A515 temporary closure into Ashbourne
Posted in Roads on Thursday July 29, 2010| 1 Comment »
The A515 is closed south of the Bentley Brook going into Ashbourne from about 7pm to 5am for resurfacing. We’d missed seeing the advance warning signs and at that stage it can be a real pain, so use the Bradbourne route to Ashbourne. Work is scheduled to finish by Monday.
There are also traffic lights back on the B5056, it looks like they are putting fencing up on the north side of the road, maybe it will stop the sheep roaming onto the road.
Any updates are welcome.
Early risers enjoy the sun

White Van – can you help?
Posted in Police on Friday July 23, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Any sightings of a white Ford transit van, registration number similar to Y217VGE, with the occupants touting for scrap metal in the Derbyshire Dales area 21/7/10, please contact the police on 0345 123 33 33, quoting incident number: 359 of 21.7.10. Officers can then check the vehicle/occupants to see if they have the relevant documentation.
Please note that churches in our area are still being targeted for their lead.
Families can step back in time at Magpie Mine – Saturday July 31
Posted in Events, Out & About, Peak Park, Young people on Thursday July 22, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Children can try being a lead miner, meet characters from the past, and enjoy things that go boom, bang or squelch at a free archaeological family fun day at the 270-year-old Magpie Mine, Sheldon, on Saturday July 31, 10.30am-3pm.
Peak District National Park rangers and the Peak District Mines Historical Society are staging “Magpie Mayhem,” with activities for adults and children alike.
The event is part of the Festival of British Archaeology and National Parks Week, and will include a guided tour of the site by the National Park’s senior survey archaeologist, John Barnatt.
The Peak District Mines Historical Society, which owns and manages Magpie Mine, will display scale models and genuine mining artefacts to help explain the archaeology and will talk about their work on site.
National Park area ranger Lynn Burrow said: “Magpie Mine has a really colourful history, including conflict and tragedy in the 1830s as rival groups of miners tried to smoke each other out. We’ll be helping families explore their local history with an interactive discovery trail, and children can become a lead miner, meet historical characters, make “bradder” hats and enjoy games and activities. Families can bring a picnic and make a day of it.”
No need to book, just turn up on the day. Magpie Mine is a mile or so from Monyash, so about 20 minutes from Parwich.
Summer Pilates
Posted in Sport on Thursday July 22, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Pilates is continuing over the summer school holidays on 28th July, 11th August, 18th August and 1st September from 6.30pm – 7.30pm in the Memorial Hall. Please note there will be no classes on 4th or 25th August. The cost is £6.50 per session payable at the class.
…..
Normally we pay in advance for a half termly block so this is a really good opportunity for anyone wanting to try it out, to go to a few classes without committing themslves to a whole block.
…..
The autumn term classes will start on 8th September. It may be that we now have sufficient numbers to go back to 2 classes in the autumn, so if you are interested in starting then please could you let me know. For all enquiries over the holidays please contact Georgie directly on 07976 254 887.
Thanks Rebecca 318

Ring returned after some 30 years
Posted in 2010, People, Posts of Note on Sunday July 18, 2010| 3 Comments »
Earlier this year Ian Pitts, metal detecting in Hallcliffe garden, found a small gold signet ring. With the date from the hallmarks I started ringing round the previous occupants of the house.
Today the ring was taken to Malcolm and Ruth in Alstonfield, who confirmed it had been made for Ruth by her parents out of gold from the wedding rings of both her grandmothers. The ring was inscribed with Ruth’s initials, but these are very worn and only identifiable under a magnifying glass. Their oldest son particularly remembers how distressed his mother was when the ring was lost. Certainly she was pleased to get it back after some 25 to 30 years.

The Summer Music
Posted in 2010, Church, Music, Posts of Note on Friday July 16, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Thank you to John F-S for these photos taken at last Saturday’s concert by the de Parys Trio (Eric Hill on guitar, Jill Hughes on flute and Martin Hughes on violin).
With a range of music, including Bach, Gluck, Paganini, Carulli, Rossini and others, there was something for everyone from classical through romantic to tango and jazz. Though numbers were a little down on last year the evening could hardly have been better. The only fly in the ointment was a potential clash with the musical neighbours, but they generously suspended activity ’til the concert was over.

More mixed fortunes for the bowls
Posted in Bowls, Sport on Friday July 16, 2010| Leave a Comment »
PARWICH BOWLS CLUB – Week commencing 12 July 2010.
Mixed fortunes again this week. One win one loss.
Tuesday League – Away – Hathersage.
On occasions you have to confess that playing bowls when it is heaving it down with rain and blowing a gale is not necessarily the best pastime. This was such an occasion. It was not pleasant!!
We had lost to Hathersage at home earlier in the season and we were not looking forward to the reverse fixture. We should not have worried. We won by 80 to 62, which was, all bar one point, the exact opposite of the loss we suffered at home.
Next match – Home – Whitwirth Park – 20 July – 6.30
Thursday League – Home – Lafarge Cement Hope.
Even though we lost we gave a reasonable account of ourselves. Lafarge are a lot higher in the league than us and a much bigger club.
We won one out of the three doubles games and shared the singles three games each. However the games Lafarge won were won by a greater margin and the final score was 112 to 131.
Next match –Away – Matlock Park – 22 July. 1.30 ish.
You are still allowed to come along to the green. It is better than going to the dentist! And it does not cost a thing.
We are having a club tournament on Sunday called a ‘Square Robin’ come and have a look. We will be on the green at around 10.30 am.

Summer Recess Update from our MEP
Posted in Opinion on Thursday July 15, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Bill Newton Dunn our MEP has emailed in his report for work carried out in the European Parliament. As any of us may not be aware of what our MEP’s do, you might like to read on.
Just to let you know that the European Parliament stops work at the end of this week. It will re-meet in Brussels on Monday 30th August. I expect to remain in the UK – so, if needed, can be reached at bill.newtondunn@europarl.europa.eu
The parliament’s work for the past six months has principally been about putting into effect the Lisbon Treaty (which came into effect in December).
In February, the new team of Commissioners took office. One of them, Baroness Ashton, was appointed High Representative for Foreign Affairs and has set about vigorously setting up the new “EU External Action Service” with EU embassies in most capitals of the world, to be staffed half by Commission officials, half by seconded national officials.
In March, MEPs threw out the “SWIFT” treaty. This had been agreed by the 27 national governments – whereby they would hand over to the US government access to all Europeans’ bank accounts – without any reciprocal arrangement for us to see into American bank accounts. MEPs shocked the governments and Washington by using new Lisbon powers to reject international treaties. “SWIFT” has been renegotiated, with much stronger safeguards for Europeans, and MEPs passed it last week.
The economic crisis continues. As always, Europe moves forward after a crisis, and this will result in stronger economic powers for Brussels. Britain – with its huge budget deficit – is in no position to gloat.
Have a good summer !Bill
