Lent Lunch tomorrow

Posted in Church on Wednesday March 17, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Pop along to Town Head (Rosemary & Stuart’s house) at 12.30-2pm for Lent lunch tomorrow. Enjoy a range of cheeses, bread and soup – more fun than making your own lunch. You don’t have to be a member of the Church to enjoy this lunch – it is a community event to raise funds for Church repairs (via a donation for the lunch) – afterall we like seeing the Church in our village, so let’s help keep it in good repair. Everyone is very welcome, including children.

Next Lent Lunch will be on Wednesday 24th March at the Vicarage.

New Year’s Day Get Together

Posted in Church, Music on Thursday December 31, 2009| 1 Comment »

Why not pop along to Church sometime tomorrow between 11am and early pm, for a few minutes or a couple of hours. A chance to catch up on the New Year’s news and gossip with some delightful music playing in the background. If you have any food or drink that you want to use up, (the diet regime starts tomorrow – so it’s a good chance to remove all that wicked temptation) bring it along and share with others. If your cupboards are bare, then pop along for a bite in exchange for a donation to help the Church.

Parwich Says “Thank You” To Simon and Barbara

Simon our postman will be doing his round for the last time on 2nd January after 11 years delivering the post to the people of Parwich. We could not have wished for a more dedicated and helpful person to deliver our mail. Through rain, snow and shine, Simon has always looked after us with a smile and a wave. We will be very sorry to see him go.

It was wonderful therefore to have the opportunity this afternoon to thank him and his wife Barbara.

After The Gold Rush.

Posted in 2009, Arts, Church, Events, Films, Music, Posts of Note on Sunday November 15, 2009| 2 Comments »

Thanks to Kevin S. for the following report.

NOTE: There are a couple of videos of Saturday night’s screening – complete with live organ accompaniment and audience laughter! – at the end of this post. Click “Continue Reading” to access them.

The number of cars parked around the green suggested that something very different and special was awaiting us, as we walked to St Peter’s last night to watch The Gold Rush, with organ accompaniment by Christopher Harrison. There were plenty of familiar faces sitting in the pews, but there were very many new faces too. It soon became apparent that the plethora of enthusiastic visitors had come from film clubs around Derbyshire, having heard about last night’s unique event.

The rapturous applause for Christopher’s accompaniment on organ and piano, and for the sound effects created by Martin and Arnold, were clear testament to a remarkable evening. What’s more, over £200 was raised for the church restoration fund.

The atmosphere of the darkened church, the excellent silent film and Christopher’s witty organ playing combined to magical effect. Oh, and there were great nibbles (from local cooks) and wine (courtesy of Waitrose) during the interval too.

Gold Rush with live musical accompaniment on Saturday

Posted in Church, Films on Monday November 9, 2009| 6 Comments »

Charles Chaplin made The Gold Rush (1925) out of the most unlikely sources for comedy. The idea came to him when he was viewing pictures of the 1896 Klondike gold rush, and was struck by the image of an endless line of prospectors snaking up the Chilkoot Pass, the gateway to the gold fields.
