In stark contrast to last week’s issue, today’s issue, 9th July 2008, of the Ashbourne News Telegraph is positively brimming with Parwich stories.
- p. 4 An excellent whole page feature on Parwich Wakes along with photos and the results of the Carnival judging
- p.6 A further near full page feature on the new Annunciation Window (the Graham Window) in Parwich Church
- p.10 The report on Ashbourne Young Farmers’ annual rally and field day at Chatsworth again contains some familiar names: well done Ben Chadfield in the junior tractor driving
- p.21 A short report on the submission of the planning application for our new Memorial Hall (see also p.44 and our recent post)
- p.23 Debbie is back from the States, and issuing a call for volunteers to help in various capacities at Carsington Water (see Volunteer Centre’s website)
- p.44 Public notice issued by the PDNA announcing the consultation periods for the planning applications for the Memorial Hall rebuild and an extension to Station Road Farm, both in Parwich (see Planning pages at PDNPA web site)
- p.53 Parwich Hill Race results in full colour (see also the time sheets)
- p.54 Congratulations to Robert Cundy of Bradbourne whose bird came first in the Ashbourne Flying Club race from Hullavington (Wiltshire)
- p.54 Summer Football results update
As always let us know about anything we have missed (especially any Alsop, Ballidon & Pikehall stories).


Yes, a splendid and informative article on Wakes Week: well worth a click.
