Christmas Tree Festival
Posted in Church on Thursday November 18, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Saturday 18th December 2010 (11am-3pm) is the Church Christmas Tree Festival and Fair. It is always a lovely event with the smell of mulled wine percolating through the aisles and various goodies for sale. The trees then remain up until early New Year, really enhancing the Christmas atmosphere in the Church.
So if you would like to decorate a tree, either as a society, as a group of friends or as an individual now is your chance. There is no theme, so you can use your imagination and dress your tree as you wish. To reserve a tree please contact Martin C on 529 or Helen P on 362.
Enjoy the photos of last year’s Christmas Tree Festival.

Where Parwich leads, Ambridge follows?
Posted in 2010, About this site, Local Links, Posts of Note on Wednesday November 17, 2010| 2 Comments »
If you’re an Archers fan, then the newly launched Ambridge village blog might be of interest. But has the Ambridge blog team been taking inspiration from PARWICH.ORG, we wonder?
Don’t be fooled
Posted in Police on Wednesday November 17, 2010| 1 Comment »
Police have received several reports of persons in a silver BMW saloon and possibly an Audi Estate flagging motorists down by a male, persistently asking for money and petrol. Excuses made have been that they needed petrol as they had run out and had a baby in the car, or asking for money as his wife is sick, etc, and offering gold rings.
Locations where motorists have been flagged down are: B5056, Grangemill stretch, A52 Ashbourne, B5023 Wirksworth stretch.
Incident number: 451 of 15.11.10 & Incident numbers: 320, 687 of 16.11.10.
Don’t become a victim of these scams which have done the rounds before! Anyone with information should call 0345 123 33 33, quoting the relevant incident number.
Please be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police.
Thank you. Trisha Mellor, B Division Community Information Officer, Corporate Communications, Buxton Police Station

Spaniel Found

(Posted at 1pm)
A brown cocker spaniel has been found in Parwich and is currently with the workmen at Nether Green. If you know anything about it please see them as soon as possible, they will hang on to the dog for the next couple of hours (they have had to tie it up as it was getting in the way of the machinery).
Saturday’s Concert
Posted in 2010, Church, Music, Posts of Note on Tuesday November 16, 2010| 1 Comment »
A big thank you to all of you who supported the Choral Classics for Remembrance Concert in Parwich church on Saturday. The choir gave their services for nothing, the audience enjoyed some lovely village-supplied nibbles, and we raised almost £500 to go to the Help for Heroes Fund, and Parwich Church Restoration Fund

Heather’s Jewellery Means Business
Posted in 2010, People, Posts of Note on Tuesday November 16, 2010| 1 Comment »
From an early age Heather H has loved making arts and crafts. A while ago she started creating funky jewellery such as necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Last year, when she needed to raise money to fund her Duke of Edinburgh expedition, she started selling some of her work on stalls at the St. George’s Day Fayre, Wakes Week and Wirksworth Farmers’ Market.
Her jewellery-making skills have steadily developed. Some of her work has recently been taken by the Opus Gallery in Ashbourne. This picture shows Catherine from Opus Gallery and Heather selecting items of jewellery to be displayed.
(I have previously bought some items from Heather as presents, which went down very well, so would recommend having a look in Opus when doing your Christmas shopping.)

Tissington Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team

Minutes from the Steering Group Meeting held on Monday 27 September 2010, 7.30pm at Kniveton Village Hall.
Sgt Edwards opened the meeting and thanked all present for their attendance. PCSO Cleveley read out the minutes from the previous meeting.
Parking at Tissington Village
A meeting took place at Tissington Hall to discuss the Tissington Traffic Plan (TMP) with interested parties attending. All aspects of the issue of parking were discussed, but are still ongoing.
Parking at Kniveton School (Priority Issue)
SE explained that a letter had been received from a local MP regarding the parking issue outside the school after being contacted by a parent. A report had been sent in reply, pointing out that the issue was longstanding and a solution needed to be found. SE added that the DDC Environmental Highways Dept. were now looking at a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO), this would mean the extension of the zigzag markings and placing of appropriate signage as soon as it had been put out for public consultation and approved by all appropriate parties. Civil Attendants would be able to attend and deal with any offences. Until the TRO is accepted our ‘hands are tied’.
Any other business
SE informed the meeting of ‘Community SpeedWatch’. This scheme was up and running in many of the villages. The training would be given by the Sgt and then the volunteers actually use the equipment and fill in the appropriate paperwork. A PCSO would be in attendance to assist. It was pointed out that there would be no enforcement, but a letter is sent out to the driver to inform them of their speed. (more…)

Thank you to JFS for these two photos: the first in St Peter’s Church Yard when this morning’s service moved out to the War Memorial for the two minutes silence and the Last Post.
And the second at the Legion afterwards.

How should National Parks consult?
Posted in Peak Park on Saturday November 13, 2010| 2 Comments »
Defra has launched a consultation on National Park governance, that is how the National Park Authorities take into account people’s views. You can find out more about this consultation at the Defra website or at the Peak Park website, and can respond to either or both.
Defra say:
Defra’s draft Structural Reform Plan published on 16 July delivers the coalition agreement commitment ‘to review the governance arrangements of National Parks in order to increase local accountability’.
Although the majority of the National Park Authorities have broadly similar governance arrangements, it is felt that the most effective way to undertake the Review is for each Authority to consult locally on potential changes which would work best for their areas, whilst at the same time reflecting the status of the Parks as national assets. This consultation does not therefore contain proposals for any particular structures or arrangements, but instead provides a remit for the Review on which each Authority will base local consultation.
This consultation invites comments from any organisation or individual who wishes to respond. Comments should in the first instance be directed to Defra who will forward copies to the relevant Authority for consideration. If comments are not specific to any individual Authority, these will be considered directly by Defra.
If anyone feels a collective response from our area would be useful please leave your comments below. The consultations runs to 1st February 2011, and for the Peak Park’s press release on this (more…)
Missing Green Bin
Posted in Classified adverts on Saturday November 13, 2010| 1 Comment »
Our green bin went AWOL on Thursday.I left it full for collection and returned to find it had vanished! Perhaps it got damaged and the council removed it, but before I contact them, just wanted to make sure it hasn’t turned up elsewhere. So, if you’ve acquired a mystery bin this week I’d be grateful if you could contact me on 334. Thanks, Sue H.
PS The Church’s green bin never turned up.

Flying over Parwich today – JF-S
The Dovedale Dash
Posted in 2010, Events, Photography, Posts of Note, Sport, Young people on Sunday November 7, 2010| 2 Comments »
2010 saw the 55th Dovedale Dash and although chilly and a little soggy underfoot, it was a wonderfully sunny day. Parwich and Alsop were well represented, fielding 21 runners (including 5 friends) out of 1500 runners. Apologies that the photos are not as sharp as they could be, but the runners were just too fast and sorry if I have missed anyone out.
In the children’s race, Bethany was the first girl in the Under 10’s and Emily the first girl in the Under 8’s and Ben was one of the younger runners.
In the main race, Clive R, veteran, led the Parwich group in, followed by Sue P, Jacob (only 9) and then Graham J. Well done to the rest – Izzy, Seth, Nia, Thayer, Lexie, Reuben, Josh, Brian G, Jamie D, Mark W and the Linnell’s friends.
Next Year’s run is on Sunday 6th November!

Faster Broadband
Posted in Services on Saturday November 6, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Following the recent post on Broadband Speed, Parwich Parish Council have suggested we also post details of British Telecom’s on-line petition, where if at least 1,000 people request it, they may provide a super-fast fibre optic broadband to the nearest exchange.
For more details and to vote see BT Race to Infinity. So far 5 people have voted from the Parwich exchange, which has much less than 1,000 lines (385), however they say “If 75% of your exchange registers, BT will engage with your community to see what we can do in your area.” So vote now!

New “Fit 4 All” Group
Posted in Pilates, Services, Sport on Saturday November 6, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Parwich Fit 4 All!
A new village group was formed the other night to encourage exercise, health and well-being in Parwich. Our immediate aims are to increase access to Pilates classes. We are applying for 2 grants; one to subsidize the existing class for young people and encourage more to join in and the second to set up exercise sessions for the over 60s.
For this, we hope to get a grant to run a chair based afternoon exercise class in the Memorial Hall in the New Year. There would be about ¾ hour of gentle exercise followed by refreshments. The first two classes would be free and a further 10 would be subsidized.
We are intending to contact directly those who may be interested in attending. However, if you or any of your friends or relatives might be interested it would be really helpful for us to have an early idea of numbers for when we make our grant application. Please contact Ann Whitfield, Rebecca Jordan, Sue Purvis, Sandra Chadfield or Val Kirkham.
Any donations to start off our new bank account would be most appreciated!
