The Butterfly Effect – Chalkhill Blue

Sun 28th February 2027

A serene lake surrounded by lush, green trees under a partly cloudy sky. Swans and ducks swim peacefully on the water's surface, which reflects the greenery and parts of the blue sky. Tall grass lines the front of the image, enhancing the natural, tranquil scene. A picturesque landscape showcasing a well-maintained green lawn leading to a historic brick tower partially hidden by dense trees. The scene is under a dramatic cloudy sky, with autumn leaves on trees adding vibrant colors to the image. A serene forest scene with a dirt path winding through tall trees and dense foliage. The forest floor is covered with vibrant bluebells in full bloom, creating a carpet of purple flowers under the lush green canopy. Sunlight filters through the leaves, creating dappled shadows. A green flag with white text reads “RASSELBOCK RUNNING” and “RASSELBOCK.CO.UK.” A simple line drawing of mountains is visible at the bottom of the flag. The background is blurred trees. A person wearing a yellow safety vest, gloves, and a headscarf stands on a grassy path, smiling with arms raised in a "V" shape. A signmarked "22" is visible nearby, and greenery surrounds the scene. A smiling woman with red-dyed hair rings a large bell under a green canopy at an outdoor event. She wears a red shirt and blue jacket, with medals laid out on the table in front of her. A group of runners, led by a man with visible tattoos and a cap, jog across a grassy field with trees in the background. The participants wear athletic gear and race bibs. Rows of medals shaped like green luna moths with brown ribbons are neatly arranged on a flat surface. The ribbons have printed text in white, and the medals display detailed wings and body markings.

Organiser's Description

Welcome to Shipley Country Park in Derbyshire, an area steeped in history and was even mentioned in the Doomsday Book back in 1086! The land has been part of a stately home, hunting lodge, and, as always in this area, a coal mine.

We’ll be putting on a series of events celebrating the butterflies (and sometimes moths) from around the world!

Hopefully, you can join us and add the medals to your Rasselbock collection.
