Here are couple of potentially interesting items from this week’s Ashbourne News Telegraph:
- p.1 & 3 Our local bobby PC Ian Copper prevented a visitor to the Ashbourne Police Station from becoming a human torch (see also our Police page). Well done Ian.
- p.2 Derbyshire County Council launches a campaign on fly tipping. They are keen to prosecute, and conviction can result in a £50,000 or 12 months in jail. To report fly tipping ring 08456 058058, and for details of firms that legally dispose of rubbish call 08708 506506.
- p.7 Alison Love (daughter of Jill) is picture collecting a heritage award for the Museum of Childhood at Sudbury Hall. Well done Ali, you certainly seem to be keeping Sudbury Hall in the news.
- p.17 The English National Sheepdog Trials to take place at Blore Pastures, Illam this Friday to Sunday (8am to 5pm each day.
- p.21 Ashbourne Methodist Church Holiday Club will run from the 11th to the 15th of August. Places must be booked by Saturday (contact Di Lambert 344503 for details and a registration form).
As always do let us know about anything we have missed.
