Hi all, It’s that time of year again when I start to think about seasons. Each year the local trails I ride have about two weeks, between spring and summer, and again summer and autumn where they’re perfect - they’re not overgrown, they’re not overly muddy, they’re nice and grippy and all things are good.

Now is also when the nights start drawing in, the leaves start to drop, and we think about things like Halloween and dare I say it... Christmas!

I’ve already had my first advertiser get in touch for their annual run of three adverts, as Christmas approaches, to encourage you away from the internet and into their business to buy gifts! I've also had service based businesses update their adverts to tell customers it’s the last chance to get booked in for delivery before Christmas.

It's also a nice seasonal sign to see the boxes and bags of apples people have gathered from their trees and left outside their homes for us to take and use. My wife's apple and blackberry compote, that she has on her porridge every morning, comes as a free treat from the homes and hedgerows of the area!

Last up... on a recent walk to Yorkshire moors I was reminded of Chesterfield. The picture above was near the Hole of Horcum, known as the Yorkshire Grand Canyon. It's well worth a walk if you're ever close and you want to feel that connection to Chesterfield.

Enjoy this edition.

Jay Flux Cover artist

Words: Simon Paterson Images: Jay Flux

I am super excited to share with you this month's cover artist, and my friend, Jason Tony Hopkinson, or Jay for short!

up my own bands and do an album cover for them, and a logo and that kind of thing,” shares Jay.

You might have spotted Jay’s impressive craftsmanship at Street Spirit and Zero Tattoo Gallery in town, or Tan Monkey on Chatsworth Road. As the creative genius behind Elphius Flux, he’s one of Chesterfield’s top custom-designed Furniture makers. From tables and cabinets to kitchens, Jay’s work is nothing short of remarkable. He’s also an immensely talented artist and an all-around fantastic human. S40 and S41 magazines are excited to introduce him, and feel privileged to showcase his talent to our readers!

A band recently approached Jay, and we are pleased to share that he has been commissioned to create their album cover!

We can’t wait to see it.

Jay’s artistic flare was influenced by his granddad whom he recalls was an amateur artist. “Thinking back, I have always enjoyed art. I remember my grandad being great at drawing and watching him.

I recall he drew a lot of dogs and faces.

My dad used to work at a place in Barrow Hill called Tops Office and he would take home... do you remember the old, perforated computer printer paper that was in one big sheet? Well, he’d bring that home and I would draw these giant space battles across this continuous piece of paper, and I loved it,” smiles Jay. Drawing was a big part of Jay’s childhood, and his friends would often come over to draw together. In his teenage years, his second passion was music and that’s when he began to combine the two.

“What really kicked off my art was getting into music and looking at album covers. I would stare in awe at these album covers and copy bits of them. Then I would make Page 4

Chesterfield Boys Secondary School had the pleasure of Jay’s rebellious phase, with his long hair and eyeliner which was frowned upon at the time, but it was the art teacher Mr Searcy who saw something in Jay’s art that helped him pursue his passion.

“School wasn’t great for me, but I loved doing art and I was the only one in the class who took it seriously; so, the art teacher liked me and spent loads of time with me in class. I remember I did a portrait that Mr. Searcy loved, and he put it up in school. Minutes later the headmaster came along and took it down. I just don’t think he liked me and my appearance. I also remember speaking with the careers guidance counsellor and I said I either want to be a rock star or make artwork for album covers, plan A and plan B. She preferred her plan C! After leaving school, Jay took on a variety of jobs before starting Elphius Flux with his partner Gwen. During lockdown, he rediscovered his love for creating art.

“During lockdown, we started using a giant fake cactus as our Christmas tree and decided to make our own ornaments for it," says Jay. "At the time, Tyler and Jord (my daughter and fiancé) were living with us, so we all made decorations together. I was making these little wooden monsters and using acrylic pens to draw on them.

Cover Artist I remember thinking, ‘These look alright, I’m happy with these,’ and then I really got into it. I even drew on a guitar I found. I think discovering acrylic paint pens played a big part - I just started drawing on all sorts of things.”

Jay has a very distinctive style, so I asked him, how did it come about? “I had a spell of being really technical and trying to get fine detail into my work which became frustrating at times. I had a big break before I discovered acrylic pens and it’s those pens and my love for music that influences my art really. I put on my headphones, and I go into a different world. I never plan a piece, I just start!

At the end of the day, if I enjoy doing it, that’s the main thing,” says Jay. I had time to ask Jay one last question: If you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be?

“Look after your teeth more, ha ha! But honestly, I wouldn’t recommend that he do anything differently, because if I did, I wouldn’t be living the life I am now - creating art and having my amazing, supportive family,” Jay says with a smile.

I loved Jay’s art that much that I asked him to use his magic pens on our stairs. Everyone that comes to our home stops to admire them and wishes they had thought of asking him first!

April Tapes Chesterfield's indie rock revivalists, ready to take off!

Words: Simon Paterson Images: April Tapes

While standing at the counter of Society Coffee shop and Bar, waiting for my flat white, a young woman strolled in, exuding the effortlessly cool vibe of a Sonic Youth band member. Instantly, I knew she was here for the April Tapes interview.

We ventured upstairs and were met by a floppyhaired, baggy-clothed youth who looked like I did in 1994, and I said to myself 'this is gonna be a good one.'

April Tapes are an indie rock and roll band made up of Henry Wright (lead guitar and vocals), Bethan Evans (bass and vocals), Angus Marnoch (soon departing drummer) and Max Stokes (guitar, vocals, and song writing). I first met Henry backstage at the Y Not Festival, where we struck up a conversation. It turns out he's a former pupil of Brookfield Community School, and April Tapes are rising stars right here in Chesterfield! After exchanging digits, I'm thrilled to share with you an interview with April Tapes - one of the coolest bands to emerge from Chesterfield in a long time!

I asked the band how they came together - how did they form? After hearing a vague tale involving Somersall Park, school days, someone named Vardy, a video by Henry, a band called Private Reg and a few mutual friends, I pieced it all together.

Basically, they met somewhere around here, at some point, and decided to form a band!

I pressed on. So, where did the name April Tapes come from? Max grinned, “I’d written some songs for another band I was in during Easter break at uni. We booked studio time to record them, but the band decided they were done! So, I stashed the tracks in a folder called ‘April Tapes.’ We formed around that time too, so it felt like a fresh start, and let's be honest, it’s a pretty cool name.”

Bethan chimed in, “I think it’s an ambiguous name, you know? Like, you can’t really guess what we sound like just from the name.”

I nodded in agreement - it is a cool name. And it’s a refreshing change from bands naming themselves after products found in the middle aisle of Aldi!

Page 10

www.chesterfieldlocal.com

So, who writes the songs and what is the creative process? Max starts, “It has been primarily me, but as the band has progressed it has become more of a collaborative process. I come up with the melody, a rough drum part and some lyrics. Our new songs though, which I think are our best, have been a team effort.”

“I do all the production in the living room at my mum’s house,” smiles Henry.

If there’s one thing April Tapes knows how to nail, it’s a chorus. The three tracks on Spotify (link below) all have infectious choruses that switch things up and thump along like an Olympian's heartbeat - purposeful and full of passion. It’s tough to pick a favourite, and it’s exciting to know more are on the way!

The track "Cactus Flower" has a lyric that caught my ear: "Why can’t we do anything sober?"

Bethan laughs, “It was early days for the band, and things were a bit awkward, so we’d have a drink to loosen up and shake off the nerves.”

Henry smirks, “After a few sessions, I had enough and shouted, ‘WHY CAN’T WE DO ANYTHING SOBER?’” It was pretty funny, so we decided to put it in the song.”

“It fits the context of the song as well. It’s about a young relationship where it’s all a bit messy and you aren’t connecting so you have drink and it makes things worse,” explains Max. “We’re all mates now and have a good laugh together, so our songs are written sober - most of ’em, anyway,” Henry assures me with a grin.

“We’re like a Venn diagram,” says Bethan. “There’s a sweet spot where we overlap on certain bands and genres, but we’ve all got our little sub-genres too. It just works.”

“It’s Led Zeppelin for me at the minute, I listen to them all the time,” declares Henry.

“Someone said we sound a bit like Weezer, Pinegrove, and Pavement,” adds Bethan.

“Yeah, I love that sort of midwestern-emo sound,” Max chimes in. “If I had to pinpoint a vibe or a time, we’re essentially a ’90s band."

“There’s a lot of post-punk around at the minute.

Well, we’re post-post-punk,” Bethan laughs.

With time for one last question, I asked who they’d invite to join the band, past or present. Without missing a beat, Henry says, “Bonzo, the drummer from Led Zeppelin. We need a drummer, and he’s the one.”

April Tapes are eternally grateful to Y Not Festival for giving them the chance to play at such a beloved event.

“Playing Y Not was unreal,” Bethan expresses.

“We were on early, but we still had a big crowd. It was an amazing experience.”

It was an absolute blast chatting with Max, Bethan, and Henry. I have no doubt big things are coming their way. Guys... you’ve got a fan!

Musical tastes can sometimes cause a bit of friction, so I steered the conversation toward influences and favourite bands.

Chesterfield Almshouses

A ‘hidden gem in Chesterfield’ which has supported hundreds of women in need of affordable housing for over 50 years.

Words & Images: Kate Pestridge

The building, which is home to 24 women, was opened at its current location, St Helens, Newbold Road, in 1971, but Chesterfield almshouses have a much longer history – first welcoming people in need as early as 1875.

"The complex is over two floors and is centred around beautiful, mature gardens, there is a communal lounge and a communal laundry room.

There is also lift access and a stair lift.

The almshouses on Saltergate were built in 1875 from a trust provided by the wills of Thomas Large, George Taylor and Sarah Rose. There were 11 houses, administered by the Chesterfield Municipal Trustees for ‘poor persons of good character’.

"Our residents don’t pay rent, but they pay a maintenance fee of approximately £400 per month which, alongside the grants and donations, helps to keep the site running. The fee also covers water, heating, laundry facilities and some social activities.

On demolition in 1971, the women were rehoused in new almshouses on Newbold Road, where the complex is still located today.

"Residents can furnish their own homes, there is in-built storage inside also and residents can decorate their own homes.

What is an Almshouse?

"The almshouses do not, under normal circumstances allow pets, but this can be discussed at the application process.

Almshouses originated in the medieval times; religious orders cared for the poor. These shelters were originally called hospitals or 'bede houses', offering hospitality and shelter. The Almhouse Association website suggests that the oldest almshouse to continue to offer support is the Hospital of St Oswald in Worcester which was established around 990. Created where the brothers could “minister to the sick, bury the dead, relieve the poor and give shelter to travellers who arrived after the city gates had closed at night”.

In later times wealthy landowners created housing to support women in villages, again history suggesting this stretches back to the tenth century for poor, old and distressed people.

Kate Pestridge from Chesterfield United Charities who operate the Chesterfield Almshouse explains.

"At St Helen’s Close we host 24 one bedroom flats and offer accommodation for women only, over the age of 55. Each flat is spacious and consists of a lounge, bedroom, a kitchen, and a bathroom or wet room.

Page 16

"Our stipulations are that all residents must be female, over 55, have a strong Chesterfield connection, have limited financial means and be able to live independently.

"The place is a hidden gem, not many people know it, but our residents are very happy here and describe this place as very safe. What they also enjoy is a wonderful social calendar. This involves trips out to local towns and villages, plus we have weekly coffee mornings, movie afternoons, bingo, yoga, all in the communal lounge, which residents can join if they so desire, but there is no pressure to do so."

Kate told me of one resident who was impacted by the flooding in Brampton last year and had to leave her property. She was rehoused at the Newbold Road site within 24 hours and has remained there since.

www.chesterfieldlocal.com

The manager, Jennette, lives on site and is supported by a part-time assistant, Kate, to ensure the smooth running of the complex.

The charity also owns an additional site of residential bungalows in Hasland and are hoping to bring on board a new site in Calow soon.

If you're an interested lady considering taking space in the almshouses, please contact the team as below.

There is an application process that must be followed, and references will need to be provided, however if you are successful, you might be interested to know that the relaxed environment increases life expectancy by two years on average once entering an almshouse.

As the Nights Draw In… Sat 5 October 2:30pm @Holymoorside Village Hall Images & Imagination: Water & Light

Sometimes your absence is a window and Aesculus Hippocastanum (poems opposite) form part of a new and exciting collaborative project between Chesterfield artist Ian Geary and author/poet Leonie Martin. The idea to work together came about after Ian spotted Leonie’s well-known poem The Crooked Spire of Chesterfield in S40 Local magazine.

Ian initially began working on a tryptich of paintings centred on the Crooked Spire and its place in our Chesterfield community through the ages. Leonie’s bespoke poem: Sometimes your absence is a window responds to the right-hand tryptich panel – Ian’s imaginative synthesis of two stained glass windows, seen from inside the church, depicts ancient Christian imagery in the centre panels surrounded by contrasting modern icons of industry and commerce.

As word spread about their collaboration, Ian and Leonie were invited by Holymoorside & Walton Arts Festival Society to present some of their work at Holymoorside Village Hall. On Saturday 5 October at 2:30pm they will be showcasing 12 paintings/companion poems on the themes of Images & Imagination: Water & Light. There will also be musical interludes by ‘Flutello’ – two flutes and a cello. A donation from proceeds will go to Pathways of Chesterfield, a service for the homeless or those at risk of homelessness.

Of the 12 paintings and poems which will be presented at the October event, Leonie’s poem Aesculus Hippocastanum responds to an autumn-themed painting by Ian (Conkers). Through the words of the poem, the reader is invited to contemplate more deeply on what could easily be taken for granted as a ‘typical autumnal scene’ in the parklands and on the highways and byways of Derbyshire as the nights draw in, temperatures drop, and the last few months of the year unfold.

Ultimately, Ian and Leonie hope to present their shared work in further exhibitions and publish a selection of work in book format. Watch this space!

Sometimes your absence is a window Circular, colour-bled, like a mystical disc suspended in time and place: between red Victorian brick and wind-blown gargoyles.

How will I get across the B6543 to Saint Mary’s Gate when the temporary traffic lights fail? Other times it is bunting – a flutter of red white and blue over once-heaving market stalls halfcobbled zones. And the proof of the pudding is in the eating. But today we feast on cake-less icing sip lukewarm tea from fine-bone China, listen to the voices of Influencers stream self-help doctrines via our backlit, hand-held devices (rectangular, colour-blind) like mystical moths captured in a technical liturgy: between eutopia and tyranny.

Sometimes your absence is a window

Aesculus Hippocastanum Cluster of conkerish selves screams the sweet sheen of sticky afterbirth – fall-born, ripe for burial Why are we here?

Who will we be?

Listen: last jostle of pupilless angst of new-birth cries from spiked wombs, some – half-born, half-dazed – await a full dilation Who are we here?

Why will we be?

Gaze upwards: all the bark-less twigs you cannot see bear wounds from late departed leafstalks like tiny horseshoes branded by elvish nail-marks When are we here?

What will we be?

Trace a finger in the soul-bleached soil – a tapestry of roots unravels. Kneel beneath this once lush canopy hear that leafy manger crunch from gold to brown to beige to mulch to matter Are we seed?

Are we fodder?

Are we bullet?

Meet Barbara Rose Local Textile Artist Words: Paul Chapman Images: Barbara Rose Barbara Rose is a textile artist who moved to Holymoorside in 2022 and is partner to Malcolm, who we featured in our June edition, he ran the 10k for Team GB in his age category.

The final work is presently on display until 13 October 2024 at the Harley Gallery over at Welbeck Abbey near Worksop, 15 minutes from the M1.

Malcolm dropped me a note explaining what Barbara does, so we met up for a chat to find out more, fresh coffee and home-made Anzac biscuits to keep us refreshed!

“I was made aware of the exhibition at the Harley Gallery, local artists of all disciplines are invited to submit works of wall art. I was one of the original 1,800 applicants and was selected by judges to be one of 180 artists that could exhibit,” says Barbara.

“This was really exciting news, to have my work selected up against so many other talented artists was a real thrill. Visitors are also requested to pick their favourite piece so there is always the chance of my work picking up this accolade.”

“Textile art is a relatively new interest for me,” Barbara explained. “I worked in education, until I retired in 2013. Until then I used to sew and started making bags, handbags and clutches, a small business selling them online (etsy.com/uk/shop/ barmadebags) and at craft markets.

“It was enjoyable, and I love to recycle as much fabric as I can. I created a range of different styles and patterns, and offer a bespoke service, preferring to sell online. I do have a stall at some local markets, it's a lot of effort but it's always great to meet people and get feedback about what I do."

Barbara has always kept herself busy. “Malcolm was a novelist so when I retired, I needed to have something to do so I wasn’t disturbing his work,” explains Barbara, “before that he used to have the house to himself and his creativity.”

Barbara also started painting, going along to art lessons once a week she started to pick up the skills needed to paint. This has led to her turning her love of textiles into an outlet for her artwork creating fabulous textile pictures made from hundreds of tiny individual pieces of mainly recycled and repurposed offcuts. I must admit that the detail of her pictures is amazing.

“The fabrics need to be consistent in weight and thickness to enable them to work in the pictures,” Barbara tells me. “I work from photographs I’ve taken or paintings I’ve created. One of my most recent works is of the crooked spire. I was walking through town one evening, everything was quiet and took the photo of the church and started to turn it into a textile piece.”

This piece took quite some time to achieve, started in May 2023 it was February 2024 before it was complete, Ok Barbara can only work on it for short periods of time due to the tiny detail needed but as each piece of fabric was bonded and added the image slowly built.

It offers an environment in which to work, live and stay, with a thriving artisan food community, residential property, and commercial lettings, all within a beautiful rural setting.

Chatting to Barbara it was clear that she is passionate about what she does and loves the way you can keep learning new skills and would encourage anyone to have go. “It’s never too late to learn new skills and we shouldn’t stop looking for opportunities to improve ourselves,” she adds.

She has also exhibited at Peak Village in the Derbyshire Makers shop, is hoping to get involved with Derbyshire Open Arts in 2025 and has been helping with the well dressing at Holymoorside, the process of building the image being very similar to the way Barbara layers up her textile pieces. A busy lady.

Next up is completing a series of textile images based around walks around Holymoorside, there are four already made (of which one is sold) and there is one more to finish to complete the set. “It’s been a lovely way to explore the area in which I live and to seek out the views and places which will work as finished textile art,” says Barbara.

If you want to know more about her work check out the website below and the blogs explain how the pieces are made and there is much more to explore. www.barmadebags.com

As David Bowie sung...

'Fashion...

We are the goon squad and we're coming to town'

Photo by Sunny Ng on Unsplash

Words: Molly Holmes Images: Unsplash

Molly Holmes is a local student who recently spent a few days with S40 & S41 Local for work experience. We had a chat, and she spent some time looking at fashion for teenagers in Chesterfield and shares her thoughts.

Fashion. One word that can mean so much.

Depending on who you ask, it could consist of anything and everything, and it's not limited to just what you like. Trends come and go; clothes differ and evolve.

Walking through our town centre, it's obvious to me that trends don’t have as much impact locally as they might in a large city, instead people show their own individual tastes. Although commonly adults seem to prefer being themselves and aren't buying into the latest fast fashions.

Young people have this perception that they don’t want to stand out from a crowd, and instead of finding their own identity follow others. Many teens are a copy and paste of each other, perhaps scared to be themselves and feeling the pressures that being young brings.

So, why do we follow trends? Why do we copy those we have never met and allow them to dictate our lives? Trends come and go and even reappear years later, but fashion will always exist, but we have the individual power to make it our own and not be a submissive follower.

I'm not saying all trends are bad, they sometimes take us out of our comfort zone, allowing new ways to express ourselves, and use others for inspiration.

Page 26

Shopping for young people in Chesterfield is in decline, mainly due to the lack of shops suited to teenagers, the ability to express ourselves through fashion restricted. Teens have grown to be one of the biggest factors that influence the fashion industry, with the rise of young people creating their own brands, becoming the faces of marketing for popular retailers, and even experimenting with new and unique looks. Being bombarded by influencers on social media, especially younger people gaining platforms, exposes us to new styles.

H&M and Primark are some of the most popular places for young people to purchase clothes in town but is this due to their products or is it perhaps because they are just there? Teenagers of Chesterfield are almost forgotten, and this could potentially be taking a toll on the town centre itself. There is nowhere to go and nothing to do for young people, which is why they turn to shopping centres like Meadowhall and, more commonly, the internet. Despite it being the summer holidays at the time of writing, it didn't seem like many teenagers are out and about in the town centre as I walked, is this due to the holidays or because of the lack of activities for young people? Teens need choice, shops that

will give them freedom to immerse themselves in the world of fashion and it could even give the high street a boost.

Charity and vintage shops allow individuals to take a more creative approach towards their own fashion choices, without contributing to the fast-fashion phenomenon. Charity shops sell cheaper pieces whilst giving back to the community, this can mean so much more than shopping in a major retail store. Today, the British Heart Foundation in town is full of people buying second hand clothing and from what I can see, there is something for everyone. Some might think charity shops are full of second-hand stuff no one wants, but it's much more. A place where people can help others by donating to charity, as well as help the environment giving clothes a second home without emptying their wallets.

There is an increasing number of young people who shop in charity shops, trends pop up over social media platforms showing how and where to find hidden gems for low prices.

Online shopping sites like, Vinted and Depop allow us to repurpose our old clothing for a little profit instead of donating them.

Photo by Guillaume Bleyer on Unsplash

Then our attention is grabbed by out-of-town shopping centres where individuals have many different choices of where to shop, eat, socialise and perhaps watch the latest films on the big screen. Everything you could possibly need under one roof, what more could you want? Well, that’s the thing, you don’t want anything else, the need for independent shops and town centres has been massively impacted.

Online shopping has put a strain on our UK high streets, the internet gives us major advantages that range from the convenience and accessibility of technology to the number of online retailers and variety of products they sell. All this growth diverts our attentions from the shops right in front of our eyes, will the high streets become obsolete? I hope not.

We do want a choice, perhaps it's time to call into the town centre and spend some time there.

Vintage, repurposed, charity, new, we'd like the option to shop with them all.

Holymoorside Film began in 2006 and a small group of volunteers, has selected and shown over 200 films to the community in the last 18 years.

Attendances have added up to more than 8,200 averaging out at around 40 throughout.

Ann Grinbergs explains, "recently we have experienced a significant drop in numbers attending, and a very limited take-up of a return to a membership scheme, post Covid. This reduction in income has made running a full programme unviable in the long term.

"We believe the pandemic changed the appetite for going out to watch movies, even Cineworld is about to close 25% of its UK theatres. The number of major films for cinema release has also fallen by 35% since 2019 and the rise of Netflix and other digital channels has changed how people consume

Are You A Patient of Chatsworth Road Medical Centre?

Are you a regular, unpaid carer for a friend or relative of any age?

By registering as a carer, the practice can help you, if you need it. For example, by: •

offering you appointments to suit your caring commitments

•

putting you in touch with specialist agencies who offer a range of support and advice to suit your needs e.g., Derbyshire Carers Association

“Our sincere thanks to all who have supported us over the years - including those who’ve kept in touch through S40 and S41 What’s On ads. We’ve no regrets, and we believe we have enjoyed a much longer period of fun and friendship with our community cinema than we imagined would be the case.”

Holymoorside Film operates under the umbrella of Holymoorside and Walton Arts Festival Society, which will continue to support arts and music events. The film equipment is still working well enough for occasional films, and they will offer the opportunity, by arrangement, to any group who may like to finance a community screening, to do so – perhaps as a fund-raising event.

"We know how difficult it can be to get out and support independent businesses, so it's great to be able to allow people to access the shop from the ease of their phone, tablet or screen.

The team at Highfield House Farm Shop, one of our regular advertisers, has been in touch to share some exciting news - they have set up an online shop!

"We are hoping this is going to provide a great service to the local area and enable us to compete with some of the larger retail chains offering delivery.

The new service is access from their website as below by just scanning the QR code.

"We've got all our basics on the site and will add extra products every week as well as weekly specials.

www.highfieldhousefarm.co.uk This brings the convenience of supermarket shopping, but you'll be supporting a great local, independent business instead.

In the start-up days the team have had to restrict the delivery area, but chances are if you get an S40 or S41 Local through the door they'll deliver to you. Please check the website for details. Deliveries are free if you spend over £50, (minimum spend £20 with £5 delivery) and go to allocated post codes on Thursday, Friday and Saturday each week using their temperaturecontrolled vans.

"We are hoping to have a few collection points in the area too, and customers can order online and collect from the shop, perhaps taking a break for a coffee and cake at our cafe!"

If this is a service you could use, please check out the website and await your first Highfield House Farm delivery!

Grassroots Football

Grassroots Football Samba FC Under 7s Words: Matt Kane Images: Samba FC

Choose a life. Choose a job. Choose to become an under 7s grassroots football manager.

Or, in my case, be the last parent to step back when this wonderful opportunity smacks you in the face like a Jude Bellingham overhead kick.

And yet, here I am, the proud manager of Samba FC under 7s football team. In the words of that great Talking Heads’ song, how did I get here?

I first got involved with Samba at their Saturday morning toddler sessions at Whit Green School when my lad Finn was two or three years old.

The very popular 9am ‘Samba Tots’ session was every part about balancing a bean bag on your head whilst trying to walk on a wooden beam but then progressed into 10am sessions that were football orientated run by Samba directors Carl, Ben T, Ben M and Brad who have played (and indeed still play) at local semi-pro level.

Fast forward on a year or so, and we’re now into Samba FC, semi-detached from the Samba Coaching side of things but nevertheless supported by the directors and a network of grassroots managers led by Rob, chairman of Samba FC and manager of our under 10s yellow team.

Samba FC is a relatively new club, our under 7s are the fourth generation of the team. We don’t yet have the infrastructure of some of the long-standing local clubs with their own pitches and a history of an adult team that spans many years.

Yet we have a lot of heart, commitment and an ethos that puts players first. We aren’t an ‘academy’ or ‘elite’, but we do our best. Longer-term, it’s Samba’s aspiration to form a girls’ team following in the footsteps of the fantastic Hasland Girls.

They say the hardest step is always the first and this was entirely the case for us, when it was just me, some balls, cones, nets, cheap kits I bought from Direct Soccer and this ‘baby’ I was left holding that was our team. It felt like a massive load of responsibility.

There were wobbles but parents continued to show fantastic support and we now have two amazing assistant managers Ben and Josh as well as team secretaries Katie and Suzy who all have boys in the team. The other Samba managers have been a great source of support too, not least Ben from our Under 8s team who was me last year and has ‘been there’.

Through Rob’s contacts, we obtained sponsorship for our first proper kit from Hammond and Co accountants based in Staveley who have been immensely supportive and generous in equal measure, and we’ve had some encouraging early results in the friendlies we’ve played.

The biggest eye-opener is just how competitive under 7s football is. I don’t mean the ugly underbelly of grassroots that mainstream media likes to portray because that hasn’t been our experience at all.

Yet make no mistake, even at 6 years old, grassroots is a serious business.

It’s fair to say it’s been a steep learning curve for us.

I went from being sat in a sports hall trying to smash through work emails whilst giving occasional words of encouragement to my son as he was trying to master drag-backs to suddenly being responsible for a team of eight or nine lads, ensuring our group of amazingly supportive parents were on board, managing training and subs, going to tournaments, and ultimately playing matches in the North Derbyshire Youth Football League.

Page 36

www.chesterfieldlocal.com

Results and league positions are not published until under 11s and the FA and teams like to place an emphasis on fun, development, and equal playing time.

Nevertheless, poaching of players is quite common. Teams posting adverts wanting to recruit ‘experienced players’ is very common.

In how many other walks of life is a six-year-old experienced in anything?!

The competitive element is never clearer than at summer tournaments where teams that are linked to academies will travel from as far as Stoke and Barnsley to Brampton and Tupton in order to win a cup that you can buy from a trophy-makers for twenty-five pounds. The cup isn’t important of course. It’s about the prestige of victory, same as it ever was.

There are levels in any sport and it’s easy to wind up against a much superior opponent and be completely overwhelmed. While it’s not been our experience so far, results of twenty-nil in a five-aside forty-minute game are not uncommon. In fact, it happens every week, up and down the country.

As the football season kicks off, remember that the Premier League is just the tip of an enormous iceberg that starts in parks and gardens in S40 and S41. Remember too that grassroots football exists on shoestring budgets.

Teams are entirely self-funding and haemorrhage cash during the season and Winter months due to the costs of 3G training facilities, which are so sparse across Chesterfield that we’re utilising the facilities at Dronfield Akademy from October.

If you, or a business you know want some relatively cheap advertising and to give something back to a group of enthusiastic and football-loving kids then do consider sponsoring a grassroots team.

You can even sponsor us (!) or, if you know a 6-year-old who might be interested in playing for us, get in touch.

New players are always welcome at training and if a space comes up you can join the team.

Inexperience as well as experience welcome!

E: matt_kane_22@yahoo.co.uk

Notwithstanding its foibles, kids' football is still a great way to make and grow friendships, build a community of friends with a shared passion from absolutely nothing and stay fit… and that applies to us parents as much as the kids.

Grassroots Football

New Tupton Ivanhoe FC Club of the Year Words & Images: Dom Stevens

The club was awarded the title from over 300 grassroots football clubs in Derbyshire.

New Tupton Ivanhoe FC is celebrating after winning not once but twice at the Derbyshire F.A. Grassroots Football Awards. The North Derbyshire club was named Grassroots Club of the Year and Lakisha Burton Coach of the Year (Female Pathway) by the Derbyshire FA. The club has over 400 young people playing from ages 3 to 15 and organises one of the largest grassroots football tournaments in the region.

Since launching in 2011, it has developed new and improved sporting facilities for the local community.

New Tupton Ivanhoe FC was previously named the Derbyshire FA Grassroots Club of the Year in 2020 and is only the second club to receive this accolade twice.

Antony Maidans, Chair, said: “We are so proud to be named Grassroots Club of the Year. We are successful due to the amazing volunteers who give their time to coach and run the club. Their dedication brings grassroots football to Tupton and makes a difference to many young people.

The club is proud of the investment in our coaches to ensure they continue to develop their skills to develop young people.”

Dave Hoult, Club Secretary, added: “We are so proud. The club has grown from one team to over 400 kids accessing football. We continue to develop and grow our facilities and offer new initiatives to allow wider participation in football from the local community.”

Lakisha Burton was named Coach of the Year (Female Pathway) for her development and coaching of Wildcats. The FA’s Weetabix Wildcats is non-competitive football for girls aged 5 to 11 who want to give football a go for the first time or want to play with other girls their age.

Lakisha said: “When I found out, I was shocked.

Then all the emotions came, feeling happy, overwhelmed, proud and extremely grateful for being recognised for what I do as a Grassroots Football Coach. Winning the Club of the Year shows how successful the club is as a whole, and I’m proud to be part of that and work alongside the other coaches.”

New Tupton Ivanhoe FC offers a range of opportunities to play football in a fun environment.

What's On

Free Advice & Inspiration On Saving Energy & Eco Homes

TUE 29 OCT: SOLAR PV & BATTERIES 7pm, organised by Transition Chesterfield.

Speaker John Beardmore of T4 Sustainability t4sustainability.wordpress.com

Words: Transition Chesterfield It’s that time of year when the heating comes on, but with gas and electricity prices going up by 10%, many people are worried about the cost of energy bills. And with home energy use responsible for about one third of Chesterfield’s carbon dioxide emissions there is more reason to try and reduce home energy consumption and maintain comfort.

A series of three online Eco Home events are planned to provide advice and encouragement for people. Open to anyone, featuring presentations by experts and local homeowners who discuss experiences of making home improvements and installing eco tech.

THU 17 OCT: HOME INSULATION 7pm, organised by Wirksworth Community Land Trust. Speaker Keir Windsor of UK Hempcrete www.ukhempcrete.com TUE 22 OCT: AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPS 7pm, organised by Hope Valley Climate Action’s energy group. Speaker Jeremy French of IMS Heat Pumps www.imsheatpumps.co.uk

The owners will talk about their improvements, systems, and experiences, including cost and savings, ease of installation, and the pros and cons plus a Q&A session at the end.

Organizer, Lisa Hopkinson of Transition Chesterfield said: “We want to give people ideas and inspiration, from small improvements to deep retrofits. Talking to people who have made improvements is a great way to find out about solar panels, insulation, triple glazing, or air source heat pumps without talking to a salesman."

If you’re thinking of installing insulation, air source heat pumps, solar panels, batteries or doing other eco improvements but aren’t sure where to start or have questions, come along to these free events.

Events are supported by Derbyshire Climate Coalition, Climate Action North East Derbyshire and Derby Climate Coalition. bit.ly/TC_Energy_Saving

What's On

Re-use and Repair Let’s celebrate what we’ve achieved!

Words & Images: Transition Chesterfield

Would you like to extend the life of your household items? Too many household items are underused or stop working after a brief period. Repair Cafés are there to help with this and there is a growing network in the region, mostly operating on different Saturdays, which means that you have more opportunities to get help.

Chesterfield Repair Café has been running regularly since 2016 usually on the third Saturday morning of the month. All kinds of household items are brought in for our enthusiastic volunteer fixperts to assist you in working out what’s wrong.

From gardening tools, electric and electronic items, toys, furniture to clothing and furnishings.

Watching and, where possible, taking part in a repair helps you develop your skills and become more confident in repairing damaged items yourself. And you’ll also find people willing to help you with advice on making the best use of your possessions.

Along with other Repair Cafés, we collect data and submit these to a larger national database. Since we started recording our data, we have held 66 events, with 776 participants. We’ve prevented 1,795 kg of waste and 12,682 kg of CO 2 (that’s like growing 211 tree seedlings for 10 years).

All these things happen at a Transition Chesterfield Repair Café – and the Café means exactly that: we serve refreshments too!

And it doesn’t end there. As part of the Community Repair Network running in the UK, some of our volunteers are taking part in a citizen science research project known as BREW (Beyond Recycling of E-Waste). The Restart Group that is running this project has discovered that many of the devices we shred for recycling in the UK aren’t even broken when they did a small investigation in London. This research aims to find out how widespread this is across the country. So far, in Derbyshire, we have seen that, in theory, areas are set aside at Recycling Centres for re-use but we’re not sure how much this is encouraged when people visit. We hope to be finding out more about this soon.

Come and join us and help us celebrate. www.transitionchesterfield.org.uk/repaircafe

This Autumn we have two reasons to celebrate.

Repair Café International is celebrating 15 years since the first one was opened in Holland and we have sent our banner to be displayed along with others all over the world – see photo. And Saturday 19 October is International Repair Day. Thousands of groups across the world will be holding events to celebrate what we have achieved and to promote greater priority to re-use and repair.

Garden Tips

Autumn Tips...

For a sustainable garden Words: Transition Chesterfield & Inspire Community Garden Image: R Nixon Betts www.transitionchesterfield.org.uk 1.

Dead-head flowers like dahlias and cosmos to keep them flowering longer, in recent years it’s been possible to keep these flowering well into November.

2.

Perennials that have finished flowering can be divided and replanted.

3.

Think about planting late winter and spring-flowering bulbs, which bring everyone joy and provide food for wildlife.

4.

Sow quick-maturing oriental plants like Pak choi; rocket will also give a crop before the frosts if sown now.

5.

Harvest seeds either for spreading elsewhere in your own garden or swapping. Collect ripe seed on a dry day, as soon as the seedheads (e.g. capsules or pods) ripen. A change in colour often indicates ripeness. Pick the seedheads and lay them out to dry on a warm windowsill or in an airing cupboard. This enables seed to be more easily extracted from pods, cones or capsules.

6.

Keep harvesting runner and French beans; like many vegetables (including courgettes) they 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.

7.

Plant over-wintering onion sets and garlic, and sow winter lettuces (there are several varieties with varying degrees of hardiness: lamb’s lettuce, Winter Density, Great Lakes are just a few).

8.

Keep on top of tidying jobs, but don’t go overboard - leave as many ornamental seed-heads and hollow stemmed plants as you can. These look good, especially frosted, and can provide food for birds and habitats for insects.

9.

Now should be a good time to reseed or lay turf on any areas that need repair.

10. If you have surplus apples, try a new recipe, or get them pressed into delicious apple juice. For details of apple-pressing events this Autumn, see: www.transitionchesterfield.org.uk.

If you’d like further inspiration or advice on how to garden sustainably, visit Inspire Community Garden on Wednesday 1 to 3pm or Sunday 10 to 3pm.

Chesterfield Ladies FC The New Season Words & Images: Michael South

I've been watching and photographing Chesterfield Ladies for a while now and think they deserve a lot more recognition. All women's footy does really.

So, if you haven't heard of them, then let me fill you in.

Firstly, they are the ORIGINAL Chesterfield Ladies team. Since 2022 the town has TWO female teams, don't mistake them for recently formed Chesterfield FC Women's team currently with The Spireites down on Whittington Moor.

Chesterfield Ladies were in fact founded in January 1991 by Jane Ebbage. Initially the team was called “Sharley Park Spireites” set up to get more females lacing up their boots and picking up the ball.

Page 62

In 1993 the name changed to Chesterfield Ladies but then in 2019, when the club became affiliated with Chesterfield FC, the name was tweaked to Chesterfield Women. In 2022 the women's team parted ways from the men's club (by mutual consent) and returned to Chesterfield Ladies. The women's team carried on under Chesterfield FC Women, hence now there being two teams.

During their 30+ year history the club has achieved quite a few titles and trophies.

• Reebok Fives World Cup Champions 1994 • Unison East Midlands Ladies Football League Runners up 1997 • Unison East Midlands Ladies Football League Cup Runners up 1997 & 1993 • Promoted to Midlands Combination League 1998

www.chesterfieldlocal.com

• • • • • • • •

All England 5 a side East Midlands Champions 1997 All England 5 a side East Midlands Runners up 1999 & 1994 Derbyshire Girls and Ladies League Champions 2019 Derbyshire Girls and Ladies League Challenge Cup Champions 2019 Derbyshire Girls and Ladies League Secondary Cup Champions 2019 East Midlands Women’s Regional Football League Invitational Cup Champions 2019 Promoted to East Midlands Women's Regional Football League Premier Division 2021 Derbyshire County Cup winners 2022/23

The club has a solid set up from junior level right the way to the first team. This is a really good route through the ranks for all players at each playing level, as they progress towards their first team goal. They have U13, U14, U15, U16, U18 and U23 teams all leading up to the first team squad.

The first team management is made up of Neil Robinson (manager) and he is supported by coach Pierre Falleth, Steve Naylor & John Hopkinson.

Above them is Jon Baines who's the Chairman and Craig Melville who's the Vice Chair.

At the time of writing, the 2024/25 season has just kicked off and they sit in the East Midlands League, narrowly missing out on promotion last season. There are just 10 teams fighting it out for the top spot in this league. As only one team gets to go up as champions, it's a hard league to escape from but they've been in the top four since entering Tier 5. The first game kicked off on the first of September away against Ilkeston Town where 8 goals were scored. Luckily every single one of them came from a Spireite boot. So, with a clean sheet it was a perfect start to the campaign.

Upcoming fixtures for September and October.

24/09/24 19:45 - Basford United (A) 29/09/24 14:00 - Mansfield Town (A) 13/10/24 12:00 - Sheffield FC (H) 27/10/24 12:00 - SJR Worksop (H)

If you fancy watching and supporting the ladies, they will be playing all their home fixtures at the Staveley Miners Welfare ground this season. Usually match days fall on a Sunday. Their games are all away fixtures until their opening home game against Sheffield FC on 13 October KO 12:00. So, pop down and grab coffee and food in the cafe. I can vouch for the chip cobs!
