Film Night Tonight
Posted in Events, Films, Memorial hall on Friday April 15, 2011| Leave a Comment »
From the director of Calendar Girls comes a new comedy-drama with an all-star British cast.
The film stars the award winning Sally Hawkins as Rita O’Grady, who is the catalyst for the 1968 Ford Dagenham strike by 187 sewing machinists which led to the advent of the Equal Pay Act. Working in extremely impoverished conditions and for long arduous hours, the women at the Ford Dagenham plant finally lay down their tools when they are reclassified as “unskilled”.
With humour, common sense and courage they take on their corporate paymasters, an increasingly belligerent local community, and finally the government itself. The leader of the women’s struggle is fast-talking, no nonsense Rita, whose fiery temper and occasionally hilarious unpredictability proves to be a match for any of her male opponents, and is echoed by Barbara Castle’s struggle in the male-dominated House of Commons.
The film stars a host of Britain’s finest acting talent, including Sally Hawkins (Happy-Go-Lucky, It’s A Wonderful Afterlife), Bob Hoskins (The Long Good Friday, Mona Lisa), Miranda Richardson (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), and Rosamund Pike (Pride & Prejudice, An Education).
In the warm and comfortable Parwich Memorial Hall on
Friday 15th April at 7.45pm.
Free Entrance … Refreshments … Raffle
Silent projection … Hi Fi Sound … Special hi-fi headphones for those with hearing difficulties; please ask.

On page six of the Spring 2011 edition of “Dales Matters” (which is the magazine that is distributed to all households served by Derbyshire Dales District Council), there is a feature on last year’s opening of Parwich Memorial Hall. The construction project was awarded £2000 of financial support by DDDC’s Community Fund, which went towards the insulation of the hall’s exterior walls.

(The blog team apologises for the lateness of this post. We are rather short-staffed this week, so anyone wishing a post to be made over the next few days is best advised to contact us as soon as possible.)
Circuit Training at the Memorial Hall resumes Thursday evening (6th Jan) at 6pm after the Christmas break.
You don’t need to have started from the beginning – anyone can join at any time, and come to as many or as few sessions as you like.
All abilities are catered for – perhaps now is the time to try to start working off that extra helping of Christmas pud?
We Want Your Concerns – email or attend tomorrow’s meeting
Posted in Memorial hall, Police on Sunday December 12, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Dear Resident
We are introducing a new e-forum (email forum) to the Police Community Messaging Service, which will give you the chance to contribute to the setting of priorities in your neighbourhood.
As you may be aware, each of our Safer Neighbourhood policing teams hold a meeting every three months to set priorities, offering residents the chance to select what their local police officers and other agencies target.
The aim of our e-forum is to make it easier for you to have a say on priorities, so email and tell us what you would like your team to target.
Your concerns will be sent to the Tissington area Safer Neighbourhood Team and they will discuss all responses at their next forum meeting which will be held on:
Monday 13th December 2010 at 7.30pm
at Parwich Village Hall
Each team works in partnership with local agencies, which include parish, town, district and county councils, housing associations, Derbyshire Youth Service, Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service, Neighbourhood Watch among others, to help keep your area a safe, clean and pleasant place to live.
Priorities can include a wide variety of issues, including anti-social or nuisance behaviour, graffiti or vandalism, speeding, parking or anything which you feel impacts on the quality of life for you and your neighbours.
You are still more than welcome to attend the meeting if you would prefer to speak to officers in person or you can also call our non emergency telephone number, 0345 123 33 33. The old 0845 number will be deactivated from 31st December, so please always use the number highlighted.
Yours faithfully,
Chief Superintendent Peter Lewis
High Peak and Derbyshire Dales (B Division)

Pilates
Posted in Memorial hall, Sport on Tuesday November 2, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Formation of a Pilates Committee – Tomorrow night at 7.30pm.
Please come along and support this venture, which hopefully may lead to subsided classes for teenagers and the over 60’s.
We are hoping to apply for a grant to subsidise Pilates for 11-18 year olds and the over 60s. We already have a lively group of teenagers who have a class from 7.30 -8.30pm on a Wednesday, but we would like to reduce the amount they pay to encourage more to take part. We would also like to apply for funding to hold some taster classes for the over 60s, with gentle stretching exercises that could be done in a chair for those with reduced mobility. Due to the availability of the hall they would probably take place in the afternoon, maybe followed by refreshments.
In order to apply for a grant we have to be a group with a bank account. We are intending to keep this as simple as possible with minimal committee members and meetings, however we will need to have an inaugural meeting to agree a constitution and appoint committee members and this will take place at 7.30pm on 3rd November, immediately after the Pilates session, at the Memorial Hall.
Please come and support this, whether you currently do Pilates or not. Anyone with ideas for the over 60s sessions would be particularly welcome. Rebecca 390318

Memorial Hall use
Posted in Memorial hall, Opinion on Sunday October 10, 2010| 6 Comments »
Many people in the village will have received a flier advertising an event in the small meeting room at the Memorial Hall on Monday afternoon. This has prompted the following email from Keith Parsons. This email does not reflect the views of the Blog Team, who request potential commentors to confine their remarks to the issues.
BAN AND BOYCOTT THIS COMMERCIAL EVENT !
On 22nd June I wrote to Mike Gerrard-Pearse to complain about his statement at the Hall AGM that non-local and business rates had now bee set for use of the new Hall.
Specifically he said, “Booking rates have increased as reported last year – local rates have increased by £1 or £2, non-local have increased by £5 & a new commercial rate has been introduced.” (more…)

Despite rumours that their tribute band the B52s were stepping in, everyone was ecstatic when the real A52s took the stage last night.
As our roving photographer commented:
What a professional looking lot. And you’re never too young to start!”

Lost terracotta pot
Posted in Classified adverts, Flora, Memorial hall on Monday September 6, 2010| Leave a Comment »
A terracotta pot, approximately 6 inches tall with black writing on the front was left behind in the Memorial Hall at the end of yesterday’s Flower and Vegetable Show. It had been holding a mixed bunch of herbs and if anyone knows where it was put could you please let me know.
With thanks, Rita
Updated 8/9/10: Rita would like to thank the Horticultural Society for keeping her pot safe and returning it to her.

After taking a year’s break in 2009, Parwich’s annual horticultural show returned in fine style on Sunday, with another stunning display of local vegetables, fruits, flowers, pot plants, cakes, loafs, flans, biscuits, jams, chutneys, eggs and other assorted goodies.
Three excellent new categories were introduced this year, two of them (the trifles and the sculptures made from bar snacks) being specifically designed to showcase the skills of Parwich’s menfolk. There were also plenty of entries in the horticultural photography competition, which saw the memorial hall’s brand new display boards being put to use for the first time. Thanks are due to the organisers of the Parwich Panoramic Five, for raising most of the funding for these new boards.
Prize giving took place at 3pm, with Jo Larkin presenting the winners with their trophies. Full results will follow shortly. The day then concluded with the traditional auction of produce, as officiated by Robert Bunting.
Many thanks to the Horticultural Society, for organising such a well-run and popular event.
Landscaping of the Memorial Hall
Posted in 2010, Gardens, Memorial hall, Posts of Note, Societies on Friday August 20, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Today the planting was completed (well almost) at the Memorial Hall. There are 8 plants outstanding, which will be planted when the grass seeding is done in September. All bar one of the beds has been muched and this final one will be covered over the weekend, once we have planted the hundreds of snowdrops that were donated by different people in the village.
It is super to see the final phase completed ready for the Official Opening on the 25th September, to which everyone is invited. Again a huge thank you has to go to the Horticultural Society for their massive financial contribution towards the planting and to those individuals and groups that donated the 5 trees.
Bits & Pieces regarding the Hall
Posted in Memorial hall on Thursday August 19, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Now the hall is finished, any bits and pieces that were being rehoused during the build can be returned, if you have things like tables, chairs, crockery etc please either drop them into Janet at the Pub or give her a ring on 212.
The landscaping of the hall will be done tomorrow. The landscaping company, Pople will be out about 8.30am and planting will take much of the day. It would be greatly appreciated if people could avoid using the car park.

Parwich Panoramic Five raises £448.55
Posted in Events, Memorial hall, Sport on Saturday August 7, 2010| 1 Comment »
The increased entry this year (107 runners in the senior event and the junior events more than doubled) has had a positive effect on the money raised from the race evening from £ 313.00 in 2009 to £ 448.55 this year, which will go toward the Memorial Hall as it did last year. It is envisaged that this will go towards display boards, for use by Stepping Stones and other groups.
There are so many people to thank that it would be a difficult task to list them all, but special thanks go to all the marshals, the first aiders, the ladies on registration who kept working on the timesheets long after the race was over, all our roving photographers and Sandra who organized a raffle which raised £65.00.
We received a lot of positive feedback from the runners who commented on the quality of course marking, marshaling and slick registration. Thanks to all – we are already looking forward to next year.

Update on Landscaping at the Memorial Hall
Posted in Memorial hall on Tuesday June 22, 2010| Leave a Comment »
It was clear that on the day of planting there were problems with the standard of the plants and soil. The committee immediately expressed their dissatisfaction, and from that moment have been liaising with the Landscaping Company and Wildgoose, but unfortunately things always take longer when you have to pursue things in a professional manner.
Today, 20 tons of topsoil were delivered. Some of the beds have been excavated to remove the soil, whilst others have had smaller amounts of soil removed before being topped up and the beds at the rear are having their soil levels generally raised. The beds excavated by the community notice board were done so in an attempt to remove as much of the existing bindweed as possible and minimise this problem. The landscaping company has removed the majority of the shrubs; new ones will be sourced, inspected, planted and bark mulch will be added to all beds. It will be several weeks before the planting is redone.
Childrens’ Show

There were some wonderful entries in the Parwich Horticultural Society Childrens’ Show this year. It was clear that a lot of hard work and imagination had gone into the entries. Many thanks to the children (and parents!) who worked so hard to create such a fine set of exhibits. Well done especially to all those who won prizes!
Below is a gallery of the entries. Click on each picture to enlarge it.
