Good Neighbours We all know that Christmas is a time traditionally set aside for families to get together. It can, however, be a lonely time for many people, especially the elderly. So why not be a good neighbour and watch out for elderly neighbours. Just think what a difference we could make if each of us stopped and took time to check on someone’s wellbeing? It can apply to businesses as well. Some go the extra mile with e.g. home deliveries from local shops or just being aware when someone ‘does not seem quite right’ today and taking a helpful interest without appearing nosey. Why not point people in the direction of the lunch groups at the Old Colliery Offices in Kiveton which can help alleviate loneliness by making a new circle of friends. Here are a few ideas, that you might like to try? • Catch up over a cuppa why not drop by with a Christmas card and a box of biscuits. • Casserole! Next time you are preparing a casserole, make extra and take a portion round to a neighbour. It’s an old fashioned gesture that many really appreciate. It also helps ensure they get a nutritious meal, especially if there are few other visitors. On a similar theme, why not invite a neighbour round to share a meal with you and your family? • Shopping can be fun, but also be stressful, especially at busy seasons. So imagine how worrying it might be for an elderly person. Why not suggest taking a neighbour shopping? or even helping them find suitable presents for their relatives. Whilst you ar check if the house is warm enough, there is plenty of food in stock or in warmer months that they are drinking enough fluids. Age UK say that 873,000 people will have little or no contact with others on Christmas Day.

Communitymatters The Magazine for the Community, by the Community
Welcome to our December edition of the Kiveton Park and Wales Community Matters magazine. As you are aware, we recently commemorated the centenary of the end of the Great War. The village paying a very special tribute to all those that fell and in particular to those that either originated from, lived in or worked in the village, with hundreds of individually knitted poppies adorning the four war memorials in the community. A truly magnificent effort by all involved. Our front page for this edition, simply in black and white, with just one red poppy is also dedicated to those all those men, many who were still in their teens who sadly never returned home. The village tribute is featured in pages 14 & 15 If you would like to place an advert, share your news or feature your club, group or society then please give us a call. Or maybe you would like to join our trusty band of volunteers who help bring the magazine to your door. If you think you can help then please get in touch we’d love to hear from you. Finally we would just like to wish everyone a Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year. from everyone at the Kiveton & Wales Community Matters magazine.

Villages to be proud of The past few months have really shown what close, community spirited and ultimately proud villages Kiveton Park and Wales are. Starting with the bonfire night where yet again we saw possibly thousands of adults and children joined together to celebrate what is a tremendous family occasion for the area. A week later saw the culmination of months of hard work from so many involved with village life including school students of all ages to commemorate 100 years since the end of the First World War. It is just as important now as it was then to remember all those who lost their lives from our area in the Great War and other conflicts. Seeing the war memorial in Wales Square and our local churches decorated in a such
a poignant and respectful manner, we know rightly, made so many residents feel very proud to live here and thankful to the people who made this all happen. It certainly reminded people what is important in life. On a much different note we were pleased that a large section of Wales Road was resurfaced, and we are working hard to ensure the Council commits to resurfacing other large
sections, likely to be Station Road next year. We won’t stop lobbying the Council until such time as we have seen all the pot-holed areas of the main road fully resurfaced. As we bring another year to a close, we would like to wish all readers a very happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Cllrs Dominic Beck, Gordon Watson and Jenny Whysall

Todwick and Kiveton Pony Rescue Article by Jan Cope.
The last 2 months has been extremely tough here at TAK as we have taken in a further 8 ponies. One Matti (pictured) was given just 48 hours to live but with love and care his health and condition improves by the day. This all made possible by our dedicated volunteers. We were also advised recently to put our 20yr old donkey to sleep but with the dedicated support of Richard And Susan Hulme who sponsor her, she’s now like a 2 yr old and doing realy well. All our work is completely voluntary and we rely on generous donations and fundraising to help feed, home and care for our ponies. Our feed and hay is currently costing us in the region of two hundred pounds a week. This is on top of the cost of micro chipping, passports, three monthly worming and having the ponnies feet done every 8 weeks. We now have our 2019 calender available to purchase featuring our fabulous family of ponies, very kindly put together by Llyod and Maureen Siddall photographers, with local businesses contributing to its publishing. £7.99 each or two for £10. Also Christmas cards, a pound each, or three for two pounds fifty. Again all kindly put together by Llyod Siddall
We are holding a fund raising evening on Friday 21st December at Bondhay golf club starting 6.30pm till 11.30pm Tickets £10 Fancy dress optional, with a pie and pea supper, accompanied by Seventies and eighties music, fantastic raffle prizes including golf for four people at Bondhay. So please come along and supports us. Please visit our website wwwtakponies. org to see what we do, read our success stories, order our fabulous new calendar, order our fundraising evening tickets or just to see how you might be able to help. Visitors and families are always welcome to come and see us. Finally we would just like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one who has donated and who continually donate to the ponies welfare.
Mothers Union Like many groups in Kiveton Park, the Mothers’ Union helped produced some of the many poppies that went towards creating those glorious displays around the village to commemorate a 100 year of the ending of WW1. What a wonderful community project. Well done to all. This year the Mothers’ Union has produced gift bags for Rotherham Rise, a charity based in Rotherham that provides help and support to survivors of domestic abuse and sexual exploitation.
I personally salute and respect all my volunteers, the community and Dave Poucher from the Rotherham advertiser for supporting us. Wishing health and happiness and a Happy Christmas to you all.
Article by Andrea Bennett
We would like to thank many members of our community and members of the Mothers’ Union for donations we have received towards producing the gift bags. These gift bags will be presented at our December meeting, to Jayne from Rotherham Rise. We support Music Tots held every Thursday morning 9:30 – 11:30 at St John’s Room, term time only. Helpers are always required, not sure if you want to come, please pop in and see what happens at this lovely group!
Our meetings are held on the 2nd Monday of the month, at 7.30pm and you are very welcome. Please come along for a chat, a listen to what we do and most of all Friendship.
Please note, we have no meeting in January, our next meeting is 11th February 2019. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2019.

followers to donate towards the cost of housing an AED (Automated External Debfibrillator) at the club. We were contacted by Tom Shaw, Managing Director of Shaw Plant Training Ltd and his wife Caroline, who offered to donate the full amount of ÂŁ500 in order to get the project completed. Tom and Caroline were very keen to help as their son Maxen was born with Congenital Heart Disease and their daughter plays for our U12 girls team. This wonderful gesture is appreciated by all at Kiveton Park Football Club, though we obviously hope to never have to use this potentially life-saving piece of equipment On 13 October the club made a big

NEW COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT At last we have planning permission to build a sports pavilion, community cafe and mining themed play area at the side of the sports pitches on Colliery Road. Now all we have to do is get together the money to build it!! The facility will have changing rooms with toilets for two teams, referees and full disabled facilities. The cafe will accommodate up to 40 people and there will also be an upstairs room with an outdoor viewing platform over the pitches (ideal to hire for parties). The outdoor play area was designed by locals who were children growing up in our mining community and wanted this as a reminder of our mining heritage. 28,000 PEOPLE VISIT THE COMMUNITY WOODLAND & 23,400 PEOPLE USE THE SPORTS FACILITY EACH YEAR SO THE NEED FOR THIS WAS CLEAR. Just like the Astro Turf, we won’t let the grass grow in getting on with the task of raising the funding. This will be a community facility, managed by the Kiveton Park & Wales Community Development Trust on behalf of the community. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT MORE OR LEND A HAND IN ANY WAY PLEASE COME ALONG TO OUR AGM ON 17TH JANUARY 2019 AT 6 PM. WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW VOLUNTEERS AND BOARD MEMBERS

WALES PARISH CHURCH www.walesparishchurch.com
You matter to god - You matter to us On 11th of the 11th month at 11am exactly 100 years on we kept Remembrance Sunday to commemorate the 1918 Armistice. After the ‘Poppy Memorial Trail Quiz’ many more people, especially children, are aware of the memorials in this parish. The spectacular ways they have been decorated in the lovingly crafted poppies symbolize the gratitude and care of our community. The way we worked together as a community has done our men proud. In the last twenty years we have seen attendances at Remembrance ceremonies soar, especially among the young. The parade was a dignified procession in the light rain. The church was packed with people stood outside. Someone said to me that the only occasion the Church might have been fuller on Remembrance Sunday was in 1945. 16 million men from the UK and the commonwealth in World War 1, the war to end all wars, alone. If you talk to me about the slaughter of millions, my mind seizes up. The scale is too enormous to take in. But the poppy banner created by Cate Goodlad and the history society put a human face and name on the cost of war. As we wandered around the church pews the familiar names and stories hung from them brought home the suffering and the dying and the bereavement of individual people with names and homes and loved ones. They lived in the streets were we live, played in the parks where we play and attended the schools where we or our children attend. We stood with them and they stood with us. It was moving to witness so many people slowly wandering around this church and the other sites on both the Saturday and Sunday in solemnity and respect. We looked at the poppies lovingly knitted or sewn or painted by so many in our community, from the CDT Wednesday morning group to our local schools and many organisations and individuals. Each poppy displayed on the 4 war memorials is unique. Each poppy represents a real person. The sparkly poppies in church created by our young remind me of the youth of the soldiers, people like you, some in their teens with so much to live for. When we saw the pictures and read the stories of our local men, just young lads really, we can picture, we can imagine, and the words become flesh and the reality of the loss began to dawn. God suffers in the loss of every human soul, each one cherished by God, each name known to him, each death mattering to him, or might we dare to say diminishing him just as it diminishes us? The cross of Christ ties our human suffering to God’s for eternity. As we lit the Beacon of Hope at Redhill we looked back on a special day when we remembered. God also remembers eternally.
Christmas 2018 what’s happening ? I know the church will look also splendid in the build up to Christmas. What is your Christmas Tree like? Do you have a real one or is it artificial. Do you have colored lights or white lights? Do you have a fairy on the top or an angel or a star? Do you put presents around well before or just on Christmas Eve? The Christmas tree is a perfect symbol to link to Christianity. For starters it’s evergreen and reminds me of the everlasting life promised to us by God if we believe and trust. The lights and star which decorate it remind me of the coming of Emmanuel, which means God is with us, and the light and hope he brings. The presents around the tree remind me that Jesus Christ is a gift of love from God. We will be remembering all of this in our Christmas Family Service 11am Sunday 9th. We have a teenage nativity set presented by Live Wire drama Group. At 11am on Sunday 16th we have our Pop up Nativity Service. Children are encouraged to dress up in tea towels and dressings gowns to share the greatest story ever told. Carols by Candlelight in our ancient house of prayer is the same day at 6pm. On Christmas Eve we have the much loved Christingle’s at 4pm and 5.30pm. Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without them! Also on Christmas Eve we have an evening service at 10pm. On Christmas Day there is a 9.15am Service of Celebration. I hope you’ll ‘follow the star’ to Wales Parish Church as we reflect together on the true meaning of Christmas.

Parish Council
NEWSLETTER
Winter Issue - Dec 2018
CHAIRMAN’S NOTE When I was first elected as chairman of Wales Parish Council I was honoured to read out the names of the fallen from this parish on Remembrance Sunday. It was not an onerous duty; I was not nervous but relished the task. Over the years I have looked at the names more closely and realised that there are names that I actually recognise. With the help of the history society initials have been turned into full names and military awards included. Clarence Elliot was a distant relative on my mother’s side, went to the front on 25th April and was killed in action on the 9th May. Would it be appropriate to say he did not have to suffer the mud and deprivations others did? She told me the names of people she went to school with and that the Bagshaws were excellent tailors. I remember a Mr Lamb who mowed the churchyard in the 1950s with a hand scythe and sickle and from memory made as good a job of it as modern machinery. Derry Baugh was a scout leader with Harold Waite, also in the 1950s – they must be relatives of the fallen. It is not without reason that we say, “Lest we Forget”. Following discussions with Cllr Dominic Beck of Rotherham Borough Council, we are taking steps to nominate the old Kiveton Park Infant School (latterly the Kiveton Youth & Community Centre opposite the current Kiveton Park Infant School) as an asset of community value with RBC. In order to be successful, we must be able to show that there is a possibility of the building being used in the next five years for a purpose which will further the “social wellbeing or social interests of the local community”. The building is owned by RBC and it has been earmarked for possible closure by next April. If the closure goes ahead then the building may be demolished and the land sold for development. However, if RBC accepts our nomination, and the building is listed as an asset of community value, before selling the property RBC must give local community groups the chance to make a bid to buy it on the open market. I ask you – should we pursue this option, yes or no? If yes, what use could we put it to? Have we enough provision with the Old Colliery Offices and village hall? Please let us have your comments and suggestions by email at wales.pc@onetel.net, by telephone on 01909 515784, by letter or by posting your message on our Facebook page, www.facebook. com/Wales-Parish-Council. No verbal comments to councillors in the Co-op or in the street, please – RBC will expect an audit trail of evidence of community need, and this matter needs full and careful consideration. Finally to dispel (hopefully once and for all) the rumour and myth that is circulating Rother Valley Caravan Park is not going to be a 130 caravan traveller site. It’s going to be at Caravan Club standard with access and egress by a number plate recognition system. Only those who have booked and paid will be allowed in on the day(s) for which they have paid. Further information, if needed can be obtained from the park via Ian Dixon on 0114 247 1452 or go to www.rvcp.co.uk.

100 years since the armistice was signed in 1918 signalling the end of the Great War, our community came together to honour the fallen who gave so much so that we can live in peace. On Sunday 11th November, St John’s church was crammed with people; one of our older residents in the village commenting that the church had not been so packed for the Remembrance Day service since 1945! Those who had given their lives in conflict since 1914 were among the congregation; their biographies hung over the backs of the pews and their pictures incorporated into a large poppy banner. The church decorated with poppies and children’s art work looked stunning, and you cannot have missed the similar displays at the Wales Square memorial, the Old Colliery Offices and the Wales Methodist chapel. In total, we estimate that around 9,000 poppies were made; each hand-crafted and painstakingly tied onto netting. The waterfall of poppies coming down from the organ alone had around 3000! A huge thank you to everyone who contributed by making poppies, some individuals making hundreds, but particular mention to the craft group which meet at the Colliery Offices on a Wednesday morning for their dedication in preparing the nets, and members of the history society for help with the installations on what was a bitterly cold day. Thank you to everyone who contributed – I think we did the men proud. Cate Goodlad - Kiveton Park & Wales History Society
“A
Beacon of Hope”
Andy, Paul & Neil
The commemorations on Sunday 11th November concluded with a short service and the lighting of the beacon brazier at Red Hill. An account of the remembrance events over that weekend is contained in another page of the newsletter. However, just a few words about the lighting of the beacon, which was one of over 1000 lit at 7.00pm throughout the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and UK Overseas Territories. We should like to thank everyone who took the time to spare an hour in the evening to mark the hope, symbolised by the lighting of the beacon – the beacon of light, that one day the human race will no longer know the darkness of war. Without people like you, there would be no hope. The preparations for the lighting of the beacon were led by one of our staff, Paul Brookes, assisted by Neil Baxter and Andy Harker of Baxter Technical Services, who gave up their free time to ensure that everything went smoothly on the
16
night. This involved many hours of preparation with a couple of dry runs to ensure that everything would go to plan. Ex-Kiveton man John Wardell and Ben James, the owners of hire company 1 Up Access of Foley Street, S4 7YW, supplied us with a cherry picker free of charge to enable us to access the brazier of the beacon, and Josh Truman of 1 Up Access ensured everything went smoothly on the day. We are grateful for their community spirit; they are an example to us all. Gina G of The Photographic Studio on Station Road took some superb photos of the event for us. If you would like to see them, call in at the Parish Office. The organisers of the national event (Battle’s Over) had suggested that a local dignitary should be invited to light the beacons – persons of distinction with lofty titles and lots of letters after their name. As far as we know, the person we invited to light the beacon has no such title or letters after his name, just plain
Paddy Bass Patrick Bass, but we were delighted when he accepted. Paddy has been sounding the Last Post at Remembrance Sunday events at Wales and neighbouring parishes for over forty years. He grew up at Waverley Avenue and in 1975, as a 14 year old school boy and member of the 11th Rotherham Scout Group based at the St John’s Room, began his long and distinguished service as a bugler at Remembrance Sunday services. This is truly a remarkable achievement, and we are sure you will agree that there was no one better qualified to light our beacon. Thank you, Paddy.
LEST WE FORGET Audrey Barthorpe and Lynda Neenan, assisted by Linda Bainbridge and the tenants of Finningley Lodge, worked hard to create the memorial to the fallen of the Great War. A pie and peas lunch was also organised, with all proceeds going to the British Legion.
WALES BOWLERS’ CLUB After a gap of several years the competitive juices of the members of the Wales Bowlers’ Club have begun to flow again and this year they held singles and doubles matches with the winners having their names engraved on shields donated by us. Match day dawned with clear skies and a fresh breeze. The atmosphere was tense as opponents eyed each other up, assiduously polished the jack and their bowls and carefully scrutinised the condition of the green, looking for a competitive edge. After a series of intense matches, with no quarter asked or given, Geoff Proctor emerged as the winner of the singles matches with Geoff Jennings runner up. Geoff Proctor and John Grayson were declared the winners of the doubles matches. The runners up were Richard Woodhouse and Tommy Brown. Cllr Christine Carswell, chairperson of the Recreation Committee, had the pleasure of awarding the winners their shields. Her late dad was a champion crown green bowls player so she knows a thing or two about bowls and was most impressed by the high standard of play. Now the bloodletting is over, we can all relax until next September when it starts all over again!

“A Dazzling Display”
“A Spectacular Blaze” Well, it came and went; the weather was kind with a crisp, autumn day and a nice clear night. Although not the epic size of last year’s bonfire, the crowd were treated to a spectacular blaze and poor old Guy, with his striking red overalls, was soon consumed by the flames. We should like to thank Stuart Blackwell of Wales High School, who put his considerable creative

talents to good use in making Guy. This year we had beefed up the sound system, courtesy of Force Fusion Pro Audio Ltd, and many of you expressed appreciation that this enhanced the show and was a perfect complement to the display, which was provided as usual by our friends at Reaction Fireworks. The team of Gary, Phil and Dave put on a spectacular show and the whoops
01909 515784
and cheers of the crowd were music to their and our ears. On the recreation ground car park, the traders were busy and everyone was having a good time with fairground rides provided by Michael Whiting’s Amusements, hot chocolate drinks, liquor to slake thirsts provided by Cllrs Fowkes and Shaw with the able assistance
wales.pc@onetel.net
“Fairground Fun” of Tony Fowkes, and scrumptious food, soup and hot drinks provided by the staff of Traditionals, who all went home with grumbling bellies having sold all they had brought. Davina Edmonds ever popular children’s light toys could be seen swishing through the air in the hands of beaming young faces all over the recreation ground. That’s what makes it so worthwhile! Special thanks must be paid to our attendants: Paul Brookes, Steve Chambers, Russell King and Glen Westwood, who worked hard all
day and night building the bonfire, keeping the crowd safe then dismantling the apparatus after the event. And also to Tony Fowkes, who helped with the bonfire then became a barman for the night. He’s bent our ears for years with tales of his multi-tasking skills and now we’re believers! Special thanks must also be paid to Neil Baxter of Baxter Technical Services who gave up his own time to ensure the electrics were spot on for Force Fusion and to John Leaver, who said he would be taking a back seat as Force Fusion had the gig
but was there on the night helping and assisting with the PA duties. His irrepressible good humour and community-mindedness is infectious and we should like to express publicly our thanks for his hard work and dedication to making sure everyone had a good time at our bonfire nights over the last three years. As ever, if you have any ideas or suggestions for improving the event let the clerk, Richard Waller, know. See you next year!
SCARECROWS In September Hollie Garforth wrote to us with a suggestion from a number of residents for a scarecrow competition and invited councillors to judge the winner. Naturally, we were honoured to accept and Cllrs Brabbs, D Carswell, Marshall and Martin were given the task. Twenty-nine creative, imaginative and eye-catching scarecrows popped up at locations throughout the village and were proof if any were needed that the “community spirit” is alive and kicking in Kiveton Park & Wales. The councillors were bowled over by the very high standard of the entries. The Gruffalo was judged the winner with commendable mentions for Recycle Michael, Room on The Broom, Captain Black Beard and The Old Uns. Well done to everyone who took part. You brightened up everyone’s day.

Kiveton Community Woodland By Tom Marshall
The trees have dropped their leaves, and the days are short and cold. Even in the depths of winter, Kiveton Community Woodland remains as active as ever. The area is owned by the Land Trust, and managed by The Conservation Volunteers, with help from a team of dedicated and enthusiastic ‘Green Gym’ volunteers. Over the past few months, the
.
PU
RVEY OR S O F
volunteers have been opening up the site. By removing fences and softening tree lines, they have created new habitats, and made the woodland look more inviting. September and October saw the return of the Land Trust’s ‘Green Angels’ Environmental Education course. Attendees learned all about planning and running outdoor activities for children. Pupils from Kiveton Park
Infants came out and enjoyed forest school activities, including bug hunting and creating wild art. This FREE course will be running again next summer. In October, Volunteers walked to Thorpe Salvin, following the Chesterfield canal. They learned about foraging, and tested tasty wild jams, jellies, syrups, and other treats along the way. In October, employees from the Royal Bank of Scotland worked to improve the ponds and waterways on the North side of the pit top. Removing large areas of overgrown reeds, creating more diverse freshwater habitats. If you go for a walk in the next few weeks, look out for a special tree. Children from Kiveton Park Infants will again be decorating their very own Christmas tree. Bringing a little festive cheer to the woodland, in what has become a winter tradition. If you have any queries about the community woodland, volunteering and training, or upcoming events, please contact The Conservation Volunteers: southyorkshire@tcv.org.uk tel: 01302 388832

Another successful Golfing year The last two events of this year took place with a slight twist, the penultimate day out at Grange Park near Scunthorpe restricts selection for a much reduced bag of clubs. This is called the 5 club challenge (where normally up to 14 clubs can be used), and this makes for a very interesting round of golf due to the obvious limitations, and many shots are of an improvised nature as you can imagine. There is one advantage though in that the golf bag is much lighter than normal! The last competition, the “Turkey Stableford” held at the beginning of December takes place as an event that requires the participating members of the society on the day to abandon their fashionable golf attire and wear Christmas jumpers, and also Christmas hats if they wish to. The vast majority take part with good spirit, but occasionally there is the odd one or two that buck the trend and “humbug” comes to mind illustrated by the photo!
The end of another successful season for Waleswood SCC (Charity Cricket Club) both on and off the field. Many teams in the Local leagues found it difficult to field teams with 11 players as the decline in interest in cricket continues especially as the football season seems to get longer and longer. We were not immune to this but completed all our games and credit must go to our 3 captains for working together to fulfil our commitments, a real club effort.
Festive fun with the Saxon golf society Article by Paul Joynes
Following on from the golf. the presentation night is always held in the Saxon where all the trophies, shields and prize money gets presented to those who have been successful (or lucky in some cases-Des Newbold had a hole in 1 in June at a course in Bridlington, which cost him quite a few whiskys!) For an additional bit of fun there is also a “secret santa” where sometimes a few really useful presents have been carefully wrapped up, but there are also some that are quite odd and bizarre! It’s all in the luck of the one you pick. So it’s just left to me to say a big thank
you to the rest of the committee for all their hard work, and all the members who have made this year another success. I will be booking courses for 2019 days out and will be providing all the relevant details of these at the AGM in February. The AGM will be held on the first Sunday in February, any new members who would like to join can come along to the first full meeting held on the first Sunday in March 2019 in the Saxon at 7pm, in what will be the our 34th year. Best wishes for the festive season, and may there be some golf gifts amongst your Christmas pressies!
In the Saturday Bassetlaw League the 1st team finished mid table in Div2 and the 2nd team after a poor start turned things round to go on an unbeaten run that culminated in finishing runners up in Div5 to make it back to back promotions.
We are always open to new players joining this friendly, forward looking club and if interested please contact any of the people named below and they will advise you.
In the Mansfield league our Div 2 north team finished mid-table with 2 players winning a number of awards. On the non-playing side we supported Todwick Cricket Club in holding a fund raising day at WSCC in memory of Alex Beck at which substantial funds were raised for two deserving charities and thanks to all the volunteers and players who made it a fantastic day the highlight being a “Fly over by a Lancaster Bomber”. Both clubs are hoping to make this an annual event. A massive thanks to our volunteer ground and pavilion staff for all the hard work they do not only in the season but all year round.

RANDOM RECOLLECTIONS OF DAVE FROGGATT
CHRISTMAS
One of the highlights of my childhood Christmas was the ritual of “gooin’ rahnd wit’ Tup,”- a Derbyshire tradition. Weeks were spent in preparation – cupboards ransacked, jumble sales combed for the required clothes – top hat/bowler, dress, bonnet etc. The characters of ‘Mester’, ‘Sally’, Butcher and Owd Tup being performed by lads dressed in an old, large coat, top hat, striped apron, frock and with brushes for the Tup’s head. When the night came, faces were blackened and round the houses we’d go, expecting a donation, mince pie or drink at each house. Here is how it went: DIALOGUE (Mester and Sally) Here comes me and our owd lass, short er money and short er brass, pay for a pint and let’s all sup and then we’ll act our Jolly Owd Tup. SING : “ We have a little Tup, sir, comes knocking on your door, And if you let us in Sir, we’ll please you all the more, Poor owd Tup, Poor owd Tup. “As I was going to market upon a market day, I met the finest Tup, Sir, that ever was fed on hay, Poor old Tup, poor old Tup. DIALOGUE Mester: “Sally, Sally, is there a butcher in this town?” Sally: “Ah, me Uncle Bill’s a blacksmith!” Mester: “We want a butcher, not a blacksmith yer silly block – eead.” ENTER BUTCHER: “Here I am a Jolly Butcher, what’s to be done?”
Mester: “Kill this Tup” Butcher: “Wheer shall ah stick him?” Mester: “What, been a butcher all these years an’ don’t know where to stick him? Head, Sir; neck ,Sir, up the rump, Sir.” Butcher: “Put thi hands o’er his eyes. (Sally puts her hands on the Tup’s rear) Mester: “Them’s not his eyes yer silly blockheead, put thi hands o’er his eyes”. (Sally does so and the Butcher kills the Tup who ‘dies’ noisily) ALL SING: “The Butcher has killed the Tup, Sir, in danger of his life, he’s up to the knees in blood, Sir, for want of a longer knife, Poor Owd Tup, Poor Owd Tup.” “The horns that grew on the Tup, Sir, they grew so mighty high, that every time he nods his head they scrape the bright blue sky, Poor Owd Tup, Poor Owd Tup. “
“The wool that grew on the Tup, Sir, it grew so mighty high, the ravens built their nest in it, I heard the young uns cry, Poor Owd Tup, Poor Owd Tup.” “All the lads in Derby came begging for his eyes, to kick them up and down the street, for they were football size, Poor Owd Tup, Poor Owd Tup.” “All the women in Derby came begging for his ears, to make them leather aprons to last them forty years, Poor Owd Tup, Poor Owd Tup.” “All the men in Derby came begging for his tail, to ring St. George’s passing bell that hung in Derby jail, Poor Owd Tup, Poor Owd Tup.” “And now our song is ended, we have no more to say, so please to give us a Christmas box, and let us on our way, Poor Owd Tup, Poor Owd Tup.”
