Tissington area Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team
Forum Meeting
Tuesday 12th July at 7.30pm at Bradbourne Village Hall
If you have any concerns or issues that you would like raising at this next meeting, please contact this group through their new e-forum, which is part of the Community Messaging Service. This gives each individual and village the chance to contribute to the setting of priorities in their neighbourhood.
The 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.
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, 0345 123 33 33.
To report an ongoing incident call 0345 123 33 33
Emergency calls 999

A free guided walk through wildflower-rich hay-meadows, and the chance to search for the elusive “Ratty”, is on offer on Monday July 4th in the Bletch Brook Valley, between Parwich and Tissington. Meet at 6.30pm outside The Sycamore
Peak District National Park ecologists and experts from the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust will lead the walk, looking out for rare species including the water vole, known as “Ratty” in Kenneth Grahame’s Wind in the Willows. One of the UK’s most threatened species, the water vole has disappeared from 90 per cent of sites it occupied over the last 60 years. But it does survive in pockets of the Peak District National Park – including the Bletch Brook Valley.
The two-hour walk starts from two meeting places, both at 6.30pm on July 4th: outside the Sycamore Inn in Parwich, and in front of Hand’s Well in Tissington. There is no need to book. Dogs should be on leads. If you have any questions, please call 01298 84992.

OPENING ODE
Tune: “Stuttgart”
Outside the Sycamore Inn at the start of the parade
Brethren of our friendly Order,
Honour here asserts her sway;
All within her sacred border
Must her high command obey.
Join, Oddfellowship of brothers,
In this song of truth and love;
Leave disputes and strife to others-
We in harmony must move.
Honour to her courts invites us-
Worthy subjects let us prove;
Strong the chain that here unites us,
Linked with Friendship, Truth and Love.
In our hearts enshrined and cherished,
May these feelings ever bloom;
Falling not when life has perished,
Living still beyond the tomb.

The start of the second half of the season. Where did the first half go? One win one loss again this week.
Tuesday league
28 June – Away – Matlock Golf Club.
They say a week is a long time in politics; well it is a disaster in bowls. By a fluke in the fixtures we played the Golf club two weeks running. First at home, last week and second, this week away. The scores for each side were very close in both matches. 79 to 57 to us at Parwich, 75 to 54 to the Golf Club at Matlock. Why is it that the two games are such a contrast? It’s a funny old game! We were up to third in the league but this result has dropped us down a couple of places.
Next match 5 July – Home – Lafarge (Hope).
Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
30 June – Home – Baslow B.
Again a match of contrasts. We did not do well in the three doubles games, winning only one out of the three. The points at this stage were 53 to Baslow 34 to us. What a change around in the singles games we won five out the six only missing out winning the sixth by one point. The score in these games were 89 to us and 50 to Baslow. This gave us an overall win of 123 to 103. What a comeback! We had dropped down to sixth in this league so hopefully we will not fall any further after this really good result.
Next match 7 July – Away – Wirksworth A.
No Club games this weekend, it’s the start of Wakes. Keep your fingers crossed for good weather, particularly on Wednesday evening when you can all enjoy a bowls extravaganza at Parsons Croft. All welcome from 3 to 103. See you there.

Residents of the streets involved should have recieved warning, but for more information contact Derbyshire County Council on tel 08456 058058.

Tomorrow is the bulk rubbish collection; the dustcart picks up at various points in the village. Remember if you leave rubbish to be removed, you must be in attendance when the wagon comes and load your rubbish, yourself.
Unfortunately Saturday’s collection day does coincide with the Wakes Saturday and the Oddfellow’s Parade, as was pointed out 4 months ago on the blog. Derbyshire Dales said yesterday that it was too late to cancel it, but the driver will be made aware of the situation.
Sycamore Cottages 0900 – 0920
Village Green 0925 – 0945
By old shop 0950 – 1010
Croft Avenue 1015 – 1045
Next collection date is Saturday 10th September
Ballidon
By the houses 10.30 – 10.45am
Next collection Saturday 13th August

Major Benjamin Ingham writes:
I have been deployed for just over five months now and have been keen to try to explain what a typical day might entail. A single day feels like a week back in the UK, however very soon the hours blur into days and days into weeks. Regardless, I dare not count for fear of ‘wishing my life away’. Instead, I set small goals each week such as 30,000 meters on the rowing machine or 15 laps of camp. To put time into perspective, two weeks of R&R goes by quicker than a single 24 hour block of time in Afghanistan.
Living.
I share a tiny room with three other guys from my headquarters in a utilitarian ‘hardened accommodation’, so called because they are designed to protect against rocket and mortar attack. Bunk beds are used to save space and we share two wardrobes and a desk between us.
Our beds are shrouded using old sheets; if you are night shift, it keeps the light out when trying to sleep during the day and although small, it is the only truly private place available. With space at a premium, kit is stored in any available nook and cranny: under beds, on beds, behind the door, stuck on the wall, taped to the site of wardrobes… you name it, there is a piece of kit sitting, lying, stuck or draped on under or over it.
I avoid the morning shower rush and in order to save time, shower and shave in the evening. Water is also at a premium so we ‘ship shower’: water on – water off – soap on – water on – soap off – water off. All water is pumped from the natural Kabul sub-surface water supply and is therefore not drinkable and incredibly salty. It strips the skin of any moisture in just one short wash.
Feeding.
There are two DFACs (Dining Facilities) on camp run by a large civilian contractor. The cheapest contract wins and thus we lose out on food quality. For breakfast: sausage ‘things’, semi-cooked bacon and a choice of cereal is accompanied by 1 x serving of fruit, all served from an industrial sized food counter.

Jane Harris moved to Ashbourne last week, after 36 years in the village. With her ex-husband Peter she had her three children Penny, Phillipa and Katie. She has always been a vital and active member of the community. In the early years when her children were small she always worked enthusiastically in any activities that involved her children, ran stalls for school events, helped out at Guides and Brownies and was always ready to volunteer whenever help might be needed.
Jane has battled against continuing ill-health with stoicism and cheerfulness. As a single parent her children and then grandchildren have been the hub of her life, but she still found the energy to run the bar at the British Legion, to be a school govenor and to take her role as Parish Councillor and then Chairman of the Parish Council very seriously. When there was no-one to clean the village toilets, she kept them open for two years by cleaning them voluntarily – typical of Jane’s community spiritedness. One of her great achievements has been her energetic involvement in the building of the new Memorial Hall and despite her many commitments she would still find time to deliver leaflets and newsletters to keep everyone informed.
Jane Harris will be greatly missed, although surely she will be a regular visitor to the village. Best Wishes to Jane for her new life in her new home.

FREE! BEGINNERS RUNNING GROUP
10-Week Programme Starting 6pm June 28th Leisure Centre
Then every Tuesday 6-7pm
- New to running?
- Want to get back into training after a layoff?
- Want to get past the walk-job stage?
- Why not join our 10 week beginners programme?
Running is a great way to get and keep fit in its own right or to be able to enjoy other sports. However many people are intimidated by ‘proper runners’ in all the gear or give up after aches and no-one to run with…!
Ashbourne Running Club (ARC) is an inclusive club catering for all abilities but recognise that a bridge is needed between occasional jogging and running regularly for enjoyment. We have successfully put on our walk-run beginners programme every couple of years and aim to get everyone to a level where they can enter the Ashbourne 3.5 Mile Fun Run on 11th September.
It is organised and supported by ARC and led by club member Mark Allen who is a Level 3 Registered Exercise Professional (REP).
Don’t worry if you can’t make all 10weeks, just come when you can….
Why not bring your friends and give it a try? Look forward to seeing you at the Leisure Centre on Tuesday 28th June at 6pm.
