Now that a new year has started, it’s time to pack away the tinsel and eat the last of the mince pies. Most of us will be back at work, and the Christmas festivities will soon be just a distant memory. January can seem a bit bleak after the sparkling lights and excitement of Christmas. But there is one midJanuary celebration that could prolong the merrymaking for a little longer: wassailing. This ancient orchardblessing ceremony has been around for centuries, and is still performed in many apple and cider-producing counties such as Somerset, Devon, Worcestershire and Herefordshire. But it’s a tradition that could catch on here in the Peak District too, as more community orchards – such as the Bradwell Community orchard
(www.bradwellcommunity orchard.blogspot.co.uk), or the orchard planted by Transition Matlock at Megdale in Matlock – are created across the region. Making merry Wassailing usually takes place on 17 January, Old Twelfth Night. The word “wassail” comes from the Anglo Saxon “wes hal”, meaning good health – and is still used today in our phrase “hale and hearty”. The ceremony is performed to awaken the orchard trees, ready for spring, and to protect the trees from evil spirits – thus ensuring a bumper fruit harvest in the coming autumn. A wassailing ceremony typically starts with a procession, sometimes led by the wassail king and queen, and usually accompanied by a special tune or song. There are many different rhymes and

you, improved
chants such as: Wassail the trees that they may bear Many a plum and many a pear For more or less fruits they will bring As you do give them wassailing. Or how about: Here’s to thee, old apple tree That blooms well, bears well Hats full, caps full, three bushel bags full And all under one tree. Or: Bud well, bear well God send you fare well Every sprig and every spray A bushel of apples next New Year Day. When the crowd has assembled at the oldest or biggest tree in the orchard, the participants will start to blow whistles and bang on buckets, pots and pans – or anything else they can get their hands on – and generally make a good old din. It is this that wakes the trees (well, who could sleep through that noise?) and scares away the evil spirits. Cider is then poured onto the roots of the tree, and pieces of cider-soaked toast are placed in the branches. The toast is often said to be an offering to the robins – sometimes considered to be tree spirits, or guardians of the orchard. There then follows much drinking of hot, spiced cider and ale,
along with singing, laughing and general merry-making. Plant a tree If you fancy a spot of wassailing yourself, but don’t have access to an orchard, how about planting your own apple tree? As long as the ground isn’t frozen, January and February are ideal months for planting trees. There are hundreds of different apple varieties available in the UK – though this may be hard to believe, judging from the limited options on sale in most supermarkets. Pink Lady, Granny Smith and Braeburn are easy enough to come by, but if you want something a bit different why not grow your own? Continued on Page 11

Long-distance cyclist David Cook is about to embark on the most challenging expedition of his life, a 9000 mile gruelling charity ride through nine countries in South East Asia, to highlight the plight of some of the world’s poorest people and the efforts being made by international aid agencies to improve their quality of life. Early next year, the 23year-old Baslow biologist will lead a five-strong team of graduate adventurers on a six-month ride through terrain that is both physically and mentally challenging, often extremely wild and always potentially dangerous. Deputy leader on the trip will be another experienced long-distance cyclist - Guernsey-born Paul Cave who is also currently living in Baslow. The two met while studying at Sheffield University. The expedition will take the team from Singapore to Mumbai though Malaysia. Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Nepal and India. It will involve travel through areas of arid desert and scrubland, steamy jungle and high mountain Himalayan passes in conditions ranging from hot and humid, intense cold, snow and monsoon rains. “It is going to be a tremendous challenge but we have been planning this expedition for some time and are confident we shall succeed,” said Dave who, with Paul, has already undertaken long-distance charity rides in the UK, Europe and Australia. Primary objective of the expedition is to document, on film and in the social media, life in the countries through which they travel and the work being undertaken by international aid agencies to improve the lot of local people, many of whom eke out a miserable living in the most basic of conditions. A secondary aim is to raise funds for UNICEF and the Rotary Club of W i r k s w o r t h ’ s internationally-acclaimed
Dave Cook on a training session in the Derbyshire Peak and Paul Cave on a training session in the Peak
Aquabox project which provides clean water for communities affected by man-made or natural disasters. “The expedition will give us a unique opportunity to raise money for Aquabox and help to promote positively the work of some charities whose humanitarian activities often go unnoticed,” said Dave. “We know the expedition will not be easy. Having to cycle up to 120 miles per day in temperatures of up to 40degreesC and fullysaturated air will definitely be tough. We have tried to plan for all eventualities but some of the greatest challenges will only be discovered once our journey gets under way.” Former Lady Manners School student Dave is the only team member who will ride the entire route. With him and Paul on the expedition as drivers and support specialists are Sheffield creative media student Joseph O-Connor from Norton College in Sheffield who will coordinate film production, Herefordshire marathon runner and rower Chris Jones, and Arja Grenager Soermo from Lagesund in Norway who will also act as media communications officer. The team plans to leave the UK for Singapore where it will collect its support vehicle and other vital equipment, before the expedition properly sets off on January 10.
Though the major costs of the expedition are being funded by individual team members and specialist supporters, the group will have the backing of Rotary International throughout the ride. “Rotary clubs in Bakewell
and Wirksworth have already given us tremendous help and have provided information about Rotary Club contacts along the entire route,” said Dave. Anyone wishing to make a donation can do so online at www.action4asia.org

CROWDS FLOCK TO ASHOVER LIGHTS SWITCH-ON
Busiest place in Ashover on a recent Sunday afternoon was the middle of the main road through the village which was crowded with revellers of all ages. Fortunately for them, the road was closed... but designated local residents were still on hand to act as safety marshalls. The closure order was made to enable the switching-on of the lights on the Christmas tree outside the Bassett Rooms which traditionally marks the start of the village's festive celebrations. This year, as ever, it proved to be a great success. Chosen to switch on the lights was lifelong villager Jimmy Carline. The celebration included Christmas songs by Ashover Primary School and the Celebration Choir and music for carol singing played by Ashover Brass Band. Highlight of the evening was the arrival of Father Christmas (Michael Marshall) who was accompanied by Maud the donkey and her helpers, Penny Marsden and Elspeth Cunningham. Santa then presented young visitors to his grotto
Santa and Ashover villager Jimmy Carline switches on the Christmas tree lights helped by Town Crier Merrick Bull with bags of chocolate coins while older members of the community enjoyed mulled wine supplied by the Crispin Inn and mince pies from Anna Unwin at the Tuck Shop. Parish councillor Christine Brocksopp commented: “The event was as popular as ever this year, with at least 80 excited children visiting Father Christmas. Once again we were blessed with
fine weather after a few anxious days following the worst storm for 60 years. This celebration would not be possible without the help and hard work of many volunteers, most of whom never get to see the actual event, and funding provided by Ashover Primary Care Centre. We’re very grateful to them.” The event was organised by Ashover Parish Council.

CROMFORD
W.I.
The Cromford WI Christmas Meeting began with a toast in their absence to newly-weds Judy and Jim Noble. Christine Levasseur, the newly elected President, welcomed members to the meeting, and glasses of mulled wine were raised to Judy (formerly Jones) and Jim, at present on honeymoon in York. Chris and Mike Wild brought a period note to the meeting in their 1930s/40s dress – Mike in tweed jacket and plus fours with immaculately polished tan brogues and a tweed cap (men always wore hats) and Chris in an elegant day dress with hat and black lace gloves. They described their stay at Burgh Island, the hotel made famous for its association with Agatha Christie, featuring in episodes of Hercule Poirot. The hotel is accessible at high tide only by use of a sea tractor, and retains many of its art deco features. Many film and stage stars stayed there in its heyday and now give their names to some of the bedrooms – Chris and Mike stayed in the Amy Johnson room. Chris and Mike were thanked by Rosy Thacker. Plans for 2014 include walks, craft meetings, hosting the Via Gellia Group of WIs and catering for a Ruby Wedding – but before that, we are looking forward to Christmas Lunch at the Market Place Restaurant and to the Sherry and Mince Pies morning on 17th December Christine presented Yvonne Daykin with a certificate for the most points earned in the competitions throughout the year. Christmas gifts were exchanged and members enjoyed refreshments provided by the Committee. The meeting closed with a Pam Ayres Christmas poem, read by Christine. The next meeting will be held at Cromford Institute on Wednesday 8th January at 7.30pm., when Andy Pollock will speak about the Cromford and High Peak Railway. Meetings are usually held on the first Wednesday of each month, and new members and visitors are welcome – contact Janet Chambers on 01629 822319 for more information.

The group meets at the Buckingham Hotel, Buxton on the 3rd Monday of the month. In January there will be no meeting. Next meeting February 17th all welcome.

CASTLE VIEW PRIMARY Despite the inclement weather, Castle View Primary School’s Christmas celebrations started on a high this year with a visit not only from Santa but also from one of his reindeer. While the school’s choir sang traditional Christmas carols, excited children were able to pet the reindeer on their playground before visiting Santa in his magical grotto. The school’s raffle also took a starring role with one of the prizes being a signed photograph of Manchester United Captain, Nemanja Vidic, together with some fabulous donations from both local and national businesses including Hasbro, Indigo and the Thorn Tree. The Friends of
Castle View emphasised that the event wouldn’t have been such a great success without the kind donations of time, money and gifts

STARKHOLMES WI MEETING
HAVE YOUR BOILER SERVICED
The seasons shown through the slides of Mr Robert Falconer delighted yet again members of Starkholmes WI. From snowclad hills, to spring at Chatsworth, Well Dressing, and autumn tints were just a few of the beautiful aspects of our county. Mr Falconer is an exceptional photographer. Birthday posies were presented to Mrs Gater, Mrs Rosser, Mrs Tomlinson and Mrs Roe. A card was read from Mrs Booth, County President, in appreciation of the Group meeting. This occasion had been a great success and greatly enjoyed by all members of the Cavendish Group. Raffle winner was Miss Freda Chapman, and winners of the competition for an Autumn Picture were Mrs Dodds, Mrs Chadborn and Mrs Farrall.
MATLOCK AND DISTRICT HARD OF HEARING CLUB
APEX ELECTRICAL
We travelled to the Knockerdown Inn, Carsington, again this year for Christmas lunch. The welcome was warm, the food was delicious and the entertainment, provided by Mick Malarky was very enjoyable. He played various instruments, had us laughing at his jokes, and we all joined in with some lively singing. The next week we had an outing to Chatsworth to see the Christmas decorations in the house. The theme this year is the stories of Narnia, with some very intricate displays. Afterwards we explored the gardens and had some refreshment before returning by coach to Matlock. The next meeting at 2pm on the 6th January 2014, at the Imperial Rooms, Matlock, will be a Bingo session.
Discovery Room, the workshop is being led by expert Nigel Slater and will feature an informal talk in the morning, with tips on how to identify different species and tell males from females, followed by a guided walk in the afternoon to look for and identify birds. Starting at 10am and finishing at 2pm, the workshop is suitable for adults and accompanied children aged 12 and over. It costs £8 per person and booking is essential. For more information and to book contact Derbyshire Wildlife Trust on 01773 881188.
from parents, staff and governors. In total the event raised an amazing £700 to spend on the children at the school, some of which had already been put to good use by funding transport for children to visit Cadbury World next term. Louise James, Vice Chair of the Friends of Castle View said: "We were amazed by how many parents and members of the local community
came out to support us on the day and by how much money we were able to raise. The Friends of Castle View are hoping to raise enough funds to pay for a minibus for the school so that more children can go on educational trips, and the money raised here and the £1500 raised at the School’s Summer Extravaganza earlier this year makes us realise this might be possible."

MONDAY 6TH JANUARY
Do you ever think when watching period plays on the television, that in reality most of the older characters would have had so few teeth that they would have used a macerator to cut their food small enough to swallow? These four-bladed scissors were just one of the ‘Mystery’ items brought by Leo Leader for the members of the antique society to
identify. Members gave many weird and amusing names for the objects, with one being correct eventually. Others included a cow horn straightener, a boiled egg topper, a railway signal line shortener, and a wine sampler. The next meeting is on 10th January 2014 at 7.30pm in the Imperial rooms Matlock.

children learnt about the nativity story, acting it out with a rhyming script. The play showed a Christmas angel taking some children back to Bethlehem to show them the true meaning of Christmas. The children meet the shepherds, kings and the friendly innkeeper, before watching everyone arrive at the stable to give the baby Jesus their presents. They have been singing traditional Christmas carols to accompany the story, and even learnt the Makaton sign language to go with ‘Little
Donkey’. Several children also sang solo parts, and the angels did a lovely dance. We mustn’t forget the super effort Class 2 put in as our ‘choir’, they really boosted our singing confidence! All children worked so hard to make the nativity a huge success; some of them have only been in school 4 months!

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. It’s a fact that most customers assume that genuinely handmade bespoke real wood furniture of our exceptional quality would simply be too expensive. A recent survey showed that many of the ‘standard chipboard ordinary’ kitchen suppliers, with their glossy brochures, commission based salesmen and huge overheads, were more expensive than Allwood. Why have ‘ordinary’ when you can have the ‘WOW factor’ for the same price or less? For a stunning real wood genuinely handmade kitchen built to your own requirements give us a try.

Now for the last week of term: a School Christmas Party where the children had a fun snowball fight, a visit to Buxton Opera House to see the pantomime Cinderella, but the best thing ever was Winster School’s production of Scrooge. Everything about this play was truly amazing. The children acted with such professionalism, they had worked hard designing and making a marvellous set and the costumes well. I think they hired them from the BBC! So as the children begin to rest in anticipation of Santa’s visit and whatever next term may bring them, they wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

ASHOVER BOASTS A UNIQUE VISITOR ATTRACTION – ‘LOOS WITH NEWS’ The old stone public conveniences on Moor Road have been completely renovated and the redundant telephone kiosk in the small room at the front of the building turned into an information point featuring parish news and attractions, maps and details of local walks. The major makeover has cost almost £27,000 and has been made possible by a substantial donation of more than £22,000 by Viridor Credits Environmental Company through the Landfill Communities Fund, and financial assistance of £5000 from Ashover Parish Council and £2253 from Ashover Primary Care Trust as the Contributing Third Party. Parish Council Chairman Ed Willmot officially opened the building this week by cutting a length of toilet roll at the entrance to the information point. He told councillors and guests: “This is a momentous occasion.” Councillor Willmot (second left) is pictured breaking the loo roll to open the new lavatory block, watched by (left-right) Councillor Christine Brocksopp, Andrew King (representing the Primary Care Trust) and Cllr William
Armitage. At an informal buffet arranged by Parish Clerk Sara Atkinson later, Cllr Willmot paid tribute to the hardworking team of council members and supporters who had transformed an unwanted building into “a very useful” visitor amenity. The Parish Council agreed to lease the lavatory block from North East Derbyshire District Council when it was threatened with closure because of economy measures. New doors, windows, cubicles, electrical fittings, frost-proof sanitary ware,
slip-proof tiled floors, tiled walls and improved insulation have been installed in all parts of the building and the baby-changing facilities in the disabled toilet section have been updated. Ashover is believed to be one of the few parish councils to accept responsibility for upgrading and maintaining its public conveniences. Footnote: Santa Claus (local footpaths authority Richard Felton) arrived at the opening ceremony on the back of a beautifully-decorated tractor playing Christmas carols.
He was there, he explained, to provide the information point with free copies of his ‘A walk of two conveniences’, routes for ramblers between the public lavatories in Ashover and Clay Cross. Richard also announced plans to add a walk to Matlock’s public loos early in the new year. “Before and after a walk, most people want just two things, a visit to the loo and a nice cup of tea,” he said. “We think these latest guides will be a useful addition to the information already available about local walks.”
CALVER CHILDREN’S CINEMA ~ THE CROODS Calver Children’s Cinema will be showing THE CROODS on Saturday 11th January at Calver Village Hall. Doors open 1.30pm, film starts at 2.30pm.

LUCKY WINNER JILL
Tony with winner Jill Hield receiving her prize Congratulations to Jill Hield of Bakewell who was
delighted to win a classical guitar in our recent
MATLOCK FORUM CLUB On Tuesday 17 December 2013 Club members and their ladies enjoyed their annual Christmas party. Guests were greeted with coffee and biscuits before the main event, a presentation given by Mr. Alan Hopkin. This began with a series of humorous stories and was followed by a musical quiz in which the listeners were invited to name tunes after hearing excerpts played by Mr. Hopkin on the clarinet. Members were then taken behind the scenes by Mr. Hopkin to learn about the conduct of auction sales and some of the pleasures and pitfalls which he had encountered over the years. The talk was interesting, amusing and instructive both to those who might attend
sales and to those who currently see so many of these on their tv screens. The meeting concluded with sherry and mince pies served by members of the Club committee. Club Chairman, Jim Pocklington, thanked the speaker and wished visitors and members all the best for Christmas and the New Year and announced that the next meeting would be held on 7 January 2014. Details of the Club’s programme and activities can be found at www.matlockforumclub.co.uk New members are welcome to visit the Club which meets each Tuesday at the Edgefold Club. Coffee and biscuits are served at 11am.
competition kindly donated by Tony of Matlock Music Shop, Dale Road, Matlock. Jill is looking forward to taking up the guitar again
after she began learning a number of years ago. We had a great response and thank you to everybody who entered the competition.
CHRISTMAS FUNDRAISING BOOST FOR MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM

So far in 2013, Edale Team has responded to 106 callouts. Many thanks and a very Happy Christmas to everyone who has supported us during the year.

Apple trees are easy to grow and care for, and will reward you with a crop of fruit within a couple of years. The trouble is, with so many varieties on offer, which tree should you choose? There are some wonderful heritage apple trees available to buy. Ashmead’s Kernel is one of the UK’s oldest apples, dating from 1720, and has a distinctive flavour – some say it tastes of pear drops. Egremont Russet is more than a hundred years old – it has a rough, russet skin and tastes sweet and nutty. There are some traditional Derbyshire varieties, too. The Beeley Pippin, with its pink flushed skin and rich aromatic flavour, was first grown in the village of Beeley on the Chatsworth estate in 1880. If you prefer a cooking apple, the Newton Wonder is another old Derbyshire variety. The first tree of this kind was found around 1870 by William Taylor, as a seedling growing in the thatch of the Hardinge Arms pub in King’s Newton. Expert advice There are some excellent more modern varieties of apple tree about, too. Katy is a good choice: it’s reliable, disease-resistant and hardy, and tends to do very well in our Peak District climate. It has super-sweet, red-tinged fruits and frequently produces a large crop, even when the weather has been poor and other varieties have failed. Winston is another tree to try, and a good option if you want apples that store well. Pick the apples by the end of October, wrap individually in newspaper, spread in a single layer in a shallow box and place in a cool, dry place such as a
frost-free shed or garage. Stored this way, the fruits should keep until February or even March. For early apples, Discovery or Vista Bella are excellent choices – plant one of these and you could be enjoying fruits as early as July. These early croppers don’t store well though, so they are best eaten straight off the tree. All apples need to be pollinated by another apple tree nearby. So if there are no other apple trees near your garden, you’ll need to plant two trees. The best way to choose an apple tree is to visit a local fruit tree specialist. They will be able to advise you on pollination groups and planting techniques. Try Neil Thompson Nurseries at Tansley (www.neilthompsonnurserie s.co.uk) for a good range, including some heritage varieties. Whichever type of fruit tree you buy, you’ll be doing wonders for wildlife in your garden. Orchard trees
are a great habitat for all kinds of creatures, and their blossoms and fruits provide food for butterflies, bumblebees and birds. They’ll provide food for you,

IGHEST TOURISM FIGURES FOR BAKEWELL
Saturday, 30th November and Sunday 1st December saw hundreds of visitors visiting Bakewell for its third, fun-packed, Christmas Weekend event. The Tourist Board reported that these were the highest tourism figures this year and some local traders commented that they saw the best trading days ever! Coaches came from far and wide and visiting market stall holders also commented that they would now prefer to choose Bakewell above any other similar events. Craft stalls selling Christmas decorations and gifts were a-plenty plus a host of food and drink stalls lined the busy streets. There was something for everyone. This year saw the market square buzzing with entertainment including local choirs, musicians and dancers. Takeaway food was a-plenty, from an Austrian Barbeque to Italian Street food, the aromas and sounds filling the street were Christmas to a tee. Children were delighted at the sight of Santa’s reindeer in Bath Gardens, and had their letters ready to post to Santa.
Local people commented that they had never seen Bakewell so busy and this is a tribute to the planning of this now ‘benchmark’ event.

DERWENT MASONIC LODGE
Derwent Masonic Lodge (884), the Wirksworth branch of the Freemasons, celebrated the end of 2013 with a dinner and night of entertainment at Wirksworth Town Hall on Friday 20 December 2013. Sixty-Seven masons and their guests were serenaded during their dinner by twentyfive of the Brassington, Middleton, Wirksworth Brass Band and their Director of Music, Graham J. Randle. Graham very kindly allowed Tim Draper, the Master of Derwent Lodge to lead the band for his favourite carol “Silent Night”. Tim
clearly enjoyed the experience. Derwent Masonic Lodge, who are continually looking to increase their membership, have had an action packed year; they made a well dressing for the Wirksworth annual well dressing. They laid a wreath at the Remembrance Day parade and enjoyed a recent carol concert at Derby Cathedral. They have also given a number of sizeable donations to local organisations including the Swimming Pool, Music Centre, Wirksworth & Middleton Cricket Club, the

Sylvia Green, Chief Executive of Rural Action Derbyshire said: ‘Trustees play a vital role in the work of any charity, and at RAD we have been very fortunate to have some excellent trustees who have really supported the development and success of the charity’s work. We now have an opportunity to recruit additional trustees and we are keen to hear from anyone who would like to help us to support community development in Derbyshire.’ She went on to say: ‘You do not require any particular qualifications to be a trustee, but some experience of managing organisations, the ability to act strategically and a good understanding of the issues facing rural communities in Derbyshire would be very useful. We do not have representation from North East Derbyshire, Erewash or Bolsover and we would encourage people from those areas to come forward. We are also particularly keen to attract individuals with a background in any of the following areas; marketing, human resources and law’. Trustees undertake the role on an unpaid, voluntary basis, and would be expected to attend Board meetings four times per year, as well as other occasional meetings and events. Anyone interested in learning more about becoming a Trustee of Rural Action Derbyshire should contact Sylvia on 01629 821927.

DARLEY DALE MEMORY LANE GROUP
Darley Dale’s Memory Lane group had a bumper Christmas Party at the Whitworth Centre in the week before Christmas. In addition to their regular Darley Dale members, the group extended an invitation to similar groups from Ripley, Heanor and Belper. Darley Dale Memory Lane was started seven years ago by Darley Dale Town Council, working with community volunteers, to provide a monthly event for Senior Citizens in the town. Chair of the organising committee, Councillor Di Cliff said, “We are very proud of this Town Council initiative. We have a membership of around 40, who, for a £2 entrance fee, are treated to entertainment, networking, talks, as well as afternoon tea. Our members frequently comment on the pleasure of getting out and meeting others in pleasant surroundings”. This year's party started with carol singing, led by Darley Dale Brass Band, followed by tea, sandwiches and cakes, followed by a fantastic presentation of songs from the shows by a local theatre group. All senior citizens are welcome to join, and the group welcomes offers from local entertainers (we can afford a small fee) and volunteers. Please phone Di Cliff on 01629 734944, or check out the Whitworth Centre website or the Darley Dale Town Council notice boards.

The Maazi Go To Pre-School The children from Bradwell Pre-school had the opportunity to try Indian food, provided by The Maazi Restaurant in Hathersage, on Tuesday, as part of their focus on the Diwali Festival. The children and staff were joined by parents and some children and teachers from Bradwell Infant School. They enjoyed listening to the talk about Diwali and looking at photographs of the celebrations. The children aged from two and a-half had interesting questions for Riz, the Manager at The Maazi, Hathersage which has recently opened. It was a lively session and the children from the Infant school had made some Rangoli patterns, which are traditionally drawn on the floor, to show their Pre-school friends. The children at Preschool have had a busy week making clay Divas (candle holders) and making Rangoli patterns. Staff at Bradwell Pre-
school said, ‘It is a fantastic opportunity for both the Pre-school and The Maazi to make links and work together in supporting children to learn about other countries and festivals that are celebrated. ‘We encourage children
to develop a wider understanding of the world, which is a part of our Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. It is brilliant that we are able to invite people in from our community, like Riz and his Head Chef, Qadeer as the children learn so
much through play and hands-on experience.’ Bradwell Pre-School is open on a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9.05 until 12.05. We have places available for children aged 2 1/ 2 to 4, for more information please contact Wendy Riley on 07756 236563.
NO DASH JUST THE CASH Matlock Derwent Valley Lions Club had a Christmas draw with a difference. Lion President, Colin Turnbull, said, “Instead of the annual Trolley Dash in the Co-op supermarket, we decided that customers deserved more than was being collected, so we changed the format into a simple draw, with 4 prizes”. Winner of the 1st prize of £100 of Co-op vouchers was Mrs. Lochrie, 2nd prize of Champagne and Chocolates went to Mrs. Clarke, 3rd prize of a Co-op Hamper was won by Lorna Mazur and finally, a Lamp went to Mrs. Watson. Lion Colin also said, “We are very grateful to the Co-op for letting us continue running this event, to everyone who bought a ticket and particularly to the little known beneficiary,Asthma inAction in Matlock, who contacted us for help, not just to raise money, but to enhance their profile in the local community”.

only person to be out walking of course, and I passed numerous happy smiling festive faces all aglow with feasting and the effects of a
sometime in the 19th century. In 1528 an early map of this area was drawn up as a result of a bitter dispute over common pasture between
cold and frosty day. Over Haddon is my home and Lathkill Dale my back garden and so I feel most fortunate to be able to stroll from my door into a Nature Reserve within the heart of the National Park. Descending a steep lane I passed St Anne’s Church which was built in 1880 in a decorated gothic style of architecture. Among the gravestones to be found here is one to Sir Maurice Oldfield, a local lad from a farming family who grew up in the village and went on to be the head of MI6 and is our claim to fame. The zig-zag road drops down to the Lodge and former corn mill which dates back in parts nearly 500 years. Beside it is an attractive clapper bridge where water was gushing beneath at quite a pace. The Lathkill is a disappearing river as it also follows a subterranean course made up of old mine workings, a man-made sough as well as part natural permeation through the limestone bedrock. My route took me over the bridge and up the woodland track beyond. This is a favourite haunt of mine and I love to see the wood’s character changing through the seasons. Currently light, bright and devoid of leaves, in summer this track is an almost arboreal tunnel with wild flowers in pastel shades appearing at times like delicate Monet splodges beneath the trees. From the gate at the top of the wood I passed through a grassy field to Meadow Place Farm, situated on the site of a medieval grange that belonged to Leicester Abbey, founded in 1143 as St Mary of the Meadows. It is reputed that the remains of a chapel could be found here until
Meadow Place and the peasant farmers of Over Haddon. The map was used as evidence in the hearings before the Chamber of the Duchy of Lancaster. Walking along the drive away from the impressive farmhouse I was soon to be treated to far reaching views through a gap in the hills so that I could clearly see Beeley Moor in the distance. Hereabouts is the site of the medieval village of Conksbury, the name meaning Crane’s Fort. It consisted of at least 18 crofts but could have been deserted as a result of Black Death which swept across the whole country between 1348 and 1350, killing almost a third of the population. Small villages such as this would have been operated as a sort of commune and with a substantial loss of the workforce, there would not have been enough labour to work the land so villages were consequently abandoned. Alternatively, the abbeys were responsible for ousting peasant farmers to create extensive granges where vast flocks of sheep were reared, and this could well have come under that category. At the cattle grid I turned left and walked downhill on the road towards Conksbury Bridge, taking care to keep well under the side on a section of ‘Quiet Lane’ which in the 18th century formed part of the Newhaven to Grindleford turnpike road. There was a little toll cottage located on the corner at the junction with the Youlgreave road. The toll gate was operated by Edward Bowman, part of a large Quaker family associated mainly with Monyash. A surviving milestone from the turnpike
era can still be found built into the end of a wall on the left. Slightly further down the road I ignored a stile on the right which is most definitely a squeeze stile – I might not be thin but you would need to be a stick person to get through this one! Fortunately, there is another entry further down onto the riverside path which follows the Lathkill downstream. For a while you are a field away, but when I arrived at Raper Lodge I turned left and walked to Coalpit Bridge over the river, which is one of the most romantic and picturesque beauty spots for miles around. The path from here follows a former packhorse route leading from Youlgreave to Haddon Hall. As I trudged up the steep winding path I wondered how difficult it
rugged terrain. After a short ascent I emerged at Haddon Fields, an area of grazing land which is popular with migrating birds. There was a time years ago when I would occasionally see flocks of lapwing here. Sadly in recent years it is rare to see any at all. My route from here was easy to follow, not just because I know it so well, but because there was a bright shining star like a beacon in the distance to guide me – The Lathkil Hotel! Along the way I crossed over the Bakewell road and made my way to the edge of the Dale to look down for an incredible aerial view which never fails to delight. Arriving back at Over Haddon I squeezed through the stile by the pub, glancing down at the polished crinoid fossils on the stone beneath my feet and then wandered back through the village admiring the impressive new Village Hall. Along the main street is the war memorial which has a surprisingly long list of names for such a small settlement. Those few miles had worked off a pound or two and made room for a nice cuppa tea and possibly a piece of Christmas cake – well it seems a shame to waste it! Sally Mosley www.sallymosley.co.uk

In addition the convention played host to a large number of further and higher education providers, training companies and local companies. As well as being able to discuss study,
training and apprenticeship options, students were able to access general advice on volunteering and gap years. A focus of the evening was a number of career information presentations on a range of subjects. These included ‘Careers in Sport’, ‘Financing Study at University’ and ‘Careers in Art and Design’.

‘TIS THE SEASON TO RECYCLE Extra household waste is produced over Christmas and New Year - which is why Derbyshire County Council is urging residents to have a ‘green’ festive period. The cost to the council of managing all the household waste thrown away into general household bins in Derbyshire during 2012/13 was £17.4 million. The council has to make savings of £157m over five years and residents can help it to meet this target by reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill. Cutting down on waste can save you money too. Councillor Joan Dixon, Derbyshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Jobs, Economy and Transport, said: “We’re urging people to make a special effort to try and minimise the amount of waste going to landfill over the Christmas period. “By just doing a few things differently our combined efforts can really make a difference. “Hopefully these new habits will be carried into the New Year and we can all work together to help make Derbyshire even greener than it already is.” Here are our top tips to make yours a green Christmas and New Year: •The average household spends £170 on the big Christmas food and drink shop - with a lot of it going to waste. You can really cut down on this by following some simple steps such as better shopping planning, careful storage and making full use of your leftovers. For recipes, advice and other ideas go to lovefoodhatewaste.com •When shopping for Christmas presents or food use reusable shopping bags or reuse carrier bags. •Reduce your waste at Christmas by composting your winter veg peelings, tea bags and clean cardboard. Visit derbyshire.gov.uk/ environment and go to
composting for further information. •Make full use of your kerbside recycling service run by your local district or borough council. Many have now introduced a third bin to accommodate more recyclable materials. Remember some will be running different collection days over Christmas and New Year so check your local authority website for details or contact them if you’re unsure. •Eight million Christmas trees are sold in the UK each year. Real Christmas trees can be taken for recycling at your local Household Waste Recycling Centre or placed in your garden waste collection bin if available. It may be necessary to cut the trees to size and wait for collections to return if suspended over winter. •If you’ve reduced, reused and recycled at home and still have waste after Christmas then pop along to your local Household Waste Recycling Centre. To find out where your nearest one is go to derbyshire.gov.uk/recycling and follow the links. All centres are open from 8.30am to 6pm daily. The only days the centres are closed are Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. •Buying presents that have recycled content is just as important as actually recycling. Look out for unusual gifts made from recycled materials, such as glass tableware, stationery or photo frames. A number of suppliers are available online and there are also a small number of high street retailers offering recycled products. •If you’ve access to the internet you could always try sending electronic Christmas cards. •If you’ve got old working electrical items you no longer need after Christmas why not donate them to your local furniture project. Find a list of your nearest one here so you

Aquabox. An aquabox is a plastic box which contains a water filtration system, and space for other essentials. Once the welfare contents have been removed, each aquabox can be used to purify up to 18,000 litres of polluted water, making it safe and pleasant to drink. That’s enough for 22.5 litres every day for two years. Helen Horrod, Student Support Co-ordinator at Lady Manners School, who supported the girls in their fundraising, said, “The girls were moved by the plight of the Filipino people and they were determined to help. They have done a fabulous job.”

An impressive £558 and a mound of useful equipment was collected by Lady Manners students to help the relief effort following the typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. The campaign, involving the whole school, was spearheaded by a group of girls from Year 9. Grace Beresford-Boon, Sarah Burton and Fay Waltho were among those moved by media coverage of the disaster and decided that, with the help of the school, they could make a difference to the relief effort. Students and parents were asked to make donations of money and vital items such as toothpaste, soap, candles, towels, bandages and safety pins. The resulting pile of essential items was sent to the charity,

HOTEL, RESTAURANT AND WEDDING VENUE
You may recall my recent excitement at being offered a new job. As I believe I have already told you, I received the news on my mobile as I headed for the ladies room at a motorway services. Other customers heading in the same direction may well have misconstrued my little jig of delight, on receiving the call, as desperation to make it to the conveniences, I don’t know - but I do know that the news made me very, very happy. Getting a new job is all well and good, but the reality is that you have to get up one morning and actually go and do it. I was lucky, I suppose, insofar as the fact that the new work involves the old work (if that makes the slightest sense to you) with the added bonus that the new work can be done during daylight hours. I don’t have to be at my new desk whilst the rest of civilisation is painting the town red or, the thing that always made me most envious, sound asleep in their beds. I had worked shifts for a very long time – whilst the majority of people were slipping on their fluffy onesies and partaking of a warming cup of hot chocolate, I would often be found sitting at a desk before a bank of computers feeling incredibly jealous and longing for my bed! However, that’s all over, my day job is now just that and nights, once again are for snoring, although I’m sure my other half would confirm that it’s something I never ever do! Back to starting the new job though, instead of snoring... sorry sleeping... the previous night away, I spent most of it with my eyes wide open and my mind working overtime – for which I won’t be paid time and a-half – worrying about whether to arrive in a blaze of red or to sneak in wearing something beige

so as to blend into the background. I was worried about twenty zillion other things too which, looking back on it now, were irrelevant, but at the time seemed like insurmountable problems which were worth lying awake most of the night for! I woke up from the fourteen minutes sleep I’d actually managed to get, on the morning of day one. If the alarm clock had an arm it would have reached over and shut me down – I was up and about so early – but that was a blessing because it took me at least half an hour to look at the neat pile of clothes I’d laid out the night before and realise I could not wear those on my first day. I expect I disturbed the whole street, let alone my poor hubby, crashing through my wardrobe looking for something suitable... before I saw the neat pile lying on the chair and realised that, actually, they were exactly what I needed! After I’d made a drink that I didn’t want, thrown a piece of toast away and brushed my teeth for the ninth time, I was ready to set off. You’d have thought I was going somewhere I’d never been... I worried about the journey and the time it would take to get there, after all you don’t want to be late on your first day. In retrospect, since it was the same journey I’d been making every day of my working life for several years, unless the Highways Department had rerouted the A6 through Bournemouth, it was likely to take exactly the same time it always does, and my new job has the added bonus of “flexi-time” – so unless I’d turned up a week next Friday, I wouldn’t have been late at all! I managed to negotiate my way there alright though, avoiding all points within a two
hundred mile radius of Dorset and only felt a momentary flutter of panic when I had to input the code to get through the gate - the number hadn’t changed so that went quite smoothly as well! I should, at this point, explain that I’m going to be working one short corridor and a flight of stairs away from where I have spent the last few years of my working life. However, when I arrived at the door to the building it was almost as if I had never been there. If I’d looked in the mirror to find that overnight someone had tattooed the words “new girl” across my forehead I wouldn’t have been surprised. But I made it to my desk without anyone rolling about the floor letting out huge guffaws and hearty belly laughs, so I guessed they had not! So there I was, in my new office at last and all sorts of decisions to make – should I put my lunch in the fridge or leave it on the spare chair; should the spare chair in fact be my chair and did I want the window open closed or slightly ajar? Decisions, decisions!! As the morning went on I did manage to relax a bit – it was a surprise when someone rang and asked to arrange a meeting with me – I thought it was a joke at first, but in fact I will, from
now on, be expected to have all sorts of meetings – what a novelty! Of course I wasn’t left alone to simply get on with it or I’d still be there now sharpening my pencil and wondering how to turn the computer on. A lovely lady was there to explain the intricacies of what is expected and offer help and guidance at every turn. In fact everyone in the office seemed so kind and supportive I knew after a nanosecond that I had made the right decision. The day progressed and I realised that perhaps the moments of blind panic I’d been feeling since I’d said “I accept” were a little over the top. It will take a while to get up to speed with the computer work, but my new colleagues are, I can already tell, going to be equally as brilliant as my old ones, who I miss tremendously, despite them only being about 100 feet away. But there’s one thing the new lot expected me to get right, first time and every time. There’s no room for errors and certainly no excuses for forgetting to carry out my duties, so, even though I’m not sure whether it’s allowed I’ve brought some work home with me so I know exactly what I’m doing... now where have I put that list of how everybody likes their tea?!!!! © Jean Goodwin 2013
MATLOCK LUNCHEON CLUB
Christmas Dinner 2013
The beautifully decorated room at Matlock Golf Club filled up rapidly as almost one hundred members arrived for the Luncheon Club’s Christmas meal. Everything was a little different from usual: the tables were bright with poinsettias and crackers and the menus were brimming with unusual Christmas facts. There was a quiz and a song sheet as well. The coffee cups contained raffle tickets and all was set for a great time. The traditional Christmas lunch was excellent. The quiz, also seasonal, kept the diners amused, while coffee and mince pies were served before the poinsettia plants and the raffle prizes were distributed by Robert and Jane and they in turn were thanked by Eileen Hall, our chairman, for their wonderful effort.The
entertainment was provided by Bill Templeman, pianist, and Paul Seward, singer, both well-known members of the Dalesman Male Voice Choir and luncheon club members themselves. The programme began with ‘Hark the Herald Angels Sing’ followed by the amusing opening invitation to Gerald Clarke’s Christmas play ‘Joe Carpenter and Son’ read by Ingrid Pasteur. There followed a variety of Christmas music played by Bill and sung in turn by Paul and the members ending with Bridget Yates reciting the poem ‘The Night before Christmas’ and everybody joining in the final ‘We wish you a Merry Christmas’. Anne Brawn thanked the entertainers heartily on behalf of the Club and everybody left in great festive spirits.
