Welcome to Amber Valley Voice Hello and a warm welcome to the September edition of Amber Valley Voice.

3

Don’t forget to

Firstly, I think it is important to note that although mention the Voice this is the September edition of the magazine...I am when you use any of renaming the editions to reflect the period that it the companies in this covers. This is because it has caused some Magazine confusion over which month the magazines refers to and the truth is that it is actually both due to the delivery schedule being in the middle of the month‌.so perhaps a warm welcome to the Sept/Oct edition is more appropriate!!

As always there are lots of local things to do this month, so check out pages 6&7 for more information and as always, there are lots of new advertisers including Katie who runs a fantastic zumba class at Fizzio fit, so if you want to shake your stuff before the festive eating period is upon us, why not pop down for an hour and save yourself some January pain!!

Happy Reading!

Emily

Book Review Death of the regular by Gary Peacock

When Annette contacted me to tell me about this book called the ‘death of a regular’ written by a local man from down the pub about the local area and some of the local characters...I’ll be honest, I thought ‘great, I have 1 free weekend this month and it’s going to be taken up by the musings of a man in a pub!’ So, here I am saying publicly, that I was wrong and anyone else that thinks this won’t be their cup of tea because of any other perceptions...you’re wrong too!!

For anyone that has lived around the area, you’ll find this book fascinating and I think you’ll find the writing witty and sharp.

Similar to a game of football or rather should I say Rugby this is a book of two halves and begins by telling the story of George, Terry, David and Gerald and the local pubs that they frequented, along with a bit of really interesting history of the pubs and the area in general. The second part moves onto ‘the demise of the pub’ and makes some really interesting and well argued points, some of which you may agree with and some you may not!

The stories in themselves are absorbing and excellently written but I think what really gripped me was the honesty, warmth and humour that flows throughout this book. I personally had not met or spoken with Gary prior to reading the book but I really felt like I knew him down to the sarcastic humour and the tight – fisted Yorkshire man persona. At times, I found this book deeply moving at other times I would laugh out loud...much to the annoyance of my husband! (the living room was filled with ‘listen to this bit’ approximately every 20mins!!).

I think this book particularly appeals to people who either live or have lived in the area but is a great read for anyone in all honesty and would make a fabulous present...so bearing that in mind, here are the details of how to get hold of a copy or two; 1./You can read more about it and buy it directly online at www.deathoftheregular.com either in paperback or on the kindle.

2./You can purchase a copy from Booths Newsagents on Derby Road in Swanwick.

3./Gary has been known to pop into the Steampacket or the Gate (both in Swanwick), so messages can be left for him there for anyone that doesn’t have a PC. 4./Gary is going to write some articles with Amber Valley Voice, so you can always e-mail or phone me to pass messages on.

4 Mile Circular Walk from Broadmeadows to Selston A really nice walk for you and your dog. A chance to see some of the parts of the beautiful local countryside you might otherwise miss. The route will take about 2 hours. It is fairly even but there are a few uphill sections. The terrain is mixed and a good pair of boots and long trousers are advised to tackle some muddy sections and avoid stinging plants on the paths.

-1- Begin on Storth Lane, on the Broadmeadows Estate. Head south, passing beneath the A38 bridge. Shortly afterwards take a well marked bridlepath on your right, up the bank.

-2- Follow the path until it bends to the left, taking you into open fields. Keep the fence on your right and head down the field to a gate. Turn left through the gate and onto a lane. Approximately 20 yards down the lane it bends round to the left. There are two paths on the right hand side. Take the second path that leads up to a new housing estate.

-3- At the Housing estate, continue straight ahead and onto Park Lane, passing Pinxton Church on your left. At the bottom of Park Lane cross Wharf Road and down Mill Lane. At the bottom of Mill Lane keep going until you reach a bungalow with large eagle statues on the gates. Immediately to the right of this bungalow take a path that leads down the side.

-4- Cross a railway line and then a river bridge. Head up a hill into open fields. Carry on up the hill with the hedge on your right.

-5- If you wish to shorten the route keep your eyes peeled for a style on your right. Then continue straight ahead, with a dyke on your right until you reach a wooden gate with every purchase of on the right. Then go to instruction 9 Millers Complete Dog ood -6- After passing a wind turbine you come to a with this coupon tarmac lane.

-8- Carry on, crossing two stiles then follow a footpath sign pointing to the right and you will come to a kissing gate. After the gate go directly ahead, crossing the open field to reach a wooden gate at the other end.

-9- Go through the gate and head downhill. At the bottom there is a metal gate on the left. Turn right along a lane. At the end of the lane turn right onto another lane. Continue with the canal on your left. Pass through a metal gate and bear left onto a footpath keeping along side the canal. Until you reach a pond.

-10-There are two paths around the pond (Pinxton Wharf) both will bring you to the same point at the far end of the pond. Take a left here ,across a level crossing. At the top of the road, with a school on the left take a sharp left.

-11- Carry on along the road, passing Widermerpool road on you right and keep on straight up the lane. At the end, with a metal gate in front of you, turn right over a stile into a field. Keep the fence on your left and carry on up the hill.

-12-At the top the path narrows, with a fence on either side. Continue into another field , with the fence on your right. Go through a metal gate where the path has trees on either side. At the end of the path you will find yourself back at point 2 This walk is for illustrative purposes only. The Amber Valley Voice 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.

Is your pension working as hard as it should be?

Many pension plans are set up and then left alone, in the hope that when you retire all will be well.

Unfortunately this is not always the case.

If you answer no to any of these questions, you could benefit from a pension review: Have you reviewed your pension in the last 3 years?

Does your existing adviser regularly review your pension fund?

Does your pension reflect your current attitude to investment risk?

Do you know the level of charges on your existing pension?

21 The Olympics has been a fantastic testament to human endurance and achievement with world records being broken and personal best's being smashed. Unlike the seemingly unlimited boundaries of IT, for instance, sports also highlights physical limits and the Olympics was no exception in demonstrating the body's reaction to injury.

Whether you are a professional athlete or an amateur, injury will occur if the body is not capable of what you are asking of it and apart from accidents, it commonly this means 'too much too soon', so effective, patient warm-ups and cool downs are paramount in all sports.

Another cause of injury is repetitive strain - golf is a good example of this. Repetitive actions especially coupled with poor technique, can overcome the bodies ability to compensate and can mean the difference between being able to continue or not. A good golf pro is essential if you are prone to injury, as is a good osteopath, physiotherapist or chiropractor who, as well as patching you up, will help your body cope with the demands of repeated postures, especially if you are striving to improve.

Common golfing injuries are back pain- often in the pelvic joints as they try to absorb the rotation from the swing but also from bad habits such as not bending the knees when picking up the ball repeatedly or poor lifting technique when lifting a heavy bag or standing too hunched up when putting.

Registered Osteopaths and Physiotherapists who can help in relieving your pain

      

Shoulder, wrist and hand pain can also occur as can knee pain and there are various good golfing tips which can help- just look on our website in the Blog section. Exercises which can help prevent golf, or other sporting injuries are also available from physical therapists that specialise in treat sporting injuries and are tailor made to you.

DVD Review The Hunger Games (12)

22

Set in a disturbing future, one child of each sex are selected from each of the12 supressed Districts to compete in the Hunger Games for the amusement of the population of the wealthy Capitol. Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) volunteers to protect her sister and finds herself caught up in a fight to the death where there can be only one winner. Katniss soon finds out that where the good favour of a wealthy sponsor can make the difference between life and death, that she must learn to play the game as well as fight for her life if she is going to survive.

There are some excellent performances, not least from Jennifer Lawrence, who seems destined for big things, but also Josh Hutchinson as Peeta Mellark, the male child from District 12.

The Hunger Games is an engrossing film which looks and feels fantastic. The strong plot and excellent characters come together to create a world and story which captures your attention and imagination. The only disappointment being that you will have to wait until November 2013 for the next instalment.

Gardeners Calendar - September

25

Having nursed our plants through this soggy summer, now’s the time to start thinking about the new season.

Give next year’s hardy annuals a head start by sowing seed now. Flowers such as calendula, scabious and field poppy can be sown direct into the ground for early flowering next year.

Dividing perennials now & planting into soil improved with organic matter and fertiliser will give their roots time to get established before the cold sets in.

Prune fruit shrubs and trees as soon as they’ve finished fruiting. If you’re lucky enough to have a good crop of toms despite the lack of sunshine, cut away foliage to allow air and sun in to the vines thus preventing rot and encouraging ripening.

Top Tip September into early October is the best time for planting daffodil, crocus and grape hyacinth bulbs – the tulips can wait till November.
