New Band in Parwich

Posted in Music, Photography, Young people on Friday October 5, 2012 | 1 Comment »

Thank you to Jane B for spotting this new musical phenomenon:

Four youngsters from Parwich could be the latest band to emerge from this small village, which already has a history of launching successful new musicians. The four, who still have to come up with a band name were heard to be practising on the corner of Croft Avenue and Creamery Lane, singing “We will, we will rock you”, using improvised instruments.

Eat your heart out Queen!

A Thank You From A Parwich Mountain Climber

Posted in Young people on Sunday September 16, 2012 | 3 Comments »

We have received the following message from Heather H, who successfully climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania this summer:

I just wanted to let you know how my trip climbing Mount Kilimanjaro went. It was just about the hardest thing I think I’ve done, but I had such an amazing time! As you know, before I could go I had to raise £2450. Many of you supported me by coming to my coffee morning, Swiss evening, buying biscuits and bread and thanks to your generosity I exceeded my target.

So here’s a bit about my trip and a few photos if you’re interested! One of the first things we did after arriving was to visit one of the schools that Childreach International is helping to fund. We had a brilliant day playing and singing with the children.

We set off on the climb the next day and the whole thing lasted 6 days – 4½ days up, 1½ back down. We started out walking through humid jungle… (more…)

Take care beneath the conker tree

Posted in Church, Young people on Thursday August 30, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

Terry P has asked us to pass on this warning:

Please would you inform your readers of the potential for an accident in the church yard under the horse chestnut tree, more commonly known as a conker tree.

The tree in question has more recently been dropping its branches without warning, and as you know the footpath runs underneath the tree.

What is more worrying is that it is coming up to conker collecting time for the children, so I would ask parents not to let their children under the tree. We certainly do not want any injuries to the little ones, or to anyone else for that matter.

Children’s play area roundabout

Posted in Parish Council, Young people on Tuesday June 19, 2012 | 1 Comment »

The condition of the roundabout on the children’s play area in the village has deteriorated through age, to the stage where its continued use has been called into question. The Parish Council is actively seeking to have the roundabout repaired or replaced.

This evening, a member of the Parish Council and a volunteer attempted to remove the defective parts for repair, but they found that this was not going to be possible without the use of a mechanical lift.

The roundabout has been left in a safe state, albeit with the central pillar removed and tape applied around it to discourage usage, until this can be arranged later this week.

In the meantime, it would be very much appreciated if parents could ask their children not to use the roundabout until it has been fully repaired.

If anyone has any questions, please contact Matt Harrison.

Many thanks, on behalf of the Parish Council.

Lots of very clean cars

Thank you to Cheryl W for this update:

A big thank you to everyone who brought their cars for a wash or just donated money. Current total towards the cost of new goal posts and nets is over £300 with more still to be added in. The kids were brilliant and probably most of the time were wetter than the cars that they were washing.

Swiss Night, next is Kilimanjaro

Posted in Young people on Monday April 23, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

A huge thank you to everyone who supported this evening. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. We raised a whopping £350 for Childreach International and Heather has reached the target set for the sponsored climb. So watch out for news of whether she makes it to the top, and her impressions of her visit to one of the schools in Tanzania funded by this charity. Sue, Mike and Heather H.
