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.

A Bird’s Eye View

Posted in 2009, Church, Events, Oddfellows, Posts of Note on Saturday May 2, 2009| 1 Comment »

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.

Moonwalk Coffee morning a great success‏

Posted in 2009, Events, People, Posts of Note on Thursday April 23, 2009| Leave a Comment »

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.

St George’s Day & The Church Fete

Posted in A52s, British Legion, Church, Cyberscouts, Events, Oddfellows on Friday April 17, 2009| Leave a Comment »

stgeorgeAs 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

pates3This is the final Lent Lunch of the year and it is being held at John & Marion Fuller-Sessions – Orchard Farm.  Pop in anytime on Thursday 26th March from 12.30pm, with lunch finishing at 2pm.   (If you know that you are definitely coming let Marion know on 519 – but otherwise just pop in – there will be plenty of food!!)
