Open Gardens 2014

Posted in Events, Gardens, Societies on Tuesday June 24, 2014| 1 Comment »

With great weather, home-made scones and stunning gardens it was hardly surprising that we had a record attendance at this year’s open gardens. Garden owners and volunteers can be justifiably proud of their hard work and resultant success. The event is organised by Parwich & District Horticultural Society. The bumper proceeds will be used to underwrite the main Flower & Vegetable Show in September, and then the Society will allocate support for local groups and causes.

Here are a few photos I took around the Memorial Hall, but, if any readers have photos of the gardens, please do send them in to the Blog (parwich@hotmail.co.uk):

Downton Abbey Fashions in Parwich

Posted in Events, People, Photography on Sunday May 18, 2014| 3 Comments »

The glamour of the Edwardians reached Parwich on Friday when Notty Hornblower, vintage fashion collector from Hope House Costume Museum, Alstonfield, staged a stunning catwalk show themed around the clothes worn during the Downton Abbey era and the First World War. Each outfit was modelled beautifully, accompanied by exquisite accessories and fascinating stories about the acquisition of each item. The evening, organised by Cheryl, was to commemorate the start of WW1 with the profits going to the Poppy Appeal and the Memorial Hall Fund.

Elections to the European Parliament

Posted in Events, Local government, Out & About on Monday May 12, 2014| 2 Comments »

I guess it is telling that, although I reported the previous elections here at parwich.org, in starting to draft this post I could not remember how many Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are sent from the East Midlands, nor the names of any of them. So here is a recap of the sitting MEPs and the PR method used to elect them, as well as the candidates for the up coming May 22nd election.

Peter T

Our sitting MEPs are:

We vote as part of the East Midlands region, which returns five MEPs by closed party list proportional representation. Each party submits a list of up to five candidates indicating their order of preference. Voters then choose political parties, rather than individual candidates. Voters indicate a single preference and parties are allocated seats on a quota system in relation to the proportion of the votes they receive (see About My Vote). A party’s first seat goes to the first candidate on their list, a second seat to their second candidate and so on.

Four of the sitting MEPs are standing again, including Roger Helmer, who in 2012 defected from the Conservatives to UKIP. Here are the parties’ candidate lists, together with links to their websites, where we have been able to identify them:   (more…)
