After several months of behind-the-scenes planning, we are delighted to announce that PARWICH.ORG is finally up and running, and open for business. If this is your first visit, then may we wish you a warm welcome.
On the front page of this site, you will find a lively and regularly updated village “blog”, which we hope will serve as a mixture between an online notice board, a newspaper and a discussion forum. Keep checking back here regularly, for a wide variety of news items, announcements, reports, reviews, photographs, opinion pieces, and occasional longer features.
Older articles can be easily found, by using the “Categories” and “Archives” sections on the right hand side of this page, or simply by clicking the “Older Posts” link at the bottom of the page.
At the end of each article, there is a space for you to leave comments. We hope that you will feel free to make the most of this feature.
Elsewhere on the site, you will find a calendar of upcoming events, and various other pages of information such as a directory of local businesses and services, a directory of local groups and organisations, and a village history.
In the next few days, we will be launching a sister site, which will contain a wealth of detailed information and reference material relating to the Parwich Memorial Hall.
Our hope is that PARWICH.ORG will become a useful and interesting “one-stop shop” for all news and information relating to the village, as well as its neighours in Alsop-en-le-Dale, Ballidon and Pikehall. This is very much your website, and so we welcome contributions from everyone. Please feel free to suggest news items for the blog, to contribute features, reviews or photographs, to publicise your event or your independent local business, or simply to leave your comments in the spaces provided.
The site is currently administrated by Mike Atkinson, Jane Bennett and Peter Trewhitt. To get in touch with us, please e-mail parwich@hotmail.co.uk.
For those without computer access, we can also provide printed copies of recent articles on request.
Finally, if you have a website of your own, then we would be grateful if you could help spread the word by linking to us.
Welcome to PARWICH.ORG!


Just love our new web site. I have now posted it with my favourites so that I can find it every day. Let’s hope everyone soon finds it and we can a daily dose of updates, news and gossip!
Well done Patti, your first intro to blogging. It’s great & hopefully everyone will get alot from it. Don’t forget to email details of any events or anything that is going on in the village so that I can get it on the calendar.
