Launching the autumn season at the King Street-based venue, Cloudbusting are a group of five talented musicians who love to perform the music of the legendary Kate Bush.
They focus on performing the music exactly to the original to bring all those classic songs to the live stage.
You can expect to hear all the favourites including Running Up That Hill, Wuthering Heights, Babooshka and many more.
Having performed at many venues up and down the country as well as festivals across Europe, they are no strangers to the stage and are receiving huge recognition whereever they have been performing, including the only official Kate Bush fan club.
Then, on Saturday, September 3, the visitors to The Flowerpot will be Skinny Molly.
RAW Promotions are proud to present a band who are currently touring Europe to promote their latest studio album Here For A Good Time.
Featuring the former Lynyrd Skynyrd and Artimus Pyle Band guitarist Mike Estes, Skinny Molly was founded by Estes and Nashville studio drummer Kurt Pietro.
Originally put together to do a one-off tour of Europe in 2004, Skinny Molly has, 12 years later, become one of the hardest working and popular rock bands out of the southern United States.
Solidifying the current line-up in 2008, the band boasts guitarist Jay Johnson (formerly of Blackfoot/Rossington Band), and Grand Ole Opry stalwart bassist Luke Bradshaw.
This line-up has toured relentlessly, their first jaunt found them crossing three continents in 30 days on the strength of their debut CD No Good Deed.
In 2012, word of their legendary live shows reached Ruf Records president Thomas Ruf, and Skinny Molly immediately embarked on recording their first CD for the label, the critics’ favourite Haywire Riot.
Doors open for both of these gigs at 8pm.
Admission is £12 for Cloudbusting and £13 for Skinny Molly.
Advance tickets for both of these gigs at the venue are available from The Flowerpot and RAW Promotions.

Last term, they were denied the champions’ crown, and promotion back to the Notts Premier League, on a rain-hit final day. This time round, they had Farnsfield on the rack at Papplewick Hall, bowling them out for 155, before the heavens opened and the match had to be abandoned.
Victory would have given Papplewick a chance of overhauling the top dogs in the final two fixtures of the campaign that are coming up. But as it was, they took only ten points to Farnsfield’s seven from the rain-affected draw, leaving them fully 32 points behind their rivals in The Championship table and needing a miracle.
The bowlers to inflict the damage on the visitors were Simon Roberts, rolling back the years with 4-31, and the ever-reliable Jim Rhodes, who took 3-32. James Smith was the only Farnsfield batsman to offer any defiance, making 34.
The weather had a similar impact in most other matches across all divisions of the league. The only game to survive in the top flight was bottom-of-the-table Worksop’s trip to North Wheatley with Leverton, who eased their relegation fears with a quickfire win.
Wheatley skittled their visitors for just 77, with Jamie Sizer bagging 5-48, and then knocked off the runs for the loss only two wickets. Worksop are already down, and Whitwell are set to join them after a rain-affected draw at third-placed Clipstone Welfare.
The Derbyshire outfit owed a lot to batsman Andrew Shaw, who struck a terrific 112 in his side’s total of 202, especially as Clipstone duo Louis Sprigg (4-50) and Taylor Wright (3-54) bowled well. But the weather intervened before the hosts had a chance to begin their reply.
Elsewhere, struggling Edwinstowe were saved by the rain when looking set for inevitable defeat at home to Glapwell Colliery. They crashed to 96 all out against the bowling of Rasika Wijesinghe (4-13) and Danny Bircumshaw (4-43), and the visitors were cruising on 18-0 when stumps had to be drawn.
Batting was also not without its problems for both Retford and Anston. The former limped to 165 at home to Thoresby Colliery, despite 54 from Amit Kundra, as bowlers Mohammad Yasar (3-22) and Jack Willis (3-53) cut loose, while the latter made 181-8 at home to Notts and Arnold Amateurs. Both games were curtailed by the rain at or around teatime.
Not a single match was completed in Division One, leaving Blidworth Colliery Welfare 29 points clear at the top of the table with three fixtures remaining. Cuckney 2nd sit in second place, with Kiveton Park Colliery one point behind them, having played a game more.
The Second Division is still headed by Gainsborough outfit Lea And Roses, who are 30 points clear of Anston 2nd with three matches to play. Mansfield Hosiery Mills 2nd and Milton are still in the promotion race too. Division Three is topped by Waleswood Sports, who are 28 points clear, but have played a game more than a chasing trio separated by only three points.

The host of Great British Bake Off will also offer a user’s guide to Mary Berry at Sheffield’s Lyceum Theatre on September 6 and at Buxton Opera House on September 14.
Sue is looking forward to interacting with a live audience. She said: “It enriches me. What I have done lately has been TV based so I haven’t had the same feedback as I get live, and that’s what I love. The audience is a abig pool of fun you can swim around in.
“I don’t encourage hecklers, but sometimes a heckler is the funniest person in the room - why not embrace that?”
Births, deaths and lemon drizzle cake are among the subjects touched on in the show. Sue said: “I’ll talk a lot about the catastrophising that went on in my family. There was always a sense of something awful that imminent doom was around the conrer. It came from my mum - she’s a worrier, everything was a potential trip to A & E.”
Her tour LIVE! in Spectacles takes its title from her memoir. She said: “Writing a memoir begins a processs that doesn’t necessarily end with publication. You begin to think about family life and stories and relationships, and those are ongoing. My memoir is a story of family and childhood.”
Sue will be giving each ticket holder a copy of her book, Spectacles. She said: “It gives me the opportunity to meet the audience one by one afterwards during the signings.”
Commenting on why she reckons Bake Off is so popular, Sue said: “I think the chemistry between the four of us - Mary, Paul, Mel and I - works so well. But the real reason why the show is so successful is the twelve people who come to bake every year. ”
Sue reckons a sense of humour is vital. “Life is boring without the punctuation of punchlines. If you laugh at a joke, it’s because someone has put something you already know in a way you had never thought of it before.”

For too long though, the apprenticeship route has been looked at as the second class route to qualifications and preparation for a career.

We need to get over this perception and celebrate all the benefits apprenticeships offer. Apprenticeships can take you just as far if not further than studying full time at university. Learning and earning not only delivers the qualifications employers are looking for, it gives that valuable experience that can make you stand out. Teachers, parents and young people probably still have the perception that apprenticeships are associated with blue collar, practical jobs. The government’s ‘Get In Go Far’ campaign aims to challenge those myths and show the range of apprenticeships available and where they can lead. For more visit: www.getingofar.gov.uk.
I was an apprentice myself in one of those ‘get your hands dirty’ kind of jobs but learning in this way sparked a passion in me and I was the first in my family to go to university. I come across lots of other passionate young people doing some exciting and unusual apprenticeship roles with us who are destined for great things. | http://www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/news/local/column-college-principal-explains-earning-and-learning-benefits-1-8090132 | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/5785ed70bf2acee624a11d9b87b835f56e9793126f85cfd173dc51bfce8ab28f.json |

Opener Smit scored a magnificent century to help Rutland prise a 16-point winning draw out of mid-table Stainsby Hall. And his knock of 103 in a total of 190 also enabled the Ilkeston side to creep a little closer to safety.
They remain next to bottom in the table but now sit 30 points adrift of the team above them, Alfreton, whom they face in a real crunch match on Saturday September 3. Before then, they have another must-win game, at home to bottom team Sawley and Long Eaton Park this weekend.
Smit’s ton was the difference between the two sides after Rutland’s notoriously fragile batting line-up had been put in by Stainsby Hall. Modestly, he said after the game that the pitch had been at its best when the action started because the damp allowed the ball to skid on to the bat.
Rutland did indeed get off to a flier. After ten overs, they had reached 70 for the loss only of George Moulds (20), who had helped Smit put on a healthy 56 for the first wicket. Moulds became the first of eight batsmen in the innings, and 13 in the match, to be caught behind, giving wicketkeepers James Gregson and Vic Pilbeam a busy day.
Number three bat Ken Seaman (14), whose six-ball cameo featured two straight fours and one straight six, departed in the same way before Rob Green (12) dragged on attempting a cover drive. Smit, meanwhile, continued to thwart Stainsby. They dropped him in his 30s, but he cashed in as wickets fell around him, finally being the sixth to fall with the score on 179.
His 112-ball 103 contained eight boundaries and a six -- testimony to the watchful nature of the innings -- and only 11 runs were added after his dismissal as Rutland again failed to bat out their full quota of 50 overs. Indeed, after Green, no other batsman reached double figures as Stainsby bowlers Matt Smyth (5-48 in 13 overs) and Amir Iqbal (3-50 in nine overs) cashed in.
Rutland’s total was a competitive one, though, and they soon sensed victory after tea as Green (2-31 in 15 overs) and Aidan Smith (3-50 in 13 overs) reduced the visitors to 13-3, causing havoc with the new ball on the drying surface.
However, two gritty partnerships, both featuring Chris Hamp (56), took Stainsby to the safety of a losing draw. Hamp batted from the seventh to the 51st over, adding 45 with Smyth (23) and 79 with James Gregson (34) before finally falling to a catch by Smit.
Stainsby briefly flirted with going for the win but eventually finished with 163-8 at the end of their 53 overs, although a total of 28 wides meant Rutland actually bowled almost 58 overs at them.
RUTLAND 2nd had their Division Four South game at Swarkestone cancelled, while the third team lost to Washlands in Division Ten North. Their total of 116-7, featuring 33no from Adam Ball, was not enough to deny their hosts, who triumphed by five wickets in the hands of captain Jeff Wardle (50no). | http://www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/smit-century-keeps-ilkeston-rutland-s-safety-hopes-alive-1-8084329 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/f7c2c80f37cf05af2de36f2f8e4359ada4a555b7c89ccdeecc867cd46ba7fae9.json |

It was the worst of games…
The polaric opposites of another frenzied Forest display are truly something to marvel at: Bearing down on goal, there can’t be a scarier sight than Oliver Burke’s rapturous pace and youthful effervescence.
The one-man stampede that makes Superman look like Eamonn Holmes. The only thing that comes close to parity with the Burke fear factor is the man chiselled from pure steel: Britt Assombalonga.
More than just a powerhouse who could bench-press a Transit van, his foresight and reading of a game matches the God-given instincts of the very best strikers in the world – Indeed, it was this deadly perception on Saturday that lead him to pounce on an under-hit back pass and score the opener.
Then again, there can’t be a more appealing sight than the absolute chaos that is reigning in the Forest defence.
I find it completely bizarre that they have collectively lost the ability to win headers, mark their respective men and effectively stand up to an attacker. Perhaps four games in isn’t quite a time for crisis, but there is certainly a huge issue that MUST be addressed.
I’m sure many publications and columnists dedicated to Forest will be saying the exact same thing today.
It’ll be a moan about the problem, a retrospective look back at what went wrong, and a suggestion to throw money at new players. Yet, with all due respect, I think that’s a very easy way to just merely paper over some cracks
OPINION: Oliver Burke has carried Forest
I personally believe we have been hit hard by Dorus De Vries leaving. There’s now a definite lack of communication, which is a sure-fire way to drain confidence. Not only was he a sharp shot-stopper and a commanding aerial presence, but he talked.
A LOT. For 90 minutes straight, for every game he played, De Vries didn’t just tell his defenders what to do. He barked his instructions at them. His voice resonating like a foghorn from one end of the pitch to the other.
Even sat in Upper Bridgford, you could hear him from his net at the Trent End.
Losing a man of such authority and responsibility was always going to have a dramatic impact on how Forest would attempt to shut the opposition out. Unfortunately for us, that impact has been instant… and it will become a lot more unforgiving once we stop scoring four goals every home game.
However, do I think we need a radical overhaul? Do I believe these players aren’t good enough? My answer is a resounding no. In my eyes, we have a fantastic assembly of defensive players who have the ability to play at a higher level. We all know that Michael Mancienne is a high-class centre-back – possibly one of the best we’ve seen at the City Ground in the last ten years. Thomas Lam is coming off the back of playing a leading role in PEC Zwolle’s best ever seasons in the Eredivisie, aged just 22. Matt Mills is a ferocious competitor, and when he channels that aggression properly (which is more often than not), Forest are much more solid as a defensive unit.
Then there’s Hildeberto Pereira. What can you not love about this guy? Endless energy.
Those twinkle toes that danced through the Wigan defence on the way to set Lam up for Saturday’s winner. Plus, no Forest players’ hair has had so much attention since Karl Darlow spent his match days preening himself…
However, that ‘raging bull’ of Pereira is more ‘bull in a china shop’ when it comes to defending. Don’t get me wrong, I never want to see him lose that fighting spirit, because it is exactly that what is enamouring him to the Forest fans in such a short space of time, but I don’t think he should be playing right-back. He needs to be unleashed further up the pitch; the shackles need to be cast away and thrown into the Trent, never to be seen again. You simply cannot do that when you have defensive responsibilities, and this position is one better filled by Eric Lichaj, a standout player from last season’s carnival of mediocre.
I believe we will get over our defensive jitters sooner rather than later and find that confidence we need to progress, but Phillipe Montanier – a man who I must admit is charming my socks off at the moment – needs to do two things:
Bring in a new goalkeeper - I have absolutely nothing against Henderson, despite a tough start for the lad. Yet he needs another senior goalkeeper there with him, to provide serious competition and to have someone in training to learn from and work with to develop certain aspects of his game.
. Choose a defensive line up, and keep it – Defences are built upon the pillars of understanding and familiarity. Montanier needs to ditch his rotation policy for this situation, pick out the men he sees as his best options, then stick with them for an extended period. He even has the option of sticking Cohen at left-back as a temporary solution. The skippers’ calming influence could help the others settle down quicker and certainly go some way towards restoring a bit of confidence and assurance at the back.
Obviously, this is football and no solution is ever the simple one. If anything, I am beginning to feel like a real buzz-killer, trying to find a way to stop these entertaining 4-3’s and last-minute winners.
Upon reflection, six points from four games is perhaps a fair return, considering the two tough away games we’ve had and Montanier’s brave, yet well-received gamble to play an exciting clutch of academy graduates from the very start. A win against Leeds on Saturday would really be a chance to lay the foundations for us to make the City Ground ‘Fortress Forest’ once more… | http://www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/opinion-forest-are-not-defensively-incompetent-they-just-lack-leadership-1-8082159 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/ad134e520bfbaa355c3479710933cfc1a6c1a6b6029f374b4f19de9cd7ad04c4.json |

Present Company is staging hit musical The Scarlet Pimpernel at Buxton Opera House from September 1 to 3.
Set against the backdrop of the bloody French Revolution, this a tale of courage, betrayal, justice, trust, intrigue, honour and love.
The story traces the exploits of Sir Percy Blakeney (played by David Partridge) and his “Bounders” during the 1793-4 Reign of Terror that followed the execution of Louis XVI. These aristocratic Englishmen rush across the Channel and using disguises and their wits, rescue their French counterparts from the guillotine. At home these ‘daredevils’ hide their identities, and their courage, by posing as Regency fops to avoid suspicion.
Sir Percy is married to French actress, Marguerite St Just (played by Rachael Louisa Bray), but she has a shadowy past including an affair with The Pimpernel’s arch enemy. | http://www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/what-s-on/out-about/the-scarlet-pimpernel-is-heading-for-county-premiere-1-8061305 | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/82d52b5e8d04ba27c47fd85496a2da6c14eb147660af569c1ec8e893ee95f7e5.json |

The local derby never got out of first gear with clear cut chances limited to just two, both falling to Matlock early and late in the contest.
The Robins will feel far more satisfied with the point than the Gladiators.
This time last week it looked as if the game would not take place with Ilkeston under a league suspension but although the visitors passing looked ring rusty, they deserved their point for their organisation and endeavour with central defenders Luke Foster and captain Matt Baker scarcely putting a foot wrong.
It must be said though that the Robins were aided and abetted by some equally faulty distribution from the Gladiators.
All too often the ball was pumped up high, rather than adopting the slick movement and passing from the final phase of their victory over Sutton Coldfield and in the opening half at Warrington.
Perhaps conceding five goals just two days previously at Warrington played some part in Matlock being ineffective as an attacking unit.
Co managers Glenn Kirkwood and Craig Hopkins had sent out clear instructions not to concede, but it appeared to be taken a little too far with Matlock often being too deep to seriously threaten the visitors defence.
Adam Yates, captain in place of the suspended Laurie Wilson, saw his third minute close range effort booted off the line when it looked certain he would score.
For Ilkeston Dexter Atkinson looked lively breaking forward, an eighth minute run ending with a tame shot at Arron Jameson who shortly afterwards held a drive from Jake Kenworthy.
Ilkeston custodian Ross Durrant grabbed a free kick from former Robins favourite Michael Williams, one of three former Robins facing their old club, the others being home debutant Joe Doyle-Charles and Marc Newsham..
Newsham nodded wide following a bout of head tennis in the Ilkeston box to end a bitterly disappointing opening period.
Ilkeston began the second half the brighter, with a sliced cross by Atkinson striking the top of the bar before the Robins striker shot goalwards and seeing Jameson initially spill the ball.
Matlock’s reply was a left wing cross from Dwayne Wiley being headed over the bar by Newsham.
As the game reached a conclusion Matlock looked the more likely scorers, Newsham turning to have an effort blocked by Foster before a gilt edged chancer went begging as Green’s pass across the box saw Doyle-Charles unmarked 12 yards out. But it was groans all round from the home support as Doyle-Charles pulled his shot wide.
A scruffy 1-0 win would have been just the ticket from a poor game for the hosts, but in truth, the only consolation for Matlock was the clean sheet and point as hey did not do enough to earn a victory.
As for Ilkeston, it’s their first point on the board after a troubled start to the season off the field.

Premier League clubs have already broken all known spending records for this summer’s transfer window with 12 clubs setting new transfer records for single deals, benefiting from the new £5.1bn television deal.
Arsenal’s £52m double signing of Lucas Perez and Shkodran Mustafi pushed top-flight summer transfer window spending close to the £1bn mark.
It has already surpassed the previous high of £870m set last year.
Here are the rumours floating around on deadline day . . . .
Monaco defender Fabinho could be a ‘left field’ arrival at Manchester United on deadline day, according to the M.E.N.’s Stuart Mathieson. “He’s one I wouldn’t rule out at all,” Stuart said at the M.E.N.’s live football event in Manchester on Tuesday night. The 22-year-old was interesting United a year ago but a move for the right-back failed to materialise. Despite Louis van Gaal’s departure, reports have suggested Fabinho could still move to Manchester.

Some of the more tedious ties in the past have included drawing teams such as Rochdale, Preston North End and Queens Park Rangers.
Defeats to the likes Accrington Stanley and Chester City also deserve a sizeable mention.
Last night became the exception for the first time in my 17-season tenure as a season ticket holder and after the Reds were the first ball pulled from the hat I fully expected to see Brighton or Gillingham pulled next, maybe even the ultimate underdogs Stanley once again.
When George Gavin of Sky Sports uttered the words Arsenal, I nearly choked on my peppermint tea.
I was fully expecting this to be a rehearsal, or a dream, such was my shock at Forest actually being handed a decent draw and under the City Ground lights too!
The 3-0 reverse at the hands of Chester will forever stick in my memory and goes down as my lowest moment supporting Forest.
Four hours and various trains to get there, peeing it down with rain for the entire 90 minutes and Gary Holt’s needless red card in the first-half all contributing to an horrific afternoon.
Arsenal is an intriguing and exciting tie for us long-suffering Forest fans and less than 24 hours after the draw, I can already feel excitement gathering among supporters on social media.
The Gunners are notorious for resting players in the League Cup and the question I ask is, after being embarrassed by Championship side Sheffield Wednesday last season in the competition, will boss Arsene Wenger make the same mistake again and name a weakened side?
If he does he could be in for a shock once more.
After a summer of inactivity in the transfer market I am not entirely sure the French manager can afford to be sacking off competitions with such ease, with sections of the Gunners faithful already calling for his head.
After waiting so long for a marquee side to arrive at the City Ground I am kind of hoping he sends several members of his star-studded squad.
Okay, so the likes of Mesut Ozil, Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez rocking up on Trentside would probably ensure an emphatic defeat for the Reds, but how often are we likely to see these types of players as supporters of Nottingham Forest?
In hindsight, with Arsenal facing Chelsea in the Premier League the Saturday after their trip to the East Midlands, it is probably more Chuba Akpom, Calum Chambers and Alex Iwobi that we can look forward to instead.
Talk among supporters has turned towards tickets for the game with many seemingly unhappy that a lot of so-called ‘armchair’ fans will be at the game. You know the ones who buy a shirt, watch a few games on television and call themselves the oracle of all knowledge in relation to a certain team.
This is Nottingham Forest we are talking about.
Armchair or plastic supporters are, to me, the ones who support the likes of Manchester United while living in Mansfield, yet couldn’t navigate their way to Manchester, let alone recite the 1999 Champions League winning side.
I am sure that Forest has a lot of supporters who don’t go to the City Ground anymore.
Some might have family or work commitments now while others might just be disgruntled at year after year of disappointment.
Others might not be able to keep up with the financial implications which modern day football now has on people.
Do the above factors make it a bad thing that they want to come and be a part of a potentially special night in their club’s history? I don’t think so.
If anything they might come, enjoy being back at the City Ground and opt to come and see us entertain the likes of Aston Villa, Derby County and Newcastle United later on in the season.
A packed out City Ground under the midweek floodlights is a thing of beauty and I for one cannot wait for Arsenal to arrive!

Yorkshire's latest Radio 1 stars The Sherlocks had a muddy great time at Leeds Festival - they drew a crowd of more than 6,000 fans then camped out with them.
The Sheffield indie four piece turned down a five star hotel and proved they are a real band of the people.
After packing out the Festival Republic stage they decided to pitched a tent in one of the muddy camp sites.
Frontan Kiaran Crook, aged 20, revealed: "We played our set then decided to camp through the night. We had an option to go into a five star hotel, with a jacuzzi and everything, but we decided to camp.
"We just love it."
He then joked: "We ended up camping next to the Red Hot Chili Peppers- I could hear Anthony snoring.
"But no, seriously, we love it. We love a bit of mud. We just thought, we might as well have the full festival experience."
Melvin Benn, Reading and Leeds Festival boss, said: "I didn't know The Sherlocks went and pitched up in the camp site. It doesn't surprise me. It's what my kids do. They want to be in the public camp site. Anybody who thinks the VIP area is the place to be, I can tell you it's a bit more boring."
Other Yorkshire bands who played at Leeds over the weekend included Sheffield's The Wired, Liberty Ship, Bang Bang Romeo, Leeds band Dusk, Fighting Caravans, York based Faux Pas and many more.
The Sherlocks, also featuring Kiaran's brother, drummer Brandon, 23, guitarist Josh Davidson, 22, and his brother and bassist Andy, 17, recently played the biggest music festival in the world, SXSW in Austin, Texas.
The Sherlocks played to over 6,000 people then camped out with fans in muddy fields at Leeds Festival.
They also played at Reading Festival at the weekend but said Leeds, their Yorkshire homecoming, was the highlight of their year.
Kiaran added: "Leeds Festival is really important to us. It's given us a chance to pick up new fans. We had a blast. The tent was packed. It exceeded what we thought it would be.We're going on tour next month, starting in Brighton and finishing in Stockton, with a sold out gig in Leeds.
"It would be nice to do the NME/Radio 1 stage next year, I think that's where we are heading."
Brandon added: "We are at home when playing Leeds festival. Now we need to get an album out while we've got momentum behind us."
The Sherlocks, who will record their debut album later this year, begin a 16-date UK headline tour later this week, including a sold out show at The Wardrobe in Leeds, on Tuesday, September 20.

It coincides with the start of a new season of the hit BBC One show.

They will take part in free taster sessions on Saturday, September 3, from noon to 2pm. Full details and more at www.city-limits.co.uk
City Limits is run by Sheffield born Darren's parents, former dance champions, Tony and Judith, and his twin brother Dale.

They turned professional in 2003, winning the British National Professional Championship two years running and made the final of the World and European Championships.
But they became household names when they joined the cast of Strictly Come Dancing in 2004 and won the show in consecutive years.

In 2005, Lilia waltzed off with the title while partnering Barnsley's own former Yorkshire and England cricketing star Darren Gough, after which they also went on to win the International Christmas special.
They went on to host their own West End show, Latin Fever, which they toured nationally and are today still regarded as one of Britain’s finest Latin American dance couples.
More recently they have worked on the Turkish and Lebanese versions of the Strictly TV show, Darren, born in Deepcar and brought up in Todwick, as a judge and Lilia as a consultant choreographer to the professional dancers.
Darren has also consulted on Danse Avec la Stars, the first series of the French version of Dancing with the Stars.
As well as being successful competitors and performers they have built up an International reputation as coaches, choreographers and first class trainers in both dance and corporate arenas.
They have also trained many of the top junior, youth and amateur couples, including the British Junior champions and No. 1 youth couple in the UK.
Darren's twin Dale said: "Strictly is back and we have Darren and Lilia joining us for an open day, with free taster sessions for children and adults to come along and see what being a student at City Limits is like.

That is the question on most supporters’ lips as the county requires a miracle to avoid relegation to Division Two of the Specsavers County Championship – in the same season as they reached the T20 Blast finals day and continued to strengthen the success of the Notts Outlaws one-day brand.
Even victory in their final three County Championships Division One fixtures, including at Durham this week, will not guarantee their survival and avoid a second ever relegation.
You could say that it is unthinkable for a Test venue to be probably hosting Second Division cricket next summer, but it happened a decade ago and Notts bounced back.
There were no thoughts of relegation in May when Notts topped the table. Yet they will start at Chester-le-Street on Wednesday (31st August) 35 points adrift and with just one win all season from their 13 four-day matches – that victory coming as long ago as the opening game of the season against Surrey at Trent Bridge.
It has been a sudden fall from grace for Chris Read’s men, who won the County Championship just six years ago. But the side, coached by Mick Newell since 2002, have perhaps fallen guilty of not heeding the warnings of one year ago.
The 2015 season saw Nottinghamshire struggle in the opening months in Division One, before a terrific second half of the season took them up to third place.
The recovery was built on a strong batting line-up with Riki Wessels, Brendan Taylor and Alex Hales all scoring more than 1,000 runs. Not to mention the contribution with the bat of England’s James Taylor.
So it is perhaps ironic that both Read and Newell have both admitted as this season has worn on that a lack of runs has cost them dear this time around.
Yes, Nottinghamshire have been unlucky. First they lost James Taylor to the much-publicised heart condition that ended his playing career at the start of the season.
The success of opener Hales becoming a regular England regular has also been his county’s loss when runs have, so often, been at a premium. In fact, Hales has played just twice and tops the county’s batting averages.
More bad luck has come with injuries. Captain Read missed several matches after breaking his hand in May – and his runs have been badly missed.
Stuart Broad’s injuries and England duties have also severely limited his four-day cricket for Nottinghamshire – but that has been the case for several years.
However, his runs lower down the order would undoubtedly have helped as defeats became a regular occurrence in the championship.
Occasionally the experienced Broad and Read have chipped in with vital runs down the order, but the likes of Michael Lumb, Wessels, Brendon Taylor and Samit Patel (one incredible hundred apart) havn’t delivered often enough this summer – particularly in the second innings of matches.
Steven Mullaney leads the way (apart from Hales) with an average of 38, has struck two centuries and scored 856 runs, so should be exempt from criticism of the batting overall.
But the fact he is 43rd in the rankings of the division’s best batsmen shows how disappointing Notts’ run-gathering has been.
In contrast, England’s young seamer, local product Jake Ball, is 19th in the bowling averages.
Notts’ bad luck with the loss of James Taylor was compounded in the bowling department when injury prevented Australian international Peter Siddle from returning to Trent Bridge to be their overseas player before the season started.
But most observers do not place the blame for the almost-certain relegation on the bowling attack – or any perceived distractions by success in the one-day game.
The championship season started relatively well with that three-wicket victory over Surrey. But perhaps the alarm bells were ringing even then, in the second innings.
Notts, batting first, totalled more than 400 with Mullaney hitting a century and Notts enforcing the follow-on. Australian Jackson Bird, who replaced Siddle, and Ball underlined the strength of the seam attack to set-up a 169-run target, but the second innings wobble that saw Notts fall from 72 without loss to win by just three wickets was a sign of the batting frailty to come.
A week later an eight-wicket defeat to Lancashire was notable for the paucity of runs as only captain Read made passed 50.
A draw against old rivals Yorkshire in front of the Sky TV cameras saw Read hit the 25th century of his career and Mullaney, Broad and Patel strike half-centuries.
Notts came within one wicket of victory on a thrilling final evening and topped the table. But it needed 200 runs from the last four wickets in Notts’ second innings to keep them in the game as the top order again failed.
Hales, Lumb and Patel all made 50s in a rain-hit draw with Middlesex, before the fragility of the batting-order reared its head in spectacular fashion during a 53-run home defeat to Warwickshire.
Chasing a modest 227 to win, Notts collapsed with nine batsmen – including Lumb who struck a first innings ton – failing to make double figures.
The heroics of Patel, who smashed a 68-ball century while wickets tumbled around him, prompted coach Newell to admit: “When one bloke gets 75 percent of the runs you have to be a bit disappointed. Some of our players will have to reflect that they have not really had the best of games. You can manage with only eight or nine playing well, but not when it is only six or seven.”
Those thoughts were to be repeated by supporters for most of the rest of the summer as batsmen threw their wickets away cheaply.
Just three batsmen passed 50 in a defeat at Hampshire, where Read suffered that crucial injury, before a week later former Zimbabwe captain Taylor twice hit a century in a run-fest draw, marred by rain, with Durham.
When four-day cricket resumed a month later Notts were well beaten by 228 runs at The Kia Oval with only Taylor passing 50 against Surrey. Runs were again at a premium in a draw with Warwickshire, before Notts dominated a draw with Lancashire.
At that point Newell drew a parallel with last season’s fightback in the second half of the season – but this time it never came.
While the T20 side reeled off victory after victory, the four-day side continued to find runs hard to come by. A 10-wicket loss to Somerset saw Mullaney and Jake Libby put on almost 200 for the first wicket at the start of the match. Somehow no other batsmen then got past 44.
Mullaney hit his second century of the season in a losing cause as Notts were humbled by 176 runs by Hampshire at Trent Bridge two weeks ago.
Then last week, in a must-win clash with Yorkshire, Notts somehow again turned a strong position into a defeat.
Having reduced Yorkshire to 51 for six, Notts then crumbled to 94 all out in reply to Yorkshire’s first innings 282. A second innings capitulation for 146 runs has surely spelled the end for Notts’ survival hopes.
They lost 20 wickets in less than 100 overs at Scarborough in front of a noisy crowd full of holidaymakers. This season has been anything but a holiday for those who follow Nottinghamshire cricket. | http://www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/news/opinion-where-has-it-all-gone-wrong-for-nottinghamshire-in-red-ball-cricket-1-8093889 | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/936f3452ce854d7bc9da241bd23f3cf86c492d2fb0920cb0938106216a184229.json |

They top along list of big name local breaking local bands - including The Wired, Fighting Caravans and Faux Pas - who are being showcased at Leeds.
Local talent is joining the the likes of Biffy Clyro and Fall Out Boy - who played Leeds last night - Foals and Disclosure, who perform tonight, and Red Hot Chili Peppers who will close Leeds Festival this Bank Holiday weekend.

The Sherlocks, singer songwriter Kiaran Crook, 20, brother and drummer Brandon, 23, guitarist Josh Davidson, 22, and his brother and bassist Andy, 17, recently played the biggest music festival in the world, the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas.
But this is the biggest showcase weekend for the Bolton Upon Dearne indie quartet who have over 700 gigs to their name and have also just completed their first UK headline tour, selling out venues around the country, with their latest single Last Night getting lots of Radio 1 airplay.
Last year Kiaran, Brandon, Josh and Andy drew a huge number of fans before Sunday lunchtime at Reading, but a coveted evening slot on this year’s popular Festival Republic stage meant the crowds in the south were even bigger.
On a scorching summer evening the temperature in Berkshire was almost as high as the anticipation for the band of brothers’ 30 minute seven song set.
At exactly 5.45pm the lads, playing it cool as always, bounded on stage to kick off with single Last Night followed by favourites Escapade and Heart of Gold.
They continued with epic new song Candle Light, Live for the Moment and finished with Chasing Shadows as two giant beach balls flew back and forth across the arena.
Will You Be There?, which had one of its first plays at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, was another soaring highlight.
The huge Reading turn out for Yorkshire's latest Radio 1 stars The Sherlocks
Almost all the sides to the huge festival tent were drawn back meaning the Sherlocks’ sound carried beyond the tent poles. More and more joined the audience as the gig went on and by the end of the set the place was rammed.
“That was astonishing” frontman Kiaran told us as he came off stage.
“Last year was truly memorable, but this year Reading has taken it to another level. We’re seeing crowd reactions we'd only ever seen in the north before.
“We love it down here and now we're buzzing even more for Leeds.”
* The Sherlocks play The Festival Republic stage at Leeds Festival 5:45pm, Saturday August 27 and tour nationwide in September.

Drummer vocalist Isaac Holman and band mate Laurie Vincent, on guitar and vocals, play Leeds Festival main stage on Sunday after Reading Festival on Saturday.
And they say northern fans are often more wild than anywhere else in the country.
"I don't know if we can take control of the Leeds crowd but I'll give it a good old go," laughed Isaac, promising fans 'blood, sweat and laughs'.
AUDIO: Listen to Slaves star Isaac Holman's exclusive chat with Graham Walker - CLICK HERE.
"We are a southern band so we did a bit better down south at first. But the northern crowds are even more wild for us now than down south sometimes. I think Leeds is going to go off.
"It's completely what I live for. I love playing live. It's the only time my mind goes quiet and I feel comfortable when I step out on stage. The more people there the merrier."
GET LEEDS AND READING FESTIVAL APP: Daily set times for Reading and Leeds Festivals are now live on the R&L App - iTunes and Android.
Slaves are on the same bill as Red Hot Chili Peppers. Imagine Dragons and Courteeners.
Other superstar bands playing this weekends include Biffy Clyro, Fall Out Boy, Foals, Disclosure, The Vaccines and Chvrches - along with rising local stars, such as South Yorkshire's own Radio 1 hitmakers The Sherlocks. Leeds Festival is set to attract around 80,000 people.
Isaac, who also revealed they still get starstruck, said it will be a highlight of their year which also includes a 15 date UK headline tour in November and the release of next album Take Control on September 30.
Isaac added: "Sometimes you get starstruck. Me and Laurie definitely do fanboy some people we meet. But the more you get into the scene you realise everyone is just a person and it becomes a little bit more normal.
"We've worked our way up through the stages. Being main stage is like another level - Leeds and Reading were the festivals we went to when we were younger and I don't think we ever imagined we would be on the bill let alone on the main stage. It's brilliant."
Slaves, from Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, will be laying waste to venues across the country as they launch into a full UK tour in November. Yorkshire dates include Leeds O2 Academy on Tuesday, November 15 and Sheffield O2 Academy, on Friday, November 25.
See full tour, ticket details and album download links links below.
Slaves earned a reputation for themselves as one of the UK’s fiercest live acts with their constant touring and festival appearances off the back of last year's debut album, Are you Satisfied?
Their next hit album in waiting was part recorded at Jackson Browne’s studio in Santa Monica, California.
Take Control was produced by one of the legends of early hip hop and New York punk, Mike D who, says Laurie, “Became like another member of our band – we can safely call him our friend, which is just surreal!”
The album finds the young pair sharpening up their skills, both in songwriting and in execution and sounding heavier in places.
Several tracks on the album were recorded on vintage equipment used by the Beastie Boys on their classic records, Including STD’s PhD’s, Angelica and Consume Or Be Consumed.
Recorded back home in London, Steer Clear was a collaboration with another hero, Baxter Dury, who lent his distinctive vocals to a duet with Isaac.
Slaves first emerged in 2012, working their way up through the local toilet-venue circuit to become one of the success stories of 2015.
The band’s debut album Are You Satisfied? smashed in to the UK top 10 and earned the band huge critical acclaim. Thanks to their charismatic mash-up of punky urgency and silly humour, they bagged Kerrang!’s Spirit Of Punk award and NME’s Best Video award (for Cheer Up London), while also securing nominations for the Mercury Music Prize, and for Best New Band at Q and NME.
Along the way, they’ve won the hearts of The Streets’ Mike Skinner, stolen the show on last year’s NME tour, had Skepta join them on stage at Radio 1’s Big Weekend and toured with Jamie T and Wolf Alice – the latter in America in March, after which Wolf Alice’s drummer Joel Amey bunked off to California to play on new track People That You Meet.

Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on Tuesday, August 23, how Martin O’Malley, 63, of West Street, Eckington, was spotted and stopped by police in Eckington after he had been seen driving at speed.
Prosecuting solicitor Neil Hollett said: “It was quarter past 8pm, on August 5, when the defendant was seen driving in excess of the speed limit in a 30mph zone and he was stopped on Dronfield Road.”
O’Malley registered 87microgrammes of alcohol in 100millilitres of breath after taking a drink-drive test when the legal limit is 35microgrammes.
The defendant told the court: “I had attended a funeral that morning. It’s no defence but I got reminiscing and I made an error because I drank too much.
“I’m thinking of not driving again. I think I have learned my lesson.”
Magistrates disqualified O’Malley from driving for 20 months and he declined an offer to take a drink-drive rehabilitation course to reduce the ban.
He was also fined £400 and must pay £85 costs and a £40 victim surcharge.

The seventh Macmillan Fest is to be held at music venues across Nottingham on Saturday, September 3.
Since its inception, the annual charity event has raised more than £20,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support and this year’s festival of music is to play host to over 60 bands, many of them from this area.
Macmillan Fest provides a role providing a showcase for local and national bands, as well as raising money and awareness for this good cause.
Rock City, Stealth and the Rescue Rooms are the venues taking part and among the bands involved will be Sikth, Inme, Area 11, Black Peaks, The Qemists, Seafret, Eyre Llew, Suspect Alibi, Stop Stop, Continents, Three Girl Rhumba and Tigress.
Kris Davis of IKE Productions has organised this event for the past six years. He explained: “I started raising money for Macmillan when I was 16, my form tutor had been diagnosed with a brain tumour. I found out that Macmillan was supporting him and I wanted to raise some money to help continue the work that they do. Since then I have met thousands of people who come to our event to show their support for the charity all with their own personal experiences. Its people coming together that makes you realise how we are all affected and that nobody should face cancer alone”.
Other bands on the bill are Parasight, Just James, Harken, Lock And Key, Liberty Lies, Our Saving Day, Cut The Heroics, Adelphia, Unknown Era and others.
Stacey Smalley, Macmillan fundraising manager added: “Macmillan Fest is a fantastic event for people to enjoy national and local bands and help raise money to make a difference to the lives of people affected by cancer.”

Johnny Winter -I’m A Bluesman (Talking Elephant). Johnny Winter was a rather frail 60-year-old when I’m A Bluesman first saw the light of day in 2004, returning to the fray slightly tentatively after being debilitated for several years by a string of troubling health issues. The power and potency which had been such a feature of the veteran bluesman’s work in times past may have been sadly absent by this stage of his career, but his passion for the genre remained undimmed, and Winter devotees would be well advised to lend an ear to fine tracks such as Sugar Coated Love or the acoustic country blues of fellow Texan Hop Wilson’s That Wouldn’t Satisfy.
Colosseum - Live (Esoteric/Cherry Red). Drummer Jon Hiseman’s trailblazing jazzrock outfit recorded the original Colosseum Live at Manchester University and the Big Apple in Brighton in March 1971, showcasing some of the genuinely progressive material which had made them such a force on the concert circuit during those faroff years. This CD reissue expands on the original album with a bonus disc culled from the same 1971 shows, including alternative versions of gems such as Rope Ladder To The Moon and Skellington and an impressive rendition of the epic Valentyne Suite.
Skinny Lister - The Devil, The Heart & The Fight (Xtra Mile). This six-piece London-based band’s heady fusion of rock, folk and punk is captured in all its rabble rousing glory as Skinny Lister unveil their third studio album. This infectious package channels the spirit of admirable outfits such as The Pogues and The Clash via memorable ditties such as Hamburg Drunk and Wanted and Dexys soundalike Fair Winds & Following Seas is also well worth a few minutes of anyone’s time. Splendid stuff.
John McCusker - Hello, Goodbye (Under One Sky Records). Award-winning Scottish folkie McCusker celebrates his 25th anniversary as a professional musician with the release of this delightfully evocative package, which was penned during the quieter moments of his recent world tour with Mark Knopfler. The producer, composer and multiinstrumentalist has drawn on the services of some fine roots music performers to underpin his sterling efforts here, including two of the understated stars of the BBC’s excellent Transatlantic Sessions, accordionist Phil Cunningham and bluegrass mandolin ace.

The academy graduates have both made their Specsavers County Championship debuts for the county this summer. Davis has made three four-day appearances, claiming 14 wickets at an average of 30, including figures of 7-146, the best by a Derbyshire bowler this year. He is the second youngest player ever to claim seven in an innings for the county.
Hemmings has featured in one first-class fixture this year, making his debut versus Worcestershire in June. The 20-year-old has also impressed for the second XI, earning him his first professional deal.
Head coach John Sadler said: “Will and Rob are promising young players who have both impressed after making their debuts this summer. They will now both benefit greatly from another winter working full time with the first team as they continue their developments.
“We have a good group of talented young players who continue to learn and improve. We hope Will and Rob will be part of a crop of youngsters who will stand up and help contribute regularly to winning games for Derbyshire for years to come.” | http://www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/new-deals-for-exciting-derbyshire-ccc-academy-prospects-1-8083927 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/99098a4f80f28b5e100d5c6726d33b08e9ce2f9ac531bff2e1f45f42d4edfeb0.json |

Every year, YMCA Derbyshire helps hundreds of troubled young people aged between 16 and 25 get their lives on track by offering them education and accommodation.
“We take young people from the chaotic to contributing members of society,” Grace Harrison, fundraising communications manager for the charity, explains.
The Young Men’s Christian Association was founded in London in 1844 by Sir George Williams and the Derbyshire branch was set up shortly afterwards in 1847.
Nowadays the Christian organisation caters for young people indiscriminate of their faith or gender with the mantra, ‘protect, trust, hope and persevere’, which is taken from Corinthians 13: 4-7.
Grace continues: “We protect them, we trust them to make the right choices, we hope for their future and we persevere for them.”
She explains that the charity may help a young person more than once and persevere to help them overcome their troubles.
The YMCA has education and training centres in Ashgate Manor, in Chesterfield, Coronation Street, in Ilkeston, and various locations in Derby.
“We can offer maths and English GCSEs, we offer a lot of vocational training, hospitality, computer skills, health and safety,” Grace says.
“We track the jobs market to see where the most opportunities are and we offer training to meet that. That way we give young people the best chance of getting a job.”
The organisation works with employers throughout the county to offer young people work experience. An example of this is a group of ten young people who are currently carrying out work experience at Toyota in South Derbyshire, where they are working in various different sectors, such as catering, security and administration.
Young people learning catering are also able to put their skills into practice through the charity’s own learning kitchen in Derby.
They are often called upon to cater large events and will be doing so for a fundraising evening being held later this month, due to be attended by the High Sheriff of Derbyshire, Lord Lieutenant of Derbyshire and managing director of Toyota among the 200 guests - the aim of which is to raise £15,000 for the charity.
Grace explains that the YMCA is a college, and like all other colleges, it is regulated by Ofsted - achieving an overall rating of ‘good’ in it’s last inspection.
YMCA Derbyshire offers accommodation or young people from all over the county who have no place to go on its campus in Derby.
“We have 88 units of accommodation on site with 24/7 care and support. We also have over 40 ‘move on’ units across the city,” says Grace.
The ‘move on’ accommodation is for when young people are ready to leave the campus, but not quite ready to be on their own yet. They are still able to access advice and support from the charity.
In 2015 alone the charity supported 211 people through accommodation and 262 through training.
Gillian Sewell, CEO of YMCA Derbyshire comments: “We offer young and vulnerable people a safe front door, supported accommodation, suitable accredited training and education courses, access to employment projects and mentoring opportunities. All of which is aimed at getting individuals in to further education, employment and on to independent living.
She continues: “I have seen many young people arrive at YMCA Derbyshire with damaged hope and enjoy seeing them leave with qualifications, increased confidence, self esteem and resilience. We believe that every young person should not limit their horizons they should work hard, engage in the support provided and then reap the rewards that comes with that.”
Gillian says the charity can offer you people a second chance.
“Whether mainstream school hasn’t quite worked for them, or there has been a breakdown in the family home YMCA Derbyshire are here to offer the support and guidance needed to enable every young person to belong, contribute and thrive,” she says. “We work in the local community for the local community.
“The need for our services is greater than ever and we require support to sustain and develop our work, and remain responsive to the real needs in our local community. We welcome support from individuals, businesses, churches, community groups and schools.
YMCA Derbyshire has regular intakes for training and education courses.

Unless you have been on Mars; you’ll no doubt have heard about Oliver Burke’s departure from Nottingham Forest at the weekend. However, I will embellish on this fiasco later on in the week.
So let us rewind to Saturday when everything was a bit brighter and even I refused to be negative!
Leeds United were the visitors the City Ground and under the stewardship of Gary Monk looked a tricky tie on paper.
It’s no surprise that both clubs have identical records since their respective tumbles from the Promised Land that we call the Premier League.
Leeds have had an indifferent start to this campaign under Gary Monk but you get the feeling that he will turn it around anytime now, luckily for us that time was certainly not 5.45pm last Saturday.
Forest started brightly against the Yorkshire men and forced some early corners, Oliver Burke almost netted one of them off Lansbury’s whipped delivery.
The home side did indeed take the lead by virtue of an identical delivery; Pajtim Kasami exploited the same defensive frailties and blasted home from close range with ease.
It was fantastic to see Stephen Henderson have a solid game too; despite the odd flap here and there he was on hand to produce a cracking save to prevent a Leeds equaliser. He also plucked a couple of dangerous crosses safely from their intended targets.
Speaking to a couple of Leeds fans, it soon became evident that they had a real problem defending crosses and corners. Forest punished them in this manner once again to go two goals ahead in the second half.
Damien Perquis hung in the air like Michael Jordan before planting an unstoppable header past Rob Green. It seems more than just a coincidence that the reds were utilising every opportunity to get the ball into the box, if this was indeed tactical nouse by Philippe Montanier, then hats off to him.
I’m still not sure about him but he’s certainly not boring, that’s for sure!
I even thought that we might achieve our first clean sheet of the season, but the home defence, manager and goalkeeper cannot be held responsible for Leeds United’s goal in the 83rd minute. Kevin Phillips scored an absolute beauty of a free kick, from all of thirty yards out.
The familiar nervous grumblings began to echo around our famous old stadium soon after the Leeds goal - a predicted score line of 4-3 carried itself from the Trent End to the A block, accompanied by a wave of nervous laughter.
Well, on previous evidence, you’d be a brave man or woman to disagree!
Unbeknown to the remaining supporters in the ground, they were about to witness a moment of history in added on time at the end of the game. In the same way that those stragglers who witnessed Des Walker’s only ever goal did, the Forest fans were treated to a swansong from Oliver Burke.
The young genius weaved and powered his way from the left touchline before finishing from the tightest of angles past Green. If this is the last we ever see of Oliver Burke in the famous red jersey, then it was a wonderful way to say goodbye.
You could compare it to Carl Froch’s last ever punch in professional boxing; a career defining moment that will live long in the memory.
It is beyond comprehension that the club have allowed such an amazing talent to go at the first sign of any real money, especially after we offloaded Jamie Paterson in the same week.
As I said at the beginning of this piece, I have LOTS to say about the Burke transfer but not just now. As the Irish like to say: “A windy day is not for thatching”. | http://www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/opinion-oliver-burke-says-goodbye-in-style-with-nottingham-forest-1-8095211 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/66dfe7fa6f77044782fa0ec57b6656d397d44c79d69dec847b1745e1ff23901e.json |

Detectives investigating the robbery released moving footage of the crime and details of a potential witness they are trying to trace.
They said: "At around 10pm on Tuesday, August 23, two men entered the Co-op, in Draycott Road, Sawley, holding knives.
"They threatened staff and took cigarettes and money from the till before leaving on some sort of motorbike.
"One wore a grey top with blue stripes down the sleeve and red crash helmet with silver stars. The other wore a blue top and a black cap. His face was covered with a blue scarf."
As part of the investigation, police are trying to trace a man who went into the Tamworth Road Co-Op, in Long Eaton, at around 9.45pm that evening and told staff there were two men acting suspiciously outside.
One robber was shown on CCTV to intimidate a staff member who seemed to resist opening the till.
Detectives added: "He could have witnessed something which may help the inquiry. The man, who was in the company of a woman, is white and he wore a dark blue t-shirt with a round, white logo on the front."
Officers are also hoping that one of the robber' distinctive motorcucle helmet may help trace him.
The helmet has been identified as an RST Cobra Vent in red and silver, with some black detailing in the pattern.
It was worn for the duration of the robbery by one of two men who demanded cash and cigarettes from staff at the Co-op, in Draycott Road, Sawley, and detectives investigating the robbery want to hear from anyone who recognises the helmet or knows someone who owns one.
He is then shown waving to his victim as he leaves the shop.
Witnesses or anyone with information should call DS Scott McDermott on 101, quoting reference 16000248474.
You can also call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Police are hoping this image of one of the duo's distinctive helmet will help trace him. Do you know anyone who owns one?

Brent, the needy, egotistical, socially awkward star of TV mockumentary The Office is iconic and reviving him is creator Ricky Gervais’s biggest risk to date.
David Brent is working in sales but he’s no longer in charge and, behind his thin facade, the comedown stings.
Instead, Brent’s based in an open-plan telesales department complete with another joker and an office bully who intimidates them both.
Brent’s courage to try something new, throwing himself into a self-funded music tour with hired band Foregone Conclusion is admirable.
Yet the virtue is tempered by Brent’s warped idea that fame will bring him happiness.
He’s still suffering the fallout from public reaction to The Office but this rich material remains largely untapped, lost instead behind a barrage of repetitive gags.
Brent’s songs, from Native American to Equality Street, are still so politically incorrect we want to curl up and pretend this isn’t happening, yet Gervais is kinder to Brent here than he’s ever been.
Since Derek, Gervais seems softer and the final act has heaps of heart and soul. Watching Brent strive for popularity in the face of co-workers and bandmates who openly dislike him is never easy but Gervais throws in a handful of characters who can see Brent’s gentler side.
David Brent: Life On The Road isn’t as funny, as smart or as brutal as The Office but Gervais doesn’t entirely miss this opportunity to give us an older not wiser, more desperate Brent and the closure is sublime.

That’s exactly what’s on offer with WiFi Wars coming to Buxton’s Pavilion Arts Centre on Saturday, September 3.
The event is hosted by comedian and regular video games commentator, Steve McNeil, and his tech wizard sidekick and coding king Rob Sedgebeer.
The pair will be featured in a new BBC Radio 4 documentary about video gaming, While My Guitar Gently Bleeps. A television adaptation of their original live show, Go 8-Bit, hosted by Dara O’Briain will be screened on Dave this autumn.
We spoke to Rob about what audiences can expect at WiFi Wars:
Q. Tell us, why should people come to a WiFi Wars show?
A. To come and play a range of fun video games with the rest of the audience, using the latest smart phone technology. With the added bonus of watching two sweaty men panic on stage.
Q. What’s the dynamic like between the two of you in/out of the show?
A. Outside the show, Steve does all the admin work, I do all the coding. During the show, Steve does the talking, I do the buttons. It’s a fair division of labour.
Q. Can you explain how the audience gets involved in WiFi Wars?
A. The audience connects to our WiFi network using their phone or tablet. From there I can send games and controls to their device, using web based technology. No wizard magic required!
Q. How does the show differ from other live shows out there?
A. It’s the ultimate in audience interaction. No other live show demands you keep your mobile phone switched on!
Q. What excites you most about the show?
A. It’s an entirely new form of live entertainment. We get to build and play video games with huge numbers of people in a way that has never been done before.
Q. Go 8-Bit was your original live comedy gaming show that has been commissioned as a TV series on Dave to air this autumn. How is the TV series similar/different to WiFi Wars?
A. Go 8 Bit is all about watching beloved comedians making fools of themselves playing classic video games. The audience do get to play along with a few games, but in WiFi Wars they get to play ALL the games. It’s a much more interactive show.
l WiFi Wars starts at 7pm on September 3. Tickets £17.50 and £12 (under 16s) with £1.75 discount for groups of eight and above, students, seniors, disabled, JSA, income support.

Think the English country house with the obedient Labrador, tatty leather luggage, stuffed animal heads, the hit films Gosford Park and The Shooting Party.
Country pursuits brings to mind hunting, shooting and fishing and items from these areas will be well represented at the auction. With Derbyshire being a county of real importance for all these, having grouse moors in the north, a hunting tradition extending back into the eighteenth century and famous rivers, the Dove, Derwent and Trent marking its boundaries, there will be a wealth of interesting items featured in the auction.
Past sales have included equestrian equipment, boots, saddles and more, sporting firearms, from wildfowling pieces through shotguns to air weapons, fishing tackle from rods, reels, creels and baskets down to the smallest accessories and lures. Not just the essential equipment needed for the active participation but also paintings and other works of art, prints, books, catalogues, hip flasks, diaries and other documentation.
Taxidermy is much in demand, particularly with interior designers and has featured strongly in recent auctions. A stag head recently sold for £760. Stuffed fish are also hotly contested at auction, particularly those by famous taxidermists such as Cooper and Sons. An Edwardian period pike in a bow fronted glazed case sold for £1,800 last year. Watch out for fakes though as some ‘fish’ are in fact caved in wood, although these are a more affordable collectors item.
Let us not overlook other countryside activities, farming and the essential crafts needed to maintain those iconic views we all hold dear. The work of our Derbyshire dry Countrystone wallers and hedge layers always attract interest and comment.
The Hansons country pursuits auctions include rural bygones, vintage agricultural and domestic tools - all that go to present a complete picture of country life as it was, as it is and as it continues to be.
Do you have any items by Westley Richards, Ustonson, B James, Sharpes, and Bruce and Walker combine with those from Malloch, Abu, Milward, Ogden Smith and Edgar Sealey? Or high quality modern fishing tackle too, made by the likes of Orvis, Sage, Hardy, Farlow, Thomas and Thomas, and Shimano? Entries are now being invited for the auction at Hansons Etwall Salerooms on September 26 with entries closing on August 31.

The Robins will belatedly begin the new season at home to Ashton United on Saturday after their first four games of the campaign were postponed by the NPL following a breach of rules and regulations.
Anton Brown has signed a two-year deal. Photo by Craig Lamont.
With the league now satisfied that all conditions have been met to see the suspension lifted, it’s all systems go at the New Manor Ground on Saturday.
Holland said: “It’s been frustrating to say the least but we’ve tried to make the best of it and keep smiles on faces within the squad.
“We have to hit the ground running and try and get the fans back on board. We’re already playing catch up which isn’t ideal but if we can get a good start then the games in hand may prove a plus.
“We’ve tried to keep everyone fit but we haven’t even been allowed to play in any friendlies so everything has been done during training.
“However, I’ve told the players there will be no excuses and I expect them to be fully prepared.”
The Robins also revealed that midfielder Anton Brown has signed for the club.
Brown, 29, featured during pre-season for Ilkeston and includes Corby Town, Alfreton Town, Nuneaton Town and Harrogate Town on his CV.
Holland said: “I was always confident that I’d get him, but until you get the signature on paper, you never know for sure that you will get the player.
“There were several other clubs interested in him and that he chose Ilkeston shows that he was true to his word.
“He had work and family commitments over the final weeks of pre-season which needed to take priority for him, but he was back with us last night for training and he thoroughly enjoyed it and agreed to sign for two years, so I’m really pleased with that.
“I’ve known Anton since he was 16 and I’ve always known what a good player he is.
“He brings a bit more steel to the midfield and, along with Luke Foster and Rory Coleman, a bit more experience that the lads around him will learn from.”
Brown will be available to make his debut against Ashton.

The Robins were charged with failing to fulfill their first four fixtures of the season, despite the NPL having suspended their licence and banned them from playing at the time due to a breach in its rules and regulations.
The suspension was lifted last week, enabling Ilkeston to belatedly begin their campaign, but restrictions regarding the number of players they could register for the two matches played over the Bank Holiday weekend were put in place.
The nature of any punishment Ilkeston could receive is unclear, but fines and/or points deductions could be among the options available to the NPL committee.

The frustration leaves Rutland next to bottom in the First Division table, still 31 points behind Alfreton, the team they must overtake to avoid the drop and the team they face in a do-or-die duel at the Deer Park this Saturday. After that, there are just two games remaining.
Both Rutland and Sawley, the only team below them in the table, desperately needed a result from last weekend’s game. The visitors put Rutland in to bat on a strip already sodden by rain the previous Thursday night, and all eyes turned to David Smit.
Never has the pressure been greater on the star batsman, especially after his previous two innings had seen him score over half of the team’s totals (66 out of 121 and 103 out of 190). Smit duly delivered the goods again, firing a wonderful 97 in a total of 203-3. But this time, he was better supported too.
Opening partner Ian Banks (19) survived an easy caught-behind chance before hitting a six over extra cover and falling to a leaping one-handed grab by Danny Brown in the covers.
The score was already on 59 with Smit taking four boundaries from Jeff Glover’s gentle seamers. And he continued to dominate proceedings, hitting Rob Earlham for six before tucking into Michael Sibert’s leg-spin. Twenty was smashed off one over, including two more maximums towards the running track.
Smit’s dismissal from a tally of 149 came as a complete shock. A leg-spinner from Jordan Halford popped, took the glove and dropped back on to his stumps.
What was almost as great a surprise was that Rutland, who haven’t survived 50 overs batting first all season, kept going. Rob Green (29) and captain Luke Marriott (34) were both unbeaten when the rains came at the end of the 44th over, having added 54 for the fourth wicket against some testing bowling from Halford and Tom Beresford.
Marriott in particular showed glimpses of his true batting talent as he punished anything short of a length. How sad that the whole Rutland display should be worth only ten points when a full quota of 27 was so desperately required.
RAIN also washed out the Division Six South game at Etwall where Rutland’s relegation-threatened second XI had managed only 89, batting first. Amin Shafqat (29), Terry Gainey (19) and Vic Pilbeam (16) were the only players into double figures.

I’m writing this on Tuesday night, sat in my study at home rather than in the press box at the New Manor Ground where I would have been had the shenanigans with Ilkeston FC been sorted by now, or indeed not happened at all.
I’ll stick a quick disclaimer in here to say that by the time you read this, Ilkeston might well have been reinstated and will play on Saturday, but as I write, that isn’t the case.
I wasn’t working on Monday but my colleague Graham Smyth managed to speak to Robins CEO Nigel Harrop, although what Harrop is prepared to say remains limited at this stage for the often mentioned legal reasons.
As was the case last week, even I still can’t say a whole lot about what I gather to be the main reasons behind the league’s suspension and ensuing chaos, although the Northern Premier League’s statement and charge sheet that was put out on Monday raised more than a few eyebrows, and not just locally.
On the face of it, hauling Ilkeston over the coals for not fulfilling fixtures when it was the league that banned them from doing so in the first place seems pretty absurd.
But it would appear that the league wanted to see a little more evidence than they’ve received so far that Ilkeston are doing their bit to resolve the outstanding issues, whatever they may be.
If it’s that they owe clubs money and have to pay them, then seemingly the Che Adams money needs to hit the Ilkeston bank account first.
If that hasn’t happened, one has to ask why not, given it’s been a while now since the Adams transfer happened and I’d assume Sheffield United and the FA will have authorised the money transfer.
If (yes, another ‘if’) the ongoing problems are to do with the sell-on clause itself, and that is the reason they haven’t had the cash yet, then we’re probably getting a bit closer to what the real problem is.
Have the funds been frozen? Who or what has caused that to happen? Is there outside interference from a third party which is causing the whole thing to be held up and in the process threaten Ilkeston FC’s very existence? Who knows?
All we can say is that as this drags on you can’t help but fear more and more that the NPL’s patience will begin to wear thinner and that other clubs in the Premier Division will also start kicking up a fuss given the havoc it’s playing with their own fixture arrangements, not only now but also at a later date when all these games get rearranged.
The Robins are already four games behind in what is a congested season, so when other postponements later in the season are taken into account I think there will be plenty of extra midweek matches on the horizon.
Someone, be it an individual or more than one person, is to blame for all of this and should things really hit rock bottom - namely Ilkeston being thrown out of the league and with it their future being put in jeopardy - it’ll be among my many jobs to work out just whose fault it is and to hold them to account for what has happened.
My hands are tied a bit at the moment, otherwise I’d be aiming to get everything I can ascertain as fact down in print for you to read about, but as I’ve said before and as Ilkeston FC themselves have alluded to, there are clearly some legal risks attached to that and right now I’m not prepared to put myself or anyone else unnecessarily in danger of getting into trouble.
So we shall have to sit and wait. Football is mostly about what happens on the pitch and that really should be all that matters, particularly at this level, but once again politics, legal wrangles and subsequently angry supporters are at the forefront when really we should be talking about what Paul Holland and his squad are doing.
This whole saga is having a hugely detrimental effect on Ilkeston’s season before they’ve even kicked a ball. They’re barely getting any match time in, players might be starting to think about leaving and there’s the aforementioned fixture congestion that will inevitably follow. You could almost say the campaign will be a damage limitation exercise before it’s begun.
Ilkeston FC will go before the NPL on Wednesday of next week to answer their numerous charges and discover their fate.
I sincerely hope that the worst case scenario will ‘only’ be points deductions and fines, rather than any possibility of the Robins being thrown out of the league, but if they still haven’t played by then they will be six games behind and surely the powers that be will find it hard to give them any more leeway.
I, along with all supporters and those in the wider football community, sincerely hope this all ends well and as soon as possible. | http://www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/duffers-diaries-concern-growing-as-the-wait-continues-at-ilkeston-1-8085539 | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/a8de69c5467760acdd34d9be151b55c0dc85ea8f16bb93779de59e36ba8bd8f0.json |

Celebrating its 27th anniversary in the West End, The Woman In Black was first performed in Scarborough in 1987 to rave reviews.
The production opened in the West End in 1989.
Stephen Mallatratt’s adaptation of Susan Hill’s best-selling novel tells the story of a lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over him and his family by the spectre of a Woman in Black.
He engages a young actor to help him tell his story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. It begins innocently enough, but as they reach further into his darkest memories, they find themselves caught up in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds.
The borders between make believe and reality begin to blur and the flesh begins to creep.

Millie Twells, 16, from Ilkeston, was separated from her family during the attack, which saw a gunman target tourists on the beach and at the Riu Imperial Marhaba Hotel in Sousse, killing 38 people in June last year.
The terrifying attack left the Ormiston Ilkeston Enterprise Academy (OIEA) pupil scared and vulnerable, but following support from her family and the school, and undergoing therapy, Millie managed to achieve three Bs and four Cs in her exams.
“When the attack happened I got separated from my family,” said Millie. “I was terrified. I didn’t know what to do, I just ran and ran to get away from it.”
Millie, her mum Zoe and stepdad Paul were one day into their holiday when the gunman attacked. They were poolside at their hotel when they heard the gunfire and saw the terrorist approaching.
The family ran for safety but got split up. Millie ended up hiding with 15 others in a room behind the reception, after running down a corridor away from the gunman - who tried unsuccessfully to get inside the room.
“It was 47 minutes of hell while the attack was taking place,” said Zoe. “But then it was another hour until we found Millie and were all reunited. It was horrific.”
The family all suffered with post-traumatic stress disorder and Zoe and Paul ended up working with Nik and Eva Speakman on the ITV programme This Morning to help them cope. Millie was unable to take part in this as she was too young , but Zoe and Paul passed on some of their coping strategies.
Millie, who still suffers from anxiety and panic attacks, added: “Tunisia really affected me. I didn’t really know how to cope with it all and so I couldn’t come back to school. I missed eight months of school but I have managed to get these results and I am so happy.”
Staff at OIEA put together a personalised programme of study for Millie to ensure she was able to complete the work for her GCSEs. Teachers met with her outside school hours and during holidays, and the school also provided an environment where she felt safe to sit her exams.
Zoe said: “I am so proud of Millie. She has done amazingly well. We are really pleased that she will be able to go on to do her A-levels now.”
Millie now plans to study English, media and sociology at Kirk Hallam Sixth Form. | http://www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/news/local/ilkeston-teenager-who-escaped-tunisia-terror-attacks-celebrates-gcses-1-8090642 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/a60e8fac60b12a6b9ad1f01e2ab8604fda07702d505dc7ec00ba556227de713b.json |

Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on Tuesday, August 23, how Mark Shaw, 38, of Beech Way, Danesemoor, near Clay Cross, was stopped by police for driving erratically and they discovered the ASP in the driver’s side pocket.
Prosecuting solicitor Neil Hollett said: “It was about 8.55pm when police saw the vehicle on Market Street, at Clay Cross, and the defendant was driving erratically with wheel-spinning.
“They stopped the vehicle and spoke to the defendant and saw the ASP in the driver’s side pocket.”
He told police the ASP was bought online and he had no good reason for having the weapon other than that he uses it to control his dog which can be aggressive.
Shaw pleaded guilty to possessing an offensive weapon in a public place without lawful authority or reasonable excuse after the incident on May 27.
Defence solicitor Bertie Mather said there has been no complaint from any member of the public and no one has made any comments about being threatened with this item.
He added that the telescopic ASP was in a collapsed state when it was found and there had been no attempt to hide it and Shaw co-operated with the police.
Magistrates sentenced Shaw to a 12 month community order with 90 hours of unpaid work.
He was also ordered to pay £85 costs and an £85 victim surcharge.

The Advertiser understands that league officials are meeting this morning (Thursday) to discuss the Robins’ fate, with the club understood to have now paid creditors the outstanding debts that breached the Northern Premier League’s rules and regulations and led to their licence being suspended and them being banned from all footballing activity.
The club has since confirmed that the NPL have deferred their decision until Friday morning.
Robins CEO Nigel Harrop said: “We’ve ticked all boxes that should enable the suspension to be lifted and can do no more. We’re very hopeful of playing on Saturday.”
Ilkeston have so far had their first four league fixtures postponed and will face a league panel next Wednesday to answer charges of failing to fulfill those fixtures despite the suspension being in place at the time.
Should the suspension be lifted in time, Ilkeston should be able to start their league campaign against Ashton United at the New Manor Ground on Saturday.

Amber Valley-based Present Company is staging hit musical The Scarlet Pimpernel - by Frank Wildhorn and Nan Knighton - at Buxton Opera House from September 1 to 3.
Set against the backdrop of the bloody French Revolution, this a tale of courage, betrayal, justice, trust, intrigue, honour and love.
The story traces the exploits of Sir Percy Blakeney (played by David Partridge) and his “Bounders” during the 1793-4 Reign of Terror which followed the execution of Louis XVI. These aristocratic Englishmen rush across the Channel and using disguises and their wits, rescue their French counterparts from the guillotine. At home these ‘daredevils’ hide their identities, and their courage, by posing as Regency fops to avoid suspicion.
Sir Percy is married to French actress, Marguerite St Just (played by Rachael Louisa Bray), but she has a shadowy past including an affair with The Pimpernel’s arch enemy.
Performances are 7.30pm Thursday-Saturday plus a Saturday matinee from 2.30pm. For ticket details, you can call the box office on 01298 72190 or you can go online at www.buxtonoperahouse.org.uk

Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on Wednesday, August 24, how Bradley Haines, 26, formerly of Broughton Close, Riddings, Alfreton, grabbed his wife’s hair to stop her cutting his clothes and grabbed her again as she was holding their baby son.
Prosecuting solicitor Rod Chapman told a previous hearing the defendant’s wife had thought he had enjoyed a night out in Derby but when he arrived home he said he had been attacked by taxi drivers at Burton-upon-Trent and he later received a text from a woman.
His wife challenged him over the details and poured a bottle of water on him, according to Mr Chapman, and she pushed him down and told him to leave before threatening to cut his clothes with scissors.
Mr Chapman added that Haines took his wife by the hair and dragged her around the room and put her to the floor before she got up.
Mrs Haines then picked up her baby, according to Mr Chapman, and went onto the landing where the defendant took hold of her hair again.
Haines admitted to police he had grabbed his wife’s hair because he could not afford to replace his clothes and had pulled his wife to the floor and let go as she released the scissors.
He also admitted grabbing his wife by her hair again and pulling her to the floor when she had been holding the baby and was pregnant at the time.
Haines, of Butterfield Lane, Brackenfield, Alfreton, pleaded guilty to the assault after the incident on July 9.
Defence solicitor John Wilford said his client stated he had been acting in self-defence until he was on the landing.
Magistrates sentenced Haines to a 12 month community order with a Rehabilitation Activity Requirement and 180 hours of unpaid work.
He was also ordered to pay an £85 victim surcharge.

Taking place in the picturesque setting of Donington Park, the event is set to be a highlight in the musical and social calendar for the region.
The East Midlands’ newest cultural music event was conceived when the beloved Darley Park concert was unable to continue at its location in Derby.
At the new home of Donington Park, many of the standout features of the Darley Park concert will be retained, including the continued importance of East Midlands-based professional orchestra SinfoniaViva and the magnificent finale firework display, while many new elements will be implemented.
On the bill for Donington Live will be the star names mezzo soprano Laura Wright, Britain’s Got Talent winners Collabro and the chart-topping Military Wives Choir, plus, of course, singer and presenter Aled Jones as host.
He will also joining in the concert’s glittering finale.
With over 35,000 music fans descending on to Darley Park last year, the new partnership of Donington Park and Music+Sport presents the opportunity for the event to grow and cater for the whole East Midlands region with Donington’s world-class event infrastructure.
As well as a day of fantastic entertainment, there will be family fun and food for all tastes and budgets available to purchase.
Aled Jones said: “I can’t wait to host Donington Live - the crowds in the East Midlands are always fantastic so I’m looking forward to seeing some familiar faces. It’s set to be a perfect end to the summer for the whole family and it will be great fun joining Collabro, Laura Wright and the Military Wives Choir on the day, ”
Due to the expansion and change of location, the event will now be ticketed.
Tickets are on sale via doningtonlive.co.uk priced at £15, with children under 13 free when accompanied by an adult.

The first opportunity anyone will have to hear any of the songs from Skeleton Tree, will be to watch One More Time With Feeling, directed by Andrew Dominik (Chopper, Killing Them Softly).
The film will be shown in 150 cinemas across the UK and Ireland including QUAD in Derby and Nottingham’s Showcase and Broadway cinemas.
Dominik delves into the tragic backdrop of the writing and recording of the album.
Interwoven throughout the Bad Seeds’ filmed performance of the new album are interviews and footage shot by Dominik, accompanied by Cave’s intermittent narration and improvised rumination.
Filmed in black-and-white and colour, in both 3D and 2D, the result is stark, fragile and raw.
Director Andrew Dominik has issued the very first public statement about working with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds on new 3D black-and-white feature film One More Time With Feeling:
“When Nick approached me about making a film around the recording and performing of the new Bad Seeds album, I’d been seeing quite a lot of him as we rallied around him and his family at the time of his son’s death.
“My immediate response was “Why do you want to do this?” Nick told me that he had some things he needed to say, but he didn’t know who to say them to. The idea of a traditional interview, he said, was simply unfeasible but that he felt a need to let the people who cared about his music understand the basic state of things. It seemed to me that he was trapped somewhere and just needed to do something – anything - to at least give the impression of forward movement.”
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ 16th studio album, Skeleton Tree, will be released globally on vinyl, CD and across all digital platforms on September 9. The album began its journey in late 2014 at Retreat Studios, Brighton, with further sessions at La Frette Studios, France in autumn 2015. The album was mixed at AIR Studios, London in early 2016.

Sadly, that isn’t the case in this day and age. Breeding operations place more emphasis and value on speed than the kind of stamina attributes required to win Doncaster’s historic race. A Champion Stakes or the Arc are more likely to be on the agenda of the top 10f and 12f 3yos, rather than a tilt at the 14f Classic. So there is little chance of revisiting the days when Guineas, Derby or Oaks winners in the mould of Oh So Sharp (1985), Reference Point (1987) and User Friendly (1992) landed the spoils.
However, the Ladbrokes St Leger is still a big deal. It is still the jewel in the crown of a four-day festival ranked among the best in the country. One that will attract more than 65,000 enthusiastic racegoers to Town Moor next week and equate to a £25 million shot in the arm for the Doncaster economy.
It might have become fashionable to knock the race in some snooty quarters. But Leger Day is a day out beyond compare for the many doyens of Donny. And let’s face it, the race is still a Classic, for heaven’s sake. The oldest too, dating back to 1776, and one that still forms the last leg of a Triple Crown, as revered as it elusive.
Who can forget the fervent anticipation of four years ago when the crowds flocked to witness Camelot’s bid to become the first horse since Nijinsky way back in 1970 to land the Guineas/Derby/Leger hat-trick? And equally the burst-balloon-type deflation of Aidan O’Brien’s colt failing.
Who can forget either the high drama of just 12 months ago when the winner, Simple Verse, was controversially disqualified on the day, only to win the race back on appeal, leaving O’Brien, trainer of the runner-up-come-winner-come runner-up, Bondi Beach, with more heartache?
Oh yes, the St Leger continues to give, make no mistake about that. So what might the race have in store this time round?
Not surprisingly, it again revolves around O’Brien, the best trainer in the business. Notwithstanding his disappointments of 2012 and 2015, he has saddled four winners since 2001 when Milan strode to probably the most impressive victory I have seen of the great race. And a week on Saturday, he will send out the red-hot favourite, IDAHO, third in the Derby and winner of York’s Great Voltigeur Stakes, one of the main trials for the Doncaster showpiece.
A class act, the son of Galileo is almost sure to win if he stays the 14f trip. But his pedigree, his style of running and the patient way he is generally ridden instil sufficient doubts to suggest you should cast your net in search of better value.
There is still time for supplementary entries to throw a spanner in the works. But at present, Idaho’s chief rival in the market is MUNTAHAA, trained by another successful patron of the race, John Gosden, who has fielded three winners since 2006. Another not exactly bred to relish the Doncaster distance, he has made rapid improvement this term, culminating in a taking pillar-to-post triumph over 13f at Chester two weeks ago. It was only a Listed handicap, but the son of Dansili had to defy a mammoth mark of 108 against older, more seasoned rivals and also the tight turns of a track far from sure to suit such a big, long-striding colt. He’s a player.
Two horses who were behind Idaho at Epsom, RED VERDON and ALGOMETER, might well get closer faced with an extra 2f, and don’t rule out the favourite’s own stablemate, HOUSESOFPARLIAMENT, reversing Voltigeur placings. He is guaranteed to stay and will relish the galloping expanse of Town Moor. Similar comments apply to a third O’Brien contender, Royal Ascot winner SWORD FIGHTER, while ORMITO is no mug and VENTURA STORM would have to be considered if the ground turned on the Soft side.
It’s a head-scratcher that makes punters grateful the Leger Festival is not all about the main event. Classy, competitive racing abounds on all four days, while the Leger Legends contest on the opening day, featuring past jockeys, continues to delight the crowds and raise valuable money for racing charities in equal measure. Last year, it was won by Tony McCoy no less. This year, two more ex-champions, Richard Hughes and Joseph O’Brien, Aidan’s son, are in the line-up.
Day two on the Thursday is DFS Ladies’ Day, highlighted, appropriately, by a couple of Group races for fillies, the Park Hill Stakes, where Sir Michael Stoute’s ABINGDON will be primed to continue her progression, and the Sceptre Stakes, which has been earmarked by Charlie Hills for his lightly-raced 3yo, JADAAYIL.
The historic Doncaster Cup for stayers is the star attraction on the Friday when PALLASATOR will be a warm fancy to repeat his 2015 success. Vying for the limelight are three crack 2yo contests, including the Flying Scotsman Stakes won so spectacularly by the mighty Frankel six years ago. The 5f Flying Childers Stakes could throw up a thrilling duel between the unbeaten filly MRS DANVERS and Mark Johnston’s YALTA, while the Mallard Handicap on the same day might be a target for Roger Varian’s MONOTYPE.
The supporting card on Leger Day itself includes the Champagne Stakes, one of the leading juvenile heats of the season, in which RIVET and PEACE ENVOY would be interesting, and the 7f Park Stakes, which might yield as striking a winner as last year with NEMORALIA aiming to follow in the footsteps of Limato.
I’m hoping too that there might be openings over the four days for ANOTHER TOUCH, HAGGLE, EL VIP and CARTMELL CLEAVE. If not, best of luck in finding a few winners of your own.
Spectacular autumn schedule ensures the Flat season no longer fizzles out
Autumn is fast approcahing, but gone are the days when the Flat season fizzled out during September and October. On the contrary, next week’s Ladbrokes St Leger Festival at Doncaster is followed by a veritable feast of action across the world to wrap up what has been another compelling campaign on the level. Newmarket’s under-rated three-day Cambridgeshire meeting is swiftly followed by a sensational Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe day in France. Back to Newmarket it is for the two day Future Champions extravaganza. On to Ascot next for the Qipco Champions Day finale, and we haven’t even mentioned the global giants of the Breeders’ Cup in the USA and the Melbourne Cup in Australia. I love Jumps racing as much as the average racing Joe, but I couldn’t even have a National Hunt horse on my mind until late October at the earliest.

Andrew Hodd made his best score for the county while valuable contributions from Azeem Rafiq and Jack Brooks saw them recover from 51-6 to be bowled out for 282 at North Marine Road.
They then reduced the visitors to 38-2 at close to end the day 244 ahead.
With Nottinghamshire captain Chris Read having opted against a toss and chosen to field first, Yorkshire’s openers looked in little trouble until the somewhat fortunate dismissal of Adam Lyth.
The left-hander was left stranded as Steven Mullaney deflected a drive onto the stumps at the non-striker’s end, and his wicket sparked an almighty collapse that saw five more fall for just 30 runs.
Mullaney – who had previously only taken five Championship wickets in 2016 – proved to be the unlikely hero with the ball as he drew edges from both Lees and Jake Lehmann that were taken in the slip cordon.
From the other end Luke Fletcher was rewarded for a tight new ball spell with the wicket of Gary Ballance – who is captaining the Tykes due to a back injury suffered by Andrew Gale – before Mullaney picked up his third as Tim Bresnan offered no shot and was adjudged LBW.
Jack Leaning followed back to the pavilion after hanging a loose bat out to a wide Brett Hutton delivery and edging to Samit Patel at third slip to leave the hosts reeling with half an hour of the morning session to play.
But from there Hodd and Rafiq took over as they put together a partnership of 132 for the seventh wicket, with the latter being the main aggressor as he made an eye-catching 74 from just 92 deliveries with 11 fours just hours after being presented with his county cap by club president John Hampshire.
He was eventually dismissed by the final ball of Patel’s first over, and though Steven Patterson was trapped LBW by Imran Tahir, the Tykes were far from done yet as Brooks looked to tuck into anything loose that an attack shorn of the injured Harry Gurney and Stuart Broad, as well as late England call-up Jake Ball, delivered.
He bludgeoned his way to 48 from 66 balls during a stand of 88 with Hodd before chopping onto his own stumps while looking to cut Hutton away to bring up his fifty.
Ryan Sidebottom then fell victim to the second new ball as Hutton wrapped him on the pads to end the innings on 282 and leave Hodd unbeaten on an excellent 96.
Brooks then helped maintain the momentum as he trapped Jake Libby LBW with his first ball of the visitors’s reply before debutant Tom Moores edged Bresnan’s second ball to Lyth at second slip in the final over. | http://www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/day-one-report-notts-frustrated-by-yorkshire-s-lower-order-1-8084861 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/5c9c4787afba522ec3d9dc57489af1a0fcd38118ab914d022557ac1bb8755fe5.json |

When they return to four day action next Wednesday after a two week break, Derbyshire will be trying to avoid unwanted records in the three games remaining.
They are currently bottom of Division Two and are the only team in the country without a victory in the championship.
Derbyshire last went through a season without a championship victory in 1924 and it is nearly two years since they won a game at home so there is a lot to play for in the next month, starting with the visit of Gloucestershire next week.
Injuries have depleted the seam attack and Shiv Thakor will not play again this season because of a stress fracture in his back but Derbyshire have to find a way to end a disappointing campaign on a high.
Former skipper Wayne Madsen, who passed 1,000 championship runs in the previous game against Essex, admitted: “We only had three seamers so we are a bit light on bowlers but you have to make do with what you’ve got in terms of your attack.
“We have to find a way of taking 20 wickets in order to win games and we haven’t quite got that right yet.
“We are doing everything in our power to make sure we win not just a game but a couple of games this season.
“We’ve got two home games and we haven’t won a game at home for a while so we have to make sure our performances are improving and we have to find a way to take 20 wickets.”
Madsen was the first player in Division Two to score 1,000 runs but recognises the most important statistic is what is in the wins column.
“It’s very special and it’s an accolade but at the end of the day, I would love to be winning more games of cricket. So yes, it’s great and it means a lot but I want to be winning so, for me, it’s about helping this team to win games and be more consistent and there’s a lot of work to do in that respect. As a team we have to improve.”
Madsen will have a benefit in 2017 when he and Derbyshire will hope for a much more productive season.
“I feel very honoured and privileged to be awarded a benefit and it’s going to be an exciting year and for me, I’d like to make it a good year on and off the field and that means turning the results around and winning more games.” | http://www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/news/derbyshire-ccc-aiming-to-finally-win-a-championship-game-1-8089747 | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/f99797f289b545f43bfafc000056d8c22d0e1dff9e2aa99417e9080aa4672e55.json |

Ilkeston Outlaws Basketball Club, formerly the Old Houghtonian Hawks, will commemorate the milestone across the weekend of September 10-11.
The matches will take place on the Saturday in Kirk Hallam followed by a ticketed event at the Seven Oaks Pub in Stanton on the Sunday from 3pm.
Former player Bob Prati was one of the group of school kids who first played for the club half a century ago and helped organise the anniversary.
He said: “I’m very much looking forward to the anniversary. It’ll be great to see people who I’ve not seen in 20 years or more and trade stories of our playing days.
“I’ve donated some of my old kits so there will be seven sets of kits on display, all with the number nine on - which was my number when I played.”
The club was formed in 1966 with the majority of its players made up of pupils from the Blessed John Houghton RC School in Kirk Hallam.
Woodwork teacher Paul Booth played a significant part in getting the players together, training and setting up the club before its first game.
They would go on to lose that first game by a considerable margin - 121-14 - against Bestwood A in a game that lives long in Prati’s memory.
“It was a difficult first game,” he said. “They were a very good side who had dropped down in the second division because they’d changed their name.
“We were two clubs at different stages. They had nice kits and we were in our handmade tops that my mum coloured and cut the numbers out for.
“We were not quite 15 and we were going up against seasoned national players. We were completely out-played. They were bigger, stronger, faster.
“I did not get a single point. We lost heavily in the next game too but towards the end of that first season we won two or three games and got more into it.
“The next season we finished half-way up the table. We had a good feed of players coming through from the school where Paul Booth was still working.
“Before we knew it we had two teams and the club continued to grow and grow. It now has several teams from many different age groups and hundreds of players.”
Prati, now 65 and residing in Stapleford, is Italian-born and lived in Kirk Hallam from the age of three and was first drawn to the sport by the Harlem Globetrotters.
“I was also quite tall for my age,” he said. “I thought this was the sport for me. I was 5ft 8in at the age of 14 but didn’t grow much more.
“I was a quick player with a decent shot and we used to hit teams on the break. I finished top scorer in one season when I averaged 36 points a game.
“I played for 31 years and stopped when I was 46 after a nasty knuckle injury. There’s a player who joined in our second season that’s still playing now.”
Prati’s team won Division Three and got to the final of the Sherwood Shield but counts a cup match against a USA Air Force base as one of his fondest memories.
“They had some superb basketball players and I think the final score was 90-60 to them - but I scored 50 of our points. It was just one of those days that went my way.
“I won’t forget that day. It was superb. The match was good but the occasion around it was something I’ll remember. It was such a happy occasion for everyone,” he said.
The club now has grown to more than 100 members with U12s, U14s, U16s, U18s teams as well as three senior men sides and senior women’s team that play in Maid Marion and Leicester League.
Whats more, four players have been successful in securing selection for county squads.
Prati added: “I’m immensely proud of what we have achieved after setting the club up all those years ago. When you think it was only seven of us now there are so many involved.
“Some clubs come and go but this club has kept going and has been a place where people have enjoyed playing the game for the past 50 years and that makes me proud.”

“First of all I want to play at as high a level as I possibly can so it’s great to be able to play and get some qualifications alongside it in case things don’t exactly work out.
“I love football and enjoy teaching and coaching kids in the sport too so it’s something I’m looking forward to.”

The tech giant has confirmed plans for a major media event in San Francisco next Wednesday where it is expected to take the wraps off the newest version of its groundbreaking mobile.
A second-generation iWatch is also expected to be revealed at the event.
Rumours around the iPhone 7’s specifications have been flying around for months. It is expected to be slimmer and lighter than the current iPhone 6S and there is a suggestion it could be waterproof.
Leaked photos also suggest it could do away completely with a headphone jack, replacing the traditional tangle of white wires with wireless Bluetooth-connected headphones.
There is also speculation that the larger 7 Plus will come with a dual-camera system.
It is likely to get a full HD 1080p edge-to-edge screen and a larger battery to keep users online for longer and address criticisms about the longevity of the iPhone 6.
Speculation about processing power has ranged from a dual-core processor like the 6S up to an unlikely hex-core but RAM is expected to remain at 2GB. Whatever the hardware, it’s likely to come with iOS 10 and the variety of functionality upgrades that brings with it.
Pricing is expected to follow Apple’s trend of keeping the cost of new handsets stable so the iPhone 7 will cost around £539 but that’s likely to come with 32GB of storage, a jump over its predecessor’s 16GB. | http://www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/news/local/iphone-7-launch-date-confirmed-and-it-s-soon-1-8096479 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/70f06eb8561c3ce46e51384f56352a7a00da3253747fa7e4d55af2f5bdca4594.json |

Swindon, inspired by Don Rogers, defeated mighty First Division club Arsenal 3-1, humbling the illness-hit Gunners in heavy rain on a mudbath pitch.
Not many football fans do, even those with rose-tinted, nostalgia-laden spectacles like myself, who love a delve back into the past and the ‘good old days’.
Do you remember Bradford City, again from the third tier, making the 2013 final, defeating Premier League Aston Villa in the semi-final before a 5-0 trouncing by Swansea City at Wembley in the final?
No, to be honest, I had also forgotten. Just like I had forgotten that a year later MK Dons defeated a youthful, but still strong, Manchester United in the opening round. I say defeated, but actually they hammered them 4-0!
The reason those giantkillings don’t seem to stay in the memory banks of the neutrals is because the competition has never had the romance and general appeal of the FA Cup.
We might have forgotten Swindon’s 1969 heroes, but I bet, like me, that many of you will recall the day non-league Hereford United, for example, knocked then top-tier, First Division Newcastle United out of the FA Cup.
Ronnie Radford’s screaming 25-yard drive to equalise England international Malcolm McDonald’s late goal lives long in the memory, as does Ricky George’s winner for the minnows.
We may have forgotten already Bradford’s run to the 2013 final, but many more fans will recall Chesterfield’s FA Cup semi-final adventure, even though that was almost 20 years ago.
That is one of the reasons why, reluctantly, I think it might be time for footballing authorities to scrap the League Cup — or whatever it is called these days after it has undergone more regenerations than Dr Who because of sponsorship requirements.
Giving the winners an automatic place in the Champions League, scrapping replays , regionalising the early rounds, scrapping the two-legged opening round — none of the recent changes have made the competition more appealing to the fans, clubs or players.
This year’s competition was seen as even more of an irrelevance by lower league clubs because of the changes to the EFL Trophy and the addition of two more matches into the football calendar.
No wonder so many managers ‘experimented’ with their team selections for the matches. No wonder there were so many empty seats in the stands up and down the country — for example, just 1,400 watched Chesterfield lose at Rochdale.
If the clubs and players are not going to treat the League Cup as a major priority than why will the fans?
Even the final no longer has top billing on the day it is held as it vies for TV coverage with the Premier League.
I know that traditionalists — like I usually am — will scream foul. I know it gives some lower league clubs the chance to topple ‘the big boys’ or go to grounds that they would normally not get the chance to visit.
For example, in this year’s second round League Two Accrington Stanley toppled Premier League Burnley and League One Gillingham won at top-tier Watford.
And in the first round Stevenage from League Two went to Championship Ipswich and won, while Cambridge — also from the fourth level of English football — pulled off a surprise by toppling Sheffield Wednesday from two leagues higher.
Not to mention Luton Town’s fightback to continue Aston Villa’s slide from the Premier League to Championship mediocrity.
As a Mansfield Town fan and reporter back in the 1980s I was lucky enough to go to Stamford Bridge, for example, as the Stags held the stars of the then First Division 2-2 at home and then lost 2-0 in London. No disgrace, a great evening out and great memories — for players, the club and fans alike.
So I fully appreciate the excitement that this competition can bring.
But in these days of an ever-expanding football schedule — and the opportunity for fans to watch the topsclubs live every weekend via their television screens — not to mention the cost of leisure activities in general, perhaps it is time to end the competition and let the FA Cup have an even greater focus.
The FA Cup is fighting hard for relevance and exposure as the Premier League sweeps all before it.
Scrapping the League Cup might give it a boost as well as allowing lower league clubs a little breathing space in the hectic list of matches now added to by the minimum three games in the EFL Trophy. | http://www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/news/opinion-scrapping-league-cup-would-give-clubs-breathing-space-1-8089870 | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/4bae13978a970fc55b073dd458aae0831807f6c8c3d305b17de95e0f9d14338c.json |

Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on Wednesday, August 24, how Martin Claridge, 32, of Morley Close, Heanor, up-turned the table and a fruit bowl was smashed and his partner Kirsty Allen was injured.
Prosecuting solicitor Rod Chapman told a previous court hearing that Ms Allen had returned home and there was an argument and Claridge up-turned a glass-topped dining table with a fruit bowl which was smashed.
Mr Chapman added that a shard of glass struck the complainant leaving a two centimetre long laceration.
Ms Allen phoned her mother and her mother phoned the police, according to Mr Chapman.
Claridge also visited Ms Allen’s work on the following day where he grabbed her by the arm and followed her, according to Mr Chapman.
The defendant pleaded guilty to two counts of assault which were committed on July 9 and July 10 in Ripley.
Defence solicitor David Gittins said the day after the first assault Claridge went looking for the complainant and spoke to her because he wanted to apologise and he grabbed her because he was trying to hug her.
Magistrates sentenced Claridge to a 12 month community order with a Rehabilitation Activity Requirement.
He was also ordered to complete 180 hours of unpaid work and must pay £100 compensation, an £85 victim surcharge and £85 costs.

Starring Blue’s Antony Costa and Lola Saunders of X-Factor fame, Save the Last Dance for Me takes theatregoers on a nostalgic, feelgood journey of song and dance while following the trials and tribulations of two teenage sisters on a summer holiday.
Full of freedom and high spirits, Jennifer and Marie embark on a trip to the seaside for the first time without their parents, meeting a handsome young American who invites them to the local US Air Force base.
Things don’t run smoothly though as the doe-eyed siblings soon realise the complications of inter-racial relationships and that life and love can be much more complicated as it seems.
Costa, part of one of the biggest boy bands of the noughties, was the big draw as Milton, with Saunders, making her theatrical debut, playing the part of brassy Jennifer.
Ex-fishmonger Lola showed exactly why she’s made for a career in theatre as she looked completely at home on stage, wowing the audience with her powerful vocals and soulful tone.
Elizabeth Carter impressed as sweet teen Marie, while Wayne Robinson (Curtis) brought appreciative gasps with a chiselled physique which more than complemented his great singing voice.
The constantly-playing jukebox was a nice touch during scenes providing some background music, while the Lowestoft-themed props provided a colourful British seaside feel to the show.
Rock ‘n’ Roll classics included Elvis’s Viva Las Vegas, Can’t Get Used to Losing You, A Teenager in Love, Please Mr Postman and Save the Last Dance for Me, plus a superb acapella rendition of Sweets for my Sweet.
Save the Last Dance runs until Saturday, August 27. For tickets visit www.trch.co.uk.

Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on Wednesday, August 24, how 24-year-old James Edge, of Queen’s Road, Hodthorpe, had drunk around seven or eight pints of beer before the assault happened.
Rod Chapman, prosecuting, told a previous hearing that Edge and the complainant had been in a relationship for about three years.
Mr Chapman said the reason for the end of the relationship was that the complainant had suffered a miscarriage and that had created difficulties but Edge visited the complainant’s home, on July 17, when he was drunk.
Edge barged through the front door, according to Mr Chapman, and grabbed the complainant and demanded to know who she was seeing.
Mr Chapman added that the complainant was able to phone the police but Edge pulled her by her hair and took and threw the phone at a door causing it to come apart.
Edge told police he had about seven or eight pints of beer and the relationship break-up had been playing on his mind.
He admitted pushing the complainant and taking her phone off her.
Edge pleaded guilty to the assault, which happened in Whitwell.
The court heard the complainant had indicated she did not support the prosecution case.
John Wilford, mitigating, said Edge accepts it was wrong to go around in a drunken state.
Magistrates sentenced Edge to a 12 month community order with a Rehabilitation Activity Requirement and 120 hours of unpaid work.
He was also ordered to pay £85 costs and an £85 victim surcharge.

The graduates and apprentices from the power systems company are working with Viva as part of their training programme to stage the one-off event which is inspired by the traditional village fetes but with a modern twist.
The Sinfonia Viva Derby Summer Fete will include live music, games, food and stalls. A jazz trio from the orchestra will entertain visitors and will also be joined by a wide range of local bands.
The event is free to attend in the Market Place between 12 noon and 4pm and is also supported by the Cathedral Quarter, St Peters Quarter and Derby LIVE.
Funds raised will support Sinfonia Viva’s community work across Derbyshire, which is receiving national awards and recognition – including the Best Event award at last year’s Family Arts Festival.
Amy Williams, finance graduate at Rolls-Royce, who is project leading the event organisation, explained: “The aim of the event is to celebrate the wonderful community of Derby.
“We will be creating a celebratory atmosphere, that represents a very modern take on the village fete which is the most classic of British past times.
“Derby has a huge array of communities and artistic interests and we want this to be represented in the food and entertainment on offer throughout the day.”
Debbie Duro, Rolls-Royce Community Investment Manager, said: “As part of the extensive graduate and apprentice training scheme, all trainees are tasked with leading and delivering projects in the community during their first year.
“This enables our trainees to develop important skills such as team work and project management and gives us the opportunity to make a valuable contribution in the local community.”
Sinfonia Viva chief executive, Peter Helps, concluded: “We have always been committed to providing high quality, community-focused entertainment.
“This event has been a great opportunity to work with a team of Rolls-Royce trainees to organise an event offering fantastic family entertainment and a high profile stage for local artists and musicians to showcase their talents.
“We are delighted that our community work will be supported by the event. This includes our award-winning education projects in the city and county that transform young participants’ lives and gives them the chance to learn and perform on stage alongside professional musicians.”

Mr Ledger, who was a popular player who was remembered for his pace and superb passing ability, died on August 19 aged 92 in Nottingham.
The Stapleford-born right winger made his Ilkeston debut against Warsop Working Mens’ Club in August 1948 and went on to play more than 300 times for the club.
He won a number of honours for Ilkeston, including the Central Alliance League four years in row and the Derbyshire Senior Cup.
Ledger joined Derby County during the War but, unable to break into the first team, he tried his luck with Notts County where he scored four goals in 16 Wartime appearances.
He then crossed over the Trent and played 10 times for neighbours Forest, adding a further goal to his collection.
After the War he remained with The Reds until the summer of 1949 despite not making the first team again.
During his time as a Forest player he made a single appearance for Ilkeston at the start of the 1948/49 season although it was a year later before he joined Town on a permanent basis.
Ken is Ilkeston’s fifth all-time top appearance maker and only five Town players have scored a greater number of goals. | http://www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/tributes-paid-to-former-llkeston-derby-county-and-nottingham-forest-player-ken-ledger-1-8090041 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/11d217171559a6599c9d36ec8554b81e44e4413fb82760a001e06f1f7c41351d.json |

Ilkeston lost 2-0 to Ashton United having not played a match of any kind for three weeks due to their suspension from the Northern Premier League, goals in each half from Mark Peers and Jason Gorton doing the damage.
You can read a report on the game HERE
And Holland believes his team will be much more of a threat once their sharpness and momentum returns.
He said: “It was a difficult game. This was an occasion we’d looked forward to but we looked quite rusty after so long without playing, although I don’t want to use that as an excuse for the result.
“We set up with a formation that I thought would cause them problems and had some good chances at 0-0, but the timing of the first goal didn’t help us and the manner of the second goal was disappointing too.
“Anton Brown felt he was fouled whilst shooting in the first-half and the knock to his ankle he took in the process meant he was hampered for the rest of the game, so we’ll have to assess him before Monday. He’ll have a big part to play all season but hasn’t played since the Notts County game so we need to be careful with him.
“Overall it was good to be out there and there are positives we can take from the game. Ashton have started well and are a marker for us in terms of where we want to be, but it won’t happen straight away.”
Holland added that he hopes to have made at least one more signing before next weekend’s trip to Ashby Ivanhoe in the FA Cup, although before that they head to Matlock Town on Bank Holiday Monday. | http://www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/holland-positives-to-take-from-ashton-united-defeat-for-ilkeston-1-8092565 | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/998fb0dc7f63c17a84acba49b027fe5e311f6906104ddb1e1765358211ee80d5.json |

The Cadillac Three - Bury Me In My Boots (Big Machine Records. The Nashville-based country rockers The Cadillac Three cheerfully exploit every redneck cliche in the book as they serve up this raw and gritty celebration of all things Southern. The band’s 2015 single, White Lightning, captures the essence of the trio’s intense and instantly appealing approach to music-making, and newcomers to their refreshingly adult sound would also be well advised to lend an ear to prime cuts such as Slide and This Accent.
Leslie West - Mountain (Repertoire Records). This muscular solo offering from larger-than-life guitarist Leslie West first saw the light of day in 1969 and provided the first vinyl outlet for the band which would go on to become Mountain with the later addition of keyboardist Steve Knight. The contents should be required listening for anyone who professes an interest in the development of the rock genre during the late 60s and early 70s, with Felix Pappalardi’s inventive bass lines underpinning a heavily Cream influenced set boasting classic creations such as Dreams of Milk & Honey, Blood of the Sun and Dylan’s This Wheel’s On Fire.
Vladimir Feltsman - Schumann (Nimbus). This impressive three-CD set finds acclaimed Russian pianist Vladimir Feltsman bringing his instrumental artistry to bear on a broad cross-section of keyboard works penned by one of the leading lights of German Romanticism. The entire recital was captured for posterity during the space of just five days in March 2014, and many of Schumann’s most attractive compositions are given an airing in the process, including Carnaval, Kreisleriana and the deceptively childlike Kinderszenen from 1838.
Asylums - Killer Brain Waves (Cool Thing Records). Southend’s Asylums have been described as “an irresistible cocktail of Lemonheads, Weezer and Sonic Youth,” and echoes of the finest 90s rock certainly permeate Killer Brain Waves, the band’s urgent and well nigh irresistible debut set. Their quirkily memorable material tackles subjects as diverse as austerity and gender equality via an appealing flurry of incandescent melodic hooks, with I’ve Seen Your Face In A Music Magazine and the curiously anthemic Joy In A Small Wage emerging as the pick of an excellent opener.

There were 113 candidates who sat GCSEs at the Long Eaton co-educational independent school this year, with 42.4 per cent of all grades achieved by Trent College students in the top A*-A grade band and 25 students scoring eight or more A*s or As.
Drama scholar Cameron Bovell has progressed from The Elms junior school through its senior school Trent College and will now stay for Sixth Form too
Studious Lucie Gale was the school’s top performer this year with 10A*s and one A and said: “I’m really, really happy and there’s a lot of relief too. I was quite open minded as to how I may do as I thought some of the exams didn’t go as well as they could have so it’s great to find out I’ve got the results I have.
“The school’s always been very supportive in whatever I’ve done, sport, hockey, drama and music too, and in trying to keep all of it balanced while studying for GCSEs. If we missed lessons with hockey we were always given the chance to catch up.”
The school’s overall A*-C pass rate this year is 92 per cent, with 16.7 per cent at the top A* grade. Particularly impressive performances came in further maths, with 14 candidates achieving A*-A grades, while other top performing subjects included German, history, religious studies and latin with A* and A grade percentages all at 60 per cent or above.
Musicians Julia He and Callum Henderson were also amongst those celebrating top marks, both getting the highest A^ grade in Further Maths and an A apiece with Julia adding nine A*s and Callum eight A*s.
Callum Henderson loves that he is able to match his academic and musical aspirations at Trent College
Julia, also an academic scholar, recently returned from playing violin with the Nottingham Youth Orchestra in Prague and she believes Trent College has played a key role in her fulfilling her academic ambitions alongside all of her other interests.
She said: “I was most pleased with my Sciences as I want to go into Medicine and a few universities do take into account your GCSE grades. I really enjoy playing hockey as I’m with my friends and it’s time off from doing really hard academic work.
“I was also lucky enough to be part of the orchestra in the pit for Into The Woods, which was the Main School Musical production. I found out about the Nottingham Youth Orchestra through the music department and have been on tour with the school to Venice too so there are fantastic opportunities here.”
Bill Penty, Head of Trent College, said: “I am delighted by the grades achieved by our pupils this year. So many of our pupils at Trent College also do a huge variety of things at a high level outside of the classroom.
“As these stories testify, all that they have done academically sits alongside some wonderful extra-curricular achievements, which is certainly one of the great strengths of our school. I am very proud of all of them and we are really looking forward to welcoming them back into our Sixth Form here.”
Music scholar Callum, who plays percussion, bass guitar and sings, added: “I like to be jack of all trades, I get bored quite easily, and music is a good way of expressing my creative side. Trent enables me to have very broad horizons and invest my time into lots of different areas. It is a very good music department here, with a lot of facilities, lots of ensembles and all of the staff are really supportive. It really is like a family environment.”
Two of the school’s Head of Houses, Connor Robinson (Kemp House) who got, seven A*s, an A and a B and John Taylor (Owen House), who achieved four A*s and six As were also left reflecting on how their extra-curricular activities have helped support their GCSE achievements.

Chesterfield magistrates court heard how James Parnell, 24, formerly of Gipsy Lane, Old Whittington, Chesterfield, admitted punching Kelsey Darby in the face after she had threatened to throw a cup of water at him to calm him down.
Prosecuting solicitor Rod Chapman told a court hearing earlier this month that Kelsey Darby and Parnell lived together and both stated they have grumpy moods and they were in a bad mood on the morning of July 7.
Mr Chapman added: “An argument started almost immediately as they awoke. Miss Darby threatened to calm the defendant down by throwing a cup of water at him.
“Parnell asked her how she would like it if he threw a cup of water at her and he got the cup and got in her face and he threw his arm and made contact with her face.”
Parnell told police he had snapped and had hit his partner with his fist maybe twice to the face.
The defendant, who moved to Codnor Drive, Newbold, Chesterfield, pleaded guilty to assault after the incident on July 7.
Defence solicitor John Wilford had said that both the defendant and the complainant had previously been referred to a domestic violence support team after they had both received a caution from a previous incident.
He added that they did not visit the support team which Parnell now regrets.
Magistrates sentenced Parnell on August 24 after considering a probation report.
He was given a 12 month community order with a Building Better Relationships programme and a Rehabilitation Activity Requirement.
Magistrates also sentenced Parnell to 180 hours of unpaid work and ordered him to pay £85 costs and an £85 victim surcharge.

In a long forgotten but prestigious six-a-side tournament | null | null | www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk | Can you remember the last time Nottingham Forest beat Manchester United in a final?
Or do you recall the time Eric Cantona played for Sheffield Wednesday?
The Guinness Soccer six tournament was an annual competition that the country’s elite took very seriously indeed.
Fellow forest fans will remember this with fondness (those old enough), because we were consecutive finalists, in both 1987 and 1988.
For the record; Cantona featured in the competition whilst on a trial, at Sheffield Wednesday.
Former Forest legend Trevor Francis allowed the Frenchman to move on to Leeds United without signing him up. (Wonder whatever happened to him?)
The G-Mex arena in Manchester played host to the event and the crowds were healthy, having began back in 1981 it had gained some serious momentum by the time Forest lifted the trophy.
The Reds were crowned champions in 1987, after a nervy encounter with Man united, who were technically on home soil.
United had fielded a host of first team regulars as did pretty much everyone else, with the exception of Coventry who played David Speedie in goal!
Forest and Man United couldn’t be separated during normal time in that final, but we took the honours via a penalty shootout.
Tommy Gaynor calmly slotted home the winning kick to elevate himself into pub quiz folklore.
The winning team photo consisted of the following players; Steve Sutton, Nigel Clough, Calvin Plummer, Neil Webb, Colin Foster, Stuart Pearce, Gary Charles, Darren Wassall and of course, Gaynor.
Considering that this all took place in mid season, December in fact, it is all the more remarkable that Forest went on to finish third in the top flight that same season. An accolade that would see you into the
Champions League today!
Could you imagine the likes of Sergio Aguero, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Eden Hazard turning out for their respective clubs, to play six-a-side, on a cold night in Manchester? Me neither but it does make a mockery
of the “over play and tiredness” gripes that reverberate from the mouth of the Premier League lion.
Such was the momentum of Soccer six, the following year 1988, every top flight club took part as well as a little club from the second division called Manchester City.
Forest once again passed their way through their opposition and progressed to the final.
When you think how Brian Clough had them playing on muddy fields back then, it was no surprise that the likes of Clough junior and Webb were untouchable on the Astro-turf.
FA cup holders Wimbledon were notable victims of the Forest fire power, the long ball specialists were well out of their comfort zone and were beaten 4-1.
Once again though, the likes of Vinnie Jones, John Scales and Dennis Wise were all in attendance.
Forest then sneaked past Norwich City to set up a second, consecutive final against Charlton Athletic.
Another thing to remember here is the tournament was played over a couple of days too. Not just your average competition at Power League followed by a session in the bar.
Forest’s side had only changed slightly from the previous year; Des Walker, Terry Wilson, Franz Carr and Brian Laws had entered the fray this time out. Such was the consistency of Clough’s philosophy;
whoever came in would play to feet at all times.
When the holders took on Charlton in their second final, you could just feel the determination of the London club and their vhairman, who was on the sidelines, shouting support. Again; could you imagine
Roman Abramovich doing that, down at the G-Mex?
In truth, Charlton outplayed Forest that night and fully deserved their silverware. They took a deserved lead through Peter Shirtliff and it wasn’t until the dying seconds of the half that Franz Carr drew us level.
The second period again belonged to the Addicks and they were rewarded with a fine winner by Paul Mortimer. The celebrations from the Londoners were something to behold, you could see that it really
meant something; the kind of attitude long gone in this country.
Worth noting too, was the £50,000 prize money for the winners; to Charlton this equated to triple the gate receipts of their recant league tie with Forest.
Ironically, Forest went on to lift the League Cup that same season and celebrated with similar elation.
How many clubs even field anything close to a full strength side in that competition these days?
Football and footballers have changed, so too have the fans to an extent.
But, looking back on the crazy days of The Guinness Soccer Six it fills me with great pride; knowing that any time I paid my hard earned cash to watch my heroes, they’d put in a shift, no matter what competition it was. | http://www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/blog-when-did-forest-last-beat-manchester-united-in-a-final-in-a-long-forgotten-but-prestigious-six-a-side-tournament-1-8085770 | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/6bbda37d3ae6be3ddbd159ee56bd53e7f639f054c2e905fc2e39f6fefcf3b24f.json |
