Any Diary Dates?
Posted in About this site, Church, Events on Monday January 19, 2015| Leave a Comment »
We are updating the Diary page this week, so if you have any Alsop, Ballidon, Parwich or Pikehall events that you want to go in the Diary in time for the Peak Five Churches magazine’s February issue, please send them in by Friday (23rd January).
Including our Diary in the Church magazine is important as it helps us reach some of those who are not on-line.
Please send Diary information to parwich@hotmail.co.uk or give it to me (Peter T) tel. 287.
Thank you, Peter

Below are a few photos from a lovely night singing carols on the Village Green with Ashbourne Town Band. Even a bit of rain couldn’t dampen the festive spirit, all helped by the mulled wine and mince pies.
Thanks to John F-S for the photos
