Parwich Bus Service
Posted in 2013, Parish Council, Posts of Note, Services, Transport on Tuesday February 5, 2013| Leave a Comment »
The Derbyshire Public transport unit have advised that there is a tendering process for the bus service in April. They said there is NO intention to take away a bus service from Parwich.
They are legally obliged to provide a service for children to school. They cannot provide details until after April of exact timetables. There may be changes to the services as a result of the re-tendering process and there will be notification in advance of any possible changes being implemented.
The Parish Council will be notified of any changes and will post these on the blog.

Paul B’s Weedkiller Weekly #16
Posted in Weedkiller Weekly on Monday February 4, 2013| 8 Comments »
Hello Fellow Earthlings,
Well the big burger scandal rumbles on; at least we know for sure what one of the ingredients is; ask any French butcher what is the toughest part of a horse and he will tell you it’s the saddle. Has anyone analysed salami or hot dogs or that mouth-watering doner kebab, that is a must for every pub and club goer at the end of the evening, that indescribable lump oozing grease as it merrily revolves night after night; ‘Bon Appetite’.
Well Ashbourne will soon be bracing itself for the annual ‘Shrovetide’: Upard’s and Downard’s locked in gladiatorial combat, Of course the game was originally played with a human head, but this barbaric practice ceased in 1985. Allegedly many an old score has been settled in the mayhem of “The HUG”. Much further afield in days of yore, Captain Bligh and loyal members of his crew, after being relieved of their ship and awaiting rescue on the Pitcairn Islands, amused themselves by rolling coconuts at turtles on the beach, a game which became known as terrapin bowling.
Pilates classes cancelled this week.

The heating system is still not working properly. It works for a period of time and then stops. I checked the temperature on Monday morning and it was registering 13 degrees.
I have made the decision sadly to cancel classes this week.
The following two weeks are half term.
Classes will resume (heating permitting) week beginning Monday 25th February.
Hopefully see you all then.
Thanks
Sue

Based on the book THE HELP, this charming comedy set in Mississippi during the 1960s tells of a southern society girl who returns from college determined to become a writer, but turns her friends’ lives — and a small Mississippi town — upside down when she decides to interview the black women who have spent their lives taking care of prominent southern families. Aibileen, Skeeter’s best friend’s housekeeper, is the first to open up — to the dismay of her friends in the tight-knit black community. Despite Skeeter’s life-long friendships hanging in the balance, she and Aibileen continue their collaboration and soon more women come forward to tell their stories — and as it turns out, they have a lot to say.

Celebration Service For Ray Williams
Posted in 2013, People, Posts of Note, School on Sunday February 3, 2013| 1 Comment »
Ray Williams was Headteacher of Parwich Primary School from 1985 to 2007. During these 22 years, Ray’s inspirational teaching and wise leadership of the school profoundly touched the lives of so many people. It was very fitting that a celebration service was held yesterday at the school. Former pupils, teaching staff, governors and others who knew Ray gathered to celebrate the life and achievements of a very special man.
School photographs had been set out, showing the many pupils from Ray’s time at the school. People spent time spotting people they knew and reflecting on the large number of former pupils who had benefited from Ray’s teaching.
Current headteacher Caroline Rodgers welcomed everyone and provided some opening words. She then invited everyone to gather in The Celebration Garden where an oak tree was to be dedicated to Ray. Dennis Lacock talked about the significance of the tree and likened the planting of acorns to sowing knowledge and wisdom in the minds of children.
Ray’s wife and brother laid earth round the base of the tree and the oak was dedicated to Ray.
Back in the school, Margaret, Haley and Jenny made a warm tribute to Ray, talking about their experiences working with him in school.
A tribute was also made by former pupil Chloe.
Ray’s wife Margaret thanked everyone for coming and said it meant a great deal to her and the family. She mentioned that in April, Ray’s son Gareth will be cycling 1,600km from Adelaide to Canberra over 10 days in Ray’s memory. The funds raised will go directly into research and support projects aimed at finding a cure for cancer. You can find out more about this great cause and read Gareth’s blog during his ride by clicking here.
In her opening words, Caroline highlighted just how giving Ray was as a person. On this sunny afternoon, we had an opportunity to reflect on this and to give thanks for having met such a wonderful person.
