The Parwich Bonfire is tonight on the usual field off the Alsop Lane:

Bonfire Night celebrates the thwarting of the Catholic Gunpowder Plot aimed at blowing up the Protestant King James I at the State opening of Parliament. On the 5th of November 1605 Gut Fawkes was captured in the cellars of the Houses of Parliament with a considerable quantity of gun powder.
Tradition has it that one of the plotters hid at Manor Farm in Alsop-en-le-Dale. (more…)

Christmas Tree Festival
Posted in Church, Events, Societies on Monday October 12, 2009| Leave a Comment »
Back by popular demand is the annual Christmas Tree Festival. This year it is being held over the weekend of the 12th & 13th December to help raise funds for the Church restoration. There is no doubt that the presence of all these decorated trees really creates a magical atmosphere all over the Christmas period.
So, the festival is happening. What is needed now are different groups to volunteer to dress a tree. So far 4 out of 12 trees have been taken, so the others are up for grabs. It could be a society, a street or just a group of friends that want to get together to do this. Do let Andrew R (202) know if you would like to join in. There is no theme so you can choose your own and be as imaginative as you wish.

Posted in Events on Sunday September 27, 2009| Leave a Comment »
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.
Congratulations to Cassie and Dan

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
