The Exhibition will also raise money for the General Fund so do come and enjoy.

TEDDY BEARS CLUB Teddy Bears had their annual sponsored walk just before the Easter Holidays. After gearing ourselves up with waterproofs and wellies we all walked down to beggars plot playing field. We had fun on the park and then walked back up to the hall for a Easter egg hunt. A fun morning was had by us all and thank-fully the sun came out! So far we have raised £150 and our thanks go to everyone who sponsored a 'walker'. This money will go towards our summer trip to Chatsworth Farm Park and our end of term party. Teddy Bears meets every Tue & Fri at the Methodist Hall (opposite the White Hart) during term time from 9.30 – 11.30. It is a parent / carer baby and toddler group and everyone is welcome from birth.

BRADWELL OPEN GARDENS Every year this popular event allows visitors and other residents a chance to “pop round the back” and sample the delights of our village gardens. This year we are in need of more people prepared to show their gardens, and your help would be so much appreciated. All proceeds go to Bradwell churches, and this can be a fun event. As long as the garden is presentable and ‘different’ then it is probably worth sharing. If you think you might be able to help please call Margaret Morley (620577)

PARISH COUNCIL NOTES

Two new councillors – Richard Harrison (Smalldale) and Peter Higgs (Brookside) were co-opted at the June PC meet-ing. Peter has resigned the chairmanship of BAND to avoid any perceived clash of interests. This brings council member-ship up to nine and leaves just one seat available. Anyone else interested in co-option, which does not involve an elec-tion, should contact the parish clerk. Newburgh – Councillors again met with Newburgh directors to discuss progress and to continue pressure on them for a reduction in scale of the proposed development. We were told that a revised planning application is not now likely before December. Newburgh said at the meeting that they would reduce the number of houses in their plan if a developer came along with a proposal to create a business park on the site or if the number of affordable homes required could be reduced from the current 27. Lafarge – At the June community liaison meeting, works man-ager Ashley Bryan spoke of an upsurge in demand for cement and a 15 month incident free record. He reported Hope pro-duction heading for an increase of 100,000 tons this year. He referred to a report in the Financial Times which suggested that Hope works would be sold to a competitor, for £300million, if the proposed Lafarge merger with Tarmac is approved by the Monopolies Commission. He said there was no basis for the report – which he described as ‘speculative journalism’. The volume of waste at the works was reported to have been reduced by 45%. Segregation of recyclable materials (bricks and coating) in kiln refurbishments has re-sulted in 1800 tons of previous waste being recycled. The Turner transport contract is to be terminated and their work awarded to Wincanton. The decision was based on tenders for price and service. Alternative fuel usage has increased from 16% to 22% of the total and the company is now looking at the possibility of using SRF (solid recyclate fuel), which could include domestic waste. The Lafarge ‘final salary’ pen-sion scheme has been closed to all employees. Public Convenience – District have advised us that they are looking to fund improvements in some conveniences by clos-ing others. We have been asked if the PC would be inter-ested in taking over the toilets in Town Bottom Playing Field. It was decided to decline the offer, but to point out that they are mostly used by visitors to Bradwell, and the surrounding areas, and that its future should be considered in that context. Town Bottom Phone Box – BT Payphones have asked us to consider adopting this Box to ensure that it will not be taken away. It was agreed to decline the offer, but to point out to BT that it is a well-used important facility and should be retained. Bus Shelters – County have asked us if we are considering installing new bus shelters as they can offer a grant of 50% of costs. Town Bottom seems to be the most likely choice – although it would have to be sited on the ‘wrong’ side of the

EDITORIAL COMMENT The Bradwell News has received a letter and separate verbal comment from two residents related to the PC Notes article in the June Newsletter. These comments relate to party politics and raise some interesting questions, but in order to keep your newsletter free from party politics these exchanges have been posted on the village website forum at: http://www.bradda.org/Forum.htm rather than in these pages. The Forum is open to all residents to contribute their own comments and observations to the debate. It would be useful for residents to know that District Councillor Janet Goodison will be attending the next Parish Council meeting on 5th July to respond to a series of questions and requests for clarification which have been asked of her re-lated to possible changes to the waste management scheme, which she presented at the Annual Parish Meeting. Residents are welcome to attend the Parish Council meeting - in the Methodist Hall lounge at 7:30pm on 5th July - to hear the discussion and to ask their own questions.

LUNCHEON FOR ST BARNABAS Helen and Richard Plant will be hosting a luncheon on Thurs-day 7th. July 2011 in their home, Stoney Ridge, Granby Road, proceeds are for the St. Barnabas Church Fabric Fund, in aid of the essential roof repairs to the church. A two course lunch will be served from noon to 1-30pm, and choices are :-

Main Course Salmon Salad and New Potatoes: OR

Sausage and mash with carrots, peas and gravy: OR Vegetarian Lasagne

Dessert Pavlova OR Sherry trifle OR Lemon tart OR Strawberries and ice cream. All with tea or coffee. If required a glass of wine, or lager, or soft drink will be available for a minimum donation of £1:50. Admission by ticket only.

road. We are making further enquiries before deciding, and would be interested to hear your views. S137 grants – We have agreed to the request from Bradwell Bowls Club for a donation of £100 to sponsor their Charity Day on September 11th. Footpaths – Since we handed back responsibility for mainte-nance of Bradwell footpaths to County Highways, last year, they appear to have done nothing. Any complaints about the state of footpaths should be addressed to them. Our thanks go to Peter Higgs for the voluntary strimming he has done on The Yeld and elsewhere. Speeding – We have decided to enquire about the possibility of siting an automatic 30mph limit flashing sign in the village. Chris Furness

BRADWELL 100 YEARS AGO June & July 1911

Following its great success playing for the Coronation the Bradwell King George V Coronation Band met and agreed to put the Band on a permanent basis, with Isaac Hall as conduc-tor with Allen Bradwell (tenor horn) as secretary and Mr Craig as treasurer. An attempt had been made to purchase instru-ments from the Castleton Temperance Band, which was ru-moured to be in difficulties, but the Temperance men had de-cided to give it ‘another go’ (but they wished the ‘boys of the Old Brigade’ all the best). At the same time members of the Coronation Band agreed to make a door-to-door collection for their funds. It was later reported that £7 had been collected with ‘much more promised’. Any instruments purchased would belong to the village. Members of all three choirs from the two Chapels and Church had their annual outing to Blackpool where ‘an enjoyable time was spent by the seaside’. Arnold M. Hallam gained a place at New Mills Secondary School. Fred Burnand left the Bull’s Head to take up residence at Fern Bank and he was succeeded by Harry Lee of Smalldale (Harry can not have stayed long because the Bull’s Head was in the hands of Bernard Bellamy by 1914). Archie Wood of Charlotte Lane married Maria Palfreyman at St Barnabas’. Maria, who was the eldest daughter of Albert Pal-freyman grocer of Towngate, wore a white lawn dress trimmed with needlework and a white hat trimmed with roses. The bride’s maids, both of whom wore muslin with hats to match, were Maria’s sister Celia and Archie’s sister Lucy. The best man was Mr G.W. Broadbent, and the service was conducted by the Revd. G. Bird. The bride was given away by her cousin Frank Liversage although her father was listed amongst the guests. Two deaths received prominent coverage. Humphrey John Hallam of Far Hill died at the age of 80 and the funeral was at the Primitive Methodist Chapel on Hugh Lane. The second person to die was much younger. He was 18 year-old Clifford Bradwell, son of Alfred Bradwell tailor of New Church Street. Clifford had worked at A. F. Hancock of Bamford. The service was conducted by Revd. Bird at Hope.

BRADWELL PRE SCHOOL 9th June was a special day for the children of Bradwell Pre-School as it was their annual Summer Trip, which was to Gulliver’s Kingdom at Matlock Bath. This years trip would not have been possible without the generous donation made by Bradda Dads, so a big thank you to them from all the chil-dren who had a very enjoyable day throughout. We will be holding an Open Evening to be held at the Memorial Hall on 5th July from 7.30pm – 8.30pm. The evening is a great op-portunity for parents, current and new to see how the pre-school is set out day to day and how your child's session is structured. Staff, parents and current committee members will be on hand throughout the evening to answer any ques-tions you may have and a short informative talk will be held at 8pm. A glass of wine plus other beverages will be offered on arrival – We hope to see you there! Please look out for the Bradwell Pre-School Stall on carnival day and The Festi-val of Sports. Please support your local Pre-School, your donations are very much needed and appreciated.

She also started the Historical Society and was a member of the Well Dressing committee. For a period she was the local correspondent for the Derbyshire Times. Shirley enjoyed holidays, both at home and abroad with some of her many friends. Although she had many interests her main con-cern at all times was the welfare of her family.

During his time here alterations were made to the church, with construction of the balcony, kitchen and toilet. His artistic talents were used in many ways, including the fun days for children during school holidays. John retired in 1995 and went to live in Dronfield, becoming involved in the life of St John’s Church. He continued to use his artistic talents until very recently, and he and Avril enjoyed being involved in many activities. John died on 30th April.
