'An educational charity devoted to the rescue of industrial heritage buildings and helping to preserve the precious built and natural landscape in and around Cromford ... From family fun weekends to lectures, guided tours, off-site visits, exhibitions and Cromford Mills’ brand new three day Georgian Festival, there is something for everyone.'

Occasional meetings: ''We normally meet in the bookshop café at eight on a Saturday Night. The talk lasts about an hour, followed by something to eat and a discussion phase that goes on to ten or a bit later - and afterwards in the pub for some ...'.

'We hold eight talks per year on a wide range of plant-related topics. Costs for talks are £1 per member and £3 per visitor (cost includes refreshments).'

‘Formed in 1990 and covers an area of the county stretching from east to west, from Derby in the south to Bakewell in the North. The Groups’s objectives are to encourage the understanding and study of badgers, their environment and habitat, and to promote measures that enhance their welfare and conservation ... Regular indoor and field meetings bring members together and keep them in touch with what is happening locally, regionally and nationally.’

Festival usually held in September.
