Bakewell Show

It is rare that I have to report a poor performance but this was one.

Firstly let me thank Julia, Lynda and Pearl for their stirling work.

The Bakewell Show is a big event and we have never been to it before. However we went this year and signed us just three members! This netted just £25, against a cost for the stand of £64. We were in a poor place with little passing traffic and most of the people we talked to were not from the area. Anyway you live and learn.

Pavilion Restoration Reaches the Phil Grey Door

Here are Julia and Keith by the door to the Grey Room. They have just stripped the paint of the door ready for refurbishment.

During the summer Keith has led the refurbishment teams whilst Les has been having the second knee replacement operation. Les is nearly recovered from the operation and will be back soon. Whilst he has been away the team has carried on working and made a significant number of small improvements, which will be noticeable when you next visit the building.

Starkholmes "Follies" Step In!

20 former members of Phil Grey's Follies musical group meet in the "Grey Room" to discuss how to raise money to buy curtains for the completion of this restoration project.

The Follies put on a number of shows in the Starkholmes Village Hall,until just before Phil died in 1993.

They agreed a number of actions and projects to raise the money. The first was on me; to find out how much the curtains will cost! 

The Operations Committee named the room after Phil Grey, who saved the Pavilion.....twice!

Fantastic Evening from Matlock Musical Theatre

Matlock Musical Theatre put on A Little Shop of Horrors and created a great show.

On Friday there was an audience of 200. This made the Pavilion feel very full and it certainly was hot!
