A big thank you to everyone who came along and joined in the Carols. White Christmas was a definite highlight but not sure we are quite ready for X factor!

The Carnival and Recreation Committee would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support throughout the year and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. We would also like to thank Tarmac for their very generous donation of the Christmas tree and lights and Rob Clarke for the yummy mince pies.

Just wanted to say congratulations and thank you to Kirsty and her team for organising this spectacular Black Tie Ball in aid of Air Ambulance. The Hall was transformed into a dramatic, glittering atmospheric venue worthy of the occasion and The Ball attendees dressed up to match. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and served by her capable staff. The very ‘live’ band provided music that stirred most people into dancing. We had a great night raising money for a very worthy charity and hope to see it repeated again. Perhaps Kirsty will be able to post how much was raised when she has sorted everything out but meantime, thank you for a successful and enjoyable evening.

There is a fault again with the 02 mast and we have not been receiving signals since about 3pm today. I am informed that engineers are working on a fix. If anyone else in the village is without mobile service can they please report it to their provider, the more people that do may help to get this ongoing issue resolved. Thank you

Hoe Grange Quarry

The first Open Day for Derbyshire’s first Butterfly Reserve has been organised for Sunday the 23rd of July from 11 am to 3 pm.

Members of Butterfly Conservation East Midlands, including Ray Walker (Hon Warden), Derek Brownlee (Hon Assistant Warden) together with Pat and Ken Orpe will be able to show visitors around this abandoned limestone quarry where already 24 species of butterflies have been recorded including Dark Green Fritillary and the Peak District version of the Brown Argus. It will also be possible to see the work that many volunteers have done to enhance the habitat so as to increase the biodiversity at the site.

Directions. From the cross road in the centre of Longcliffe village, proceed in a north westerly direction towards Slipper Low Farm and just after the brow of the first hill, take the first left, just before a bungalow, and then proceed down a limestone track and park by the entrance gates to the Nature Reserve at the end of the track (SK222562).
