Wakes Week – The whole photo story
Posted in 2011, British Legion, Church, Competition, Events, Films, Memorial hall, Oddfellows, People, Photography, Posts of Note, Pub, School, Societies, Sport, Wakes, Young people on Saturday July 9, 2011| 2 Comments »
Another extremely successful Wakes Week is over and thanks must go to everyone who took part, spectators, participants, organisers and helpers, but without the hard work of the committee who meet, plan and co-ordinate the events we wouldn’t have this amazing week. So special thanks to Kerry Allsop, Janet Bainbridge, Sandra Chadfield, Roger Cundy, Liz Edge, Denis Laycock, Alan & Barbara Lowes, Paula Lynam, Sharon Swindell and Karen Wigley.
Next year’s Wakes begins on Saturday 30th June 2012.
The rest of this article contains all the Wakes posts and is a shortcut to any event or photo you may have missed. (more…)

Oddfellows Odes

OPENING ODE
Tune: “Stuttgart”
Outside the Sycamore Inn at the start of the parade
Brethren of our friendly Order,
Honour here asserts her sway;
All within her sacred border
Must her high command obey.
Join, Oddfellowship of brothers,
In this song of truth and love;
Leave disputes and strife to others-
We in harmony must move.
Honour to her courts invites us-
Worthy subjects let us prove;
Strong the chain that here unites us,
Linked with Friendship, Truth and Love.
In our hearts enshrined and cherished,
May these feelings ever bloom;
Falling not when life has perished,
Living still beyond the tomb.

Odd Fellows March 2010: Part Two.
Posted in 2010, Oddfellows, Photography, Posts of Note, Wakes on Saturday June 26, 2010| Leave a Comment »
The Odd Fellows march continued its way through the village, with further refreshment stops at Croft Avenue, Nethergreen and The Fold. Before leaving Croft Avenue, the band made a special detour up to Andrew and Rachel’s house: a kind gesture that was much appreciated by all. After leaving The Fold, it was time for a three-course roast beef lunch in the Memorial Hall, served up by Val K and her team.
Here’s our second photo gallery; please click on each picture to enlarge it.

St George’s Day Parade
Posted in 2010, Church, Cyberscouts, Events, Oddfellows, Posts of Note on Sunday April 25, 2010| Leave a Comment »
This morning’s St. George Parade started at the Legion, with the Parwich Odd Fellows (also supported by members of the Loyal Cavendish Lodge and their banner), the Cyberscouts and the Cadets all led by Doveholes Brass Band.
The procession made it’s way (via Parwich Hall) to the Church for a rousing service. All the hymns could be belted out, and were: “Guide me, O thou great Redeemer”, “Jerusalem”, “I vow to thee, my country” and “Onward Christian Soldiers”. The Vicar, brandishing a sword, gave an address on St. George as a Christian knight.
After the service the Parade continued on round the village before adjourning to the Legion.
Thank you to the Parwich Society of St. George for organising this event. For more photos (more…)

Can you remember?

Now here’s a conundrum…. Bill W asked me for the trophy for the next Oddfellow’s quiz which will be held shortly, and I couldn’t remember where it ended up. I know that the team I was on won it, but I don’t recall who took it home. If you have the trophy, please can you let me know? Thanks Graham.
