New Pavilion Window on the Stage

<<2011 December 25th Christmas 001.jpg>> One of the windows in the old
Tourist Information Centre has been dressed up to be a Theatre Stage
Window.
We will be using it to advertise all the events that we will be putting
on in the future. With the Curtains, it looks like a little stage and
should have a dramatic effect on those walking by.
Thanks to Charles Beresford for the idea and Deebs Judd for the
handiwork!
Look out for our future events as you pass by the Pavilion!

Carols, Quizzes and Winster Guisers

A great night was had by all at the Temple Hotel on Friday. We had a good take-up for the quiz night and it was tough! Some teams only got half the questions right!

The rounds of the quiz itself were indispersed by carols. Nick the Vic arrive with a Pave the Pav T-Shirt!

Due to the weather – it snowed a lot that night – the Winster Guisers arrived quite late and only came on at around 10.30. This gave time for the bar to fill up!

We raised a little money, but it proved to be a great start to the Christmas festivities.

Anthony Radford visits the Grand Pavilion

Today I showed Anthony Radford, the Arts and Venues Manager of Chesterfield Borough Council, around the Grand Pavilion and talked about our plans.

He was impressed with the building and our enthusiasm to make it into a venue for Music and the Arts. I got the expected “Wow” when he saw the ballroom!

We have an issue here in that Chesterfield is only 11 miles from Matlock Bath and has the Pomegranate and the Winding Wheel. There is good scope for competition once the Grand pavilion is open. This would not be helpful to either side.

What we agreed was to work together and to look for ways of making mutually beneficial links, both before the Grand Pavilion opens and afterwards.
