Grand Pavilion Planning Meeting

Over the weekend the trustees had a planning meeting to sort out our structure for the coming months and years.

Having taken on the lease, in the expectation that we would not be able to do much with the building, we have found that we can use it. We have now had two extended events in the building and are planning three more this year. We hope to have lots of events next year!

The structure, that we agreed18 months ago, cannot cope with this change and we need to re-organise ourselves to deal with the running of a living building! We are likely to have an overall management group that will oversee everything and then a series of smaller committees to oversee the individual tasks that need to be done.

As the days go by I will do further Blog postings with more details.

Rolls Royce Helping the Grand Pavilion

Ten Rolls Royce executives are helping The Grand Pavilion to reach their goals. They are helping to formulate a plan that will get the Grand Pavilion used more, in the time before a full restoration is able to be started.

The ten picked the Grand Pavilion project from nearly a dozen different community projects. This is part of their management training course, which includes a community project as part of the curriculum. They are currently looking at the different revenue streams that the Grand Pavilion can gain. From this they will make recommendations as to what improvements to the building should be prioritised first, to bring the greatest benefits to the overall project.

This is a massive help to us as they are devoting time and energy to a subject that will help to make our project successful in the short term. In deciding what we can and can’t do, with the building now, we will be able to look at potential bookings as a real opportunity. Currently we are just doing what is necessary to meet the next booking’s requirement. We then have to hope that we will get another similar booking, that will help to justify what we have spent.

Five of the group (pictured) came over to talk to us and they now have a clear idea of what we are looking for. We have a good idea of how they can help us.” Gregor continued; “we hope that this relationship will build and that they will gain, as much as we already have, from our relationship together.

Wirksworth Festival

A great weekend was had by all at the Wirksworth Festival. Numbers were up on last year and the weather was fantastic.

We were there with the stall again and this time we were down by the station. It was a bit quieter there tan up in the town centre, but we still had lots of visitors to the stall.

Trina did sterling work again and we also had other helpers.

Overall we signed up 40 new members and I feel sure that will get lots of forms back that we handed out.

Membership now stands at 1370. We have only lost 5 so far as people renew. There are still some who are a bit late though!

"Summertime" - Gerry Kreibich and Leisha Martin and Cream Teas at the Temple Hotel

We are very pleased to put together two great artists who will play for us on the August Bank Holiday Monday, see the flyer (attached). They will perform famous songs from the American South, such as “Summertime”.

In addition Mel will be putting on one of her wonderful cream teas. Eat as much as you like from her fare of cakes sandwiches and other delights! We will also have a Quiz from Mark Crowfoot; remember his amazing Christmas Quiz?

The event will start at 3pm and carry on until about 7pm on Monday 27^th of August at the Temple Hotel, Matlock Bath. At £10 per person this is a really good value event. We will also raise some funds if we can make this a successful event.

Tickets can be bought from me (see below) or from Arkwright’s shop in Cromford, the Mining Museum or the Newsagents in Matlock Bath.

The Hazards of Printing Flyers for Events

I have had a real saga getting printing done for our next event. I started with our regular “on-line printers”, who are normally fantastic, but are currently unable to supply anyone without a VAT number (new EU regulations). So I found another….well all went well, I uploaded the artwork just like before and all seemed fine. Then I get an email saying that the size of the file is wrong it is A4 but I want printing on A5; never a problem with the other printer.

I stayed up until midnight getting the files altered to fit this requirement and sent them off in time. Another email; some fonts are missing! I phone them and the guy says that I can send the files as JPEGs, which is fine so I do that; also in time for printing by Friday.

Another email, the JPEGs are the wrong size! I gave up at that point and am now on my third printer!

Matlock Bath Recovering from the Summer

After all the bad weather that we have had, the shops in Matlock Bath have had a pretty rough summer. However the weather has picked up a bit now and I found people in good cheer when I went around the shops today
I was replenishing stocks of the cards advertising the free cash machine in the side of the Pavilion. We are now seeing about 200 extra uses of the machine each week, when compared with last year.
The old Methodist Church is now hosting a great market on many weekends, good stalls and lots of customers! Well done Aiden and Jules.

Bonsall & Brassington Carnivals

We did Bonsall and Brassington today. It was a lovely day but a bit windy, so the stand was a problem. We did not sign up many new members (4) as in Bonsall we have already signed up so many of the residents and the Brassington Carnival was more of a pop festival than a carnival. We don't do well at pop festivals!

Petition Against Parking Charges in Matlock Bath

Sheffield Motorcycle Centre, one of the many groups that are opposed to parking charges for using Matlock Bath’s streets, have started the online petition against the Derbyshire County Council parking charges plan.
The petition is on the approved Derbyshire County Council petition website. It requires 7,500 signatures to force a re-think, which could keep parking free on Matlock Bath’s North and South parades.
If you are opposed to charges for parking on Matlock Bath Streets, then sign the petition.

Work on the Grand Pavilion Windows

As you can see there has been a dramatic improvement in the condition of this window! We've not finished yet as there is the rest of this window to undercoat and another layer of undercoat to put on yet. That is before the gloss that will finish the job.
This work is carrying on over the summer so that by the time we get to the winter we will have a Pavilion ready to meet the elements. Each week is led by a qualified builder and people volunteer to help on Saturdays from 10am for a few hours.
If you wild like to help please contact me.

The Grand Pavilion Stall at the "Sheldon Day"

For the second year running we appeared at the Sheldon Day. It was a lovely day and again we had good weather. The carnival had more people than last year if I can remember it well enough from last year.

I was there with the stall and I talked to an enormous number of people. There were more people who know about what we were trying to do but amazingly many who knew nothing about our plans for the Grand Pavilion. I got 8 forms completed, but since that included seven individual memberships that only accounted for nine new members. That was however two better than last year, when I think I signed up seven in total.

Good work was done in painting the windows on the ground floor, I will do a Blog posting about that tomorrow.

District Councils Network

I have just spoken to the District Councils Network in their conference to discuss the Localism Act. I spoke about the Grand Pavilion project and how we were able to make some progress even before the act was passed.

The other speakers gave a view of the different aspects of the act and how local community groups can take advantage of it. Matthew West spoke from the Department of Communities and Local Government. Leslie Silverlock gave a presentation on community politics in Somerset. Liam Scott Smith, Head of External Affairs of the DCA spoke about the changes that will occur in the relationship between Central Government, Local Government and people at large.

So often the problem with local councils is one of a number of different departments being required to work together to make a particular project successful.

Fishpond Choir

A lovely evening was had by all at St Mary's Church in Cromford! We had a audience of around 100 for the Fishpond Choir and they put on a fantastic show for us. There were classical pieces like Vincenzo Bellini's "Il Fervido Desiderio" through to popular songs such as "La Bamba".
The choir came back for no less than three encores and finished with a reprise of "La Bamba", with the whole audience clapping in tune with the music.
We will definitely book the Fishpond Choir for one of the early nights after The Grand Pavilion re-opens.

Ambergate Carnival

This weekend Friends Group volunteers managed to cover Ambergate, Birchover and Youlgreave Carnivals!
We had two volunteers at each, except Ambergate; which I covered alone. I had rain at the end of the event, which is always a problem as people don't get a chance to re-visit and join up. But Birchover had a clear afternoon and a great time was had by all. In Youlgreave the event had some rain but was a success for The Grand Pavilion stall. I had left the gazebo at Birchover, I could have done with it in Ambergate!
In all we signed up 13 members, but there was a lot of interest and we should double that in the next few days, with membership forms being posted back to us.
There was also a lot of interest and we hope to make contact with the people who left their details.

Fishpond Choir to appear for The Grand Pavilion

The well known Fishpond Choir are to appear in St Mary’s Church in Cromford on Saturday the 14th of July. The choir started up in the Fishpond pub in 2001 as a community choir. The event is being organised as a fundraiser for the Friends of the Grand Pavilion, who managed to reopen the building partially for the first time last month.

The choir, which is about fifty strong, sings a wide selection of material which includes folk music from around the world, light classical pieces and items specially written or arranged by Dana and Anne.  However, its first love is African music - mostly from the south of the continent. Nobody knows if it was the country’s first pub choir but founder members like to think so.

The Fishpond Choir start their performance at 7.30pm in St Mary’s Church, Cromford.  At 6.30pm we will be opening the Wharf Café for drinks (both alcoholic and soft) before the event and the café will re-open after the event. Tickets are £5 for members and £8 for non-members. They can be bought at Arkwright’s Stores in Cromford; Top Kens in Wirksworth; Matlock Music Shop in Dale Road; The Mining Museum and Bob’s Newsagents in Matlock Bath.

Bakewell Show

Bakewell Show was pretty much a disaster this year. I turned up at 11.45am to find that it had moved. I then went round to the show ground to be told that no stalls could be accommodated, because there was no space!
The problem was that the recreation ground, which they normally use, was waterlogged. At the last minute they had been offered the car park at the back of the Agricultural Centre.
I am not the sort of person to take NO for an answer so I hunted around for a space to put the stall. I settled on a sheltered spot just by the entrance to the Agricultural Centre. This looked like a good pitch, but being near The Fair meant that there was not a good quality of clientele! In the end I probably only talked properly to about a dozen people, the majority of whom came from abroad and none came from the Bakewell area!
The one high point was Lynda (photographed) arriving and keeping me company. The low point was the downpour that we had to suffer from 2,30 to 3pm!
Net result was no new members for five hours work. Last year we signed up about 8 members. I think we would have been better painting the Pavilion!

Subject: The Grand Pavilion put on the "Theatre Buildings At Risk Register"

 

For four years the Grand Pavilion should have been on the At Risk Register, published annually by the Theatres Trust. Now it is on the list.

It will be a big advantage for us to have it on as it will recognise the danger that the building is in and will help to make funding bodies realise the danger of loosing it.

Whilst we will be striving to help to make the building viable in the future, now we have recognition that our work is valid.

Celebrating Cromford

A fantastic weekend was had in Celebrating Cromford on both the Saturday and the Sunday.

The weather was marginal, but it only really rained once and then not for long. There was a good write-up in Matlock People.

I was there with the stand (pictured) and signed up 21 new members, which takes us close to 1,300 members to date. The wind was our big problem on the Saturday blowing over the stand once and causing many difficulties at other times.

Right Royal Review

Matlock Musical Theatre's Right Royal Review was a fantastic success! They appeared in Matlock & Calver last weekend and Bakewell & Wirksworth, to full houses each time. It was a great evening using of the Queen's 60 years on the throne as a theme. This worked well and became the centrepiece for a number of songs from both musicals and pop history including Bohemian Rhapsody (pictured) and a "Phantom of the Opera" medially.

As you would expect I was there with the stall and generated some interest but no members on the night, We were too busy watching the show!

Matlock Leads!

The Friends of the Grand Pavilion now have more members living in Matlock than in any other town or village! With 244 members this is higher than in Cromford (226) which has led up until now. Since the last update we have put on 168 new members, 52 are living in Matlock.

Almost all of there new members have joined as a result of our Derbyshire Open Arts Event (Pictured).

The rest of this massive increase in membership has come from lots of other places. We are that much closer to 2,000 members now.

Comments and Ideas from the Theatres Trust Conference

These are a few comments that I wrote down from the sessions and the meetings that I had with people afterwards:

·         “Nothing brings out a sense of pride in a town more that an Theatre in the centre of that town” Griff Rhys Jones

·         Many politicians are therefore coming round to the idea of a theatre in the centre of a town.

·         Link to A Younger Theatre (blog)

·         Stratfordrising.com, can we do the same sort of thing?

·         Tara Arts Environmental Policy, get a copy.

·         Elderly People Day centre to fill weekday, daytime use.

·         Sheffield Region Local Enterprise Partnership – get them interested.

·         Re-use any stage floorboards in a public area to keep a connection with those who “trod them”.

·         I spoke to Dame Elizabeth Forger, Chairwoman of the Arts Council.

·         Try the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation for grants.

·         Organise community events in the Pavilion to build a rapport with each village / community.

·         Louise Page / Christopher Hawes playwrights in Brassington.

·         1000 people give £20 per month, in 4 years you have £1m!

·         Power requirement, we are likely to require a three phase 100 amp.

·         We are likely to require up to 100 dimmers for the theatre and 140 lights!

Final Tally of the Derbyshire Open Arts

I’m sure that you will all agree that Derbyshire Open Arts has been an enormous success!

We had exactly 2,000 visitors; we have signed up 152 members, so far, as a result of this event; we have raised nearly £1,000 from these memberships; The Buckets raised £410; the Catalogues have raised £290 so far; The Café has raised £673 gross, with some costs to come off that; The Auction has raised £516; and we will have raised around £1,000 in Grant Aid, once the money is all received. We have also had the most amazing level of publicity. I have linked some of this below.
