Council updates

We get a lot of information and press releases from the County and District Councils and the Peak Park Authority. Many are not of specific interest to our immediate area or are too general for parwich.org. However today there are few that may be of tangential interest to some of our readers, not enough to warrant separate posts, but perhaps worth a brief listing here:
- Tour de France visiting Derbyshire in 2014, though not near to us. Click here for more details.
- Serco agreed to pay £75,000 to cover costs incurred by Derbyshire Dales District Council in tackling a series of problems with the launch of a new waste and recycling service. The good news is the new contract is now working well and, in addition to saving Dales Council Tax payers £385,000 a year, has increased recycling rates to almost 50% – one of the best figures in Derbyshire. Click here for more details.
- Information on the County Council’s autumn term Adult Education courses are now available, click here for County-wide information. Also click here for details of the Adult Education Centres in Derbyshire Dales.
- Derbyshire Dales District Council urges local people of all ages to give new sports a try, as its Wirksworth Leisure Centre stages a free open day on Sunday 28 July.

Tudor Fun Day
Posted in Events, History, Peak Park on Monday June 24, 2013| Leave a Comment »
Chance to step back to the time of Henry VIII
Families can step back from the 21st century to the time of Henry VIII by joining the Great Tudor Farming Day in the tranquil Dove Valley on Saturday July 6.The outdoor event, from 11am to 4.30pm at the Dove Valley Environmental Centre, Under Whitle Farm near Longnor, will take people back to 1537 to share the daily lives of the Horobin family.
Children can dress in Tudor outfits and try their skills at spinning, weaving, farming, gathering vegetables and herbs, cooking and making reed lights as our 16th century ancestors would have done. Families can watch a re-enactment of skulduggery at Upper Whitle Farm, meet a Tudor quack (doctor), discover how to research local history, write with a quill and learn the secrets of the Tudor landscape and wildlife.
Peak District National Park ranger Lynn Burrow, who helped organise the event, said: “We want to open up a different world and show people what life was like for a Peak District farming family during the time of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.
“Children can become part of an oxen plough team, and everyone can try their hand at dry hedging, archaeological exploration and Tudor dancing.”
The event is co-ordinated by Elspeth Walker of the Dove Valley Environmental Centre and run mainly by volunteers. Although free, donations are invited to help cover costs.People should bring a packed lunch (drinks will be available), and clothing suitable for a day outdoors including wellies in case of wet ground.
The postcode for the Dove Valley Centre is SK17 0PR, or ordnance survey map reference SK107 305 (between Longnor and Sheen), tel: 01298 83282.

This Friday: charity event with live band at Hill Top Farm
Posted in Events, Music on Sunday June 16, 2013| Leave a Comment »
A charity event is taking place at Hill Top Farm on Friday 21st June, in aid of the East Midlands Air Ambulance: a service which demonstrated its importance to our community earlier in the year.
The main attraction is a live band, Purple Cloud of Funk, who perform a wide range of well known covers. You can find out more about them on their Facebook page, and you can hear samples of their music on their official website.
“We are lucky to get local band Purple Cloud of Funk”, says Robert Gosling, “as they were on Radio 1 a couple of weeks ago!”
There will be a bar and a burger van, and camping is even available for those who might need it!

Posted in Events, Music on Saturday May 25, 2013| Leave a Comment »
A charity event is taking place at Hill Top Farm on Friday 21st June, in aid of the East Midlands Air Ambulance: a service which demonstrated its importance to our community earlier in the year.
The main attraction is a live band, Purple Cloud of Funk, who perform a wide range of well known covers. You can find out more about them on their Facebook page, and you can hear samples of their music on their official website.
“We are lucky to get local band Purple Cloud of Funk”, says Robert Gosling, “as they were on Radio 1 a couple of weeks ago!”
There will be a bar and a burger van, and camping is even available for those who might need it!
Tickets are £6 in advance and £7 on the door. For tickets and information, please contact one of the numbers shown on the flyer below.
