Bob Matthews Quiz a great success
Posted in Events, Gardens, Pub, Quiz, Societies on Monday October 20, 2014| Leave a Comment »
The Horticultural Society asked that we thank everyone that made this year’s Quiz such a success, particularly the Matthews family for their on going support, but also Bill for setting the quiz and Janet for hosting the event.
The new Trophy is pictured to the right, and it will be permanently housed in the Pub so that it does not get chance to hide itself this year
With ten teams the pub was full and a good time was had by all. The winning team was the Khaki Campbells.

Parwich Ladies Trip to Cromford Canal
Posted in Events, Societies on Friday July 4, 2014| Leave a Comment »
All is set fair for our two-hour (10.30-12.30) trip on Cromford Canal on Wednesday 9th July. Let’s hope we have a sunny day!
We have booked 20 ‘Seniors’ seats on the canal boat for a two hour trip (10.30-12.30) at a cost of £4.00 each. It look as though we may have two spare places, if anyone (male or female, all are welcome!) would like to join us please give me a ring on 519…
After the boat ride we plan to have lunch together at Wheatcroft’s Wharf, the café and bookshop beside the canal. They sell soup, salads, quiches, paninis, sandwiches and cakes etc. Unfortunately they don’t take advance bookings, so we can’t make any firm arrangements.
There is a pleasant walk along the canal, and some of us may fancy doing that afterwards, or perhaps exploring the mill or the shops at the mill across the road.The plan is that everyone will be meeting on the green at 9.30ish on Wednesday morning to arrange sharing lifts etc, aiming to leave Parwich at about 9.45, to give us plenty of time.There is a car park close to the canal.

Open Gardens 2014
Posted in Events, Gardens, Societies on Tuesday June 24, 2014| 1 Comment »
With great weather, home-made scones and stunning gardens it was hardly surprising that we had a record attendance at this year’s open gardens. Garden owners and volunteers can be justifiably proud of their hard work and resultant success. The event is organised by Parwich & District Horticultural Society. The bumper proceeds will be used to underwrite the main Flower & Vegetable Show in September, and then the Society will allocate support for local groups and causes.
Here are a few photos I took around the Memorial Hall, but, if any readers have photos of the gardens, please do send them in to the Blog (parwich@hotmail.co.uk):
