Jane Harris – Thank You
Posted in 2011, People, Posts of Note on Sunday June 26, 2011| Leave a Comment »
Jane Harris moved to Ashbourne last week, after 36 years in the village. With her ex-husband Peter she had her three children Penny, Phillipa and Katie. She has always been a vital and active member of the community. In the early years when her children were small she always worked enthusiastically in any activities that involved her children, ran stalls for school events, helped out at Guides and Brownies and was always ready to volunteer whenever help might be needed.
Jane has battled against continuing ill-health with stoicism and cheerfulness. As a single parent her children and then grandchildren have been the hub of her life, but she still found the energy to run the bar at the British Legion, to be a school govenor and to take her role as Parish Councillor and then Chairman of the Parish Council very seriously. When there was no-one to clean the village toilets, she kept them open for two years by cleaning them voluntarily – typical of Jane’s community spiritedness. One of her great achievements has been her energetic involvement in the building of the new Memorial Hall and despite her many commitments she would still find time to deliver leaflets and newsletters to keep everyone informed.
Jane Harris will be greatly missed, although surely she will be a regular visitor to the village. Best Wishes to Jane for her new life in her new home.
Free! Beginners Running Group – Tuesday
Posted in Sport on Sunday June 26, 2011| Leave a Comment »
FREE! BEGINNERS RUNNING GROUP
10-Week Programme Starting 6pm June 28th Leisure Centre
Then every Tuesday 6-7pm
- New to running?
- Want to get back into training after a layoff?
- Want to get past the walk-job stage?
- Why not join our 10 week beginners programme?
Running is a great way to get and keep fit in its own right or to be able to enjoy other sports. However many people are intimidated by ‘proper runners’ in all the gear or give up after aches and no-one to run with…!
Ashbourne Running Club (ARC) is an inclusive club catering for all abilities but recognise that a bridge is needed between occasional jogging and running regularly for enjoyment. We have successfully put on our walk-run beginners programme every couple of years and aim to get everyone to a level where they can enter the Ashbourne 3.5 Mile Fun Run on 11th September.
It is organised and supported by ARC and led by club member Mark Allen who is a Level 3 Registered Exercise Professional (REP).
Don’t worry if you can’t make all 10weeks, just come when you can….
Why not bring your friends and give it a try? Look forward to seeing you at the Leisure Centre on Tuesday 28th June at 6pm.
Parwich Bowls Club
Posted in Bowls, Societies, Sport on Sunday June 26, 2011| Leave a Comment »
A much better result in one league, but not so good in the other!
Tuesday league – 21 June – Home – Matlock Golf Club.
A lot better consistency this week against a team who we very often struggle against. The outcome this match however was never in doubt after the first two games which we won convincingly. The next two games we shared one each with the final match score being 79 to Parwich and 57 to the Golf Club. With this result we moved up to third in the league. Believe it or not that brings us to the half way point in the league with the reverse fixtures starting next week.
Next match 28 June – Away – Matlock Golf Club.
This is a lovely venue to play at, although we never do very well! Today’s match was no exception. We were soundly beaten in the three doubles games and although we shared the six singles games three each unfortunately our points scored in the games we lost were much less than Bradwell’s. The match result therefore gave us our lowest score of the season. Final score was 94 to 137. We had dropped down to fifth in the league following last weeks low score and unfortunately we fall even further after this week.
Next match 30 June – Home – Baslow A.
A club competition this Sunday, ‘open doubles’. The weather forecast looks good, so what could be better than rolling a few ‘woods’ around on a Sunday afternoon. Great.
Don’t forget Monday nights 6.30.

Flaxdale Garden & Art Exhibition 18th June – A big thank you
Mike & Gill R would like to thank all those who visited our gardens and the exhibition of paintings on Saturday and helped to make it possible to contribute over £900 towards the charity, Derwent Rural Counselling Service. We could not have achieved this without the very generous support of the many helpers who gave their time both before the event, baking cakes and chocolate brownies, supplying books, bric a brac and plants for sale, distributing leaflets and posters, donating prizes for the raffle, lending us a ‘Burco’ boiler, and on the day welcoming visitors at the gate, serving refreshments and running the stalls and helping Gill in the exhibition. We must also add a special thank you to Jane B and the ‘blog’ for posting notices and timely reminders and pleas for help with bric a brac and a boiler. The weather was not kind to us, so in the circumstances we did well to welcome over 70 visitors who were so generous in their appreciation of the gardens and paintings and their giving to the charity. You have all helped in such a good cause, thank you so much, Mike & Gill.

Searching for Ratty in the Bletch Brook Valley
Posted in Environment, Events, Peak Park, Walks & Rides on Thursday June 23, 2011| Leave a Comment »
A free guided walk through wildflower-rich hay-meadows, and the chance to search for the elusive “Ratty”, is on offer on Monday July 4th in the Bletch Brook Valley, between Parwich and Tissington.
Peak District National Park ecologists and experts from the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust will lead the walk, looking out for rare species including the water vole, known as “Ratty” in Kenneth Grahame’s Wind in the Willows. One of the UK’s most threatened species, the water vole has disappeared from 90 per cent of sites it occupied over the last 60 years. But it does survive in pockets of the Peak District National Park – including the Bletch Brook Valley.
The two-hour walk starts from two meeting places, both at 6.30pm on July 4: outside the Sycamore Inn in Parwich, and in front of Hand’s Well in Tissington. There is no need to book. Dogs should be on leads. If you have any questions, please call 01298 84992.
Pilates for Parwich
Posted in 2011, News, Pilates, Posts of Note on Thursday June 23, 2011| Leave a Comment »
In this week’s Ashbourne News Telegraph, there’s a feature on the work of “Parwich Fit 4 All”. Here’s a copy of their original press release.
Parwich Fit 4 All are celebrating a grant of £500 from the John Weston Fund, administered by Derbyshire Community Foundation, to help subsidise Pilates exercise classes in the village.
For many years there has been a self-funding adult Pilates class and the participants were keen to extend the benefits to the younger and older residents of the village. Parwich Fit 4 All was established last year to apply for funding to subsidise classes for 11-18 year olds and Over 60’s.
Initial donations came from the Parwich and District Horticultural Society, Parwich United Charities and a grant from the Derbyshire Dales CVS Health Development Fund. The John Weston grant, together with a private donation, will enable the classes to run for the rest of the year.
The teachers are both trained by the Pilates Foundation UK. Georgie Barnes, who teaches the teenagers, specialises in equine and sports specific Pilates. ‘ I really enjoy teaching the kids Pilates, helping them to obtain better propreception and core stability, relating to their specific sports’ Georgie says.
Tricia Durdey, the Over 60’s teacher, runs classes in Ashbourne and Wirksworth and has considerable experience of teaching older people and running ‘Falls prevention’ classes. She says ‘I love working with my group of women. They are so enthusiastic and work very hard to improve strength, posture and fitness. I noticed a difference after only a month of working together. I know many of them feel the benefits too – from increased mobility, physical confidence and balance, to diminishing ‘bingo wings’!
After their class, the Over 60’s enjoy a chat over tea and cake provided by Val Kirkham of Catering4Parwich.

Parwich Open Gardens – Photo Gallery
Posted in 2011, Flora, Gardens, Photography, Posts of Note on Sunday June 19, 2011| 2 Comments »
This year, eighteen Parwich gardens opened their doors to visitors – and with the rain thankfully holding off, this turned out to be another very successful event.
As well as the various horticultural delights, villagers and visitors alike got to enjoy the splendid children’s show in the Memorial Hall, along with delicious cream teas and a plant sale. Elsewhere, the Flaxdale art exhibition and bric-a-brac sale continued for a second day, as did Lewis Noble’s open studio. The school held an open day, Hayley Powell staged a blacksmithing display at The Barn, The A52s played a gig at Rookery House, and a talented vocal troupe, Terra Nova School Staff Choir, staged impromptu recitals at various locations round the village. The day finished with a Father’s Day barbecue at the Legion, while the Horticultural Society laid on a “thank you” buffet for weary and grateful exhibitors at the hall.
Hot off the presses, here’s a gallery of all eighteen gardens, accompanied by Lynette and John’s colourful and creative signage. As always, these photos will look so much better if they are enlarged; click on each image for a bigger version.

What will I become?

Thank you to Rebecca for identifying this colourful caterpillar…
I know what this is from bitter experience, a mullein moth, or will be, but not in my garden as I have declared war on them. If you want to see what they do to verbascum leaves pop by.
The following information comes from the Gardeners World website
The mullein moth, Cucullia verbasci, lays its eggs on verbascum, buddleia and figwort at the end of spring. Shortly after, from late spring to midsummer, the caterpillars demolish the foliage. Bad infestations can actually strip a plant. They then hide in the soil to pupate.
Solution Organic
The bright yellow and black caterpillars are easy to spot as they crawl across the leaves, and can be picked off by hand.
Chemical
The moment you spot an infestation, spray them with bifenthrin or pyrethrum. If the plants are in flower, spray in the evening, so pollinating insects aren’t affected.

Oh dear not at all good this week. Two losses.
Tuesday league
9 June – Away – Whitworth Park.
Really strange match this. Both teams won two games each, but we each had extreme highs and extreme lows in the games. As a result the match scores were very low for both teams. Whitworth just coming out on top 58 points to 55. Having been up to the giddy heights of second in the league and dropping to fourth, although we did not score many points we have still managed to stay fourth.
Next match 21 June – Home – Matlock Golf Club.
Thursday Friendly league.
16 June – Away – Matlock Bath.
As mentioned before this is a most peculiar green. Shaped a bit like a fifty pence piece and almost as small. Anyway we did very well in the double games. Winning two and only narrowly losing the third. Thank goodness we did for we ‘bombed’ in the six singles games, winning only one. Having said that because we managed to score heavily in the doubles we did get 111 points in all to 122 for Matlock. We had risen to fourth in the league, but this result will no doubt drop us a place or two.
Next match 23 June – Away – Bradwell A.
No friendly or club games this weekend, open gardens takes pride of place. Go along to see how much hard work has been put in.
Don’t forget Monday nights 6.30.

On Tuesday 17th May Robert Gosling of Hill Top Farm organised an open exhibition regarding his proposals for a wind turbine to be located at his farm. He originally sent a letter into Parwich.org explaining the reasoning behind this plan.
This post is the reply from Robert Gosling to questions raised on Parwich.org and also to questionnaire responses.
1. Can we see the other photomontage locations?
We used a selection which gave a representative view. All
photomontages are below with the map showing the relative
positions.

Bric-à-brac
If anyone has any suitable items that would otherwise go to a charity shop, we could put them on our bric-à-brac stall tomorrow. Any unsold items will be sent to a charity shop. Do call us on 390433 if you can help.
Flaxdale Garden and Art Exhibition – Tomorrow – 10am to 6pm
Every year we make a great effort to try and get our gardens presentable for visitors to the village on Open Gardens day. This year we have decided to make the most of all our hard work and open our garden the day before Open Gardens day as well, i.e. on June 18th, to help raise funds for the DRCS, a local charity.
In the current climate DRCS (Derwent Rural Counselling Service) like many other charities, is finding it increasingly hard to make ends meet and risks having to cut the service it offers local people. We do hope you will be able to come, any time between 10am and 6pm to enjoy yourselves and at the same time enable DRCS to keep on with its good work supporting people in the area.
There will be an exhibition of original paintings by Gill, Gill Evans, Dorothy Littlewood, Evie Burlinson and Janis Castledine, who have all very kindly agreed to donate 25% of any sales to the charity. In addition we will have stalls for bric-à-brac, books and plants. There will also be a raffle. (more…)
