Preparations for Wakes continue a pace. Think of those working hard to prepare our fun.
The fair moved onto the Green on Monday & Tuesday, fortunately the ground is a bit more solid this year.

This week’s Ashbourne Telegraph
Posted in Gardens, News, Wakes on Wednesday June 18, 2008| 1 Comment »
Local news features more this week in the Ashbourne News Telegraph with a stunning photo on the cover of a crashed car (although it perhaps panders to the voyeur in us it is a very good photo, hopefully the driver makes a fully recovery).
Stories that might be of interest to our readers include:
- The controversy over the proposed wind farm on Carsington Pastures continues. p.2
- A feature on Bradbourne Mill‘s conversion to houses and on the restoration of water wheels and part of the mill workings. p.6
- More sightings and a photo of a paw print of the Carsington/Ashbourne big cat. It has not been seen in our immediate area for several years that we know of; however, put up comments about any other sightings. p.7
- Drop in levels of reported crime in the Ashbourne Division, which presumably includes our area. p.9
- A whole page feature on Parwich Open Gardens (22nd June)with a photo of Pool Croft garden (though the photo of David & Christine’s garden is mentioned in the caption it seems to have fallen of the page), Wakes Week (28th June to 4th July) and the Flower Festival in St. Peter’s (4th to 6th July). So a busy couple of weeks ahead. p.20
- The successful Planning Appeal to keep the roadside windows of Church Cottage garden room, along with a splendid photo of Lynette. p.30
- A Public Notice from the Secretary of State for Transport for ‘the stopping up of a length of highway 35 metres in length on the B5056 at Bradbourne Mill‘. Copies of the draft order and plan may be viewed at Ashbourne Library for 28 days beginning on 18th June 2008. If anyone understands what ‘stopping up’ is, please let us know. p.47
- Summary of season statistics for Ashbourne Town Darts, including mention of our local teams. p.53
- Summer Football, including the results of Biggin’s two recent matches. p.54
As always let us know if we have missed anything.
Market on Wakes Saturday
Posted in Classified adverts, Events, Wakes on Sunday June 15, 2008| 9 Comments »
Although there are a number of stalls planned for the market on the Green on Wakes Saturday (from 11am onwards, Saturday 28th June 2008), there is still room for more. Individuals or local groups interested in running a stall should contact the Carnival and Recreation Committee (phone Barbara L on tel 279).
It is a great opportunity for local groups to promote themselves and to undertake fund raising activities, or for crafts folk to sell their wares, or for whatever you can think of (as long as it is legal and not indecent).
