This lovely romantic film, based on the book Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, tells of a visionary sheik who has a big dream — to bring salmon fishing to the desert. Willing to spare no expense, he instructs his representative to turn his dream into reality. The Prime Minister’s overzealous press secretary latches on for its potential as a ‘good will’ story. Now, this unlikely team will put it all on the line and embark on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove the impossible, possible.

1) There will not be an intermediate Pilates class on Monday (5th November), as per my earlier schedule.
2) When attending Pilates classes, please remember to bring a small towel cushion or Pilates block for support.

The acclaimed wildlife artist Esther Tyson is staging an exhibition of recent work in our stunning modern Memorial Hall. Esther lives in Parwich, and the exhibition presents an opportunity for the local community to see her work, as well as serious collectors of wildlife art.
Esther studied at Carlisle College of Art and the prestigious Royal College of Art. She has exhibited in galleries in London and all over the country. She has also received many accolades and awards for her work.
Esther is renowned for work that reflects her intense passion for lengthy study of wild life in its natural habitat. The work she produces evokes a powerful image of the very essence that she experiences in her observations. The exhibition will feature a wide variety of her work, from her local Derbyshire countryside to the mountains of Nepal and recent underwater studies in Dorset.
The exhibition takes place in Parwich Memorial Hall on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th November 2012, from 10am to 4pm. Admission is free, and all are welcome!

Come on, let’s have you… it’s time to get your sticky-back plastic & Fairy Liquid bottles at the ready and get creative at Evie’s artistic afternoons at the Memorial hall from 3.30pm to 5.30pm on Thursday afternoons…
…or if you’d just like some company and a chinwag with a cuppa and bickies, come along and see whats cracking off.
The first one was enjoyed by all who attended. A contribution towards the hire charges is £3.00-ish, but will get less as more people attend.
You might discover a hidden talent, who knows? Be there or be square.

As part of the celebration Tea Party this Sunday there is a presentation by Youlgrave based artist, photographer, writer and naturalist Christine Gregory on her recent work.
Christine works in a range of mediums, but especially impressive are her wildlife photographs taken in the White Peak. It will be a great treat to see her fantastic photographs on the big screen in the Memorial Hall. We are particularly lucky in that we will get a sneak preview of her new book, not officially being launched until next week (click here for details of the official book launch on Tuesday 2nd October). Copies of this book will also be available for purchase.
Christine Gregory‘s presentation will start at
5pm Sunday 30th October in Parwich Memorial Hall
All are welcome, no charge.

She will be followed by a very well know local singer (at approximately 7pm) Don Keyworth, who needs no introduction.
All are welcome and there are no admission charges.
There will be wine and fruit juice and nibbles!
But also the Legion will be open for drinks from 6pm.

One purpose of Art is to get people talking, and presumably Community Art is to get communities talking. Well here are some photographic teasers of the new Memorial Hall Sculpture. To find out more, come along to the unveiling on Sunday.
The children of Parwich Primary School did drawings of the sort of sculpture they might like to see created for the Memorial Hall, which will be exhibited in the Hall on Sunday afternoon. Some of their ideas were incorporated into the final piece. At the risk of shooting myself in the foot, what sort of community sculpture would you like to see installed where? Remember this is a public forum! Peter T.

Parwich Memorial Hall has commissioned a sculpture by local artist blacksmith Hayley Powell. Everyone will know her cuckoo by the Cuckoo Gate in Monsdale Lane (if not go and have a look). Here is a reminder of the unveiling of this in 2006 at a village picnic, that was very well attended despite a clash with the Wimbledon Men’s Final:
Hayley made the cuckoo sculpture when still an A-level student at QEGS; she has since then taken her degree and is now working full-time as an artist and blacksmith (trading as Forever Forged based at Claymills Victorian Forge near Burton on Trent).
Here are some more recent photos of Hayley and her work.

Tomorrow – 7.45pm – Memorial Hall
The film that everyone has been waiting for! A group of British retirees decide to “outsource” their retirement to Best less expensive and seemingly Exotic India. Enticed by advertisements for the newly restored Marigold Hotel and bolstered with visions of a life of leisure, they arrive to find the palace a shell of its former self. Though the new environment is less luxurious than imagined, they are forever transformed by their shared experiences, discovering that life and love can begin again when you let go of the past.
Starring Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Ronald Pickup, Dev Patel & Celia Imrie
Certificate 12…………..Free Entrance …………..Refreshments…………..Raffle

There has been a fantastic response to these classes, as a consequence the 6pm to 7pm class is now full and there is a waiting list.
There are places still available in the 7.15pm class. If you are thinking of attending, and still haven’t contacted me, please do so by Monday 3rd September.
Thank you for the initial support and enthusiasm its great.
Looking forward to seeing you all on the 5th September.
