 Schools & Wells An evening of live acoustical music. Buxton Village Hall. Friday November 19th 7:30pm £3:00 |
|
Do you enjoy live, acoustic music? If so, come along to Buxton Village Hall on
November 19th, at 7.30pm, where you will find various local performers putting on
some unplugged entertainment in aid of UK Charity EveryChild. EveryChild work with children & communities worldwide, to ensure that every child has the right to an education, healthcare, and to grow up in a loving family environment with a secure future. Take Malawi for example: many people have never heard of this small country, sandwiched between Mozambique, Zambia and Tanzania, because there are no wars, no refugee camps and no newsreel pictures of dying children. Yet Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world: average life expectancy is just 37 years; infant mortality is over 11%; almost half the population is under 15, because so many of the 20-40 year olds the mums and the dads are being killed by HIV/AIDS. For several years, Buxton couple Bob & Viv Goddard have sponsored a little Malawian girl called Tamala, through EveryChild. This summer, they went to Malawi to see how their money is being spent, and whether it’s making a permanent difference in the lives of Tamala and her friends. They were hugely impressed by the work being done by the locals for themselves, with the help of EveryChild. Inspired by what can be achieved with relatively small sums, Bob & Viv came home determined to do more: to fund a new school building in Tamala’s village; and to drill a new borehole & fit a pump for the local pre-school to save the toddlers, teachers and mums having to carry their drinking water 3 miles every day on buckets on their heads. And that’s where our Acoustic Music Evening comes in. The line up includes Norwich singer-songwriter Simon Middleton, Norwich-based band Raccoon, and Buxton Covers Band Big Sister. The music will be a mixture of cover versions of artists such as Bob Dylan, Tracey Chapman, Dido, Avril Lavigne, and some of the artists’ own songs. And somewhere in the middle of all that, Bob will tell us more about his and Viv’s trip to Malawi. Teas, Coffees, and Cakes will also be on sale between sets. |
|
Tickets are priced at £3.00. 100% of the proceeds will go towards the charity, and tickets are on sale from Powell’s Country Stores in Buxton or available on the door on the night (subject to availability). We’d love to see you there, so come along, have a good time, and help us make a difference! |

Colt Bowl in association with RAF Coltishall Youth Bowling Club present The 5th Annual Christmas Handicap Adult-Junior Scotch Doubles Re-entry Tournament! Sounds complicated doesen't it but really it isn't. It is set up as a fun tournament with a bit of a competitive edge to it. Qualifying is on 29th or 30th November or 6th or 7th December. We hope to start with 48 teams of one bowler over 18 and one under 18 who will bowl 6 games of scotch doubles. After this there is a cut - the top 2 go straight to the round robin final, whilst positions 3 to 26 take part in knock out rounds to get them down to 6 who join the others in the final. Entry fee is £16.00p for which you could end up bowling 17 games. There is a little prize money and some doody trophies to win at the finals weekend on 13th and 14th December. |

THE BUXTON GANG SHOW Friday 16th and Saturday 17th November. Buxton Primary School. 7:30 pm Buxton Primary School is due to echo to the strains of "Riding Along on the Crest of a Wave" and other familiar songs as the local Brownies, Guides, Beavers, Cubs and Sea Scouts of Buxton, Coltishall and RAF Coltishall "gang" together with Buxton Youth Football Club for an evening of entertainment on Friday 16th and Saturday 17th November. This biannual event starts at 7.30 p.m. and tickets are available from Powell's Country Stores in Buxton, Vereen Marcer on 01603 279457 or Tricia Baker on 01603 278013 priced £3 for adults and £1 for children and if previous concerts are anything to go by don't leave it till the last minute to buy your ticket! Proceeds from the Gang Show will go towards the new Youth Hall project in Buxton which is due to proceed shortly now that the land has been acquired by BALAY and the local Parish Council - the culmination of much hard work by the B.A.L.A.Y. Committee (Buxton and Lammas Area Youth) over the last nine years in raising not only money but the profile of this much needed asset. STOP PRESS - Dress rehearsal held Friday 9th confirms that we are in for another entertaining Show and this year the content is very much the children's choice. Some items also portray their concern for peace throughout the world which is what the family of Scouting and Guiding has been promoting for nearly a century!
