Local Group Discussion

:confused:Local Group Discussion - this is what the title says and yet all the messages here relate to the Film Society?

Are there no other groups in Wirksworth?;)

The problem with all the groups in the town is we're all beavering away to make things happen and sometimes we forget to shout about them enough...look at this weekend:

Yes, I've seen the list of groups on wirksworth.net, but why don't they join in the discussion on the forum? For instance, I'd like to know more about Sustainable Wirksworth....what do they do? And what has happened to Wirksworth in Bloom? And then there are the Carnival, Well Dressings, Festival.
I see there is a Comedy Evening tomorrow night at the Red Lion. Is this a re-start of the Comedy Club? Let's hear from you all!

NOW sends its hearty congratulations to the Fairtrade Group and wishes it all the very best for the celebrations on Saturday.

NOW also reminds everyone about the launch of the Urban Art project at the Community Park on Saturday at 1.0 pm.

NOW announces the launch of the Urban Art project at the Community Park on Saturday 7 March has been postponed! Sorry to disappoint....but watch out for further information.

There is still the Farmers' Market to visit in the morning....!!
