Winster Open Gardens – This weekend.
Posted in Events, Gardens on Friday July 18, 2008| Leave a Comment »
Saturday & Sunday
1.30-5.30pm
If you have never been to Winster’s Secret Open Gardens I can highly recommend it. The afternoon is not just about the Gardens but it is a whole occasion. With live jazz at one of the gardens, plenty of refreshments – cream teas in the Village Hall where you can also see the Winster Tapestry: whilst other gardens offer more refreshments from cream teas to home-made desserts with bucks fizz. Visitors follow a garden trail around the streets and alleys of the village, exploring a wide variety of gardens. There is a Gnome Hunt for children.
There is very limited parking in the village itself, but two free car parks: at the top of the village (on the B5056 above Miners Standard pub) and at the Wensley end of the village (on B5057, next to the school). A Park and Ride minibus service (with wheelchair lift) run from the Car Parks to Main Street and back. Tickets are available from both Car Parks and outside the Market House in Main Street. Tickets are £3.50 per person (children free, but must be accompanied) and the event is run in aid of the Burton Institute, Winster’s award-winning village hall, and other Winster organisations. There will be plants from Winster-based Peak Cottage Plants, and quality local crafts for sale.

Buntingo triumph in Tour de France
Posted in Events, News, People on Monday July 7, 2008| 4 Comments »
Parwich’s multi-talented sports leviathon Roberto Buntingo has allegedly been spotted in another prestige sporting event. Buntingo employed perfect tactics. He chose to stick with the pack for most of the race – eating his packup and whistling Whitesnake tunes as he went. Many could not believe how effortlessly he climbed the mountains of the notorious Mont Blanc stage. One unkind journalist said he thought he could see Roberto’s braces hooked onto one of the upfront racers, but we know it was his indomitable spirit and unparalleled toughness.
Then it happened. An early breakaway at Cromford saw the Pike Hall pedallist beat eight riders up the gruelling hill. Deadly rival Collinio Simmsio almost caught him at the Carsington chicane but in the end Roberto powered through to claim the coveted yellow jersey.
Who knows what sporting achievement RB will attempt next???

Complaint received by top athlete
Posted in Events, Wakes on Saturday July 5, 2008| 4 Comments »
Parwich.org would like to apologise to world class athlete Roberto Buntingo for a possible mis-reporting of the results of last Tuesday’s Hill Race. Apparently Roberto climbed the hill so fast that he left all the other runners far behind. Here’s photographic proof:
Dedication Service at St. Peter’s
Posted in Arts, Church, Events, History on Saturday July 5, 2008| Leave a Comment »
Sunday evening sees a special service when the Bishop of Repton will dedicate the new stained-glass Annunciation window in memory of Mrs & Miss Graham and the replica Tympanum. The theme of the service is one thousand years of Christian art.
6pm St Peter’s Church, Parwich
Dedication Service
All are welcome.
This is for all the community, not just the regular church attenders, and it is hoped that as many as possible will come to remember the Grahams, to enjoy the flowers and the history of our parish church, and to support the future of this fine building.
“You’re doing WHAT tonight????”
Posted in Events, Wakes on Friday July 4, 2008| 5 Comments »
This was the response I received when a work colleague asked me what I would be doing this evening. “Oh, I said, just a bit of ferret racing”.
Our traditional Friday Race Night at the Legion was well up to scratch. Local ferret breeders battled to find the finest ferret in the Thoroughbred Ferret Furlong – try saying that 10 times quickly! Local jockeys competed in the Legion Grand National, egged on by their sponsors and punters.
This evening marked the end of a wonderful Wakes week. Most of us are exhausted and need to go now for a bit of a lie down. Never mind lads and lasses….it’ll soon be next years Wakes!
The Ball Race
Posted in 2008, Events, Posts of Note, Wakes on Friday July 4, 2008| 1 Comment »
Deep in the bowels of Carnival Committee Headquarters, fevered brainstorming led to a radical change in location and setup for this year’s ball race. Light, flimsy plastic balls were jettisoned in favour of sturdy tennis balls – Andy Murray no longer needs them! Gone also were the low-tech crates used last year to hold and release the balls. This year’s solution was…….a digger!!!! Never let it be said that the Committee doesn’t think big!
Concert next week.

What the papers say
Posted in Events, Farming, News, Young people on Wednesday June 25, 2008| 1 Comment »
In today’s (25th June 2008) Ashbbourne News Telegraph are the following our readers might find of interest:
P.6 A great page feature on Sunday’s Children’s Show (even though I say it myself). Seriously with four photos, a big thank you to the paper for including the results in full. Everyone including the children worked really hard, so it is good to get the recognition.
P.7 The 13th World Toe Wrestling Championship is to take place at the Bentley Brook Inn on Friday (6pm to 9pm). TV coverage and celebrities! However make sure you are not too hung over to enjoy Wakes Saturday.
P.9 Councillor Ray Caswell is to step down from Ashbourne Town Council because of ill health. Many will know Mr Caswell. We would like to take this opportunity to send Mr Caswell our best wishes, and look forward to his continued excellent representation of our ward (Dovedale Ward) on the County Council. (more…)
