Sport Relief 2012 – a chance to be involved
Posted in Events, School, Sport on Friday October 14, 2011| Leave a Comment »
Hi,
I’m contacting you with a cheeky plea for help/request for info from Comic Relief – I hope you don’t mind!Comic Relief would love to get Parwich involved in Sport Relief 2012 but I’m not sure who in your village would be able to help me do this.
From experience recreation committees or sports clubs are the most suitable people for me to speak to so I wondered if you would be kind enough to pass my email details – l.thornton@comicrelief.com (and this link – http://www.sportrelief.com/the-mile/organise-an-event ) on to them in the hope they’ll get in touch if they are interested?
Your help and support would be massively appreciated.
Thanks, Liz
Organise A Mile Event – What’s In it For You
Whether you’re a local council, leisure centre, sports club or university, there’s a lot to be said for organising your very own Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile:
- It raises crucial cash for life-changing projects up and down the country and across the world.
- It’s a great way to show off your town or, if you run a club, to raise your profile and get new members.
- It’s inclusive, community-based, plus it gets everyone active and involved in a massive national event.
Our currently our nearest venue for the mile run is Ashbourne Recreation Ground on 25th March – Whether you do 1, 3 or 6 miles – as a family team, with your mates or against the clock – you’ll have a fantastic time when you go the distance. And until 15th December it’s half price entry, just £3 for adults, £1.50 for children and £7.50 for a family of four.
Sports Relief is also kicking off in schools.
£954.50 donated to Macmillan Cancer Support

…………………………….. . ……….
Sandra & Judith would like to thank everyone who donated money, prizes and cakes for Macmillan’s Biggest Coffee Morning in the World, and to those who came along last Thursday.

£461.32 was raised from the coffee morning, Carolyn donated £50 from her card making and £443.18 was given by Andrea Godfrey, Sacha Wright and Sharon Bull from a charity walk they completed.
Thank you.

Your support as parents and friends of Parwich Primary School in attending what promises to be a wonderful evening would be fantastically appreciated. If you are unable to attend, raffle tickets for the event are also available for £1.00 per book and we have some amazing prizes including A Digital Camera, A Watch, A Gallon of Whiskey, Jewellery, Perfume, Days and Meals out and much, much More…..

The Strongman Competition – Video
Posted in A52s, Competition, Events, People, Photography on Wednesday September 7, 2011| 1 Comment »
Many thanks to Tim Yeomans for videoing last Saturday’s outstanding Strongman Competition. Tim has edited the whole three hour event down to a marvellous 10 minute film which captures the spirit of this event; the strength and determination of the competitors, the music of The A52s and the enjoyment of the crowds. Let’s hope that this event becomes a regular part of the village calendar.

Parwich Strongman Competition: a first glimpse
Posted in 2011, Events, People, Photography, Posts of Note on Saturday September 3, 2011| 6 Comments »
Congratulations to Andy Fletcher, the winner of this afternoon’s Parwich Strongman Competition. Andy, who hails from Belper, held off a determined challenge from Parwich’s Tom Slater, who was only one point behind him as the competition reached its final round. The two contenders eventually went head-to-head, in a nail-biting race to place an increasingly heavy series of tyres on top of oil drums. Although Tom came within a whisker of victory, Andy was just quick enough to see off his rival, claiming the title for the second consecutive year.
Ten contestants took part in this year’s event, which was the first to be held on the Nethergreen football pitch. The size of the field was perfectly suited to the event, giving spectators ample room to view the action, and allowing the organisers to construct an impressive looking arena. All in all, it was great to see this underused space being pressed into service.
As well as the contest itself, spectators were able to enjoy live music from The A52s, a bar and a barbecue, as well a delicious cake stall, an ice cream van, and Lucy Burlinson’s face painting for the children.
Many thanks to Shaun and Tracy Marshall, Rob Keeling and everyone else who helped to organise the event, and also to all those who generously contributed towards the prizes.
Full scores will follow, along with many more photos – but for starters, here’s a small gallery of images from the day. Please click on each image to enlarge it.

Film Night, Friday September 16th
Posted in Events, Films, Memorial hall on Thursday August 25, 2011| Leave a Comment »
This exciting film tells the true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston’s remarkable adventure to save himself after a fallen boulder crashes on his arm and traps him in an isolated canyon in Utah.
Over the next 127 hours, Ralston examines his life and survives the elements to finally discover he has the courage and the wherewithal to extricate himself by any means necessary, scale a 65 foot wall and hike over eight miles before he is finally rescued. A visceral, thrilling story, that will take an audience on a never before experienced journey and prove what we can do when we choose life.
Directed by Danny Boyle (of Slumdog Millionaire fame), starring James Franco, nominated for several Oscars.
