Cllr Garry Purdey Helps Out

I have just received a cheque from Garry Purdey for £250. It comes from his County Council Discretionary Fund; which is designed to help local projects; such as ours.

This will cover ten nights room rental for future events that we put on. It guarantees our events for some time to come, which is great!

Next up in The Temple Hotel is Andy Brazewell; with his talk on the scientific trip to the Amazon, with 60 young people, that he completed this summer. That will be on the 18th of November at 7.30pm.

Missing Flutist Changes Grand Pavilion Programme!

<<P1020278.JPG>> The Ashbourne Sinfonia concert programme had to be changed, at the last minute, because a flautist was stuck in the north of Scotland!
The concert was the second event, organised by the Friends of the Grand Pavilion, and had a good audience and made a great evening.
90 people gathered in The Members Room to share an evening of classical music at County Hall. The missing flautist, stuck in Inverness, caused a change to the programme resulting in pieces by Handel and Benda being dropped. As a result the audience listened to music from Mozart, JS Bach, Pachabel and Van Hal.
This has been the biggest event we have organised to date. It was pleasing that we got a handsome audience for the Sinfonia and we have made a good profit on the night, which will increase our funds.
Andie Brazewell will be the main attraction at the next event, on the 18th of November in the Temple Hotel. If we get the same size of audience then, we will fill the place!
Friends of the Grand Pavilion membership now stands at 732.

Face the Music

A tremendous event yesterday in Wirksworth, well done Andie and Ted. Top of the bill was Taste Buds, who put on a great show.

I was there with Grand Pavilion leaflets, getting a great response. It is amazing that our member from North Wales was back in Wirksworth for the weekend and enjoying the show.

This week we have put on 33 members making the total 708!
