This is the 100th Little Green Space article to appear in the Peak Advertiser, and since 2008 we’ve been offering readers in the Peak District tips and advice to encourage sustainable living, wildlifefriendly gardening and actions to tackle climate change. To celebrate this milestone, we’re sharing our favourite 10 tips for a greener lifestyle. By taking these positive actions we can help protect the environment, give wildlife a boost, improve our health and wellbeing – and maybe even save some money! Buy local There’s a remarkable range of mouth-watering food produced in the Peak District, available from farmers' markets and farm shops. Try local honey, organic meat, artisan bread and homemade preserves – or treat yourself or a loved one

to a famous Bakewell Pudding or some Hartington cheese. And for those who enjoy a tipple there’s beer too, made by one of the many microbreweries that are producing quality ales across the Peak. As well as supporting our local economy, buying locally is better for the environment. The energy used to get it from farm to fork is minimal and there's usually a lot less packaging. Feed the birds Many species of garden and farmland birds are in decline, including song thrushes, greenfinches and starlings – all identified as being in trouble following this year’s RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch. Feeding the birds in your garden can really help and is especially important during the cold months of winter, when many of the natural food sources that birds rely on are scarce. Putting up a few feeders

containing different types of food will attract a variety of different birds – and it’s relaxing and enjoyable to watch them. Try peanuts for blue tits, nyger seed for finches and suet-based balls for robins and blackbirds. Avoid food waste The average UK family throws away around seven million tonnes of food and drink every year – but this kind of waste can be avoided by careful meal planning, shopping only for what’s needed, serving up smaller portions and using up leftovers. See the Love Food Hate Waste website (www.lovefoodhatewaste.co m), which offers dozens of recipes and suggestions for using up leftover ingredients. Plant a nectar garden Attracting bees and butterflies to your garden is as easy as growing the right plants. Butterflies and bees love buddleia, sedums, lavender, thyme and scabious. Many of these plants are simple to grow, need little maintenance, are lovely to look at – and smell great too! For a really cheap butterfly garden, a couple of packets of annual seeds can give you a splash of summer colour that insects will love. Try candytuft, sweet william, sunflowers and Californian poppies. No space? Try growing some nectar-rich flowers in a pot on the patio – even tiny nectar gardens can attract bees and butterflies!

Grow your own Growing your own fruit and vegetables is beneficial in many ways. It can keep you fit and healthy and can save you money. And it can be deeply satisfying to produce and eat your own food. Growing your own is also good for the environment, as it reduces food miles to zero and needs no packaging. Many crops are easy to grow. Try growing peashoots in a pot on your windowsill or plant some potatoes. Courgettes, salad leaves and garlic are also great for first-time growers. Plant a tree Trees absorb carbon dioxide, and their leaves improve the air that we breathe by releasing oxygen. They give us shade, fuel and – in the case of orchard trees – food.

NEW PERSPECTIVES THEATRE COMPANY’S FIRST VISIT TO PARWICH

New Perspectives, the East Midland’s touring theatre company, are to stage a Whodunit, in the Peak Park, taking over Parwich Memorial Hall. The acclaimed theatre company of professional actors tours the UK attracting a strong following for the high quality of its productions. He Wore a Red Hat, described as a Comedy Noir, travels to Parwich on Sunday December 13 before moving north to Durham, Cumbria and Northumberland. The curtain is up at 7.30pm. New Perspectives said it was surprised to learn of a new and controversial pilot scheme currently being tested in Peterborough, in which police urge the public to report crime via skype. The scheme bears an uncanny resemblance to its latest piece of theatre, playing rural villages nationwide such as Parwich in the run up to Christmas.

cycling to create the bike riding poet-cum-detective for his central character. Mr McNamara said: “The story fired my imagination as I began to conjure up what kind of ill-equipped person might end up policing rural communities. As a result, I conceived a character called Josh Rogan who was both a hopeful poet and a detective, but rather useless at both. “During the play, Rogan interviews witnesses and talks to the police via skype. This was pure invention on my part, to make a comic point about a detective who really didn’t do much leg work. So I was surprised during rehearsals to learn about the Cambridgeshire force’s pilot actively encouraging victims of crime to contact the police via skype. “It seems life really can imitate art. If our new comedy is anything to go by let’s hope there are no hapless poets out there who turn to amateur sleuthing.” Actor-comedian, Gerry Howell, takes the central role. He last appeared in the title role of New Perspectives critically acclaimed comedy The Boss Of It All in 2014. He is joined by Boss Of It All co-star, Kate Kordel, alongside Nottingham writer and performer Mufaro Makubika. New Perspectives is the region’s only Arts Council England National Portfolio funded touring theatre. Ballidon Quarry, part of the Tarmac group of companies, is financially supporting the Parwich performance. It is the first time a play has been staged in Parwich Memorial Hall since it was re-built in 2010. Tickets priced at £10 each are available online at the New Perspectives w e b s i t e www.newperspectives.co.uk and from the Sycamore pub and shop in Parwich. The performance in Parwich is made possible with support by Ballidon Quarry, part of the Tarmac Group.

STARK WALL TO

SCENIC WELCOME

A new mural depicting many of the distinctive features of Matlock has transformed the ugly and stained concrete walls alongside Derwent Way from an eyesore into an artwork. The 250 metre long walls had been built alongside Derwent Way (the main A6 road through the town). On 7 November local dignitaries celebrated the completion of the new Matlock Mural. For several years Matlock Civic Association (MCA) had been seeking to improve the stark concrete walls which were becoming progressively more depressing. Several ideas were discussed but only one – the painting of a mural – proved possible. MCA then secured the formal consents from four different authorities and organised the work. The design in cream, beige and blue features the wording Welcome to Matlock, Historic Spa Town with flowing scrolls featuring oak leaves representing the meeting place by the oak (the origin of the town’s name). Local landmarks depicted are the Bandstand and the former Tram Shelter in the Park, Smedley’s Hydro (now County Hall), the Crown in Crown Square, Riber Castle and Rockside Hydro. As well as organising the project, Matlock Civic Association has contributed one third of the £9,000 cost. Association Chairman, Tony Symes thanked those organisations who helped with funding and congratulated Peter Barber, the artist. He concluded... “It has been a long process but we have now

Allwood Kitchens At Allwood, we are sure that the quality and price of our handmade, solid wood furniture cannot 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. 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.

achieved the transformation from eyesore to artwork. Between us we have created something of which we can all be proud”. Matlock Town Council also contributed one third of the cost. The Mayor of Matlock, Councillor Steve Flitter said... “..it will give local people a

renewed sense of pride in their town and also encourage visitors to explore and experience what Matlock has to offer”. Sainsbury’s contributed the remaining one third of the cost. The local Store Manager, Matt Bingham said..... “.. it’s vibrant and

appealing and a great improvement on the approach to our store”. The County Council owns the wall. County Councillor Andy Botham said... “This mural highlights some of the unique aspects of the area and has brightened up the gateway to our town”

OVER £1200

RAISED FOR CHILDREN IN NEED Students and staff at Anthony Gell School once again showed true generosity of spirit as they gave both time and money to raise over £1200 for Children in Need – and they had a lot of fun in doing it. As usual there were a range of fundraising activities including cake selling, fancy dress, busking, coin

collections and odd jobs. The highlight of the day came at lunchtime when the Sixth Form organised a “Gellio Kart” racing extravaganza in the school hall. Teachers joined students in a series of races around the hall on teatray trollies, urged on by most of the school population, who dug deep into their pockets to fill up the collection buckets. Senior Tutor, Rachael Pickford, who co-ordinated the day’s activities was full of praise: “Amazing support from staff and students

who all came together yet again to raise lots of money for such a worthy cause. It was a great day encompassing the caring community that is Anthony Gell.”

WYE AND UPPER DERWENT GROUP OF THE DERBYSHIRE WILDLIFE TRUST

NEXT TALK ‘PLANTS AND WILDLIFE OF TURKEY’

Our next talk sees the return of one of our most popular speakers, a real pre Christmas treat. Dr Patrick Harding is a naturalist and author who lectured at Sheffield University for 20 years, and now enjoys teaching adults. His books vary from guides to edible mushrooms and trees to a beautifully illustrated guide to the wild flowers of the Peak District, making him a most knowledgeable but entertaining speaker. This time Patrick will be talking to us about the fauna and flora of Turkey, found when he was plant hunting there. Going plant hunting in Turkey is definitely a good idea as there are more than 10,000 species of plants in Turkey, and 20% of them are endemic to the area. Some of these plants are the wild ancestors of plants, which we now cultivate over here. Turkey also has 80,000 animal species, and of these 114 are mammals. Animals such as the striped hyena, brown bear, grey wolf and caracal (a medium sized cat) can still be found in Turkey. Habitats there include forests, mountains, wetlands, marine and coastal. This latter environment is important to the endangered loggerhead turtle. They come ashore to lay their eggs on some of Turkey’s long sandy beaches, which were threatened by development. Happily, conservation measures have been taken to ensure that these egglaying sites have been preserved. As Turkey is in a unique location linking Europe and Asia you can see some very interesting migratory species there. One of the most incredible flights occurs when migrating storks fly along the narrow Bosphorous Waterway in Spring and Autumn. For a few weeks at these times of year more than 1/4 million stalks can be seen flying overhead. What a sight! Not surprisingly Turkey is one of the 34 world biodiversity hotspots. This fascinating talk takes place at Darley Dale Methodist Church Hall, Dale Road North on Monday 14 December at 7.30pm. Admission is £2.50 and everyone is very welcome.

Despite no rain or sleet, you'll not be surprised that the weather conditions helped the sale of hot drinks! Although not having an U8 squad for a few years, this year, pooled from Calver and Pilsley, Calver was able to enter two equally matched 5-a-side teams. Interestingly, midway through the competition, it appears that the two equally matched teams occupy opposite ends of the ‘leader board’. All credit to Adrian Ford and Mark

HARTINGTON

CHRISTMAS

A GRAND BOXING DAY CONCERT AT THE OPERA HOUSE BUXTON DECEMBER 26TH

EVENTS

12TH DECEMBER

A range of Christmas events are taking place at Hartington on Saturday 12th December. A vintage tractor run will start from the Village Green at 12 noon, and from 4pm until 7pm, a miniature engines and tractor display will take place. The official switch-on of the village’s Christmas tree lights will take place at 5pm followed by carol singing. From 5.30pm until 7pm, the Christmas tree exhibition will be open in the Village Hall with mulled wine, mince pies, a raffle and tombola. It is free to attend all of the events and everyone is welcome to go along and enjoy the festivities!

“LEST WE FORGET”...

...or “Lena, Harry, Elsie and Jim”. This was the intriguing title of Peter Day’s talk at the latest Bakewell and District Historical Society meeting. Peter has a huge collection of original recordings of songs and music taken out to the front to entertain troops during World War I. Lena, Harry, Elsie and Jim were among the artistes whose voices and music we heard. The idea of ‘entertaining the troops’ was a new one. An actress named Lena Ashwell attempted to organise a concert party at the beginning of the war but was blocked by disapproving Government officials. Only with the support of Princess Victoria did the idea become reality. In January 1915 a small number of musicians, including Ivor Novello, went

out to the front. This was the first of many concerts. Harry Lauder also gave impromptu performances by the roadside for the benefit of troops marching past. In 1917 after the sinking of the Lusitania, America entered the war and Elsie Janis was one of the American entertainers who recollected trying to sing in a terrific thunderstorm. James Europe, composer and lyricist, belonged to a black regiment who entertained with ragtime music in France. Despite being gassed he continued to write songs while in his hospital bed. Peter also read letters and other documents describing the brutal conditions in the trenches and the field hospitals. These and the familiar

words of songs including “Keep the Home Fires Burning”, “Danny Boy” and “Pack up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag” made it a moving and memorable evening. Don’t forget Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th December when we’ll be holding our Victorian Christmas weekend at the Old House Museum! Our historic building will be dressed with candles and greenery, there will be music on both mornings and Christmas readings both afternoons and mince pies, mulled wine and hot chocolate. On Saturday a shuttlebus will be in action to transport you from the town up to the museum. Details of all these delights on our website www.oldhousemuseum.org. com or call 01629 3642.

gave his listeners an appreciation of the crew’s bravery and of the tragedy of the loss of four members of the seven-man crew. Although Bomber Harris, the head of Bomber Command, was a controversial figure because of his advocacy of saturation bombing and clashes with Churchill and other military figures over the efficiency of the raids and later criticisms of moral judgements involved in such tactics, such judgements can in no way detract from the heroism of those charged with implementing Harris’s policy. A vote of thanks was proposed by Chairman Frank Beesley. The Club meets on Tuesday mornings at the Edgefold Club for coffee and biscuits followed by the speaker for the day. Visitors will be welcomed to a “taster visit” to any of the meetings.

At the meeting held on 24 November 2015 Mr. Frank Dickens gave a talk entitled “Sgt. Moore’s War”. This was the story of a plane, a Lancaster bomber and its crew, which in its telling gave a vivid picture of just one of the hundreds of missions undertaken by Bomber Command during World War Two. Through his detailed research which included making contact with many people connected, either directly or indirectly with the incident and the study and collection of flight records and other written accounts, he was able to build up a picture of one plane’s last mission as a member of a Path Finder squadron leading a raid on Essen. He gave details of the plane, its usual armament, the tactics involved in such raids and the personal details of its crew and their training, which

Octagon, this year the event has moved to the Buxton Opera House. Although a different venue, we hope that the usual socially friendly concert will be maintained, plenty of chance for audience participation.

All seats are bookable, be sure to book yours at Adults just £2.75, Concessions £2.10, and Children just £1.50, a treat not to be missed.

I’m prepared, darlings, I’ve got two new whalebone corsets and my deposit on a wooden one! I’m also prepared to follow Lorna’s Light Entertainment Instructions on “How to Give a Pill to a Cat”, though it all sounded a bit risky, with huge tablet and fur loss, probably advantageous to have First Aid Qualifications and a straitjacket for the much loved moggy, if you could ever get hold of it. Did Lorna ever have a cat? Winter Festival. Deer, oh deer! There was no escaping Rudolph’s ruthless raffle sales, but the “Darlings” are very generous, so no need to apply antler pressure. Kate Treves Elected President Baslow W. I. 2016 Kate’s kitchen floor is spotless; that’s because it’s been brushed, scrubbed and polished by her Team after we accidently dropped her floral tribute of fragile Cyclamen, pink Azalea and John Innes Compost. Luckily, Presidential protocol prevailed! Birthday Lunch, Burlington

Room Chatsworth. Leader Christine Thompson. Graceful, golden girls, in gorgeous garments, glittering and glistening like the gilded Golden Gates, a gilt edged gathering of gregarious gastronomes gallivanting again! Delicious food, delightful surroundings and good company, another of Christine’s “tip top” outings. Next year Christine

takes a “sabbatical” from the Team but will still reign supreme at the Jumble Sale, so let’s make it a good one. How many “sorting” days to 5th March? W.I.S.A. Numbers are up because there’s always Barbara Massey’s homebaked cake and a cup of tea, what more could you want? Lunch at Bakewell Golf Club. Leader- Julia Foster.

It’s safe to say that we enjoy a good gossip, a girly giggle and a new “get up”, who wouldn’t? So here we are again, expelling the “golfers” and enjoying their facilities. 9th Dec. 2pm BVH. “A Year in the Life of Baslow W.I.”- Ann McPhie. Afternoon Tea. 16th Dec. 10.45am. B.V.H. Baslow.

LEND US SOME TIME TO HELP THE COMMUNITY...

COULD you spare a few hours a week to help make a real difference to another person’s life? Age UK Befrienders provides social support and companionship to older people living in the community who are isolated, vulnerable, or lonely. The Befriending team urgently needs volunteers who can give a minimum

of 2 hours per week to support the vital service. Volunteering with us will help older people meet their social needs and retain their independence and choice. Our volunteer numbers are going down all the time but by recruiting more people we would help ensure the long-term survival of the service. You don’t need special skills or experience; we

will provide support, training as well as the chance to be part of a friendly team. You could help by doing something as simple as having a cup of tea and a chat, going for a walk or even just a quick chat on the phone. An influx of new volunteers would also give us the opportunity to expand as we currently hold a waiting list with

SOROPTIMISTS’ GLASGOW CONFERENCE

Eight Buxton Club members attended Soroptimists’ Federation Conference in Glasgow at the beginning of November. A combination of sightseeing, shopping, socialising and the Conference programme of events gave them a wonderful few days away!! Soroptimists came from all over the British Isles, the Caribbean, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Malta, Mauritius, Nepal, Nigeria, Malawi, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Zimbabwe

and the Republic of Ireland. Following the opening ceremony and the parade of flags, over the next two days they were entertained by a variety of extremely interesting, inspirational and passionate speakers: Jo Fairley – co-founder of Green & Black organic chocolate Dame Stella Rimington – Former Director General of MI5 HRH The Princess Royal – Save the Children Fund Sarah Montague – BBC broadcaster and presenter

Age UK are URGENTLY seeking volunteers for their Befriending Service in the Derbyshire Dales & High Peak areas – especially Matlock, Wirksworth, Bakewell, Hathersage and the surrounding areas.

Do you enjoy spending time with people? Do you have a few hours a week to spare? Just a couple of hours a week could make a real difference to someone’s life. Support and training will be provided by Age UK and the opportunity to meet other volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact their office on 01433 620263, or alternatively by email at befriending@ageukderbyandderbyshire.org.uk

Justice Rowan Downing – recently completed over eight years as a judge on the Extraordinary Chambers of the Courts in Cambodia dealing with war crimes arising from the Khmer Rouge period. Andrew Bevan – International Justice Mission UK Olivia Giles – in 2002 she caught meningococcal septicaemia and had to have her hands and feet amputated to save her life. In 2007 she founded the charity 500 miles which supplies prosthetic limbs to developing countries. Soroptimist Clubs from all over the Federation gave us presentations on the valuable work they were doing on a variety of projects to help women and children – improving health and education, independence through work, relief work following the earthquake in Nepal, stopping human trafficking. The Change of Insignia ceremony was a particularly proud time for Buxton, as Club member Anne Needham became Midland East Region President for the year.

people who urgently require the service. Angela, a volunteer who has been with the service six years, added, “You really feel you are making a difference to the community and supporting those in need. The people I support have had such interesting lives and it’s so rewarding to see them beam when they reminisce with you. It’s a real joy”. A recipient of the service says, “I don’t get out of the house much, and now live alone. My befriender visits me once a week and I look forward to the visits. We talk about all sorts of things. Like what’s happening in the village and it gives me a real connection with the outside world.” Anyone wanting to volunteer with Age UK please contact the team on 01433 620263 or alternatively at befriending @ageukderbyandderbyshire. org.uk

Thousands of wildlife species are supported by trees – by their leaves, bark, berries and blossoms, and by decaying wood when the tree reaches the end of its life. Trees come in all shapes and sizes. Big trees such as oak, beech and ash are great for big gardens, but even small gardens can accommodate holly, hawthorn or rowan. All are terrific for people and wonderful for wildlife. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! As well as taking reusable bags with you when you go shopping, reduce waste by avoiding needless packaging when buying fruit and vegetables. Use kerbside recycling services, compost your kitchen waste and take unwanted, good quality items to charity shops. All these simple actions stop stuff from being sent to landfill unnecessarily. Go for a walk Walking is good for health and wellbeing, and here in the Peak District we’re spoilt for choice with hundreds of fantastic walks of varying lengths and difficulty. Walking is good for the environment too. Walking to work or school eases congestion on the roads, and cuts pollution that causes problems like asthma. Walking kids to school, instead of driving, improves their concentration and fitness. Send a greeting With Christmas just around the corner, many of us will be thinking of sending cards to family and friends – but each year around a billion of these cards end up in the bin. A simple solution is charity e-cards, available from many organizations including MacMillan and Friends of the Earth. E-cards

can be sent right up to Christmas Eve, so they’re great if you’ve missed the post! Last year we took the money we saved on Christmas cards and postage and planted some trees with award-winning conservation charity Trees for Life (www.treesforlife.org.uk). And if you do end up with a lot of Christmas cards this year, be sure to recycle them – or reuse them by making gift tags for next year.

Have a green Christmas! A real tree is an environmentally friendly choice – plastic trees can’t be recycled and take hundreds of years to break down in landfill. Buying a tree from a Forestry Stewardship Council accredited grower ensures a completely renewable, carbon-neutral tree – which has the added benefit of having provided a habitat for wildlife during its lifetime. At the end of the

festive season your tree can be recycled by the council, and converted into mulch for parks and gardens. Green foliage decorations such as holly, ivy and mistletoe can be also composted at the end of December – and are a natural and traditional way to decorate the home.

BAKEWELL ROTARY CLUB ANNUAL QUIZ NIGHT

On November 6th Bakewell Rotary Club held their annual Quiz Night at the Medway Centre. This year they managed a near full house with nineteen teams of four crowding into the main hall. The assembled throng struggled with the questions set by Bakewell’s No 1 Quiz Master, John Kelsey and his wife Sue. Apart from general knowledge the range covered many themes on

entertainment, history, music and television. Who would have thought that 3 tarts and a pudding could achieve fame? But they certainly did – by coming first in the quiz organised by the International Committee. They beat a team from Rowsley by a tie break question and only one point behind them was the host’s daughter Club – Hope Valley. A tasty buffet prepared

by Kathryn Heath and her team and a raffle providing many excellent prizes made for an excellent evening of fun and friendly rivalry. Grateful thanks to Barrie Stephens and the Committee for their hard work resulting in over £800 being raised to provide valuable help in providing desks for a school in a village which the Club supports in Gambia.

HIGH PEAK WINTER HIKE

More than 600 hikers took to the Derbyshire countryside recently for the BHF’s 21st High Peak Winter Hike in a united front against coronary heart disease, the UK’s single biggest killer. The High Peak Winter Hike, which started and finished at Cromford Meadows, saw hikers cover 17 miles along the High Peak Trail to raise urgently

needed funds for the nation’s heart charity. BHF Event Organiser Andy Coles said: “I would like to thank everyone who took part, everyone who supported our hikers and all of our volunteers particularly The Clay Cross Cadets and The Lions. Despite the cold and windy weather everyone turned up in high spirits to complete the 17 mile hike. Thank you

to everyone who has already sent in their sponsorship money. If you haven’t yet, don’t worry; there’s still time to set up a fundraising page and help us beat our target of £50,000 to go towards essential research into heart disease.” Coronary heart disease is not beaten yet – it remains the single biggest killer in the UK and it’s because of your support, that we are

able to continue our fight to find a cure. The BHF organises more than 50 events every year, from on and off-road bike rides to swims and half marathons. Upcoming hikes in the North of England include Hadrian’s Wall Hike on 24th April and Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge on 9th July 2016, visit bhf.org.uk/events for more information.

Local Architects WIN NATIONAL ARCHITECTURE AWARD J

AMES DARWENT ARCHITECTURE, the Castleton-based practice in the Hope Valley, has recently been presented with the national award for ‘Small Architectural Practice of the Year 2015’ by Build Magazine, which has over 750,000 monthly subscribers. The practice is delighted to win this award as principal James explains, “We are thrilled, especially as the prestigious award came out of the blue via an anonymous nomination. It is fantastic recognition for the last five years’ work as the practice has evolved from its inception in late 2010 when it was first introduced in the Peak Advertiser.”

James Darwent Architecture is an exciting, young practice that remains small with three members plus the office cocker spaniel, Lady. James studied at the Mackintosh School of Art in Glasgow before completing his education at multi-award winning Glasgow practice Gareth Hoskins Architects. Today the practice has two bases: one in Castleton at the heart of the Peak Park where James grew up, and the other in the trendy suburb of Chorlton-cum-Hardy in South Manchester. In Derbyshire, the practice has grown a reputation for injecting sympathetic, contemporary solutions into projects such as

james darwent architecture

Joanna Chow, James Darwent & Craig Baines listed buildings and chapel/barn conversions within the National Park. They have a strong relationship with the planners at Peak Park and often work closely with them to achieve interesting, innovative solutions in response to difficult project briefs or site constraints. “We aim to offer inspiring, contemporary ideas that strive to deliver beyond expectations; maximising available space whilst respecting historic architectural traditions. The practice takes influence from a wide range of sources such as magazines and travelling; but especially focuses on the local area of each project and distils what character, materiality and style

define a place. We then translate this into proposals so that any scheme will sit harmoniously within its surroundings. We also work closely with the client to achieve a collaborative design solution tailored to their needs.” At James Darwent Architecture, we would be delighted to look at any of your upcoming projects, no matter how large or small. We hope that we can offer you some inspiring ideas that maximise your available space and could even save you money. We can arrange a free initial consultation where we are happy to discuss initial ideas and project possibilities with you.

NATIONAL #GIVINGTUESDAY CHAMPION

Andrew Davies, a Year 12 student at Lady Manners School, has been awarded the national title of #GivingTuesday Champion. From the age of 13, Andrew has endured chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant and countless stays in hospital having been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia. He is now in remission. Throughout all of this, he has worked hard to keep up with his schoolwork, culminating in an excellent set of GCSE results.

Andrew is not one to sit back and take things easy so, alongside all of his other achievements, he is determined to raise £150,000 – the amount he would have had to pay for his bone marrow transplant had it not been available on the NHS. He is a good way towards reaching his goal as he has already raised over £60,000 which has benefitted Sheffield Children’s Hospital through its charity, The Children’s Hospital Charity. #GivingTuesday (1 December 2015) is a global

RICHARD WHITTLESTONE HIGH PEAK DIABETIC SELF HELP GROUP

Gallery Open every day until Christmas 10am - 5pm

Original Paintings Prints Cards 2016 Calendar The Richard Whittlestone Wildlife Gallery is open every day until Christmas. Packed full of wonderful original works, limited edition prints and greetings cards, plus the 2016 calendar.

Famed for his exquisite paintings of wild birds and animals - many to be found right here in the Peak District - Richard hides a tiny fly on each piece, although it takes a keen eye to spot it!

With ample free parking and set amidst the beautiful countryside of the Chatsworth estate, the gallery is well worth a visit. www.richardwhittlestone. co.uk 01246 582620.

The group’s Treasurer Ian Taylor and secretary, Sue Barber attended a positive and interesting meeting at Buxton town hall recently. The High Peak Borough Council hosted the meeting for local groups to launch Buxton’s “5 Steps “ project. This encourages groups and individuals to look at the structure of their lifestyle, to see what improvements can be made to their health and wellbeing. The High Peak Diabetic Self Help group will take part in partnerships with other groups to help all concerned , and the details will be discussed at the AGM on Monday 21st December 7pm at the Buckingham Hotel Buxton. Members’ ideas will be discussed at length and taken into consideration when the final partnership arrangements are made. This is an exciting time for people to help themselves and others locally. All welcome to the meeting.

BAGS OF EXPERIENCE IN BRADWELL SCHOOLS IT HAS BEEN A The Heads of both Bradwell schools were pleased to receive long service awards from Derbyshire County Council. Geoff Wharton, Headteacher of Bradwell CE Infant School, and Kim Attwood, Headteacher of Bradwell Junior School, were both honoured at a recent presentation. Both have completed more than 25 years as teachers in Derbyshire. By a remarkable coincidence

both Heads took up their posts at their schools in Bradwell on the same day

in September 2009. Geoff Wharton said, “It was wonderful to see both

our schools represented at the award ceremony. We are fortunate to have

such experienced leaders for our two schools in the same village. The children will be very excited to see the photographs in school, 25 years will seem like an eternity to some of them.” Kim Attwood added, “It really doesn’t seem like 25 years ago that I started teaching… time really does fly when you are having fun! It is great to be able to work in partnership with Mr

Wharton in order to provide the best learning experiences that we can for the children of Bradwell.” Applications for primary school places are open now until 15th January 2016. If you would like to look around either school you will be made very welcome. Please call to arrange a visit, details can be found on both school websites.

BUSY HALF TERM AT ELTON SCHOOL

Bikeability The Year 6 children have completed the Bikeability scheme – this is Cycling England’s cycle training programme, which has replaced the old Cycling Proficiency test. The children have received training in basic bike handling skills, simple manoeuvres, and road sense. Harvest Supper Thanks to all who came and supported the Harvest Supper – it felt like a real community event. After a short act of worship in church we adjourned back to school for a bring-andshare supper (the food was excellent!), and an impromptu puppet show from some of the children! All donations have now gone to help local charities. Infant class trip to Bolsover Castle The infants visited Bolsover Castle as part of their topic work this half term and had a fantastic day. They had a great time finding out about how the Cavendish Family lived, and counting fireplaces! Luckily the sun shone and they finished the day exploring the new adventure playground. PE at Highfields School The infants enjoyed an exciting P.E Multi-skills morning at Highfields School, taking part in new activities such as curling and balance cones, with help from the Highfields Young Leaders. Clubs This term we have cooked

some delicious meals in cookery club. These include; chicken wraps, pizza and risotto. Recipes can be found on the school website! In computer club we have been creating exciting lands on Minecraft. Recently we have started a choir at Winster School, with children from Elton, Winster and South Darley. We are currently looking at the possibility of setting up a breakfast club. Elton School open morning: Thursday 10th December The school is holding an open morning on Thursday 10th December from 9.30am until 11.30am. This will be an opportunity to drop in and see the school at work, to chat to staff and governors, to see displays of work, and to find out about the wide and varied curriculum we are able to offer in our successful small school. All are welcome, and we particularly invite parents with pre-school children to drop in and see what we are all about. We look forward to seeing you there, and please do spread the word to parents outside the village who may be interested. Other dates for the diary: The school Christmas Concert/Nativity is on Tuesday 8th December at 6pm in church – all are welcome. We are having a joint carol service with Winster and South Darley schools at Winster Church: 2pm on Friday 18th December.

LIVING IN HOPE

The village of Hope has a wealth of history reflected in its early parish registers, revealing glimpses of parishioners and their dayto-day concerns. There was nothing in the ordinary, however, in the names of babies baptised at Hope church in times past. Little boys were variously christened Archilaus, Hercules, Dionysius, Gartrioke, Barsillaus, Hersey, Elizeus and even Amorous! Virtues rather than mythology inspired choices for the girls: Silence, Patience, Temperance, Fidelia and Charity, also Scytha, Emmota, Jocosa, Hephonia, Lozzana and Clerajone. Typically for the times however, infant mortality was high. The same young surnames appear at intervals in the burial register including many sets of twins. In 1636 ‘began the great death of many children and others’ by a contagion that claimed over 30 lives between August and September. The rare inclusion of a nickname appears in the 1721 burial entry of Hugo Bradwell, known for some reason as ‘Shock Hugh’. The word ‘pauper’ appears beside entries a century apart, yet a generous three shillings was given to a ‘distressed knight’, sixpence to a ‘dumb traveller’ and a shilling between a group of four seamen. Local occupations are rarely given but include a fisherman, a miller and three fistulators – the pipeplayers who provided church music. The most intriguing reference to a man of the cloth comes from 1602 when Edmund Eyre, vicar of Hope, was buried at night without service or bell. Whatever he did to disgrace himself is not on record. A price on their heads Various wealthy parishioners remembered the poor in their wills, including lead merchant Joseph Fox in 1669, whilst the Bull Meadow charity produced income to pay the keeper of the parish bull. In 1887 a Miss Bingham gifted The Shambles into public ownership, adding 65

square yards to the churchyard and widening the main road opposite Hall Hotel. It was thanks to a Thornhill donor named Skinner that Hope built its first school in the 1630s. His bequest of £100 provided for a resident schoolmaster, on condition that the parishioners built a schoolhouse. Several payments refer to ‘mossing’ the schoolhouse roof as draught excluder. Vermin, which unfortunately included hedgehogs, otters and badgers, carried a price on their heads – the actual heads to be displayed on the church porch as proof of expenditure. And woe betide any dog which followed its owner into church, for the dog whipper would be waiting. The parish paid for his whip, coat and breeches on top of a salary ‘for his pains in wakening sleepers in ye church, whipping out dogs, keeping ye children quiet and orderly.’ Miscellaneous minor expenses extended to a staff for the constable, payments to the vicar’s wife for washing his surplice and, in 1820 at the death of George 111, black cloth to ‘put the pulpit, desk etc. into mourning.’ Liquor for the steeple The purchase of ale features more frequently in the registers than anything else. Not only was ale supplied to the ringers and singers but also to masons, glaziers, limers, bell-rope fitters and the workmen who fixed the weathercock. Even mortar had a taste for liquor: in 1773 the sum of 16s.6d was spent on malt for liquor to mix with mortar when re-pointing the steeple. This not uncommon mix was believed to account for the long life of an ancient packhorse bridge on the river Manifold at Brund. However, the old village of Hope gradually moved with the times. A microfilm copy of its fascinating registers can be seen in the County Record Office at Matlock, enabling researchers to read for themselves the concerns of bygone vicars, churchwardens and the good people of Hope.

LANDLORDS: DON’T DELAY, INVEST TODAY, SAYS BAGSHAWS RESIDENTIAL Local lettings agent Bagshaws Residential in Bakewell is offering advice to landlords following the announcement of stamp duty changes in Chancellor George Osborne’s Autumn statement. From April 2016, those in England and Wales will have to pay a 3% surcharge on each stamp duty band and Bagshaws Residential believes that now represents a window of opportunity to make investments before the changes hit: “For those looking to invest in a buy to let property or grow their portfolio, do not delay in making plans to get ahead of when the stamp

duty changes come into play,” says Jenni Knight, Lettings Manager at Bagshaws Residential. “There are good opportunities out there where landlords can take advantage of continued rising rents, so taking out an investment now and avoiding the higher fees could be an astute financial decision.” “We urge potential landlords to get in touch today to see how we can assist with all their property needs – be it finding that perfect investment property and offering advice on maximising rental yields to securing the best mortgage deal and understanding

current legislation in the market. But don’t delay, and ensure you meet the deadline when the stamp duty surcharge takes effect next April,” concludes Jenni. Bagshaws Residential is a large and well-regulated, ARLA-qualified letting agent which conducts professional inventories, provides a tailormade approach and is a member of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme.

ABOVE THE FUNDRAISER FOR TIDESWELL PROJECT GUIDE PRICE

AT LATEST ELR AUCTION The latest auction hosted by Sheffield based estate agents Eadon Lockwood and Riddle and featuring properties in Sheffield and Derbyshire attracted over 150 potential bidders; with six of the properties going under the hammer selling well above their guide prices. The first lot of the auction was the highly-anticipated Old Hall Farm in the beautiful hamlet of Brightholmlee in S35, Sheffield. Despite having an expected renovation bill of one million pounds, the lot was sold for a staggering £202,000 – £122,000 more than the guide price. The second property to go under the hammer was a mid terrace property in Hillsborough; listed at a guide price of £100,000 before going for an impressive £135,000. Lot 3 was an impressive stone built Victorian property in Nether Edge sold for £300,000 – £20,000 above the guide price; and nestled in the picturesque Peak District village of Youlgreave was lot 5, a three bedroom semi-detached property which sold for £230,000 – exceeding its

guide price of £195,000. The seventh lot of the auction was a small but charming cottage in Stanton-in-the-Peak which had a guide price of £125,000 but sold for £143,000. The final lot sold at the auction was a large five bedroom home in Hope Valley, Derbyshire, which in spite of its structural movement, sold for almost half a million at £480,000. In need of a cosmetic makeover but boasting stunning views of the Peak District, the property guide price was £450,000. Overseeing the event, which took place at the Maynard Arms in Derbyshire earlier this month, was experienced auctioneer Nick Riddle. He said: “We had some really interesting properties at the October auction; the Old Hall Farm dwelling in particular. We’re excited now to see its renovation take shape as the new owners look to bring it back to its original glory.” The next auction is scheduled to take place in the spring. For further information please contact Nick Riddle or Fran Richards on 01433 651888.

A leading theatre company is coming to Tideswell to help a Tideswell restoration project. New Perspectives perform He Wore A Red Hat in Fountain Square Church on 12th December as a fundraiser for the church’s Living Stones project. It’s a festive comedy mystery not to be missed and will raise funds towards the project, which will help bring about a new base for community activities, including performance, as well as a reordered church. Come to the show: help raise funds. This fundraising idea was developed between Tideswell Community Players and New Perspectives, who have been performing in the village for many years. The Players first brought New Perspectives here with Thank God For Cod in 2002 and have returned many times since. If you've seen any of their shows you'll know they are top quality. The Players are eager to support the redevelopment,

which has an exciting space ideal for performance, and

are already planning to help with lighting. This

performance will give playgoers a chance to contribute to the restoration. New Perspectives Executive Director Sally Anne Tye said, “We are delighted to return to Tideswell. We know fundraising is vital: to develop and tour our work or to help support rural communities. The play will help Tideswell raise funds for the project.” He Wore A Red Hat: Great fun and suitable for everyone, ages 12 to 112! Don't miss it, spread the word and help the restoration! Saturday 12th December, 7.30pm. All tickets £12. 20% of every ticket sold goes towards the project. Tickets from Tideswell Post Office. www.ticketsource/tideswell theatre or www.newperspectives.co.uk (small charge applies). Bookings on theatre@tideswell.net.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT I know that there are many people in Derbyshire Dales that rely on the Community Bus and we will keep doing all we can to save it. On behalf of the team and thousands of Community

As you might be aware, a small team and I have spent the past month campaigning across Derbyshire to save Community Transport Services. We have been carrying out a petition against the County Council’s proposals to withdraw funding for Community Buses – which we fear will harm the wellbeing of the elderly, disabled and most disadvantaged. The team and I have emailed hundreds of Parish Councils, schools, clubs, organisations and businesses across the county asking them to get behind our campaign. As a result, petitions have been displayed in shops, pubs, post offices and village halls

right across Derbyshire. The response has been overwhelming and I would like to say a big thank you to everybody who has signed the petition or has helped to get as many signatures as they can. At the time of writing we have just over 17,000 signatures – 2,700 online and the rest on paper. This means that we have easily hit the 7,500 signatures needed to force County Councillors to debate the issue at their next meeting in December. We are hoping that the strength of support for this service will make Councillors think long and hard before voting on whether or not to withdraw the funding for this vital service.

Bus users, thank you again for all your support. Colin Swindell Independent District Councillor – for Winster and South Darley Ward Derbyshire Dales 07816986956.

SUPERHERO

FUNDRAISING CHALLENGE Pupils at Baslow St Anne’s School raised over £500 for Children in Need by dressing up as superheroes – all in return for a contribution of £2. Children were not the only ones to dress up, with a competition for the best-dressed teddy. Pupils took part in a parade to show off their inventive costumes and toys. The novelty of lessons in disguise was fully appreciated by Tristan in year 1, who said: “I love my

Batman costume and my power-flying and super strength!” The youngest members of the school also dressed Pudsey by colouring items of clothing for the Children in Need bear. The juniors also joined in. “PE was based on superheroes and we played lots of fun and cool games,” said Issy from class 5. The school raised a grand total of £527.61. Well done to everyone who took part – including the teddies!

HOBS The monthly meeting of HOBS took place in the Wheatsheaf Hotel, Bakewell and after our usual three course meal we were entertained by two very pleasant ladies from Derbyshire Farming Life at

Blackwell. They gave us a very comprenehsive talk together with the pictures of the work they undertake. An evening enjoyed by all who attended and new members would be made very welcome.

THE VERSE OF PEPPER ARDEN

Around 200 years ago Buxton was booming as a fashionable spa and wealthy people came to take the waters. Poor people came too but by the time they had made their way here they had little or no money left to pay for treatment. At the Old Hall Hotel it was customary to send a plate down the table after Sunday dinner for contributions from the guests, the collection to be shared amongst poor invalids. Around 1780 one of the guests, supposedly Richard Pepper Arden of Arden Hall near Stockport, composed the following rhyme for the entertainment of his friends - Thomas (afterwards Lord) Erskine and Hugh Leycester:

‘Gentle Lady! pray be kind To the halt, the lame the blind, Who come to Buxton from a distance And cannot, without your assistance Afford so long to bathe and drink As they and the Physicians think Would be of service to their bodies. Then don’t refuse, O lovely goddess! To give the little boon I beg That he who has a wooden leg May get such strength unto the other That it may scarcely want its brother, And she who has a single eye May keep it open ‘till she die. So he who ne’er may hope to dance May here at least be made to prance; And she who cannot kill her man May see the eyes of you who can.’ Odds boddikins! The following response is said to have been composed by a lawyer named Foster Bower on behalf of the ‘Gentle Lady’: ‘Sturdy Beggar! keep your distance; I shall give you no assistance, Nor will you find my purse or strong sense Touch’d by your or Erskine’s

nonsense. Deuce take it, sir! (I could say more If gentle Ladies ever swore.) Odds boddikins! My Master Leycester, Have people nought to do from Chester But this - to throw away their time By asking Charity in rhyme? And then such argument! why truly But let us talk a little coolly The De’il himself is surely in ye To think me such a simple ninny That I should money be advancing To set the Beggars here aprancing. For that’s the Charity you beg That folks may prance on wooden leg, That ev’ry stump may breed a riot, And so destroy all peace and quiet. This for the men; and for the women Your reasons have a little in ‘em. I’m much surprised you it should think hard If ev’ry single, winking

blinkard, That has no bus’ness with an eye, Don’t keep it safe until she die, And merely, too, that she may see Murder (Lord, bless us!) done by me. Can you expect one should be willing To save one eye to pay a shilling, If for less money and no pain One could produce the use of twain? And here you might without much trouble Sixpence in gin - one eye sees double And so you see, my Master Leycester, From me you’ll only touch a tester,* Nor will you out of that e’en teaze me Unless you argue more to please me. At present not a single farden,* Maugre* the verse of Pepper Arden.

BUXTON’S

PRESENT FROM THE PAST PROJECT Buxton Museum and Art Gallery, Buxton and District U3A, Discover Buxton, Liz Mackenzie the new Community Officer for the Crescent and the Past Lives Team are working together on a project to capture residents memories and create an audio and visual archive. Buxton’s ‘Present from the Past’ project will capture sound-bites and snap-shots of the town and bring the rich history of Buxton to life.The memories and images collected will help inform the development of the Buxton Crescent and Spa Heritage Experience in the Pump House, be part of the ‘Collections in the Landscape’ project at the Museum as well as being passed on in tours of the town for local people, visitors and tourists. The new archive will also play a part in future research, education and schools projects as well as talks and events at the Crescent.Liz Mackenzie the Community and Volunteer Officer for the Crescent added that, “This is a key moment in Buxton’s history with work to start on the Pump House and main Crescent site soon and a perfect time to reflect on the past and capture precious memories and images. This collaborative project will unearth and preserve a key archive for many people of all ages to experience and learn from.” Derbyshire County Council Cabinet Member for Health and Communities Councillor Dave Allen said, “This project comes at an important time for our museum. Our Heritage Lottery funded project, Collections in the Landscape, will be transforming the way we are able to interpret and present this material, both inside the

museum and online. We will also make sure that the stories generated from this exciting project will be available to future generations at our record office in Matlock”. Anyone who is interested in the project or has memories about the town they would like to share is invited to the Buxton Present from the Past Launch event on Thursday 10th December at 10.30am at the Old Hall Hotel. The informal event will begin with a brief presentation on the project and how you can get involved by representatives from the Museum, U3A, Discover Buxton and Crescent. There will then be an opportunity to share memories about Buxton over tea, coffee and cake afterwards. Netta Christie from Discover Buxton Tours commented that, “Our involvement will mean that visitors and locals can share in the collective memories of Buxton’s townspeople to better understand why Buxton is special. To that end, the oral contributions of people will really be not only a present from the past, but a present for our future”. Anne Rogerson of Buxton and District U3A added that, “This joint project offers a unique opportunity for those with knowledge of times past in Buxton to share those gems of information and tell of the part they and their families played in the life of the town as far back as living memory and stories can take us. Please help us to create this record.” If you would like to attend the event or for further details please e m a i l : l . m a c ke n z i e @ b u x t o n crescent.com

Bookstore Brierlow Bar

The decline of the retail book business has left many towns and cities without a bookshop at all, save for a Smiths or a Waterstones; but conversely this is helping the remaining few, like Bookstore Brierlow Bar, to survive in a rapidly shrinking 'market.' The shop has a very wide catchment area, of maybe 100 miles or so, as the very last of the large independent bookshops to retain an enormously diverse and 'in depth' selection of titles, and at the most competitive of prices too, most titles being less than half price. With the price of fuel, and the necessity to budget on days or weekends out in the present economic climate, the tourist or day visitor needs more than ever to prioritise their 'target' venues, locating as many interesting places to visit within as small a geographical area as possible. Nowhere has such a concentration of desirable visitor attractions as the 'hinterland' of Buxton, Bakewell, Ashbourne and Matlock; including Chatsworth House,

better known around England as Mumming. The dictionary tells us that a ‘mummer’ is one who ‘masquerades’ in a folk play usually at Christmas whilst a ‘Guiser’ is a person in disguise. The Winster

tradition, characters and costumes are based upon a photograph taken outside Winster Hall in C1870. This is the oldest existing photographic record of the mumming/guising tradition in the world today).

Take a large bowl, check the wine again. To be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Repeat. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point it's best to make sure the wine is still OK. Try another cup ... just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2

eggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Pick the ruddy fruit up off floor. Mix on the turner ... If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver. Sample the wine to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Check the wine. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink – whatever you can find. Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the window. Finish the wine and wipe counter with the cat. Go out and buy a cake. Bingle Jells and a CRAPPY HISTMAS, Hic!

ANNUAL CHRISTMAS

SPECTACULAR IN SUPPORT OF #CHALLENGEDERBYSHIRE

Brass and youth choirs return to the Winding Wheel for Annual Christmas Spectacular in support of #ChallengeDerbyshire. On Sunday 13th December, the highly acclaimed Sir Richard Arkwright’s Masson Mills Band will perform alongside local school choirs and the outstanding youth choral group, Perfect Pitch, to support three local charities. The annual Christmas Spectacular at Chesterfield’s Winding Wheel will raise money for #ChallengeDerbyshire, an initiative supporting Ashgate Hospicecare, Blythe House Hospice and Helen’s Trust. These three local charities touch the lives of many local people and have a great need for support, especially in the lead up to Christmas. All the proceeds from this event will go to help local people like Trish from Bradwell. Trish was diagnosed with stage two ovarian cancer in 2007. In 2008 Trish received chemotherapy, which was sadly unsuccessful, and then radiotherapy sessions, which made her very ill. Trish’s story demonstrates the impact that the combined services provided by Ashgate Hospicecare, Blythe House Hospice and Helen’s Trust have on patients in Derbyshire. Following her cancer treatment, Trish 69, was admitted to the Inpatient Unit at Ashgate Hospicecare. She spent three weeks at the hospice initially, recovering from her radiotherapy treatment and has since had five visits for medical and symptom control. “The hospice itself is absolutely amazing. The nursing staff can’t do enough for you. I’d never be afraid to come in. I have every faith in them that I know I’ll go in but also come out. My outlook has changed completely. Nothing is too much trouble. They’re just incredible.” Trish now receives care at home from a number of

local services, which includes visits once a week from Hospice at Home, provide by Ashgate Hospicecare. Helen’s Trust are also providing regular visits from carers, which allows her husband to have some well deserved time to himself to do the things he wants to do and recharge his batteries. This enables him to continue to be a great support for Trish. “He’s gone through the mill as much as I have. It’s the whole family receiving the care. It enables him to go out and take some quality time without thinking ‘what’s she doing, has she tripped up?’ He needs respite as well as I do.” Trish also visits Blythe House Hospice once a week. “I go to Blythe House Hospice on a Thursday and I have an appointment every so often with Dr. Parnacott, who is my saviour. At one time I had to have blood transfusions and she can organize one by just

pressing a few buttons on the phone. She is one brilliant lady. “At the moment I have everything I could wish for. I’ve got my independence back to a certain extent and that’s really given me a boost. It has given me hope. Hope has been passed onto everybody.” #ChallengeDerbyshire was formed to raise awareness and much needed funds for these three wonderful local charities. The band and choirs are delighted to be supporting such a marvellous local good cause. Tickets are £12.50 for adults, £10 for concession/children and £35 for a family ticket. Get into the festive spirit whilst supporting a worthy cause. The Christmas Spectacular starts at 3pm and tickets can be purchased from the Box Office on 01246 345 222 or visit www.chestefield theatres. co.uk

BIG PROJECT IN THE GAMBIA

Old seats with old wood A big thank you to Bakewell Travel, Twiggs of Matlock and Pinelog of Bakewell who supported a couple from Bakewell and a big support from Bakewell and District Rotary Club. In January 2015 the couple visited a very poor area in the Gambia to check on water filters which the Aquabox filter

team made in 2011. After checking all filters were still working well they visited a local school in Brikama and discovered all the 48 desks had no wood for seats, backs, shelves and a desk top to write on. The photographs show number one classroom on Monday 16th November 2015 when the couple did an important job of

Students in finished classroom

Repaired desks measuring each desk for the new wood. The second photo taken on Friday 20th November shows all the new wood fixed to the desks and the third photo taken on Monday 23rd November shows the students in Class one. The total of students in the school is 71 boys and 71 girls. There is no electric, no toilets and

they depend on Aquabox water filters for clean water. After getting most funding from Rotary the couple had an open garden to raise more funds for screws and metal. A big thank you to everyone who came to the event and donated for the project, by the way the

temperature in Gambia in the shade at the school was 38º. All 142 students and teachers were delighted

with the repaired desks including the Minister of Education, the village elders and Mr Cham the headmaster.

A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO THE EYE PLACE

Bakewell U14’s rugby team would like to thank Alex Kemp of the Eye Place Opticians for his kind generosity in sponsoring K.2 waterproof tops for the squad, which were presented to the boys by Jack his Optician on Alex’s behalf. Unfortunately Jack wasn’t able to see our boys in action due to yet another game being cancelled because of our waterlogged pitch. Our club dates back to 1928 with 140 members

but because we don’t own our own pitch it is impossible to receive any grants to improve the drainage. If we owned a piece of suitable land as a club we would be able to obtain funding to give the players a pitch to play on all season. If any landowners would like to offer us a piece of land please don’t hesitate to get in touch. U14’s manager Tree Law 07974 960209 treelaw1@gmail.com

CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR BIN COLLECTIONS Derbyshire Dales residents have been reminded that Christmas and New Year bank holidays mean their bin collections timetables will change in late December and early January. But to avoid confusion, the District Council will not be bringing forward any collections this year - bin teams will either be collecting on residents' normal day or later than usual. In addition to scheduled recycling (blue bin/blue bags) collections, the District Council's contractor Serco will do a household waste collection on consecutive weeks (w/c 21 and 28 December) to help with the usual build-up of festive throw-away material. To help prioritise household waste collections, all garden waste (green bin/compostable sacks) collections are suspended during those two weeks. Food waste collections will continue to happen weekly and recycling collections fortnightly. Every household in the district received a Christmas and New Year collections timetable in the

Chile and I – A TALE OF TWO JOURNEYS

The history of twentiethcentury Chile was the subject of an absorbing talk given recently to the Bakewell and District Probus Club by one of its members, Alberto Hinrichsen who grew up in that country. After summarising his family background, Alberto described the political and social changes that occurred in Chile since the 1920s. A ‘Popular Front’ regime was elected and held government from 1938 until 1946. (Similar movements had emerged in France and Spain in response to the rise of Fascism in Europe.) Later, in the 1960s, major developments such as the American Civil Rights and anti-Vietnam War movements, the Cuban Revolution, and the leftwards political shift of the Roman Catholic Church all had their influence on Chilean events. As a result, Chile experienced first a Christian Democratic led ‘Revolution in Freedom’ and then, in the early 1970s President Allende was elected with a programme to build Socialism by democratic means. His reforms were fiercely resisted by the opposition parties (which were supported by the American President Nixon) and in 1973 he was ousted by a military coup led by the notorious General Pinochet.

On this walk I was not alone, as for my regular fortnightly blog I decided to write about a recent guided walk I had led with a group of visitors to the Peak District who wanted a nice leisurely wander through the White Peak. A small Slack’s coach brought them to Parsley Hay on the High Peak Trail, the perfect location to start as their drive to meet me took them on a rollercoaster scenic ride along the A515. Also, Parsley Hay has toilet facilities that are available throughout the year. Trail walking in winter months is always a good option to avoid mud and slippery slopes. However to make a circular route is a bit difficult without having to cross lots of fields and stiles, and so I plotted a linear route to Monyash. After a welcome with health and safety briefing and a quick check to make sure everyone was wearing sensible footwear and clothing, I told the group a bit about the National Park in general and pointed out what they could see in the far reaching views that surrounded us. We then set off at a gentle pace passing the quaint little round-house known as a ‘kazun’ which was built in 2013 by Croatian craftsmen using traditional methods. It was evidently a gift from the Republic of Croatia. My guests were impressed with the mile upon mile of drystone walls encapsulating fields of pasture as far as the eye could see, something us Derbyshire folk often take for granted. Every so often there was a huddle of cows or a scattering of sheep. The sun was shining on Cotesfield Farm, a typical

16th/17th century 3storeyed farmhouse which sparked up a conversation about farming methods here and abroad. With many Granges in the area I then went on to explain how centuries ago land hereabouts was often owned by Abbeys before Henry VIII and the Dissolution of the Monasteries put the land back into private ownership.

where we tucked into a scrumptious lunch of sandwiches, home-made chips and delicious soup flavoured with locally produced Hartington Stilton. Warm, well fed and enthused by Derbyshire hospitality, the group set off on their final leg of our 4-mile ramble, crossing a couple of fields to the former Roman Road, now a busy 21st-century highway

character properties that are home to a community of about 300 residents living in this quintessential English village that also contains a pub, cafe and duck pond. Situated at some 900 feet above sea level in a bed of clay, surrounded by limestone that was once exploited for its veins of lead ore, Monyash once had five ponds or meres, making it the perfect, watering point for drovers animals, pack ponies, carriage horses and cart horses at an intersection of various old routes. Three hundred years ago the King’s Highway from Derby to Manchester came through the village before the turnpike road was laid that we now know as the A515. Our walk into the village passed the local pinfold where stray animals would have been held until their owners could be traced and fined before the animals were released. Chapel Street contains a former Quaker meeting house with small burial site at the rear. John Gratton who died in 1711 initiated and encouraged the nonconformist movement here, which proved so popular that by the late 18th century Monyash was a Quaker stronghold. In fact many of the local lead

Although it was the wrong time of year for a nature ramble to see wild flowers, we did come across an odd delicate bloom to show by example that trails are a corridor of wild flowers, fungi, and grasses through an otherwise cultivated landscape, providing a passageway for birds and insects. It was an easy walk to Hurdlow where a pub lunch had been booked in advance, and The Royal Oak certainly did us proud. We were warmly welcomed to our reserved tables beside a roaring log fire

where we stopped, looked, listened and then legged it quickly to the other side! The Bull i’ th’ Thorn is an impressive former coaching inn with the very early date of 1472 on its front facade. A camera moment followed before we headed down Hutmoor Butts, a fabulous green grassy track with views toward distant peaks and landmarks, enabling me to elaborate with lots of local knowledge and snippets of interest. We were now treated to a short impromptu visit into the yard of The Derbyshire Centre donkey sanctuary by the Manager. Officially the sanctuary is open once a month from April to September as well as for special events. Arnie the Poitou stole the show – this shaggy haired sweetheart looks like he has been crossed with a highland cow! In fields alongside the track, small flocks of fieldfare were flying about from tree to tree before taking to the skies like a miniature murmuration, whilst nearby a proud cock pheasant strutted his stuff to the admiration of my group. As we wandered down towards Monyash I pointed out the spire of St Leonards which suddenly came into view. Dating back in part to the 12th century, the church is surrounded by a medley of

mines were owned by the London Lead Company which was a Quaker firm. Across the road is the Methodist Chapel. A school bus had arrived to take home the little contingency of children that attend Monyash School, a rare surviving outreach of education. At one time every village had its own school but over the years many have closed. The group now temporarily divided, some to sample a pint of local real ale in the Bulls Head, whilst others headed to the Smithy Cafe for a pot of tea or frothy latte. Soon their bus would arrive to scoop them all up, taking them to a local hotel where their Peak District experience would continue overnight. I’m passionate and proud of Derbyshire and love to show it off to visitors from near or far. I enjoy being a Pied Piper, leading groups over hill and down Dale but I also treasure the times when I can amble all alone and enjoy the countryside by myself. Sally Mosley www.sallymosley.co.uk
