As so often seems to be the case these days, there’s plenty of Parwich-related content in this week’s Ashbourne News Telegraph…
Page 1. “What a turn-up for Shrovetide!” – Simon Spencer, who represents Dovedale and Parwich Ward on Derbyshire Dales District Council, will be turning up the ball for the Ashbourne Royal Shrovetide Football match on Shrove Tuesday, February 24th.
Page 4. Editorial comment: “Tom’s secret of success”. A veritable eulogy to our Mr. Chambers, which pegs him as “the kind of person that every mother would like their daughter to marry”…
Page 8. “Should Tom have won?” – a news piece announcing the opening of “what could be our most one-sided poll ever” on the Stunner’s website.
Page 8. “Tools stolen from garage” – report on last Saturday lunchtime’s theft of several hundred pounds worth of equipment from a wooden garage in Parwich.
Page 10. “Public says Yes to Tom’s magic steps.” A detailed full-page article on last Saturday’s victory, featuring quotes from Stephen Conway at The Sycamore, the Revd. Christopher Harrison – and an interesting exclusive mini-interview with Tom’s mum Rosemary, which also contradicts some of this week’s national newspaper headlines…
Page 19. “Lottery windfall for village halls.” Another full page feature, covering the Big Lottery Fund grants made to Parwich and Clifton. There’s also a colour photo of committee members Val S, Mike G-P, Brian B and Nick S.
