Matlock Bath Panto!

What an event!

Nearly 500 watched over two nights and had a great time.

The acting was incredible.

We took £900 on the bar.Which helped make it a financial success.

Belper Food Fair

Although we started with rain the day got better as it developed. By lunchtime it was gloriously warm. Dick & Carol arrived at lunchtime and gave us a break, which was spent in the park listening to music.

For the Pavilion it was a superbly successful day with 33 New members, 66 for the ten previous days.

Matlock Bath Music Festival

A really great evening was had by all especially by those who watched Beth McCarthy.

She ran out of battery in her guitar, so jumped off the stage and "played busking". The audience loved it!

We took around £900 for the two nights, so should show some profit for the two nights.

Ambergate Carnival

I think this is the fourth time we have done this carnival and this was one of the best. Eight new members and an enormous interest, especially from a younger group. It seems as though younger people (under 40) did not believe that we could do it. Now, however, they have seen that we can really make a go of the Pavilion, to create a super venue.
The Carnival had a Brazilian theme and was really good; lots of people in the parade!
As usual my raffle tickets failed to come up; so I left empty handed!

Saturday Night Fever at the Pavilion

A truly great night! We had about 200 people watching this classic film. There was then a dance troop doing a medley of Bee Gee songs. This was followed by general dancing until we closed.

We need more evenings like this!

Bakewell Carnival Again

After a lot of rain overnight it seemed as though the day was going to be dank and wet. As usual the incompetent weather forecasters got it wrong again! It was a lovely day with sun shining for most of the time.

The carnival floats were great, although I don't think I have ever seen so much cross-dressing! Girls dressed as drum majoretts, boys dressed as girls dressed as drum majoretts! The most beefy nuns that I've ever seen.

We did well with membership, signing up 12 during the day. This is double what we did last time I was there.

Lynda was in Winster, more about that when I hear from her.
