Congratulations to Dr Margaret Spurr and Professor Peter Young.
Last weekend they celebrated their new found friendship in Lincoln Cathedral with a wonderful service of blessing followed by a superb reception afterwards in the Cathedral Chapter House.
They are due to return to Parwich on Monday and we look forward to seeing them again and wish them many happy years ahead.

Fell runners are a tough breed. Whilst most people would have taken one look at the drizzly weather and settled in for a night of reality TV, 63 intrepid individuals decided to take on the challenge of the very first Panoramic Five Fell Race. This race provided 5.3 miles of mud, stiles and inclines – most of which seemed to be going uphill!
Talking to a number of the competitors in the pub after the race, the event was favourably received. The organisation and marshalling of the event were particularly praised….so thanks Paul, Graham, Don and others who masterminded and organised the event. Thank you also to the marshalls and the Parwich First Responders for your time and trouble.
Race organisers Paul & Graham test their megaphone skills

Residents across Derbyshire will be given their chance to comment on policing in the county at a series of events. Our nearest event will be on Thursday 13th August -10am-4pm in the Horse and Jockey Yard, Ashbourne.
‘Have Your Say’ was introduced seven years ago as a way to find out what the public thinks about the police service in the county, this year will focus on neighbourhood policing and public confidence in the police service. (more…)

‘Embroidery around the World’
Tonight Thursday – 18th June
7.30pm for Members
8pm for Non-Members
In the Memorial Hall
Everyone Welcome
‘Embroidery around the World’ with Kathleen Mason has proved to be a very entertaining meeting with other WIs. She has a delightfully amusing way of getting her message across and enthrals everyone with her many items of embroidery from around the world. From her Pandora’s box of a suitcase, examples are revealed from many countries including India, China, Canada, Italy, Norway and Sweden. Kathleen is a talented speaker, so come along and enjoy the evening.

What a beautiful day!
It was one of those days when the weather was so perfect that everything felt special. The barbeques came out, people enjoyed their gardens and the pub beer garden was put to good use.
Morning interest was provided by the first Cycling Plus Sportive event which chose to come through Parwich as part of their 100 mile route. Starting from the Donnington area over 500 cyclists took part in the event. Looking at the event website, many participants found the Peak District section the most enjoyable.

Last Sunday, a small team of ‘professional’ Parwich cameramen were asked to make a video record of the St. George’s Day Parade. The exercise was meticulously planned and good vantage points were identified the day before. One of these points happened to be the bell tower of St. Peter’s Church, providing a rather interesting panorama of the village. In addition to the filming, our roving reporter took a few still pictures to share with you.

Sandra and Rebecca would like to thank everyone who very generously supported their coffee morning to raise money and sponsorship for taking part in the London Moonwalk. They collected a massive total of £440.30 in the morning in donations, sponsorship, cake stall and raffle.
All the proceeds are going to breast cancer projects supported by the Moonwalk. Together with sponsorship already collected they are getting dangerously close to reaching their target at which they promised to post a picture of them in their decorated bras in which they will walk a full marathon length circuit around the streets of London, starting at Midnight on May 16th.
Here is a picture of them taken just before they polished off all the left-over cakes and biscuits.

Come along and support Sandra & Rebecca’s coffee morning tomorrow at Knob Hall. They are both raising funds for Breast Cancer in preparation for their sponsored Moonwalk marathon in London in May.

As we have seen from earlier posts there will be a fun packed day on Sunday 26th April, starting with a Procession at 10.15am from The British Legion to the Church, led by the Oddfellows, Cyberscouts and Doveholes Brass Band, everyone else is then invited to join in. Hopefully there will be lots of children dressed up as St George or The Dragon on their way to the Church Service at 11am.
During the afternoon the Winster Morris Men and the A52’s will be entertaining us with live dancing & live music whilst the Church Fete is being held on The Green (if wet in The Church).
There are lots of attractions including Face Painting, Local Handmade Candles, Jewellery, lots of games including Famous Faces, Hoop-la, Box & Beanbag, a Crown Derby Raffle and Tombola.
A fete wouldn’t be complete with a Home-produce stall, so all cakes, jams, chutneys etc would be gratefully received. The Second Hand stall also needs plenty of bits, so you have a week to rake out those cupboards, lofts & garages for all those bits that you really don’t need, but others would love – Go rumaging!!
There will be an icecream van on The Green whilst Teas are available in The Church, whilst there you can enjoy seeing the Model Railway which has been especially set up for the ocassion.
What is needed – Home-made produce, Second Hand goods & Tombola Prizes
