This is a fine web-site, well designed, pleasing to the eye and easy to navigate. It contains a wealth of information, about the unique village that is Parwich. It certainly has the chance to become a definitive source of all things Parwich.
Thanks Mike!
I love the blog, and particularly love the photo’s of our beautiful village. Please put on lots more if you can…..
This email has just come in.
Hi all!
Congratulations on a fantastic web site. I’ve looked at a lot of village web sites as part of research I’ve done for the Volunteer Centre – and the Parwich site is absolutely OUTSTANDING! Well laid out, great links – well done one an all. What a fab village we live in – we are so lucky!

Does anyone know all the answers to the school’s Film Titles quiz? Igot about half after many hours of research! I can’t believe anyone managed to get them all.
Can’t believe we’re gonna hit 10,000 page views before the weekend! – wooooo hooooo!!!
7 weeks later and we have topped 30,000!
3 weeks later and very nearly 40,000!
Just under 2 weeks later, and we’ve hit 50,000. Those gaps are growing shorter….
Just a well done to Carolynn , she has just WALKED up to my house !! how great is that …I am so proud of her and l’m sure we all feel the same . She had to rush back for her evening painting session with Ruby and Jean.
Ain’t no stopping her now ! as the song goes.
Love @ Hugs xxxxxxxxxxx

Kevin, how did you manage to get a photo of Church Green for the new banner without any cars in the way?
Pheadair – I couldn’t believe my luck! It was not without drama though. The first batch of shots weren’t quite right, so I had to dash back hoping that the Green remained car free and with the light fading fast.
I don’t know about you, but I am getting excited! 8) Only six months on since 10,000 page views and we are nearly at 100,000.
Your website was recently recommended to me by Mr Stuart Chambers whom I have the pleasure of knowing. As you can probably guess, it therefore had something to do with Strictly!
However, I have now become a regular browser and I am overwhelmed by the brilliant content, links and ease of navigation. I have reviewed websites in the past (for the independent school sector) which are generally very poor, and so was delighted to find your site that ticked all my boxes.
Many congratulations to all the team and contributors
Keep dancing!!
Very best wishes
