SANTA'S VISIT TO TANSLEY A BIG
SUCCESS! |
 | |
|
Sarah and Neil
Green, who (in conjunction with Peak Vale Tractor
Pulling Club) organised Santa's visit to Tansley on 21st
December, say the event went very
well.
Sarah says: "Lots of children came
out to see Santa and 'Jake the Reindeer'. At least it
wasn't as cold as last year! A family who had just moved
into the village thought it was
fantastic."
The visit raised £203 in total,
to be split between Tansley Village Hall and Tansley
School.
Thank you to everyone who helped
and/or
participated.

PARISH COUNCIL
GIVES A FURTHER £5,000 TO TANSLEY VILLAGE
HALL
|
|
Tansley Parish
Council, at its public meeting on 19th October,
generously awarded a further £5,000 to help towards the
cost of renovating the interior of the main hall for the
benefit of our community. This work includes a new
double-glazed window, re-painting the ceiling,
re-plastering and re-painting the walls, woodwork,
radiators and doors, fitting new curtains and renovating
the floor.
Chris Knightley, Secretary of the Village Hall
Committee said: "Once this is done we plan to replace
all the remaining windows, decorate the remaining rooms
and replace the upper room's roof. As all this work is
likely to cost around £55,000, there is still much
fund-raising to do to make it possible. Our next
fund-raising event is a Quiz kindly organised by our
chairman, Jean Peters, to be held on 19th November.
Please come to enjoy yourselves and to support us on
that evening. For details, please see here."

An Enthralling Performance by Kel
Elliott
& Her Band
Report by Chris
Knightley | |
|
On
Saturday night, 22nd October 2011, Tansley Village Hall staged a sell-out Live &
Local show by Kel Elliott
and her band - Kelvin on guitar, Leo on keys, Tom on
drums and Kel herself playing double-bass as well as
singing.
They enthralled our audience - seated cosily
around candlelit tables - with songs and music from
their debut album How Could I Resist and from the
CD they are currently recording, along with some
brilliant renditions of well-known numbers by artists
such as Nina Simone.
The opening song, Valentines Day, written
by Kel, set off the evening with a buzz. Feet were
tapping from the start and the performance continued
with lots of variety and changes of tempo. Kel's soft
but strong voice, her amusing anecdotes and the band’s
great musicianship kept us captivated throughout the
90-minute show. Take a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2SjVWp3RSE for a taste of what we
enjoyed.
The
bar was well-visited before the show, during the
interval and after the exciting finale while the band
chatted with the audience, keen to acquire CDs. The
barrel of Roaring Meg was emptied as were many bottles
of French country wine!
We
now look forward to our next show in The Village Hall -
the brilliant Old Dance School
Band, on 25th February
2012.

FROM HERE TO
ABSURDITY IN TANSLEY VILLAGE HALL
Sell-out
performance wins whistles of approval, &
applause
Report by Chris
Knightley |
|
|
|
Tansley Village Hall staged a sell-out
performance of From Here To Absurdity on Saturday night,
2nd April. The show comprised around thirty short
satirical sketches, bringing laughter, applause and
whistles of approval from the audience while they sipped
their real ale, wine or soft drinks collected from the
bar before the show and during the interval. The room's
cabaret-style layout, with groups of four to six seated
around candle-lit, burgundy clothed tables, had a warm
and intimate atmosphere.
Performers Richard Kelly, Lucy Simons
and Ashley Hearn gave an excellent 90 minutes of their
original wit, satire and songs, some of which had a
definite (but we hope inoffensive) adult theme, tested
at The Edinburgh Fringe and now on tour, mainly in rural
venues. During one sketch, 'Nelson' and 'Hardy'
discussed many aspects of a modern navy, including it
not being homophobic - and then proved it with the
famous kiss. We also heard a football style match review
of the Battle Of Hastings as well as the ludicrous
demands of a son to take custody of his difficult dad
from his mum!
The show followed the hall's highly
successful concert by Ashley Hutchings, Steve Nicol and
Becky Mills last November. Both events brought
high-class professional shows to Tansley for local
people to enjoy on their doorsteps. Thanks to the
popularity of Saturday night's show, deliberately priced
affordably at only £6/ticket, the effort put in by the
village hall organisers in running the show, raffle and
bar produced a good profit to go towards the funds being
raised for the new roof planned this
summer.

"OLIVER" |
|
|
|
Tansley Primary
School performed their version of the
Dickens' story Oliver Twist

This was a fitting
end to a term spent studying the Victorians, finding out
in particular what life was like for the very poor.
