27/11/23 Bee Keeping Courses
From Notts NARPO member Andy Bailey
I am a retired DCI from Nottingham, currently work with a collective of beekeepers to form a charity “ Hero’s Honey”. We are offering free beekeeping courses to any front line service personnel, retired officers or armed service personnel who have been forced to retire due to injury on duty or mental health issues.
The course will be a one day event for the officer/retired officer and any family members that care to attend and will take place in the Sheffield area. All equipment and clothing required for the day will be provided at no cost.
Beekeeping is known to be therapeutic as well as being a fascinating hobby. This one day course run by a retired member of the armed services who is now a commercial beekeeper, will hopefully offer an insight into keeping bees. The only cost to the attendee will be any travel and accommodation.
It is an aspiration of the charity to eventually provide each attendee the opportunity to have a free beehive and bees ( subject to suitable locations being available) together with a mentor to guide them through their initial beekeeping journey.
If any members are interested in this offer please contact me and I'll forward contact details of the course tutor.

16/11/23 Community Police Officer of the Year Award
On Wednesday 8th November 2023 I had the honour of attending the Derbyshire Constabulary Celebrating Achievements Awards where I presented the Community Police Officer of the Year to Constable Scheck who is stationed at Ilkeston. The citation for this award was given by Assistant Chief Constable Michelle Shooter.
The award which is sponsored by NARPO Derbyshire Branch is presented in the name of Pc Matt Rowe who died of cancer while serving in Derby in 2005. I had the pleasure of working with Matt so it was so nice to present the trophy which bears his name.
