4 CONTENTS 

Welcome to the April 2021 edition of The Barlborough, 

Clowne & Renishaw Doorsteppa. 

We are absolutely delighted to be back! We’ve all 

experienced a winter like no other, and now the better 

weather and (fingers crossed) better times are ahead 

of us.. 

Local events are slowly returning to the community and 

we aim to include plenty of upcoming activities as the 

months progress. 

Many people will recall the Channel 5 show ‘Skin A & E’. 

They are now looking for more participants for their 

second series! Details of how to apply can be found in 

our Notices Section on page 23. There’s also an update 

on the Clowne Gala held annually at Heritage High 

School, as well as details of getting involved with local 

litter picks. 

In our Monthly Focus in this edition, we point our 

attention towards the origins of April Fools, and also 

look at International Jazz Day which is April 30. Check 

out page 15 for more. 

We have news that Killamarsh Sports Centre is set to be 

given a new lease of life. £1m is to be invested to 

improve the facility. See more info in our Council News 

on page 27. 

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of our local 

contributors, advertisers, distributors and of course our 

loyal readers. These recent months have been difficult 

for everyone but we are delighted to be back! 

For any company, trade, or individual thinking of giving 

your service a boost - please consider our affordable yet 

effective way to reach customers throughout this and 

many other areas. Do not hesitate to get in touch and 

give us a try. 

Finally, if you would like a community/non-profit event 

to be listed for free in May’s edition, please email 

thedoorsteppa@gmail.com. All we ask is that you 

provide exact wording before our deadline, and space 

permitting, we will be happy to include the details. 

Have a fantastic month!

15 MONTHLY FOCUS 

April Fool! 

The origins of April Fools’ Day are lost way back in 

time but like many traditions it probably has a 

number of historical roots. 

There was certainly a Roman festival called Hilaria 

which took place around the time of the spring 

equinox. There was also a Medieval ‘Feast of Fools’ 

although that took place at the beginning of the 

year. Throughout history there seems to be a 

tradition of transgressing boundaries during such 

celebrations: whether male and female, low class 

and high class, religious piety and impiety, people 

have enjoyed straddling society’s boundaries. 

The most popular theory about the ‘modern’ April 

Fools’ Day is that it began to take shape in late 16th 

century France. At that time, there was a switch to 

the Gregorian Calendar under Charles IX. Prior to 

this there had been a New Year’s week (March 

25th-April1st), and under the Gregorian system, 

New Year’s Day fell on January 1st. 

As with any change there was some resistance, and 

many people stubbornly refused to accept the new 

system, continuing to celebrate New Year on 

April 1st. 

These people were ridiculed and labelled ‘fools’ by 

the general populace and were often the butt of 

jokes and pranks. They were known as poisson 

d’avril, or April fish, possibly because a naïve young 

fish is easily caught. 

Over the years the custom of prank-playing spread 

to the general population and eventually to Britain, 

where schoolboy pranks are still the order of the 

day, so watch out! 

By Tom Hancock 

All that Jazz! 

International Jazz Day brings together schools, artists, 

historians, academics, and jazz enthusiasts all over the 

world to celebrate and learn about jazz. 

Jazz began in the early twentieth century in New Orleans, 

in the U.S. state of Louisiana. The port of New Orleans 

meant the area was a melting pot of different 

nationalities and their musical influences: Spanish folk 

music, French military band music, Ragtime, European 

ballroom dance music, and Blues music all had an impact 

on the birth of Jazz. 

Jazz wasn’t written down in 

the same way as classical 

music; the styles and tunes 

evolved as they were 

passed on by ear. Black 

musicians in particular, 

were for the most part not classically trained, and began 

to express themselves through jazz. These musically agile 

instrumentalists and singers improvised around a main 

melody, often the popular folk and blues tunes of the 

era, creating a rich and exciting new blend of sound. 

International Jazz Day - April 30th 

Although the ‘Jazz Age’ was in the 1920s, jazz never went 

away, it evolved through various incarnations. Talented 

soloists like Louis Armstrong pushed jazz in the direction 

of virtuosic improvisers, weaving their music around 

each other. Swing was a smoother, more easy-listening 

sound, popularised by the pianist and composer Duke 

Ellington. This was followed in the 40s and 50s by the 

Latin influences of Dizzy Gillespie, who collaborated with 

other musicians to bring jazz into the mainstream. 

Charlie Parker pioneered modern jazz (be-bop) which 

challenged many listeners with its complex 

experimentations in rhythm and harmony. Miles Davis 

on the other hand developed a more gentle, understated 

style. Free jazz ignored all the previous rules and 

constraints on harmony and structure which many 

people disliked. 

During the past 50 years jazz evolution has accelerated 

through jazz fusion – which fuses jazz solos with other 

musical styles - and acid jazz, which draws on soul, funk, 

disco and hip-hop. Well known pioneering acid jazz 

groups include 'Jamiroquai', and ‘The Brand-New 

Heavies'.

19 TAROTSCOPES 

Karen Glazier 

www.karenglaziertarot.co.uk 

ARIES 21 March - 20 April 

Someone, or something, is set to make a huge impact on 

you, heart, mind, body and soul. Not before time! The worst of a 

situation is behind you and the future looks decidedly brighter. On 

the other hand someone is reluctant to relinquish the hold they 

have over you and will continue to control a situation. Walk away. 

It’s not your failure it’s down to your survival. You’ll regroup and 

come back stronger than before. 

LIBRA 24 September - 23 October 

Yet again, you appear to have been right! What a clever 

bunny you are! Sadly, this isn’t the time for sitting back on your 

laurels. You are allowed moments to be, quietly, pleased with 

yourself but there’s still work to be done. Best get on! Continue to 

plan for a brighter financial future ensuring all bases are covered. 

Be balanced, honest and fair in your dealings. Legal matters 

require your full attention to every detail. 

TAURUS 21 April - 21 May 

Time for heartfelt discussions with your other half. Prepare to 

listen as well as talk. This is most important if you’re to traverse a 

new path together and do it harmoniously. It could well be the 

start of something big but it now requires baby steps and a 

strength and determination to succeed. Not everything will be 

plain sailing but, eventually, you come together on the right path 

with your joint goals, clearly, in sight. 

SCORPIO 24 October - 22 November 

Standards and principles! Are you living up to your own or 

those of others? Time to reassess past actions and behaviours. 

It’ll be six of one and half a dozen of the other. As one phase ends 

take some time to catch your breath before moving on to the next 

one. A whole new world is waiting to be explored. Some tears are 

inevitable but you know the steps to take to heal your world. 

GEMINI 22 May - 21 June 

At last! The opportunity to show the world exactly what you’re 

capable of and The Universe will push you down the path to success. 

Obviously, this is going to involve a degree of graft. Nothing you can’t 

handle! Home provides a warm, loving, environment to counter any 

excess demands. Make sure you get plenty of opportunity to spend 

time there. It recharges the batteries, refocuses the mind and 

facilitates a speedy reaction to challenges arising. 

CANCER 22 June - 23 July 

Time spent outdoors blows the cobwebs away and gives 

fresh perspective. There’s a reckoning on it’s way and Karma 

plays a part as you receive your due, for good or bad, for past 

events. You’ll, simply have to accept the outcome. You form a 

very close bond with someone in your life and together you go 

from strength to strength. Mutual support and appreciation bring a 

feeling of contentment not known for some considerable time. 

LEO 24 July - 23 August 

Life is a bit of a struggle with the last person you’d ever 

imagine letting you down. Add to this a degree of tittle tattling over 

your actions and you’d be forgiven for wondering if it’s all worth it! 

It is, so don’t sink to the depths of despair. Good news arrives 

suddenly bringing with it excitement and the need for action. This 

is the news you’ve been waiting for! Professional input provides 

sound advice. 

VIRGO 24 August - 23 September 

How you see yourself and how others perceive you aren’t 

necessarily one and the same. You like to appear as the calm, 

unruffled, soul who can deal with any challenges set before you in a 

balanced, logical, way. Beware! This attitude can come across as 

selfish, dictatorial, and uncaring. Someone needs true compassion 

and understanding. Openly dealing with your own emotions and fears 

may be the only way you don’t lose out. You’re not Superman/woman! 

SAGITTARIUS 23 November - 21 December 

News arrives leading to high end activity so prepare to move 

fast and think on your feet. Two heads are better than one and 

joining forces with another could prove lucrative. It’s the start of a 

new phase and good planning ensures you capitalise on every 

opportunity coming your way. Let go of the past once and for all. 

Don’t let emotions and old scars stop you. Messy situations 

resolve in time. Patience is all. 

CAPRICORN 22 December - 20 January 

Historically, you’ve offered help and support to others and 

been an all-round good egg. Karma now steps in to ensure you 

get your just rewards as you’re in line for an abundance of love 

and gratitude. One man in particular gives you his heart; give him 

yours. Be aware though he can’t make everything in life perfect. 

There may be one issue involving loss or, perhaps, it’s time to 

make new plans and move on. 

AQUARIUS 21 January - 19 February 

You were right!! Whatever it is, potentially around career, 

stand proud. You’ve more than proved your worth and others look 

up to you in admiration. Take the accolades with charm and 

humility and quietly plan your next step. This is no time to rest on 

your laurels. Somewhere, someone tries to bully you. Walk away, 

regroup, and come back stronger than ever. Most of the hard work 

has been completed but there’s more to do. 

PISCES 20 February - 20 March 

News reaches you which requires you to move fast. The 

news may not seem good at first and you could be left feeling 

somewhat despondent. Look closer. The smallest, most 

insignificant, detail could open up a fabulous opportunity. Don’t 

miss it. A course of study is suggested. Maybe it’s time to hone 

your skills and turn a hobby into a lucrative side line or have a 

complete change of career. Either way you benefit financially.

Halfway Litter Pickers 

A big thank you to everyone who has taken part in 

our Sunday morning litter picks over the last few 

weeks. 

We have seen an increase in people wanting to help 

every week since we started and we have managed 

to make a great improvement in a number of areas. 

The small wooded area and paths below Halfway 

Junior School are looking lovely. We have tackled 

the area around the school and also either side of 

the football pitch and the Streetfields area. 

Local children are getting involved which is 

wonderful and we hope this number increases over 

the weeks and months to come. 

23 NOTICES 

Clowne Gala 

The Clowne Gala will not be 

taking place this year. 

The Clowne Gala which is an event held at Heritage 

High School every July has unfortunately had to 

announce that it will not be taking place this year. 

The organisers who put on stalls, activities for all ages, 

and live music every year have said that due to the 

pandemic it is too early to start planning a public 

event. However they are optimistic about the return 

of the Gala in 2022 so keep an eye out for further 

notices. 

We will put together regular updates in ‘The 

Doorsteppa’ so watch this space!! 

If you know of an area around Halfway that needs 

a ‘spring clean’ please get in touch and get 

involved if you have the time! 

You can find the S20/21 Litter Pickers on Facebook 

Hope to see you all soon!!

27 COUNCIL NEWS 

New lease of life for Killamarsh Sports Centre 

Killamarsh Sports Centre is set to be given a new lease of life, after it was agreed 

North East Derbyshire District Council would take over the running of the site 

and invest £1m to improve the facility. 

The investment will lead to extensive refurbishment,* the 

introduction of modern fitness studios and an extended 

gym with the latest equipment. 

Users of NEDDC leisure centres will now have an even 

greater choice of where to keep fit, as the centre will be 

added to the existing leisure portfolio, which includes: 

Dronfield Sports Centre, Eckington Swimming Pool and 

Fitness Centre, and Sharley Park Leisure Centre in Clay 

Cross. 

Cllr Alex Dale, Leader of North East Derbyshire Council, 

said: “We have been working with Killamarsh Parish Council, 

which owns the centre, for the last year to look at ways 

of improving the leisure, health and wellbeing for our 

residents. 

“I’m therefore delighted that following talks between the 

two sides, the parish council has agreed to transfer the 

centre’s operations to us and users will soon be able to 

benefit from investment in the facility, together with our 

many years of experience in running leisure centres and 

all the benefits that brings.” 

Killamarsh Parish Council Chair, Steve Clough, said: “We 

are delighted to have secured major investment by the 

District Council to refurbish our Sports Centre, which not 

only improves the centre for the community, but also 

ensures its long-term sustainability.” 

As well as investing in the building, 

we are also committed to investing in the 

team at Killamarsh. 

The investment will lead to the creation of 

new jobs at the centre, in addition to career 

development and training opportunities for the 

existing leisure centre staff. 

Cllr Mark Foster, NEDDC portfolio holder for HR, 

said: “We are always keen to create new 

employment opportunities in the community and 

to progress our staff and make sure they are kept 

up-to-date with all the training opportunities 

available to them. 

“The past 12 months have been difficult for 

everyone with the leisure sector being hit 

particularly hard. Creating jobs and training 

opportunities in the leisure sector will have a 

positive impact within the community, 

developing staff to reach their full potential.” 

* There will be periods of time when the centre 

will be closed to allow the works to take place. 

Thank you in advance for your patience while 

these improvements are carried out.
