Mixed fortunes in bowls results
Posted in Bowls, Sport on Friday July 9, 2010| 1 Comment »
PARWICH BOWLS CLUB – Week commencing 5 July 2010.
Mixed fortunes this week. One win and one loss, although we did play well in both games.
Tuesday League – Home – Chatsworth.
We managed to win two of the games, but lost two as well. Our points tally however was just a bit better than the opposition. The final result was 69 to 52.
It is ironic that last week in this league we had our lowest score, but still went up a place in the table! The teams around us had even poorer scores than we did.
Let’s see how we fair this week.
Next match – Away – Hathersage – 13 July – 6.30
Thursday League – Away – Bakewell.
This is a really strange green. Very long and thin. In Crown Green bowls you can send your ‘woods’ in any direction. Up and down or corner to corner, the choice is yours. At Bakewell however because the green is so narrow it is almost like playing ‘Flatgreen’ bowls, you have to play up and down.
Anyway, suffice it to say we were beaten quite comprehensively. We won one out of three in the doubles and two out of six in the singles, making the total score 137 to Bakewell and 111 to us. It could have been worse!
Next match –Home – Lafarge Hope works – 15 July. 1.30 ish.

Cleaning Query
Posted in Classified adverts on Friday July 9, 2010| 2 Comments »
May I please pick the brains of the good people of this village please…
I need to have our living room carpet cleaned – it is disgusting! Does anyone know of any companies that do carpet cleaning, or can anyone recommend a machine/system which I can rent (to do myself) which actually works?
Also, I need to have two dresses altering. Is there anyone in the village that does that?
Thanks so much,
Debbie
The clothes alterations might be something Cottage Curtains (see our local trade directory) are interested in, but if anyone has any answers to this query please add a comment below.

PCSO Kate Cleveley opened the meeting and the Minutes from the last meeting were distributed. An amendment was made regarding attendance at the previous meeting.
Parking at Tissington Village
KC attended a meeting at Tissington Hall on 9/6/10 to discuss forming of a working party to find a solution to parking issues in the village. This will be known as the Traffic Management Plan (TMP). Fiona Attenborough (PA at Tissington Hall) will be coordinating an action plan to include all interested parties. Cattle Grids at entrance to Tissington village have now been replaced by DDDC Highways. This was completed quickly and efficiently although there was a brief road closure.
Priority Profile Update
KC informed the meeting that there were still no new Priority Profiles in the area.
Kniveton school parking issues were still ongoing and letters had been sent out to all parents informing them of the dangers of their actions. Regular visits to monitor the situation at appropriate times would continue.
Mobile patrols would continue around the Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team area.
KC offered information regarding Community Speed watch and that this could take place in any of the villages if requested. (more…)

Two incidents
Posted in Police on Wednesday July 7, 2010| Leave a Comment »
The blog team are part of the Community Messaging Organisation and we are notified by the police about any incidents that occur in our region. We only put those that are local to us on the blog site. If you would like to be automatically emailed about this service please visit the Derbyshire Constabulary Website.
On Tuesday 6th July, Ashbourne police received several reports of males going door to door trying to sell goods, saying that they have just been released from prison. Two males were spoken to by officers and neither had a licence. Both bags and contents were seized and both were informed they would be reported for summons for selling door to door without the appropriate licence. Incident number: 626 of 6.7.10
We have received a report of a suspicious white long wheelbase Ford transit van with side windows and a towing bar, enter a campsite in Fenny Bentley at about 1020hrs on 6th July. The vehicle was displaying a registration number beginning N723. The driver is described as a white male, aged 45-50 years, with brown curly hair. He drove around the site and seemed to be paying particular attention to caravans on site. Incident number: 254 of 6.7.10.
Please continue to be vigilant and report all suspicious activity to the police on 0345 123 33 33.
Thank you.

Did you see anything?
Posted in Police on Tuesday July 6, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Shortly before 4.10pm on the afternoon of Saturday 3rd July, two persons entered Avanti jewellers on Dig Street, Ashbourne. Both persons were wearing crash helmets. Upon entering the jewellers both offenders have produced weapons and smashed through security glass at the front of the store. A quantity of jewellery was taken in this incident and the offenders made off in the direction of Shawcroft car park. It is believed that the offenders made off on a small red motorcycle which was abandoned on the road between Thorpe & Dovedale, therefore, another vehicle believed to be involved.
Police are appealing for witnesses to this incident to contact Derbyshire Police on 0345 123 33 33 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 with any information that may assist this enquiry.
Please be extra vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police.
Thank you.

Village Collage/Embroidery Tonight
Posted in Church, Crafts on Tuesday July 6, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Following on from the recent most enjoyable skills day in Church, the idea has been put forward to create a worked collage/ embroidery of the village to celebrate village life, and to mark the beginning of a new decade. It is hoped that this could then be hung in the Church
We would now like to see if there are others in the village who would like to join with us in this activity – either with the sewing (any form – embroidery, gold work etc.) or with suggestions for designs to be included in the project. We would hope to have as many people as possible involved in the project – I have been reassured that no knowledge is required and any necessary skills can be taught!
Do come and join us at Jill Simpson’s house tonight, Tuesday, 6th July at 7.30pm to take this forward. You can contact any one of us to discuss this further, or just let us know on 529 if you are interested. You can also discuss it with Jill Simpson, Ann Knight, or Mandy Noble.
Many thanks Jean

When there’s snow way through…
Posted in News on Sunday July 4, 2010| 2 Comments »
For those of you thinking things had gone quiet on the local superhero front, here’s a shot from our roving reporter in Alaska.
Following several weeks of practice this winter on Parwich Pond, our turbo-talented trucker Roberto Buntingo decided to help out the hapless lorry drivers who get themselves into trouble on the frozen lakes above the Arctic Circle.
Roberto hates to see late deliveries and normally finds a way to make it through. The people of Anchorage will receive their consignment of speedos after all!
Tom’s Loose Women
Posted in People, Tom Chambers on Sunday July 4, 2010| 1 Comment »
No, it’s not what you are thinking, but you could almost imagine the headline – how easily things can be misinterpreted.
We have however, been reliably informed that Tom Chambers is appearing tomorrow on the very popular ITV show, Loose Women, sometime between 12.30-1.30pm. He’ll be casting his eye over the hot topics of the day with Big Brother Winner Craig Phillips. Tom is quite clearly popular with the ladies of this show, as he has made numerous appearances in the past.

July/August Church Magazine

The double summer issue Group Magazine for the parishes of Alsop, Fenny Bentley, Parwich, Thorpe and Tissington is now available in each of the Churches. Alternatively you can have it delivered direct to your door, or click on the cover image below to access it on-line as a pdf.
In his letter the Vicar welcomed Aron Simpson to the parishes:
This month it is my pleasure to introduce you to Aron Simpson. Many of you will have met Aron already. Perhaps at one of our fund-raising events or at service. Aron is training to become a Vicar and is currently a full-time student at St. John’s College Nottingham, which is a Church of England training college. As part of his course Aron spends time on placement at a church and he has chosen to spend his placement with us. This will be mainly part-time extending through to Christmas, though in September Aron will be full-time in our parishes.
Aron currently lives in Derby with his wife Bella and daughter Evelyn. Before entering the ministry he worked for Pizza Express.
People of Parwich will have seen Aron at both our St George’s Day celebrations and on Wakes Saturday, when the above picture was taken. The Team here at PARWICH.ORG would also like to extend a warm welcome to Aron and his family and hope he finds the placement very productive.
The copy date for the September issue is 25th August 2010.

Panoramic Five 2010
Posted in Sport on Saturday July 3, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Organiser Graham Johnson has sent us the following:
Following the success and acclaim in local running circles of last year’s inaugural event, we are again organising the Parwich Panoramic Five running evening on Tuesday 3rd August 2010. The format will be exactly as last year with 3 junior races starting at 6:30pm and the senior 5.3 mile event taking place at 7:15pm. As those of you who helped out last year are aware, the course requires a large number of marshalls and first aid help.
We are hoping that the excellent team who did such a great job to make last year’s event such a great evening will again pitch in. If you helped out last year (either marshalling or first aid) and are not available on that evening, please can you let me know (Graham Johnson on 344).
Let’s hope for kinder weather this year and a big entry.

This week’s bowls results
Posted in Bowls, Sport on Friday July 2, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Week commencing 28 June 2010.
Two wins last week, two losses this. Expectations certainly not rising!
Tuesday League – Away – Matlock Golf Club.
Having beaten the top of the league team last week, we came down to earth with a bang this week, losing to the team second bottom. This was our lowest score this season. In truth we did not deserve to lose so heavily.
As it was we only won one game out of four and lost 66 to 48. Some consolation that we managed to restrict the winners to a fairly low score.
Certainly after this we will be very fortunate to remain in our fifth from bottom position in the league.
Next match – Home – Chatsworth – 6 July – 6.30
Thursday League – Home – Chatsworth.
Chatsworth are a few places higher in the league than we are and today’s result unfortunately showed why.
Although we won the doubles games 3 to 2 their aggregate score was greater than ours. We shared the singles games 3 games all and our aggregate scores were equal.
The overall score finished up at 120 to 125. 120 is not a bad score considering we lost, so hopefully we will stay mid table.
Next match – Away – Bakewell – 8 July. 1.30 ish.

Wakes through the years
Posted in 2010, History, People, Posts of Note, Wakes on Friday July 2, 2010| 1 Comment »
What an excellent idea and a great evening.
Denis L showed a cine film from the 1960s of Wakes and a slide show of Wakes photos taken over the last 100 years or so on the Parwich Film digital projector now installed in the new Hall. I did not count the audience but there must have been over 50 or 60 people there, sharing memories. The loudest responses were to some of the 60s and 70s fashions and Carnival costumes (Val K is very keen to ‘have a strong word’ with whoever handed over to Denis one particular photo).
The Carnival & Recreation Committee had laid on wine and cake, which was avidly consumed as people looked at more photographs that people had brought in and displayed on tables arround the hall. (more…)
Distraction Theft in Ashbourne – Be Aware
Posted in Police on Thursday July 1, 2010| Leave a Comment »
At 1.40pm on Wednesday 30th June, an elderly lady was shopping in the supermarket on King Edward Street, Ashbourne, (Sainsbury’s) when she was approached by an unknown male asking questions to distract her from her shopping trolley. When she returned to her trolley, she noticed her purse had been stolen out of her bag.
The male is described as white, aged between 20-30 years, approx 5’6″-5’7″ tall, possibly Polish due to accent.
Please ask your elderly friends and relatives to be extra vigilant whilst shopping and report anyone acting suspiciously to members of staff at the store. Secure all purses/wallets/handbags. Purse chains are available from the enquiry office at Ashbourne police station.
Anyone with information about this incident should call 0345 123 33 33, quoting crime number: 35085/10.
Thank you – Trisha Mellor, B Division Community Information Officer, Buxton Police Station

We have received the following message:
I would be grateful if you could put a message on the blog for me. I have managed to lose a pair of black ballet shoes and key by leaving them on top of the car and driving away from home without realising. This happened at 4.30pm this afternoon. When I returned about 6.30pm they were nowhere to be seen en route. I am hoping that some kind soul has spotted them and picked them up. Shoes needed for exam next week!
If you are that kind soul please let The Blog Team know at parwich@hotmail.co.uk and we’ll pass the message on.
