NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN Your planning team has spent the last month collecting and recording LOTS of feedback and information from businesses and village organisations. To everyone who has contributed –THANK YOU. The team is now at the analysis and sorting out phase, to narrow down the wish list in preparation for the writ-ing of policies which will be included in the final plan. If you have input which you feel is crucial to the team’s work and have not yet submitted it, please contact the Bradwell News by mail or phone. As has been said many times, it is impor-tant that the plan truly reflects the wishes of our village. NEXT STEP is a public meeting, to be held in the Memorial Hall at 7:30pm on 8th July. That meeting is to enable the team to present a summary of the plan elements and to give you a chance to ask questions and make additional com-ments. Please plan to be there—IT IS IMPORTANT! The reports will be written and the plan assembled in the Au-tumn and it will then be submitted to Peak Park for their re-view and to be checked for alignment with their Core Strategy. If you are still unsure what this is all about please visit the village website at www.bradda.org and use the link to the Neighbourhood Plan above the picture on the front page.

FENCING No, not the stuff that goes around the field! Many Congratula-tions are due to Ellen Robbins Wilkinson and Molly Archer who made it to the finals of the National Youth Championship for Fencing Sabre. Both girls are members of Hope Valley College’s fencing club and we are delighted to say that Ellen is now 5th in the country for under 12s

HISTORICAL SOCIETY BHS is planning on participating in two events this year in commemoration of the role of Bradwell people in World War I. In order to make our coverage as comprehensive as possible we are looking for contributions from the village. Any sort of memorabilia will be most welcome. If you have, for example, any photographs that were taken during the war, letters or post cards written either to or from the front or stories told by grandparents all will be gratefully received. We are particu-larly interested to hear about Sapper Marian Clough of The Hills who went to France as a telegraph operator in 1917. Hers is the only female name in the Roll of Honour for WWI in the Book of Remembrance in St Barnabas. If you have any of these items please contact Brian Gillham on 014233 623345 or at brian.gillham1812@gmail.com.

PC NOTES Planning Application for the Newburgh site: Following the withdrawal of the Newburgh planning application we await developments as the Newburgh board consider what to do next. We do know they are considering their whole presence in Bradwell. Once any definite news is available it will be communicated via this column. Neighbourhood Plan: The next public meeting is now planned for Tuesday 8th July in the Memorial Hall and all resi-dents are encouraged to attend. Please see the article on the front page. Youth Club: The Youth Club is now closed for the summer. Following loss of availability of the Youth Club premises all the furniture and equipment is now being either disposed of or stored, hopefully pending the availability of somewhere to go. The pool tables have already been sold. The parish council is very keen that the Youth Club can continue and is urgently seeking alternative premises in close proximity to the centre of the village. If anyone knows of suitable premises, please con-tact the Parish Clerk. Carnival 2014: Planning continues apace and the various acts and events have already been booked. This year, as well as the regular favourites (e.g. Queens, Castleton Silver Band, Billerettes, Climbing Wall), new attractions have been ar-ranged (e.g. Body Zorbs, Assault Course, Wild West Activity Centre and a real Glider). This year the benefits of the street collection will be shared by three village organisations, and the management of car parking will be for the benefit of the Bowls Club. Due to persistent problems of the bunting being dragged down by passing vehicles and the use of street-lighting standards being denied by County Council, there will only be restricted bunting this year. Residents are encouraged to decorate the front of their properties, especially if they live on the procession route. Library Services: The proposal by DCC to reduce even fur-ther the Library Services provided to villages was discussed by Council. This proposal, currently under consultation, is to reduce the visit of the library van to one half day per month. Council has written to DCC Cllr Twigg in support of residents who feel strongly about these proposed cuts. Bus Stops: The request for a new Bus Stop in the village was investigated by council during this month and this will now be discussed at the next council meeting. Contacts:- PC Chair (Paul Downing – 623941) Parish Clerk (Steve Lawless – 620329)

& Level 2, which we will offer to volunteers in our community who would like to get involved in running the club. Bradwell Sports Club is run solely by volunteers who all lead busy lives. If you have a couple of hours a week to spare and would like to get involved we would welcome help with cleaning the pavilion, (especially during the football season) emptying bins, litter picking, weed control and strimming around the car park. There is no commitment to any of these jobs so feel free to just go and do or contact us via e-mail bradwellsports@yahoo.co.uk or telephone Debbie 07805473202, Claire 07967991265 or Hilary on 07813734366

THANK YOU Many Thanks to everyone who contributed to making the St. Barnabas Summer Party so successful. It could not have happened without you! It was a good day and a friendly and joyous occasion. The Party raised £1147.60 for the Church general fund, which shows once again the generosity of Bradwell people. You are all stars! Doreen C-M

BRADWELL’S BELGIAN REFUGEES The continuation of this story is being held over to the Au-gust edition for reasons of lack of space.

A NEW LOOK FOR THE SAMUEL FOX They’ve been giving the Samuel Fox a bit of a makeover. Gone are the conservatory furniture, floral carpet and acres of stained wood panelling. In comes contemporary furniture, with chairs in a rich mix of fabrics, new carpet and newly painted panelling. With new lighting and wall decorations James feels there is an entirely new look and feel to the place. Why not pop in and see what you think? There’s a couple of Bradfield real ales on tap, several wines by the glass and, of course their award winning dishes.

CHILDREN’S SOCIETY BOX COLLECTION We will be collecting the Children’s Society Boxes at St Barnabas on Thursday, July 17 from 10.30 to 12.30pm. If you have a Children’s Society Box, please bring it along then. We’ll also have tea and coffee available, so come along and have a drink and a chat too. If anyone is inter-ested in having a box or would like to know more, please contact Lynn on 620329.

INFANT SCHOOL Children at Bradwell Infant School have been studying nature. They began looking after caterpillars of the na-tive butterfly “painted lady” in the classroom during May. When the caterpillars matured into butterflies last week, it coincided with a visit to Bradwell Community Orchard. As part of their

visit, the children released all ten butterflies into the thriving wildlife habitat amongst the fruit trees and natural grassland. The butterflies looked at home immediately and the children searched the area for other native species, finding a varied selection of insects, spiders, slugs and snails. It was also fun to discover more about the orchard and the fruit trees from Ellie Dunn. She pointed out the immature fruits already devel-oping on the apple trees and the rhubarb and gooseberries which are flourishing in the warmer weather. The orchard is supported by Hope Construction Materials and is a lovely, tran-quil spot to enjoy nature and enjoy the peace.

WELL DRESSINGS PLEASE, WE NEED HELP on Sunday 27th July at 9.30am FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS to help the Wells Committee put the clay in the Wells frames ready to petal in time for Gala Week. Could you give us a bit of help do you think? We really would appreciate it. Either just turn up on the Sports Field at the tin hut near the river or ring Jackie on 01433 620769. Be lovely to see you. Don't forget......don't wear your Sunday Best! A special thanks to those who helped last year - see you again on the 27th?

CARNIVAL The theme this year for the Gala is “EXPLORERS from this world and beyond” giving a wide scope for ideas for partici-pants. We will have all the usual stalls and entertainment on Beggers Plot after the procession, with prizes for the kids’ fancy dress competition. There will be a kids / adults Art and Crafts competition this year for all ages to enter. Any style of art or craft is welcome to participate and create a drawing, painting, sculpture or craftwork on the theme of the Gala. Entrants will be judged on the day. With prizes for dif-ferent age groups and adults separately.

CORRECTION In last month’s newsletter Barbara Armitt sent a thank you for flowers and messages of sympathy on the death of her Mum. This should of course have been from Barbara and Terry Ar-mitt and family, and we apologise for the mistake.

AND A THANK YOU The Junior Football Club would like to thank Stuart Fletcher of Peak Mix Concrete for the very generous donation of concrete for our new Football Store. This really helps us run a thriving and professional club for the children of Bradwell and Parish

THANK YOU A "THANK YOU" is long overdue to Rebellion Knoll W.I. for the immense amount of pleasure that their beautiful tubs extend to not only Bradwell residents, but also the many visitors who are frequently welcomed to our village. Al-though the winter tubs are still flowering profusely, thanks to our mild winter, we look forward to the summer tubs. Addi-tionally, the W.I. Town Bottom Garden is always a joy to behold. Sincere congratulations ladies and thank you all for your hard work, time and effort involved in achieving such lovely results.

RESPECTING THE CATTLE Residents using the footpath from The Hills across to Hazel-badge farm will have noticed a lot of cows with young and maybe even a bull in the field. If you plan to walk this foot-path do please make absolutely sure you have any dogs on a lead. It is also sensible to avoid walking between the cows and their calves if they anywhere close to the foot-path. The owners of Hazelbadge farm will be quite happy for you to deviate from the path to walk around the animals.
