PARWICH.ORG

So far I have only found three snippets in the Ashbourne News Telegraph directly relating to our immediate area:

• A planning application for creation of a menage and associated change of use from agricultural to equestrian at Royston Grange Farm, Ballidon.
• Today’s planning appeal relating to the garden room at Church Cottage, Parwich.  The paper obviously has not been paying close enough attention to PARWICH.ORG as they missed our news that the venue had been changed from Aldern House in Bakewell to a more local setting. (Click here for our report.)
• This Friday sees the Divisional Finals of the Ashbourne Town Darts League at the Empire.  We have two teams competing: the Sycamore playing Tiger Cubs for Division 3; and the Legion playing Bradley House for Division 1.

Indirectly linked to Parwich, there is an article relating to the Ashbourne Volunteer Centre, which is holding a photographic competition to coincide with the National Volunteers’ Week which runs from Sunday (1st June) to Saturday (7th June).  Having won the Local History Society photography competition a couple of years ago, it is a shame Debbie won’t be able to enter this one, as she works at the Centre.  To find out more about the competition phone 01335 348602.

There are also some more general articles in this week’s issue that might be of interest to our browsers:

• Police changes ‘won’t hit town’:  The front page article reports restructuring of Derbyshire Constabulary.  The force’s sections will merge as a cost cutting measure to reduce the number of middle managers.  B Division will have 3 sections, North covering Glossop, Central covering Buxton and South.  We will be in the new South section which will cover Ashbourne, Bakewell and Matlock.  Although there will be organisational changes senior Officers say there will be no change in the number of front line officers.
• Adding a digital edge to our news: The paper’s website is to include additional video clips to support their stories on-line, though somewhat embarrassingly I don’t see to be able to access any of the clips, perhaps someone can add a comment explaining how.
• Making Waves on town’s new station: The launch of Radio Ashbourne 96.7 FM on Bank Holiday Monday is featured along with their broadcasting schedule.  Don’t forget the station can also be listened to online.

As always do let us know about anything I have missed.
