Hi Readers, I hope you are enjoyed your great British Summer – it was hot and short lived like all the greats but fear not, I’m banking on a cracking September once all the school holidays, Euro’s etc are finished! You never know, we might have our long awaited ‘Freedom Day’ by that point!

So, I’ve made one of my observations this month, which is just re-affirming what I’ve talked about earlier in the year. I am massively struggling to understand the obvious juxtaposition between people at the moment!

What happened to the ‘in-between’? Imagine this scenario, you say something contentious to me, such as ‘the dress is blue and gold’ and I say, ‘no it isn’t, it’s cream and black’. Now, we are clearly seeing things differently and that’s ok but it doesn’t mean we need to be arch enemies that never speak again! Rather simply, we both shrug our shoulders and move on to talk about something else! I just don’t understand this concept of ‘sides’, life is not that simple for any of us to not appreciate the grey areas in everything we say, do, perceive etc. Whatever happened to ‘turn the other cheek’ or even ‘walk a mile in someone else’s shoes’?

I’ve seen about 5 examples of businesses & charities trying to be ‘taken down’ by internet trolls who like to complain, which is disappointing to say the least after the 18 months everyone has just has. On the flip side, I have recently experienced first-hand the kindest of strangers; walking back from the office to the car laden with dogs, bags and boxes, a lovely lady stopped and asked if I needed any help to carry anything. Well, you know what they say around here, ‘nowt so funny as folk’! With that in mind, if you don’t like Jim’s article this month, simply agree to disagree! #justsaying Talking of ‘Freedom Day’, at this stage we still don’t know what’s happening with events at the time of writing & going to print. We aren’t sure if our beloved YNot festival is going ahead, my heart goes out to them and the rest of the hospitality industry as they find themselves in yet another state of limbo in which they are expected to ‘Pivot’. As a large proportion of society have discovered, it’s very difficult to survive financially when you can’t trade/go to work/have minimal income

and the stress for the o w n e r s /o r g a n is e r s must be phenomenal.

We have our fingers and toes crossed for everyone involved that the test events go well and that the rest of the events community including YNot get the go ahead at the beginning of July.

With this in mind, we’re now planning to bring our community events and diaries back in August or September editions, depending on what happens in the next few weeks and how much time we’ll have to put it together prior to print. If you were in any of these last time, please don’t assume that you will be included going forward, we will be starting from scratch! We’ll try and call some of the people from the previous listings but if you are a community group/notfor-profit organisation and you are planning events for later this year and/or you have regular meetings, send us an email to: info@voicemagazines.co.uk and one of the team will get back to you. These listings are free, they will only be a minimal listing and only accessible to community or not-for profit groups. However, if these groups would like something a little larger, we’ve put together and trialled in our Kirkby magazine, a community noticeboard. You can choose the size you require and prices start from £6+vat per square but you can buy multiple squares. Why not pop over to our issuu site or Facebook page if you don’t receive that edition, to have a look for yourself.

Happy Reading,

Emily x P.S Don’t forget to mention the ‘Voice’ when you use any of the companies in this magazine

PHOENIX BOWLS CLUB see in the quality of the games we play, because all our players are novice players that came to us with very little, or no playing experience at all.

Colin, our club coach, gives 3 hours of training totally free of charge to anyone that may wish to try their hand at bowls irrespective of age or experience.

This is the first monthly Secretaries report I have written for inclusion in the Voice Magazine on the current state of the Phoenix Flat Green Bowls Club based on Somerlea Park, Sherwood Street Leabrooks DE55 1LB. Just before I jump straight in with the current months report, it may well be worth me taking just a little time to familiarise you with who we are, and how we arrived here because some of you may not know we even exist..

After 4 long years of no bowls being played on the park, we acquired the green on lease from Amber Valley Borough Council, along with the old Tennis Court pavilion that was being used as a groundman’s storage facility. That was back in 2019 which has now become known as the birth of the new Phoenix Bowls Club. I now jump forward 3 years to the current day June 2021.

Phoenix Bowls Club situated at Somerlea Park Leabrooks is enjoying its first season of league bowling since forming in 2019. It is an upcoming local lawn bowls clubs that is stirring up lots of local interest.

This newly formed club has a full democratic committee, club coach who is currently completing his bowls England coaching qualification and a social committee poised to raise funds and organise social gatherings for members as COVID restrictions lift.

A number of local residents are currently learning to play lawn bowls with Colin Hale our club coach. We welcome all our new members and hope they enjoy many hours of lawn bowls at our weekly roll up games and league matches.

Our League Entry The Management Committee decided that we ought to enter the Ashfield Bowls Association League Games, so this we did, and May saw us enter the great arena of League Bowls Competitions. We have won one game outright, and have won a few rinks during the games, we have played against other clubs like the Duke of Wellington, Polly, Brinsley, Brierley Park, Rolls Royce and Longdon Terrace, and this has given us all great confidence.

You will see Bruce and Ken our Club Captains just leaning on the green’s perimeter rail at times, just looking at the state of play, and they say what a vast improvement they

Book Review

Most people will have a time in their youth when they think back and say “we were mad then, do you remember?”

Nights out partying, then going straight to work next morning; or climbing mountains in blizzards, or crazy evenings in pubs or at rock concerts or festivals when everybody seems like your best friend or spending your pay packet on a mad shopping spree. Just fill in your own best moments. And remember the friends you did it with.

Andrew O’Hagan’s Mayflies starts as a celebration of mad youth. His mayflies, Jimmy and Tully are lads from small-town Scotland who break free and head for a weekend of magical escape in Manchester in the 1980s. Yes it was possible!

Jimmy, the narrator, has a lovely turn of phrase. The story is full of wit and energy and carries you along at breakneck speed.

Thirty years pass and the two meet up again. The story turns into a different tale, but the author treats middle age with the same thoughtfulness and compassion as he does the craziness of youth.

It’s a lovely, wise and emotional book about going at your life with all you’ve got and doing it with the people you love. Wonderful!

Time for a Picnic July is ‘National Picnic Month’, and we are blessed in this part of the world to have lots of amazing places to spread our blankets and unpack our sandwiches. But let’s inject a few words of caution, and a couple of reminders…

We do have the ‘right to roam’ in this country, meaning you can access the countryside without sticking to paths, but there are still rules to adhere to.

Starting with the basics; firstly not all of the UK is classed as ‘open access land’ - areas marked on a map as ‘private (‘excepted land’)’ are restricted. You may be able to pass through but must use publicly marked footpaths. And even in ‘open access’ areas you should not horse ride, cycle, or drive a car or motorbike. You should not ‘wild camp’ either, without the permission of the land owner.

Another obvious rule (or at least it SHOULD be obvious!) is to keep dogs on leads whilst you are near ANY livestock - it doesn’t matter how ‘good’ your beloved pooch is, a dog is a hunter by nature, and you have no idea if/when your pet may decide to follow his instincts. You should also keep your dog on a leash if you are visiting the countryside during the period between 1 March and 31 July to protect ground-nesting birds.

Other common sense things to remember are to shut gates after you pass through them; be alert around livestock, particularly if they are with their young; and it shouldn’t need to be said but ‘TAKE YOUR RUBBISH HOME WITH YOU’!

All the above being said, who remembers the picnics of childhood?

The plaid rugs, Tupperware boxes of wilting salad that no one ate, sarnies

18

made of limp white sliced bread filled with potted meat (or sliced ham if you ‘were a bit posh’), lukewarm fizzy drinks and thermos flasks of stewed tea! If you were lucky there’d be something sweet to finish off the feast - a slice of home made cake, a bun, or perhaps a melting chocolate bar.

What we never did was take a foil container full of charcoal, light it, burn a few burgers or sausages and then leave the smoking hot tray of coals behind to ignite woodland and moors alike. That my friends is a very 2020s phenomena, and one that needs to be stopped immediately IMHO. And breathe…

Enjoy National Picnic Month sensibly, dig out the rugs, the picnic baskets, cool bags, Tupperware, and thermos flasks; invent new sandwich flavours - potted meat (whilst delicious) is so last century. Go a bit upmarket, buy a ‘posh’ loaf of bread, cut off the top, hollow it out and stuff the middle with all manner of loveliness before putting the top back on and wrapping the whole lot tightly in clingfilm. Put it in the fridge for a couple of hours with something heavy on top to press it down, then slice and enjoy al fresco… yum!

Vintage Rambles a with raFf lake and

This walk dates back to March 2014. We took the boys out last month to re-walk the route and found one part overgrown and blocked off, so to avoid you getting as badly nettled as we were we have re-routed a section.

It’s a shame that public footpaths get blocked but we have to adapt and do the best we can and the walk is well worth it! It begins in Doe Hill Country Park, which has some lovely paths to explore before we pick up part of the Silverhill Trail. From here we head up along one of the Five Pits Trail paths before we loop back to return to Doe Hill Country Park.

5½ mile circular walk from Doe Hill Country Park A moderate walk for you and your dog. The route should take around 2½ hours. Whilst a large part of the walk is trails and paths there are some fields to cross with uneven and potentially muddy sections so a good pair of boots or wellies is a must. There is a section of road and roads to cross, so please take care and keep dogs on leads at these times.

Start: Doe Hill Country Park Car Park, Doe Hill Lane, between Tibshelf and Stonebroom, DE55 6JS 1.

Take the path that leads directly from the car park (by the poop bag bin). Follow this path as it winds around until it joins with another path from the right, then take the next left, almost immediately, heading uphill. Follow this path again as it winds until it joins with another path from the right and again take the next left, almost immediately. Follow this path until it brings you to Alfreton Road.

2.

Cross the road and take the wide track (Gloves Lane) after a metal barrier on the other side.

Follow this track for approximately 100 meters before taking the second of two paths on your left (the Silverhill Trail.

3.

Continue along the trail until you meet a sign on your right. Take the horse stile on your left towards the ‘Five Pits Trail’. Follow this path until you meet a cross roads, taking the first path on your right. (This route can be fairly muddy. If you are keen to avoid this, you can continue ahead here on the Five Pits Trail to take you to point 5.)

4.

Follow this path until it joins Saw pit lane, bearing left. After another 200 meters take a signposted footpath on your left. Follow the path as it joins Wetton Lane and follow until you reach the main road (B6014).

5.

Turn left here and cross the road at the crossing before joining the five pits trail directly ahead. Keep to the main path downhill until a crossing of a small path. Turn left on the small path, cross over a lane and pass through a width restrictor.

6.

Follow the path, ignoring steps on the right.

Continue onto a road (Monsall Crescent) and keep ahead. At a T-junction, turn left and follow the road as it bends round to the right. Ignore roads leading off and then, as the road bends round to the right again, take a short road onto a wide track footpath off to the left, just before a play park.

7.

Keep ahead to the end of the path where there are turns left and right. Take the turn on the left to immediate pass through a gap in the hedge on your left. Turn right to walk alongside the field with the hedge on your right. At the bottom corner of the field pass through a kissing gate and turn left to walk alongside the field to cross a stile in the corner of the filed, onto Doe Hill Lane.

8.

Turn right here and follow Doe Hill Lane back to Doe Hill Country Park. Where appropriate cross the road to make use of the footpaths available.

This walk is for illustrative purposes only. Voice Magazines takes no responsibility for anyone who chooses to follow this route and encourages all walkers to obey all byelaws and signs and to respect the area they are walking in, ensuring they pick up all dog mess and obey the countryside code at all times.

Tips to help your dog post-lockdown!

It’s great news for us all that COVID-19 restrictions are beginning to ease. However, this may not be the case for some dogs, especially if you’ve acquired a furry friend during the beginning of lockdown. For them, all they have known is a limited number of people who have been able to have close contact with them. Their walks have been quiet, with limited noise, people and traffic. They haven’t experienced new places, different areas and new smells. With changes becoming more apparent, what will post-lockdown life for dog’s entail? After all, it’s been an unusual year or so.

Slow and steady changes

Below are several tips to help your companion adjust to life post-lockdown.

Keeping your dog company

New situations Too many challenges will overwhelm them and can cause nervous behaviour which could develop into a fear phobia.

It’s therefore a good idea to gradually introduce your dog to new situations.

To prevent a fear phobia occurring, slowly build up new experiences by providing lots of praise and rewards. Linking new exposures to positive training methods will enhance your dog’s ability to cope.

For example, instead of inviting friends into your house where your dog is not used to having strangers, you could arrange to meet up with friends and go for a dog walk which exposes your dog to new people paired with fun distractions.

Out and about Take a trip to an outdoor shopping centre where you and your dog can sit and watch the world go by. Take treats with you to reward calm behaviours in a busy environment.

Staying too long may overwhelm your dog so it’s a good idea to keep visits short but often until they get used to different environments.

Have you been working from home during the pandemic?

Slow changes to your routine will help your dog to adjust to their new way of life. Dogs often find it difficult to be left on their own as they’re very sociable, hence why they make great additions to the family. It’s a good idea to prepare them to cope without you at home. Start by leaving your dogs when they are sleeping, eating or playing – Try closing the door behind you and sitting in another room.

If you haven’t had time to get your dog used to being left alone, or you’ve recognised that your dog is not coping well, don’t ignore the situation. Act quickly to prevent it from getting any worse. While you go out, ask family or friends to sit with your dog or arrange for a dog walker to walk your dog when you go back to work. This will limit the time your dog is left on their own. If you are going to be away for a long period of time possibly look into a doggy daycare facility.

Training Training classes can help you to deal with the adolescent teenage years of your dogs’ life. It is part of their normal development however, it can sometimes be a difficult time for dog owners as their beloved friend seems to have forgotten lots of what they were taught. A little help from a dog trainer can really help get your dog get back on track.

At Scarsdale Vets, we offer a 4-week puppy training course.

It’s designed to help with a range of puppy challenges such as toilet training, socialisation, play biting and chewing plus much more. For further information or to book, please call our Park Farm practice on 01332 554422.

The last year has been challenging for us all. Let’s make sure your four-legged friend can cope with post-lockdown life.

The Rich Get Richer

Have you ever noticed how unfair the world is? It’s the real reason I got involved in politics and local issues some 40 odd years ago It had nothing to do with footpaths or potholes although some people are obsessed by one or the other.

It had to do with fairness.

My first foray was in school governance in Pinxton. More about that another day because its an interesting tale, but for now I’m talking about day to day living.

The state attacks the poor at every turn and so does business.

If you can afford to pay your annual car tax in one lump sum it’s cheaper than 2 x 6 months.

The same applies to car insurance. Full premium is cheaper than installments.

Paying a direct debit for gas and electricity works out much cheaper than buying incremental bits of power from the local shop.

Historically the abuse excuse was “extra admin” but that’s now provable nonsense. Computerised systems offer paperless car tax, TV licence etc. No-one is writing letters to you and sticking a second class stamp on the scummy brown envelope.

Despicable businesses like Blight House (deceased) will charge the most vulnerable £1000 for a £200 TV whereas the “comfortable” pay the correct price at John Lewis.

Pretty much everything you buy is cheaper if you’re well off.

If you’re on £120k pa and get a 5% pay rise.... well that’s £115 pw increase If you’re on 12k pa then it’s just over £11 pw The gap continues to grow You might conclude that the establishment is determined to force the poorest into eternal poverty.

40

Just as a trivial aside I enjoy a bowl of peanuts with my evening tipple. A 200g bag from Tesco is about 46p. From the Co op 70p. A bag from my local “one stop” shop £1.40p.

If you’re struggling then you won’t have a car to drive to Tesco. I know this last example has some level of economic logic to prop it up...but its still tough on those with the least.

It’s almost as though the whole system is designed to keep people “in their place”, downtrodden and fiscally vulnerable.The state sanctioned “minimum wage” is clearly insufficient as, in many cases wages need to be topped up by “tax credits”... the state subsidising business by encouraging it to underpay employees.

Things don’t improve in old age either. If you’ve struggled throughout your working life then things get worse when you retire with the basic state pension being wholly insufficient.Your zero hours contract has never earned you enough to put money away for your old age Is it any wonder that people like Nigel Farage, a city commodities trader, was desperate to get us out of the EU where regulations to look after the individual are looking to be strengthened? It’s no surprise that hypocritical patriot James Dyson took his business to a country where worker exploitation is at the heart of his political ethos.

Next time you go to the polls, particularly if you’re struggling, you might want to think about who has your best interests at heart and not just about who can come up with the scruffiest haircut.

Introducing Paul from Time for You Hi, my name is Paul Keenan and I am the business owner of Time for You Derbyshire North Domestic Cleaning. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself so that you can get a feel for the person behind the business. I also wanted to explain why I decided to launch my business back in September 2020.

Prior to moving into the domestic cleaning world I was a Project Manager in IT. I have worked in various industries over the past 20 years or so, but in recent years, I found myself wanting a different work/life balance. Long hours and commuting meant I was spending less time with my wonderful family and I wanted to change that. I wanted to have more flexibility, be in control of my own working pattern. I wanted to spend more quality time at home, this was the key driver for me. One of my favourite things to do is walk my daughter to school every day!

So, I took a leap of faith last year and left my job to set up this business. It hasn’t been easy, especially trying to launch a business in the middle of a global pandemic! However, I have never looked back, it

46

has been the best decision I have ever made and I believe the business will be a real success.

Why domestic cleaning? I really enjoy meeting people, I have been lucky enough to meet lots of lovely people, both clients and cleaners. Just knowing that I am playing a part in helping others with their lifestyle, easing their worries, and taking away some of that strain and burden is a good feeling.

Anyway, enough about me, I hope to hear from you at some point in the near future.

Maybe I can help give you back some of that, much needed precious ‘Time For You’.

Mike’us sings M

The tallest of tales require the bravest tellers and rhyming Derbyshire with desire takes a brave person… take it away Mike Mike is always glad to hear from you at mike. musings@outlook.com

The latest of George’s Footballing Tales (the ballad of Billy McKay)

George’s grandad, Horace Twigg, a mainstay of Hilcote Hacademicals FC for many years, took great delight in sitting his young grandson on his knee and recalling many of the characters involved with the team.

One tale that had young George entranced was of the big defender who had come down from Scotland to seek fame and fortune (but especially the latter!) playing football in England.

This particular player was so well known in Scotland that the famous Dundee poet, William Topaz McGonigall, had composed a poem about him. For those unfamiliar with his work, it was McGonigall who, as every Scottish schoolchild knows, had written the following rhyme

The Tay, the Tay, the Silvery Tay Flows from Perth to Dundee every day Well, although perhaps not quite as well-known as that classic couplet, McGonigall’s tribute to this stalwart of the Hilcote defence was as follows:-

There was a lad from Dundee called Billy McKay The finest footballer in Scotland and.........that’s no lie Built like a brick s***house, man he was huge But on the fitba’ park, he was certainly no stooge He went to Glasgow and played for Queens Park A tough centre half, his bite much worse than his bark Opposing forwards were flummoxed, in total disorder And news of his prowess spread south of the Border Wanting to play at a higher level his ultimate desire

Local supporters were intrigued when they heard that McKay was coming to play for Hilcote. His reputation was of an uncompromising player who ‘took no prisoners’ and there were unconfirmed rumours of centre forwards in his native Scotland, who suddenly developed a severe illness or who mysteriously disappeared on the morning of a match against Queens Park.

Despite this, they were shocked when they saw him for the first time on his home debut against Riddings Rovers. It may be a bit of a cliché, but he was a man mountain of a chap, probably weighing in excess of 20 stones. As a result of his bulk, his main contribution to the team was the difficulty opposing forwards had in simply getting past him. However, when he had the ball at his feet, he could deliver perfect passes to his Hilcote teammates and was a key factor in the team’s success of the 1890’s.

McKay had been a player in demand and many of the top clubs in England had been keen to sign him.

However, in addition to a wage of fifteen shillings a week – eat your heart out Kevin De Bruyne! - Hilcote had provided him with free accommodation and as much of Mildred Mycroft’s home cooking as he could manage to eat. That was the deal clincher as he liked his food and would often down five of her fidgety pies in one sitting.

It is said - and to paraphrase Michael Caine ‘not a lot of people know this’ - that back in his native Dundee, Billy McKay was actually the physical inspiration for Desperate Dan.

He moved south to Hilcote................which is in Derbyshire
