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.

As in previous years, it would be great if parents/families could please bring along donations of party food for everyone to share.
If you are wondering what to bring, this may give you some idea. If you could bring a couple of items from the list, enough for your own children/family (or maybe a little more!) and then everyone shares, it should work out OK!
Sandwiches – Crisps etc – Veg sticks/salad – Cocktail sausages or other savouries – Cakes – Biscuits – Fruit
All hot drinks and soft drinks will be provided by the PTA.
If you have any questions, please ask Sam L (477), Sally P, or Mandy N.

REMINDER: the balloon launch takes place tomorrow (Thursday), so this is your last chance to buy tickets!
Continuing with their 150th anniversary celebrations, Parwich Primary School are holding a Balloon Launch.
On Thursday 14th July, starting at 2pm, each of the fifty children will launch a balloon to celebrate education at Parwich Primary School.
Each Parwich Primary School child will be given a balloon, free of charge, to release on the afternoon. However, everyone else needs to purchase one!
This means that the school has 100 balloons to sell, to make this event a success!
Each balloon can be bought for a minimum donation of £2.
To be in with a chance to win, all you have to do is:
1. Click here to open the order slip, then print it off. Parents will already have received paper versions of the slip.
2. Fill in the slip, completing your details for the label as you want them to appear.
3. Turn up on Thursday July 14th at 2pm, to be part of a fab afternoon, with hope for a clear day.
4. Look forward to your balloon travelling the furthest, so you’re in with a chance of winning a first prize of £25, a second prize of £15, or a third prize of £10.
Anyone can purchase a balloon and there is no limit to the number you are permitted to buy.
All money raised goes towards our ‘Celebration Garden’ which will begin to take shape during September and October and will provide an amazing outdoor learning environment for all our children.
