Parwich Alternative Film Show: Friday Feb 27th.
Posted in Events, Films on Tuesday February 17, 2009| 1 Comment »
Our next “alternative” film tells the story of the legendary singer Edith Piaf.
From the slums of Paris to the limelight of New York, Edith Piaf’s life was a battle to sing and survive, live and love. Raised in poverty, Edith’s magical voice and her passionate romances and friendships with the greatest names of the period — Yves Montand, Jean Cocteau, Charles Aznavour, Marlene Dietrich, Marcel Cerdan and others — made her a star all around the world. But in her audacious attempt to tame her tragic destiny, the “Little Sparrow” — her nickname — flew so high she could not fail to burn her wings.

Parwich praised at Village Conference
Posted in 2008, Events, Peak Park, Posts of Note on Tuesday December 16, 2008| 1 Comment »
Last Friday Adele Metcalfe and Dan Yates (the Peak District National Park Authority’s Community Planning Officers) organised an inspirational Peak District National Park Villages Conference. The day was intended to share ideas and experiences between villages. Parwich Village Action Group sent along a member of our Environment Sub-Group who was struck by how much Parwich has achieved and the opportunities that are open to us.
This day also served to highlight how much the Village Action Group and Parwich have benefited from the support of the Community Planning Officers, who are currently funded by European money due to end in March. At present further funding has not been identified, but the following report of the Conference illustrates how the Authority can not let this essential part of their work be lost – Peter Trewhitt (Village Action Group Chair):
Keynote speaker, Matthew Parris, Times correspondent and political journalist, fired off the opening salvo at a recent Peak District National Park Villages Conference by disagreeing with the quotation. In his own inimitable style he challenged us to consider the importance of local, regional and national government in facilitating the changes that communities at the grass root level need and require. It is neither a top down nor a bottom up process. It is by interweaving the will of people and communities to control their environment and lives with the appropriate mechanism that effects positive change. (more…)

A busy day.

Elvis Is Cancelled!

We’re sorry to report that Elvis has had to pull out of his performance at The Legion this Saturday evening. We understand that at this busy festive time, his shelf-stacking commitments in the Biscuit Department at Tescos have proved too much for him.
"It'll be a bloooooo Christmas without me........ Thank you very much."
No worries though! Shaun has stepped up to the mark and will provide us with one of his famous karaoke nights instead. Come on down and sing your hearts out!
