PLOG (Paul’s Log):

By the time you’re reading this the clocks will have sprung forward and we’ll be enjoying lighter nights, hopefully.

I really do hope this means we’ll be leaving behind all the bugs and viruses that seem to have blighted many of us over the last few months, me for at least five weeks, sorry family!  I understand some of the classes in Westfield and Walton and Holymoorside schools were down by ten kids on some days during March.

Leaving that behind us, we’re celebrating our third S40 Local birthday this month.  That’s why I’ve included all the fantastic cover photo’s that have been used throughout the 32 editions.  To celebrate our 3rd birthday I asked Matt Kane to write an article to mark the occasion - he’s spoken to several of our longest standing advertisers and I’m really pleased and pretty flattered with what they had to say - thanks for the comments and to Matt for the article.  I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who’s worked on and supported S40 over the last three years.

In this edition I’ve focused on a number of local historical aspects - celebrating the anniversary of the mass Kinder Trespass, the Centenary of the Chesterfield Motor Club and a new Chesterfield Circular walk that takes you through some historically interesting sights but also gives you a new and different perspective on the town.

Have a great Easter and don’t eat too many eggs.

Paul.
