WALKING FOOTBALL COMES TO BAKEWELL Walking Football is exactly as the name suggests - you play football, walking!

Aimed at people over 50, this inclusive, fun and sociable version of the game is slow-paced but lacks none of the passion of the original game.

Whether you’re looking to keep active, stay fit, or widen your circle of friends, Walking Football offers the perfect opportunity to do just that, as there are many social health

benefits that come with playing.

Taking time to socialise, meet new people or even build confidence are all part and parcel of taking part in this slower version of the beautiful game.

The game originally started in Chesterfield,10 years ago, was popularised by the Barclays bank advert and currently has over 800 clubs nationwide.

And soon there will be a session in Bakewell.

Starting on 8th January at the new Lady Manners all weather pitch, the sessions, under the auspices of Derbyshire FA, are being organized by Peak Trinity Church as part of their community outreach and will take place on Wednesday evenings from 7pm to 8pm.

For further details on the sessions(or the church) contact David Moss on 07767 407743 or david.peaktrinity@yahoo.com Op en eve ry day

Book Review

The Secret Barrister – Stories of the Law and How It’s Broken by The Secret Barrister The days when everyone believed that the legal system in this country served the needs of criminal justice, seem to be fast vanishing.

Are the scales of justice maybe a bit wonky? Could it be that the good guys don’t always win and the bad guys don’t always get their just desserts?

If you’ve had suspicions that all is not well in the land of m’lud and the other servants of law and order, you’ll find The Secret Barrister – Stories of the Law and How It’s Broken; by author The Secret Barrister a brilliant non-fiction read.

The Secret Barrister is a real-life junior barrister who specialises in criminal law in this country and has written for various national newspapers and magazines. He peels away the images we’ve learned from films, TV and newspapers and dishes the dirt on how cases are really won and lost and how the law often fails those it is supposed to be protecting.

Through his human stories we hear sometimes heart-rending, but also some horribly funny tales of what increasingly starts to look like a game of legal Russian roulette. This is biting stuff, showing a system going wrong, but it’s also sensitive to the tragedies which may be played out in courts of law and which may impact on people’s lives for ever.

It’s certainly an eye opener and tough in places. But it’s well written and cogently argued and if enough people read it, it may change public perceptions enough to help push the reform which is evidently urgently needed.

The Age of the Megalith Builders We pick up our ancient Derbyshire ancestors where we left them, that is around 6,000 years ago, an age known as the Neolithic.

Separated from the rest of the European continent, our ancestors began to move away from a hunter gatherer society (one where they roamed at will) and instead we begin to see the very beginnings of agriculture and settled communities of people.

about 45m from the centre of the circle.

In 2011 archaeologist discovered a Neolithic village near Wirksworth. Bits of pottery and stone tools were uncovered, plus what look like post holes – perhaps for supporting dwelling structures. Also found were traces of ancient grains and burnt pieces of hazelnut shell.

Arbor Low Stone Circle just off the A515 is probably the best-known stone circle in Derbyshire. Unlike all the others, which are of millstone grit, it is constructed of limestone. There are 30 or so collapsed blocks which are thought to have stood in an egg-shaped inner ring 37m by 41m.

They are surrounded by a bank and ditch.

At the time this village was established, Derbyshire, along with much of the UK was heavily wooded. Farming was not on the scale we know today but based around rather small plots, just enough to keep a family or small group self-sufficient.

They perhaps had cattle and probably still hunted for much of their meat.

Around this period we begin to see evidence of megalithic (literally ‘large stone’) monuments appearing in the landscape.

We will never know if settlements arose because of the need to stay in one place to build; or if the megalithic structures came first encouraging settling in an area.

Whatever the reason, not to mention how they were built, Derbyshire is unusually blessed with megalithic circles and standing stones.

The best-known circles are probably Nine Ladies Stone Circle, on Stanton Moor: approx. 10m in diameter, each stone is less than 1m tall and there is a single outlying block of millstone grit

Nine Stones Close Stone Circle (also known as the Grey Ladies) on Harthill moor, north of Elton: this has the tallest stones of any of the Derbyshire circles, ranging from 1.2m to 2.1m but only 4 stones remain of what once was 45.

Barbrook I on Big Moor just off the A621, is a small ring of 12 stones, the tallest of which marks the position of the mid-winter sun.

Another smaller circle is nearby.

Hordron Seven Stones circle on Moscar Moor off the main A 57 near the Lady Bower dam, has around 20 stones only 10 of which remain upright.

There are many other megalithic constructions in Derbyshire. Without the aid of a time machine we will probably never know why our ancient ancestors built (and presumably) maintained these structures, but if you want to take a peek at some of them look at this website http://www.stonecircles.org.uk/stone/ Next month we will explore the Bronze Age – approx. 2000 to 500 BC. These articles are researched and written by Laura Billingham, a local content writer and author. Laura moved the Peak District several years ago to pursue her passion for writing.

A Will is not enough: Why you should make your LASTING POWERS OF ATTORNEY now…

Hopefully we all know the importance of making a suitable Will… it shows you care enough about what happens to your assets once you’ve died. But… shouldn’t you care just as much about keeping your assets and yourself safe while you are alive? If you are unable to manage your own affairs… a Will is not enough. The legal documents you need in place are called “Lasting Powers of Attorney”. They allow the people YOU choose now rather than someone appointed by the Court of Protection to deal with decisions in two key areas: your Property/Financial affairs and your Health/Welfare matters.

There may come a time in your life when you are unable to manage your financial affairs or personal welfare, owing to some form of incapacity and you will need someone to act on your behalf. Even when we are young, we can find ourselves incapacitated owing to illness or injury and it can be invaluable having a trusted, reliable person who is able to manage your personal affairs and remove the anxiety of having unpaid bills, at a time when you most need peace of mind.

Similarly, as we get older, the need for attorneys increases as we are more prone to illness and injuries. Sadly, sometimes people fall into the trap of thinking “I’ll get something sorted when I start feeling a bit iffy”… but an unexpected stroke, accident or illness can take anyone by surprise, regardless of their age or health.

Only by creating Lasting Powers of Attorney now ensures that if the worst were to happen, you can rest assured that both your financial affairs and personal welfare are in safe hands.

It’s vital to understand that you cannot make a Lasting Power of Attorney once you’ve lost capacity – by then its too late and your family will face a lengthy and expensive court process to be able to deal with your affairs.

•

Loss of mobility or illness can make it difficult to manage your affairs.

•

The prospect of unpaid bills can cause unnecessary stress and anxiety and delay someone’s recovery.

•

Even the young can encounter problems due to accident or illness.

•

Minor children could be taken into Care whilst Guardians are appointed.

•

An elderly relative losing capacity is difficult enough for loved ones to deal with, without the added worry that finances are becoming muddled.

•

This is information was provided by Haworth WardDrummond, owner of Egg & Nest Ltd. , a provider of professional estate planning services in accordance with the STEP Code of Conduct.

It’s not too late to make a Will...

Hello, I’m Haworth Ward-Drummond, your local Estate Planning Consultant of 13 years experience. I am an expert in helping people arrange their Wills, Trusts, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Pre-paid Funeral Plans.

Along with my colleague Jane Bowland we specialise in helping all kinds of people gain peace of mind by providing professional advice, but with a personal touch.

We offer a FREE consultation without obligation for anybody who would like to know more about any of the following:

Making a basic Will Setting up Lasting Powers of Attorney

Using Trusts to protect their assets Pre-paid Funeral Plans

Protecting your home for future generations We know that planning for the future is a very personal matter. Not everyone is able or wants to travel to an appointment in town to sort out their affairs. We can visit you at a convenient time in the privacy and comfort of your own home to discuss your unique circumstances.

A visit and consultation is completely free and you are under no obligation to do anything. If you decide to make any arrangements you can be safe in the knowledge that all our professional services and work are fully insured and we are members of the Society of Will Writers, so all our clients are assured of the highest standards of conduct at all times.

All our clients (and their families) that we have helped in the past have been very happy with our services and tell us they have gained great peace of mind knowing that they have sorted everything out.

FAST AND RELIABLE INTERNET COMES TO HOPE VALLEY What is Gigabit Peak District?

Gigabit Peak District is a project to deliver fast and reliable internet (and telephone) services to all parts of the Hope valley, whether you are in the middle of a village, the middle of the moors or a mile from the nearest road!

Surely this is going to cost people a fortune!?

We architected the network roll-out to use funding from the UK Governments “Gigabit Voucher Scheme”, this means the government will pay the majority (in most cases all) of the installation costs.

Where and when can I get it?

Current plans include Castleton to Calver extending up to the far reaches of the upper Derwent. The service is live now in Bamford, Hope, Shatton, Aston, Brough, Bradwell and Hathersage, with Castleton going live in the next few weeks.

How fast is it?

We have a range of packages for home users and businesses, they range from 30Mbps right up to 1000Mbps! Some of the customers we have installed have seen a 200x speed increase! Our packages are also symmetric, this means there is fast download and upload, we also don’t have any data limits.

18

Who are Gigabit Peak District?

We are a local company, with sustainability at the heart of what we do.

We are in the process of relocating our office from Sheffield to Bamford, so our engineers and support team are truly local. We are recruiting too, do you know anyone that wants a job?

You mentioned sustainability is at the heart of what you do, what does this mean?

We are running a business, and businesses generally have a few aims, one is to deliver a good product or service to its customers and the other is to make a profit, but we believe the third key measure should be one of reducing negative environmental impact and enhancing positive impact.

We have BIG plans for this and we can’t wait to talk about it in more detail, we are transitioning to electric vehicles which is great, but currently a problem as there are no public electric charging points in the Hope Valley. The Hope Valley Garden centre is working on a number of initiatives to reduce carbon output and we are working with their team to install a Solar Array which will power electric charging points which will be available for public use.

How do we get connected?

Pretty simple, either give us a call, register on our website or drop us an email and we can get you booked in for a survey, when you are ready to go ahead we process the government grant for you and book you in for the installation.

What’s the catch?

There is only a limited funding pot available, and it’s on a first come, first served basis. At the end of September 2019, £49 Million of the £67.8 Million has been allocated so there is just under £20 Million left, so get your orders in soon!

Slimming World Recipe Roast Turkey Christmas is a tough time to stay on plan but Slimming World have made it a little easier with this great Roast Turkey recipe.

Serves: 8 Ready in: 6 Hour Syns per serving: 2.5

Method:

1. Make the stuffing. Put the onions, garlic and stock in a large saucepan, cover with a lid and bring to the boil. Boil for 5-10 minutes, then uncover the pan and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the onions are tender and syrupy and the liquid is absorbed.

2. Roughly tear the bread, place in a food processor and blitz until you have fine crumbs.

3. 3Stir the breadcrumbs, herbs, seasoning, lemon zest and juice, and the egg into the stock mixture. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool thoroughly.

4. Wash the turkey inside and out, pat dry with kitchen paper and season. Pack the stuffing into the neck cavity and secure with a skewer.

5. Place the turkey, breast side down, on a rack in a large roasting pan and cover loosely with foil. Cook in a preheated oven at 220°C/200°C Fan/Gas Mark 7 for 45 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 190°C/170°C Fan/Gas Mark 5 and turn the turkey over. Replace the foil and cook for 3 ½ hours.

6. Remove the foil and replace the turkey in the oven for a further 30 minutes. It is cooked when the juices run clear when you pierce it behind the leg with a sharp knife or a skewer.

7. Let the turkey stand for about 20 minutes, just covered with the foil. Before carving, make sure that you remove any skin.

Hope Valley Business Zoo Business Networking @HNBZ Networking

Do’s and Don’ts

Business owners may avoid networking for several reasons. Rigid, ‘must always bring referrals and never miss a session’ kind of events seem like hard work.

Do spend some time working on ‘your pitch’, usually 30-60 seconds is required.

Large yearly membership fees plus additional weekly meeting payments quickly add up and, if you’re just starting, out these can seem like just another unjustifiable expense.

However, networking has changed yes, the ‘old style’ membership ones still exist but there are plenty of pay as you attend groups around and everyone who runs their own business should factor in attending meetings on a regular basis.

Do ensure that you mention exactly what you are looking for – e.g. the type of business or client you would like to meet.

Do attend meetings regularly, dipping in and out won’t help you build relationships.

Do refer business to people you network with – reciprocity is the name of the game!

Do follow up with people – networking is not just about handing out business cards.

Don’t launch straight into a sales pitch.

Mandarin Duck spreading across the Peak’s rivers …..

Over the last ten or twenty years a new bird has appeared on rivers like the Derwent at Baslow and at Chatsworth. In recent years we have gained an amazingly spectaular bird with perhaps the most outlandish plumage of all (now-) British birds. This is the Mandarin Duck, the drake of which looks like a garishly dressed Chinese ‘mandarin’ in full regalia. As a non-native’ species now rapidly spreading across Britain, not everyone is keen on this new arrival. Nevertheless, I do like them and so do many readers who contact me to ask what on earth has arrived on their local pond or river.

This bird has quietly colonised local rivers, lakes and ponds in recent years and to an extent has ‘slipped under the radar’. Now it is here and in some abundance.

The Mandarin is widely considered to be the most beautiful duck in the world, and that is why it has arrived with us, brought to our shores by wildfowl enthusiasts. In Britain, escapees from collections and deliberate releases into the wild have led to a growing population through the twentieth century, with something over 7,000 established by the 1990s. British birds began to arrive in the 1700s, brought to grand landscape parks and gardens of the rich aristocracy. Widespread escapes during the 1900s meant numbers rose throughout the late twentieth century. The fervour to collect them from native haunts was one contributing factor in a rapid decline in their homeland. They are now threatened in native habitats in southeast Asia, with fewer than 1,000 pairs in each of eastern Russia and China, and around 5,000 pairs in Japan.

Along with collecting

Fully insured Serving the Hope Valley & surrounding areas since 2004 Full project management incl. BCO notices Internal structural alterations Plumbing, electrics, joinery, plastering & decoration and export to collections around the world, the destruction of forest habitats has combined with this to cause catastrophic declines. So the native bird has gone down but our feral population is on the way up – and there hangs a conservation conundrum!

Traditional Chinese culture regards Mandarin Ducks as life-long couples, unlike other most other ducks. They are therefore seen as symbolic of conjugal affection and fidelity. Unusually for ducks, the adult birds, (which live to about six years or so), nest in holes and cavities in trees. They tend to feed dusk and dawn and often shelter along the water’s edge under overhanging branches and shrubbery, or perch on tree branches. Whilst males are stunningly striking, the bird is often quite shy and the female, dull, pale brown with white markings, can easily be overlooked. The duck lays around eight to twelve eggs in the nest in a tree hollow in April and the male may defend the brooding female.

Gardener’s Calendar

We’re mostly heading towards the winter protection zone now in the garden. Time to bubble wrap container pots which can also go up on “feet” if there’s a risk of waterlogging. Cut roses in wind-exposed plots back to a third of their height to stop wind rock which damages roots. Create a grease layer – there’s loads of makes on the market – to prevent wingless female fruit moths climbing fruit trees and laying their eggs in the branches and impacting on next year’s crop.

Between now and February is a good time to shape and prune apple and pear trees – but not plums which are liable to crop damaging silver leaf damage if pruned at the wrong time of year.

r

Don’t worry overmuch about fungi appearing in beds or lawns. People sometimes fear they are signs of the dreaded honey fungus. But this destructive fungus appears at the base of affected plants and shrubs rather than randomly across a garden and you will probably have already spotted problems with the plant. In some cases bunches of honey coloured toadstools briefly pop up on infected stumps. But the plant will also be looking sick, particularly in the upper reaches as roots are killed off by the fungus. The most obvious sign is a white sheet of fine fungal growth between the wood and bark at ground level so you need to peel bark back there if you have suspicions. The only way to eradicate it is to heave the plant or bush out and destroy the roots and stump – don’t put it on the compost heap!

TOP TIP!

1: Place a plank (or something similar) across your main access point into the garden to prevent compacting of grass or beds when you’re walking across and working over the winter.

2: Don’t chuck spent compost from tubs – it makes a great mulch for beds 06/11/2018 18:16
