PARISH CHURCH NEEDS NEW ORGANIST

Misterton Parish Church is looking for a new organist when Fiona Law leaves at the end of August for a new job in Sheffield. Fiona (pictured at the Misterton organ) has been organist since 2006 and, as a Royal College graduate, has brought a new standard of professionalism to the role. So the Church Council is looking for a suitably qualified or experienced church organist to take over from September. At present, services are once a month (on the 4th Sunday). For further information, call 891376.

The Parish Church’s unique 1875 pipe organ was a gift from the Misses and Mr G Wells; it is over a century old and is regularly maintained. It has been played at weddings, funerals, and services for nearly 150 years and is almost entirely in its original condition.

The organ was built by Brindley & Foster in Sheffield. The business was set up by Charles Brindley in 1854, joined by Albert Healey Foster in 1871. They began to manufacture complex organs, concentrating on the production of orchestral effects. The business is now one of the oldest organ-building companies in the world. There are over 2500 Willis organs in use from Norway to Nigeria to New Zealand. It is believed that Misterton’s organ was modernised with an electric motor in the 1960s. But the original hand pump remains in place.

In memory of our beloved Queen Elizabeth 11 When Princess Elizabeth, Alexandra, Mary came into this world on 21st April 1926 at Bruton Street within the Mayfair district of London, little did her doting parents know what an extraordinary baby they held in their arms. She would become the longest reigning British monarch in history, and a Queen who was loved and adored by millions across the world. Princess Elizabeth was joined by her sister Princess Margaret four years later and their father, then Prince Albert of York, lovingly referred to his family as ‘us four’, fondly nicknaming Elizabeth ‘Lilibet’.

The course of this little Princess’s life and that of history changed when her father became king, upon the abdication of his older brother, King Edward V111. He reluctantly took over as King George V1, being crowned in 1937. At age 10 years, Princess Elizabeth’s destiny became clearer but perhaps no one could predict just how remarkable her reign would be, nor foresee the dramatic events she would both enjoy and endure throughout it.

Although she met a young man named Philip in 1934, at the wedding of Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark to Prince George, Duke of Kent, it wasn’t until 1939 that a friendship began with the 18-yearold cadet, after they met again at the Britannia Royal naval college when she was aged 13 years. From then on there would be no one else for this smitten Princess. Their love would be like no other, standing the test of time with almost unbearable challenges at times yet proving it is possible for love to not just survive, but thrive, when a ‘strength and stay’ stands by the side of his Queen.

As a mother of four children, grandmother of eight and great grandmother of 12, Queen Elizabeth certainly had her hands full. One of my favourite stories is of Lady Louise Windsor, eldest child of Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex. Apparently, it wasn’t until the young Lady Louise went to primary school that she found out her dear Granny and the Queen were one and the same! Imagine having a relationship with Her Majesty where the Crown plays no part and having fun, playing games and creating cherished memories are the only things that matter.

As the Queen of this country and head of the Commonwealth the extent of her influence and impact has been vast. Through her role with the Commonwealth, which she inherited with just a body of eight states, she has worked tirelessly to remain politically neutral whilst supporting its aims of promoting democracy and human rights. Her unstinting and unwavering sense of duty has seen her meet and greet thirteen US presidents beginning with Dwight D Eisenhower in October 1957. Barack Obama said the Queen had ‘captivated the world with a reign defined by grace, elegance and a timeless work ethic’. While on the throne the Queen saw sixteen British prime ministers come and go from Winston Churchill with whom she had a ‘special relationship’, to Liz Truss who she had met just the once. Perhaps the most unlikely of warm relationships developed with Labour leader Harold Wilson. From very different social backgrounds they grew to respect each other’s perspectives, so much so that they had meetings of up to two hours!

He joined in with family picnics at Balmoral and Her Majesty attended his farewell dinner at 10 Downing Street in 1976.

Perhaps what caused me to become such an admirer of our beloved Queen is her devotion to serving her Country and Commonwealth. Her unrelenting resilience, despite the most difficult of circumstances year upon year is astounding. The way she has tried to protect her family especially in times of deep distress, shows both her courage and compassion. And her unswerving dedication to the church and her Lord has been an example to us all of living a faith filled life. Over the years there have been many times this unexpected Bond girl’s wit and humour has brought laughter to others. One of the most amusing stories I heard is told by her former protection officer, Richard Griffin, whilst out walking with Her Majesty on the Balmoral estate. Two American hikers on a walking holiday engaged in a conversation with them. Not realising who they were addressing, they asked if they had ever met the Queen. Her Majesty responded she had not but that Richard had met her many times! Passing their camera to the Queen, they asked her for a photo with the protection officer! Graciously Richard then offered to take one of them with the undercover sovereign. After the Americans were on their way, Her Majesty joked that she would love to be a fly on the wall when someone looked at the photos and recognised her!

Over the years I have had many adventures involving my love of our Queen. Here are two of them. In 2014 we toured Buckingham Palace. My cardboard cut out queen was unceremoniously placed in a black bin bag and taken with me on the train to London. On arrival at the palace, I said to the security officer, ‘you may not have been asked this question before, but can I take my pop-up queen in with me?’ He replied, ‘you’re right, I’ve never been asked that before!’ I couldn’t take her in the palace but we were allowed photos in the grounds. When I produced her from the black carrier in the café, the other customers gave her a round of applause.

Our Right Royal Rally in 2016, to commemorate Her Majesty’s 90th birthday and my own late mother’s birthday on the same date, saw my daughter and I drive round all the royal palaces in my mini with union jack roof, dressed in appropriate royal outfits, in a day, raising funds for cancer research. We started at Balmoral Castle at 6am in the morning, travelled to Holyrood House in Edinburgh, then on to Sandringham, Windsor and finally arrived on The Mall at gone 10pm.We had arranged to meet my husband who was working in London. We jumped out of the car, he leapt in and drove up and down whilst we took our photos at the palace gates. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I could see our red mini, followed by a blue flashing light.

The police pulled him up just past the Queen Victoria statue. We ran round from the gates in our red tutus, mini top hats and union jack tights to where my husband had been stopped to save him from getting arrested.

However, we need not have feared, for by the time we arrived, the officer and my husband were joking together about our Right Royal Rally. Realising the officer was a jovial sort, I asked if we could have a photo of him and my Queen to which he replied ‘I think you’ll find she’s in bed madam!’ ‘No’, I laughed, ‘my cardboard queen’ and quickly produced a life size cut out from the boot of the car! We have a wonderful photo and memento of the officer, ‘the queen’ and myself.

As a nation we are mourning the loss of our beloved Queen Elizabeth 11. It feels as if a guiding light has gone out. Her reassuringly constant presence, no longer with us. Yet the legacy she leaves is one which we can all embody as we live our lives as Her Majesty did, with a heart of service, a resilient spirit and a witty sense of humour. Her Majesty the Queen has been my heroine and inspiration. I am sure like me you are eternally grateful for all she has done and the person she was. It has been an honour and delight to have called her My Queen. It only remains for me to join with Paddington in saying “Thank you ma’am, for everything’.

Written by Her Majesty’s faithful servant, Alison L. Tinsley

1st Isle of Axholme BP Scouts – Summer 2022 Update On 15th-17th July we enjoyed returning to Glenbrook scout camp, Sheffield, for our jointsection summer camp. Despite soaring temperatures, we had an amazing weekend filled with activities.

Firstly, congratulations to all the Cubs who came to this camp at Glenbrook, for some it was their first ever camp and they coped brilliantly. They did a good job of pitching their own tent and the camp looked very smart, well laid out and was a credit to the group.

The scouts stayed on site on Saturday, working in teams to produce shaded areas first (using tarpaulins and creative knotwork), and then various camp skills such as axe and knife work. They also needed to create safe open fire areas and then cook for themselves including devising new recipes ready for their “Back to basics” survival camp in October.

While the scouts were busy cooking, the cubs completed a challenging 5 hour hike in the hills of the Peak District. Fortunately, it was quite a shaded walk, but the cubs coped impressively, working on compass and mapwork as they went. We went to the top of Win Hill, at 463m high, with a climb of over 300 meters (about 1000 feet)! The Cubs motto is "Do your best" and the Cubs certainly achieved that. We were particularly impressed by their team spirit, and all they did to help each other.

Saturday night was campfire night. Many smores, songs and jokes, plus the cubs’ “entertainer” badge. Because the Scouts and Senior scouts were also present, it took the Cubs quite a bit of courage to perform their acts in front of the whole assembly! We even had requests from a couple of other troops asking if they could join us and our campfire – always good to learn new songs and jokes!

On Sunday, the scouts organised and led games, such as rounders, football and King, plus taking turns on the assault course, archery, go-karts and in the new climbing room - great fun and competitive spirit. Over the weekend there were many awards given, including: Best cub walker, Tidiest cub and scout tents, Best team player, Showing leadership skills and Best climber. Well done all!

Upcoming events: “Back to Basics” Scout camp (October) and Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award.

All sections (Cubs, Scouts and Senior Scouts) all restart on Monday 12th September 6pm (Cubs), and 7pm (Scouts) at the Village Hall.

Remember, we are still looking to recruit Beavers leaders so we can restart this section. Please get in touch if this is something you could help with.

Misterton News YOUNG PEOPLE TIDY UP THE VILLAGE Young people from Misterton Youth Club spent a day (Tuesday 9 August) tidying up the village. They weeded around the Parish Church and removed ivy from gravestones, then they headed to the Chesterfield Canal (pictured) where they cleared away dead undergrowth and weeds.

Many thanks to all the youngsters for taking pride in their village.

6TH DEFIBRILLATOR FOR MISTERTON Misterton Parish Council is arranging installation of a 6th defibrillator in the village, to be installed on an outside wall at the Red Hart in Church Street, with grateful thanks to the landlord.
