Friends of The Grand Pavilion - Membership reaches 175!

The new “Friends of The Grand Pavilion” group has now signed up 175 members, confirming the enormous support that the Grand Pavilion now has.

I am very happy with this early progress in signing up member of “The Friends…” group. When going around both Matlock Bath and Cromford, I am really heartened by both the level of knowledge of, and support for, what we are doing.

There is a great support for our plans. These include a theatre with banked seating, allowing everyone a good view. The seating is removable to create an open space for table-top-sales, antique fairs, pop concerts and many other uses as an open space.

Another great factor of our success is the number of people who are adding donations to their membership fees. A quarter of what people have given us has been in the form of extra donations.

A high membership will help enormously with the Funding Bodies that we will be approaching. These bodies will provide a major part of the funding needed to renovate the Grand Pavilion. It is one thing to get people to sign a petition. It is a wholly greater commitment when people are willing to donate to support our project. This is recognised by the funding bodies.

Those who want to join us can sign up online at “thegrandpavilion.co.uk” or contact us at Masson Cottage.

Individual membership is £10, Families £15, and Concessions (Students, OAPs and Unemployed) £5.
