W. Harrison We are very sad to have to report that one of the new members of your committee, Peter Robinson, died last March. This was obviously a great loss to his family, and also to his friends, all to whom we extend our heart-felt condolences. Peter had only just commenced his service with the committee and was looking forward to help the Society grow. His loss is our sad loss. Your committee is still struggling to operate as well as we would wish due to a reduction in the number of trustees. There just aren’t enough to carry on the business of the Society properly. This year Charles Baumann has left the committee after many years of service when he undertook various tasks such as chairing lectures, organizing fund raising Flea Markets with me, publicising our events and other ventures as the need arose.

Returning to Saddleworth after five months of being unwell, I look forward to Advent and the Christmas season. There is something powerful about discovering that in times of darkness and the icy winter of the soul the whisper of God’s breath is not absent. The presence of God is more a spark or the subtle flicker of a tiny flame than the glare of fairy lights and Christmas decorations. Through Advent we watch with those who live with darkness; with fear; with anxiety. We watch for the glimpses of God at work and we wait for dawn to break. And as we wait for the shadows to pass Index and the sun to rise we begin to see that the birth of Jesus is but one Page of many manifestations of God. In the gloom we see what God has always been revealing through beauty, colour, music, birdsong; that The Rector writes… 3 God delights in giving himself to us; pouring out his life for us; Portraying the Nativity 4 touching us with his grace. ‘Making a Difference’ 1 4 I have discovered fragility, vulnerability, betrayal and unfathomable #FollowTheStar 5 sadness, yet I have known also the beautiful, mysterious power of Who’s Who 6 love and prayer and friendship.

    Dore and Totley Golf Club's Centenary Year

    TOTLEY INDEPENDENT PUBLISHED CONTINUOUSLY SINCE 1977 www.totleyindependent.co.uk FEBRUARY/MARCH 2013 No. 360 20p. Chapel Fields One of Bob Warburton’s slides. Photo taken from Strawberry Lee Lane with The Cricket in the lower right and Baslow Road running left to right, with Chapel Fields in between. The fields are almost clear of bushes and the sledging run that we enjoyed as youngsters shows beautifully in this colour shot. The challenge was to clear the path and get as far as Needham’s Dyke at the bottom. Great memories. The Cricket was sporting it’s ‘Ward’s Brewery’ livery in those days – probably about 30 years ago. Totley Residents Association Update We had our first meeting of 2013 on Wednesday, January 9th, and were joined by Councillors Colin Ross and Keith Hill. We would like to thank them for their continuing support. Roger Hart also attended and spoke to us about Traffic and Parking Issues; he informed us of The Streets Ahead Roadshow which was held at Abbeydale Sports Club on 15th January. A TRA Committee Member also attended. Our next Farmers’ Market/Spring Fair will take place on Sunday, 17th March 2013 from 11am – 3pm at Totley Rise. We have a very broad Database of Stallholders; however, we are always looking for new ones. If you are interested in being involved, a Booking Form will be available to download from the Totley Independent website, or contact Hetty Moran on [email protected]. If anyone is able to help deliver flyers for this event around the Community please let us know.
