UNDER THE EDGE INCORPORATING THE PARISH MAGAZINE GREAT LONGSTONE, LITTLE LONGSTONE, ROWLAND, HASSOP, MONSAL HEAD, WARDLOW No. 183 April 2014 60P ISSN 1466-8211 St. Giles ‘Panto’ On behalf of all of us who were lucky enough to attend either of the performances of ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour dreamcoat’ at St. Giles, we did not go home disappointed. Everyone involved deserves a huge ‘Thank You’ for all of their efforts in entertaining us so well. The children really entered into the spirit of things, especially when they were really jealous of the favouritism shown to their brother Joseph, by their father, Jacob. I’m sure most of us can remember the story of Joseph from our younger days. Bearing in mind the production was mainly sung, we were ably led through the story by the narrators, Tessa Andrews and Fay Waltho. Joseph was well-played by Ailis McTaggart and they were extremely well supported by the children and the more senior cast members. Frank Hammond as Jacob succeeded in alienating his many children by presenting Joseph with his’ Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat’, not exactly best parental practice! How will we ever forget Potiphar’s wife, played by Father Christopher Benson, best described as a captivating minx, causing trouble for Joseph, so Portiphar played by Ted Frazer-Smith, had him put in jail. The regular female double-act, June Fawcett and Su Woollen were spot on as the Hairy Ishmaelites (don’t ask!), after no-one could decipher Pharoas’ dreams and Joseph correctly predicted what they meant, he was put in charge of organising Photo: Kim Edmonds Narrators Tessa Andrews and Fay Waltho the country’s store of food to cope with the famine that was set to blight the land. Pharoah played by David Beale, in Elvis mode almost stole the show. The costumes were splendid and everyone involved behind the scenes deserve as many congratulations as the cast. Once again Kim Edmonds as director etc! etc! managed to get the production together, coping with the inevitable chaos, and it all came together beautifully. David Beale ‘Pharoah’ in Elvis mode Editorial Team. Great Longstone Methodist Church As a result of the generosity of the late Mrs. Mary Mosley (Molly) we have been able to purchase a Hymnal (a sort of karaoke machine for hymns!) which will be used mainly to provide music for our services and which will enable our faithful and long standing organist Mrs. Kath Skidmore to have a respite. This will be dedicated on 20th April 2014 during our Easter Sunday service commencing at 10.30 a.m. and to which a very warm welcome is extended to everyone. (Full details of all our services are usu- ally to be found on the back page of Un- der the Edge.) Thank you - most grateful.

A further surprise can be found by taking note of their pricing methods. Gone are the extra few pence on the price, due to being a convenience store. Instead, Keith & Sally do their best to sell most things at the lowest possible price, in an effort to not only attract custom, but to reduce the cost of living for as many as possible. to remain in business, but keeping a villageAs Keith shop says, should“We need not to bemake seen a profit as a method of taking every last penny from the customer’s pocket, it should be seen as customer & shop-keeper both serving the community.” Come and Join Us Tideswell and District Bowling Club opened their 2014 outdoor season on Saturday 29th March and like most clubs and organisations we try to recruit new members each year of any age and gender.
