Sandra and Rebecca would like to thank everyone who baked cakes, donated raffle prizes and came to their Macmillan coffee morning. Also thanks to those who could not come and sent donations. We raised a fantastic £305! If you missed it, there is still time to give us your donations to this worthy cause which may well help us or someone we know suffering from cancer in the future.

We had a very successful evening. With an audience of over 110, we raised over £500. £100 will go to St Peter’s Choir in Nottingham (who are raising funds to build a new organ
for their church), and the rest will go to the Parwich St. Peter’s Restoration Fund.
Patti B writes:
This really was a very enjoyable evening. We are very lucky to have had such excellent musicians and choristers in our tiny village. If they had been performing in London, we would have had to pay a small fortune for tickets. As it was, our tickets even covered a glass of wine and nibbles. Thank you to everyone that organised and helped.

Plinthtastic!
Posted in 2009, Events, Posts of Note on Thursday September 17, 2009| 10 Comments »
Our very own blogmeister Mike A has just had his 60 minutes of fame on the famous 4th plinth at Trafalgar Square. The opportunity was provided by Antony Gormley’s One and Other Project, which puts the people of the UK in a place normally reserved for statues of kings and generals. Mike’s performance can be seen by clicking here.
To the uninitiated, it may look like Mike is jigging around aimlessly. For those in the know, the performance is transformed with a wonderful soundtrack. You can dance along with Mike by clicking here and pressing the ‘play’ button at the exact moment Mike says “Go!”. You can see random people in the crowd dancing – they’ve downloaded the soundtrack onto their mp3 players and are grooving along with Mike.
Good on you Mike – wot a dancefest!

Panoramic Five – Pictures From The Adult Race
Posted in 2009, Events, Parwich Panoramic 5, Posts of Note on Tuesday August 4, 2009| Leave a Comment »
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

Tonight Thursday – 18th June
7.30pm for Members

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.

Special Sunny Saturday
Posted in 2009, Events, Photography, Posts of Note on Saturday May 30, 2009| 3 Comments »
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.
