Are all the movers and shakers of Alsop, Ballidon, Parwich & Pikehall on holiday? Well here are some possible local interest items in today’s (27th August 2008) Ashbourne News Telegraph:
- p.2 Hartington Cheese Factory is now officially owned by Long Clawson Dairy Ltd. People wanting to comment on this to the OFT have until Friday (either email the case officer Marie Didierlaurent on marie.didierlaurant@oft.gsi.gov.uk or phone her on 0207 211 8427).
- p.3 QEGS students again set new records, this time with their GCE results. Congratulations to all, particularly to Catherine B who achieved 10 A/A* grades. The Great Roberto may be over shadowed by the successes of the next generation. (Denstone College students also achieved excellent results.)
- p.5 On Saturday Ashbourne councillors will be undertaking a traffic survey, volunteers to help are wanted. This is part of their campaign for an Ashbourne bypass on the A515.
- p.6 The suspect in the Biggin cannabis raid, Ming Huang, was remanded in custody to appear in court again this week (see our previous post).
- p.27 Wirksworth Festival‘s Art & Architecture Trail is to run on the weekend of 6/7th September.
- p.28 Craft Fair in Tissington village hall on Saturday.
- p.28 The Riff Raff Festival will be taking place on 12, 13 & 14th of September near Hulland Ward. Tickets limited to 400.
- p.29 Ashbourneis ahead of Parwich in the race to provide allotments (see our previous post). The 1908 Smallholding and Allotments Act states councils should be funding such endeavors.
- p.38 Public Notice issued by County Council re. new speed limits on stretches of the A515. Various additional 30, 40 and 50 mph speed restrictions to be applied. It effects our stretch but the notice does not make it clear what speed limits are being imposed where.
- p45 Report on Bradbourne Fell race, but their photographer seems to have missed ‘son of’ and Graham (see our post for more photos).
- p.46 Presentation of trophies last Friday night for the Summer Pool League. The Sycamore was runner up for the Captains Trophy.
- p.47 Results of the Summer League Footballlist Biggin in fourth place over all, though a few matches are still to be played this week.
As always let us know what we have missed.

My profound apologies to Catherine B. The newspaper report, sold her results short; in fact she had 10 A* and 2 A grade GCSEs. Her academic achievements definitely outshine the sporting ones of the Great Roberto.
