Horticultural Show: photo gallery
Posted in 2010, Flora, Memorial hall, Photography, Posts of Note, Societies on Sunday September 5, 2010| 7 Comments »
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.

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.

New Memorial Hall In Action
Posted in 2010, Events, Memorial hall, Photography, Posts of Note on Sunday June 20, 2010| Leave a Comment »
The new Memorial Hall was put to good use during Parwich Open Gardens this Sunday. It was great to see so many people buying plants, playing tombola, enjoying tea and scones in the main hall and drinking up the sunshine on the new terrace. Hard-working volunteers in the kitchen enjoyed the extra space and found the continuous hot water and ‘4 minute’ dishwasher to be of enormous use given the demand.
Below are a few pictures showing the new facility in action. Note the Children’s Show will be covered in another post.
