TICKETS

Though usually well supported, getting ‘bums on seats’ is not the easiest task so once again club secretaries will soon be mailed a supply of tickets on ‘ sale or return’ . Still unable to find any better means of ensuring a good audience it’s accepted they’re mailed out ‘unsolicited’ however they aren’t ‘ours’ but are issued by the theatre and therefore ‘hold a ‘face value’ so to any club unable to sell their allocation , WE REALLY DO NEED THEM BACK ! NO LATER THAN SATURDAY MARCH 14TH Please try and sell yours if you can and even if you may not have a participant ,try and support the evening – It’s always a highly enjoyable evening with wonderfully talented young performers

Young Musician Gala Concert 2015

Posted by on November 29, 2014

ROTARY DISTRICT 1220 YOUNG MUSICIAN GALA CONCERT 2015
ROBERT LUDLAM THEATRE
DERBY
SUNDAY MARCH 22ND 2015 @ 19.00

ATTENTION ! CLUB YOUTH SERVICES CO-ORDINATORS

Hello all ! ……. after some delay and uncertainty I’m pleased to be able to announce the date of and venue for what will be our 20TH SUCCESSIVE D-1220 YOUNG MUSICIAN GALA CONCERT .

After much consideration and heeding comments made to us in recent years as to the date being too soon at the start of the summer term &/or close to important examinations , we have brought the event forward to SUNDAY MARCH 22ND which is towards the end of the spring term but before Easter and hopefully any holiday arrangements.

Depite it being over 9 months since the fire, no decision has been made yet by Derby City Council as to the future or otherwise of our long established venue, the Assembly Rooms so we’ve been faced with a decision as to where the 2015 event should be held , however due to it’s ‘professional theatre’ format and facilities, the co-operation of it’s technical team and not least ease of access & parking we’ve had no hesitation in returning to where we were obliged to move following the fire , namely the ROBERT LUDLAM THEATRE

Nomination Forms are available via the dedicated Young Musician Gala Concert page of this site.

Please note however that if you have a potential performer, when you’re ready to send the form back please make sure , you ( i.e the Rotary club)) completes it and submits it District and not the school (etc)

Should anyone be unfamiliar or need any guidance as to the criteria for identifying performers then as long as the person concerned has enthusiasm and ambition in their music, plus the ability and confidence to perform in public , how far they have advanced is not critical . Each year we’ve always tried to balance the programme aiming at a ‘showcase’ to include young learners from year 7 upwards (or even younger from primary education) through to year 11’s whose level of attainment is already setting them on the path to a musical career . Anyone who may be in any doubt as to someone they may have in mind , then please get in touch and have a chat with either of us.

We look forward to getting nominations back from as many of you as possible

Kind regards

District organisers: John Hall (Amber Valley ) and Terry Clay (Melbourne)

Church Wilne 9th Annual Horse Ride

Posted by on September 29, 2014

Once again the weather was kind to us, in fact with the lack of recent rain the fields were quite hard under hoof but the horses appeared to have no problems. As usual the local farmers deserve a big thank you for letting us form a ride through an area not usually available to the public.

In all 222 horses rode the course of which 64 entered on the day and we were pleased to have 72 marshals which contributed to the smooth running of the event. £148 was collected in buckets at the car park and £130 came from sales at the Beer tent.
All proceeds, £8,000 in total, will go to the Children’s and Derbyshire Air Ambulance split 50/50.

St Georges Day Celebration – Wednesday 23 April 2014

Posted by on April 8, 2014

Rotary Clubs in the Chesterfield area are set to celebrate St Georges Day with a special dinner in honour of England’s patron saint.

This social event is being held at Chesterfield FC’s Proact Stadium on St Georges Day itself, which is Wednesday 23 April 2014, 7.00pm for 7.30pm.

A traditional English meal of soup, roast beef, apple pie, cheeseboard of English cheeses, and coffee, also includes the historic ‘Ceremony of the Roast Beef’, which dates back to medieval times. As well as the toast to England and St George, there will also be an Englishness table quiz, mystery entertainment, and a good old singalong of English anthems.

Rotarians, their partners, friends, and Inner Wheel members, from ten local Rotary Clubs in North Derbyshire are joining together in this national day of celebration for our great country – England.

Lead organiser, past-president Geoff Mitchell of the Rotary Club of Chesterfield, said: “The Irish, the Scots, and the Welsh quite rightly all have their own national celebrations but for some reason the English seem a bit reticent about celebrating Englishness.”

St Georges Day 2014

He continued: “This year we are doing our bit to ‘raise the flag’ and hope that others will join in with their own national celebrations that could even extend the patriotic spirit through into the summer in support of the England footballers at the World Cup in Brazil.”

Tickets for the Rotary event cost £25 per head – dress is lounge suits. An allocation of tickets has been set aside for non-rotarians who are very welcome to attend – contact Geoff Mitchell via email at chesterfieldrotary@hotmail.co.uk

Carsington Walk for Polio

Posted by on April 7, 2014

HELP ERADICATE POLIO WORLDWIDE

JOIN US ON A WALK ROUND CARSINGTON WATER ON

SUNDAY 27th APRIL

The Rotary Club of Wirksworth is organising this event for the eighth year and, with the help of our friends and supporters, are hoping it will be the most successful yet.

It’s a seven and a half mile walk around Carsington Water, starting at the Visitor Centre between 9.30 and 10.30 am.  After 6 miles there’s a service point where water is available and transport back to the Visitor Centre for any who find the full circuit a bit too much.

It’s an opportunity for walkers to have a leisurely walk and enjoy the wonderful views, wild flowers and wildlife at their best in late April.  There’s an information sheet for all walkers identifying points of interest to look out for during the walk.

This is a family event so bring your children who will be presented with a medal when they complete the walk.  The weather has varied from lovely and sunny to wintry in past years but walkers have always enjoyed themselves.

We hope this year’s, weather will be marvellous so please make a note of the date and come along to support us and help raise much needed money for this important charity.

You can just turn up on the day and make a donation but we hope that you will get friends, family and neighbours to sponsor you.

Ring 01629 56305 for a sponsorship form or print a copy from our web site at: www.wirksworthrotary.org

Money raised by the walk this year will go to Polio Plus and any money raised by Rotary Clubs taking part can be treated as their own contribution to this fund provided they let us know how much has been raised so we can assess the success of the event.
