    DVO Ceilidh and Awards evening – change of date

    13/01/2022

    This was originally arranged for Saturday 12 February but we have heard that it is likely the Compass Sport Cup heat will be on Sunday !3 February – at some distance away. We have therefore decided to change the date of the ceilidh to Saturday 5 February, still at the Town Hall, Wirksworth from 6pm to 9.30pm, with the Rum Ram Ruff ceilidh band. Please save the date and more details will follow in the New Year.
