Artist Rachel Carter and Ilkeston’s Community Champion Kerry Wheatley, are submitting plans to create a show garden at the prestigious RHS Chatsworth 2018.
Description of garden
A new club for budding youngsters and adults looking to enter their first triathlon has been launched in Derby.
The HUUB Academy is the brainchild of Dean Jackson the owner of triathlon wetsuit and kit company HUUB Design and long-established triathlon coach Hilary Johnson – the mother and coach of elite triathlete twins Tom and David Bishop.
Based at HUUB Design’s offices at the Park Bikeworks in Derby’s Cathedral Quarter, The HUUB Academy already has more than 20 junior and adult members and a weekly training programme.
Derby-based film and television writer, director and producer Gurmit Samra returned to Derby College’s Joseph Wright Centre to inspire the next generation of industry professionals to follow their dreams.
Mr Samra was a lecturer at the College for seven years before pursuing his career in film and television full time.
The two St Peters Quarter Rangers will return to the area this week (w/c April 3) in the first stage of the St Peters Quarter Business Improvement District (BID) five-year programme.
Nikki Matthews and Dave Wilson were a familiar sight in the area during the previous St Peters Quarter BID programme but were one of the many services that were lost when the BID finished last September.
Following a successful re-ballot of local businesses, the new BID officially started on April 1 and the Rangers have been re-appointed by the BID Board.
We already have many confirmations and are pleased to welcome some new exhibitors for you to enjoy meeting and seeing with more to come (go to www.potsandfood.co.uk to see those who have already confirmed)
