Today (23.01.12) at approximately 3.20pm a white VW van was spotted driving past the school with a man in the passenger seat videoing the school. The incident and registration number have been reported to the police and to the houses near to school; Incident Number: 509. Can I please ask that the community reports any suspicious activity IMMEDIATELY to the police on telephone number 101 quoting the incident number. No works are planned on the school building outside of our normal working day and therefore anything out of the norm should be reported as detailed above.
Thank You
Caroline Rodgers – Headteacher

Our roving reporter went for a short walk yesterday past the Bradbury’s farm up to the Tissington Trail. It was certainly a bit of a battle as the wind whistled down from Alsop. There were compensations though. Sporadically, the sun peeked out from behind the swirling clouds, bathing the dale in glorious sunshine. Here are a few pictures giving an impression of this blowy afternoon.

Two rather lovely YouTube videos, from Peak District TV & Peak District OnLine, were sent into the Blog.
On a misty morning in the Peak District, the mysteriously named Chrome Hill and its neighbour Parkhouse, near Longnor, are brought to life. Like a weary dinosaur, Chrome Hill appears to be sleeping. The spines on its back are grit stone, tough and hard wearing, but ready for the fight. Both hills have views to die for and the scenery is simply breathtaking.
The majestic Roaches, on the western edge of the Peak District, north of Leek, rise out of the mists revealing a walker’s eye view from the top. The contorted stones are contrasted against the warmth of the sun, the heather a warm burnt amber amongst the bleak grey of the rock, a super area to walk.

As the air was clear and the sun was bright, our roving reporter headed up the hill by Town Head and made his way to Minninglow to take a few pictures.
Particular thanks to Frank R and son, who kindly allowed their photograph to be taken whilst they were moving their sheep to a different field.

Tomorrow – Friday 13th January – 7.45pm
Taken from the book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, this is the final adventure in the Harry Potter film series. In the much-anticipated epic finale, the battle between the good and evil forces of the wizarding world escalates into an all-out war. The stakes have never been higher and no one is safe. But it is Harry Potter who may be called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice as he draws closer to the climactic showdown with Lord Voldemort. It all ends here.
“Sensational, satisfying, surreal … an explosive final chapter puts the magic back into the Harry Potter franchise” The Guardian. Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Maggie Smith, Ralph Fiennes, Michael Gambon, Helen Bonham-Carter, etc, etc! This film broke all box-office records.
***NEW! Catering4Parwich will be serving Burgers (£2) and Sausage baps (£1.50), along with chips, tea, and sweets for the children. Come and have your Supper before the film showing! Or in the interval.***

The gate at the back of the Memorial Hall has been badly damaged with both hinges being sheared off.
It not now possible to properly secure the garden area thus preventing children attending Stepping Stones from using the outside space for play.
The incident has been reported to the police. The Memorial Hall Management Committee would be grateful for any information about who might be responsible for the damage.

Stepping Stones pre-school are holding a Pea and Pie supper and Family Quiz on Saturday 11 February at 7:30pm in the Memorial Hall.
Tickets are priced at Adults £5.50 and Children £2.50.
Stepping Stones is a registered charity and although we receive some finding for the children we do rely heavily on donations and fundraising. The pre-school is run by a very small committee of mums and we all work extremely hard to ensure that the pre-school keeps going to provide a very valuable learning environment for children of ages 2-5 from the village and surrounding farms. So your support is extremely valuable and very much appreciated.
Tickets from Tracy Fentem, Vicky Yeomans and Gill Harrison

Dear resident,
We have recently introduced a new e-forum (email forum) to the Community Messaging Service, which will give you the chance to contribute to the setting of priorities in your neighbourhood.
As you may be aware, each of our Safer Neighbourhood policing teams hold a meeting every three months to set priorities, offering residents the chance to select what their local police officers and other agencies target. The aim of our e-forum is to make it easier for you to have a say on priorities.
Click here to open the Derbyshire Community Messaging page, then scroll down to the bottom of that page to tell us what you would like your team to target.
Your concerns will be sent to the Tissington area Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team and they will discuss all responses at their next forum meeting which will be held on:
Thursday 19th January 2012 at 7.30pm at Tissington Village Hall.
Each team works in partnership with local agencies, which include parish, town, district and county councils, housing associations, Derbyshire Youth Service, Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service, Neighbourhood Watch among others, to help keep your area a safe, clean and pleasant place to live.
Priorities can include a wide variety of issues, including anti-social or nuisance behaviour, graffiti or vandalism, speeding, parking or anything which you feel impacts on the quality of life for you and your neighbours.
You are still more than welcome to attend the meeting if you would prefer to speak to officers in person or you can also call our non emergency telephone number, 101.
You can be reassured that we will listen to your concerns, act on them and maintain our commitment to provide a high quality policing service to everyone in the High Peak and Derbyshire Dales.
Yours faithfully,
Chief Superintendent Peter Lewis
High Peak and Derbyshire Dales (B Division)
