All Rights Reserved. Copyright Community Voice Publications Ltd. Designed and Produced by noel@sergeantdesign.com It’s that time of year again! Christmas is nearly upon us and the hectic countdown to the Big Day begins.... Our local primary schools and nurseries are staging their Christmas events such as Nativity Plays and Carol Concerts so parents can enjoy that very emotional special moment of seeing their children performing to the best of their abilities. It’s a time like now that I tend to see my wife starting to panic with her ‘Christmas List’ which if truth be known I am not a fan of! When I was a child this ‘list’ did not exist. I was grateful of each and every Christmas present I received on the Big Day. But there was one gift I had always dreamt of having and on one Christmas Morning there it was waiting for me next to the tree – a drum set! It must have cost mum and dad a fortune and I was beside myself with joy. A drum set was now mine and I couldn’t wait to give it a test drive so to speak – it had two small drums either side of a large round one which resembled the ones the pop bands used... My dad put it all together in the hallway, pushed a chair behind the drum and it was ready to go. However, my younger brother Mark and myself decided to have a quick game of football in the hallway prior to my first go on the drums. We played football with a soft ball virtually every night of the week after school and it was great fun – until this occasion! I fired in a perfectly timed volley towards the top corner of the goal in which Mark was protecting, only to see him dive full length towards the ball, miss it and go head first through the drum! There were tears of course as my brother ran away from me – I bet there were also tears from mum and dad who had shelved out the money for my special Christmas present. But it was funny in the end as we both watched my dad try to cellotape the drum together – without any success!! I sincerely hope all our local children enjoy Christmas like we did all those years ago. We are so lucky to have so many wonderful, happy memories of childhood and myself and my wife tried our utmost to provide the same atmosphere for our children and grandchildren. As I always say in the last Voice before Christmas, please spare a thought for those folk who cannot afford to enjoy Christmas in this time of deep austerity. Take a step back, and think about what you can do for others. Perhaps nip round to the elderly neighbours, especially the ones who live on their own, and take a bottle of whisky, a box of biscuits, a box of chocolates or something special. I guarantee the smiling faces of the recipients will make your Christmas! And, of course, for many of us who have lost loved ones, Christmas will be a most poignant occasion – a time to reflect our warmest thoughts and memories of those who have left us... To everyone, everywhere, I wish you all A Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Mary’s Meals sets up and runs school feeding programmes in communities where hunger and poverty prevent children from gaining an education. The global charity currently provides a meal every school day for more than one million children across 12 countries. Painsley pledged to raise a total of £50k during their 50th anniversary year and have smashed this target to the tune of £57,637.56 – creating a new record for the most money raised and donated to Mary’s Meals in one year. The final total signifies hard work and creativity right through the school, where pupils took the initiative to plan events such as a skate-a- thon, selling egg cosies and Crème Eggs, cooking a Chinese meal for friends and family, cupcake sales, car washes, and even a scuba dive. Others chose to take on sponsored events like running or cycling, while some had less traditional ideas – including stock taking, selling cricket equipment, and donating monetary rewards for good exam results. The PE Department arranged a 50 mile sponsored run and The Maths department climbed the same number of steps as it takes to reach the summit of Mount Everest. The generosity and enthusiasm of everyone at Painsley Catholic College has resulted in a donation that will cover the cost of a daily meal for each of the 936 pupils enrolled at Kafumphe Primary School in Dowa (central Malawi) for the next five years, through the Mary’s Meals ‘Sponsor a School’ initiative. The aim of Mary’s Meals is to address the immediate needs of the hungry child by giving them something to eat, and to enable that child to receive an education, which can offer an escape from poverty. The charity’s average global cost to feed a child for a whole school year is just £12.20. Stephen Bell, Principal at Painsley Catholic College, said: “This is a fantastic achievement and I thank the staff, students, parents and the Painsley community for supporting this wonderful cause.” Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow, founder of Mary’s Meals said: “Today, around the world, 59 million children miss school because of poverty. Instead of sitting in a classroom getting an education, they are working in fields, begging on street corners, or scavenging among the garbage to survive.” For further information on Mary’s Meals, please visit www.marysmeals.org.uk or follow the charity on @marysmeals www.facebook.com/marysmeals

T he impressive JCB Lakeside club became transformed into a scene for a very special evening filled with glamour and sparkle! Local mum, Rachel Jones along with her friend Julia Taylor organised the Glitter Ball to raise funds for the Childrens Wards 216 and 217 at the Royal Stoke University Hospital in Stoke-On - Trent. Rachel wanted to raise money for the ward following her experiences when her daughter was taken ill over the Christmas period nearly three years ago. Over 100 guests dressed to impress, were seated and enjoyed a 3 course dinner followed by tea and coffee. There was an auction which consisted of a t shirt which was kindly donated and signed by Adam Peaty which he had worn in the World Swimming Championships in Kazan this year. There was also a Will kindly donated by Nigel Davis Solicitors and a shooting lesson kindly donated by Doveridge Clay Sports. The guests were then entertained by local band Radio Mary who soon had everyone up dancing along with a disco. The event was also sponsored by the following local businesses: JJL design and Build Ltd, AJS Structural design Ltd, Tradefast distribution and LG Woodward Ltd. The total amount raised for the charity is £2419.03 which was recently presented to the hospital who were extremely grateful. The Glitter Ball

All I want for Christmas is... By Dr Wendy Walker, Senior Research Fellow at the University of Wolverhampton, and Uttoxeter resident. As Christmas approaches, we naturally think about the giving and receiving of gifts. The origins of this ancient tradition can be traced to the biblical scripture of Three Wise Men from the East who gave the infant Jesus their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Our modern-day yuletide celebrations, complete with the custom of gift-giving became popular in Victorian times. John Pimlott in his social study of ‘The Englishman’s Christmas’ wrote that Prince Albert viewed Christmas as ‘a day for the exchange of presents, as marks of mutual affection and good-will.’ This caring image of Christmas was characterised by Charles Dickens in the popular and well-known story‘A Christmas Carol’ and many readers will be familiar with its touching spiritual message of compassion for those less fortunate or in need. In the UK, over 7,000 people are in need of an organ transplant, and are dependent on the generosity of people to donate their organs after death. Such people give ‘the gift of life’ to those in need, and some families find it comforting to know that the death of a loved one has helped to save or improve someone else’s life. Life on the transplant waiting list can be an emotional rollercoaster. This was seen in the recent ‘Gift of Life’ documentaries which movingly televised the experiences of adults and children whose lives depended on organ donation. Viewers also saw the gratitude that transplant recipients held for the donor and their families. In 2015, newborn baby Teddy Houlston became Britain’s youngest-ever organ donor, and saved an adult stranger’s life. Throughout the year, I have also read the heartfelt stories of local donor families, with utmost respect for the decision they made. I share with you the words of a mother who I met during a research interview. She paid tribute to her daughter’s gift of life. ‘And I thought, and yes, it’s Christmas ... She can’t give us the Christmas she had bought us ... but she could give someone the best Christmas they have ever had. Well more than one person, she could possibly have given three or four people the biggest Christmas wish they had ever wished for, which could be a new heart or liver or whatever ... And what really bigger Christmas gift can you give a person than the gift of life? And I thought that really outweighs all ... Everything else. I said that outweighs all the cutting up and everything like that, because she won’t feel the pain and she won’t know it’s being done to her. But that person who gets that transplant, if it works, will know what they’ve got ...And they will realise that someone has, not sacrificed, but someone’s life has had to go to let them live a better life. And I’m sure they would be grateful and I’m sure my daughter would be only too happy and pleased that she had been able to give someone that life, especially at Christmas. Because although it’s a bad time for the ones left behind, for a person who loved Christmas, I think that would ... To her that would have been the most wonderful gift she could have given anyone.’ The goodwill spirit of Christmas and gift-giving is needed every day of the year in support of organ donation and transplantation. In the words of Dickens: ‘I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year’ (Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol). I wish all readers a happy, healthy and peaceful Christmas.

D igger giant JCB turned 70 on October 23rd – and marked the occasion by giving all its 12,000 employees the day off. All factories and offices around the world were closed on the day as the company that was founded in a tiny lock-up garage in the market town of Uttoxeter marked the milestone. It was on October 23rd, 1945, when the late Joseph Cyril Bamford CBE started the company making trailers from wartime scrap and in his first year of trading turnover was £300. Today his son Lord Bamford, who was born on the day the company was founded, is Chairman. Last year sales stood at £2.51 billion. As well as the additional day’s holiday, the special milestone is also being marked with the production of a limited edition version of the iconic 3CX backhoe loader which fuelled the company’s success. A total of 70 of the special machines will be made in striking livery last seen nearly 40 years ago on the JCB 3CIII model. Lord Bamford said that JCB and its employees should be very proud of what has been achieved over the past 70 years – but the company’s focus is very much on the future. He said: “Seventy years is a long time, but the past is the past and while we are proud of it, we are really only interested in the future and the products of tomorrow. You cannot rest on your laurels in business; you have to be thinking of tomorrow, the changing world markets and the products our customers need. That is what makes me and all our people tick.” Happy Birthday JCB as firm turns 70 with holiday for 12,000 staff Top left: JCB is producing a limited edition version of its iconic 3CX backhoe loader to mark its 70th anniversary.

Thank you for your support. A n audience of over 300 people filled the floor and balcony of Thompson Hall at Abbots Bromley School for an evening of music and melodies supporting the work of the Goldies Charity across Staffordshire. Special guests at the concert in aid of the Golden Oldies charity, were of course the ‘Goldies’ who attend the ‘Sing and Smile’ sessions in Uttoxeter and Burton on Trent. They all received complimentary tickets and were conveyed to the venue by taxi! The forty strong Bath Male Choir, were introduced by their Founder Conductor Grenville Jones. The choir who reached the final of the BBC ‘Last Choir Standing’ TV show are famous for their ‘wall of sound’,and they did not disappoint. Performing a range of songs from ‘Three Times A Lady’ to ‘Senzenina’, the South African anti apartheid folk song. They were admirably supported by the ladies of Uttoxeter Heath Chorus, led by Helen Clayton, who sang classical, ‘The Lord is my Shepherd’ to classic, ‘Moon River,’ as part of their pick and mix repertoire. Both choirs received standing ovations from the packed audience and there was even time for a sing-a-long to three of the ‘Goldies’ favourite tunes, because as Grenville Jones, who founded the charity, said, “That’s what Goldies sessions are all about.” Anne Griffiths, Staffordshire Project Leader for ‘Goldies’ said, “I was thrilled that so many people came along to support the charity and I hope they enjoyed our evening of music and singing for everyone. My thanks also go to all the other individuals and local companies including, Uttoxeter Town Council and East Staffordshire Borough Council, who showed their support in so many different ways and helped make this such an enjoyable evening out, especially so for our local Goldies.” Anne concluded, “Why not come along to one of our sessions which we hold at the Methodist Church Hall in Uttoxeter. Singing is a great way to brighten up your day, have fun, and make new friends. We really are the sing and smile charity!” For more information call Anne Griffiths on 01889 562269 Email anne@golden- oldies.org.uk To find out more about the charity visit www.golden-oldies.org.uk Concert success! !

A lex proposed to me a day before my 21st Birthday before going for a surprise family meal. It was the perfect 21st Birthday present. We soon decided to set the date…the date we chose meant a lot to me, it was the 1st August 2015, the date of my late Grandad’s 80th Birthday. We spent 3 years planning our big day but before we knew it, the day was here. The night before I had a night in with my 3 bridesmaids and my two best friends Leona and Caitlin, we had a couple of drinks and relaxed watching my favourite film Bridesmaids. Alex stayed at his parents’ house in Kingsley, and had a couple of drinks in the local pub. The morning soon arrived; I was up at 5am feeling very, very nervous!! We went to my Mum and Dads house to get ready. The morning was a lot calmer than I expected. 12.30pm soon arrived and it was time to travel with my very emotional dad in an old vintage style car to marry my best friend. Carol Richardson did a lovely service, and Barry Thorley a relative of Alex’s Dad whom married Alex’s parents 30 years ago did a beautiful sermon and also did the blessing of the rings, which meant a lot to us. Everything was perfect. Me and Alex then travelled to Alton Towers meeting all our family and friends there. I can’t thank the Alton Towers staff enough for what they did, everything was perfect and exactly what we wanted. The day went so so quick, but we can say it was the best day of our lives, from start to finish it was perfect!! A day I am sure my Grandad would be proud of. We would like to thank: All of our family and friends for all their best wishes. Amy from Panache for the beautiful hair, Beth from Opulence for perfect make-up which stayed on all day, Paul from Princess Wedding Cars, Annette for the beautiful flowers, all the staff from Alton Towers who did everything to make our day perfect, Paul from Shadows Entertainment, and most importantly Denise Wheat Photography for the beautiful photos taken, your time and your support. And Alana Wheat for recording our special day, the DVD is absolutely amazing thank you!!

His trusty sleigh has been totally rebuilt and is now undergoing final testing at Santa’s headquarters in Lapland. Chief Sleigh Engineer, Rotarian Dave Brown, with credits that include the diesel world speed record-breaking 350 mph JCB Dieselmax and the wheelie- capable, 1000hp JCB GT dragster, was entrusted with this important task along with a team of other Uttoxeter Rotarians. The result is a triumph in sparkling white - complete with LCD lights and surround sound. Santa is absolutely delighted! You can see Santa in his magnificent new sleigh IN YOUR STREET from mid-December. Watch out for the notices near you announcing his visit. You will also be able to see him at the Racecourse, in the Maltings and outside Tesco. Rotary Club visits Canine Partners U ttoxeter Rotary Club visited the Midlands Centre of the charity Canine Partners. This organisation is dedicated to helping transform the lives of people with disabilities through their amazing assistance dogs. The dogs give their disabled partners greater independence and a better quality of life. Club members and their wives attended a presentation by the charity and were told how they start by choosing suitable puppies which spend just over a year living in volunteers’ homes. The dogs then progress to specific training at one of the charity’s two Centres before they are matched to a partner. Further training is then given to the dogs to enable them to perform tasks specific to the needs of their chosen partner. The presentation included inspiring personal accounts from two young women who have cerebral palsy, whose lives have been dramatically changed by their wonderful dogs. The dogs are provided free of charge, but each dog costs approximately £20,000 to train. The charity is wholly dependent on public donations. Club President Keith Bastock thanked Canine Partners for their impressive presentation and praised them for the invaluable work that they do. Uttoxeter Rotary Club News

U ttoxeter Lions’ 41st annual bonfire and fireworks display was a great success, raising at least double the amount of last year for local causes. But the event suffered unexpected and unwanted technical drama behind the scenes. There was early disappointment when the children’s display due to take place before the lighting of the fire had to be cancelled. Then there was a potential real-life emergency. Burning debris caused some of the fireworks for the finale of the display to ignite prematurely. The operators had to make rapid adjustments to the programme whilst tackling the fire on the ground. All the drama happened more than a hundred yards from spectators, who remained completely safe, and mostly unaware of the difficulties. The display was set to a James Bond theme, with music from the Bond films accompanying the pyrotechnics. The weather was mild and dry on the Saturday night, which helped attract a bumper crowd. Lions club spokesman Gary Hudson said: “There was rain when we were building the bonfire during the day and more the next morning when we were clearing up. But it was a rainless night for families to come out and enjoy themselves. “We couldn’t have built the fire so quickly or cleared the site afterwards without the digger with a telescopic handler supplied with a very helpful driver on Saturday and Sunday morning by JCB. It was a particularly generous gesture by the company at a difficult time, and it helped to make a popular community event an even greater success. “We should have at least £4,000 to spend on local causes.” Bonfire bonanza defies technical problems
Remembrance Day - Uttoxeter & Kingsley

Lank’s Lore By Steve ‘Lank’Lavin Golden Memories from one of Uttoxeter’s Favourite Characters W ell Christmas time is nearly upon us again. I can hardly believe it’s 12 months since the last one, how times seem to fly as you get older it’s frightening really. Christmas time is a special time for most people where they get the chance of meeting relatives and friends they do not see from one year to the next owing to them living far apart for most of the year. It is also a good excuse to over imbibe in food and drink and really let yourself go a bit, after all it is only once a year for many people. Young children really look forward to it, I know I did when I was a kid, waiting for Santa Claus to deliver the goodies your parents had promised you if you was a good lad (about the only time I was), jokingly! Christmas time also brings back some good and unfortunately some sad memories especially to people who have lost loved ones. I can remember my mother getting on and on at my dad when I was a teenager to tell me about the facts of life now that I was getting older. My Father sat down at the side of me and said “Son, what I am about to tell you is very important for you to know at your age and will effect you for the rest of your life.” Sitting all attentively to hear his wisdom, he said “I am afraid Santa Claus does not exist!”. Mother was not amused I can tell you! The sight of turkeys in the butcher shops and supermarkets reminds me of my younger days when I used to accompany my parents up to the Cattle Market to Bagshaws Annual Christmas Poultry Sale to purchase a bird for Christmas dinner. Cockerels and geese were the prefered birds in those days, turkeys were an expensive luxury and became popular later on when they were more accessible and affordable I believe the idea of them being used for Christmas dinner came from America originally. I can picture my mother now, after my father had bid successfully for a pair of cockerels and given them to my mother to take home while he went back to work, struggling with me and two live birds with their back legs tied together, back down to Hockley Road to place them in the back yard to fatten them up ready for the big day. Nearer Christmas my brother and I used to come home from school to a house full of feathers flying about whilst the plucking process was going on and help ourselves to some suitable ones so that we could dress up and play red indians, avoiding my mother’s right hand which was wavering about ready to give us a slap for interrupting the proceedings, great days when I was young. Christmas time also reminds me of the annual Christmas play at school which I used to love performing in. I can see why it is so popular with the children’s parents now that I have watched one myself with my own daughter and young relations and friends doing the honours. May I wish all the readers of my column and all the people who have assisted me in supplying photographs both for my column and the Good Old Days page a very happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year. I hope to be offering my services again next year and again thank you all for your support. ‘til next time. Lank Participants in the Windsor Park School, Uttoxeter, Christmas Play 1975 Photo courtesy of Kirsty Sedgwick, Uttoxeter Down on the Farm by Angela Sargent “chill December brings the sleet, blazing fires and christmas treat” Sara Coleridge W hen I sat down to write this months ‘barn’, I asked my hubby what did he intend to do specifically in December as I wanted to keep this accurate. His reply was “as little as ****** possible!”, so no help there, then! Actually we are busy this month. We are starting to market our steers through the local market and this involves smartening the chosen two and then loading them into our trailer. Before we set off we have to complete a ‘movement’ form, giving all the transportation details and times of loading and unloading, number of animals/type and eartag number. Their passports also have to accompany them. If they were going further afield we would also need special licensing to transport them- animal transport is heavily regulated. Our other cattle have come in (or will be doing soon) and this means it takes longer to carry out feeding and bedding. A good time to check their condition though. Earlier on this year we were having a few problems containing one of our stock bulls and were thinking we would have to get rid of him, however, the electric fence seems to have put paid to his excursions and, although he paces along looking for any opportunity to escape to what he thinks are pastures more lucrative(more girls), he wont go over and so he can stay . Our ewes will remain outside but as we get nearer to lambing time we will start to introduce some corn to them. Their unborn lambs will be growing fast and taking lots of energy from their mums and, coupled with cold weather, mean her energy and nutrient needs must be met or we can get problems , such as ‘twin lamb’ disease (pregnancy ketosis/toxaemia)- this is a metabolic problem and the signs to look for are ‘stargazing’ and appearing blind, amongst others. Treatment involves drenching with glucose, as long as it is spotted early enough. Scanning the ewes earlier on can identify those carrying multiple lambs and this enables the farmer to administer the appropriate amounts of feed etc. When the weather is miserable, we don’t see much wildlife, apart from Pheasants, crows and Buzzards, but, if we get snow, then we’ll see where they’ve been and what else we have around, from their tracks. We need a good hard frost or two, with some blue sky, as it will benefit our land and our animals- no-one likes dank, wet and dreary days. It’s a good time to go logging and, having started hedge- laying, there are always some offcuts to pick up and Ted likes to ‘help’ but is often in the way . He is a year old now and an excellent worker, still needs to learn how to behave with people but a proper character, just like a child, he has to be kept occupied or his natural inquisitiveness leads him straight into trouble!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas We’ve had this conversation before. When does Christmas start for you? I’ve suggested that it doesn’t really begin for a lot of us in Uttoxeter until Christmas Cracker Night. Cracker – a night of street entertainment, fairground rides, charity stalls, Santa’s grotto and late shopping – is held on the second Thursday in December, which falls on the 10th this year. Some people might feel all festive when the town centre Christmas lights go on, but I’d suggest that’s a little premature for the Christmas spirit to truly set in. I always associate the lights with the commercial side of the season, whether they’re in a market town like Uttoxeter or a big city centre. They’re an illuminated reminder to shoppers to spend, spend, spend. But weeks before the big switch-on – and almost a month and a half before Cracker, what were the news media getting worked up about? I’m ashamed to say that a large number of my fellow journalists were reporting on the launch of an advert for a chain of shops. Who are you, and what’s it got to do with Christmas? Now, I’m not sure who or what John Lewis is. There’s a footballer called Lenell John-Lewis who scored for Newport against Brackley in the first round of the FA Cup the very weekend that the ad came out, but I doubt anyone would be spending six million quid promoting him. The crazy super- spending of football clubs doesn’t extend to League Two teams, and particularly not when they’re pitched against a non-league side. No, I understand the John Lewis in question is a shop. We haven’t got one round here, which explains my ignorance. So I looked them up. They have more than forty department stores which are described by Wikipedia as ‘upmarket’, which might also explain why I don’t use them. Their biggest shop outside that London is a new one in Birmingham. Their slogan is ‘never knowingly undersold’. I confess I had heard of that, so perhaps I’m deceiving myself when I say I don’t know who they are, but I would have thought forty stores across the whole country is hardly a significant High Street presence. What I do know is that I’m not convinced their advert is a news story. But we were assured by everyone from the BBC to the Sun that it was ‘much- anticipated’ and that it ‘helps kick-start the festive season’ – that last assertion from the Daily Telegraph, no less. A rant and a threat of violence These claims prompted an old BBC mate, Richard Uridge, a TV presenter on Midlands Today and a regular on Radio Four, to indulge in an intemperate – though obviously tongue in cheek – rant on Facebook: ‘If you hear the sound of gunfire today it’ll probably be me attempting to shoot everything and everybody that has anything to do with Christmas. Since when did a bloody department store’s advertising campaign become headline news? It’s only ruddy November. Bah! Humbug!’ I had to agree (without the threat of violence of course), but it was difficult to persuade my journalism students, who all seemed to buy into the hype. I told them in no uncertain terms. It’s a shop. It’s coming up to Christmas. They’re advertising. So what? And what of the advert itself? They seem to have spent a million of your British pounds to advertise telescopes which defy the laws of physics. Either that or they’ve found a way to let your granddad live on the moon without a space suit. And that will help us look after lonely old people at Christmas. Apparently. This story – a sci-fi follow-up to the Beatles ‘Eleanor Rigby’ perhaps - takes place to the accompaniment of a tune by the arch Beatles copyists Oasis, which is itself being copied by someone chosen to sound more sickly sweet than the feuding Gallagher brothers ever could. It’s manipulative rubbish, and yes, I know that by mentioning it here I’ve fallen into the trap of giving them publicity. So if it kick-starts your Christmas, good luck to you. I shall remain unconvinced, and I’ll see you at Cracker. Season’s Greetings.

Thank you for your support. Ginny’s Community Corner by Ginny Gibson of Uttoxeter H ave you ever woken up with something on your mind and it’s really bothering you and you feel a bit lost at to how to deal with it? As Adults we can normally chat to a friend or do some research on the internet, find a support group, if needed or go to our Doctor and get some counselling and eventually work it through and within a few days or weeks, the issue has resolved itself in your mind and you get on with your life again. As adults we have learnt from experience how to look after our emotional well-being, we have strategies that enable us to work through or ask for help, but imagine if you are a child or young person and the something on your mind isn’t something you have come across before, you don’t have strategies to deal with it and all your friends don’t understand what you are saying when you try and explain it? Where does that child or young person go for guidance through the issue? In Uttoxeter, we have an answer; the young person can be referred to the charity called Youth Emotional Support Services or YESS for short. As Adults we know that things don’t just go away, we need help to discuss them and find a solution that enables us to move forward. Young people don’t know that unless they are given the tools to deal with and work through the unknown and confusing emotions by skilled and caring people, which is what YESS offer. So if you are a young person and for this article I am using the phrase, young person, to refer to anyone between 5 – 19 years old, how do you get help from YESS? There are two ways to access the service, if you go to Thomas Alleyne’s High School, Oldfields Hall Middle School, Ryecroft Middle School or Windsor Park Middle School, then you can first talk to your pastoral support who can make a referral for you, this can be done discreetly without your friends or family necessarily being informed. If you are a parent and have concerns about your young person then either one of the Doctors surgeries in town will make the referral for you via CAMHS. When I met with Julie Bird and Mel Wood in their Uttoxeter Office at 38 Carter Street, Uttoxeter, I asked them what were the main issues that a young person needs help from YESS, they explained that young people are unique but some of the issues that regularly occur are: low mood, anxiety, anger, relationships, conflict management (bullying), self-harm, stress/worry including exam stress and eating difficulties. They went on to explain that if a young person is suffering with any of these issues or other emotional upsets, they have a safe, confidential place to explore how they feel with trained counsellors to gain the tools that enable them to either live with how they are feeling or resolve the issue. Typically the young person is offered a one to one session, within their own school environment, so there is minimum disruption to their schooling. Or now that they have offices in town sessions can be offered there instead. The sessions last from 30 minutes to an hour and most issues are worked through in 6 sessions. The first session is about finding out exactly what the issues are, this is called the assessment. Unlike other services that the young person may have encountered, all sessions are led by the young person, they talk through why they have come and together with the counsellor they explore the way forward. This approach means that the young person is not being told what to do or how to feel but actively lead the sessions, which enables them to become empowered to find a solution. I was impressed that the sessions can take place at the schools and Julie explained that schools are a safe place because they already provide pastoral care within the school setting and YESS sessions are an extension of that pastoral care because the counsellors are specialist in the emotional and mental health issues that face young people. Thinking back to my school days, it would have been a stigma to be going for counselling, but then I am an ‘old’ young person and times have changed, Julie explained that because schools work very hard to ensure that children and young people know that asking for help is not a weakness but a strength, there is no longer the big stigma about seeing a counsellor to work through your emotions, although there is always more work to be done to break down this stigma. Plus the friends of the person who is having the counselling normally can see very clearly the changes that take place in the lives of the person talking to a counsellor and as a result, realise that only good comes from asking for help. Adam Peaty, Uttoxeters’ very own Gold Medal winner, is also a fan of asking for help and he said quite clearly after his win that he did it because he was supported by a team, the YESS team do the same for young people that ask for help from them, they support them to successfully work through their issues and come out with their own gold medal of sorts, which is a knowledge of how to deal with their emotions. Adam Peaty was approached by YESS to become their Patron and agreed immediately, he, like me, understands that if we look after our children’s emotional needs, then they grow up to be well rounded individuals who become productive members of society, if they are left floundering on their own, then all sorts of crisis occur and they limp through life, rather than excel. One young person who used the service said, “Having someone to talk too, really changed my life. I wouldn’t be here without the amazing support I received”. So if you are a young person or the parent of a young person who needs help, get in touch with YESS and become part of the solution to your problem. Like any charity, YESS needs your help, they are trying to set up a youth forum and Hannah Thompson, YESS’s Youth Participation Worker, is actively looking for young people who want to bring ideas to YESS on how to shape the future of mental health services for children, so if you want to get involved, then please contact them. They are proud that Adam Peaty is their Patron, but are also looking for an over 18 year old to become part of their trustee board, so that a young person’s voice helps the trustees guide the service to ensure that the ethos of involving young people in the development and leadership of YESS continues and young people have a voice at managerial level. www.yes-s.org.uk 38 Carter Street, Uttoxeter ST14 8EU Telephone 01889 567756 or 07794 473 442 Facebook: Youth Emotional Support Service - YESS Twitter: @theoneandonlyyess I left the office of YESS really quite emotional, they are a truly wonderful charity who care passionately about young people and are working hard to find solutions to ensure that our next generation are emotionally intelligent people who have the tools to deal with life and life’s’ terms.

It was family day and there was a massive crowd. There were two sets of “reindeer” and a Christmas Market. Many children were encouraged to put money in the UCS tubs. The Choral Society sang at the entrance, outside by the racetrack, in both bars, in the restaurant, beside the fish and chip shop and at the exit – so 3 indoor and 4 outdoor venues. When the races took place members retired to a box provided by the racetrack to warm up and refresh their voices.

B renda Jackson, a Volunteer with Cheadle & District Animal Welfare Society spoke to us recently. She told us; ‘We know that many people would love to offer a home to a cat or dog but often personal circumstances make it impossible. It is a big and lasting commitment to take on any animal. There are many other ways anyone can help support the dogs and cats in our care though. It doesn’t always mean offering them a new home- although of course that would be fantastic! The cost of their ongoing care as well as routine and sometimes not so routine medical care is considerable and we rely totally on donations from people to help us cover these costs. Therefore help with this is really important to us. If people could remember our lovely cats and dogs this Christmas we would really appreciate it. The donate page on our website www.cheadleanimalwelfare.org.uk provides full details of quite a number of ongoing ways that anyone can help but a few particularly at this time of year include: Using the Easyfundraising or Give as You Live websites to access favourite stores when shopping online. You just need to register once on either of these sites and then make sure you always access your favourite store’s website via first going into either of these 2 websites. Every time you make a purchase a percentage is automatically given to us (if you have chosen us as your charity of course when first registering!). It’s so simple and no cost to you. This can really help us to generate funds. Buying things for the cats and dogs from our Amazon wish list. You can currently access our wish list on Amazon by selecting ‘Wishlist’ from the Amazon menu, then selecting ‘find a wishlist’. Type in cheadleanimal welfare39@yahoo.com and our wishlist will appear. We can only thank you and confirm receipt of your item if you enter your name and also email address in the ‘Gift box’ option which is provided at the order stage. Or if you just drop us a line to say what we should expect to receive, along with your contact details. To: cheadleanimalwelfare@ hotmail.co.uk or 07531 232 542. Sponsoring one of our cats or dogs that feature in our Pals for Paws Scheme. Sponsorship is just £12 a year and would be so appreciated. We will send you a sponsorship certificate and a home made fridge magnet with your chosen cat or dog’s photo on it- nothing fancy, but a token of our appreciation. We want the sponsorship money to go towards the care of the animals and not on expensive gifts or on the issue of regular magazines. Sponsorship does make a nice, caring gift for someone especially at Christmas and for birthdays. Full details of the cats and dogs that can be sponsored, how to get a Sponsorship form and ways to pay can be found on our website at www.cheadleanimalwelfare. org.uk/sponsor-a-dog-or-cat/ or telephone 07531 232 542 or 01335 390369.

We really do appreciate all the practical and monetary support that has been given to us by so many people throughout the year and everyone a very Happy Christmas and New Year. We also wish that 2016 will be a happy year for the lovely ‘boys’ and ‘girls’ in our care and that they will find wonderful new homes very soon. They really do deserve to.’ 32 If you are responding to an advertisement in The Uttoxeter & Cheadle Voice, please let the advertiser know. Thank you for your support.

Karen’s Cake Corner by Karen Hill Maple Syrup Christmas Cake Every year I try and make a different Christmas Cake, some more successful than others with my family! They are not too keen on a dense, full on Christmas cake. This Maple Syrup cake was such a success that I have made it for a few years running. The cake will keep for up to a week, before it is iced, wrapped in greaseproof paper in an airtight container. For the cake you will need the following:- 250g dark brown soft sugar 150g unsalted butter 125g maple syrup 75g soured cream 4tsp mixed spice 4 large free range eggs 1tsp orange extract 600g dried mixed fruit 100g blanched almonds 200g glace cherries 275g plain flour ¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda 2 tbsp Bourbon For the Icing:- 225g unsalted butter 525g golden icing sugar 6 tbsp double cream 6 tsp Bourbon Decoration - Edible glitter, Christmas trees, Reindeers, etc. Firstly, preheat your oven to 160˚C fan, and grease and line a 20cm springform cake tin. Dice the butter and place in a large mixing bowl. In a small pan, bring the sugar, maple syrup, soured cream and mixed spice to the boil and pour over the butter. Stir until melted and mixed well together. Beat in the eggs and add to the mixture a little at a time, along with the orange extract. Stir in the cherries, dried fruit and blanched almonds. Next sift in the flour and bicarbonate of soda and mix well. Pour the cake mixture into your prepared tin and bake for approximately 1 hour 30 minutes until the centre is cooked and a skewer comes out clean. Leave in the tin to cool. Whilst still warm, drizzle over a little of the Bourbon. Wait for the cake to completely cool, and then pour over the remaining Bourbon. Remove the cake from the tin and wrap well in greaseproof paper, or your cake is now ready to ice! For the Icing, place the softened butter in your blender and sift in the golden icing sugar. Add the cream and Bourbon and whisk until light and fluffy. Spread over your cake, and decorate with Christmas cake decorations, edible glitter, etc. I hope you enjoy this cake as much as we have. 33Let The Uttoxeter & Cheadle Voice take your business to 13,000 local homes.

F resh from their highly successful Rutter Workshop at Denstone College, where 100 singers celebrated John Rutter’s 100th birthday, Moorland Voices have turned their musical scores to Christmas. The beautiful Pugin church in Cheadle is the perfect setting for Moorland Voices’ last concert of the year. On Sunday December 13th at 7.30 Christmas music will fill that glorious place and the proceeds will go towards the St Giles’ Lighting Fund. Last year’s saw Moorland Voices’ first Xmas concerts which were very well received as they combined traditional carols with some more unusual modern offerings. They hope to be even more entertaining this year as they go from strength to strength. Tickets will be £8.00 (£5 concessions) and includes refreshment in the interval. The church, always known as “Pugin’s Gem” provides a wonderful atmosphere for a carol concert and Moorland Voices hopes that a full audience will come and help them enjoy the spirit of Christmas. Email MoorlandVoices1@gmail.com for details or see www.facebook.com/MoorlandVoices PS Moorland Voices has places for tenors and bass singers who enjoy a varied repertoire and fun. Charity ½ price Christmas Post T here is still just time to take advantage of our annual Christmas delivery to the whole of Uttoxeter and the following villages of Abbots Bromley, Bramshall, Checkley, Denstone, Doveridge, Kingstone, Marchington (not the Woodlands), Rocester and Stramshall.

Let The Voice Be With You by Les Humphries of Rocester A s we head towards Christmas it looks pretty bleak for those thousands of people losing their jobs in industry, particularly due to the closure of the Steel Mills caused by cheap Chinese imports. However, this will be followed by a deal with China which apparently will create jobs! I would have thought that more investment in our own Steel Industry would have made more sense to keep the jobs we already had! When I was a young soldier travelling to Catterick Camp on the night train from London, as we travelled through Sheffield, all the way alongside the railway tracks we glimpsed steel workers beavering away on night shift in the foundries. We could see the ovens from the train glowing with men stripped to the waist forging steel, and we thought ‘poor buggers’ but they had work in those days, and sadly those same foundries are long gone, and the famous Sheffield steel industry lost. The House of Lords voted against Osbourne’s plan to take more money from the poor, which really upset old George as he thought the Lords were only supposed to vote against the other Party’s bills. When the Tories were elected Cameron stated quite categorically that he would NOT be cutting benefits, so once again reneging on their promises when in office. Whether we should remain in Europe continues to have mixed reviews, but Nigel Farage still talks the most sense on the matter for me personally, keeping his head when all around him are losing theirs. Don’t we have some strange rules in this Country? My sister in law Joyce who is a pensioner living on the outskirts of Cannock, recently missed the postman who had a parcel for her. She and her husband do not have a car, so she walked to the collection office, around 3/4 of a mile to pick up her parcel. When she arrived at the counter, there was her parcel facing her on the shelf, but she was not allowed to collect it as the rules stated that it had to be left 24 hours in the depot before collection! She said “But it’s there!” “Sorry” said the post office worker, “that’s the rules”. So Joyce trudged home without her parcel, and had to go back the next day in the rain. Sometimes I wonder!! Mind you they are some strange happenings in South Africa, look at Oscar Pistorious . He was released from prison to serve the rest of his sentence under house arrest, he is to live with his uncle for the rest of his sentence. If I was his uncle, I would be terrified to go to the bathroom at night!! I went to see the Marchington Amateur Dramatic Society’s production of’ ‘Letters from a boy in the trenches’ last month in their Village Hall. It was quite a poignant experience. A true story of a Marchington Lad who fought and died in the trenches, and the play was written using letters written between him an his family from the Western Front of the ‘Great War’ eventually resulting in his death in 1918. It proved too much for my wife Sandra, and some superb acting by Amanda Leonard as the boys mother even brought tears to the eyes of yours truly. A memorable performance by all. When this goes to press the Denstone Players will have performed their three one plays at the Village Hall in November, and will be looking forward to our Pantomime Cinderella this month, directed by Gill Brown, has a large cast of both children and older people ! and will be a lot of fun. The Churnet Valley Male Voice Choir had the pleasure of being conducted by our Musical Director Janet Downing at Lask Edge on Remembrance Sunday. Janet is a real trouper, and was determined to conduct us although still very poorly. The Choirs next performance is at the Hayward Hospital at Stoke - ‘Carols around the tree’ on Tuesday afternoon on the 8th of December, followed the next Tuesday 12th of Dec at the same venue. Both are afternoon performances, collections will be made in a bucket, and all monies collected will go to the hospital. The Choirs services are free, Janet should not be with us but probably will be ! A Happy Christmas to you all... Finally - we in Rocester bade a sad farewell to a pillar of the Village Allan Austin, who passed away in October following a painful illness. Allan and his wife Pat have had a long association, not only with the village, but also with St. Michael’s Church, both as Wardens, fund raisers, and involvement in all the Church activities . When St. Michael’s put on their Rocester reviews, Allan and I had who had worked together at JCB teamed up as a double act, and did several performances over the years, stretching from the Ugly Sisters in a Pantomime, to miming to ‘The Indian Love Call’, Laurel and Hardy’s Blue Ridge Mountains of VIrginia, or ‘’ Whispering Grass (pictured)’ as Don Estelle and Windsor Davies all of which we really enjoyed. Both Allan and Pat also had lots of other acting credits in local Am - Dram productions Everyone at Rocester seems to have known Allan, from Dove 1st School pupils to pensioners, and the huge turnout in Church for the Service to celebrate his life shows the great esteem in which he was held by the Village and beyond. The splendid Service was conducted by the Rev. Stan Vaz, with former Vicar John Hall making his own dedications along the way. Alan will be sadly missed by all of his family and friends.

Since having taken early retirement from teaching at 55 I am now in the enviable position of being able to do what I want when I want. This includes sharing my thoughts with you. Winter is not my favourite season. My daughter, now 24, once remarked when she was much younger that the only good thing about Winter is that it contains Christmas. As I write on a cold but bright and sunny Winter morning, Christmas is on my mind. It is a celebration now tinged with sadness as my father passed away on Christmas Day in 2011. Within the family, we often joke that he wasn’t a great fan of Christmas and so would not be bothered about potentially spoiling all subsequent Christmas Days for his nearest and dearest. Apart from the religious significance, my father viewed what most consider to be a magical time, as a time when people spent money that they didn’t have. He grew up in considerable poverty in South Wales and there was little money to spend let alone waste. My father was a man typical of his generation and was able to turn his hand to anything. As I was growing up my father wore many different hats. Roofer. Electrician. Plumber. Kitchen fitter. Brick layer. Plasterer. Painter (indoors and out). Decorator. Tiler (wall, floor and roof). Floor layer. Carpet fitter. Car mechanic. Gardener. Window cleaner. He and my mother provided the child care for my daughter and were willing babysitters for all their grandchildren. In later years my father became shopper, chef and finally carer. My mother developed Dementia and my father refused any professional help within their home. As I walk Dylan our cocker spaniel twice or thrice daily, I often think of my father. I play the sort of game that my contemporaries played on long car journeys, how many blue cars can you spot, how many red, and so on. However, I count the number of vans parked outside people’s homes. These range from those belonging to builders and window cleaners to supermarkets delivering the weekly groceries. It seems that my father’s skills are no longer apparent. People employ others to do the jobs that they are either unable to do themselves or simply do not have the time to do. The reason is obvious. If you leave home for work at 7.30 am (or earlier) and return at 6.00 pm (or later) you would not have the time or the inclination to tile the bathroom or lay that carpet. Weekends become precious. Children’s activities and adults’ leisure pursuits can take up most of Saturday and Sunday. This is a terrific boost to small businesses providing a specialist service. And now back to Christmas… Spare a thought for those working long hours and for those busy with small businesses. Also for those who struggle to provide a Christmas for their children. Finally, think about people like me, who have lost loved ones at this special time. May I wish you all, my new audience, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. See you in 2016!

All Rights Reserved. Copyright Community Voice Publications Ltd. Designed and Produced by noel@sergeantdesign.com It’s that time of year again! Christmas is nearly upon us and the hectic countdown to the Big Day begins.... Our local primary schools and nurseries are staging their Christmas events such as Nativity Plays and Carol Concerts so parents can enjoy that very emotional special moment of seeing their children performing to the best of their abilities. It’s a time like now that I tend to see my wife starting to panic with her ‘Christmas List’ which if truth be known I am not a fan of! When I was a child this ‘list’ did not exist. I was grateful of each and every Christmas present I received on the Big Day. But there was one gift I had always dreamt of having and on one Christmas Morning there it was waiting for me next to the tree – a drum set! It must have cost mum and dad a fortune and I was beside myself with joy. A drum set was now mine and I couldn’t wait to give it a test drive so to speak – it had two small drums either side of a large round one which resembled the ones the pop bands used... My dad put it all together in the hallway, pushed a chair behind the drum and it was ready to go. However, my younger brother Mark and myself decided to have a quick game of football in the hallway prior to my first go on the drums. We played football with a soft ball virtually every night of the week after school and it was great fun – until this occasion! I fired in a perfectly timed volley towards the top corner of the goal in which Mark was protecting, only to see him dive full length towards the ball, miss it and go head first through the drum! There were tears of course as my brother ran away from me – I bet there were also tears from mum and dad who had shelved out the money for my special Christmas present. But it was funny in the end as we both watched my dad try to cellotape the drum together – without any success!! I sincerely hope all our local children enjoy Christmas like we did all those years ago. We are so lucky to have so many wonderful, happy memories of childhood and myself and my wife tried our utmost to provide the same atmosphere for our children and grandchildren. As I always say in the last Voice before Christmas, please spare a thought for those folk who cannot afford to enjoy Christmas in this time of deep austerity. Take a step back, and think about what you can do for others. Perhaps nip round to the elderly neighbours, especially the ones who live on their own, and take a bottle of whisky, a box of biscuits, a box of chocolates or something special. I guarantee the smiling faces of the recipients will make your Christmas! And, of course, for many of us who have lost loved ones, Christmas will be a most poignant occasion – a time to reflect our warmest thoughts and memories of those who have left us... To everyone, everywhere, I wish you all A Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Mary’s Meals sets up and runs school feeding programmes in communities where hunger and poverty prevent children from gaining an education. The global charity currently provides a meal every school day for more than one million children across 12 countries. Painsley pledged to raise a total of £50k during their 50th anniversary year and have smashed this target to the tune of £57,637.56 – creating a new record for the most money raised and donated to Mary’s Meals in one year. The final total signifies hard work and creativity right through the school, where pupils took the initiative to plan events such as a skate-a- thon, selling egg cosies and Crème Eggs, cooking a Chinese meal for friends and family, cupcake sales, car washes, and even a scuba dive. Others chose to take on sponsored events like running or cycling, while some had less traditional ideas – including stock taking, selling cricket equipment, and donating monetary rewards for good exam results. The PE Department arranged a 50 mile sponsored run and The Maths department climbed the same number of steps as it takes to reach the summit of Mount Everest. The generosity and enthusiasm of everyone at Painsley Catholic College has resulted in a donation that will cover the cost of a daily meal for each of the 936 pupils enrolled at Kafumphe Primary School in Dowa (central Malawi) for the next five years, through the Mary’s Meals ‘Sponsor a School’ initiative. The aim of Mary’s Meals is to address the immediate needs of the hungry child by giving them something to eat, and to enable that child to receive an education, which can offer an escape from poverty. The charity’s average global cost to feed a child for a whole school year is just £12.20. Stephen Bell, Principal at Painsley Catholic College, said: “This is a fantastic achievement and I thank the staff, students, parents and the Painsley community for supporting this wonderful cause.” Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow, founder of Mary’s Meals said: “Today, around the world, 59 million children miss school because of poverty. Instead of sitting in a classroom getting an education, they are working in fields, begging on street corners, or scavenging among the garbage to survive.” For further information on Mary’s Meals, please visit www.marysmeals.org.uk or follow the charity on @marysmeals www.facebook.com/marysmeals

T he impressive JCB Lakeside club became transformed into a scene for a very special evening filled with glamour and sparkle! Local mum, Rachel Jones along with her friend Julia Taylor organised the Glitter Ball to raise funds for the Childrens Wards 216 and 217 at the Royal Stoke University Hospital in Stoke-On - Trent. Rachel wanted to raise money for the ward following her experiences when her daughter was taken ill over the Christmas period nearly three years ago. Over 100 guests dressed to impress, were seated and enjoyed a 3 course dinner followed by tea and coffee. There was an auction which consisted of a t shirt which was kindly donated and signed by Adam Peaty which he had worn in the World Swimming Championships in Kazan this year. There was also a Will kindly donated by Nigel Davis Solicitors and a shooting lesson kindly donated by Doveridge Clay Sports. The guests were then entertained by local band Radio Mary who soon had everyone up dancing along with a disco. The event was also sponsored by the following local businesses: JJL design and Build Ltd, AJS Structural design Ltd, Tradefast distribution and LG Woodward Ltd. The total amount raised for the charity is £2419.03 which was recently presented to the hospital who were extremely grateful. The Glitter Ball

  • 10. All I want for Christmas is... By Dr Wendy Walker, Senior Research Fellow at the University of Wolverhampton, and Uttoxeter resident. As Christmas approaches, we naturally think about the giving and receiving of gifts. The origins of this ancient tradition can be traced to the biblical scripture of Three Wise Men from the East who gave the infant Jesus their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Our modern-day yuletide celebrations, complete with the custom of gift-giving became popular in Victorian times. John Pimlott in his social study of ‘The Englishman’s Christmas’ wrote that Prince Albert viewed Christmas as ‘a day for the exchange of presents, as marks of mutual affection and good-will.’ This caring image of Christmas was characterised by Charles Dickens in the popular and well-known story‘A Christmas Carol’ and many readers will be familiar with its touching spiritual message of compassion for those less fortunate or in need. In the UK, over 7,000 people are in need of an organ transplant, and are dependent on the generosity of people to donate their organs after death. Such people give ‘the gift of life’ to those in need, and some families find it comforting to know that the death of a loved one has helped to save or improve someone else’s life. Life on the transplant waiting list can be an emotional rollercoaster. This was seen in the recent ‘Gift of Life’ documentaries which movingly televised the experiences of adults and children whose lives depended on organ donation. Viewers also saw the gratitude that transplant recipients held for the donor and their families. In 2015, newborn baby Teddy Houlston became Britain’s youngest-ever organ donor, and saved an adult stranger’s life. Throughout the year, I have also read the heartfelt stories of local donor families, with utmost respect for the decision they made. I share with you the words of a mother who I met during a research interview. She paid tribute to her daughter’s gift of life. ‘And I thought, and yes, it’s Christmas ... She can’t give us the Christmas she had bought us ... but she could give someone the best Christmas they have ever had. Well more than one person, she could possibly have given three or four people the biggest Christmas wish they had ever wished for, which could be a new heart or liver or whatever ... And what really bigger Christmas gift can you give a person than the gift of life? And I thought that really outweighs all ... Everything else. I said that outweighs all the cutting up and everything like that, because she won’t feel the pain and she won’t know it’s being done to her. But that person who gets that transplant, if it works, will know what they’ve got ...And they will realise that someone has, not sacrificed, but someone’s life has had to go to let them live a better life. And I’m sure they would be grateful and I’m sure my daughter would be only too happy and pleased that she had been able to give someone that life, especially at Christmas. Because although it’s a bad time for the ones left behind, for a person who loved Christmas, I think that would ... To her that would have been the most wonderful gift she could have given anyone.’ The goodwill spirit of Christmas and gift-giving is needed every day of the year in support of organ donation and transplantation. In the words of Dickens: ‘I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year’ (Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol). I wish all readers a happy, healthy and peaceful Christmas.

D igger giant JCB turned 70 on October 23rd – and marked the occasion by giving all its 12,000 employees the day off. All factories and offices around the world were closed on the day as the company that was founded in a tiny lock-up garage in the market town of Uttoxeter marked the milestone. It was on October 23rd, 1945, when the late Joseph Cyril Bamford CBE started the company making trailers from wartime scrap and in his first year of trading turnover was £300. Today his son Lord Bamford, who was born on the day the company was founded, is Chairman. Last year sales stood at £2.51 billion. As well as the additional day’s holiday, the special milestone is also being marked with the production of a limited edition version of the iconic 3CX backhoe loader which fuelled the company’s success. A total of 70 of the special machines will be made in striking livery last seen nearly 40 years ago on the JCB 3CIII model. Lord Bamford said that JCB and its employees should be very proud of what has been achieved over the past 70 years – but the company’s focus is very much on the future. He said: “Seventy years is a long time, but the past is the past and while we are proud of it, we are really only interested in the future and the products of tomorrow. You cannot rest on your laurels in business; you have to be thinking of tomorrow, the changing world markets and the products our customers need. That is what makes me and all our people tick.” Happy Birthday JCB as firm turns 70 with holiday for 12,000 staff Top left: JCB is producing a limited edition version of its iconic 3CX backhoe loader to mark its 70th anniversary.

A n audience of over 300 people filled the floor and balcony of Thompson Hall at Abbots Bromley School for an evening of music and melodies supporting the work of the Goldies Charity across Staffordshire. Special guests at the concert in aid of the Golden Oldies charity, were of course the ‘Goldies’ who attend the ‘Sing and Smile’ sessions in Uttoxeter and Burton on Trent. They all received complimentary tickets and were conveyed to the venue by taxi! The forty strong Bath Male Choir, were introduced by their Founder Conductor Grenville Jones. The choir who reached the final of the BBC ‘Last Choir Standing’ TV show are famous for their ‘wall of sound’,and they did not disappoint. Performing a range of songs from ‘Three Times A Lady’ to ‘Senzenina’, the South African anti apartheid folk song. They were admirably supported by the ladies of Uttoxeter Heath Chorus, led by Helen Clayton, who sang classical, ‘The Lord is my Shepherd’ to classic, ‘Moon River,’ as part of their pick and mix repertoire. Both choirs received standing ovations from the packed audience and there was even time for a sing-a-long to three of the ‘Goldies’ favourite tunes, because as Grenville Jones, who founded the charity, said, “That’s what Goldies sessions are all about.” Anne Griffiths, Staffordshire Project Leader for ‘Goldies’ said, “I was thrilled that so many people came along to support the charity and I hope they enjoyed our evening of music and singing for everyone. My thanks also go to all the other individuals and local companies including, Uttoxeter Town Council and East Staffordshire Borough Council, who showed their support in so many different ways and helped make this such an enjoyable evening out, especially so for our local Goldies.” Anne concluded, “Why not come along to one of our sessions which we hold at the Methodist Church Hall in Uttoxeter. Singing is a great way to brighten up your day, have fun, and make new friends. We really are the sing and smile charity!” For more information call Anne Griffiths on 01889 562269 Email anne@golden- oldies.org.uk To find out more about the charity visit www.golden-oldies.org.uk Concert success! !

A lex proposed to me a day before my 21st Birthday before going for a surprise family meal. It was the perfect 21st Birthday present. We soon decided to set the date…the date we chose meant a lot to me, it was the 1st August 2015, the date of my late Grandad’s 80th Birthday. We spent 3 years planning our big day but before we knew it, the day was here. The night before I had a night in with my 3 bridesmaids and my two best friends Leona and Caitlin, we had a couple of drinks and relaxed watching my favourite film Bridesmaids. Alex stayed at his parents’ house in Kingsley, and had a couple of drinks in the local pub. The morning soon arrived; I was up at 5am feeling very, very nervous!! We went to my Mum and Dads house to get ready. The morning was a lot calmer than I expected. 12.30pm soon arrived and it was time to travel with my very emotional dad in an old vintage style car to marry my best friend. Carol Richardson did a lovely service, and Barry Thorley a relative of Alex’s Dad whom married Alex’s parents 30 years ago did a beautiful sermon and also did the blessing of the rings, which meant a lot to us. Everything was perfect. Me and Alex then travelled to Alton Towers meeting all our family and friends there. I can’t thank the Alton Towers staff enough for what they did, everything was perfect and exactly what we wanted. The day went so so quick, but we can say it was the best day of our lives, from start to finish it was perfect!! A day I am sure my Grandad would be proud of. We would like to thank: All of our family and friends for all their best wishes. Amy from Panache for the beautiful hair, Beth from Opulence for perfect make-up which stayed on all day, Paul from Princess Wedding Cars, Annette for the beautiful flowers, all the staff from Alton Towers who did everything to make our day perfect, Paul from Shadows Entertainment, and most importantly Denise Wheat Photography for the beautiful photos taken, your time and your support. And Alana Wheat for recording our special day, the DVD is absolutely amazing thank you!!

Chief Sleigh Engineer, Rotarian Dave Brown, with credits that include the diesel world speed record-breaking 350 mph JCB Dieselmax and the wheelie- capable, 1000hp JCB GT dragster, was entrusted with this important task along with a team of other Uttoxeter Rotarians. The result is a triumph in sparkling white - complete with LCD lights and surround sound. Santa is absolutely delighted! You can see Santa in his magnificent new sleigh IN YOUR STREET from mid-December. Watch out for the notices near you announcing his visit. You will also be able to see him at the Racecourse, in the Maltings and outside Tesco. Rotary Club visits Canine Partners U ttoxeter Rotary Club visited the Midlands Centre of the charity Canine Partners. This organisation is dedicated to helping transform the lives of people with disabilities through their amazing assistance dogs. The dogs give their disabled partners greater independence and a better quality of life. Club members and their wives attended a presentation by the charity and were told how they start by choosing suitable puppies which spend just over a year living in volunteers’ homes. The dogs then progress to specific training at one of the charity’s two Centres before they are matched to a partner. Further training is then given to the dogs to enable them to perform tasks specific to the needs of their chosen partner. The presentation included inspiring personal accounts from two young women who have cerebral palsy, whose lives have been dramatically changed by their wonderful dogs. The dogs are provided free of charge, but each dog costs approximately £20,000 to train. The charity is wholly dependent on public donations. Club President Keith Bastock thanked Canine Partners for their impressive presentation and praised them for the invaluable work that they do. Uttoxeter Rotary Club News

  • 26. U ttoxeter Lions’ 41st annual bonfire and fireworks display was a great success, raising at least double the amount of last year for local causes. But the event suffered unexpected and unwanted technical drama behind the scenes. There was early disappointment when the children’s display due to take place before the lighting of the fire had to be cancelled. Then there was a potential real-life emergency. Burning debris caused some of the fireworks for the finale of the display to ignite prematurely. The operators had to make rapid adjustments to the programme whilst tackling the fire on the ground. All the drama happened more than a hundred yards from spectators, who remained completely safe, and mostly unaware of the difficulties. The display was set to a James Bond theme, with music from the Bond films accompanying the pyrotechnics. The weather was mild and dry on the Saturday night, which helped attract a bumper crowd. Lions club spokesman Gary Hudson said: “There was rain when we were building the bonfire during the day and more the next morning when we were clearing up. But it was a rainless night for families to come out and enjoy themselves. “We couldn’t have built the fire so quickly or cleared the site afterwards without the digger with a telescopic handler supplied with a very helpful driver on Saturday and Sunday morning by JCB. It was a particularly generous gesture by the company at a difficult time, and it helped to make a popular community event an even greater success. “We should have at least £4,000 to spend on local causes.” Bonfire bonanza defies technical problems

Lank’s Lore By Steve ‘Lank’Lavin Golden Memories from one of Uttoxeter’s Favourite Characters W ell Christmas time is nearly upon us again. I can hardly believe it’s 12 months since the last one, how times seem to fly as you get older it’s frightening really. Christmas time is a special time for most people where they get the chance of meeting relatives and friends they do not see from one year to the next owing to them living far apart for most of the year. It is also a good excuse to over imbibe in food and drink and really let yourself go a bit, after all it is only once a year for many people. Young children really look forward to it, I know I did when I was a kid, waiting for Santa Claus to deliver the goodies your parents had promised you if you was a good lad (about the only time I was), jokingly! Christmas time also brings back some good and unfortunately some sad memories especially to people who have lost loved ones. I can remember my mother getting on and on at my dad when I was a teenager to tell me about the facts of life now that I was getting older. My Father sat down at the side of me and said “Son, what I am about to tell you is very important for you to know at your age and will effect you for the rest of your life.” Sitting all attentively to hear his wisdom, he said “I am afraid Santa Claus does not exist!”. Mother was not amused I can tell you! The sight of turkeys in the butcher shops and supermarkets reminds me of my younger days when I used to accompany my parents up to the Cattle Market to Bagshaws Annual Christmas Poultry Sale to purchase a bird for Christmas dinner. Cockerels and geese were the prefered birds in those days, turkeys were an expensive luxury and became popular later on when they were more accessible and affordable I believe the idea of them being used for Christmas dinner came from America originally. I can picture my mother now, after my father had bid successfully for a pair of cockerels and given them to my mother to take home while he went back to work, struggling with me and two live birds with their back legs tied together, back down to Hockley Road to place them in the back yard to fatten them up ready for the big day. Nearer Christmas my brother and I used to come home from school to a house full of feathers flying about whilst the plucking process was going on and help ourselves to some suitable ones so that we could dress up and play red indians, avoiding my mother’s right hand which was wavering about ready to give us a slap for interrupting the proceedings, great days when I was young. Christmas time also reminds me of the annual Christmas play at school which I used to love performing in. I can see why it is so popular with the children’s parents now that I have watched one myself with my own daughter and young relations and friends doing the honours. May I wish all the readers of my column and all the people who have assisted me in supplying photographs both for my column and the Good Old Days page a very happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year. I hope to be offering my services again next year and again thank you all for your support. ‘til next time. Lank Participants in the Windsor Park School, Uttoxeter, Christmas Play 1975 Photo courtesy of Kirsty Sedgwick, Uttoxeter Down on the Farm by Angela Sargent “chill December brings the sleet, blazing fires and christmas treat” Sara Coleridge W hen I sat down to write this months ‘barn’, I asked my hubby what did he intend to do specifically in December as I wanted to keep this accurate. His reply was “as little as ****** possible!”, so no help there, then! Actually we are busy this month. We are starting to market our steers through the local market and this involves smartening the chosen two and then loading them into our trailer. Before we set off we have to complete a ‘movement’ form, giving all the transportation details and times of loading and unloading, number of animals/type and eartag number. Their passports also have to accompany them. If they were going further afield we would also need special licensing to transport them- animal transport is heavily regulated. Our other cattle have come in (or will be doing soon) and this means it takes longer to carry out feeding and bedding. A good time to check their condition though. Earlier on this year we were having a few problems containing one of our stock bulls and were thinking we would have to get rid of him, however, the electric fence seems to have put paid to his excursions and, although he paces along looking for any opportunity to escape to what he thinks are pastures more lucrative(more girls), he wont go over and so he can stay . Our ewes will remain outside but as we get nearer to lambing time we will start to introduce some corn to them. Their unborn lambs will be growing fast and taking lots of energy from their mums and, coupled with cold weather, mean her energy and nutrient needs must be met or we can get problems , such as ‘twin lamb’ disease (pregnancy ketosis/toxaemia)- this is a metabolic problem and the signs to look for are ‘stargazing’ and appearing blind, amongst others. Treatment involves drenching with glucose, as long as it is spotted early enough. Scanning the ewes earlier on can identify those carrying multiple lambs and this enables the farmer to administer the appropriate amounts of feed etc. When the weather is miserable, we don’t see much wildlife, apart from Pheasants, crows and Buzzards, but, if we get snow, then we’ll see where they’ve been and what else we have around, from their tracks. We need a good hard frost or two, with some blue sky, as it will benefit our land and our animals- no-one likes dank, wet and dreary days. It’s a good time to go logging and, having started hedge- laying, there are always some offcuts to pick up and Ted likes to ‘help’ but is often in the way . He is a year old now and an excellent worker, still needs to learn how to behave with people but a proper character, just like a child, he has to be kept occupied or his natural inquisitiveness leads him straight into trouble!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas We’ve had this conversation before. When does Christmas start for you? I’ve suggested that it doesn’t really begin for a lot of us in Uttoxeter until Christmas Cracker Night. Cracker – a night of street entertainment, fairground rides, charity stalls, Santa’s grotto and late shopping – is held on the second Thursday in December, which falls on the 10th this year. Some people might feel all festive when the town centre Christmas lights go on, but I’d suggest that’s a little premature for the Christmas spirit to truly set in. I always associate the lights with the commercial side of the season, whether they’re in a market town like Uttoxeter or a big city centre. They’re an illuminated reminder to shoppers to spend, spend, spend. But weeks before the big switch-on – and almost a month and a half before Cracker, what were the news media getting worked up about? I’m ashamed to say that a large number of my fellow journalists were reporting on the launch of an advert for a chain of shops. Who are you, and what’s it got to do with Christmas? Now, I’m not sure who or what John Lewis is. There’s a footballer called Lenell John-Lewis who scored for Newport against Brackley in the first round of the FA Cup the very weekend that the ad came out, but I doubt anyone would be spending six million quid promoting him. The crazy super- spending of football clubs doesn’t extend to League Two teams, and particularly not when they’re pitched against a non-league side. No, I understand the John Lewis in question is a shop. We haven’t got one round here, which explains my ignorance. So I looked them up. They have more than forty department stores which are described by Wikipedia as ‘upmarket’, which might also explain why I don’t use them. Their biggest shop outside that London is a new one in Birmingham. Their slogan is ‘never knowingly undersold’. I confess I had heard of that, so perhaps I’m deceiving myself when I say I don’t know who they are, but I would have thought forty stores across the whole country is hardly a significant High Street presence. What I do know is that I’m not convinced their advert is a news story. But we were assured by everyone from the BBC to the Sun that it was ‘much- anticipated’ and that it ‘helps kick-start the festive season’ – that last assertion from the Daily Telegraph, no less. A rant and a threat of violence These claims prompted an old BBC mate, Richard Uridge, a TV presenter on Midlands Today and a regular on Radio Four, to indulge in an intemperate – though obviously tongue in cheek – rant on Facebook: ‘If you hear the sound of gunfire today it’ll probably be me attempting to shoot everything and everybody that has anything to do with Christmas. Since when did a bloody department store’s advertising campaign become headline news? It’s only ruddy November. Bah! Humbug!’ I had to agree (without the threat of violence of course), but it was difficult to persuade my journalism students, who all seemed to buy into the hype. I told them in no uncertain terms. It’s a shop. It’s coming up to Christmas. They’re advertising. So what? And what of the advert itself? They seem to have spent a million of your British pounds to advertise telescopes which defy the laws of physics. Either that or they’ve found a way to let your granddad live on the moon without a space suit. And that will help us look after lonely old people at Christmas. Apparently. This story – a sci-fi follow-up to the Beatles ‘Eleanor Rigby’ perhaps - takes place to the accompaniment of a tune by the arch Beatles copyists Oasis, which is itself being copied by someone chosen to sound more sickly sweet than the feuding Gallagher brothers ever could. It’s manipulative rubbish, and yes, I know that by mentioning it here I’ve fallen into the trap of giving them publicity. So if it kick-starts your Christmas, good luck to you. I shall remain unconvinced, and I’ll see you at Cracker. Season’s Greetings.

Thank you for your support. Ginny’s Community Corner by Ginny Gibson of Uttoxeter H ave you ever woken up with something on your mind and it’s really bothering you and you feel a bit lost at to how to deal with it? As Adults we can normally chat to a friend or do some research on the internet, find a support group, if needed or go to our Doctor and get some counselling and eventually work it through and within a few days or weeks, the issue has resolved itself in your mind and you get on with your life again. As adults we have learnt from experience how to look after our emotional well-being, we have strategies that enable us to work through or ask for help, but imagine if you are a child or young person and the something on your mind isn’t something you have come across before, you don’t have strategies to deal with it and all your friends don’t understand what you are saying when you try and explain it? Where does that child or young person go for guidance through the issue? In Uttoxeter, we have an answer; the young person can be referred to the charity called Youth Emotional Support Services or YESS for short. As Adults we know that things don’t just go away, we need help to discuss them and find a solution that enables us to move forward. Young people don’t know that unless they are given the tools to deal with and work through the unknown and confusing emotions by skilled and caring people, which is what YESS offer. So if you are a young person and for this article I am using the phrase, young person, to refer to anyone between 5 – 19 years old, how do you get help from YESS? There are two ways to access the service, if you go to Thomas Alleyne’s High School, Oldfields Hall Middle School, Ryecroft Middle School or Windsor Park Middle School, then you can first talk to your pastoral support who can make a referral for you, this can be done discreetly without your friends or family necessarily being informed. If you are a parent and have concerns about your young person then either one of the Doctors surgeries in town will make the referral for you via CAMHS. When I met with Julie Bird and Mel Wood in their Uttoxeter Office at 38 Carter Street, Uttoxeter, I asked them what were the main issues that a young person needs help from YESS, they explained that young people are unique but some of the issues that regularly occur are: low mood, anxiety, anger, relationships, conflict management (bullying), self-harm, stress/worry including exam stress and eating difficulties. They went on to explain that if a young person is suffering with any of these issues or other emotional upsets, they have a safe, confidential place to explore how they feel with trained counsellors to gain the tools that enable them to either live with how they are feeling or resolve the issue. Typically the young person is offered a one to one session, within their own school environment, so there is minimum disruption to their schooling. Or now that they have offices in town sessions can be offered there instead. The sessions last from 30 minutes to an hour and most issues are worked through in 6 sessions. The first session is about finding out exactly what the issues are, this is called the assessment. Unlike other services that the young person may have encountered, all sessions are led by the young person, they talk through why they have come and together with the counsellor they explore the way forward. This approach means that the young person is not being told what to do or how to feel but actively lead the sessions, which enables them to become empowered to find a solution. I was impressed that the sessions can take place at the schools and Julie explained that schools are a safe place because they already provide pastoral care within the school setting and YESS sessions are an extension of that pastoral care because the counsellors are specialist in the emotional and mental health issues that face young people. Thinking back to my school days, it would have been a stigma to be going for counselling, but then I am an ‘old’ young person and times have changed, Julie explained that because schools work very hard to ensure that children and young people know that asking for help is not a weakness but a strength, there is no longer the big stigma about seeing a counsellor to work through your emotions, although there is always more work to be done to break down this stigma. Plus the friends of the person who is having the counselling normally can see very clearly the changes that take place in the lives of the person talking to a counsellor and as a result, realise that only good comes from asking for help. Adam Peaty, Uttoxeters’ very own Gold Medal winner, is also a fan of asking for help and he said quite clearly after his win that he did it because he was supported by a team, the YESS team do the same for young people that ask for help from them, they support them to successfully work through their issues and come out with their own gold medal of sorts, which is a knowledge of how to deal with their emotions. Adam Peaty was approached by YESS to become their Patron and agreed immediately, he, like me, understands that if we look after our children’s emotional needs, then they grow up to be well rounded individuals who become productive members of society, if they are left floundering on their own, then all sorts of crisis occur and they limp through life, rather than excel. One young person who used the service said, “Having someone to talk too, really changed my life. I wouldn’t be here without the amazing support I received”. So if you are a young person or the parent of a young person who needs help, get in touch with YESS and become part of the solution to your problem. Like any charity, YESS needs your help, they are trying to set up a youth forum and Hannah Thompson, YESS’s Youth Participation Worker, is actively looking for young people who want to bring ideas to YESS on how to shape the future of mental health services for children, so if you want to get involved, then please contact them. They are proud that Adam Peaty is their Patron, but are also looking for an over 18 year old to become part of their trustee board, so that a young person’s voice helps the trustees guide the service to ensure that the ethos of involving young people in the development and leadership of YESS continues and young people have a voice at managerial level. www.yes-s.org.uk 38 Carter Street, Uttoxeter ST14 8EU Telephone 01889 567756 or 07794 473 442 Facebook: Youth Emotional Support Service - YESS Twitter: @theoneandonlyyess I left the office of YESS really quite emotional, they are a truly wonderful charity who care passionately about young people and are working hard to find solutions to ensure that our next generation are emotionally intelligent people who have the tools to deal with life and life’s’ terms.

  • 32. B renda Jackson, a Volunteer with Cheadle & District Animal Welfare Society spoke to us recently. She told us; ‘We know that many people would love to offer a home to a cat or dog but often personal circumstances make it impossible. It is a big and lasting commitment to take on any animal. There are many other ways anyone can help support the dogs and cats in our care though. It doesn’t always mean offering them a new home- although of course that would be fantastic! The cost of their ongoing care as well as routine and sometimes not so routine medical care is considerable and we rely totally on donations from people to help us cover these costs. Therefore help with this is really important to us. If people could remember our lovely cats and dogs this Christmas we would really appreciate it. The donate page on our website www.cheadleanimalwelfare.org.uk provides full details of quite a number of ongoing ways that anyone can help but a few particularly at this time of year include: Using the Easyfundraising or Give as You Live websites to access favourite stores when shopping online. You just need to register once on either of these sites and then make sure you always access your favourite store’s website via first going into either of these 2 websites. Every time you make a purchase a percentage is automatically given to us (if you have chosen us as your charity of course when first registering!). It’s so simple and no cost to you. This can really help us to generate funds. Buying things for the cats and dogs from our Amazon wish list. You can currently access our wish list on Amazon by selecting ‘Wishlist’ from the Amazon menu, then selecting ‘find a wishlist’. Type in cheadleanimal welfare39@yahoo.com and our wishlist will appear. We can only thank you and confirm receipt of your item if you enter your name and also email address in the ‘Gift box’ option which is provided at the order stage. Or if you just drop us a line to say what we should expect to receive, along with your contact details. To: cheadleanimalwelfare@ hotmail.co.uk or 07531 232 542. Sponsoring one of our cats or dogs that feature in our Pals for Paws Scheme. Sponsorship is just £12 a year and would be so appreciated. We will send you a sponsorship certificate and a home made fridge magnet with your chosen cat or dog’s photo on it- nothing fancy, but a token of our appreciation. We want the sponsorship money to go towards the care of the animals and not on expensive gifts or on the issue of regular magazines. Sponsorship does make a nice, caring gift for someone especially at Christmas and for birthdays. Full details of the cats and dogs that can be sponsored, how to get a Sponsorship form and ways to pay can be found on our website at www.cheadleanimalwelfare. org.uk/sponsor-a-dog-or-cat/ or telephone 07531 232 542 or 01335 390369. You can also donate at any time using MyDonate. Please visit mydonate.bt.com/charities/ cheadleanimalwelfaresociety and enter cheadle animal welfare as the charity to pay your donation to.

  • 33. Karen’s Cake Corner by Karen Hill Maple Syrup Christmas Cake Every year I try and make a different Christmas Cake, some more successful than others with my family! They are not too keen on a dense, full on Christmas cake. This Maple Syrup cake was such a success that I have made it for a few years running. The cake will keep for up to a week, before it is iced, wrapped in greaseproof paper in an airtight container. For the cake you will need the following:- 250g dark brown soft sugar 150g unsalted butter 125g maple syrup 75g soured cream 4tsp mixed spice 4 large free range eggs 1tsp orange extract 600g dried mixed fruit 100g blanched almonds 200g glace cherries 275g plain flour ¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda 2 tbsp Bourbon For the Icing:- 225g unsalted butter 525g golden icing sugar 6 tbsp double cream 6 tsp Bourbon Decoration - Edible glitter, Christmas trees, Reindeers, etc. Firstly, preheat your oven to 160˚C fan, and grease and line a 20cm springform cake tin. Dice the butter and place in a large mixing bowl. In a small pan, bring the sugar, maple syrup, soured cream and mixed spice to the boil and pour over the butter. Stir until melted and mixed well together. Beat in the eggs and add to the mixture a little at a time, along with the orange extract. Stir in the cherries, dried fruit and blanched almonds. Next sift in the flour and bicarbonate of soda and mix well. Pour the cake mixture into your prepared tin and bake for approximately 1 hour 30 minutes until the centre is cooked and a skewer comes out clean. Leave in the tin to cool. Whilst still warm, drizzle over a little of the Bourbon. Wait for the cake to completely cool, and then pour over the remaining Bourbon. Remove the cake from the tin and wrap well in greaseproof paper, or your cake is now ready to ice! For the Icing, place the softened butter in your blender and sift in the golden icing sugar. Add the cream and Bourbon and whisk until light and fluffy. Spread over your cake, and decorate with Christmas cake decorations, edible glitter, etc. I hope you enjoy this cake as much as we have. 33Let The Uttoxeter & Cheadle Voice take your business to 13,000 local homes.

F resh from their highly successful Rutter Workshop at Denstone College, where 100 singers celebrated John Rutter’s 100th birthday, Moorland Voices have turned their musical scores to Christmas. The beautiful Pugin church in Cheadle is the perfect setting for Moorland Voices’ last concert of the year. On Sunday December 13th at 7.30 Christmas music will fill that glorious place and the proceeds will go towards the St Giles’ Lighting Fund. Last year’s saw Moorland Voices’ first Xmas concerts which were very well received as they combined traditional carols with some more unusual modern offerings. They hope to be even more entertaining this year as they go from strength to strength. Tickets will be £8.00 (£5 concessions) and includes refreshment in the interval. The church, always known as “Pugin’s Gem” provides a wonderful atmosphere for a carol concert and Moorland Voices hopes that a full audience will come and help them enjoy the spirit of Christmas. Email MoorlandVoices1@gmail.com for details or see www.facebook.com/MoorlandVoices PS Moorland Voices has places for tenors and bass singers who enjoy a varied repertoire and fun.

Let The Voice Be With You by Les Humphries of Rocester A s we head towards Christmas it looks pretty bleak for those thousands of people losing their jobs in industry, particularly due to the closure of the Steel Mills caused by cheap Chinese imports. However, this will be followed by a deal with China which apparently will create jobs! I would have thought that more investment in our own Steel Industry would have made more sense to keep the jobs we already had! When I was a young soldier travelling to Catterick Camp on the night train from London, as we travelled through Sheffield, all the way alongside the railway tracks we glimpsed steel workers beavering away on night shift in the foundries. We could see the ovens from the train glowing with men stripped to the waist forging steel, and we thought ‘poor buggers’ but they had work in those days, and sadly those same foundries are long gone, and the famous Sheffield steel industry lost. The House of Lords voted against Osbourne’s plan to take more money from the poor, which really upset old George as he thought the Lords were only supposed to vote against the other Party’s bills. When the Tories were elected Cameron stated quite categorically that he would NOT be cutting benefits, so once again reneging on their promises when in office. Whether we should remain in Europe continues to have mixed reviews, but Nigel Farage still talks the most sense on the matter for me personally, keeping his head when all around him are losing theirs. Don’t we have some strange rules in this Country? My sister in law Joyce who is a pensioner living on the outskirts of Cannock, recently missed the postman who had a parcel for her. She and her husband do not have a car, so she walked to the collection office, around 3/4 of a mile to pick up her parcel. When she arrived at the counter, there was her parcel facing her on the shelf, but she was not allowed to collect it as the rules stated that it had to be left 24 hours in the depot before collection! She said “But it’s there!” “Sorry” said the post office worker, “that’s the rules”. So Joyce trudged home without her parcel, and had to go back the next day in the rain. Sometimes I wonder!! Mind you they are some strange happenings in South Africa, look at Oscar Pistorious . He was released from prison to serve the rest of his sentence under house arrest, he is to live with his uncle for the rest of his sentence. If I was his uncle, I would be terrified to go to the bathroom at night!! I went to see the Marchington Amateur Dramatic Society’s production of’ ‘Letters from a boy in the trenches’ last month in their Village Hall. It was quite a poignant experience. A true story of a Marchington Lad who fought and died in the trenches, and the play was written using letters written between him an his family from the Western Front of the ‘Great War’ eventually resulting in his death in 1918. It proved too much for my wife Sandra, and some superb acting by Amanda Leonard as the boys mother even brought tears to the eyes of yours truly. A memorable performance by all. When this goes to press the Denstone Players will have performed their three one plays at the Village Hall in November, and will be looking forward to our Pantomime Cinderella this month, directed by Gill Brown, has a large cast of both children and older people ! and will be a lot of fun. The Churnet Valley Male Voice Choir had the pleasure of being conducted by our Musical Director Janet Downing at Lask Edge on Remembrance Sunday. Janet is a real trouper, and was determined to conduct us although still very poorly. The Choirs next performance is at the Hayward Hospital at Stoke - ‘Carols around the tree’ on Tuesday afternoon on the 8th of December, followed the next Tuesday 12th of Dec at the same venue. Both are afternoon performances, collections will be made in a bucket, and all monies collected will go to the hospital. The Choirs services are free, Janet should not be with us but probably will be ! A Happy Christmas to you all... Finally - we in Rocester bade a sad farewell to a pillar of the Village Allan Austin, who passed away in October following a painful illness. Allan and his wife Pat have had a long association, not only with the village, but also with St. Michael’s Church, both as Wardens, fund raisers, and involvement in all the Church activities . When St. Michael’s put on their Rocester reviews, Allan and I had who had worked together at JCB teamed up as a double act, and did several performances over the years, stretching from the Ugly Sisters in a Pantomime, to miming to ‘The Indian Love Call’, Laurel and Hardy’s Blue Ridge Mountains of VIrginia, or ‘’ Whispering Grass (pictured)’ as Don Estelle and Windsor Davies all of which we really enjoyed. Both Allan and Pat also had lots of other acting credits in local Am - Dram productions Everyone at Rocester seems to have known Allan, from Dove 1st School pupils to pensioners, and the huge turnout in Church for the Service to celebrate his life shows the great esteem in which he was held by the Village and beyond. The splendid Service was conducted by the Rev. Stan Vaz, with former Vicar John Hall making his own dedications along the way. Alan will be sadly missed by all of his family and friends. Rocester Church Services 20th December - Carol Service at 4pm 24th December - Crib Service 5.30pm 24th December - Christmas Communion 11.30pm 25th December - Family Communion service - 10am My Monthly Musings by Cecily Cowans of Cheadle U p until August 2014, and for thirty three years prior to this, I taught French and Spanish. Since having taken early retirement from teaching at 55 I am now in the enviable position of being able to do what I want when I want. This includes sharing my thoughts with you. Winter is not my favourite season. My daughter, now 24, once remarked when she was much younger that the only good thing about Winter is that it contains Christmas. As I write on a cold but bright and sunny Winter morning, Christmas is on my mind. It is a celebration now tinged with sadness as my father passed away on Christmas Day in 2011. Within the family, we often joke that he wasn’t a great fan of Christmas and so would not be bothered about potentially spoiling all subsequent Christmas Days for his nearest and dearest. Apart from the religious significance, my father viewed what most consider to be a magical time, as a time when people spent money that they didn’t have. He grew up in considerable poverty in South Wales and there was little money to spend let alone waste. My father was a man typical of his generation and was able to turn his hand to anything. As I was growing up my father wore many different hats. Roofer. Electrician. Plumber. Kitchen fitter. Brick layer. Plasterer. Painter (indoors and out). Decorator. Tiler (wall, floor and roof). Floor layer. Carpet fitter. Car mechanic. Gardener. Window cleaner. He and my mother provided the child care for my daughter and were willing babysitters for all their grandchildren. In later years my father became shopper, chef and finally carer. My mother developed Dementia and my father refused any professional help within their home. As I walk Dylan our cocker spaniel twice or thrice daily, I often think of my father. I play the sort of game that my contemporaries played on long car journeys, how many blue cars can you spot, how many red, and so on. However, I count the number of vans parked outside people’s homes. These range from those belonging to builders and window cleaners to supermarkets delivering the weekly groceries. It seems that my father’s skills are no longer apparent. People employ others to do the jobs that they are either unable to do themselves or simply do not have the time to do. The reason is obvious. If you leave home for work at 7.30 am (or earlier) and return at 6.00 pm (or later) you would not have the time or the inclination to tile the bathroom or lay that carpet. Weekends become precious. Children’s activities and adults’ leisure pursuits can take up most of Saturday and Sunday. This is a terrific boost to small businesses providing a specialist service. And now back to Christmas… Spare a thought for those working long hours and for those busy with small businesses. Also for those who struggle to provide a Christmas for their children. Finally, think about people like me, who have lost loved ones at this special time. May I wish you all, my new audience, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. See you in 2016!
