I just wanted to say that all the volunteers from the Cancer Research shop in Ashbourne had their annual Christmas meal at The Horns this evening and it was fantastic!
I don’t go out to eat very often, and hadn’t been to the Horns before. It is so clean and inviting inside, and we had a wonderful welcome from Callum and staff. The tables were set nicely and included crackers that were not horrible and cheap but really nice!
The food was delicious. On our table people had: pate, soup, prawns and mushrooms – all of which were delicious, especially the pate. The main courses included: pork, beef, turkey and mushroom lasagne – they were really delicious, the veggies cooked perfectly (the sprouts were the best I’ve ever had!); finally the desserts were scrummy. The portion sizes were just right. Most amazing was the price – just £14.99 which included coffee!
So hats off and Happy Christmas to The Horns – well done!

We’ve just ordered some heating oil to top up before Xmas. I thought I’d just pass on the information that:
a) there seems to be a big differential in price between suppliers (EMO – 70p/litre incl VAT, PEAK – 65p/litre) and
b) both companies said the prices were currently heading upwards rapidly.

| Key areas protected from budget cuts |
|
Extra money is to be spent by the Peak District National Park Authority supporting the local economy, communities and the environment despite budget cuts.
The authority has to make cuts of £1.8 million over four years from its £7.8 million budget. In 2012/13 the authority needs to make permanent savings of £354,000 towards the four year total. Continue Reading » |

The Peak District National Park Authority is to increase spending to protect the national park from damage by 4x4s and trail bikes. At the Authority meeting yesterday, members agreed to allocate an extra £100,000 over the next two years to: • Resolve problems faster. • Speed up production of route action plans to manage the tracks. • Create the capacity to potentially deal with more Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) to conserve the landscape’s natural beauty and wildlife. • Improve engagement with user groups and local communities. • Involve volunteers more. • Contribute to the work of partners in monitoring and reporting illegal use.

Return to the magic and wonder of C.S. Lewis’ beloved world The Chronicles of Narnia — via the fantastic Narnian ship, the Dawn Treader. Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their cousin Eustace, their royal friend King Caspian and a warrior mouse named Reepicheep, find themselves swallowed into a painting and onto the Dawn Treader. Their mission — on which rests the fate of Narnia itself — takes the courageous voyagers to mysterious islands and a river that turns to gold, to fateful confrontations with magical creatures and sinister enemies and to a reunion with their friend and protector, the “Great Lion” Aslan.

Villagers should look out for information about the Message in a Bottle scheme: on the blog, at the pub, in the Memorial Hall and via leaflets through your letter box.
This system allows people to keep vital medical information easily available for the emergency services, should they be called out to you.
Jean and Martin (529) will have a supply of these small bottles, which you can then keep in your fridge.
Your First Responders group would also like to say a big “thank you” to all those who have made generous donations to the group over the course of the last year. In many cases, these have been the result of asking for donations to PFR, instead of birthday presents. What a lovely idea! We hope that much delicious cake was still enjoyed!
