that sewing machines had been around for about 150 years, and that enabled people to own more clothes as to make them more quickly made them less expensive. We were privileged to be able to see and touch fine linen and cotton sheets, still usable, which had been embroidered by Irish cottage industry workers, all of which had designs of shamrocks incorporated. We marvelled at the lovely evening bags which would not be out of place today and the vast collection of buttons of every colour, shape and size was a real ‘talking point’. Therese also had a huge folder full of old knitting patterns, among which were patterns for ladies’ knitted vests and knickers. Essential items before central heating was invented, and most likely a good idea today with the rises in fuel bills! Therese was thanked by Helen Jagger for providing us with such an entertaining

As tea drinkers we have to realise that every one of those cups of tea we enjoy represents a powerful choice for change. So make a difference for Fairtrade Fortnight 2014, when you go shopping buy tea with the Fairtrade Mark, and help to improve the lives of thousands of farmers and workers in the developing world. Together we can make tea fair. With thanks to Jane Snell, at the Fairtrade Foundation

This year Fairtrade Fortnight runs from 24th February to 9th March, and I would like to challenge you to make a difference by buying Fairtrade teabags or loose tea when you go shopping. In January BBC2 featured a programme by journalist and adventurer Simon Reeve, called ‘The Tea Trail’. Simon headed to Kenya and then on to Mabale, Uganda, to uncover some of the people and their stories behind the nation’s best loved drink. Tea is the most popular drink in the world after water. So selling tea should be helping the people who grow it to improve their lives but, as Simon Reeve learned during his journey, the people that grow our favourite drink are affected by poverty and low wages. Part of the problem is that we are not paying enough for our tea. Visit your local supermarket and you might initially be delighted to buy a heavily discounted bargain-priced box of teabags. However, there is a human cost behind this low price that means farmers and workers remain in poverty. Fairtrade empowers workers by ensuring improvements in workers’ rights, including permanent contracts, regulated working hours, overtime, maternity, holiday and sick pay and the freedom to join a trade union. Small-scale tea farmers are also able to gain access to markets, have long-term contracts and receive a guaranteed fair price for their tea. On top of a fair price, the Fairtrade Premium is paid directly to workers on Fairtrade certified estates and to farmers in

EYAM WI NEWS – WINTER

Eyam WI branch birthday party celebrations We’ve been busy through the winter months keeping our spirits up during the dark days and long nights. We have been lucky to be able to entertain ourselves but also have the privilege of local speakers for our talks. CHRISTMAS BRING AND SHARE SUPPER In December, after we had completed our business meeting, we celebrated Christmas and our Eyam WI birthday. The order of the afternoon was a tasty buffet of party snacks, wine and home grown entertainment from some of our members’ Aladdin sketch and all of us singing carols accompanied by Betty Horton. ‘LIFE BEFORE EYAM’ Straight after New Year we were very pleased to welcome our local Parish Vicar Reverend Mike Gilbert. We all know his friendly presence in the village and this was a chance to hear him talk about various

aspects of his life that had led to his coming to Eyam. This was a very well attended meeting with a good number of ‘visitors’ joining us. SLEEP In February we heard John Donmal-Hicks, a practising hypnotherapist, talk on that most valuable aspect of life – that part we spend asleep. John described the importance of sleep for our physical and mental wellbeing but also advised on strategies we can apply to ourselves when we are finding it difficult to sleep. Whatever our various abilities to achieve a good night’s sleep, we all went away with ideas to try out. The next meeting is Thursday 6th March at 2.30pm in Eyam Mechanics’ Institute. Felicity White will speak on Life at the Royal Ballet School. As always, new members and visitors are very welcome to attend.

GREEN FESTIVAL CHALLENGE 3 Once a month the Green Festival Challenge will offer you a vegetarian recipe to try out. If you are already a vegetarian you will know that there is a range of food at your fingertips which is delicious, interesting and provides a healthy and varied diet. If you are not a vegetarian you may not realise that you could be missing out. Why not try something new? You don’t have to be vegetarian to be green nowadays the availability of locally reared and organic meat is ever growing – but including some veggie meals in your diet not only adds variety but also, in a tiny way, adds one small contribution to a greener planet . . .

Lentil Croquettes with Tomato and Basil Sauce

Ingredients – 200g red lentils 25g margarine 2 onions stick celery 200g breadcrumbs ½ tub tofutti ‘cream cheese’ 2 cloves garlic tsp chopped parsley 50g plain flour 100ml soya milk 200ml passata 2 tsp chopped fresh basil Method: Boil the lentils in just the right amount of water, easier said than done, but they need to finish up cooked but not wet. Leave to cool. Chop the onions and celery finely and place in a saucepan with the margarine. Cook over a

medium heat stirring from time to time until soft. Mix with the lentils and 100g breadcrumbs and season well with salt and pepper. You should be able to mould this mixture with your hands. If it is too soft you could add some more breadcrumbs. Make the mixture into eight balls and set aside for now. Put the tofutti in a bowl and mix with one crushed clove of garlic and the chopped parsley. Now for the fiddly bit. Flatten the balls of lentil mix. Place a teaspoon of the ‘cream cheese’ mix in the centre of each one and wrap the lentil mix around this filling. Form them into croquette shapes – that is

generally cylindrical. Next find three small bowls and place the flour in one, the soya milk in one and the remaining breadcrumbs in the other. Dip your croquettes in each bowl in this order ensuring that they are covered well at each stage. Place some sunflower oil in a saucepan about quarter of an inch deep over a medium heat. Wait until hot then cook the croquettes a few at a time turning in the hot oil until golden brown. Meanwhile mix the passata, the other crushed garlic clove and basil together, season and heat in a saucepan to make a tasty tomato sauce to accompany them. (Recipes by Trevor Denyer)

The meeting held on Friday 14 February was treated to a very enthusiastic recollection of 30 years collecting Goss and Crested Ware. Brian Wood has collected over 1500 items of this souvenir pottery from all over Britain. He told us we in Derbyshire are especially privileged as all the towns and a number of churches had their souvenirs, and if they did not have a crest then William Henry Goss would make one up!

Items sold included Bakewell cross, The Cat and Fiddle Pub, Tideswell font, and Matlock Bath War memorial was not forgotten. This comprehensive collection including rare examples is on permanent display in cabinets at The Aquarium, Matlock Bath. The next meeting is a talk on the Turner Glass Museum, Sheffield by John Parker, held in the Imperial Rooms at 7.30pm on Friday March 14th. Visitors welcome.

Devonshire) is now accepting new recruits again. The Group’s next musical production, “The Island of Benjamin Gunn” is a brand new adaptation of Stevenson’s “Treasure Island” and will be staged in mid-May. Whilst new recruits are unlikely to be able to take a major role in this, it is hoped that it will give them the chance to begin to work with the other young people and to help in the staging of a musical drama, thereby building for the future. So, if your son or daughter

get in touch for further details. The Group is wholly charitable and charges no fees, though voluntary donations are accepted. The Group meets on Saturdays, either in Beeley, Baslow or Calver, between 10.30 and 11.30am. The Group is formally guided by a Committee and led by two qualified teachers, responsible respectively for music and drama.

I felt the urge to stretch my legs on a nice long walk but craved a route devoid of mud, somewhere scenic with good views and lots of fresh air. Where better I decided than the Upper Derwent Valley! I had never actually walked the complete circuit of Derwent and Howden dams before which is in the region of 11 miles. It may sound a long way but can be achieved amazingly quickly due to the gently undulating track which is on good terrain for the whole distance. After parking at Fairholmes Visitor Centre I walked up the road past the west tower of Derwent Dam where water was cascading down the wall. An information board advised that all three reservoirs in this chain are currently 100% full, with a maximum holding capacity of 10,410 million gallons. The road north of Fairholmes is closed to motor vehicles at certain times to provide a traffic free area for walkers and cyclists (Disabled Badge holders exempt). A minibus service operates when the road is closed. The west tower houses The Dams and Dambusters Museum which is open to the public most Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays. The gated entrance contains a stone monument to the 617 Dambusters Squadron, famous for its ‘bouncing bomb’ raids in 1943 on dams in the heart of industrial Germany. The squadron is to be disbanded on April 1 for the third time in its history until 2016 to enable its Tornado GR4 aircraft to be upgraded to new Lightning II fighters. Just beyond the tower is the memorial to Tip, a faithful and loyal dog. On 12th December 1953 Joseph Tagg, a local shepherd, had gone up onto Howden Moor with Tip in atrocious weather conditions to tend his sheep. Sadly he must have

been overcome by the cold and died. Tip refused to leave her master’s side and was not found until 27th March of the following year by which time she was weak and badly emaciated after 105 days on the moors. She was nursed back to health and later awarded the Bronze Medal of the Canine Defence League which for animals is the equivalent to the Victoria Cross. Keeping under the side to avoid passing cars and a steady flow of cyclists I strode out at a good pace. At times the sky was cobalt blue which reflected in the reservoirs, making them enchantingly pretty. Set

up mainly of metal huts. They were there to construct Derwent Dam which was completed in November 1914, almost a hundred years ago. It took until January 1916 for the reservoir to fill up and overflow for the first time. Within only a few years it was decided that the holding capacity of Howden and Derwent was not enough to supply the ever increasing demand for water in the Midlands and so plans were begun for Ladybower to be built. The road meanders around Hern Side with a switchback toward Banktop Plantation but eventually

would be the perfect place for lunch and so I sat under one of the arches on a sheltered stone to eat my butty. Being a lovely weekend day, there was no possibility of finding myself alone for more than a minute or two. Remote it may be, but certainly not deserted, as there were hundreds of people who had had the same idea as me. Refreshed from my rucksack snack, I set off once again on a well defined path which became elevated and exposed for a while as I walked along Cold Side before descending back into tree cover not far from the reservoir’s edge. Water was pouring over Howden Dam but strong gusts of wind were blowing it back again in waves of smoky mist and I joined a clique of fellow photographers to capture the scene. My toes were beginning to tweak as I trod the last couple of miles to the twin towers of Derwent and descended steps to the base of the dam which appeared as a magnificent moving wall of water. My challenge was complete and I headed to the Visitor Centre and snack bar for a rewarding cuppa and a piece of cake, which I shared with a large glutinous gathering of ducks that encircled me. The car park was slowly emptying as

ends after about 6 miles at a turning circle at the Royal Oak. A plaque states the tree was planted on 25th September 1945 by King George VI. From here my route ahead was on a lovely track with only a short stretch down to Slippery Stones. Here there is an impressive packhorse bridge (the paved footway with overtaking places looks amazingly similar to Holme Bridge at Bakewell). Two high arches span the infant River Derwent and I thought this

BRASSINGTON RESIDENTS HELP CURE BLOOD CANCER

A concert is being staged on 26 April to raise vital funds for blood cancer charity Anthony Nolan. The concert will be held in St James’s Church, Brassington at 7.30pm given by the Folk Band THE TRAVELLING PEOPLE. I have decided to hold the event because we lost our daughter to Leukaemia last year and although the Trust found a match for her in the USA, sadly it was unsuccessful. There are, however, many successful cases thanks to them. Anthony Nolan saves lives of people with blood cancer, such as leukaemia, by matching them to people willing to donate their bone marrow, or blood stem cells, for a lifegiving transplant. Alex Hildrew, Head of Community Fundraising at

Anthony Nolan, said, “The fundraising that Brassington is doing makes such a big difference to people with blood cancer. It costs £100 to recruit each person to the Anthony Nolan Register, so fundraising is a vital part of our lifesaving work. The more fundraising we do, the more potential donors we can recruit onto the bone marrow register, and the more lives we can save. If you are unable to attend on the day, you can still sponsor the event by sending a donation/Raffle Prize. It will greatly help our efforts if you would publicise this event. Please contact Ann Barry at annbarry13@gmail.com or on 01629 540599 if you have any questions or require further information.
