Two local singers will be appearing at the Memorial Hall this Sunday:
Fresh from the Y-not Festival and the Wirksworth Festival Hazel B will be welcoming people as they arrive at the Village Tea Party at 4pm and then playing a set at approximately 6pm.
She will be followed by a very well know local singer (at approximately 7pm) Don Keyworth, who needs no introduction.
All are welcome and there are no admission charges.
There will be wine and fruit juice and nibbles!
But also the Legion will be open for drinks from 6pm.
The new Memorial Hall Sculpture
Posted in Arts, Memorial hall on Tuesday September 25, 2012| Leave a Comment »
One purpose of Art is to get people talking, and presumably Community Art is to get communities talking. Well here are some photographic teasers of the new Memorial Hall Sculpture. To find out more, come along to the unveiling on Sunday.
The children of Parwich Primary School did drawings of the sort of sculpture they might like to see created for the Memorial Hall, which will be exhibited in the Hall on Sunday afternoon. Some of their ideas were incorporated into the final piece. At the risk of shooting myself in the foot, what sort of community sculpture would you like to see installed where? Remember this is a public forum! Peter T.

A new Sculpture for Parwich
Posted in 2012, Arts, Events, Memorial hall, People, Posts of Note on Tuesday September 18, 2012| 1 Comment »
Parwich Memorial Hall has commissioned a sculpture by local artist blacksmith Hayley Powell. Everyone will know her cuckoo by the Cuckoo Gate in Monsdale Lane (if not go and have a look). Here is a reminder of the unveiling of this in 2006 at a village picnic, that was very well attended despite a clash with the Wimbledon Men’s Final:
Hayley made the cuckoo sculpture when still an A-level student at QEGS; she has since then taken her degree and is now working full-time as an artist and blacksmith (trading as Forever Forged based at Claymills Victorian Forge near Burton on Trent).
Here are some more recent photos of Hayley and her work.

Tomorrow – Film Night

Tomorrow – 7.45pm – Memorial Hall
The film that everyone has been waiting for! A group of British retirees decide to “outsource” their retirement to Best less expensive and seemingly Exotic India. Enticed by advertisements for the newly restored Marigold Hotel and bolstered with visions of a life of leisure, they arrive to find the palace a shell of its former self. Though the new environment is less luxurious than imagined, they are forever transformed by their shared experiences, discovering that life and love can begin again when you let go of the past.

Parwich Panoramic Five raises £392

Graham J writes:
Thanks to all those who helped on the PP5 night – we managed to raise £392, which will again go to Parwich Memorial Hall funds.
This year, the race itself raised £315 – which was a bit down on last year, due to a slightly reduced entry (were we competing with a small event in London?) – and we spent a bit more on trophies and prizes. Sandra and Fiona added a further £77 through their hard work on the raffle on the night.
Thanks again to all who helped and made it such a fun evening for both runners and spectators.

Parwich Village Photograph
Posted in 2012, Events, Memorial hall, Photography, Posts of Note on Friday June 8, 2012| 1 Comment »
We had an excellent turnout for the Parwich Village Photograph taken at the Memorial Hall last Tuesday. The picture was taken slightly early to take advantage of a lucky lull in the rain.
Many thanks to all for putting up with the ‘arrangement’ of the group and also to John F-S for taking the picture.
You can click here to download a high resolution copy of this photograph. Click on the little picture that appears, then select ‘File’ and ‘Download’. The picture may take a short while to transfer to your computer.
You can also order a colour A4 print of the picture using this form. Photographs cost £1.50 each. The form must be received, together with a cheque, by Saturday 16th June 2012 so the prints can be ordered.
Hope you can spot yourselves clearly!

Setting up for Afternoon Tea
Posted in Memorial hall on Tuesday June 5, 2012| Leave a Comment »
There were lots of volunteers this morning to help with sandwiches and when they had finished they carried on and set up the Memorial Hall, so help is no longer needed at 2pm. If anyone can help clear up at the end, that would be appreciated.
Well done to the helpers and the Hall looks beautifully festive.

Parwich Memorial Hall
Friday 8th June 7.45pm
Free Entrance…..Refreshments…..Raffle
Based on the book War Horse, this exciting film is set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War. It begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets – British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter – before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land. Directed by Steven Spielberg
