S40 Local - 150 Summer 2024

ISSUE 150 SUMMER 2024 The community magazine for Acorn Ridge, Ashgate, Brampton, Brookside, Holymoorside, Somersall & Walton

Cover: Jonathan Nadin

Intro

Hi all, I'll admit that I've found this edition a bit difficult... Why? Summer holidays!

So many people are off work, out and about, staying in exotic locations and generally having a fab time. We managed to escape very early on as our kids are both in their exam years but it made coming back to work very hard to get into. I wonder how many hours are lost as we gaze out of the window wondering where else we could be and what else we could be doing?

Having said this, I love what I do and realise how lucky I am to do it. The award for the person most committed to S40 Local must go to Sara Sheppard (see her article) who scaled a cliff to get a signal so we could get her article approved. Thanks for the effort Sara, it was appreciated.

This edition's cover pic shows the Red Arrows flying over Somersall watched by Kirsten and Bertie. They were en route to the Southport Airshow, the Red Arrows that is not Kirsten and Bertie! The Parent Staff Association at Walton and Holymoorside School had been in touch with the display team to see if they could divert? Turns out they could and flew over the school as the summer fair was underway. What a fab result, well done to all involved in making this happen.

This edition is packed as usual, I had Sophia with me on work experience so sent her out to shop with the independents in town, read about her 'Super' market experience. I chatted with local Team GB athlete Sara Sheppard, I learnt about fostering and how rewarding it can be, and we have couple of giveaways, the 'Adventure For Kids' book by Saul and Henry Taylor, plus tickets to see Elvis... Not the real Elvis obviously, but one of the top tribute acts there is, Chris Connor.

We've also changed the look of our what's on and regular events, splitting them up into categories to make it easier to find those things you want to go to.

Have a fab rest of summer and we'll catch up soon with the Autumn edition.

Paul.

Shopping

The 'Real' Super Market Sweep Supermarkets vs. Independents Words & Image: Sophia Derby Shopping at independent businesses is undeniably important for supporting and sustaining our local community.

So then, why do so many of us shop exclusively in supermarkets? The answer is pretty simple, because they’re convenient. To find out what this convenience is costing us, I challenged myself to go on a shopping trip in our town’s centre without stepping inside a supermarket.

Not an adventurous cheese lover myself but having a boyfriend who can’t get enough of the stuff, (sadly the smellier the better) I began my shopping trip at the Cheese Factor. I asked a lovely lady behind the counter for a recommendation, she was more than happy to help and suggested her favourite, Blue Stilton. She walked me through the different cheeses from their taste to their texture to help me find the right one as well as recommending her favourite olives to go with them.

As an indecisive shopper, having someone to confer with and get a second opinion from was a great help. I often spend my time deliberating over which option to choose from in supermarkets, so getting advice from a knowledgeable shop assistant made a world of difference.

Although there are customer service assistants dotted around supermarkets, (but seemingly never close by when you need one) they’re often teenagers who, let’s be honest, aren’t exactly enthusiastic about the produce on the shelves.

Whereas, those working in independent businesses know their products inside out and have a genuine passion for what they’re selling. So, when you ask for a recommendation you know it'll be a good one!

I then headed across to Meadowfresh for some rashers of smoked back bacon and one of their delicious pies. After my bacon was wrapped up, I was presented with the very difficult task of choosing from a selection of tasty looking pies. Learning Page 4

from my experience at the Cheese Factor, I asked the shop assistant for their favourite filling which turned out to be lamb and mint, which I can now confirm did not disappoint. Maybe because it’s a family run business, I felt comfortable enough to strike up a conversation with the staff as well as other customers around me. It was at this point I began to realise shopping at independent businesses is a great way to socialise with people in the local area. It also began to feel as though this mundane chore was turning into a social outing that I could look forward to rather than just another thing to tick off my to-do list.

Afterall, it’s these small but significant choices that have an impactful and lasting effect on our community.

Walking over to Ibbotson's fruit and veg on the outdoor market, I was pleased to find that the fruit and veg were not prepackaged and wrapped in plastic. Instead, the fruit and veg were placed in bowls and wooden crates meaning I was able to get exactly how much produce I needed and avoid unnecessary waste. Fancying a pear for my lunch, I was able to buy a single pear without worrying about having to buy a whole packet or without bothering with weighing and printing off a label like at the supermarket.

In fact, I didn’t have to do anything other than read out my shopping list. I handed over my shopping bag to the helpful lady behind the counter and she packed it full of everything I needed from nectarines to a very specific ½ Ib of cherries. Doing the hard work for me, I really appreciated the service I received, and the human interaction made a nice change from serving myself at the self-service checkouts.

Feeling pleased with my purchases so far, I made my way to the Pavements Shopping

www.chesterfieldlocal.com

Centre for a loaf of handmade sourdough bread. I visited the lovely cafe and bakery, Forge Bakehouse, who offer a great selection of homemade breads, pastries and baked goods, choosing a delicious and nutritious seeded sourdough loaf. With lots of us becoming more aware of the negative effects caused by ultra-processed foods on our health, bakeries offering handmade sourdough breads are a great way to avoid those ultra-processed breads often found on supermarket shelves.

I then visited Street Spirit for a few beers for me and my boyfriend to enjoy in the sun. With such a wide variety of colourful craft beer tins and creatively named IPAs, and not a clue what any of it meant, I asked for some well-needed guidance. Without the assistance from the wonderfully helpful lady behind the counter, I would probably have spent an hour just trying to read the different descriptions of each flavour. Asking me questions about my taste preferences, she helped me

narrow it down to four different flavours all within my £4-6 price range. The deliciously sweet ‘cake’ flavoured craft beer was a favourite of hers and definitely lived up to expectations.

By shopping at independent businesses, it became apparent that the convenience of the supermarket is costing us the experience of engaging in real human interactions as well as making us overly reliant on and trusting of international brands instead of unbranded locally sourced produce. So, perhaps next time, rather than nipping into a supermarket for a meal deal out of convenience, visit an independent deli and engage in a real human interaction and support our local businesses. After all, it’s these small but significant choices that have an impactful and lasting effect on our community.

Tri, Tri, Tri & Tri Again Four times silver medalist Chesterfield's Sara Sheppard tells her Triathlon story.

Words: Paul Chapman Images: Sara Sheppard Sara Sheppard dropped me an email after reading about Ann and Malcolm our masters 10k runners, Sara competes in the GB Age Group team in Duathlon and Triathlon in her age category, she also happens to be a four times silver medallist and lives in Ashgate.

I caught up with Sara and husband Gary at 94 Coffee on Chatsworth Road (if you like coffee you really should give them a try if you haven’t already) to learn more about the events and Sara’s route into them.

“I worked at Esporta Health Club in Millhouses and someone I worked with said I’d be good at triathlon, I just dismissed it as a rather unique chat up line!” says Sara. “I didn’t really swim and my last bike I owned was a Raleigh as a kid.”

However, the comment spiked her interest. “I went along to Racing TNT Triathlon Team in Sheffield and started running,” says Sara. “I’d travelled from the age of 19 and I returned to Chesterfield aged 30 due to a family illness. I’d always been into music; I’d attended music school in Los Angeles and didn’t really know where my career was going. I was working in gyms and was finding that my running was going from strength to strength.

“I purchased a bike from JE James and the guys at TNT commented that I was a natural on a bike. I’d go out with the men’s groups and was chasing them down, I was loving it.”

Sara was doing the safety slot at the pools for the TNT training nights by now at Doncaster Lake. “I’d hand out wetsuits and take money from people, we might have up to 200 people in the lake but I never went into the water myself, I’d never liked swimming,” says Sara.

“At this time I was working at the gym as an instructor and personal trainer.

A lady asked if I could help with some weight loss sessions for her, I knew she was a keen swimmer, so we traded skills.

“I started in lane four, the slow lane, one evening and over time moved to the faster lanes to the point that I was outswimming some of the guys.”

It was 2011 when Sara entered her first triathlon, and she was instantly hooked. In 2012 she finished sixth in her age group at a Rother Valley Sprint event. “This gave me a qualifying time for Team GB for my age group for the following year and I’ve successfully qualified every year since.”

2013 was the first year Sara raced for Team GB. “People don’t realise that you don’t need to be elite to represent your country. I think it’s my enthusiasm that has resulted in four silver medals in duathlon, these are races across three stages, a 5km run, a 20km bike finishing with a 2.5km run… 1 hour and ten minutes and it’s all done,” Sara laughs.

Sara’s time line is; 2013 first European race in triathlon, Turkey, 2014 triathlon at Kitzbuhel Austria, 2015 Switzerland triathlon, 2016 Germany Page 8

Sport Sara tells me that it’s great to see other parts of the world, husband Gary and Isla in tow. Gary came along to meet up with Sara and it was clear that these two have a blast doing what they do. Gary admits to chasing Sara on his charity shop bike before they met, now riding alongside, supporting and helping her with the training schedule.

Gary has a passion for sailing and told me of their first trip out on the boat, going from mill pond conditions to 55 knot winds, “I thought, oh no I’ve blown it, but it was just the start of many adventures we’d experience together.”

“I’ll be running in the London Landmarks half marathon event in April 2025, running for Down’s Syndrome UK,” says Sara. “A charity obviously very close to my heart so I’m keen to support them for all the fabulous work they do to support people.”

duathlon through a disused nuclear plant come theme park, 2017 Soria Spain duathlon, 2017 Germany triathlon.

In 2019 Sara became pregnant, giving birth to her daughter she took four years out to enjoy time with Isla.

2023 Italy duathlon, 2024 Portugal duathlon, and in 2025 …Poland duathlon!

“Isla was born with Down’s Syndrome, and I’ve found this motivated me massively to keep going, I need to stay fit and healthy to support her. Training is hard work fitting everything in around work and being mum but it’s all definitely worth it.”

In 2022 Sara qualified at Clumber Park for Venice 2023 and she admits that, although over weight from baby Isla, she finished in 3rd place at Clumber.

Venice, 2023 she picked up a silver and qualified for 2024.

It was her first big race wearing her tri-suit using logos and showing support for Down’s Syndrome, great for social media coverage and in this year, she overcame nerves to speak at a UK Charity ball about what she does.

Coimbra, Portugal 2023, another silver. “Performance now is as much mental as it is physical,” Sara points out.

“In races I just tell myself to keep pushing, draughting is allowed on the bike so the first run is so important to get a good place in the first bike group leaving transition. My 5k time of 20:11 was fast enough to get out on the bike in the lead pack. The final run went well, and I was pleased to come away with silver, although I’m still chasing that elusive gold.”

Page 10

I really enjoyed meeting up with Sara and Gary, and Sara’s enthusiasm for the sport she loves is infectious. She as very keen to encourage young people who want to try duathlon and triathlon to track down their local club and get involved.

Sara trains with Chesterfield Triathlon Club should you want to check them out.

Fostering

Could you offer a child a home?

Come along to Deja Vu to meet foster carers and learn more about this rewarding experience.

Sunday 22 September 2024 Deja Vu - 9am to midday Words: Paul Chapman Images: Parellel Parents Have you ever considered fostering a child, or children? Something scaring you away? Maybe you should pop down to Déjà vu on 22 September between 9am and midday where you’ll find foster carers and foster children who can tell you their story and experiences first hand, plus there will be local fostering agency workers from Parallel Parents.

Becky Priest and husband Tim are local foster carers and will be on hand to welcome you and share their experiences. “The need for foster carers is increasing as more children enter the system but this is matched in reality to a falling number of carers,” explains Becky. “We need people who are considering fostering to come along, additional carers not only allow children to find homes but also allow those presently caring to take regular respite and breaks.”

The actual figures saw a decrease in carers by 1045 in 2019 whilst additional children needing support rose by 5690 leaving a massive shortfall.

“These are young people wanting either full time support or emergency care where they may have

Page 14

been removed from situations that put them at risk just a few hours ago,” says Becky. “In the event that space is not available with foster carers children enter residential care homes which are not always suitable for children who could cope with being placed in a family home. Residential homes have traditionally been for children who have more behavioural issues where a family home isn’t appropriate.”

There are also instances where both parent and baby are looking for foster care, supporting them to a point where they can move on and live independently. Also, many siblings get separated as result of fostering, siblings split up and are often taken out of the county in which their family and siblings live.

So, what do you need to be a foster carer? Becky answers with “you need the bandwidth to help, be over 21 years of age, have a spare room (or rooms) and have a willingness to learn.”

Foster carers come from a diverse set of backgrounds, as do the children in care. “Diversity, race, religion, sexuality etc doesn’t matter,” says Becky. “We need to match children to families and that covers all, there is no such thing as a typical foster carer, the children need to be in a place where they can be comfortable, a place they can call home.”

Fostering comes with a financial allowance for each child taken into your home. It’s a tax-free allowance and is considerable, some people make a full-time career from fostering. Ultimately, placing a child with a carer is more cost effective than residential care.

There is also a development scale for carers that pays an additional allowance based on experience

www.chesterfieldlocal.com

etc and agency rates are often more than those paid by local authorities. It can feel awkward to discuss finances when speaking about looked after children, but it can be a rewarding career, many people take in children as their own leave home.

Do you love the process of bringing up, supporting, and nurturing children? Maybe becoming a foster carer is for you?

I asked what happens long term to those in care.

“Children are placed with carers either by local authorities or fostering agencies, it differs from adoption as the desire is always to try to keep families together and the long-term aim is to bring them back together.

“Once children reach the age of 18, they have the option to live independently and hopefully the care and guidance given by their foster carers puts them in a great position.”

“All children in foster care have a permanent social worker and foster carers are also supported by a social worker, so you are never on your own in the process.”

life and a family they could be part of, we have our own children so it’s a fabulous mix of people in our home.”

Parallel Parents are the agency that Becky and Tim work with, they are an Ofsted Outstanding agency, they cover the immediate area, assign a personal social worker, provide training, and help fund days out for families and children. I could tell from the couple that they felt well supported by the agency.

If this has sparked some interest, please drop into Déjà vu, chat to agency representatives, children, carers and enjoy a complimentary drink and refreshments. Becky was keen to point out that there is absolutely no obligation to get involved but if you have the faintest interest, they’d love to see you.

More details can be found on FB as below. bit.ly/fosteringdejavu

Becky and Tim started fostering five years ago and love what they do. “It’s lovely having young people around, our present children have very different backgrounds so conversation around the dinner table is always interesting.

“It’s not all wonderful though, you must set rules and a framework for what is expected. We’ve been aware of the shortage of carers and wanted to help by running the open doors session on 22 September. Hopefully by sharing our story and experiences with people we can encourage others to get involved.”

“It’s just not as scary as people might think. The children we have just wanted some stability in their

Out & About

Adventure For Kids Local authors Saul & Henry Taylor encourage us to get out and climb.

Words: Paul Chapman Images: Saul Taylor

As summer is here, we are constantly looking for ways to keep the kids entertained, well what about taking them for a climb in the Peak District but perhaps you don't know where to start? Local author Saul Taylor can fix that for you with his new book, Adventures for Kids.

Written by Saul and his son, Henry, it's postcard sized so perfect for little hands and was published last year. It is aimed at children and the families of children aged between toddler age (depending on the confidence of you guys, the parents).

Saul says, "the book features lots of photos of children in action and all boulder problems and routes have been tested by youngsters of various sizes, which means they're definitely possible but the grading might be a bit off!"

The book covers little climbers all the way up to the age where the youngsters would naturally graduate to a standard bouldering or route guide.

"This next stage is typically reached as youngsters grow a bit and are able to reach the holds they Page 18

previously couldn't or they are simply getting better at climbing," Saul explains.

Each climbs contains information on the location and how to reach it, bus routes close by, parking location with a what3words reference together with nearby places to eat.

The climbs are then listed and named so you know what you're looking for and pictures show you clearly where your youngsters will need to climb.

The book is available online at www.futureprimitive.co.uk for £20 (no additional postage costs) or you can buy one over the counter from Outside in Hathersage, you could even go for an outdoor swim at the Lido.

Should you fancy your chances you could always opt to enter our giveaway! Saul has kindly donated a copy of the book for us to give away to a lucky reader.

CRATCLIFFE

INFORMATION FOR...

Like a lost underwater world, Cratcliffe emerges slowly from the hill. It’s an ancient place that looks like a pod of whales surfacing in the middle of the ocean so tread very carefully making sure that you don’t disturb their journey. In amongst these larger creatures are lots of smaller ones too and they don’t mind you climbing on them. There are crabs, lobsters, fish and sharks all over the place so get ready to explore in the seaweed and if you come across any new friends, put them back where you found them.

Circular route with some established tracks, grassed areas, meadows and wooded sections.

2.5km.

172, Bakewell to Matlock bus (Hulleys), walking 1.5km from either Birchover or Elton.

Lay by on Cliff Lane, leaving the road clear for other traffic.

Cratcliffe and Robin Hood’s Stride is an easy place to lose an afternoon, but be warned that there are some very tall crags here. Away from the grassy areas, young children will need to be supervised to avoid an accident.

THINGS TO SEE AT...

Hermit’s Cave In the middle ages, the Church paid hermits to give food and directions to travellers and whoever lived here might have taken you to Youlgreave or Chatsworth. At Cratcliffe the empty cave stills stands with its walled front, gutters, holes for roofing timbers and well preserved crucifix on the back wall.

Rabbits When it gets quiet, you can see a lot of rabbits in the fields around Cratcliffe.

Squirrel The woods below Cratcliffe are home to lots of mischievous squirrels.

Pine Trees Below Cratcliffe is a steep hillside covered with Black Pine and Oak trees.

Yew Tree There are two yew trees planted outside of the Hermit’s Cave. The trees are connected to religious sites because of their colour; the heart wood is red while the sap wood is white. Yew trees can live for a long time and are often associated with the afterlife and they also provide lots of shade and a nice spot for a picnic.

Swim 121

Making waves for wellness Words and images: Swim 121 In a stride towards inclusivity and wellness, Swim121 have announced ambitious plans to revolutionise their current site in Hasland, marking two decades of excellence in swimming tuition.

Their plan is to create a new purpose built swim complex, including a second 9x4m same level pool, dedicated to expanding their tuition and rehabilitation services. A new fully accessible, energy efficient structure will house the reception, changing and shower areas, parent viewing and plant facilities.

The team also plan to overhaul the forecourt parking area. This redesign will make the car park easier to access as well as increasing the parking bays from 16 to 29, including dedicated disabled bays and a bike station.

Accessibility for all is at the heart of this development. The new pool will feature specialised apparatus, ensuring seamless pool entry for all guests. This will remove barriers and ensure that swimming remains an activity which is open to everyone.

As well as the traditional 121 tuition, the revamped facility will also allow time slots for other people or companies to hire the pool to

Setting a new standard in aquatic wellness, the redesigned pools will boast amazing new features such as well-designed changing areas to meet the needs of every user and sensory lighting, tailored to accommodate individuals with sensory sensitivities. From relaxation and meditation sessions including water pilates and baby swimming, the facility will offer a great range of experiences designed to engage and enrich all who walk through its doors.

“We are thrilled to unveil our plans for the future of Swim121,” remarked Lynn Booth, owner at Swim121. “This milestone not only marks twenty years of unwavering commitment to the swimming industry but also heralds a new era of innovation and inclusivity. With these proposed developments, we aspire to enhance the swimming experience that we offer and if the project is granted through planning, this development will bring new jobs to our local community as well as a program of health and wellbeing open to all."

Adventures in 'Ducky' Words & Images: Sol & James Cowie

Split or Bust Banger rally challenge fundraiser for B:friend Team ‘Ducky’ are going ‘quackers’ again!

We are Sol and James Cowie, a couple from Chesterfield in Derbyshire fundraising for B:Friend, a local charity which combats loneliness by matching volunteers with isolated older people in neighbouring communities. https://letsbfriend.org. uk/ In September, this year we will once again be taking our trusted Astra convertible (Ducky) on another banger rally challenge! As before, we will be (mainly) dressed as Ducks ourselves and we are hoping that we can raise even more funds for B:friend than before!

Last year we embarked on an epic journey through 7 countries in 7 days, starting in Cornwall and ending in St Tropez in the South of France. We travelled over 3000 miles through France, The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, Switzerland, Italy and Monaco, together with 130 other enthusiastic participants who took part in 55 bangers, all dressed in their own fancy dress, raising money for their own chosen charities.

a lap around the famous Spa Francorchamps racetrack in Belgium! When we arrived at our campsites in the early evenings and after putting up our inflatable tent we met up with our fellow ralliers for a meal and regaling stories of our day's adventures.

This year ‘Ducky’, now 18 years old, will hopefully take us all the way to Split in Croatia! Starting from Charlestown in Cornwall on the 20th September, we are heading to Portsmouth and then catching a ferry to Caen in France.

We will have 7 days to get through 7 countries on the way, however the route and challenges are still a mystery…

As before we are offering YOU the chance to come with us! In the form of a DUCK! We have loads of duck stickers on Ducky and for every donation received, we will add your name on a DUCK sticker! The bigger the donation, the bigger the DUCK! Maybe you have a business and want to get your company name on a DUCK and your logo on the car then please get in touch about becoming a sponsor.

All the details on how to donate and how to follow our journey on socials can be found on our website: www.eyupduck.co.uk

‘St Tropez or Bust ‘23’ was an amazing adventure with challenges and fun all the way. We were only given the following day's destination along with a list of challenges the evening before. The challenges involved taking selfies at landmarks, re-enacting historic events, ‘carpool karaokes’, quiz questions, eating local delicacies and many more fun and unusual tasks. We even got to do Page 26

Tickled Pink @The Tickled Trout Words & Image: Press Release Chris Mapp, owner of the 1 AA rosette Tickled Trout in Barlow has been awarded 'best pub restaurant chef' in the UK at the Craft Guild Of Chefs Awards ceremony. Presented to Chris by HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh, he picked up the award at the London Grosvenor Hotel in June.

Chris trained in London in Michelin star restaurants, he couldn’t believe his luck when his old local in Barlow came up for sale 10 years ago and has worked tirelessly since to transform the Tickled Trout into a stunning dining pub that the village can feel proud of. Chris is a patron of Springboard, an organisation that inspires young people into careers in hospitality, as well as Future Chef, a schools-based programme that supports the development of key life skills whilst inspiring young people to pursue a hospitality career.

Chris joins a long list of renowned chefs who have previously won this award such as Tom Kerridge.

Chris says: “It was such an honour to receive this esteemed award as the UK's best pub restaurant chef especially as this is recognition from the Craft Guild of Chefs. Having it presented to me by the Duchess of Edinburgh made the moment very special.

"In my 10th year as owner of the Tickled Trout my passion for producing high quality dishes using local seasonal ingredients is as strong as ever and I am incredibly proud of and thankful to the wonderful team who work alongside me."

Ben Vernon Charity Ride Words: Nigel Vernon Fancy a family ride or stretching the legs to 15 miles in aid of charity. The Ben Vernon Charity Ride is back again this year on Sunday 15 September starting on Vicar Lane.

"Just checking back, we have raised close to £8,400 for two cancer charities after five events. Our best fund raising year was 2020," says Nigel Vernon, Ben's dad.

"My brother Andy and sister Linda did a Tour de Peak District, raising £2,300 for Cancer Research UK - well connected those two!

"The rides typically attract 30 to 35 riders on average at each of the rides, so it would be really good to see this event grow, supporting a very worthy cause, Cancer research UK. "If you fancy a ride out please dig out the pump, oil that chain and drop down to Vicar Lane on Sunday 15 September telling all your friends on the way.

"Thank you in anticipation of your support for this event.

In memory of our wonderful Ben All rides will be self supportive - please bring your own drinks, food, etc.

To donate please visit: justgiving.com/page/tribute-to-ben-vernon-event-6 and read our story or donate on the day - all donations gratefully received

A Mini Version of Tapton Lock Festival for 2024!

Words & Images: Junction Arts Junction Arts is thrilled to present the Tapton Lock Mini Festival on Sunday 8 September.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the arts charity is unable to stage the full weekend event this year but wanted to offer a mini festival for all its loyal visitors to enjoy.

Project Manager, Jane Wells said. “We’re excited to present the Tapton Mini for 2024, a small but perfectly formed event taking place around the Visitor Centre at Tapton Lock. You can take a trip on a narrow boat, try the ever-popular ‘Have a Go’ canoes or take part in two artist-led workshops to make something beautiful to take home.

Junction Arts is also delighted to present our newly commissioned theatre piece, The Journey from Here to Now. With contributions from children and young people in and around Chesterfield, Adverse Camber, an independent storytelling company has created a unique and brand new promenade performance. There will be three shows during the day for visitors to watch, walk with or participate in!

Junction Arts would like to reassure Tapton fans that they are already working hard planning next year’s event which will be better than ever! There will be all the things you’ve grown to love as well as some sensational new additions.

Out & About

Cromford Mills Comicon is Comicool!

Words & Images: Simon Paterson “I love Cromford Mills; it’s a joyful place,” says Bekah.

And Bekah is spot on—Cromford Mills is indeed a special place, brimming with history, stunning architecture, and charming independent shops This summer, I visited Cromford Mills twice: once for a picnic and a leisurely stroll around the shops with the kids (I’m a sucker for cheese and books), and once for their annual Comicon event.

As a self-confessed geek—someone who plays Dungeons & Dragons, video games, reads graphic novels, sci-fi and fantasy books, and watches independent cinema...I was chuffed to see Cromford Mills host their second annual Comicon.

For those who’ve never been to a Comicon, let me paint a picture. It’s a community-driven event where fans of comics, movies, TV shows, and pop culture unite. Imagine people in elaborate costumes (cosplay), themed stalls offering art, collectibles, and memorabilia, and panels where creators and actors share stories and sneak peeks.

On the guest panel this year was Doctor Who, well an actor who previously played the part of Doctor Who – Colin Baker. Colin was answering questions, signing autographs, posing for photographs and threatening the daleks!

I met John B. Tannen, a real-life stuntman who has starred in blockbuster movies like Aquaman and the creatively titled Batman movie; The Batman.

I’m happy to report that all his limbs were intact, and his stories were just as cool as you’d imagine!

I also met Hugh Spight, a world leading costume actor who played parts in the Dark Crystal, Doctor Who and Star Wars, sharing a scene with Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamilll) no less. Very cool, if like me, you love a bit of Star Wars, as in, have seen all the movies, TV Shows and read several books!

There was some fantastic memorabilia on display, including Starbug (Red Dwarf), Stingray and a fully functioning Johnny 5 from the movie Short Circuit. Check out the video on our Instagram and Facebook pages - I was impressed!

This year, they added professional wrestling to the mix, and I’d never seen it live before. I was pretty impressed with the athletes’ acrobatics, strength, and charisma. But I couldn’t help thinking about the lower back pain they’re all going to face when they Page 38

hit 40... when that time comes, I highly recommend a visit to Dan in the Shiatsu Bus! Florie and I had a wonderful time at Comicon... though I might have enjoyed it a bit more than she did! For a full list of events at Cromford Mills, scan the QR code above.

Wellbeing

Supporting Your Wellbeing Free Health & Wellbeing Day hosted by Chatsworth Wellbeing Centre Sunday 22 September 2024 10am to 5pm Casa Hotel Lockoford Lane Chesterfield S41 7JB Did you know that there is a vibrant community of expert practitioners, businesses, and specialists in Chesterfield who have the skills and services that can support your health & wellbeing?

At Chatsworth Wellbeing Centre we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to find ways to look after and feel great about themselves.

What better way to open up your world of possibilities than to come along to our Chesterfield Health & Wellbeing Day on 22 September 2024!

Our Health & Wellbeing Day is free to visit and open to all. It’s a chance to find out more about what’s on offer locally, to try out different therapies and skills, as well as meet people who are specialists in their field.

Casa Hotel on Lockofrod Lane is our beautiful home for the day from 10am to 5pm. We’ll be taking over space on the ground floor, first and sixth floors to share interactive workshops, stands and stalls as well as mini taster treatments.

Our desire to bring all of the wonderful specialists together is fuelled by an awareness that many people have heard about different therapies, treatments, or activities but haven’t known who to contact, or have been nervous about reaching out.

This can feel especially challenging if you’re in the midst of a health challenge.

•

New skills to support yourself and share with others who are close to you.

•

The chance to meet new people and exploring new options.

We wanted a way to give our health & wellbeing specialists a space to share their knowledge and give you a chance to learn, participate and enjoy.

Throughout the day you can: •

choose which of the 14 different interactive workshops you’d like to take part in,

•

chat with 30+ local health & wellbeing businesses who will be sharing their products and services, or

•

book yourself in to one of our therapists offering a mini taster treatments for £10 to £15 each.

Snap the QR code to reserve your space on the day.

If you want to be involved or have any questions, please contact us at the email and FB below.

So, we’ve got you covered if you're curious about ways to improve your health & wellbeing with: •

Complementary therapies to work alongside your medical support or alternative, nonmedical options to support you.

•

Ways to improve your general health and fitness, train with a specific goal in mind, rehab an injury or change the things in your life that are causing frustration, resentment, anxiety and unhappiness.

We look forward to meeting you on Sunday 22 September!

Garden Tips

Summer Tips...

For a sustainable garden Words: Transition Chesterfield & Inspire Community Garden Image: lilartsy @unsplash.com If you’re growing tomatoes or potatoes there’s a real chance of blight – a fungal plant disease which thrives in wet weather. Its symptoms are brown freckles or patches with yellow borders on the leaves, which spread and cause them to rot. If you suspect any plants are infected, immediately destroy the foliage and bury it or put in the green bin – don’t compost it. You’ll have to sacrifice any affected tomatoes, but if you’ve detected it soon enough potato tubers will still be edible.

Keep sowing quick-maturing salad crops – rocket, radishes, mixed leaves and some lettuces are all candidates – they’ll go on growing until the first frosts. It’s a great way of saving money on supermarket salad bags and reducing plastics. Several lettuce varieties including Winter Density, Great Lakes and Lambs lettuce (corn salad) will last through the winter.

Prune hedges; all the nesting birds should have fledged, and pruning now will give time for some new growth to thicken the hedge up while it’s still warm.

If you’ve got empty patches of soil, consider sowing a green manure; this will cover the ground and is then dug in to improve its fertility. Healthy soil = healthy garden.

Pick soft fruits. Avoid letting fruit rot on the plant, which will encourage disease. Cut out old raspberry canes once you’ve picked all the fruit.

There’s quite a range of vegetables that can be sown now and left to over-winter in the ground, too many to list here. Have a look in a book or online – try a few different sites to see what they recommend.

If your lawn has a tendency to collect water on the surface, it’s probably compacted. To fix this, go over it with a fork, pushing it in to a depth of at least six inches, every nine inches or so. Then wiggle it gently back and forth, pull it out and brush or pour sand into the holes (builders sharp sand is fine – the horticultural stuff isn’t necessary for this).

Whilst it’s tempting to deadhead flowers which have gone over, leave some for the birds to feast on e.g. sunflowers, lavender and rose hips.

That dry sunny day is probably the best chance you’ll get to paint the fence/shed/greenhouse. There is a kind of love called ‘maintenance’!

If you have a surfeit of fruit you’d like to donate or need help picking you could contact our Abundance volunteers – for details see or our website or Facebook page. www.transitionchesterfield.org.uk Page 58
