Secretary of the Meeting: Kevin Stannard 82a Station Road, Mickleover, Derby DE3 9GJ Tel 0777 1612 789 WELCOME TO THE 90TH BEMROSE TROPHY TRIAL So at last we have reached the 90th year of this auspicious event, first run in 1921 by the Derby and District Motor club, and at that time starting in the centre of Derby. With interruptions due to the 2nd World War and the foot and mouth outbreaks, 98 years later we once again find ourselves in the Peak District looking forwards to another challenging event. Hopefully the weather will be kind to us this year, as it has not always done so in the past. As in many recent years we have yet again been favoured with a full entry of 160 riders all eager to have a go at winning one of our famous trophies, which hopefully you will see on display at the start area this year. Over the years we have seen many names famous in the trials world competing for these prestigious and beautiful trophies. Just to mention the Bemrose Trophy itself, a certain Mr SH Miller won it in 1959, 1961, 64, 65 and 67! Gordon Jackson won it in 1955 and 1957. And our famous local “lad” Mick Andrews won it in 1962, 69, 74, 75, 76, 80 and 1981, what a span of years ! In the start area you will also find other historic memorabilia including a blue folder which lists the winners of all our trophies up until the 80th occasion the event was run. (Yes, we need to bring it up to date!) We are always interested in adding to our collection of Bemrose related memorabilia, so if you have anything you could copy or photograph please let us know. The route this year follows the course which has become traditional over the past few years, including famous old favourites such as Kid Tor, Etches, Booth Edge, Manor Steps and Hawks Nest. Unfortunately we are not able to use Staden this year, but we do have the new groups first used last year at Dowell and Hollins Hill. We are constantly looking to add new groups and hopefully next year we will be adding something very special, but you will just have to wait and see!! As always please respect the countryside, close all gates and slow down for walkers and horse riders. Please only re-fuel at the start area and the designated point near Hawks Nest. Well, I hope all riders, spectators and officials have a truly enjoyable day and come to see us again next year, next stop 100 years !! Secretary of the Meeting: Kev Stannard WASHGATES - IMPORTANT As many of you will know, the Washgates track has a Traffic Restriction Order (TRO) in force on it: the Bemrose has special exemption to use it today from the Peak District National Park Authority. That exemption is subject to certain conditions that must be followed or we will potentially lose that permission for the future, permission which was hard fought for. The conditions relate to potential threats to the environment (There shall be no discharge of oil or petrol or refuelling within 15m of the watercourse) and to bio-diversity (Bikes, boots and riding gear shall be clean of mud and debris). So please be careful, especially there! Also have a look at http://www.nonnativespecies.org/checkcleandry/biosecurity-for-everyone.cfm FINAL INSTRUCTIONS ALL RIDERS MUST SIGN ON AT THE START AND SIGN OFF AT THE END OF THE TRIAL Refreshments will be available at the Start / Finish Area ROUTE The start/finish area will be at Haslin Farm (OS map reference 119/SK 066 692 GB grid). Riders will start in numerical order pairs at one-minute intervals from 9:00am. Time penalties as NSC. Competitors will be covered by the ACU blanket insurance scheme. The overall route length is approximately 30 miles and the time limit is 7 hours. All competitors must hand back their riding number at the finish. SCORING This is a STOP ALLOWED trial. Marks will be lost as follows: 0 Clean 1 Footing once 2 Footing twice 3 Footing more than twice 5 Failure 5 When requested by a rider rather than attempt the section 10 Not attempting a section when called upon by an official (in addition to any marks subsequently lost in that section) 10 For missing a section SECTION MARKING The harder/Bemrose route will use Orange bibs and follow red/right and blue/left section markers. The easier route will use White bibs and will follow their alternative route shown by yellow/left and white/right markers. The 50/50 route will use Green bibs and follow the Easy route unless the section is marked with a 50/50 sign, in which case they do the harder route in that section. ACCESS AND OTHER USERS This event is routed along or across public rights of way. Competitors must exercise caution and reduce speed accordingly near other path users. Be especially careful near horses. Obey all signs and close all gates. SLOW DOWN, STOP AND SWITCH OFF YOUR ENGINE, IF NECESSARY Please do not re-visit sections after the trial. Access is allowed for the event only and visits by unauthorised riders can seriously endanger the prospects of using these areas in future, especially in the Peak District National Park.

JOHN SYMONDS, RICHARD WOOD. 2 JOHN POTTS 9th January 1998, Roger Bryant Roger began by referring to his main source of information on John Potts, the account written by a former member, T.M. Griffiths. who died last year, and to whose memory Roger’s talk was dedicated. John Potts (1791-1841) was the inventor of a method of calico printing by the use of copper rollers onto which patterns had been engraved. Born in Manches- ter, he moved to New Mills in 1820 and with his brother, William Wainwright Potts, founded the firm of engravers to calico printers known as Potts, Oliver and Potts at St. George’s Works. John was an artist and a superb engraver, whilst William was more interested in pottery. The latter eventually moved to Burslem to become a pottery manufac- turer, but not before a certain amount of pottery had been made and decorated in New Mills in the upper works (described as a print and pot works as late as 1841).

    Landscape, Heritage and People Key characteristics • An upland landscape characterised by Carboniferous age Millstone Grit with isolated basins of Coal Measures, deeply dissected by streams and rivers, resulting in a ridge-and- valley landscape of distinctive pattern and character. • Isolated gritstone ridges and tors provide a dramatic contrast to the upland landscape, such as at Ramshaw Rocks, The Roaches and Windgather Rocks. • Moorland core with a mosaic of landform, vegetation and wooded cloughs. • Enclosed farmed landscape with a pastoral character created by semi-improved grassland, hay meadows, rushy pastures, more productive farmland and small woodlands. • Rivers Bollin, Churnet, Dane, Dean, Dove, Hamps, Goyt and Manifold, all with their sources in the upland core and some feeding reservoirs as they flow downstream. • Extensive livestock farming (sheep and beef) and grouse shooting Natural Heritage on the moorlands with some dairy farming in the valleys. • Intricate and distinctive field boundary patterns often with historic associations; gritstone walls at higher elevations and hedgerows at lower elevations. • Heritage assets from prehistory to the present, with features particularly from the medieval period and later. • Robust architectural style built predominantly of local stone with stone slate or Staffordshire blue clay tiled roofs, reflecting local geology and history. • Predominantly dispersed settlement across the area. • Moorland area to the north of Leek used for military training; Ministry of Defence management and restricted access add to the isolated character. • Tourism industry and outdoor recreation centred on honeypot sites including Tittesworth and Goyt Valley reservoirs, The Roaches, Ramshaw Rocks and the National Trust’s Lyme Park. • Dramatic series of gritstone edges and tors exposed by a combination of glacial and fluvial action provide distinctive landscape features and a major focus for rock climbing.

  • September 2020
    Footprints Newsletter of the Derbyshire Dales Group of the Ramblers September 2020 Editor: Martin Phillips Nick’s Natterings Nick Stephens (Chairman) In my previous Natterings, I stated “the next few months would be like nothing we’ve experienced before”. Never a true word more spoken. This will be my penultimate Natterings. At the moment and up to publication date there is much uncertainty as to what will be happening with Ramblers by 1st September and beyond. Please keep an eye on our own DDR website for the latest information. Articles elsewhere in this Footprints will be covering the rules and regulations regarding official Ramblers led walks as they currently stand. It’s an ill wind that ...... During lockdown Pat and I have enjoyed our walks across the fields to the Winster shop, appreciating the sunshine, birdsong, lack of overhead planes (and no chattering ramblers following behind!). Having bought essentials, we would stop and chat (at a distance) to Wendy & Cynthia. With no group rambles and our usual folk festivals being cancelled, I’ve been able to get on with lots of outside jobs and start the mammoth task of clearing out my ‘stuff’, as probably a lot of other folk have been doing. Thanks to Lynne France for the obituary on Howard Martin. Older members will remember him on our walks and at our Friday social events. With both of us having worked for the local electricity board, we had a common link and, whenever I was in Ashover, I would visit him. Thanks to Bo Boon for looking after him, especially during his last years of illness.
