We hail from the east coast of Derbyshire (Derbyshire is widely known as “an island of culture in a sea of barbarism”). Our ages range from 28 to 70+ and energy used is in direct proportion to years. Thus, you’re more likely to catch an alluring glimpse of garter on black stockings on a more mature member.

The flagstone floors were warmed by the open fire and the smell of food and an obscenely large selection of real ales tantalised their nostrils. As the icy winds whistled outside their thoughts turned to lazy summer days with idyllic scenes involving ice cream and festivals and disturbing the peace with the clash of sticks and the jingle of bells.
