Intro

Hi and welcome to our March edition.

As I type, the COVID restrictions look set to be lifted by the end of February, a month earlier than we were expecting. With the onset of Spring I'm looking forward to things feeling a bit more 2019!

Firstly I've got a couple of 'thank you's. A huge thanks to Lindsey Till for getting in touch and sending us the cover image taken from Curbar Edge, we love that place! And an anonymous thank you we received to the people spotted a few weeks ago litter picking and making the area look a bit more loved - if it was you - you're amazing, thank you from your community!

In our Winter 2022 edition we featured an article on woodland burials, we'd like to clarify that woodland burials are available through the majority of funeral directors.

We have a piece on positivity, we have a lot going on in our county and long term, I'm hoping it's a good thing. We meet a couple of new businesses, OTI Interiors and the guys behind AA Record Fairs who bring their vinyl market into town each month. We chat art with local student Jude South, Maisie give us the lowdown on her thoughts on the next step in her education and it's not all about the studying! The Brookfield journalism team take a visit to Westfield School to find out what's going on and we have all the usual stuff filling the spaces between the adverts for our fabulous independent businesses.

All you now have to do is enjoy the edition, use the businesses and tell them you saw them in S40 Local!

Happy March.

Reflection

Words: Paul Chapman Images: Destination Chesterfield & Independent Business

I

'm not sure if we tend to be negative to change, but as Cesterfeldians, we have a lot to celebrate; we sometimes just need to understand the bigger picture.

I'm a Chesterfield Champion and admit that it's sometimes difficult to see how specific projects can be beneficial. If I'm a Champion (e.g., someone who should spread positivity) and I feel this way, it's not surprising that reaction is sometimes adverse to things in the pipeline. However, these schemes are often part of a larger 'master plan' and will prove beneficial in the long term.

Recently, Jewson relocated their business to Sheffield Road, from the site to the east of the A61 corridor, this move facilitates the development of a new link road to the railway station. After this, the later phases will see a new pedestrianised walkway from the station up past St Marys (Crooked Spire) and into town. The purchase of the Chesterfield Hotel forms part of these plans and will create a vast improvement on the narrow unattractive bridge over the A61.

Our town centre is doing exceptionally well, and many other similar towns are struggling to maintain a high street anything like ours. We have many major retailers in town, some may have moved down to Ravenside, but this has enabled several smaller independent businesses to fill the spaces. True, there are some empty units in town but we have a vibrant market, dynamic Antique and Artisan markets, and Vicar Lane continues to attract the independents. One new tenant I'm excited to see back is Pizza Pi, in the unit opposite H&M beneath the large screen. We've become a University town and our college has seen the investment to engage with local businesses and provide the skills needed to support these businesses.

Slightly out of town, there is investment along Sheffield Road, The Glassyard is nearing completion, and several businesses have taken space, some new, some relocating. This was Page 4

perhaps sparked with the building of the CASA hotel in November 2010. Casa has since become one of Derbyshire’s leading four-star hotels.

Next door is the Technique Stadium, home to Chesterfield FC and other recent developments.

Clay Cross town centre is seeing significant change, and with the Avenue links to Chesterfield, more people are coming into town. Along the corridor to Clay Cross, you can't miss the number of housing developments taking place. These new houses bring in new residents wanting places to eat, shop and play.

The M1 corridor and Markham Vale are attractive sites for new logistics and manufacturing businesses, and with these new businesses come new jobs. The new Enterprise Centre in town will bring new businesses to the town centre, people wanting lunch, local facilities and services.

I'm not saying everything is rosy in Chesterfield, we still have some of the most deprived areas in the country, and we have a long way to go to rebuild confidence in town, but I do think we're on the leading edge of change.

I've always thought what a great location Chesterfield is in; we’re close to the M1, we can access numerous airports quickly, are close to three major cities, we have our own identity and, although we're not a Peak Park town, the Peak District is on our doorstep. We're in a great place … but don't tell too many people!

When I moved to Chesterfield, almost 20 years ago, I noticed a really strong sense of community, which is still very much apparent today. Our local leaders talk about the grand vision, 'a modern awakening, celebrating local, creating connections, and nurturing inventiveness'.

I wonder if, alongside the grand vision, we can aim for something a little simpler – 'let’s become a fabulous place to live!'

Stay positive Cesterfeldians; I'm going to!

Reflection

"Here we are two years in from the COVID pandemic. We have put our hearts and souls into providing a service for the local community and visitors from afar.

"Positivity has been our mantra; it seems to be the way to survive and keep moving forward. We love our town and appreciate all attempts to keep communities Together. Support for Chesterfield is essential now more than ever as we strive for normality."

Libby from Libby's and Andy from The Cafe at Libby's

"We believe that Chesterfield town centre has a lot to offer, and are optimistic about the year ahead. New shops are coming to Chesterfield, and that is pleasing to see. We support the new businesses and know this means they can see the town's potential and ultimately that the footfall will be there.

"The market is a bone of contention for many, but we see it as a real bonus as it brings customers to our doorstep!

It might not be a market of the 50s or 60s, but then again, those markets no longer exist. Chesterfield has changed, and will continue to change, but we want to be part of that change for the good!"

Reflection

"Chesterfield is such a friendly and sociable town. People here have always got time for each other.

I'm really proud to run a business in Chesterfield and be part of this creative, hard-working and passionate community.

The range of independent shops, cafes, bars and restaurants in town is already incredibly diverse and improving all the time.

Customers and shoppers are beginning to understand how important it is to support local businesses, and I think the town offers value and quality for those customers to help this movement.

The hugely positive aspect of this is the fact that businesses and organisations are so willing to work together to make Chesterfield a great destination to visit!"

Matt, Ginspired

Chesterfield is a wonderful town in which to live and work. We have a lot to offer, with a wonderful mix of independent shops, bars, cafes and salons and larger multiple retailers, we have a lot to offer.

We opened Adorn in 2010 and have many visitors who comment on the history of The Shambles and how pretty Chesterfield is to walk around.

There is work to be done to ensure a positive future for Chesterfield, and I'm confident that, as a community, we will pull together to see our town succeed and thrive.

Of the pictures sent, we loved the shot of Curbar Edge, one of our favourite places, and just a short 15-minute drive away.

Lindsey loves to take photos and we're glad she does! These are a couple more Lindsey sent us, and we're hoping she enjoys seeing her work in print.

Thanks for the lovely feedback about what we do and carry on enjoying the green spaces we have so close.

Business Intro

OTI Interiors A Lockdown Opportunity Words: Paul Chapman Images: OTI Interiors

www.chesterfieldlocal.co.uk

T

he past two years have been hard work for us all, but imagine you're running one of Chesterfield's best-loved places to grab some food, Bottle & Thyme, (the 1317 Facebook reviews rate them as 4.7 out of 5 overall), so when lockdown required them to close the doors it gave owners, Gavin and Hannah time to reflect. The reflection resulted in them bringing forward something they had been thinking about for a while.

Welcome to OTI Interiors, a bespoke cabinetry business named after their son Otis.

But it wasn't quite as simple as that!

"Conversations with a customer had me thinking about whether I could set up a cabinet-making business, I've overseen all the work at Bottle & Thyme, and it was tempting," explains Gavin.

I've known Gavin for quite a few years now and learned how determined he is to get things done, he has a love of design, and I didn't realise he's handy on the tools too. He was responsible for designing and renovating Bottle & Thyme, turning an old bank into a restaurant, and designing their most recent bar renovation in addition to the interior furniture. "Quite a few customers have asked who designed the interiors at Bottle & Thyme? I explained that it was me that put the style together," Gavin says. "I love design, how things look and feel, so being able to marry this with the physical construction of cabinets for kitchens etc., is great fun for me."

What struck me about the new business, talking to Gavin, was the investment they've made.

With two units set up in Hasland, fitted out the machinery and tools needed to do the job, including a dedicated spray shop, he already has a small team to put together the quality, bespoke units for customers. The young team is a mix of experienced joiners, an apprentice, electricians, plumbers, decorators, all the trades needed to complete a job. Gavin is on hand to ensure everything is finished to the quality required.

Gavin's phone was full of pictures, and I was impressed with what he was doing. The problem was every time he showed me an image, I thought, 'oh, we could do with that. This could be an expensive chat! As I write, the website is on the 'to do list', but the social media for @otiinteriors on Facebook and Instagram is growing rapidly.

"We create a solution that works for you and your family. Our designs are built around your lifestyle and how you use the space. For instance, our most recent design featured a 'breakfast cupboard'; everything needed to start the day right is in one place. We installed vertical storage for baking trays etc., ovens were at a safe height away from the younger family members, and the whole space was fit for the customer's family," Gavin explained.

The process starts with a chat and pencil sketches.

Designs are drawn up using realistic 3D renders, and every aspect is shown to customers visually before any work begins. "Our designs are not cheap," Gavin adds. "We want them to be a longterm investment. Our units are manufactured with a ten-year guarantee. We use full oak internal shelving and carcasses, the gaps between units, doors and drawers will remain constant, and our drawer rails will take an 80kg load. We have a lovely range of timeless heritage colours that we use to spray that will outlive fashion trends. The finer detail is so important to us."

It’s not just kitchens though, OTI Interiors can build bespoke solutions for bedrooms, bathrooms, storage areas, such as under stairs, pantries etc. They can do utility rooms, boot rooms, book shelving, alcove shelving and storage, bespoke units for TVs for instance for those awkward corners - in fact, anything that needs a cabinet!

So far, the plan looks like an investment that's paying off, the order book is filling up, and this is just from recommendations. If you fancy a new kitchen or cabinetry, give OTI Interiors a call, and if you have your first meet up in Bottle & Thyme, you can enjoy some fab food and coffee at the same time!

And what of Bottle & Thyme, I hear you ask?

They have weathered the COVID storm which has enabled them to review their menu, something they've wanting to do for a while. They are now offering smaller plates that feature seasonal foods, changing each month around what's available, a much more sustainable way to work and fingers crossed, I'll be telling you more about this in a future edition. Yum yum!

This is a long-term plan that is already delivering high-end kitchens. "What makes us different from major manufacturers is that we aren't tied down to specific sizes of unit, we don't have to use filler panels in your run of kitchen units, we can make the units to fit the space or incorporate creative storage solutions.

THE VINYL REVIVAL Did it ever go away?

Words: Simon Paterson Images: AA Record Fairs

Page 20

www.chesterfieldlocal.co.uk

T

he latest edition to Chesterfield's evolving town centre is the vinyl market, held on the second Sunday of every month, and It's growing in popularity every month.

One of my fondest memories as a child was playing records on my dad's old record player. I remember being no older than seven when I was blasting out 'Alright now' by Free in the living room, singing along with dreams of being a rockstar!

Now Andy Wilkinson and Adrian Wells, the entrepreneurs behind AA Record Fairs, enable kids all over Chesterfield to form similar memories to me as they blast out Ed Sheeran on vinyl in the living room! (AA Records Fairs probably don't sell Ed Sheeran on vinyl!)

Andy has been part of the furniture at Chesterfield Market for over 30 years and has seen it all. Adrian is a classically trained pianist who left school at 16 to pursue his dream of being a rock and roll star.

Together they are the perfect match to run pop-up vinyl markets.

Last month, I caught up with Andy and Adrian on their busy market stall.

What made you both start a pop-up vinyl market?

Adrian: 'Well, we both had record shops and sold online, but it just wasn't for us. We didn't like it! So, we started standing at other people's record fairs and talked to the guys at the one in Leeds about how it all works. We spoke to some of the guys trading at the fairs who were happy to venture a little further south, and in 2019 the very first AA Record Fair was launched.'

Since the first one in 2019, you appear to have spread all over the place.

Andy: 'That's right, we hold record fairs in Chesterfield, Matlock Bath, Sheffield, Derby, Workshop, Lincoln, Nottingham and even as far south as Leicester!'

The vinyl revival is well Underway. Why do you think people are collecting records again?

Adrian: 'Well, I don't think vinyl ever went away.

We have always sold music whether on vinyl, cassette or CD, but all the serious collectors have always wanted vinyl. It was always older people in their late 50's or 60's who came to us, but now it's very popular with young people. A new generation has picked up on the experience of listening to and collecting music on vinyl, and it's turned the industry’s head. They (the record labels) have started issuing all their music on vinyl Again. It's great!'

Parallel lines, Pink Floyd – Dark Side of the moon and Michael Jackson – Thriller. These albums are purchased as soon as we put them out.'

What are you guys listening to at the minute?

Adrian: 'I’m really into my experimental music, Japanese electronic stuff that's a bit out there!'

Andy: 'I was into Jane's addiction back in the day, Rage Against the Machine, who I had a ticket to see play Leeds Festival two years ago which was cancelled for obvious reasons.'

People are starting record collections all the time.

What are your top tips when starting out?

Adrian: 'The most important thing you need is a decent turntable. There's no point in buying one of those little 'plasticy’ things. Buy a retro 1970’s turntable. You're not going to have to spend a lot of money on them, they are built to last and will look after your records when you play them.'

What was the first record you guys purchased?

Adrian: 'Mine was Mud rock volume two, but I had to send my mum in to get it!'

Andy: 'Michael Jackson – Farewell my summer love from Woolworths on the Chesterfield high street.'

What are your plans for the future?

Andy: 'We don’t want to get too big to be honest.

We like the little pop-up fairs which we do as a pair, we could grow quite a bit, but we are happy as we are."

Adrian: 'On the larger markets like Chesterfield, we invite about 40 traders to come and stand with us, but as Andy says, we are more than happy to keep doing our pop-up fairs and markets.'

It was great chatting with Andy and Adrian. Their passion and appreciation for music are infectious, and I can’t wait to start my own vinyl collection very soon. Let's hope my dad has his 70’s turntable in the loft!

AA Record Fairs stand on the Chesterfield Market on the second Sunday of every month. You can keep up to date with everything they do on their socials.

Advertorial

Is it time to spring clean your finances?

by Rob Wood, Compliance Manager at Jones & Co

I know it’s February, but a friend asked me the other day if I’d made any New Year’s resolutions and, perhaps, more importantly if I’d stuck to them.

I’m not a big fan to be honest. I’d rather (try!) and make sure I’m ready and organised all year round for whatever I may want to achieve. And there’s nothing that attitude applies more to than finances and financial planning.

Don’t put your finances off My friend’s question got me thinking. February is an excellent month for reviewing, reassessing or even starting your financial planning. It’s the perfect time to spring clean your finances for the months and years ahead and the sooner you begin, the better.

You’re worried about how much recruiting the services of a professional independent financial advisor might cost. Or you’re scared of what they might tell you if you do.

Get an honest guide to your current financial situation for free We completely understand. That’s why it really is better to consider your financial situation today.

So, to help you get started, simply arrange a free, no obligation consultation with us and, if nothing else, we can give you an honest guide to your current situation. Oh, and did I mention it’s free of charge? Zero cost. Nothing to pay. All you need is 60 minutes of your time.

I can hear an audible sigh from lots of you reading that last sentence! Comments such as: “but financial planning is boring”, “I haven’t got a clue when it comes to financial stuff”, “I don’t have the time right now” or, my personal favourite, “I’ve got loads more interesting things to do with my day!” are all very common responses. The good news is, we can do all your financial planning for you and make it completely painless and maybe even interesting! So, there’s no reason to put your finances off for another day, your future self really will thank you for it.

You’re not alone Going back to my friend who enquired about resolutions. He’s just one of many who, when they find out I work with a group of award-winning independent financial advisors, casually try to get a (free!) steer on what they should and shouldn’t be doing with their pension, savings or investments.

If you’re unsure of your finances I can assure you that you are not alone.

I’m afraid to say that many people are missing opportunities for their finances to achieve their goals. For example, not considering retirement and how they’ll manage financially until it’s too late.

It’s so easy to put it off because you’re just not interested, or you’re frightened of the unknown.

It’s also worth me pointing out that we’re an approachable, friendly bunch, and we’ll never, ever bore you with jargon or waffle. I know I’m biased so just click on our Google or VouchedFor.co.uk reviews and see what our existing clients have to say. The comments speak for themselves.

Start spring cleaning today Don’t delay, start your spring cleaning today with a free consultation with one of our team.

Either drop us an email to: advice@ ifajonesandco.uk, call 01246 550521 or pop into our offices on Glumangate in Chesterfield. We look forward to seeing you soon!

SNAILS & TRAILS Words & Images: Jude South

S

40 and S41 Local Magazine’s are always keen to support the future generation of writers and journalists.

So, when Jude South, aged 14, (pictured opposite) contacted us and asked us if he could write a historic piece on of his favourite sculptures in Chesterfield, naturally, we said YES! Take it away, Jude...

Chesterfield has some wonderful art sculptures, some of which are steeped in local history. I want to share two of my favourites with you lovely readers.

Markham Colliery Mining Memorial Trail The Markham Colliery Memorial trail is a social action project that was set up to commemorate the 106 miners who lost their lives in the disasters of 1937, 1938 and 1973. The sculptures designed by Stephen Broadbent, represent the sites strong heritage and the journey the miners took from their homes to the pit. Each sculpture has metal medals attached displaying information about the miners such as their names, ages and roles. The 106 sculptural figures are part of the ‘walking together’ trail that sees them heading off to work, never to return home. The trail starts in the village of Duckmanton and ends at the former pit head of the Markham Colliery.

The Memorial was planned, fundraised and realised thanks to the Memorial Vale Heritage Group. The 25 members are made up of volunteer historians, relatives of the lost miners and local residents. We have these amazing individuals and the businesses that supported them financially to thank for this wonderful piece of art.

Page 26

I love these sculptures because it makes me think of the miners who sadly died and the hardship and suffering their remaining family members have faced daily. It’s a piece of physical history that will be here for generations.

The Snail The area behind Chesterfield Train station where The Snail stands tall and proud was once home to several factories.

The factories stopped production in the 1990’s and a housing estate was built. Fast forward a few years and The Snail joined the estate, slowly!

The artist behind the sculpture, Liz Lemon, took inspiration from the land and its industrial history. The land is known for its gastropod and Goniatite fossils. Pretty cool!

The Snail sculpture stands at a staggering 25 feet high. At night you can see the magnificent sculpture lit up with blue and green fibre optic lights which are built in.

The metal used to make the spiral form was created from many sections of stainless steel that vary in thickness, just like the factories used that once stood on this historic site.

I love this piece because it represents the site and it’s past perfectly. Plus, it lights up at night which is very cool!

Both The Snail and the Markham Colliery Memorial Trail are amazing examples that art and love, when combined, can make something beautiful Thanks for taking the time to read my article.

I hope you learnt something. I know I did!

I

t’s that time of year again. Even if you’re not going through the process yourself, you probably either know someone in your family who is, or you remember your own experience of it many moons ago.

Making the leap to your next step post18, be it university, an apprenticeship or full-time employment, is terrifying, but also very exciting. Wishing to study the English language further, I have applied to university.

Luckily, I have been accepted by all 5 of the universities I applied to, on the condition that I obtain certain A-Level grades, which, I should achieve with some dedicated revision and intense completing of past papers.

Whilst the primary focus is on gaining a new lease of independence when going away to university, some of the more worrying feelings that come with the process are often overlooked. By writing this, I hope to alleviate some of the stress that any fellow applicant reading is Feeling. To let you know that you are not alone in your thoughts, or if you’ve long since completed your degree, you’ll hopefully be able to read this with sympathy as, looking back on your own experience with uni, you remember feeling the same.

packet food or blowing all my student loans on takeaways. I am sure certain that many others will have this same anxiety, so rest assured, if you perfect a selection of classic dishes, you’ll be absolutely fine, and then you can practise even more meals with your flatmates once you get there.

My biggest concern is not whether I’ll get the grades, nor is it whether I’ll make friends; it’s the fact I’ll have to cook for myself.

Growing up an only child, I’ll admit it, I’ve been indulged. Every night, my tea is on the table (which at least I have set - my one chore) and I’ve never questioned it. But soon, all that is going to change. Currently, my specialities are microwaveable rice in a packet, pasta with a microwaveable sauce or anything you can shove in the oven on a tray with chips. If I don’t start practising, it will be a shock to the system when I’ve exhausted all my culinary delights two weeks in. Thankfully, my mum has offered to give me some tips and tricks over the next few months and during the summer before I go, to ensure that I won’t just be living off

So, whether you’re going off to university like me, taking a gap year, starting an apprenticeship or full-time employment, I wish you the best of luck in the summer exams and I hope when you finally take that next step, it brings you lots of friendships and exciting opportunities.

Another thing I’ve been pushing to the back of my mind is how to handle my finances.

Don’t even talk to me about how much I spent on a meal last night - all I’m saying is my bank account was groaning. In my defence, it is pretty hard to know exactly how much is too much for a sandwich if you’ve never had to portion your money like me. Realising you’re going to have to be more restrained with your money to ensure it doesn’t all run out after a month is a hard fact to face, but I’m sure there must be hundreds of student finance tracker apps to help you manage your money wisely. Suppose your university takes your accommodation money out automatically. In that case, this will alleviate a bit of stress as you won’t have to worry about getting it paid in time, but it will still be crucial to make sure you do have the funds available to pay for it.

Westfield News

Welcome Westfield Edited by Brookfield Journalism Group In this edition, the Brookfield Journalism Group spent some time out of their comfort zone talking to the children at Westfield Infant School to discover what they've been up to as

part of their Health & Wellbeing studies. I want to thank both schools for participating in this link-up so enthusiastically.

Forests & Bikes Words: Katie Trickett and Aisling Rippin A 'Forest School' in the middle of Chesterfield? A 'Balance Bike Programme': was that something to do with seeing the two sides of the debate over the Chatsworth Road cycle lane? All of us – including those who'd been pupils at Westfield Infant School ten years ago – were intrigued to learn more.

Visiting Westfield was an eye-opening experience for us. The children were keen to talk to us, telling us about their balance bike training with a specialist, learning the skills needed so they might eventually progress to riding a bike. All the children were extremely willing to tell us about the experience, the instructor chatting with the reception children about how it was good for them and the planet.

Children throughout the school also focus on the environment through participating in 'Forest Schools' based in a dedicated area of the school grounds, learning about the importance of being outside. Gathering around us, students told us how they had learnt to make a nest and how this benefitted the birds they could see in their gardens at home.

Speaking to some of the welcoming teachers at the school, they spoke to us about learning through engaging with nature, and just the simple importance of being outside. All of us have been

Page 34

affected by the pandemic in so many different ways, but we could clearly see the need to offset the impact it has had on these children. We personally look back at our infant school years with fondness, but these children have spent the better part of two years - for some children half of their lives - unable to spend time outside and with other people their age. We could see how being outside with each other positively impacted them, learning together, playing together and just being kids.

We'd both like to thank the teachers at Westfield for their enthusiasm and positivity and the children for talking to us: it was a really enjoyable experience. For us, it was incredible to see their unrelenting positivity and eagerness to show us everything they've learnt. Their happiness was almost contagious, instantly lifting our moods.

Health & Wellbeing Words: Eleanor Hayward Images: Niamh Weston and Alex Francis Westfield Infant School pupils have been learning lots about health and wellbeing and we went to hear all about it. Mr Whitham, the Acting Headteacher, spoke to me about the different programmes that the school has in place. For example, in their Personal, Social and Health Education lessons, the children learn about healthy eating, drinking the correct amount of water, getting enough sleep, and regular exercise - all to help children understand how to better look after themselves and other people.

Mr Whitham kindly introduced me to the ‘Task Force Committee’ run by Mrs Minskip. The children that make up the Task Force have volunteered and been voted in. They have meetings to talk about numerous topics every half term. This week the students discussed eating more healthily. They were busy planning a competition in the school to discover who can invent the best healthy recipe.

The children on the Task Force Committee also talked about some outdoor competitions and their ideas relating to it, such as, running races, jumping and throwing into hoops. After the meeting, Mrs Minskip told me about the school’s “Golden rule” – “and that is ‘Be Kind’: all the children in the school know this rule, and it can be applied to almost anything.”

It was really wonderful to hear the children themselves talk about what they had been up to.

A Year 2 pupil I talked to said that people should get 60 minutes of exercise every day. Another in Reception told me that students at Westfield have fruit at break and that his favourite was an apple, and the marshmallows and hot chocolate seemed just as popular enjoyed as part of the school’s commitment to outdoor education in its Forest School.

SHAPE Learning Partnership Words: Paul Ryan at SHAPE Recently, members of the SHAPE team have been working to support Westfield Infant School through two-sport and PE initiatives. Formed in 2004 and based at Brookfield, the role of SHAPE Learning Partnership is to support schools in providing opportunities for children and young people to be physically active.

As part of the nationally funded Bikeability programme, youngsters at Westfield have enjoyed a series of balance bike sessions with local deliverers Wheely Fun Wheels. These fully funded sessions aim to boost children’s confidence whilst improving their physical health and emotional wellbeing. The reception children at Westfield enjoyed learning cycle handling and awareness

skills, developing their confidence ahead of future training at their chosen junior school.

The SHAPE team also visited Westfield this term to deliver their Health and Wellbeing programme.

All children took part in an interactive workshop covering important topics such as healthy eating, hydration, exercise and sleep - through fun games, storytelling, music and dance. The children learned all about vegetables with the ‘Super Potato dance’ and measured sugar content in their favourite snacks and treats.

Highfield Bowls Club Did you know there is a crown green bowls club at the back of The Highfield Pub on Newbold Road?

We wouldn’t be surprised if you said no, even people who have lived in Newbold all their lives might not be aware of it, even though it’s been there over a hundred years.

The club is looking for new members. Membership is open to everyone; men, women and youngsters of all abilities and we would welcome new members with no previous bowls experience.

All you need to get started is a pair of flat shoes, like trainers or pumps – the club can provide everything else, bowls, jacks, and some tuition and when you get more proficient and want to buy some bowls of your own then your fellow club members will be on hand to offer advice on what to buy. There are many decent second-hand bowls on the market at very reasonable prices.

Page 38

Membership is £52 for the year (reduced for younger players) and the bowls season runs from March to the end of September.

For anyone interested in competitive bowls the club has several teams in local leagues but there are always plenty of opportunities to just use the green for social bowls or practice, for those who do not want to play in a league.

The Highfield is a friendly and welcoming club and we are lucky enough to share our site with a friendly, welcoming family orientated pub too, which is a great bonus.

So, if your New Years resolution was to get outdoors a bit more, get some exercise or just to try a new sport, we would like to recommend you try crown green bowls at The Highfield, for further enquiries please contact The Secretary on 07966 373984

Patient Appeal

Treasuring Trees

An appeal from the patient participation group at Chatsworth Road medical Centre, Storrs Road.

Celebrating Derbyshire Trees: An exhibition of painting, photography, poetry and puppets at Buxton Museum and Art Gallery, until 8th June 2022.

We know that the pandemic is affecting all of us and our families, too. Therefore, we understand that patients are frustrated with the state of all sorts of things.

As the world changes, our trees are under threat. With the effects of rising temperatures, forest clearance and diseases like Ash Dieback, we are losing trees all the time.

This year, with the Queen’s platinum Jubilee, there are plans to plant 1 million trees, and three Derbyshire artists invite people to look at trees more deeply.

The pandemic has put a great deal more work onto doctors, nurses, healthcare assistants and their support team.

The whole team is working harder than ever, all day and every day, to provide the level of healthcare you expect from this practice.

At this time, they really need your help understanding and kindness.

Three artists have worked individually, together and with the community to create this celebration of Derbyshire’s trees.

Sarah EA Parkin is a watercolour painter depicting Derbyshire Dales landscapes with trees and highlighting areas on the point of change.

Please, help the staff to help you, by: •

“With this exhibition, ‘Treasuring Trees’, we aim to encourage conversations about trees, to build a deeper understanding of the relationships between trees, landscapes and ourselves. We’d like people to celebrate Derbyshire’s trees,” says Sarah Parkin.

Protecting staff and other patients by staying away from the surgery if you have COVID symptoms to avoid possible transmission of the virus.

•

Speaking calmly and politely to medical staff and receptionists, whether in person, or on the phone.

Abuse of staff will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

•

Respect our staff and other patients by wearing a face covering at all times when in the practice building, unless you are medically exempt. Other patients waiting for appointments or the staff member you are seeing may be more vulnerable than you, and the reasons may not be visible.

•

Understanding if appointments have to be rearranged at short notice due to staff sickness or self-isolation. Unfortunately it is sometimes necessary to ensure the practice can be run safely for the benefit of all.

•

Being kind to those trying to help you and other patients seeking help. We are all in this together.

Gordon MacLellan is a poet, storyteller and puppeteer.

Drawing together personal work and community projects Gordon’s work reflects emotional responses to Ash Dieback and the changing woodland landscape.

Valerie Dalling is a Peak District photographer who has looked at birch trees in the National Park. Focusing on community health and wellbeing, her leisurely reflective approach encourages a deeper appreciation of the landscape. www.buxtonmuseumandartgallery.wordpress.com

Garden Tips

MARCH GARDEN TIPS

Words: Transition Chesterfield Images: Robert Nixon Betts

M

id-March onwards is the time to plant out potatoes, assuming that the weather is not too cold. If frost is forecast, simply delay the planting until it is over. Once the foliage starts to show, be prepared to cover it if a frost is forecast; most varieties will recover from a light frost but may be weakened, affecting the yield. The cover can be as simple as a sheet of newspaper – anything as long as the foliage isn't directly exposed to the freezing air will usually be fine at this time of year.

Plant onion sets and shallots. Birds sometimes think the tips are worms and pull them up; just push them back if this happens. To discourage the birds, run a few lines of black thread tightly over the bed.

Give perennial herbs a good tidy up, rosemary and sage can often do with a trim now and you can divide and replant clumps of chives and mint also. It is time to buy and plant out young plants of thyme, sage and rosemary.

If the weather is warm the lawn will start to grow, so if there's a dry day give it a cut with the blades set fairly high. Petrol mowers can usually cope with longer, wetter grass but electrics may struggle, so try not to ever let it get too long.

In March, seeds to sow indoors include tomatoes, aubergines, peppers, broccoli, calabrese, lettuce, Brussel sprouts, summer cabbage and try growing beetroot in clusters in modules.

Weeds will start into growth, so try to prevent them getting hold by regular weeding. At the same time you can prepare beds by lightly digging them over, incorporating any old compost you have.

Deadhead daffodils, letting the foliage die down naturally, then removing it when it starts to turn yellow. This is when the bulb's reserves of energy are restored, and it prepares for next year - tying it up prevents this happening efficiently and doesn't look nice.

There will be a lot more heat in the sun, so open greenhouse and conservatory doors if you have seedlings in them, so they don’t overheat. But clear sunny days often mean clear, chilly nights, so remember to close them again.

The winter, so far, has been kind to slugs and snails, so expect there to be lots this year. As it gets milder they will start to appear in the garden, so be prepared to combat them. There are lots of possible solutions (pellets, beer traps, and copper bands) but, whatever you do, you'll never entirely be rid of them, so concentrate your efforts on precious plants and small areas.

Plants in containers will appreciate a top dressing. Carefully remove an inch or so of soil and replace it with a new one suitable for containers; it might seem unnecessary to use different sorts of composts for different places but, especially with pots, the right kind makes a big difference.

We’ve now reached the time when the gardening year traditionally starts to get going, so there’s lots to do; keeping on top of it all is the key to success. However, it can be weather dependent - never worry if you can’t do something at the exact time columns like this say you should; relaxing and enjoying it is far more important; get round to things when you can. If you’re trying to get your children interested in gardening then all your good work could be undone by dragging them out into the cold and wet for several hours to do something that could well wait for a week or two.

Ticket Giveaway

GLENN TILBROOK SATURDAY 19 MARCH 2022 DEVIL'S ARSE CAVE CASTLETON

Glenn Tilbrook has more than earned his place at pop’s top table as one of our most cherished singers, guitarists, and songwriters, not to mention an in-demand and endlessly endearing live performer. But more than 40 years after he first answered an ad placed by Chris Difford looking for like-minded sorts to form the band that became the much-loved evergreen Squeeze, an ending is nowhere in sight.

Squeeze's demise in 1998 (though not permanent) saw Glenn embark on a solo career that spawned the albums The Incomplete Glenn Tilbrook (2001) and Transatlantic Ping-Pong (2004) showcasing an ever-maturing song writing talent. Arguably, though, Happy Ending is Glenn's most personal work to date, a series of evocative portraits of time, people, and places, that included writing and vocal contributions by his own children Leon and Wesley, in addition to old friends Simon Hanson (Fluffers/ Name:

reunited Squeeze drummer) and Dennis Greaves (Nine Below Zero, also Glenn's compatriot in the side project band The Co-operative).

Courtesy of Maria at MP Promotions we have a pair of tickets to give away to a lucky reader.

To be in with a chance of picking up the tickets: • Email GLENNTILBROOK to paul@s40local.co.uk • Text GLENNTILBROOK to 07764 801080 • Complete the form below, and send to: • GLENN TILLBROOK Giveaway S40 Local, West Studios S2, Sheffield Road, Chesterfield S41 7LL.

Where did it all go wrong?

Who knows?

Words & Images: Michael South

Page 60

W

elcome back my fellow Spireites. So, who saw that coming!?! Still think promotion is on the cards?

Who would have guessed James Rowe would end up suspended and then agreeing with the club to “terminate” his contract “with immediate effect by mutual consent” when he walked out down in London against the kings of European football last month, in the FA cup!?! Talk about the highs and lows of this beautiful game, in such a small time frame too. James was only the manager for 15 months or so, but in that time he; rescued the club from the depths of despair, brought the bounce back to the stands, rebuilt bridges with the fans, became the manager of a non-league club that actually scored against Chelsea FC. Also, let's not forget, he reached the top of the league...and the next thing, he's gone! But why?

Well, at the time of writing no-one officially knows, 'pending an investigation into allegations of misconduct’, is the official line. With a big sigh and a heavy heart, let's ask the obvious question, are we still on track for league 2 promotion?

So who stepped up?

After all the speculation Paul Cook has returned to Chesterfield FC to hopefully finish what he started 10 years ago, to gain promotion to the Championship - "Hopefully we can go up and go up again and restore the club to a place where I left it.” Paul was the 36th Chesterfield manager and now becomes the 45th with his reprisal.

You can't fail to be happy (well I certainly am) with his return and he's eagerness to continue where he left off, judging by his first interview with the club. Speaking of his “love” for the club, Cookie said he'd continued to follow us in the league, even after he departed. Whilst at Portsmouth and the following clubs he managed, and promoted, he kept a sad eye on Chesterfields decline down the leagues to where we inevitably crash landed in the National League. Now though, he can retake the reins and complete what Rowe/Webb started this season.

Chesterfield FC holds a special place for Paul as he admitted in his returning interview with the club.

"My love for Chesterfield is purely on the basis of what they gave me so it is a perfect opportunity for me.” Now, seven years on Paul becomes one of the few CFC managers to return as manager for a second stint. Others include John Sheridan and John Duncan. This time round he will be without Richardson by his side, he stayed on at Wigan Athletic when Cook left. Danny Webb will continue in his assistant role alongside Cook.

"I would not have dropped out of the Football League for any other team in the Conference."

Recent results.

After the cup game against Chelsea, Chesterfield returned to the bread and butter of league footy and travelled back down south, this time against Barnet. The Spireites continued to score, four in fact, to secure all three points for the blues.

Asante, too, bagged another to get on the score sheet again following on from his goal against Chelsea seven days earlier. Tshimanga also netted two, and King sealed the win in the 90th minute with the fourth.

Next up, that away game with Maidenhead United three days later where, even though Tshimanga and King scored again, Chesterfield lost 3-2.

After this, on the 22 January Chesterfield hosted Aldershot at home which ended goalless. This was the first 0-0 result of the Spireites' season under Rowe. After this game the boss was very vocal in his post match interview on the state of the pitch at the Technique Stadium not helping with the result. That was the last game that James Rowe managed for the club as, two days later, he was suspended for misconduct allegations.

Rowe's right hand man, Danny Webb was in charge for the next away game against Eastleigh which was a featured live game on BT Sports.

Personally the match was not the greatest football match ever to be televised, but that all changed in the 89th minute when Curtis Weston volleyed home a stunning strike from outside the box, flying like a missile into the back of the net leaving everyone speechless. Any premier league striker would be happy to claim that goal let me tell you!

The game, which didn't kick off until 5.20pm as we were on the telly box, saw Chesterfield dropped down to 6th in the league due to other promotion chasing teams kicking off at 3pm who all went on to win. But come the 90th minute we were back into second place with two games in hand.

The Dagenham and Redbridge game was the first game without Rowe and Danny Webb took charge for the home tie again. Keeping some structure and belief in the existing squad to continue the momentum to fight for promotion is paramount now until we secure our next gaffer, but what does the future hold? Right now, as a Spireite, it's quite daunting given the promising road we were on just a couple of weeks ago when everything seemed to be on track. Let's just remember though that the whole set up at the club is still more stable since the Community Trust took over in 2020. So that's a good place to remain hopeful and to rebuild. Trust the Trust. Last up, unfortunately our goal scoring machine Tshimanga, our top scorer, is now out due to injury, wishing him a speedy recovery.

COYB's!
