Entertainment / Tupton History Society
« Last post by Old Cruser on January 24, 2026, 10:19:17 AM »We are closing down.
Unfortunately due to lack of people coming onboard to help to run this and our ages as we are all retired people we have taken the decision to close.
March this year will be our last presentation night.
Our treasurer is needing to retire from it due to his health and his wife a committee member is also too unwell to come anymore.
So two down.
If I fall ill there's no one to take over my role as Secretary.
However our website will be kept running and if you have never logged into Tupton Local History Society web site its worth a look as there's a lot of information and photographs on the site.
Meanwhile our next and last presentation which I'll be advertising is by a local lad who will tell us about the group he is in which goes down old Derbyshire Mines.
So a fitting ending to a Society that has brought so many good speakers into Tupton as well as some lovely people.

Insulting the Euro troops even Starmer has at last found his voice and straightened his backbone a bit.
We know he's made statements in the past about Europe and some I've taken to be a way of shaking them up a bit because lets face it Europe has become complacent in some ways so maybe I thought a method in his comments sometimes.
However he's now sunken to Gob Shite Status - he's lost the plot!!

The rest of Europe put on a show of solidarity but Starmer couldn't be bothered to go. You can guarantee Trump and Putin talk more often than they say they do, it won't be long before the two of them decide to divide the world up between them.
The faster they get Trump out of office the better, followed swiftly by Starmer.

I watched the speech Starmer gave to the nation this morning and he chose his words carefully, unfortunately with Trump your dealing with a megalomaniac who is steering in the wrong direction, not only by the fact he's a nutter, but by his sycophantic advisers.
How that man became President of the U.S.A. not once but twice beats me, there's even talk of him trying to sneak in another term and it's not beyond the realms of possibility.

Chesterfield Discussion / Re: Tesco
« Last post by Sorastro on January 19, 2026, 12:54:33 PM »A couple of people I've spoken to have mentioned Tesco closing the precinct store and moving to the old M&S site.
One says it will be a reversal of the M&S move with people losing out when just picking a few things up in the precinct store on their way back to their cars in the multi storey across Beetwell street.
I personally don't give a monkey's either way, as I've said my trips to town are becoming more and more infrequent, I go because I have to. Just this week it will be to visit Specsavers for an eye test and will call in the bank whilst there, I see no reason to keep going when I can shop elsewhere with free parking.

They are wasting money not saving it!
We went around half of the village yesterday it's not too bad but several need attention. If I have the time I'll do the rest today and put them all through tomorrow ready to plop into their emails Monday morning
