Love it or hate it, Parwich does “Trick or Treat” well, it is good-natured and friendly. Tonight there was a real buzz in the air, you could hear children’s voices full of excitement and their footsteps echoing up the path. Lots of effort had been put into the costumes and the enthusiasm of the children was matched by their readiness to say thank you.
Lots more photos – to enlarge just click on the photo. (more…)

Boots is home.

Marion & John F-S are extremely relieved that “Boots” has returned. Whilst they were away at the weekend Boots, their cat went missing.
Janet B had been hunting high and low and so had lots of other kind people, so the F-S’s would like to let them know that all is well, and to say a big thank you for their help and concern.
Let there be Light
Posted in 2011, Catering 4 Parwich, Church, Crafts, Memorial hall, Posts of Note, Young people on Monday October 31, 2011| Leave a Comment »
Let There Be Light, a children’s event celebrating God’s creation, organised by Revd Andy Larkin, took place today in the Memorial Hall. Thirty eight children attended and enjoyed activities including a shadow theatre, an ultra-violet light filled maze, decorating gingerbread people, producing a full size decorated image of themselves and a huge joint piece of art celebrating the creation story from the Bible.
The parents enjoyed the excellent cafe provided by Catering 4 Parwich. The only problem was how to get the huge painting into the church, when it was finished! As the children left, they were each given a light stick. To see all the photo’s check out the Peak Five facebook page. A video will be posted soon.
“Thank you all who worked so hard with the planning, organisation and delivery. Especially the parents who unexpectedly found themselves being helpers to cope with the number of children (you know who you are!). Thanks also to all of you who came and supported the event and helped to make it such a great morning. Revd Andy Larkin.”

It’s The Monster Mosh
Posted in A52s, British Legion, Events, Music on Saturday October 29, 2011| 1 Comment »
It is with some relief to us all that The A52s are now unable to play at The Legion this evening – Saturday 29th October at 8.30pm. Apparently they are all too scared of Hallowe’en.
However we have some good news! In their place, The Legion have secured at last minute the services of Dexy’s Chainsaw Massacre – another local band sounding remarkably like The A52s. They are much more scary than our familiar bunch of lads but still drink as much beer.
The band hope to see you there this Saturday evening. Be there and be scared!

Clocks change tonight
Posted in Services on Saturday October 29, 2011| Leave a Comment »
Tonight at 2am the clocks will change, so remember to move your alarm clock back one hour. The advantage is that you can have an extra hour in bed but the downside is that the sun will set before five and it will be dark by 5.30pm.

New Councillor Needed
Posted in Parish Council on Tuesday October 25, 2011| Leave a Comment »
Your Parish Council Needs You!
Are you interested in serving your local community? If so, there is now a perfect opportunity for you to join the Parish Council. As a result of the last uncontested election, there are currently six parish councillors and the Parish Council now needs to co-opt one more person to fill the remaining vacant post to bring the council up to its maximum of seven councillors.
The Parish Council meets monthly, except in August & December (although there is a meeting this December). Discussions are lively and varied, as the Parish Council has a very wide and growing range of responsibilities and interests. This includes the management of the parish land – greens and ponds, the provision of play and recreation facilities, toilets etc. It also is involved in supporting local initiatives through participation and on occasion providing grants. Another important aspect of Parish Council work is engaging in consultation on all local planning matters.
If you are interested, then the Parish Council really wants to hear from you. Please apply in writing, explaining briefly why you would want to join the Parish Council team.

Derbyshire police launches new 101 non-emergency number
Posted in Police on Monday October 24, 2011| Leave a Comment »
Today Derbyshire police launched a new telephone number which will make it easier for people to get in touch with the force about issues that do not need an emergency response. So ring 101 instead of 0345 123 33 33, the old non-emergency number.
It is part of a national drive to make it easier for people to contact police to report crime and disorder, with all forces using the number by the end of this year.
While 999 is a well recognised number to report emergencies, that is when a crime is happening, when someone suspected of a crime is nearby or where someone is injured, being threatened or in danger.
most people couldn’t remember the non emergency number.
By calling 101, you will be able to speak to the police force control room of your local police service. Calls from landlines and mobile networks cost 15 pence per call, no matter what time of day you call or how long you are on the phone.
You should use 101 to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response. For example:
– if your car has been stolen;
– if your property has been damaged;
– where you suspect drug use or dealing;
– if you want to report a minor traffic collision;
– if you want to give the police information about crime in your area;
– if you want to speak to your local officers; or
– general enquiries.
Deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired callers can access the service via textphone on 18001 101.
It is hoped that 101 will reduce the number of inappropriate 999 calls, allowing the force to respond to emergencies more effectively. Between April 1 and September 30, Derbyshire police answered 462,423 calls. Of these, 70,520 were emergency calls and 391,903 were non-emergency calls.

The Parwich Village Wall Hanging
Posted in 2011, Church, Crafts, Posts of Note, School on Sunday October 16, 2011| Leave a Comment »
For over a year, a dedicated band of Parwich embroiderers and other craftspeople have been working on a special representation of the village. Inspired by Gill S and assisted by Ann K, ten talented people have spent many hours embroidering the landmarks, buildings and inhabitants of Parwich. The project’s aim was to provide people with a chance to meet up and work on something together as a community.
This morning, the wall hanging was unveiled by Rev Andy Larkin at a special church service. Andy made the connection between the threads woven into the fabric and the threads of our community, stressing we are all stronger through our collective interaction and support for each other.
