The foodbank collections on a Friday from the bus shelter has been cancelled until further notice. Many thanks to those who donated for your support and generosity. Parwich donated a total of 21 bags of groceries over a 3 week period (7 + 11 + 3) which will have been a great help to those in need of assistance.
You can still donate to the foodbank via various collection points in Ashbourne. These are at M&S, Sainsbury’s & Co-Op. Thank you. L.B.

It can’t be much fun having a “BIG” birthday at this time but Carol, and all his friends in Parwich, would like to wish Alan a very happy 70th birthday – despite the restrictions, we are sure he will make the most of it! Have a great Birthday Alan!

Christine Williams, our faithful church organist, is moving from Brassington
to North Wales at the end of the month. Today in church we thanked her for
25 years of service, and gave her a cheque towards her purchase of a tenor
saxophone. Christine has not only played the organ but also assembled and
directed choirs for our special services. Happy moving!

Hello Everyone,
As most of you already know Brian and I are about to move across the village out of Blanche Meadow Farm to Lower Monsdale House ( formerly Stubley) on Creamery Lane. We hope you will welcome Marie Rippingale and Francis Boyer to the home we have loved and cherished for nearly 40 years. They are looking forward to village life and I have really sold it to them as a lovely friendly village .
Meanwhile Brian and I are finally looking forward to retirement- a bit of bowls, drinking in the pub and Legion , no gardening, until the planning permission comes through and we start on the building work!Brian and Patti Beasley

I am Robert McCabe, son of George who passed away in Devon in December. As many of his old friends could not attend, we are having a memorial service at Alsop on Sunday the 8th of March. You will see reference to this in the diary but it does not say who the memorial is for. Would you be good enough please to mention this on you blog?
Many thanks
Rob

There will be a memorial service at Parwich church at 9.30 am on Sunday 2nd June 2019 where it is hoped all those people who knew Christine will attend to celebrate her life.
Initially at 09.30am the Ashes of Christine will be buried and also the blessing of a seat that is to be installed in her memory followed by a short Service in Church.
Thereafter we shall all adjourn to the Parwich British Legion where there will be refreshments.
Christine had died of her cancer on the 22/9/18 and we had enjoyed previously in October a cremation service at Arnold in Nottingham conducted by the Revd Christopher Harrison formerly our Parwich Vicar .
Colin hopes that many persons will attend, if not at the church, at the British Legion thereafter in memory of Christine whose presence so many of us enjoyed over the 30 years se was in Parwich.

CHICKS Children’s Charity offers much-needed respite breaks to disadvantaged children aged 8-15 from around the UK.
Our Daleside Retreat in Fenny Bentley is looking for volunteers to help support the work that we do.
There are plenty of different ways in which you could get involved – maybe fundraising or hosting a coffee morning, helping with crafts at events,
manning a CHICKS stand in Ashbourne, taking our collection tins out or even helping us with the garden.
This year we have plenty of exciting events planned including Tissington Well Dressings and The Dodson & Horrell Chatsworth International Horse Trials
You can volunteer for as much or as little time as you like – we are very flexible and do understand that it needs to fit round your existing
Commitments.
It’s a great opportunity to learn some new skills, meet new people within the community and become part of the larger CHICKS family.
If you would like to learn a bit more about volunteering for CHICKS please call Karen Robinson on 01335 350 525 or email: community@chicks.org.uk

A ‘Thank–you’ letter was received from the WW2 Child evacuee Joe (Joshua) Potter and his wife Linda, in which he would like to extend his gratitude to Catering 4 Parwich, the Local History Society and all those people who made their stay in Parwich so memorable. Mr & Mrs Potter very much enjoyed visiting the village and meeting his octogenarian peers at the Afternoon Tea party after so many years.
In fact, Mr & Mrs Potter enjoyed their stay so much that they have indicated that they would like to come and stay in Parwich again in 2019. We will keep you informed.

Jo (Joshua) Potter and his wife are staying in Parwich this week. He is a former evacuee who came here from Manchester when he was 7 in 1939. He and his younger brother were billetted with the Websters at Blanche Meadow Farm for some six years.
Catering 4 Parwich and Parwich Local History Society hosted a tea party this afternoon for people who attended Parwich School during WW2 to meet them and share memories. Despite several people being away the fifteen able to come had a very enjoyable time.
