Update on ‘Wellbeing of Women’ Coffee Morning
Posted in Events on Saturday February 6, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Sue H would like to say a big ‘thank you’ to everyone who supported the coffee morning last Friday and made donations. She would especially like to thank those who sent cakes, jam, eggs etc. for sale. The morning raised £225 which will be sent to Carol M who is raising sponsorship for WoW.
As well as being a successful fund-raising event, it was an excellent opportunity to see people and to catch up!

The A52s To Rock Bonsall
Posted in A52s, Events on Sunday January 10, 2010| 9 Comments »
This is the sight of The A52s trying to locate the historic mining village of Bonsall.
The band are madly trying to remember the songs they knew so well just before Christmas. So many sherries…..
Hope they get their act together as they are to play a massive gig in the Barley Mow in Bonsall on Saturday 23rd January around 8.30pm. The pub is a brilliant place for live music with a great atmosphere. It is also world famous as the number one location for UFO-spotting….so you might get a double dose of entertainment if you come along! Turn left off the Via Gelia just before Cromford to get there. The full five-piece will be playing. Free admission!
The lads would love some local support so make a note in your diaries/ iPhones/ National Trust wall calendars!

Charity Coffee Morning: this Saturday.
Posted in Alsop, Events, Out & About on Friday December 4, 2009| 1 Comment »
Thanks to Shura Prince for contacting us with the following information:
My name is Shura Prince. I live at Alsop Moor, and I am doing a charity coffee morning on Saturday the 5th December at Alstonefield Village Hall, from 10am till 1pm.
There will be a Santa’s Grotto, face painting, tombola and a variety of stalls. All money raised is going to PACT (Parents Association for Children with Tumours and Leukaemia).
This is a charity close to my heart, as my daughter Evie had leukaemia when she was 6 weeks old. She is now 6 and is doing well. So I just want to give back something to the charity that helped me and my family through a tough time.

Ball Race

This afternoon saw the Ball Race to raise funds for next year’s St George’s Day Parade and associated festivities.
The rain stopped and the sun came out just at the right time. Some 500 balls were raced down Pump Hill, with the first three winning their owners prizes. Then all adjourned to the Legion for a barbecue. For more photos (more…)

After The Gold Rush.
Posted in 2009, Arts, Church, Events, Films, Music, Posts of Note on Sunday November 15, 2009| 2 Comments »
Thanks to Kevin S. for the following report.
NOTE: There are a couple of videos of Saturday night’s screening – complete with live organ accompaniment and audience laughter! – at the end of this post. Click “Continue Reading” to access them.
The number of cars parked around the green suggested that something very different and special was awaiting us, as we walked to St Peter’s last night to watch The Gold Rush, with organ accompaniment by Christopher Harrison. There were plenty of familiar faces sitting in the pews, but there were very many new faces too. It soon became apparent that the plethora of enthusiastic visitors had come from film clubs around Derbyshire, having heard about last night’s unique event.
The rapturous applause for Christopher’s accompaniment on organ and piano, and for the sound effects created by Martin and Arnold, were clear testament to a remarkable evening. What’s more, over £200 was raised for the church restoration fund.
The atmosphere of the darkened church, the excellent silent film and Christopher’s witty organ playing combined to magical effect. Oh, and there were great nibbles (from local cooks) and wine (courtesy of Waitrose) during the interval too.
