SMILE Annual Concert: 3rd September 2011 Calver Village Hall.
    We're giving you plenty of notice so don't go organising anything for the evening of Saturday September 3rd 2011. It's the night of our Annual Concert at Calver Village Hall. With a bit of luck we won’t have snow and ice, but that didn’t stop you last time and because they were brilliant, we are delighted that The Cottontown Chorus will be coming back. We’ve got 2 young local bands to accompany them on the bill. So don’t go arranging anything, as you'll be getting big city entertainment right on your door step

Each year Carolyn, our Queen of Cryptic, produces 2 quizzes. One to coincide with Well Dressing and one at Christmas.
The quiz is our biggest revenue earner and sells far and wide. We send our quizzes to regulars from Scotland to Essex and the South East.
The next quiz is brewing so I'll let you know when it hits the streets!

Be a part of our successful team. Join SMILE and help us achieve our goals. We meet on the last thursday of each month at 7.30pm for a couple of hours. We're currently looking for a Treasurer. Don't be shy!!!

Village Day is fast approaching and we're hoping to make it bigger and better than previous years.We've already confirmed "Behind the Mask" a local band who will be playing live. We will have Village Day  favourites such as the tombola, burger bar, tea tent with delicious home made cakes and bouncy castles. This year we've also got a stall from "Sparkling Ladies" selling eye-catching and affordable jewellery and a stall selling very affordable designer-style handbags. If you want to have a stall at Village Day you can, it's easy. Just £5 buys your pitch! Bring a table, chair and start selling. In line with our misson to interest & educate we're very pleased to announce that Derbyshire County Council's Recycling Roadshow will be with us this year. They will answer your questions on recycling and have a range of articles made from recycled materials.
