It’s that time of year again. While some people will have finished their Christmas shopping weeks ago, many of us will be spending the coming days in a state of panic as we frantically rush from shop to shop to buy all those last minute presents. Shopping for Christmas presents can be stressful, as we try to track down perfect gifts for friends and family. Crowded car parks and busy shopping centres are no fun – but there is another way to shop. Buying locally produced food, drink and crafts as presents can really take the pressure off at this busy time of year. Our Peakland towns and villages can be wonderful places to shop – the Christmas lights of Castleton, for example, can turn a shopping expedition from a pain into a pleasure. Buying from local tradespeople helps boost the local economy, and is especially important for rural
communities. And local food and crafts have a much lower impact on the environment than massproduced presents. The transport needed to get them from the producer into our homes is minimal, and they often have less packaging to boot. Keep calm – buy local! We have some amazingly talented artists and craftspeople here in the Peak District. There are many Christmas markets and events taking place over the coming weeks, offering the perfect opportunity to buy handmade, beautifully designed items as gifts – and soak up some festive atmosphere at the same time! Check out the What’s On section of the Peak Advertiser to start planning. The Arts Derbyshire w e b s i t e (www.artsderbyshire.org.uk) is another great place to look for arts and crafts events – and you can find
artists in your area. For example, check out the delightful ceramic wall plaques and tree decorations made by Andrea Leigh, who takes her inspiration from the landscapes and wildlife of the Peak District. Another local artist to look out for is Hayley Henderson. Her gorgeous mixed-media illustrations featuring toadstools and woodland creatures make unique gifts that would be perfect for a child’s bedroom – or any room, for that matter. You can see more of Hayley’s work, and order original artwork and prints, via her Facebook page at www.facebook.com/hayley loucraft. Art-lovers will also adore Sarah Parkin’s fabulous watercolours of Derbyshire s c e n e r y (www.sarahparkin.co.uk). Haddon, Oker and Matlock Bath all feature in Sarah’s paintings, which can be bought as originals or prints by arrangement from her Matlock studio – email sarah@sarahparkin.co.uk. A small selection is also available to buy from the artists’ gallery at Foxglove Farm, near Rowsley. Light a candle Candles and Christmas go hand in hand, and what could be nicer than receiving a deliciously scented candle made here in the Peak District? On a Wick and a Prayer ( w w w. o n a w i c k . c o . u k )
produces handmade candles in Tissington, including a lovely choice of festive candles such as evocative Nordic spruce or fruity orange and cranberry. Large and small candle jars are available in 21 different scents: try lime and basil, geranium and chamomile, or fresh fig. There are extra large hurricane candles, too. These beautifully decorated candles, in 15 different designs, are lit from within by a tealight – so they never burn down, effectively lasting forever! Bath foams, shower gels and soaps are always popular gifts – but finding items made from ethically sourced, natural ingredients isn’t always easy.

Enjoy A Musical Christmas With Dalediva and Help Them Take On The World!
Award-winning Derbyshire chorus DaleDiva can help you get into the Christmas spirit with a series of festive concerts and market stall events. The Divas are on their way to the World Championships in Las Vegas next year and are hosting a programme of events to add their musical festive sparkle and also to raise funds. The Matlock Bath-based women’s four-part harmony
chorus won at national convention this year which means it will be ‘Going for Gold’ singing against some of the best choruses in the world on the famous MGM Grand stage in October 2015. It will be the Divas’ biggest challenge yet to raise £65,000 over the next 10 months to help get every Diva to Vegas. DaleDiva musical director Ally Law said: “The Divas
have got a very exciting new year coming up and we’re ending a fabulous 2014 with our busiest Christmas yet. “We’re so proud to be representing Derbyshire and our country in the World Championships and are doing everything we can to get the whole chorus to Vegas. “We’re appealing for sponsors and have drawn up a packed programme of fundraising events over
Pick-up points near you!
Christmas and the coming year. With help from our local community we know we can do it and appreciate every little bit of support we get.” Tickets are now on sale for two ‘Christmas with DaleDiva’ concerts at Bakewell Methodist Church in Matlock Street, Bakewell on Thursday 11 December at 7.30pm and at Holy Trinity Church in Derby Road, Matlock Bath, on Thursday 18 December at 7.30pm. Tickets for both events are £7 and available from www.dalediva.com or by calling 01629 56988 or 07594 890 625. Festive shoppers can also see the Divas in action on Saturday 13 December busking in Matlock in the morning, moving through Matlock Bath and on to Masson Mills Shopping Village in the afternoon. The chorus has drawn up a packed programme of extra Las Vegas fundraising events over the coming year and people can also help by visiting its ‘Going for Gold’ webpage to see how they can donate and get involved from as little as £1 at www.dalediva.com Follow the Divas at www.facebook.com/dalediva

At the Annual Meeting on 5th November Christine Levasseur was re-elected President and the Secretary, Treasurer and Committee were chosen. Judith Hamilton reported on the year’s activities. Some members had been to the Spring Council Meeting in Chesterfield where poet and broadcaster Ian McMillan spoke about his work. Michael Portillo and Calendar Girl Angela Baker were the speakers at the Derby Autumn Meeting. Talks during the year included the work of the Derbyshire Blood Bikes, the Red Arrows display team, biometrics and the Cromford and High Peak Railway. Member Janet Chambers gave an account of her visit to Japan. Christine and her husband Ken showed slides of their walk along Offa’s Dyke. Cromford hosted two Group Social Meetings. Maureen Taylor dressed as a 16th century woman and told us about her life. Christine organised games at the “Via Gelleration” evening. The Group Walk was led by Cromford with refreshments in the Institute. Members have also been on walks in Belper and Bakewell, explored the fields around Bonsall and hiked along Cromford Canal. Two members went to Tissington to see the WI centenary baton on its way through Derbyshire. The Ambergate Pudding evening was much enjoyed, and members took part in the County Quiz at Swanwick and organised a Group quiz at Wirksworth. We had a book stall at Celebrating Cromford, and enjoyed our annual darts and dominoes evening at the Bell Inn. At one of the knit and natter get togethers we filled shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. Judith was awarded a certificate for gaining most points in the year’s competitions, and Janet was thanked for her hard work organising many of the activities. During the evening jacket potatoes were served to celebrate Bonfire Night. At the meeting on 3 December we made Christmas crafts under the guidance of Ann Pocklington. Meetings are held at Cromford Institute, The Hill, on the first Wednesday of each month except August. New members and visitors are welcome. For more information contact Janet on 01629 822319.

BOOKS FOR ST MARY’S TAPELJUNG
Children and staff at S. Anselm’s school are collecting books to send to Nepal. Following the recent refurbishment of the school library any unneeded library books are being sent to St Mary’s, Taplejung, in Nepal. The school is also happy to collate any books donated by anyone for delivery to Nepal. Peter Phillips, S. Anselm’s Headmaster, said, “We are very excited to be part of helping a school in Nepal
establish a library and encourage reading. Education should be a right for all, not a privilege.” Taplejung is in the far eastern district of Nepal; St Mary’s was established in 1993 as a primary school and has since grown to a boarding school to accommodate children from neighbouring valleys. There are 400 children at St Mary’s, ranging from nursery age to 15 years of age, of which about 45 are full time boarders. St Mary’s was founded by Suresh Lama in 1993 who wanted to educate his own children; the school now has 18 teachers. Suresh Lama has recently built a library and has requested help in providing books. If you have any books at home that your children no longer need please drop them at the S. Anselm’s school office marked for Nepal. Thank you!

COMMUNITY RULES OK!
£275 Turf turning Are you interested in taking part in local community action? There is a wide variety of community initiative already taking place in the Peak District – as government support decreases, rural areas have to look after themselves more and we are certainly doing that. The Bakewell Green Festival showcased a remarkable range of activity in our area, one aspect being the impressive amount of community action in many of the villages and parishes. The second meeting of the follow up programme to the Green Festival will aim to share the experiences of some of those already working on c o m m u n i t y initiatives and offer ideas for anyone hoping to set up something new. There will be representatives from

The idea is to share and discuss the wide range of initiatives to be found locally, to explore the strengths and pitfalls of community action, and to look at how we can support each other into the future.

OUR THANKFUL VILLAGES Amongst this year’s WW1 commemoration services, readers may have spotted a few references to Thankful Villages. This term was coined in the 1930s by writer Arthur Mee, who initially estimated 32 villages in England and Wales which remarkably had lost no sons in the First World War. Every man who served had returned home, though it would have been a close shave for many. Of one Yorkshire village, ‘Thirty men went from Catwick to the Great War and thirty came back, though one left an arm behind.’ By dreadful contrast, one Gloucestershire family lost five sons. Modern-day researches have identified some 50 parishes in England and Wales to which all soldiers returned. No Scottish or Irish settlement can be counted amongst the lucky few (at the time of WW1 all of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom). Generally speaking, the WW1 monument in a Thankful Village stands in gratitude for its rare good fortune. Of interest to our readership area, we can refer to only two such examples – at Butterton and Bradbourne. Respectively, 15 and 18 men left to fight and all came home again. Overall, the two World Wars claimed the lives of almost two million soldiers fighting for Britain. Incredibly, there also exists a shortlist of 13 Doubly Thankful Villages, which twice welcomed home every single one of their service personnel. None of these however lie within the Peak District.

Book Review A QUESTION OF CHOICE This is not the first publication from local author Freda Bowman. A deep interest in the history of our Derbyshire Peaks and Dales led to her coauthorship of the successful walking guides ‘Brill Walks in the Peak’. Having now retired from professional life, Freda has brought her writing into a different genre, one rooted in the history of our own corner of Derbyshire. A Question of Choice is a novel centred upon actual historical characters. Mary Ann Mason was born around 1820 into a working class family from Cromford, where livelihoods were hard-earned. Mary herself could expect nothing but a hard life, like her mother before her, until her path crosses that of Thomas Bateman, son of a wealthy family and destined to become a noted pioneer in archaeology. He is also heir to a large estate at Middleton-by-Youlgrave, though subject to the compliance of an uncompromising grandfather who holds the purse strings. Mary is already married to a kindly but illiterate husband from what might be termed her own social class, being a humble boatman on Cromford canal, but an intense relationship is set to develop between her and the unmarried Thomas after a chance encounter. In her words, ‘ … now something more exhilarating beckoned. Something dangerous and unpredictable, Intoxicating.’ After many clandestine meetings at quiet local beauty spots, Mary deserts her husband to set up home in Bakewell with her lover, though perceptive enough to realise that ‘I had traded my future safety for an exhilarating, uncertain present.’ It is her misfortune that Thomas’s considerable future inheritance creates family expectations and pressures that are set to compromise his relationship with this most unsuitable, working class young woman. This novel is the voice of Mary; it speaks of discontent, conflict, passion. And not least – of choice. A Question of Choice by Freda Bowman is published by Bannister Publications. Available through local bookshops priced £7.99 (ref. ISBN 978-1-90981309-0).
DERBYSHIRE MURDER STORIES This stocking-filler-sized paperback by David J.A. Bell is the latest publication from Bradwell Books. Amongst a grisly resurrection of solved and unsolved murders from 1758 to 1978, several took place in modern times and made national headlines. They are thus unhappily fresh in local memory. Comprising 13 stories in all, these case histories range from a grisly find in a cesspit to the tragedy of
eloping lovers murdered in the High Peak, and from the unconnected killings of a travelling conjuror, a respectable baker and a policeman to a deathly duel which questions whether one of the pistols was even loaded. Generously illustrated with black & white photographs, Derbyshire Murder Stories by David J.A. Bell is published by Bradwell Books priced £3.99 (ISBN 978-1-90991428-5). Julie Bunting

Everyone is most welcome.

The Grindleford Community Shop has been a great success following its summer opening. Based in a wonderful location with views down the Derwent, the shop has gone from strength to strength. So much so that they have invested in a brand new chiller counter – just in time for Christmas. Sarah, one of the shop managers, says, “The shop is a very well stocked ‘complete convenience shop’. We sell fresh bread baked by a fantastic local artisan baker, pies and pasties from the wonderful Critchlow’s butchers in Bakewell, daily fresh fruit and veg and dairy produce, as well as Grindleford honey. We have a great team of volunteers who also bake cakes and make jams. The summer has been wonderful for walkers and

MATLOCK PARK BOWLS CLUB REWARDED IN THE LLOYDS BANK COMMUNITY FUND
Matlock Park Bowls Club has been awarded £1000 in the Lloyds Bank Community Fund 2014 in the Chesterfield area. Following votes from members of the public, Matlock Park Bowls Club has been awarded a grant from Lloyds Bank to enable it to continue doing good work in the community. Matlock Park Bowls Club, based in Hall Leys Park Matlock, provides a local and friendly crown green bowls club that gives opportunity for social and competitive play in our fun and inclusive game for all ages. This grant will mean that we can provide a range of equipment so that experienced and new players who find it difficult to access our game can have opportunity to play at our
green and benefit from the social and physical benefits of bowling. David West, secretary of Matlock Park Bowls Club said, “The Lloyds Bank Community Fund will make a huge difference to our club. It will mean that we can provide the chance for vulnerable and disabled members of the community, both young and old, from Matlock and the Derbyshire Dales the opportunity to enjoy bowling with all of the enjoyment it can bring as well as the social and physical benefits. The Lloyds Bank Community Fund was set up to help local people across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and Isle of Man to have a positive impact at the heart of their
community by giving grants to 1,400 local good causes in 350 communities. Nearly 1.5 million votes were cast for good causes across the country during the voting that took place between 2 September and 10 October.
Over 700,000 people will be benefit either directly or indirectly from the good work the 1,400 good causes across the country will be able to deliver as a result of receiving a Community Fund 2014 award.

LONG WALK BENEFITS CHARITY MILLER’S DALE & DISTRICT W.I. Miller’s Dale and District W. I. met at Litton Village Hall on Wednesday 12th. November for their Annual Meeting.

Mike Clay and the team from Sainsbury's presenting the cheque to members of the workshop Greenaway Workshop was presented with a cheque for £550 by Sainsbury’s Matlock store. The money was raised by some of the store’s staff going on a 26-mile walk, which was part of the Limestone Way. Everyone looked tired on their return
but exhilarated to have completed such a big walk. The workshop has been chosen as Sainsbury's charity of the year, and more events will be planned to raise awareness of the charity which is now in its 33rd year.
There will be collections in store on 4th and 11th December in the foyer at Sainsburys, so stop by and watch chairs being restored by some of the staff from Greenaway Workshop. Or you could browse the bookshelf which has been set up in the cafeteria and for a small donation take

Left to right: Malcolm Roper (Premises Trustee), Maria MacDonald (Secretary Trustee) and Mike Longden (DCC) District Councillor Mike Longden visited Baslow Village Hall recently to present the Trustees with a cheque for £200 from his County Council Community Fund. The Trustees applied for a grant a few months earlier to fund a large projector screen, which could be utilised by the many community groups and organisations that use the hall, who had until now had to rely on a white wall for their presentations. After presenting the cheque, Mr Longden thanked the Trustees on behalf of the village for their work in maintaining the hall

which he felt was the hub of the community. Chairman of the Village Hall Committee Mike Woffenden assured Mr Longden that the screen would be very much appreciated by groups such as the Women’s Institute, the Garden Society and more recently, the Sports Field Trust who have been holding talks in the hall. The new screen will enhance the facilities already on offer to anyone wishing to use the hall for their event. Baslow Village Hall gained Hallmark 1 status from ACRE (a nationally recognised quality standards scheme for village halls) a year ago for its good standards and practice and Trustees are currently preparing to undergo inspection for Hallmark 2 which has so far, only been awarded to one other hall in Derbyshire. Full details of what’s on and group meetings can be found on www.baslowvillagehall.co.uk
Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle is a surprise to the unwary. It is neither small nor very solemn but is a good and very tuneful choral piece of manageable proportions and although patently operatic in its approach – which is not surprising considering the composer’s main output – a piece which is at once attractive to the audience and I think also to the choir. The Petite Messe is the product of Rossini’s old age, written in 1863-4: it was originally composed for choir and soloists accompanied by two pianos and a harmonium, although later the composer provided an orchestral version. We heard it with one piano and organ, but effectively as originally composed. It is very vivacious in style and it is full of good melodies. Rossini sets the traditional movements of the mass in an operatic way with a great deal of the text disposed around the soloists, and the choir behaving more like an operatic chorus. It’s none the worse for that but it is demanding on everyone. The four soloists came from the Royal Northern and were a well matched group with surprisingly big voices and a great deal of maturity: AnneMarie Loveday, soprano; Jessica Eccleston, mezzosoprano; Adam Smith, tenor; Matthew Kellett, baritone, all names to look out for in the future. It is invidious to single out performances in this group but I enjoyed the mezzo’s Angus Dei particularly. Andrew Kirk, well known in Bakewell, provided the organ support, but the main burden of the accompaniment on this occasion fell to the pianist Jonathan Gooing who was outstanding. This was his first appearance at one of the Society’s concerts and he was very well received. As for the choir, they approached the work in the spirit in which it was written and gave a splendid and confident account of all their various challenges. I particularly enjoyed the Gloria which is the most secular of movements, robust and joyous, but they were comfortable with some of the more reflective and tender passages later in the Mass. The programme note reminds us of a preface to the autograph score, hoping that God would not take offence at this opera buffa account of the sacred text and that he would let Rossini into Paradise. I think in Alan Eost’s immaculate account the other evening it was all in safe hands! John Tarn
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. 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. With our no obligation quote / design you might be surprised at what you can afford! 0800 731 7351.
asked to support aid for The Chernobyl families either with donations or attending the Coffee Morning at St. Ann’s in Buxton. There are also Carol Services in Buxton and 2 in Chesterfield. Judy then welcomed Ann McPhee (a Women’s Institute Adviser from Derby) to Chair The Annual Meeting.
The Financial Report was given and accepted; The Secretary’s report reminded us all of the interesting and really pleasant year we had all enjoyed. The President’s address included ‘many thanks’ to everyone for their help, participation and support. The vote for the post of President was taken and
Judy Cooper, unanimously, was voted into the post again. The meeting concluded with tea, coffee and desserts provided by The Committee plus, as always, lots of talks. The next meeting will again take place at Litton Village Hall - on December 10th. for our Christmas Party.

Matt Dickinson with students of Lady Manners School Students at Lady Manners School have been introduced to their Patron of Reading, author, film maker and explorer, Matt Dickinson. Matt, who claims the Peak District as his spiritual home having started climbing and exploring here, has been involved with Lady Manners School for a number of years. His role has now been formalised as he takes up the position of ‘Patron for Reading’. This special role enables Matt to visit the school regularly to deliver assemblies, and be involved with initiatives intended to inspire youngsters to read. The lucky students at Lady Manners School will hear more from Matt on his experiences on the slopes of Mount Everest, where he endured weeks of hardship
in temperatures of down to -70°F, in his trip to the summit. He filmed the trip, in which he nearly lost two fingers to frostbite, for National Geographic. His experiences on the mountain have inspired an action-packed trilogy for teenagers, ‘The Everest Files’. Matt, who firmly believes that books can change your life, aims to share his enthusiasm through sharing his adventures with the youngsters at the school. His broad experience also makes him well placed to provide valuable input to geography students as well as those interested in careers as writers or in the media. Nicky Hetherington, Manager of the Lady Manners School Library, said, “Matt is helping us to
inspire students throughout the school. He is encouraging them to ‘aim high’ and has got the Patron

TIDESWELL PARISH COUNCIL MEETING 10th NOVEMBER
Tideswell Parish Council met on 10th November, and welcomed new Councillors David Horne and David Caidenhead. Complimentary comments were made about the Remembrance Service and Parade. Thanks were given to all concerned who worked to make the day so successful. This was a superb team effort involving many Tideswell organisations . A special meeting had been held a fortnight earlier to discuss personnel and interviewing issues. The Council will shortly be using its new office in the Institute, which will provide access for residents to discuss matters on a regular basis. The Parish Clerk vacancy is to be re-advertised and suitable candidates interviewed. The closing date for applications is Jan 15th 2015. Councillors were dismayed that despite correspondence going to Derbyshire County Council, several Highways matters had not been acted upon. Planning applications were received which the Council commented upon favourably. Peak Park Planning Authority makes final planning decisions, and the Parish Council may submit comments, which we hope will be helpful to our community. Christmas trees have been ordered and a working party will erect the lights shortly. Sue Barber on behalf of Tideswell Parish Council

With Christmas fast approaching, what better way to get into the festive spirit than by spending an evening immersed in the wonderful, unique sounds of one of the most sought after pub choirs in the UK? On Saturday 13th December at 7.30pm, Holy Trinity Matlock Bath Church and Matlock Bath Pre-school Playgroup are delighted to be hosting what is set to be one of the most popular local events this Christmas. The Fishpond Choir, widely regarded as one of the most successful musical outfits to have emerged from Derbyshire, has become celebrated for its eclectic repertoire of world music since being
established in 2002. Led by husband and wife team Dana and Anne de Waal, who left their native South Africa to settle in Derbyshire, the 50-strong group have been delighting audiences for over a decade with their variety of material which includes folk music from around the world, light classical pieces and their own compositions. Their first love is African music and their authentic sound, together with the sheer joy with which the choir perform, endear them to audiences and critics alike. Holy Trinity Church sits at the heart of the picturesque village of Matlock Bath and has been supporting community events for many
years. Holy Trinity’s Vicar Nick Grayshon has generously agreed that the beautiful church will play host to the wonderful sounds of The Fishpond Choir for their Christmas Concert, with all proceeds going to Matlock Bath Preschool. Pre-school committee member Amy Kirkland was delighted that they had been chosen as beneficiaries of the event. “We are thrilled and very grateful to have been selected by Reverend Grayshon and The Fishpond Choir. Our Playgroup has gone from strength to strength in recent years and this event will help us to further improve the quality
of care we offer our children�. The small and friendly community-based pre-school is run by a highly qualified team with an excellent reputation and has been at the heart of the community for over 30 years. Tickets are just £6 including a glass of mulled wine (or soft drink) and a mince pie. Under 16’s free. A fantastic Christmas hamper will be the star prize in a raffle held on the night. For tickets or information call 01629 583924 or email holytrinitymatlockbath@hotmail.com or info@matlockbathpreschool.co.uk Or visit our websites: www.fishpondchoir.com www.matlockbathpreschool.co.uk www.holytrinitymatlockbath.org.uk

Residents and visitors in Hartington are being invited to see in the festive season together with activities including a Christmas Trees exhibition, Strictly Learn to Dance event, Badminton Fun Night and Bingo! This year’s programme is being organised by Hartington Community Group, following the success of last year’s inaugural festival. The festivities kick off on Saturday 13th December with a Vintage Tractor Run, the big switch-on of the village’s Christmas lights, carols, and the official opening of the Christmas Trees exhibition in the Village Hall. The trees have been kindly donated and decorated by village groups and businesses, and will be decorated to depict a Christmas Carol or Song. On Sunday 14th December there’ll be Peace and Prayer this Christmastime at St Giles Church. A Badminton Fun Night, with optional fancy dress, takes place on Monday 15th December. Christmas Bingo takes place on Tuesday 16th December and on Wednesday 17th December; people are invited to get their dancing shoes on for the festive season at a Strictly
Learn to Dance event. Carolling around the village and guest entertainment will close the week of festivities with a bang on Friday 19th December. Most events are free or carry a small charge (see below for details) – donations are greatly appreciated and all the money raised will go towards the care and upkeep of Hartington Village Hall. One of the organisers, Lesley Birch said: “We learnt many lessons with feedback from visitors and the community on last year’s events, and based on this we have developed an expansive programme which we think will be attractive and entertaining for residents and visitors alike.” Liz Broomhead MBE is also involved in arranging the events and said: “The focus is two-fold to attract visitors to the village to enjoy what we have to offer with our shops and eateries; with our beautiful church and warm welcome as well as provide a Christmas programme for the village community which is full of fun for all ages as well as keeping true to the Christmas message. “We have had a special year with commemorations of World War One and in Church we will also have some special displays based on Peace at Christmas time.”
WYE AND UPPER DERWENT GROUP OF THE DERBYSHIRE WILDLIFE TRUST
On the drizzly evening of Friday the 28th of November 2014, our first Rotary Club of Bakewell Tree of Light, commemorating the lives of loved ones, was lit in Bath Gardens. Well, strictly speaking, it came on, right on cue, went off, came on again and so on until it finally went out completely, much to the disappointment of the crowd that gathered for the event. Fortunately however we were very pleasantly entertained by Tideswell Brass Band. A fault in the electricity supply meant we had to wait until the following day to see the tree lit properly, but goodness it was worth the wait. The tree is now splendidly illuminated in Bath Gardens and will remain lit until Twelfth Night 2015. In addition to the tree, The Rotary Club of Bakewell has initiated a Book of Remembrance containing names of the lives remembered. This is on view in the entrance hall of the Town Hall and will remain there also until Twelfth Night. You can still add names to the book. Please contact Club President Roz Adamson on 01629 733626
for details. Our Club would like to thank the following local traders and organisations for their generous support in helping to set up this event and to help guarantee its continuation in future years: Byways Tearooms, Bakewell Carpets, Roger Sherwood, Hairdresser, ID Interior Designs, Diamond Court Dental Practice, Bloomers, Bakewell Town and Community Trust
Also, thank you to David Rawson, Jeremy Ward and Carl for braving the elements to put up the lights. All profits from the Tree of Light event are being donated to Action for Children – Derbyshire Young Carers. If you want to learn more about the work of our Rotary Club please look on our website www.bakewellrotary.org
STARKHOLMES W.I. NOVEMBER MEETING Mrs Heather Thomas was the speaker at the November meeting. She spoke of Rwanda, one of the poorest countries in the world. It has a population of 11 million people, but only 4% have access to clean water. The capital city is Kigala, and Rwanda is called Country of 1,000 Hills. In 2009 a trust fund was set up to provide funds to support the people of Rwanda. In 2009 Mrs Thomas, the founder, had made a journey to see the work done by Peace, Healing and Reconciliation. So far this fund has raised £80,000 and been able to build
hospitals, schools and houses. Birthday posies were presented to Mrs Gater, Mrs Roe and Mrs Rosser. Mrs Galler gave a report of the Autumn Council Meeting at the Derbyshire Cricket Ground when the speaker was Michael Portillo, broadcaster and much travelled man - by rail. The raffle was won by Mrs Smith and the competition by Mrs Dumelow, Mrs Chadbourne and Mrs Bullar. Next meeting 10th December, Christmas party 7pm at the Scouts and Guides Hut.

– NEXT TALK –
‘The Ospreys Of Rutland Water’ Birds of prey are the stars of the bird world and most people are fascinated by them. Our next talk features a bird of prey, the osprey, which is listed as a scarce migrant to Derbyshire in the latest edition of our Bird Atlas. However after hearing about the Rutland ospreys who knows what the future will bring. The talk will be given by Tim Mackrill, Senior Reserve Officer at Rutland Water Nature Reserve, Leicester and Rutland Wildlife Trust. The osprey is a medium- large pale coloured raptor and the bulk of its diet is made up of fish. Seeing an osprey catching a fish from a freshwater lake is a spectacular sight, but it is this liking for fish which got the bird into trouble with man. Decades of persecution meant that by the late 1840s the only ospreys left in the UK were in Scotland, and it was as a response to this situation that the pioneering Rutland Water Osprey Project was set up in 1996. Rutland Water is a huge reservoir in central England, a truly fitting place for ospreys to breed and the owners, Anglian Water, supported the project. The following year eight young ospreys were relocated from Scotland as the start of restoring these birds to
England after a break of 150 years. Thankfully the project was successful, with between 1997 and 2001, 64 young Scottish ospreys being relocated to the reservoir. However the really impressive fact is that a total of 87 ospreys have since fledged from nests in Rutland, including this year’s five successful nests. The Project has been so successful that ospreys are moving out of the area and perhaps one day there will be Rutland ospreys breeding in Derbyshire on one of our reservoirs. However you can be sure that Projects like this are only successful when lots of knowledge and hard work are input, so come along to our talk to hear all about it. A final comment on the subject of ospreys – please don’t make a visit to Rutland Water during the winter months to see the ospreys as they won’t be there. They make a very impressive migration mainly to Africa to spend a warm winter down south. So come along to our talk which will interest anyone from ardent ornithologists to ‘the man in the street’ on Monday 15 December at 7.30pm at Darley Dale Methodist Church Hall, Darley Dale. Admission is £2.50 and everyone is very welcome.

based at Riverside Business Park, Bakewell, make crueltyfree and environmentally friendly skin and hair products. Honesty bath and shower gels are made on site, and are wonderfully fragranced but gentle on the skin – try olive, rose, or apple and mint. There’s no shop but telephone and online orders can be collected from the premises at the business park. Wrap it Once you’ve chosen the perfect gift, you’ll want to wrap it up. A pile of beautifully wrapped presents piled up underneath the tree is a heart-warming sight. But with thousands of tonnes of wrapping paper going to landfill each year, it’s one of the biggest sources of festive waste. Recycling Christmas wrapping paper is one solution. Beware, though, of
Situated in the heart of Bakewell,
foil-coated or glittery paper, as these can’t be recycled. Neither can laminated papers (the thick, glossy, expensive kind). Try choosing 100% recycled wrapping paper. Or support your local Post Office by buying brown parcel paper, which can be made more Christmassy with paints, ink stamps or felt-tip pens – a creative activity to keep excited kids occupied. For wrapping that can be re-used rather than binned, try giving gifts in a gift bag. For the very cost-conscious, you could even buy strong, reusable supermarket bags to wrap presents in. Most supermarkets have seasonal bags printed with jolly Christmas images – and at around 10p each, they’re a very economical option. Or you can create stunning-looking gifts – and be environmentally friendly – by re-using the pages from magazines and old
road maps as gift-wrap. How about a bottle of Bordeaux wrapped in a page from a French road map? Gardening gloves wrapped in the pages of a gardening magazine? Or cookery equipment wrapped in the recipe section from the Sunday supplements? The wrapping is free – and, unlike lots of shop-bought paper, can easily be recycled! – visit www.boakart.com/wrap/W rapArt.html for more ideas. Of course, you could avoid the gift-wrap dilemma altogether by choosing presents that don’t need to be wrapped. Award-winning charity Trees for Life (www.treesforlife.org.uk) can plant trees on behalf of your loved-ones, as part of their work to restore the Caledonian Forest in Scotland. Their Plant a Tree gift card makes an affordable last minute, ecoconscious present. National Trust or English
Heritage membership allows free visits to their properties: ideal for families who like to get out and about. Many other charities, such as the RSPB, offer gift membership too. And if you’re keen to cut Christmas costs, don’t buy any gifts at all! Instead offer friends and family some of your time: perhaps an evening’s baby-sitting, cooking a meal, or offering to do a basket of ironing. This option gives true meaning to the phrase “It’s the thought that counts”, and is a gift that many will really appreciate. Penny Bunting www.littlegreenspace.org.uk Twitter @LGSpace
HOBS The last two months have been very hectic ones for the members of Hobs who had their monthly meeting in the Wheatsheaf this week. Last month we were entertained by the Darley Hillside Singers who sang a medley of songs from the shows, interspersed by monologues and clever funny statements! It was an evening of delightful entertainment and appreciated by everyone. Next on the agenda, our Christmas shopping trip to Burton on Trent which was very successful judging by the amount of shopping bags which came back to the coach, plus empty purses. Thank you to everyone who supported the outing. Our coffee morning came along next and although it was a disappointment to find another coffee morning taking place in the town hall, we soldiered on and many thanks once more to our members for their support and assistance. This month we were enthralled by Nicola, a lady from a company called Apiapola (Spanish for poppy, appropriate at this time of year). Her range of Mexican silver jewellery was absolutely exquisite and created a lot of interest amongst the ladies. Two of our members, Mr and Mrs P. Philps, celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary and were presented with a bottle of wine and a card together with many congratulations. As usual both meetings ended with bingo with a stand-in bingo caller by the name of Mrs D. Edwards - all one can say is hilarious.

Matlock Derwent Valley Lions Club took on another first time challenge to find a local young artist to enter the Lions International Peace Poster Competition. The three secondary schools in our area were invited to take part and we received entries from Anthony Gell School, Wirksworth. All their submitted paintings were judged by local world famous artist, Pollyanna Pickering, who willingly volunteered to adjudicate. The theme of the painting had to be “Peace, Love and Understanding” and Pollyanna chose the one submitted from 12-year-old Madeleine Williams-Hunter, as the winner. Pollyanna commented, “It did express the theme really well”. Maddie, as she likes to be known, had her work submitted to the District 105E Competition, which takes in Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Rutland. The judging took place last week and we are delighted to announce that she won that also. Maddie’s painting now goes forward to the Multiple District round, which covers the whole of the British Isles and Ireland. Lion President,
Kevin Senior said, “We are very grateful to Pollyanna for giving up her time, during a busy period, and wish Maddie the best of luck. We hope that she gets through the next round and maybe to the ultimate end of being presented to our Lions International Convention in Canada next year, as the overall winner world-wide”. Pollyanna visited Anthony Gell School on 3 December, to present the prizes to all the entrants, look at the other students work and to offer her expertise to the budding artists.

TIDESWELL SINGERS’ CAROL SINGING MONYASH C OF E PRIMARY SCHOOL OPEN MORNING – 11TH DECEMBER 2014
Tideswell Singers are already full of Christmas spirit. They helped create a festive atmosphere at Litton Winter Market last Friday and did the same again on Sunday in Bakewell. It will be a busy season for them as they have been invited to appear as guests with Tideswell Band Saturday 6 December in Fountain Square Church, Tideswell at 7.30 and to lead the singing at the Carol Service in Litton Church Friday 12 December at 6pm. Their main concert will be in the Parish church of St John the Baptist, Tideswell on Saturday 20 December at 7pm. They are delighted that Litton Band will be able to join them on this occasion as they celebrate ‘Christmas as it used to be…’ with something new, something traditional and something for the audience to join in. Tickets available from Tideswell Stores and Litton
Shop cost £5 and include a glass of mulled wine and mince pie. For more information please visit www.tideswellsingers.org.uk
or contact Carol Bowns 01298 213577. Tideswell Singers’ good friends the Albion choir will also be performing 20 December in
St John’s Church Buxton so although there are unfortunate clashes of dates, it shows that there is so much wonderful music to enjoy.
Youngsters from RDSSP member primary schools are celebrating after a successful but muddy, tag-rugby festival at cluster secondary school, Lady Manners in Bakewell. The competition for local feeder primary schools on Wednesday 12th November was organised by School Sport Coordinator Jayne Roach. During the event, two round-robin tournaments took place; one for eight large schools, and one for four smaller schools, involving approximately 140 primary school pupils from the area. 30 more children played noncompetitive rugby-based games meaning everyone was outside learning and enjoying the fresh air! Jayne Roach said: “This is one of our many tournaments organised to encourage participation in sport within the surrounding schools and community and to develop transitional links between the primary schools and secondary school. In both the small and large school tournaments the standard of play was very high and extremely competitive, the players ended up very muddy, but having very much enjoyed the afternoon.” The tournaments concluded with closely fought battles for the highest positions and as a result the final point totals were very close.
In the large schools tournament, with a difference of only 3 points, Curbar pupils were victorious and Longstone’s first team players were runners-up. Curbar students did especially well as they are classed as a small school but opted to enter the large schools competition and ended up winning this section. Head Teacher of Curbar Primary, Anthony Tierney said: “I am very proud of the children. The kids love a challenge. The team work and experience of performing in both a winning and a losing team, which they gain from these festivals and
tournaments, is crucial in preparing them for secondary school and for life in the future.” In the small schools tournament, Stanton-in-Peak C of E Primary School was victorious, Taddington C of E Primary and Great Hucklow C of E Primary tied as runnersup. Head Teacher at Stantonin-Peak C of E Primary, Caroline Poole said: “Many children from small primary schools don’t receive opportunities like this and so it is great to be able to play other schools and be challenged. The children love meeting youngsters from other schools whom they know from extra –curricular activities and they especially enjoy the winning aspect of such events.”
The afternoon was concluded with an awards ceremony, with participants receiving a certificate to congratulate them on their hard work and participation. Curbar Primary School will go through to represent the Lady Manners cluster at the SSP finals on Friday the 5th of December – and SSCo Jayne Roach says she and the rest of her team wish them the very best of luck. Lady Manners School Sport Leaders, Emily Dale and Emily Stefan, who helped to organise the event, and collated the information and photograph for this report said: “Many of the children said that they really enjoyed the day and couldn’t wait to come back and play in another festival hosted by Lady Manners.”

We invite you to Eyam’s own interpretation of the Sleeping Beauty story with all the usual suspects but a twist in the tale! Our Sleeping Beauty may not sleep for a hundred years since her hard working Fairy Godmothers are busy visiting other pantomimes to try and find a handsome prince. Will they find him in time or will the evil spell of Fairy Wednesday triumph? You’ll have to see it to find out. Starring no less than two dames, a team of gormless guys – the Dopes – appointed to protect Princess Esmerelda; not to mention our talented tinies who are playing dancers, maids and dwarfs, this is a pantomime not to be missed. Tickets will be on sale from 1st December from George May 01433 630599.
During Spring 2014 the long established and highly regarded Bakewell Choral Society recruited over 30 new singers to join them for a performance of Carmina Burana. This was an outstanding success, and we are now actively recruiting new members to come and sing Bach’s St John Passion on Saturday, 14 March at Lady Manners School, Shutts Lane, Bakewell. The St John Passion is a sacred oratorio composed by Johann Sebastian Bach for the Good Friday Vespers service of 1724. It is a dramatic representation of the Passion as told in the Gospel of John, constructed of dramatically presented recitatives and choruses, with commentary in reflective chorales and arias, framed by opening and final choruses, leading

When she heard about Derbyshire Trusted Befriending Network’s Art Competition, Ellen Adley was sure she had a winning idea. The competition invited entries in any medium and encouraged participants to be “imaginative”. So Ellen decided she would knit a befriending service user – and her cat, dog, budgie and the entire contents of her character’s living room! Ellen is a member of telephone befriending service Careline in Hathersage. The Careline volunteers make regular phone calls to local people who are isolated for any reason, to have a friendly chat and make sure all is well. Ellen submitted her artwork with an original poem, ‘Sounds of My Day’ describing the difference that the service makes to her. She describes the Careline service as “lovely people – a lifeline, not just to me but to other people as well”. The daughter of a shoemaker, Ellen grew up in London. She is very proud of the 4 years she spent in the RTS and Royal Artillery, working on radar. She married Len, a funeral director, who sadly died when their children were in their teens.

2014 until 4 January 2015. From short festive strolls passing carol singers and Christmas markets to heartier rambles to walk off the mince pies and kick-start new year’s resolutions, there’s something for everyone in the East Midlands to enjoy. The Festival of Winter Walks also caters for anyone preferring to step out at their own leisure. People can download a walk from Ramblers Routes, an online library of Britain’s best walks, and head out for their own winter wander with family and friends. There are hundreds of routes throughout Great Britain for everyone to enjoy, and hundreds more for Ramblers members. Ramblers chief executive Benedict Southworth said: “Walking is great at any time of the year, we’re spoiled by our dramatic coastlines, rolling hills and stunning views, but there’s nothing quite like wrapping up warm and heading out with family and friends to explore Britain at its wintry best. “Our walks during the festival are free, fun and
open to everyone, so put on your hat and scarf and join us as we head out into the crisp, clear winter to enjoy the season the way we know best, on our feet.” Walking for Health, England’s largest network of health walk schemes, run by the Ramblers and Macmillan Cancer Support, will also be leading short, free walks across England during the festival. Step out with the Ramblers on the following free winter wander in our area. New Year’s Eve walk Date: Wednesday 31 December 2014 Start time: 10am Distance: 11 miles Description: Join the Derbyshire Dales Ramblers for this winter walk around Bonsall, Wensley and Winster.

HOPE VALLEY COLLEGE SET TO BECOME A CYCLING HUB IN RURAL DERBYSHIRE Following the success of Rural Derbyshire School Sport Partnership member schools in the new cyclocross competition at this summer’s Derbyshire School Games, Hope Valley College – one of the five secondary schools in the Rural Derbyshire School Sport Partnership - is set to become a key hub for cycling in rural Derbyshire with a new programme of British Cycling supported coaching sessions for the students and local community. Assistant Principal Richard Beeden, said, “We have been identified by British Cycling as a hotbed for cycling development. We’ll be an affiliated club which will mean primary school children in the area as well as local adults will benefit from regular 6 week blocks of coaching.” Hope Valley College’s Bike Club has been running for four years. The school boasts a 500m bike track and a fleet of 10 mountain bikes, and a new Pump Track is near completion. In September hundreds of riders took part in the 14th edition of the annual Hope Valley Mountain Bike Challenge charity ride, organized by the school’s
Parent Teachers and Friends Association to raise money for the school and local mountain rescue teams. Each week Mountain Bike coach Ian Pollard spends Wednesdays working with groups of students, and each month on Saturday mornings Richard Beeden organises a bike club for primary school children in the Hope Valley. Mr Beeden added, “Our success at the School
Games was a big reward for our investment with the children. The children really enjoyed the competitive aspect. We had to pick a team of 6 from 15 to 20 who wanted to go but they understand their strengths and weaknesses. Like any sport, some are better than others but the PE Department have really embraced cycling. “Cycling is part of PE lessons – just like football or rugby - and for the last
four years at Sports Day we’ve had a cyclo-pursuit event. “Community links are very important. Hope Valley is a community college so we already have a lot of resources on site that local people use, like the library, and there are often adult classes at the same times as the student lessons so cycling is simply an extension of that. For example, the new pump track will be available for community use.”

DAFT SAMMY OF CASTLETON There’s no other word quite to match ‘daft’, though the dictionary definition hardly does it justice, giving no hint of the tolerant affection it often conveys. We are told that it means ‘foolish, reckless, wild or crazy’ but Daft Sammy of Castleton was none of these, in fact he was not so daft at all. Mr Samuel Eyre, for that was his proper name, was odd, eccentric, and certainly canny. His name has passed into history on account of his reputation as a self-appointed if over-enthusiastic guide to Castleton, especially the caverns. Whether you arrived from north, south, east or west, you were sure to be waylaid by Daft Sammy, sometimes when least expected, then you would be allowed the freedom of the town only after handing over a few coppers. Seemingly too simple a soul to be dealt with harshly, he would appear whether you arrived on foot, horseback or carriage. He was invariably on hand as stagecoach passengers alighted to take a walk below Mam Tor. If you did want a guide, nobody knew Castleton better than Sammy; he could point out the best viewpoints and the safest paths and relate every tale that was ever told about the place. He was adept at fastening on to visitors and especially enjoyed escorting parties of ladies, entertaining them with anecdotes while helping them over stone walls, carrying them across rough ground, lending his arm on the steep slopes. For the more independent lady tourist, such gallantry was regarded as something of a nuisance but Daft Sammy was never one to take a hint. Sammy was unmarried and lived with his mother, who kept herself by begging. They had something of a double act, with the raggedly dressed old woman pathetically hanging around behind Sammy and his captive party. If asked who
she was, he would summon up a sympathetic air and say that she was just some poor old woman, adding kindly, ‘Gie her a sixpence’. Sammy always held on tightly to his own takings, even sleeping (in a sack) with his coins in his hands. Only once had he ever been known to lend money, helping out Mr Tym at the Blue John Mine with ten shillings’ worth of change. Then he kept Mr Tym firmly in view until being offered repayment with a gold half-sovereign. Sammy, however, was furious, refusing to accept just one coin in return for all those pieces of borrowed silver. Often teased with questions to make him look silly, he was probably laughing up his sleeve all the time, for occasionally he would air this enlightening rhyme:

‘Well, well, say no more, Sure you told me before, I see the full length of my tether; Do you think I’m a fool That I need go to school? I can spell you and put you together. A word to the wise Will always suffice; Adsniggers! Go talk to your parrot. I’m not such an elf, Though I say it myself, But I know a sheep’s head from a carrot.’ Sammy must have fallen on hard times, for he died at Chapel en le Frith workhouse. A monument to his memory was erected in Castleton churchyard: ‘Sacred to the memory of Samuel Eyre, known by the name of Sammy Scutt, or Daft Sammy … died January 30th 1868, aged 62 years … This stone has been erected by the proceeds of a concert held in Castleton for that purpose to mark the last resting place of Poor Sammy.’ Julie Bunting

coordinator Ruth Taylor. External funding has secured Ruth’s job with Derbyshire Dales District Council - and she’s looking forward to expanding cycling opportunities as well as supporting the wider Peak District Cycling Strategy to further improve the local trails network. Ruth worked previously in the world of rock climbing and mountaineering, including a stint at the National Mountain Centre, having become heavily involved in cycling as a very keen rider and bike racer on both road and track. She is keen to transfer her skills to a new area and encourage more people to get started on two – or three - wheels. She said: "There’s no doubt that a cycling boom is happening across the country. Here in the Derbyshire Dales, the District Council already runs excellent cycling schemes weekly on some of our stunning trails, and I want to build on this while also working closely with children and young people to develop cycling as a fundamental life skill. "In this beautiful part of the world, it’s a delight to be invited to play a part in promoting family cycling activities, cycling for adults, improving pathways into local cycling clubs and supporting cycling for tourism benefit." Ruth will be working two days every week with the District Council and a further day with the Rural Derbyshire School Sports Partnership and is contactable by email at ruth.taylor@derbyshiredale s.gov.uk or call 01629 761387. More information about the District Council’s cycling activities – including weekly led morning cycling rides from Hassop Station on Mondays and Wednesdays and at Carsington Water on Thursdays - is available online at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk /cycling

MATLOCK ROTARY HELP AQUABOX TO PROVIDECLEANWATERIN DISASTER AREAS
For the last twenty years, Aquabox, locally based in Wirksworth has been sending boxes with emergency supplies and water purification filters to countries affected by natural disasters and areas of conflict. Set up by the Rotary Club of Wirksworth and run by Rotarians and volunteers, Aquabox is supported by gifts and donations from the general public and Rotary Clubs throughout the UK. On Friday 21st November, Matlock Rotary Past Presidents Paul Fryer and Albert Ripamonti had the pleasure of presenting a cheque for £500.00 to Aquabox. Chair of Trustees, Mike Tomlinson, when receiving the cheque thanked Matlock Rotary for their continued support over the years and said that in the last twelve months over 4500 boxes had been sent to areas of conflict and natural disasters throughout the world. Almost 3000 boxes have been sent to countries sheltering refugees from the conflict in Syria. The remaining boxes have been dispatched to other countries where clean water is desperately needed. Sierra Leone, the Philippines, Nepal, Cameroon, Eritrea and others have all been hit by natural disasters such as earthquakes, flooding and of course the tragedy of the Ebola virus in West Africa. For up to date information and direct donations visit www.Aquabox.org During the visit, Past President Paul Fryer tried his hand at the delicate job of assembling the water purification pump. Commenting afterwards he complimented the fantastic work of the numerous volunteers who give up their time to pack the boxes. In addition to the water purification filter, over 70 items of humanitarian aid are

The Matlock Forum Club
At the meeting held on Tuesday 25 November 2014 Mr. Roger Hartley gave an illustrated talk entitled “The English Tops”. The “Tops” in question are the highest points of the 39 Historic Counties. These counties were those that existed before the redrawing of county boundaries in 1974. Many of the former names of the counties still remain familiar to older people. Mr. Hartley, a former geography teacher, and his wife, devised a retirement project to visit the highest points of 39 English counties ranging from Cornwall to Northumberland and to build up a photographic record of their visits by taking pictures of Trig Points (small pillars used in surveying as
reference points and height indicators), as well as the cairns of stones built up over the years by intrepid visitors to mark their achievements. The pictures also showed the scenery around each Trig Point. The heights ranged from 3209 feet at Scafell Pike (Cumberland) and 203 feet at Boring Field (a happy coincidence?) in Huntingdonshire. The audience appreciated the tenacity shown by Mr. and Mrs. Hartley in pursuing the project which was clearly rewarded by the pleasure and knowledge which they obviously derived from it. More details of the programme and activities of the Club can be found at its web site :wwwmatlockforumclub.co.uk

SHIVERING MOUNTAIN New ploughed earth, like wrinkled velvet, raging clouds in turmoil, on sweeping - quickly pass. Fluorescent milky moonlight, casting shadows o’er the grass, creates the waves and ripples of a tormented sea, Whilst high and dark and lonely, head back aloof and proud A sentinel of ages looks down the green brown shroud, And mourns the passing of the years of man’s progressive march, He cries his tears, he shakes with fear, his shaking brings the fall of his own assembly. He bitterly recalls the soft and carefree days of fond caress and kindly ways, Of horse drawn carts and handsome cars, of Bakewell puds and current slabs. Of tea from handmade earthenware, the laughter, the love, the picnics there And sees again the ‘tidy’ baskets, then see it now everlasting plastic. Ron Elliott ~ Winster
Unique documents about the First World War in Derbyshire are being put online for the first time. Derbyshire County Council is digitising the documents to commemorate the centenary of the conflict. The council’s Derbyshire Record Office, based in Matlock, holds a wealth of First World War material including local recruitment posters, photographs, soldiers’ letters and diaries. Derbyshire County Council Deputy Cabinet Member for Health and Communities Councillor Ellie Wilcox said: “The First World War was a pivotal moment in history. It shattered local communities but the material uncovered in our Record Office tells stories of humour as well as tragedy. “Although visitors can visit our Record Office to see this material, people all over the country and the world may have First World War connections with Derbyshire so we wanted to reach a much wider audience by making it accessible online.” Images are being made available through the Record Office’s online catalogue which has recently been improved and upgraded.

INTERESTED IN YOUR FAMILY TREE?
Family history was not the only subject covered by Paul Beattie from the new Derbyshire Record and Local Studies Office when he came to speak to Bakewell and District Historical Society. Archivist Paul showed slides of the recently refurbished office in New Street, Matlock. He and his colleagues are justly proud of the improvements to the facilities. He explained the resources and services on offer, from shelves of books to the latest
technological equipment. Every kind of historical photograph and document can be accessed to help you with whatever project you might be working on. Specially trained colleagues work on conservation of books and papers. The office also houses treasured artefacts which are available to view. We were reminded of the oldest recipe for Bakewell Pudding, dated 1837, which the Records Office lent to the Bakewell Old House Museum

A warm welcome and atmosphere awaits you
Lucky residents of Stoney Middleton have a brand new Indian restaurant on their doorstep called Curry Cottage which is at the historical Lovers' Leap where, in 1762, Hannah Baddeley is reputed to have jumped off the cliffs above. It's the brainchild of Imtiaz (Jimmy) and two brothers, Wasim and Nadeem. With the help of an interior designer the restaurant has been totally refurbished to a very high standard indeed. Nadeem invited the Peak Advertiser to see this transformation and to taste their cuisine. Entering the building you immediately feel at home, the combination of traditional and contemporary design is set off by the colours of teal, green and magenta. The wall seating is highlighted by ambient lighting and each table has pure white tablecloths and matching napkins with fresh flowers and a candle. The waiters were smartly dressed in black shirt and tie
and it was clear to see that everything possible had been done to give you an experience you will want more of! The food certainly did not disappoint either, so after deliberating over the menu our choice was the usual poppadoms and pickle tray (plenty for two). For starters we had the most succulent Chicken Chaat and a Masala Fish. Absolutely beautiful! Our mains consisted of a Machlee Aloo (fresh cod cooked with baby potatoes, onions, tomatoes, garlic and special mixed spices), and the aptly named 'Stoney Special', in their words: 'the ultimate dish', incorporating chicken, lamb and king prawns cooked in a medium sauce using special Kashmiri spices - both stunningly tasteful. We added, for a change, a couple of vegetable side dishes instead of the usual rice along with our favourite, Peshwari Nan. From the warm welcome, comfortable seating and the beautiful decor the night was a complete success and
MATLOCK AND DISTRICT HARD OF HEARING CLUB
During the mystery tour on 20th October, we travelled through the Derbyshire countryside to Fairholmes Visitor Centre at Derwent Dam. After a short comfort stop, off we went through Hope, Castleton and then with twists and turns finally to Beeley Village Hall for a delicious tea, prepared by the ladies of the W.I. They had also organised a free raffle for us, which was won by our coach driver! At the November meeting we were shown a film entitled 'Threads of Hope' by Nick Roberts. Nick had been at school with a friend called Bill, who went on to do voluntary service in Persia, and eventually after being ordained a deacon, he became a missionary in South America. 17 years ago he moved to Peru, 6350 miles from U.K. Lima, the capital, is a half-million square miles and has a population of 30 million people. 54% of them are below the poverty line. Although Lima has been a Unesco World Heritage site since 1991, 1 million people live in 'shanty towns'. These have no electricity, sewage
disposal or piped water. The missions help people to help themselves. They provide health centres and mobile medical campaigns. They also help with education, housing, food cultivation, nutrition, homes and employment. The film showed the ladies doing 'Arpillera' - hand sewn applique of various items such as Christmas trees and their decorations, hats, waistcoats and animals. These are in bright colours and most skillfully done. The film showed Bishop Alistair of Derby wearing a colourful stole over his vestments, which was made by the ladies of the remote village at the San Felipe mission. Many of these crafts were on display and could be purchased, together with some colourful cards. Roland thanked Nick, who was accompanied by his wife Chris, for a very interesting talk. The raffle was drawn while tea and biscuits were served by the committee members. The next meeting will be Christmas Lunch at the Knockerdown Inn, Carsington.
was well worth the visit, which won't be our last! For a more intimate dining experience for up to 6 people you can book The
Cave, a secluded part of the restaurant which is cut into the rock face and has cool blue mood lighting. Why not book the Curry Cottage for your party? It can seat up to 42 diners and you’d have the restaurant and their attention all to yourselves! Like many restaurants these days they have adopted a 'no alcohol' policy, but it doesn't need to spoil your night. You can take your own drinks and they will serve you, no problem, and without a corkage charge. Imtiaz, Wasim, Nadeem and their team have only been open a few weeks but have already tasted success by the amount of people dining there and we can see them being around for a long, long time. The Curry Cottage is definitely one for your diary!
LUNCHTIME AT SCHOOL!! “What’s for lunch” I heard a child cry “Fish fingers and chips” I replied “Baked beans for all and salad for some and if you’re lucky- a lovely chocolate bun!” “Now sit down children let’s be polite Red group you sit here-yes that’s right” Table manners have to be taught “Sit still children, use your knife and fork! I would like you all to eat your veg You are doing very well it must be said!” “Harry sit still, Royan sit up! What’s that Amy? Victor’s kicking your foot? David you have dinner all down your clothes! James please go out and blow your nose! Mrs Hanley wants this room leaving spick and spam Who is doing the benches? Where is that brush and pan? Out in the playground and onto the yard “Samuel don’t kick that ball so hard! Oscar come here! Thomas sit there! Sam stop pulling your sister’s hair!” “Children calm down you’re all a bit wild Thomas get up! You’re hurting that child! Don’t push each other off the boat! Take that rope from around your throat!! Callum come off the wall, Max out of the tree I’m not surprised you’ve hurt your knee! “Di blow the whistle I think I’m going mad!” Lunchtime is over...phew I’m glad!!! Jeanne Mycock from Litton has just retired along with her colleague Di as a mid-day supervisor from Litton C of E Primary School after 25 years of working there. She has penned this poem about lunchtimes at Litton School to share with readers.

Nicola Pepper, a Street Pastor. She spoke of the work in making the street
safer for residents, and in particular giving young people a chance to engage with adults who would be non-judgemental. When young people indulge in drink and drugs, they become so incapacitated that they place themselves in serious danger. The street pastors help by supplying water to drink, flip-flops to wear when they walk barefoot, and a listening ear to those who need it. Members were
impressed by the pastors’ dedication. They frequently work from 10pm to 4am in some of the most difficult areas of towns. Nicola works in Chesterfield on Friday nights meeting young children and on Saturday nights young people who have drink and social problems. Members will take part in a candle-lit vigil, at Turner’s Memorial, Buxton, before their next business meeting. This is in support of victims of domestic abuse.

ROYAL BRITISH LEGION CHRISTMAS FOOTBALL MATCH Most people are aware of the famous Christmas Day football match, held one hundred years ago near Ypres, between the Germans and British armies, following a brief cease fire, agreed on Christmas Eve, which lasted through to Boxing Day. During this time both sides recovered and buried their dead comrades, shook hands with the opposing side, sang carols and exchanged cigarettes before playing football. As a symbolic tribute to those men, the Buxton Branch of the Royal British Legion will be recreating that football match at 11.00am on Christmas Day, at Temple Fields (Green Lane entrance). This is by kind permission of the Head Teacher of Buxton Community School. A team of (RBL) Legion veterans (average age 70+), will play a team made up from any spectators present, the game is only expected to last for about 15 minutes. Proceedings will commence with the singing of two carols:- “Silent night”, and “O come all ye faithful” as were sung 100 years ago. Burbage Band (whose predecessors joined the Army as a group and became a Military Band in the Cheshire Regiment) will be out playing Christmas carols and it is hoped that their busy schedule will allow them to attend at 11.00am to provide the music. There will then be a brief kickabout. We hope members of the public will attend and take part (no football kit please). In this brief act of commemoration to those men, not only was this their last taste of “peace”, it was their last Christmas alive. All were destined to soon die.

THE SOLUTION TO CHRISTMAS CAROL FATIGUE?
Christmas is coming, with festive music greeting us at every turn – but, with the season seemingly starting earlier every year, how many of us are already secretly a bit fed up of hearing the same old carols played on repeat? One local musician thinks he has hit upon a solution. Fraser Wilson, who runs the choral group Albion, says: “Christmas carols are timeless and really make the season, but they can get a bit samey year after year.” Through the choir that he established in the region two years ago, Fraser is popularising a new style of carol-singing. He takes carols that are already well loved and familiar, but creates new versions of them to be sung by Albion’s twelve unaccompanied voices. They give performances around the region, most recently in Tideswell, Buxton, and Sheffield. Fraser, a busy composer now based in the Peaks, explains: “I call the process reimagining, because I aim to preserve the essence of the carol, even though I am creating new harmonies and a new texture around it.” He usually begins by playing or singing through the carol

Community Carol service Thursday 25th
10am Family Eucharist
twenty or thirty times until he knows it intimately. He then experiments with harmonies and ideas at the piano “until the solution comes into my head, and the music is often fully formed before I begin to write it down.” Then the choir gets to work: an unusual group, they sing without a conductor and do not use sheet music, so every singer has to memorise it before they can begin to perform. Two Christmasses ago, the group released their first CD, ‘Salutation’, a compilation of Fraser’s new carol arrangements. They were delighted with the positive reaction of listeners across the world. Copies were bought by music-lovers in Australia, Germany, and the USA as well as the UK. Fraser says he especially enjoyed “having so many people telling us that
they loved hearing old carols in our new clothing.” They decided to make the record free to listen to online; customers only pay if they wish to download the songs or buy a CD version. This Christmas, the singers have high hopes for the new versions of classics Ding dong! Merrily on High and Away in a Manger that they are preparing to perform the weekend before Christmas at St John’s Church, Buxton. “We hope that these new carols will continue to travel the globe and, in a small but interesting way, that they’ll put our corner of the world on the map for contributing something new to Christmas.” Albion’s Buxton 2014 Christmas performance takes place on Saturday 20 December, 7.30pm at St John’s Church.

To establish a minimum ethical standard of accreditation certifications for imported goods with the World Trade Organisation. Says Phil Wildbore, owner and designer: “To make sure the thousands of
people who lost their lives or were maimed producing clothing for the western world have not done so in vain. Their lives need to make a difference. Join the ‘Stop taking the P’ campaign and wipe out the 21st century slavery’’.

contains two circular walled enclosures constructed to celebrate the Golden and Diamond Jubilees of Queen Victoria. A tree was planted in each enclosure but the site became overgrown and was refurbished in 1999 as part of the village’s millennium celebrations. From here a fabulous elevated footpath leads along a ridge known as The Tors. Beneath runs a tunnel which was constructed in 1841 to carry George Stephenson’s tramway, used to transport limestone from Cliff Quarry to Ambergate. A surviving section of line is now part of the tramway village. In 1837 George Stephenson started work on the Clay Cross tunnel a few miles to the north and then set up the collieries, coking plant and ironworks of the Clay Cross Company. However, the railway through Crich linked quarries to the kilns at Ambergate and Bullbridge and at the time of its construction was a major feat of engineering. It was used for 116 years before being closed in 1957. The view from up there was spectacular and allowed me to see for miles across the Derwent Valley and away to South Derbyshire. Behind me Crich Stand was sitting atop a cliff on a hill which is of geological interest, possibly a result of volcanic action. A stratum of limestone was forced up through the top layer of gritstone into a dome, whilst below the limestone is a bed of ancient lava. In 1882 it is said that a great landslip occurred which altered the brow of the hill and carried away the road, burying several houses in the process. Certainly as I looked around me, it looked

With the memory of Remembrance Day still in my thoughts, I opted for a walk around Crich, starting at Crich Stand, an iconic landmark some 1000 feet above sea level, but first and foremost a Regimental Memorial to the Sherwood Foresters and of the Worcestershire & Sherwood Foresters Regiment. (The pristinely maintained site is closed to vehicles on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and the Stand is not open in poor weather conditions). It was a glorious sunny day and before setting off I spent several minutes scanning the far horizon, eventually locating both Bolsover Castle and Hardwick Hall in the distance. Having walked down the drive to Town End I passed the entrance to Crich Tramway Village and the imposing facade of the Old Assembly Rooms of 1765 which used to be located in the market place in Derby before a devastating fire in 1963. From the front it looks like a brilliant job was made in reconstructing the building until you see from the side that it’s nothing more than an impressive wall! A few strides down the road and I crossed over to follow a bridlepath taking me to Coasthill – is it called this because you can see the sea from here? Probably not, but you have to admit it is one heck of a view! Dropping down towards the centre of Crich I noticed an intriguing footpath leading beneath a substantial archway and couldn’t resist exploring this little snicket before crossing the football pitch and finding myself at the market place where a naked Christmas tree was waiting to be dressed. Alongside it was a row of old drinking toughs that once provided water for passing packhorses and ponies. Heading up Sandy Lane I came to The Jubilee which
Fritchley was famous for making quality stockings as a cottage industry. Henry Sulley, who died in the village in 1886, was a famous stockinger and is said to have made a pair of cashmere stockings for Queen Victoria that were so fine they could pass through her wedding ring. Instead of going down Bobbin Mill Hill to the bottom of the Dimple Valley, I turned at the Old Friend’s Meeting House of 1897 onto a bridleway, and I’m really glad that I chose this route because it eventually took me to fields and a bridge over the remains of the old railway line to Bullbridge that I mentioned earlier. This section of line led from Hilts Quarry and Warner Quarry. Arriving at Mill Green I walked back to Crich up Dimple Lane, passing The Hat Factory where straw bonnets were made at the start of the 19th century. The factory is now converted into a row of cottages with ‘Top Hat’ in the middle. A bit further up the hill I saw Incline Cottage, a reminder that in the early days the early railway engines had to be hauled up the hill by ropes. Arriving back in the Market Place I now wandered up past the Black

like a landscape of gritstone with the limestone cliff rising up like a striped iceberg. On meeting a quiet lane I turned left and followed a road through the quaintly titled Chadwick Nick, reputedly named after a certain Colonel Chadwick who was a parliamentary solder in the Civil War and instructed his men to cut a way through the hill whilst waiting to attack nearby Wingfield Manor. I was now on route to Fritchley where I had not walked before. On the way down the hill I came across a security hut and entrance to a site where Severn Trent are working on a 4year project to replace the Ambergate Service reservoir at a cost of £43m. Built over 100 years ago, the present reservoir is one of the largest covered reservoirs in Europe and provides drinking water to 600,000 homes. However it needs to be replaced and the scheme involves the

Turning left a little further down the lane I followed a fingerpost for The Common and followed a narrow path beside houses before crossing the main road and descending to the heart of Fritchley village, passing down Mutton Row, so named because it used to lead past the Shoulder of Mutton Inn that could be found here.

Swan to the top of Bowns Hill where the old cross, which was once the setting for annual fairs held centuries ago, now serves as a traffic island at the road junction. I returned to Crich Stand by passing the Church dedicated to St Mary which sits majestically on the brow of the hill, its 14th century spire pointing to the heavens.
