The Annual Open Meeting is at 7pm Thursday 3rd of April in the Memorial Hall. Come along! Although it is possible for parishioners to attend the ordinary Parish Council meetings, which are held on the first Thursday of each month, this is the one time in the year for local groups and villagers in general to get together and share information with the Parish Council and each other. Also it is your chance to meet your local parish councillors, as well as the district and county councilors representing us. PC Cooper, the Police Constable responsible for our area, also hopes to attend.

The direct bus service from Parwich to Derby that went every other Friday has been discontinued (as of 23rd March 2008). For the people that used the service this is a big loss. Now if people want to get to Derby by public transport (as well as to anywhere else) they have to change at Ashbourne. There is quite a good bus service from Ashbourne to Derby, but the Parwich bus does not always connect with it, potentially meaning that a 20 mile journey can take 3 hours or more, not ideal for a shopping trip or visiting friends and family in hospital. To commute to anywhere other than Ashbourne by public transport is an impossibility.
The 449 to Bakewell, which runs alternate Mondays continues as normal, which, unlike the Derby service, is not an essential journey for most of our bus users.
There have also been changes to who provides the 411 service to Ashbourne, so check for any timetable changes.
We are planning a section on the site covering transport links, so do let us know abut any public transport, taxi or other relevant information you have to share, or want to find out about. Also share any praises of or grips with the public transport serving Alsop, Ballidon, Parwich and Pikehall. Alternatively if you don’t use public transport tell us why not.

Here are some photographs from the grand opening of the new village shop, inside the Sycamore. Our local TV celebrity Tom Chambers was on hand to congratulate Janet, as were a whole crowd of well-wishers.
Inside the shop, you’ll find all the essentials, including fresh fruit and vegetables, free range Parwich eggs, tea, coffee, cereals, fresh bread, dairy products, canned and frozen food, household goods, sweets and crisps, and (as you would expect from a pub!) beer, wine and spirits. And if you’re quick off the mark, there are even some Easter eggs for sale.
As an added bonus, lunchtime and evening shoppers can stop and enjoy a pint or a glass of wine with their purchases – and what could be more civilised than that!
Thanks to John Fuller Sessions and Kevin Slater for the photos. To view the full set, please click here.

Our new village shop at The Sycamore is open today.
Congratulations to Janet. The opening times over the Bank Holiday Weekend are 10am – 9pm.
What if everyone in Parwich bought one thing this weekend, that would get things started.

On Easter Monday make your way to Alsop Church, refreshments are on sale from 11am -4pm. To quote Christine, an Alsop resident,
Monday will see us serving steaming mugs of freshly brewed tea and filtered coffee, with plates of luscious cakes for you to choose. We look forward to seeing you all.
Tea & Cakes are served at the Church every Bank Holiday Monday.

Although we can no longer buy daily national newspapers within the village, there are a number of alternatives.
For local newspapers, the new shop inside the Sycamore will stock the Derby Evening Telegraph and the Ashbourne News Telegraph (also the free paper the Peak Advertiser).
For newspaper deliveries, the MSR Newsgroup in Ashbourne offers a 7 day service. Phone 343943 to place your order, or call in at the shop at 25 Compton Street (next to the Sainsburys entrance, opposite the garage).
Other than that, the garage at Newhaven (just under 10 minutes’ drive from the centre of Parwich) stocks both the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mirror.
It’s also worth pointing out that there is a local milk delivery service which covers Parwich. Call J F Gibson on 310250 to add your household to their rounds. The service is based at Bostern Grange Farm in Thorpe.

Watch this space for more information on a new Shop in Parwich. (And keep your fingers crossed.) Janet is investigating the possibility of opening a shop in the Sycamore Inn. It would be in the dining-room and would not have as wide a range of goods as the old shop, but well done Janet! (NB There is a book in the pub for people to write down their thoughts on a shop at the pub.)

The Ashbourne Telegraph is now on sale at the Sycamore Inn. It comes out each week on Wednesday mornings. The pub is open at least from 12am to 2pm at lunchtimes and from 7pm onwards each evening.
Janet is also looking at providing the Derby Evening News, but needs at least ten people to sign up before they will deliver. If you want this paper contact Janet at the pub (tel. 01335 390212).

Sadly the Shop closed on Friday (29th Feb ’07). Although I will miss the facility to nip down the road whenever I find I need something, I will miss more the social aspect. Getting a Sunday paper meant chatting to people in the street, seeing the latest on the notice board; my record time to get a paper was seven hours and involved two impromptu meals. Alas no more.
Thanks to Emma and Jason for giving us a successful shop for five years, and best wishes to them and the children for the future.

Really sad news, in February our marvellous Spar shop will be closing – bad news for us all. Not much more I can say.
