Cover Image: Tom J Newell

Intro Hi and welcome to our Autumn edition It's the time of year when the leaves turn and fall, the nights draw in and we hunker down, curtains drawn pulled and start looking forward to Christmas… and the first signs of spring.

BUT HOLD ON! The past week has seen temperatures exceed 30 degrees celcius, it's been dry all week and we've been treated to some stunning sunsets.

What an edition we have this month!

Simon from S41 Local has a celebrity school friend and met up with him to talk art - Tom J Newell is responsible for this month's cover art and much of the artwork you'll see in and around Sheffield.

I caught up with Maria from Tallbird Records who celebrates ten years in business this October. Kai Undrell shares his thoughts on his latest EP release Full Fat Fear and we meet Dan Smith and his Shiatsu Bus. First Class Kitchens bring us up to date with all things kitchens... and bedrooms.

Then we have Magic Tenner, a two week event where local independent businesses put on £10 offers that showcase what they do and encourage you to call in and take a browse. We’ve listed all the offers that were organised as we went to print, but I suspect many more will be putting on offers between 7 and 21 October so please look out for the flyers and offer appearing on social media and please do all you can to support them.

We also have all the usual stuff and local news to keep you entertained.

Stay well and we'll see you out and about.

Tom J Newell The cool kid from school Words: Simon Paterson Images: Tom J Newell

S

at outside Bragazzis on Abbbeydale Road in Sheffield Tom rides past on his old racer bicycle and I am instantly transported back in time...

It's 1996, and we find ourselves in Peabody's bedroom (big shoutout to Paul and Carole for being the coolest parents around). Gathered are a bunch of us, soaking in the laid-back vibes. Jake strums the chords of Wonderwall on his acoustic guitar, and Pea leads the singalong for what feels like the hundredth rendition. MTV2 is on the TV and the Wu Tang Clan’s seminal track C.R.E.A.M. plays on mute. Leigh cracks open a can of Fosters, meanwhile, Tom idly doodles on the bed, lost in his own creative world.

If you had told a 16-year-old Tom, sitting there in his Vans, watching the Wu-Tang Clan, that one day he would be creating art for them, he would have burst out laughing.

We are just a bunch of teenagers, united in our mission to postpone the inevitable march into adulthood. Little did we realise, those were the days when life was at its purest. It was a time of simplicity, a time of contentment, it was our time.

As the year progressed, we would soon embark on our individual journeys. College, jobs, and relationships began to shape our lives, causing the tight bonds we shared to gradually loosen. The unavoidable responsibilities of adulthood started to exert their influence, nudging us in different directions. Slowly and sadly, we drifted apart...

Jump ahead 25 years, and here I am, an editor for a magazine, catching up with my longtime friend Tom. Our conversation revolves around his art, music, and influences. The joy is flowing as I express my anticipation to showcase his work on the front cover of S41 Local Magazine. A postcode that holds countless memories of the time we spent together.

“I remember Peabody had MTV2 which was amazing because I didn’t have it at home. Our time as teenagers wasn’t wasted as it was spent absorbing all sorts of music and watching cult movies,” says Tom. Page 4

This was a time before the internet when you had to use analogue methods of finding new music, art and movies.

“Spire News and Hudson’s Records were like portals to the rest of the world. Generally, Spire News wouldn’t kick you out for looking and not buying. To be able to go into Spire News and just look at music and skateboarding magazines was amazing, it was our internet, our window to the world outside of Chesterfield,” reminisces Tom. I asked Tom how he feels music has shaped his art with it playing such a huge role in life?

“It’s hard to separate the two, to me they are one entity that feeds off each other. I listen to music when I am drawing and often, I am drawing for a musician. I DJ and collect records so the two are just one to me,” smiles Tom. Tom studied fine art at Chesterfield College to further develop his skills as an artist, enabling him to find his own style and direction in the industry.

“I learnt a lot studying fine art and the resources available to me at the College were unbelievable, but my passion project was creating gig posters for the bands I was in and my friends' bands.

Eventually, your client base gets a bit bigger, they pass on a poster to a touring band, and it builds from there."

Tom is a little modest when it comes to name dropping, but I am more than happy to do it for him. Amongst his clients are: The Wu Tang Clan, The Sleaford Mods, Vans, Erykah Badu and the Tramlines Festival.

“Daniel Johnston is one of my most memorable, early, clients. He is cited as one of Kurt Cobain's (Nirvana) major influences and was my first big poster gig. I ended up signing prints with him backstage. It was an amazingly, bizarre, experience,” says Tom. Tom and I spent a lot of our time on Pottery Lane West and Salisbury Crescent as teenagers. Leigh and Pea’s parents were very liberal, and our hometown’s ‘grebo’ (old term for skateboarding, alternative teens) scene helped shape Tom’s art.

Cover Art “Chesterfield is a Mecca for liberal parents, there are a lot of them. There is a generation of cool people who settled in Chesterfield. We had a cool music scene as well. Weekends were all about the Green Room. I had a hip-hop night there which I created some of my very first posters for,” says Tom. You would be hard-pressed to drive anywhere in Sheffield and not see some of Tom’s art adorning the walls of the outdoor city. The Bear and Elephant sculptures he created for the Sheffield art trails are two of his most iconic pieces. Both were sold at auction with the proceeds going to the Children’s Hospital. The Bear and Elephant stand tall in Bear Tree Records and The Great Gatsby and are a must-see on your next visit to Sheffield.

Sadly, Tom has yet to create a mural for his hometown. CBC if you are reading this... I’ll post you a copy!

I asked him if he could create a mural on any building in Chesterfield of anything what would it be and where?

“I guess I would try not to do the Crooked Spire!

I suppose it is like doing Henderson’s relish in Sheffield. I could do a teenage me looking at magazines on the side of Spire News, haha!

Cheese Factor cobs are quite iconic, or I could do the ‘pound a bag’ man,” smiles Tom. Like many Cestrefeldian’s I've been to Tramlines Festival in Sheffield over the year and Tom has worked with them, (almost), from the very start.

“The 'Be More Nulty' artwork came about because of me expressing sadness at Sarah’s passing (Sarah Nulty – Tramlines creator). I drew the heart with the slogan 'Be More Nulty' in it and posted it online as a tribute. The remaining organisers wanted to buy it, but I gave it them for free. I am now on the board of the Sarah Nulty Power of Music charity which does magnificent work in the industry,” says Tom, proudly.

Above: Tom and Simon in deep discussion.

So, what’s next for Tom. J. Newell?

“I am currently working on skateboard designs, gig posters, some more stuff with the Sleaford Mods and today I am working on a project in the Picture House Social, where I DJ once a month on a Saturday night. Although, having two young boys and working late nights is a bit out of my comfort zone now,” says Tom. “Oh... how we have changed,” I reply.

Head over to Tom's website and socials, where you'll find a diverse range of prints, mini canvases, and detailed information on his limited edition T-shirt prints. tomjnewell.bigcartel.com tomjnewell For commission enquries email: tomjnewell@gmail.com

'No worries if not' is a quintessentially British phrase that we often employ when we're secretly hoping for someone's assistance. Tom's artwork, featuring a skeleton giving a thumbs-up while submerging, captures this sentiment flawlessly.

While some of his pieces may be interpreted as dark, a closer look reveals that positive narratives are a recurring thread throughout his work.

"The skeleton shedding tears that nourish the flowers is undoubtedly one of my top sellers," Tom explains. "Requests for prints of that piece keep coming. What might appear melancholic at first carries a positive message underneath," he adds.

Tallbird Records Celebrates Ten Years TallbirdRecordShop

n email arrived in August from Maria at Tallbird Records - she was inviting us to help her celebrate 10 years of Tallbird Records!

Well, we couldn’t say no could we, and met up at Libby's for a coffee and to find out a little more about the origins of Tallbird Records and life as a small independent business owner for ten years.

“My route to Tallbird Records is a long one but it was after I’d spent time as a stay-at-home mum that the shop became a reality, I was ready to work again and doing something I enjoy was the top priority’” explains Maria.

“My first job was in Richard’s Records in Canterbury, after a while I moved to London and worked part-time in Beggars Banquet in KingstonUpon-Thames, a record shop that has since grown to legendary status and shortened its name to Banquet Records.

'the first sale of a used copy of David Bowie's, ‘The Man Who Sold the World’ confirmed the great taste of Chesterfield’s music lovers' “I ended up managing Alto in Carnaby Street which was part of a chain selling CDs and videos (now long gone) and then moved to Virgin Retail as a product manager. This role exposed me to all sorts of exciting work opportunities, such as helping to set up Virgin Megastores around the country (including the one in Sheffield). I ended up working for Virgin Cinemas managing their merchandise stores and food offering including a very short-lived fish restaurant at the Sheffield branch, and much more besides. This role equipped me with a variety of new skills.”

Maria moved to Chesterfield in 2006 and whilst bringing up the kids bought and sold music online.

Once the kids got more independent, she was on the lookout for a new challenge.

“Chesterfield had lost both its music shops by now, Hudsons and then HMV. I always reckoned that if Hudsons could have hung on a bit longer they would have outlasted HMV. “Every time we walked around town, I’d comment that this or that location would make a perfect records shop and it just happened that we walked past what is now our Soresby Street premises and I plucked up the courage to phone the contact number in the window.

“I loved the feel of the place, it was about the right size, on an old, cobbled street and although not

right in the middle of town was close enough. The landlord was supportive, the bank manager slightly bemused that there was still a market for records!”

The gap in the market and the resurgence that was happening in vinyl was perfect timing for Maria and all that was needed now was a name! It involved many sketches and brainstorming, plus a bit of creative support from Dad and Tallbird Records started to become a reality.

“I opened selling a small rack of new vinyl and the rest was second hand. These were the days when you could still purchase a job lot of albums from ebay for reasonable prices.

“I wanted to ensure I had enough stock and could pay the rent and bills from day one. I was blown away by the response when we opened. The first sale of a used copy of David Bowie's, ‘The Man Who Sold the World’ confirmed the great taste of Chesterfield’s music lovers and I did get excited when I saw the first day's takings, but soon came to realise that this wasn't going to happen every day!”

Now ten years on, the sales floor has doubled in size, the basement is full of used stock to bring upstairs, and sales are still good, with new vinyl accounting for around 50% of sales and 75% of takings.

I asked why Maria thought people have moved back to vinyl? “I think it’s nostalgia for many,” she suggested. “Many customers are middle aged or older, wanting to reconnect with their youth and the excitement of going into a record shop to buy the latest releases. I don’t think people ever got the same connection to CD’s; they’re just not as appealing as a product to get excited over.

“Vinyl is obviously analogue and arguably sounds better than digital CDs, plus some research suggests that analogue sound (and therefore vinyl) is good for your health because your brain doesn't have to work so hard to fill in the gaps of digitised music which is made up of 0s and 1s! The artwork, inner sleeves, gatefolds, colour vinyl etc all create interest and allow you to own something engaging and collectible.

“Of course, we also have many younger customers too. A part of the whole vinyl revival was the hipness factor, it was enough just to own a record.

You just had to be seen with it, and many records were bought by people who had no ability to listen to them.

“These days owing to factors such as the pandemic there has unfortunately been big increases in price on a lot of new vinyl. What was once an affordable treat is now more of a luxury purchase. I’ve seen recently that many of our

Page 11

Business younger customers are starting to turn to CDs which we also stock - they want to support the acts they love by buying and owning their releases and not just streaming them. Taylor Swift still sells in huge numbers, but a £12 CD is more affordable than a £40 album.

“Streaming still leads the way for new music,” says Maria. “I listen to Spotify's new music on Mondays, this was how I found Wet Leg before they hit the spotlight. They are my new favourite band - it takes a lot to catch my attention, but I think they have the formula just right, their look and personality bring the whole package together so well.”

Maria's tastes are grounded in the late 70s and early 80s, starting with the Osmonds and the Bay City Rollers when she was a teeny bopper and progressing to punk, new wave and indie as her taste in music improved and Blondie is her all-time favourite band Maria is very supportive of local artists, Lewis Young (My Pleasure) performed in store over the first Peddler Market weekend, it was a most memorable performance, I was there and look forward to seeing My Pleasure again at some point soon.

Check out the promotions opposite to help celebrate 10 years ofTallbird Records and if you love your music or know someone who does, be sure to call in and check out Tallbird Records, one of town's best loved independent businesses.

Check the website for opening hours as these are soon to be extended. There's also a generous loyalty card scheme, plenty of cheap new vinyl offers, many of the new and latest new releases on vinyl and CD and a great range of second-hand vinyl, CDs and even cassettes, what's not to like?!! Oh, and they are open on Records Fair Sundays 10am - 2pm, typically the second Sunday of every month.

One last question for Maria. Are there any records you're still searching for yourself? “I collect Blondie 7” singles and although I've got over 140 of them from all around the world, there are still one or two which are eluding me!

They're the ultra-rare, crazy expensive ones from places like Uruguay and Thailand though, so chances of them ever turning up in town are slim to say the least...”

Full Fat Fear

By Kai Undrell

Words: Paul Chapman

F

ull Fate Fear is the latest EP release from Kai Undrell, for release on Friday 13 October… very Halloweeny, so what’s it all about?

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Kai, he talked film making with the release of Stand-Up in 2019 and more recently in spring 21 we discussed his music release Can of Worms.

What’s Full Fat Fear all about I asked. “I suppose it’s a comment on ‘New Age Anxiety’, I describe it not as a narrative but a collection of doomsday bops.

“I tend to focus on the dark and deep, maybe it’s a post COVID thing. I started writing the tunes at Christmas 2022 so yes, perhaps the themes are influenced by being locked in for so long - the themes of isolation are what relate to covid “Life changed very quickly, how we communicated took a different format. It was a crazy time, makes you realise how fragile everything is, the things we take for granted can change so quickly and can apply to anything and everything. Yes, a strange time” answers Kai. I took a listen to the first five tracks via Kai’s soundcloud press link and it still amazes me to hear such complete songs that can be achieved from the bedroom. On reflection I suppose the same is true of this magazine you’re reading! No massive group of people, just me plugging away at my keyboard and sending it to print (thanks to my delivery team must be mentioned though).

Page 14

What’s the process like working alone? “Most of the time I’m responsible for about 95% of the final edit. I’m writing, playing, singing, producing.

There are others involved, Harri Larkin for vocals on Lose Your Nature, a credit to a friend for a line he contributed some five years ago but it’s then all handed over to Daniel Svetlof in Greece who brings life to the production.”

With the subject matter being anxiety and working alone don’t these two bring with them huge pressures? “Writing is an outlet for me” says Kai. “I’m known in circles around here as a video guy, so music is actually my side thing, the thing that releases the pressure.”

“I’m not conscious of working alone, it just works for me. I put Full Fat Fear together this year, writing in the evening, a way to step back and think about the experiences of the day, to get some lyrics down and put this to music.”

It must be difficult to create your own unique sound, with so many songs out there now it must be hard to stand alone. “For me writing music is just something I do, it’s going around in my head all the time, my influences are many and I’m not trying to create my own sound, it just works out that way.

“Sometimes I might start out with an ABBA feeling to a song, but the result simply takes direction from this. Irrespective of where your influences are there will always be something that shapes what

www.chesterfieldlocal.com

I do but I think it’s a kind of natural process that results, no pressure to sound one way or the other.

“At the moment there is a lot of good original music locally, there is so much happening, so many people are writing and performing, it’s a good time to be a musician.”

Kai films with upcoming bands, creating unique videography, being part of the Sheffield scene and culture, supporting each other in what they are doing, a creative melting pot. Kai doesn’t play his own music live, but he does play live, all his friends are musicians and he’s no stranger to filling in for them when need be.

I asked why he doesn’t play his own stuff live?

“It’s the same reason I wouldn’t put one of my films on stage, when you record everything is as I want it, so when you listen it’s how I expect it to be. Live gigs are dependent on so many elements, audience, mixing, etc, all of which can’t always be controlled.”

God Save You and 'Reaching out for a better than average place, something other than the coldhearted human race' from Lose Your nature.

The EP is released is on Friday 13 October, purposely timed nicely with Halloween, strategically it aligned well with the timescale, but it helps to have a record called Full Fat Fear out in the month associated with all things spooky.

So, what next? “I just aim to keep going; I feel as if I’m building a bit of a universe up visually and sonically, so the goal is to expand it more and more. Put it down to escapism.”

Take a listen to Kai’s work using the links below, it’ll help towards the 1M Spotify streams he’ll need to earn just £4,000! Its feels like a tough life in the music industry. @KaiUndrellMusic Kai Undrell bit.ly/kai-undrell

As I listened to Kai’s EP and felt that I was listening to something very much ‘of the moment’, it has a familiar but unique sound. I’m a kid or the 70/80s so the electronic sound appeals but it’s grouped with a more up to date 20’s vocal performance. I like it.

With writing being so important I asked what’s his favourite lyrics from the EP, 'God save you and the people who died inside in this hell-on-Earth existence where no creature could survive' from Please Mention S40 Local Magazine

1st Class Kitchens ...

& Bedrooms Words: Paul Chapman Images: 1st Class Kitchens

t’s no big secret but did you know that 1st Class Kitchens do bedrooms as well as kitchens? 1st Class Kitchens have been in business for almost 20 years and from the start have offered a full bedroom design and installation service. “We can offer everything needed,” says Helen Oxley from 1st Class Kitchens.

“We offer a complete end to end service that includes, planning and designing your new room to your exact requirements, we put a quote together, can offer 3D renderings, and will then order and install your bespoke room and complete the job offering a decorating service and we can even include the soft furnishings.”

“The focus of the business has always been on kitchens,” explains Helen, “but we’ve also offered bedrooms from day one. More recently we’ve seen an increased interest in our bedroom installations so it’s timely to remind people.”

1st Class always pride themselves on delivering a high-quality job and a new range of stylish solid wood and vinyl doors enables them to offer some fantastic options for the bedroom. “All our carcases are rigid 18mm wood and with 8mm backing they create a really solid installation, something that will enhance any space for years to come,” says Helen.

I can’t visit 1st Class Kitchens without at least getting an update on the latest kitchen styles and tech.

As always there are new designs, “shaker painted styles are selling well, deep blues and greens are becoming more popular with a light marble worktop to compliment them,” says Helen.

“The new Otto design is a stylish plain door in wood veneer, with either a horizontal or vertical grain, lacquered or painted to match any interior.”

The new Studio Line range of ovens from Siemens (shown opposite) look stunning, deep black glass with gloss black glass handles that are almost hidden, “you get the effect that the handles aren’t there, it’s a very sleek and contemporary look. The warming drawers are just a plain black glass panel with no handles or branding,” Helen adds.

Page 18

The Neff Collection ovens feature a detachable knob and a touch screen, but you can place a control knob on the panel which allows you to twist the knob to control the functions like a more conventional oven, you can then take it off and pop it away. The Collections range also has multiplecoloured trims available that allow you to tone the ovens to match your colour scheme, these also give the impression that multiple appliances are one single unit (shown opposite), all very smart.

Right now Bosch, Neff and Siemens have a cashback scheme that could save you up to £1,500 (Ts & Cs apply).

Next up is Bosch. If you’re a fan of air frying, their new ovens come equipped with an air frying option and are now offering a free tray to ensure your food is cooked to perfection every time.

Next year will see big celebrations at 1st Class Kitchens as they will have been in business for 20 years, a long-established family run business with a team of time-honoured trades people. With many happy customers locally, chances are you will probably know someone who’s had one of their kitchens.

1st Class Kitchens are members of KBSA, that’s the Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom Specialist Association, a group of certified members that adhere to a stringent list of criteria that applies to all their work and gives customers a level of security that they are working with a business that will deliver a quality job.

If you are thinking of updating the bedroom or kitchen, pop into 1st Class Kitchens showroom on Derby Road where Helen and Dave and daughter Charlotte will help put plans in place.

Business Intro

The Shiatsu Bus @the shiatsu bus Words: Paul Chapman Images: Dan Smith

T

oday nothing is more important than our personal wellbeing. For many of us, the way we feel, whether mentally or physically, has taken a beating through COVID and many are struggling to get back on track.

Shiatsu is a physical therapy that uses a combination of pressure points, gentle manipulation, and stretching to re-energise weak areas and reduce tension in the body. By applying sensitive, mindful, static touch with thumbs, fingers, and palms, the Shiatsu giver affects the functioning of physical systems such as the nervous, circulatory, and respiratory, thus supporting the body’s innate self-healing abilities and promoting a sense of relaxation and wellbeing. Academic research indicates that Shiatsu is safe and can reduce a wide range of symptoms, improving quality of life and reducing dependency on medication. Shiatsu touch, in its stillness, depth, and gentle compassion, is able to support the whole person.

ago I set up The Shiatsu Bus,a purpose-built mobile treatment clinic, Shiatsu on wheels! I did operate from a local clinic but it didn’t suit me and the bus allows me to go to client's homes, without the need for them to take valuable time out of their day to travel, find parking, visit a clinic, and then return home. This is far too time-consuming for many and inhibitive for those who don't live near to a local therapist or may have mobility issues.”

“Shiatsu helps by stimulating the body’s own healing capacity, I act as a facilitator to help release tension, the cause of pain for so many, and allow the body to restore and return to a balanced state. It can be used to help aid so many symptoms such as those associated with fibromyalgia, digestive problems, anxiety, depression, stress, and much more.”

Dan Smith owns and runs The Shiatsu Bus, a purpose-built mobile well-being clinic that brings the relaxation and healing benefits of Shiatsu massage to you, so you don't have to take valuable time out of your day to visit a therapist.

“I moved to Chesterfield in February but am originally from Derby and studied the three-year Shiatsu course in Sheffield,” explains Dan. " I went for Shiatsu treatments to help with my own symptoms and was so impressed by the impact the sessions had on my own health I decided I wanted to know more about this traditional Japanese massage therapy.

“This led me to study for three years at the Northern School of Shiatsu in Sheffield, and I started my own practice eight years ago. Six years Page 20

www.chesterfieldlocal.com

I had no knowledge of Shiatsu before I met Dan and he explained to me how Shiatsu uses similar principles to acupuncture. It is a dynamic bodywork treatment that involves stretching and rotation of joints, often described as acupuncture without needles and is performed fully clothed. Shiatsu translates as 'finger pressure' from the Japanese and is a deeply relaxing massage therapy that promotes restorative sleep.

“Many of my patients suffer from back and muscle pain. As our bodies age things do become more difficult and Shiatsu enables me to cater to individual clients' needs, from very gentle to more dynamic techniques depending on the symptoms and constitution of the client.

“Treatments are suitable for all ages, and I have a special interest in treating the over 50s. Shiatsu is particularly effective at dealing with the ailments that come to us all as we age, putting people back on track so they can live life to the full.” Although his client's ages range from 18 to 85, Dan jokes that, “It feels like this particular age group is becoming a bit of a specialism.”

I was picking up that Shiatsu is about living a better quality of life, lifting your mood, releasing tension, helping people whose lives are limited by a health condition, and allowing us to get back to doing what we enjoy doing, whether that’s walking the dog, playing with the grandkids, a game of tennis or simply pushing the lawn mower up and down the garden.

If you fancy a Shiatsu massage session, give Dan a call, he’s a fully insured member of the Shiatsu Society and by bringing the clinic to you, you can be sure of a full hour of therapy to get you set up for the life you want to lead.

"I have been having regular sessions with Dan for a few months now & really feel the benefits. I suffer from a lot of pain & stiffness due to MS and feel so much better after a session.

The treatment is painless and very relaxing - I sleep well after my session! I currently have fortnightly treatments, and with Dan being mobile, it means I just have to walk out the door and into the van - no waiting for taxis or looking for parking spaces!

So glad I found this service and can highly recommend it - Dan is friendly and puts you at ease."

Keep It Local The impact of choosing a small independent business.

Words: Paul Chapman Images: White No Sugar Productions & Totally Locally

F

or our immediate economy to continue to thrive, we need to carefully consider our purchasing decisions, so it seems ever more important to support our local businesses and our local economy.

I’ve previously mentioned the ‘Tale of a Tenner’ video by White No Sugar Productions which was done for Totally Locally (hover your phone's camera over the quick code below to take you to the video on youtube - or google 'Tale of a Tenner') and it’s worth a watch.

The simple story is, basically a visitor introduces a tenner into a local business and it's then passed around between others before ending back where it started, it never leaves the immediate economy.

Since I started S40 Local over 14 years ago it’s changed the way I think about the stuff we buy and what we can do to make a difference.

Previously, if I needed something, I’d just buy it from the most convenient place, a large retail chain, a supermarket or a faceless internet site, whichever was easiest and/or cheapest.

Today things are different. Recently I spoke about my decision making process when seeking out a new bike for my son. Can I get one Locally? Can I get one made by a local Company? See the last edition for the story, (all editions are on our

Page 24

www.chesterfieldlocal.com

website) but I try my hardest to stay local with my shopping when ever I can.

The flow shown is typical of any small town economy. Totallylocally are this year launching 'Magic Tenner', a campaign (see following pages) to encourage independent businesses to put on £10 offers that show case their products, a chance for people to pick up a bargain and perhaps visit a business they've never been to before.

The campaign runs 7 to 21 October 2023 but as we need to be ready for print so early we only have a small number of confirmed offers from fab local businesses. Look out for more over the fortnight.

Please try and do what you can to support them and please tell them where you saw the offer.

When I first mentioned the 'Tale of a Tenner' it was the first edition of 2019 and I said to consider it a resolution, it's just one way I can make a small difference in 2019.

That message is still as important today as it was when I wrote it over four years ago... to try and encourage each and every one of us to consider where we might be able to make changes and support our immediate economy.

Over to you.

Wild Swimming A Peak District Adventure Words: Simon Paterson Images: Adobe & Jen Brewster

I

f the pandemic taught us one thing, it is that our need to be with nature and the outdoors plays an integral part in our overall happiness. As a result of this, a growing trend has emerged – wild swimming, and the Peak District, often referred to as our back garden, stands as an ideal place to partake in this invigorating activity. With its sweeping landscapes and hidden aquatic gems, the Peak District has become a hot spot for outdoor swimming enthusiasts.

these guides contain parking information, ability levels and ease of access. Prioritise places with mild currents with people around. Take precautions by checking the water temperature and strength before entering. Wetsuits offer great protection and are recommended for beginners to guard against the cold water.

Wild Swimming offers a range of health and wellbeing benefits. Immersing yourself in chilly water stimulates blood circulation and the metabolism, and leaves you feeling refreshed and revitalised. I have used swimming in the past for injury recovery and prevention as it is a low-impact sport that engages all the major muscles.

Body: Listen to your body; if you feel too cold or anxious, exit the water.

Exercise and the great outdoors are often recommended to help combat mental health. Wild Swimming releases endorphins which have a direct effect on our mood leaving us feeling content and relaxed.

During the summer, we enjoy taking the girls for a refreshing swim/paddle in Youlgreave river. This picturesque location has a natural pool with almost still waters, offering a safe and serene swimming experience... and there’s also an ice-cream van at the end of the road!

Before considering an outdoor swim there are some welcoming and informative online communities that you may want to check out.

Sheffield Soup Swimmers regularly organise group swims which are a safe and fun way to start your wild swimming journey and they have a comprehensive location guide. Check out: • Wild Swimming Derbyshire UK • Sheffield Outdoor Plungers • Peak Swims If you have never been wild swimming before it is important you do it safely.

Friends: Always swim with an experienced wild swimmer and/or with a group. It’s more fun and a lot safer.

Leave No Trace: Don’t be a litter lout. Take your rubbish home and leave the area in a better state than you found it.

Weather: Check the weather forecast and avoid swimming in choppy waters. Pick a nice calm day for your first swim.

Practice: If it's been a while since your last swim, head down to Queens Park Leisure to get some practice in before venturing out into open waters.

Enjoy: Take a towel, some high carbohydrate snacks, and a change of clothes, oh and don’t forget the sunscreen!

If after all this you like the sound of an outdoor swim but fancy the waters a little warmer, you can always pop along to the outdoor pool at Hathersage where the water is a toasty 27 degrees!

Disclaimer: Important Notice Regarding Wild Swimming Article The information provided in this article is intended for general information and entertainment purposes only. Engaging in wild swimming, like any outdoor activity, involves inherent risks that can vary depending on location, weather conditions, individual abilities, and other factors.

Anyone wild swimming does so at their own risk.

Location: Check local guides for beginner spots, as not all water that looks tempting is safe and you also need to be aware of access rights. Many of Page 30

Schools Art 2023 Words & Images: Ingrid Stopher, Chesterfield Rotary After the success of the 2022 event, the Rotary Club of Chesterfield and St Andrew’s United Reformed Methodist Church are delighted to announce the 2023 Annual Rotary Chesterfield Schools’ Art Exhibition.

Schools participating last year included St Mary’s Catholic High School, Brookfield Community School, Parkside Community Schools, Outwood Academy Newbold and Outwood Academy Hasland Hall. The event was very well-attended by students from participating schools, parents, friends and other visitors over the exhibition weekend.

Judges Dr Vicky Sharples, art lecturer, and the Reverend Caroline Andrews chose 8 prize winners from the exhibition of outstanding work. Logan Tattersall, student at Outwood Academy Newbold, was presented with the Gordon Award prize in memory of former Ian Gordon, Elder, Rotarian and founder of the exhibition, and certificates of merit were presented by the Mayor of Chesterfield.

Craig Longmuir, Head of Art at St Mary’s, said last year’s exhibition was a huge success and an amazing opportunity to showcase students’ work.

The upcoming exhibition is on display Saturday 21 (11am to 4pm) and Sunday 22 October (1 to 4pm) at St Andrew’s United Reformed Methodist Church, Newbold Road.

The opening ceremony and presentation of Certificates will take place at 10am on Saturday 21 October. All welcome!

Green Houses Free advice & inspiration for greener homes Words & Images: Transition Chesterfield

With autumn upon us and colder temperatures fast approaching, there are three free events planned in September/October to provide advice and encouragement to folk who want to reduce their energy bills and carbon footprint.

Eco Homes Open Event. The homes have a range of energy saving and low carbon improvements such as internal wall insulation, air source heat pumps and solar panels to small but effective measures costing little money. The owners will be on hand to chat about their experience in creating more eco-friendly homes.

However there are a lot of barriers to retrofitting such measures in existing homes, or misunderstandings about technologies.

Visitors can have a good look at the insulation or technology and ask the home-owners questions.

By visiting real homes and hearing stories from people like themselves, visitors can overcome knowledge or perception barriers and be helped to take steps towards improving their own homes.

Home energy advice at the new Eco Hub There will be free home energy advice available from Transition Chesterfield’s new Eco Hub off New Square on Friday 29 September 10am to 12:30pm. Independent energy charity Marches Energy Agency will be on hand to answer questions and provide top tips and info for further support.

'Grand Designs’ architect talk at the library A north Derbyshire architect who has appeared on television’s ‘Grand Designs’ will be sharing expert advice on how to make homes more comfortable and energy efficient. Richard Lomas will be giving his timely talk on ‘Greener Homes: reducing energy demand through low-energy design’ at Chesterfield Library on 3 October, at 7:30pm.

His presentation will feature several projects in Derbyshire and South Yorkshire in which existing homes have had energy saving measures installed. A Q&A session will follow the talk.

Richard’s company Lomas and Mitchell Architects based at Markham Vale, specialises in designing low energy, healthy, beautiful homes.

Eco Homes Open Event Later that week 9 ‘eco homes’ of all shapes and sizes in the Chesterfield area will be open to the public on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 October for an Page 36

One of the organisers from Transition Chesterfield said: “We want to give people some ideas and inspiration ranging from small improvements to deep retrofits. Visiting a home is a great way to find out about the reality of getting solar panels, insulation, triple glazing, or air source heat pumps without talking to a salesman. You can have a good look at the technology, ask the residents whether the installation was a hassle, and find out how much they’re really saving on their energy bills as a result.”

Booking for the Eco Home visits is essential as times and spaces are limited. See: transitionchesterfield.org.uk/eco-homes So if you’re thinking of installing some insulation, solar panels or doing other eco improvements but aren’t sure where to start or have questions come along to these events.

Local community group Transition Chesterfield is organizing these events. Visit the link below for details of these events including booking. transitionchesterfield.org.uk For even more choice of homes to visit, there is a similar Eco Homes Open Event in the Hope Valley that same weekend. hopevalleyclimateaction.org.uk

YHA: 1957 Words & Images: Wilf James Following our brief mention in the last edition of the sad closure of many of the Youth Hostel Association sites I received an email and picture from Wilf James from Holymoorside, telling me about his YHA experiences back in the 50s.

Thanks Wilf, I love the pic and many thanks for letting us share it... but why is there a bike hanging from a tree?

'Your comment about Youth Hostel Association closures, ’society has succumbed…….brought back many happy memories of my teen age years, particularly six years of cycling and youth hostelling.

This photograph was taken in 1956/57. The photographer was Olwyn. She was celebrating her twenty-first birthday with a weekend at the Chester YHA hostel.

Members unable to join us had started their National Service, consisting of two years of compulsory military service.

The smiles on everyone's face is a good indication of the happy relationships.

In 1958, I started my National Service, being drafted into an Infantry Regiment. Later that year, I was in Malaya undergoing further training, specialising in Jungle Warfare. In 1959, the Regiment was stationed in Singapore for ‘Internal Security Duties’.

I’m on the back row, centre on a friend’s shoulders, my friend in a dark jersey, to my left.

Wilf James.'

The balance of the number of girls and boys is fairly even, a few more girls.

The full group was approximately thirty-five members.

Chesterfield Walking Football Club Defibrillator Gift A local engineering company, United Cast Bar Ltd, in partnership with CorMed-DX, has donated two defibrillators to Chesterfield’s Senior Spireites Walking Football Club following a traumatic event at a recent match where one of the players suffered a cardiac arrest.

Fortunately, one of the other players knew how to do CPR whilst another player got access to the Club’s only defibrillator unit. The player, Mel, suffering from the cardiac arrest had stopped breathing, it was only the timely actions of the other players that saved his life.

The experience made Malc Perks, Chair of the Senior Spireites, realise that the club needed better access to defibrillators (AEDs) for other locations where they play and for social trips that members attend. Malc said “seeing first hand how vital this piece of equipment was in saving Mel’s life made me realise that we needed other units for use at all our events and matches. I reached out to United Cast Bar as I live very close to their factory in Chesterfield and I got a response from their MD, James Brand within 24 hours, which was fantastic.”

By coincidence, James had a contact with a company who make the world’s first portable Defibrillators – CellAED, and was able to source two devices within a week.

Malc Perks said, “James, United Cast Bar and the supplier CorMed-DX have been very quick to respond to my request which means that our members will be better protected at future events. Our experience shows that we were lucky to have someone, Rob Church, who knew how to do CPR. To make sure that others can do the same thing in future we are having several of our members enrol on CPR courses. I would urge all sporting clubs to make sure that they have access to a defibrillator, know how to use it, and have people in the club who are CPR trained.

Thank You After we featured the Ben Vernon Charity Ride we received a quick thanks from Nigel, Ben's dad.

"Just to let you know, the charity ride made £1,251.58 this year, which we think is magnificent, considering the financial crisis we are enduring at the moment.

"We would just like to thank you for publicising the ride in S40 and S41 Local, and a big thank you to everyone who donated.

We will be holding the ride in September next year, as we realise July is a very busy month with other events, so hopefully we will attract more riders in September.

Thanks once again.

Nigel."

Allotment Improvements West Ward Leisure Gardens, an allotment site on Rhodesia Road, would like to pass on their thanks to local councillors who have helped with funding.

Pamela Turner, secretary of the association, says, "we are very fortunate recently, having been awarded some community funding from that has enabled us to have a new gate fitted and some new 'cattle water troughs' to enable our water supply to be more environmentally friendly.

"We would like to pass on our thanks for the assistance that encourages people to 'grow their own' on local allotment sites.

The Chesterfield-based Senior Spireites Walking Football Club are the oldest walking football team in the world and play 4 times a week in Dronfield and Hasland.

What's On

Apple Day Sunday 1 October Monkey Park, Chester Street Words & Images: Transition Chesterfield Many fruit trees produce masses of fruit at Autumn but it often happens that much of it shrivels on the trees or lies rotting on the ground. Transition Chesterfield’s Abundance project aims to tackle that by using volunteers to pick any unwanted fruit and then organising apple pressing events to juice the fruit.

This year, for the first time, they will be holding an Apple Day at Monkey Park on Sunday 1 October from 1 to 5pm.

There will be an array of apple pressing equipment in Monkey Park itself and visitors will be able to watch and help with the scratting and juicing of the surplus apples and take away cartons of juice for later use. They can also bring along their own surplus and get it juiced. Any apples brought in should ideally be washed beforehand and even, if possible, cut into quarters to save time. Also start saving bottles and cartons to collect the juice and take it away now. Also planned will be a small stall to swap or sell unwanted jam, pickle and juicing equipment.

Events over half term will include an exciting new Smoothie Bike – come along and find out how it works.

Further dates for apple pressing with additional activities: Inspire Community Garden Sunday 8 October (11am to 1pm)

Inside the Monkey Park hub there will be cookery demonstrations for people to join in with.

Eastwood Park, Hasland Tuesday 31 October (11am o 3pm)

Activities include apple sauce making as a vegan alternative, chutney making, and Polish Apple Cake.

King George V Playing Fields, Staveley Wednesday 1 November (11am to 3pm

There will be opportunities for some people to have a go whilst others will be able to observe.

Spaces will be limited for this, so get in touch if you’re definitely interested.

Singing is good for you!

Everyone agrees that singing is good for us so why not come along to Chesterfield Philharmonic Choir this autumn?

Based in the historical Derbyshire town of Chesterfield, the choir performs four public concerts each year in various venues, including the famous Crooked Spire where they are concert choir in residence. There is also our annual Choral Day to which everyone is invited, and 2024 will see the choirs 25th anniversary; this year they will be singing the wonderfully evocative Requiem by Mozart with soloists and orchestra.

Rehearsals begin on Thursday 31 August in the Central Methodist Church, Chesterfield, 7:15 to 9:30pm, in preparation for the performance on 11 November 2023 at 3pm in St Thomas’s Church, Brampton of, among others, John Rutter’s Requiem.

So why get along on the 31 August and see if it’s for you. You can be assured of a very warm welcome!

Garden Tips

I

f you have heavy clay soil, make a start on digging it over, leaving the lumps to be broken down by frost over winter. If you have any compost, which will improve the soil structure, incorporate it as you go.

GARDEN TIPS Words: Transition Chesterfield Images: Robert Nixon Betts

When leaves have fallen then this is the time to give your soft fruit, blackcurrants, blackberries and all the hybrids some shaping while they are dormant.

Remember that next year's fruit will appear on the previous year’s growth, e.g. raspberries and blackcurrants.

When your crops of tomatoes etc. have finished, thoroughly clean greenhouses and cold frames while the days are still warm enough for them to dry out.

Birds (especially pigeons) are fond of leafy green vegetables, so deter them with netting or lengths of black thread tightly stretched across and around the plants.

Keep harvesting runner and French beans, many vegetables (including courgettes) will keep trying to produce more as long as they’re not allowed to set seed - it’s the same principle as dead-heading ornamental plants. There comes a time when they really have finished, so cut them off at ground level, leaving the roots, which will have collected valuable nitrogen, in the ground.

Plant over-wintering onion sets and garlic and continue to sow winter lettuces start in modules under cover (there are several varieties with varying degrees of hardiness: lamb’s lettuce, Winter Density, Valdor and All the Year Round are just a few).

Now is a good time to think about ordering new fruit trees and moving existing ones (and shrubs) while the ground is still warm.

Keep on top of tidying jobs but leave as many ornamental seed-heads as possible; they can look good, especially frosted, and provide food for birds. Attracting these to the garden can also help with pest control, as they will eat the eggs and larvae of some nuisance bugs.

Houseplants will need watering less often, and don't need to be fed any more this year.

Cover ponds with nets before heavy leaffall clogs them up – remember to remove the collected leaves before they weigh the net down or start to rot.

S

o the new season has kicked off and what a game the opener was against Dorking!

As you're probably aware it ended 4-3 and that was a surprise given at the 90th minute, it was 3-2. The added 13 minutes injury time helped the goal tally. Luckily there weren't any permanent injuries to the Spireites which is good. If you read my article last month I was sharing my fears of us picking up injuries to derail our final season in this league. I lost count how many times Dobra hit the deck but I think most of his were orchestrated to be honest… he fooled me each time so he may win at the Oscars this year.

As the games came and went the goals followed.

At the time of writing there's been 37. Sounds good doesn't it, and it would be even better if Page 62

we hadn't conceded 15 of them. But at least we are joint top of the league, Barnet just above on goal difference. Speaking of which, I bumped into Chesterfield born Zak Brunt at a recent wedding I photographed. Anyway, we climbed up there after just seven games and none of them had a zero in the final score. We scored four against Fylde, two against Oxford, three against Hartlepool and four away at Aldershot. All these games we earned all three points. So far we've drawn one and lost only once, but we still scored in each game.

Again just like last season there were numerous goal scorers, Mandeville, Grimes, Grigg, Naylor, Colclough, Quigley and Palmer to name a few.

Naylor did what usually happens to us and scored his goal to win the Hartlepool game in stoppage

time. The 94th minute to be precise. Mental is the word for that game! After just seven minutes of the game we were 2 nil down and to be honest I thought we were going to get battered as I was sitting there with my camera in hand.

But to the Spireites credit we didn't , by the 15th minute Colclough had netted a quick reply and then two minutes after the start of the second half, Grimes headed in the equalizer.

Now my only gripe about watching the Spireites play this season is that they do seem to be a bit predictable. They try the ball down the left, come back in the middle, then try down the right. Then try down the left again and go to the middle again and they try down the right. Then they return to the left and return to the right. Call me old fashioned but why not just take the odd shot from outside the box for a change, test the opposition's keeper? I'm no footballing expert by any stretch of the imagination but you need a plan B if plan A isn't working. But having said that, plan A does help with the olde camera work when you know where the balls are going to end up.

Being objective though, we do win games so maybe I’m being picky. But a shot from outside the box once in a while would be nice to witness as a spectator.

The game with Dagenham and Redbridge was a hot day at the office and even though we played plan A footy again, we won. We conceded in the first half but in the second half scored three to win 3-1. We did come back from behind again which is a sign that we've evolved from recent Years, we don't seem to panic and give up. So you could say, repetition has its good points (three in fact) and winning is the most important thing. It may be predictable to watch but the results keep coming, which in turn renders my previous comments pointless. But I do hear other Spireites pointing this out. Especially during the home games as operation plan A is underway, "Shoot!" as the ball is played across the 20 yard line. This time however a free kick and penalty brought us back into the game from Colclough and Griggs, with Banks' third sealing the three points ironically from outside the box. I guess in the 97th minute being 2-1 up you can throw caution to the wind.

The Spireites league position changed during the game too from 2nd, to 5th backup to 2nd so it's tight at the top.

Let's keep up the best plan of winning this league and lifting the trophy at home.

COYBs!
