Welcome to theBarlborough,Clowne 

&Renishaw Doorsteppa! 

Hopefully everyone enjoyed the warm weather in June and got 

into that communityspirit during the Jubilee Weekend. Lots of 

you got in touch with stories and pictures of packed events, and 

street parties, and it was great to see people out celebrating 

after the last couple of years we’ve all had to endure. 

We were delighted to meet with local volunteer Michelle 

Taurins recently as she was recognised asaRoyal Platinum 

Champion! Congratulations to Michelle, who has been a 

volunteerfor over 10 years. We got to hear herstory of how the 

award came about. Turn to our Charity section on page 40 for 

all the info. 

There are details of local boy, Charlie, who was diagnosed with 

Muscular DystrophyDuchenne whenhewas 4. His parents best 

friend Nicola Hinchcliffe has set up a Justgiving Page for 

donations aiming to raise funds for awheelchair. This will 

enable Charlie to have arelatively normal day to day life. Please 

see our Community section on Page 34for more on how you 

canhelp. 

It was great to catch up with Andy, the owner at No 4Coffee 

House in Clowne (seeabove). Many locals will remember fondly 

the Toy Shop that was there before and we delve into 

the history ofthe building as well as the positive changes 

Andy and his team have made at No 4. Check out page22for the 

details.

ARIES 21 March -20April 

Beneficialchanges are underway covering more thanone 

aspect of your life. Recent times haveleft you wondering,worrying 

and, sometimes,downright dispirited, but finally you’re facingacalmer 

existence. Nothing’s going to happen atthe snap of your fingers 

however, slowly but surely, situations improve. One event is set to 

ignite your heart withapassionhitherto unknown! Use all thelessons 

lifehas taughtyou recently and all will be well. Enjoy yourself!

TAROTSCOPES 

LIBRA 24 September -23October 

Many choices are placed before you but don’t make any 

hastydecisions regarding acceptance just yet.For now it would be 

better to takeyour timeand ensure you readall thesmall print 

before committing to anything. Don’t allow wishful thinking to take 

over as one offer certainlyisn’tall that it’s cracked up to be. Slow 

and steady wins therace! Exercising patience and being 

methodical in your approach leads to contentment. Eventually! 

TAURUS 21 April -21May 

Prepareyourself as life gains momentum. Communications 

arrive thickand fast and there could be atouchofromance 

surrounding some of them.This is great as there are also 

celebrations in theair. Wherever theinvitation to party arrives from 

be sure to get your glad rags on and enjoy thecamaraderieofthe 

event. Whilst there are no guarantees of ahappy ever after,nor of 

an uneventfuljourney, something wonderful starts here. 

GEMINI 22 May -21June 

You’ve reached the mid-point of an argument which has gone 

on long enough and now needs to be put to bed onceand forall. 

Someone is going to bring all their might to beartoproveapoint 

and you may feel browbeaten. Haveyour saythen move away! 

You’renot conceding anything and time will prove you right but for 

now put your energies into something that, with effort, willbring 

you success. 

SCORPIO 24 October -22November 

More than one situation seemingly in atangle? Fear not; 

you’re more than capable of sorting things out. It’sgoing to needa 

mixtureofpatience, applying your own standards and going with 

what you feel comfortable with, and getting ahelping hand from 

The Universe. What is it you really, and truly, would like? There’s 

agood chance you’llget it now. Have faiththingsare better than 

theyappear and you can prevail. 

SAGITTARIUS 23 November -21December 

Financially errorshavebeenmade; either physically or thoseof 

judgement, and you could now find yourself feeling atad isolated 

and unsure where to go next.Scrutinise accountsand check 

everything; twice!! Someonecould appear to offeryou the world but, 

again, checkthe small print as not everything promised will come to 

fruition.Toensure success make alistand complete one job at a 

timecarefullypayingattention to EVERYminute detail. 

CANCER 22 June -23July 

Time to move away from the past. You’re encouraged to 

make sweeping changes allowing space for new experiences. 

Don’t let fear hold you back but be careful with the decisions you 

make. One opportunity presenting itself isn’t as good as it appears. 

Be prepared to helpothers along your way knowing that your 

efforts willberepaid in your time of need. Balance mind, body, and 

spiritwithrest, good diet,exercise, and mental stimulation. 

LEO 24 July-23 August 

Happiness, joy, and delight, are yours for the taking. Why 

wouldn’t they be? You’ve added your two’ penneth and been 

proven right in more than one situation. Now it’s time to help others 

along their path and othersWILLlook foryourguidance. You’re 

more than capable and your wisdom and judgement know no 

bounds. That said, beware you may feel trapped helping others 

with no concern forwhat makes you tick. You’ve been warned! 

CAPRICORN 22 December -20January 

Career and business again! Contemplate where you are,how 

you got there, anddon’t be afraid to let some things go. The relief 

felt at theirpassing will be welcome. You need to maintain a 

balance between head and heart or perhaps that should be your 

income and expenditure. This isn’t atime for frivolity with hard 

earned cash! New learning will increase thecofferseventually but 

you’ll need to put thetime in first. 

AQUARIUS 21 January -19February 

You may need to balance thefinancesnow so perhaps some 

thought should be given as to how your financial futureisgoing to 

shape up. Aheartfelt conversation holds much promise but it does 

depend on bothparties speaking their truth and listening to the 

responses made. The air is cleared and relief felt all round. Hard 

work and attention to detail elevates your status and gives asolid 

platform from which to grow. 

VIRGO 24 August-23 September 

Nostalgiatakes hold as atripdown memorylane is 

unavoidable. Someone could be out to cause mischief so keep 

your eyes open and your mouth closed. Not everyone is who they 

say they are. However, thereare genuine feelings of good will 

surrounding you and Karmaensures you’rerepaidfor past good 

deeds. From then on move away from the past.It’stime foranew 

start and this time it’s all about you. 

PISCES 20 February -20March 

Using your head rather than your heart is key and getting 

agreements in writing is paramount. Someone provides an 

emotional support network but thepractical stuffisyours. Changes 

around you suggest you’ll be willingtograspthe nettlewith 

determination and move forward. You’ll always help those less 

fortunate asyou know Karma will repay you in time but know 

where to draw theline. Do not let anyone take you for afool!

PROFILE 

When you step into No.4 Coffee House in 

Clowne you can’t help but feel the place 

is a little special. The history of the 

building speaks for itself and the smell of 

greatcoffee will probably make youwant 

to stay awhile. 

The history of No.4 canbetraced backto 

1880 when it was built and opened as J.A. 

Radford’s Grocery Store. Itremained as 

aGrocer and Corn Factors, under the 

ownership of Eastwood and Sons, and 

then M.Carter for several years. The 

original hoist and pulley wheel has been 

saved and can still be seen in No.4’s 

Secret Garden, and the Valor Pump used 

for the sale of paraffinisstill on display in 

the fireplace of thePiano Room. 

local people have fond memories of 

going to Barbara’s shop to get the latest 

toy or game,ortoget their bike repaired. 

It was during 2016 that the building was 

converted into acaféand tearoom which 

opened in 2017. The restoration was 

carried out sympathetically with many 

original featuresleft intact.Visitors today 

can still be served over the original toy 

shopcounter, and can enjoy the historic 

atmosphere created by the original 

floors, fixtures and fittings. The Raleigh 

sign from the bike shop days still hangs 

proudly on the wall near the original 

Rattue ToyShop sign.

Rattue ran itasaMotorcycle Dealership 

and Filling Station but the premises 

becameaRaleigh Bicycle Agent in 1941. 

After Dougie’s death in 1981 the shop 

became a Toy Shop and Bike Repair 

Specialist under the stewardship of 

Dougie’s wife, Barbara, who ran the 

business alone for many years. Lots of 

After being closed for a while No.4

Let’s raise £10,700 to Fund anew wheelchair for Charlie 

which will enable him to carry on doing day to day activities. 

Nicola Hinchcliffeisraising moneytohelp herbestfriends 

sonCharlie, aged 10. 

Local boy, Charlie, was diagnosed with Muscular 

Dystrophy Duchenne when he was 4years old. He now 

requires a wheelchair to enable him to have a normal day 

to daylife. 

His Mum Zoe, Dad Lee, and Sister Heidi, along with their 

extended family work so hard to ensure he experiences 

all thethings thatother children of his agedo. 

The new wheelchair they require will grow with Charlie 

and enable him to use it on all terrains. Off road, sand, 

snow as well as the usual pathways, which means he can 

still continue his day to dayactivities. 

Nicola has setupaJustgivingpage for donations so please 

share far and wide withfamilyand friends:

In this, the year of Her Majesty the 

Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, local 

volunteer Michelle Taurins has been 

awarded aPlatinum Champions Award 

from the RoyalVoluntary Service for her 

outstanding contributions as a 

volunteer.Inhonour of their patron, Her 

Majesty the Queen and the great 

example she has set inher 70 years of 

service, the Royal Volunteer Service 

launched the Awards as part of national 

Jubilee celebrations. Out of over 3,000 

applicants, only 490 were handpicked for 

awards by ajudging panel presided over 

by the Duchess of Cornwall, and there 

were only 3awarded inthe whole of 

Sheffield! 

Here at Doorsteppa we have worked 

with Michelle for some time and it is no 

surprise thatshe wasone of theindividuals 

crowned aPlatinum Champion! This is an 

incredible achievement and to celebrate, 

we met with Michelle at The New Hope 

Community Church on Old Lane in 

Holbrook, where wediscussed her years 

of volunteering, the creation of the New 

Hope CommunityChurchfoodbank, and 

the New Hope Furniture Project. 

For over 10 years, Michelle has travelled 

over 40 miles from her home inNewark 

to help out every day. Michelle shared 

with me that towards the end of 2011, 

she felt Godcalling her to the New Hope 

Community Church. She was self 

employedatthe timeand came on board 

dedicating her time in2012. After just a 

few months, she began to look into how 

feasible it would be to start alocal food 

bank to help those in need inthe community. 

Michelle and her team 

discovered that there was nowhere 

within a6mile radius of the Churchthat 

provided this service to the vulnerable in 

the community. They discovered that 

people locally, who were already in 

need, had to spend over £5.00 to get to 

the nearest food bank. After several 

months of studying different existing 

models set upbyother organisations, 

Michelle took the best practices from 

each and setupasystem distributing 

40 

Local volunteer recognised asaRoyal Platinum Champion 

for her outstanding contributions! 

food to local homes that needed support 

and help. 

Then came the jobofvisiting all the local 

supermarkets, getting donation bins 

installed wherever possible to allow 

shoppers to conveniently donate food 

when shopping. Very quickly, the food 

donations began to come in and the 

Church were able to expand their 

referral base. They made apromise to 

deliver food within 24 hours of referral. 

In order to achieve this, they partnered 

with other churches -Dronfield Oaks, 

EckingtonOaks, Spa View Hackenthorpe, 

and Swallownest Baptist Church. The 

deliveriesarrived on the Monday,goout 

to the respective Churches and it’s then 

distributed to homes within the 24 hour 

window! 

Back then, meetings took place atthe 

Methodist Church inKillamarsh but as 

the organisation and donations grew, it 

was obvious that New Hope needed a 

building of their own. Alady from the 

Co-Op happened to come tovisit and 

mentioned toMichelle that anoption 

may be to look into taking over 

otherwise unused Co-Op buildings. 

Looking at several different places and 

eventually finding the building at Old 

Lane Holbrook in 2015, New Hope 

approached Derbyshire County Council. 

Michelle said, “After several prayers 

outside, we were given the unit we 

wanted!” Painting and refurbishing 

throughout the building, New Hope 

became the destination we know today, 

with both the Charity Shop and Coffee 

Shop openand welcoming to the public. 

In 2015,referrers intothe food bank began 

to ask if New Hope had any furniture 

available. This led to the creation of the 

New Hope Furniture Project. 

Michelle told us, “It all started by going 

into Center Parcs once a year. They 

refurbish on average 69units annually 

and wewere given access to go in and 

take anything that wethought would be 

useful. We now also receive many kind 

donations. Working by referral and 

under direction from front-line care 

professionals, we will provide free of 

charge ‘house-packs’ including beds, 

wardrobes, dining table and chairs, 

microwave, and other essential household 

items which are required to reduce need, 

hardship or distress, helping to turn a 

house into ahome.” These packs go outto 

the homeless getting their first home, and 

peoplefleeing domestic violence. 

Michelle is avery warmand modestlady 

and just before Ileft she said, “I want to 

emphasise that this award was given to 

me but it’sfor allthe volunteershere.I’m 

only as good as my team and they all go 

above and beyond on adaily basis.Ilove 

what Ido. There is nothing better than 

giving and helping people who need it. 

Meeting people at their point of crisis 

andmaking adifference -it’saprivilege!” 

Congratulations Michelle! Here at 

Doorsteppa we all agree the award is 

richly deserved and we know that you 

will continue to make a positive 

difference in thelocal community.

They can head to the bank, cash their checks 

and hit the streets to explore.Theycan work to 

earn more money in avariety of roles such as 

firefighter or beautician and then treat 

themselves to things like shopping sprees and 

entertainment. They’ve earned it!

sun, sea and sand-based activities, here are a 

few ideasfor something alittle different…
