Another extremely successful Wakes Week is over and thanks must go to everyone who took part, spectators, participants, organisers and helpers, but without the hard work of the committee who meet, plan and co-ordinate the events we wouldn’t have this amazing week. So special thanks to Kerry Allsop, Janet Bainbridge, Sandra Chadfield, Roger Cundy, Liz Edge, Denis Laycock, Alan & Barbara Lowes, Paula Lynam, Sharon Swindell and Karen Wigley.
Next year’s Wakes begins on Saturday 30th June 2012.
The rest of this article contains all the Wakes posts and is a shortcut to any event or photo you may have missed. (more…)

THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD
This great, classic film starred Errol Flynn as the swash-buckling and daring hero, with Olivia de Havilland as Maid Marian, and with Basil Rathbone. It won 3 Oscars including Best Film score for the marvellous music by Erich Korngold. With a budget of $2 million, it was the most expensive film made to date, and one of the first to use the Technicolor process.
Now newly re-mastered from the original print, the superb costumes and sets look stunning; not a film to be missed!
In the warm and comfortable Parwich Memorial Hall FRIDAY 17th June 7.45PM

From the director of Calendar Girls comes a new comedy-drama with an all-star British cast.
The film stars the award winning Sally Hawkins as Rita O’Grady, who is the catalyst for the 1968 Ford Dagenham strike by 187 sewing machinists which led to the advent of the Equal Pay Act. Working in extremely impoverished conditions and for long arduous hours, the women at the Ford Dagenham plant finally lay down their tools when they are reclassified as “unskilled”.
With humour, common sense and courage they take on their corporate paymasters, an increasingly belligerent local community, and finally the government itself. The leader of the women’s struggle is fast-talking, no nonsense Rita, whose fiery temper and occasionally hilarious unpredictability proves to be a match for any of her male opponents, and is echoed by Barbara Castle’s struggle in the male-dominated House of Commons.
The film stars a host of Britain’s finest acting talent, including Sally Hawkins (Happy-Go-Lucky, It’s A Wonderful Afterlife), Bob Hoskins (The Long Good Friday, Mona Lisa), Miranda Richardson (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), and Rosamund Pike (Pride & Prejudice, An Education).
In the warm and comfortable Parwich Memorial Hall on
Friday 15th April at 7.45pm.
Free Entrance … Refreshments … Raffle
Silent projection … Hi Fi Sound … Special hi-fi headphones for those with hearing difficulties; please ask.

On page six of the Spring 2011 edition of “Dales Matters” (which is the magazine that is distributed to all households served by Derbyshire Dales District Council), there is a feature on last year’s opening of Parwich Memorial Hall. The construction project was awarded £2000 of financial support by DDDC’s Community Fund, which went towards the insulation of the hall’s exterior walls.

(The blog team apologises for the lateness of this post. We are rather short-staffed this week, so anyone wishing a post to be made over the next few days is best advised to contact us as soon as possible.)
Circuit Training at the Memorial Hall resumes Thursday evening (6th Jan) at 6pm after the Christmas break.
You don’t need to have started from the beginning – anyone can join at any time, and come to as many or as few sessions as you like.
All abilities are catered for – perhaps now is the time to try to start working off that extra helping of Christmas pud?
