Available online or in the Sycamore, the Ashbourne News Telegraph has the following stories of local interest:

There are a couple of things on p.7 with less obvious local links that could be missed.
The article “Your chance to get fit with walking” mentions walks each week from Ashbourne Leisure Centre, some of which are led by Parwich’s own Gill L. I had discussed it with Gill today, wondering whether she wanted anything on the Blog, but at present the walks are just in the Ashbourne area. Gill said they would be planning some further afield next year and that she would let us know if any were in our area.
Some people will know the model in the half page advert at the bottom of the page; she is my god-daughter Amy who has been visiting the Parwich regularly since she was three years old.
I wish I’d have known about your god-daughter – I could have made some kind of clever comment about a stunner in the stunner.
