Don’t forget to let me know before 4pm today where you will be in your fancy dress so we can plan the judges route. Following the judging all those in fancy dress are invited to join in a socially distanced parade around the village starting at 6pm from the Village Green. This will give more people in the village the opportunity to see you all.

Any questions please email lucywigley@googlemail.com

See you tomorrow

…and Food Caddy. However……

IMPORTANT MESSAGE – waste & recycling collectionsWe’re acutely conscious that bin collections in some parts of the Dales have not been happening to schedule in recent weeks – and we have demanded that our waste and recycling contractor, Serco, produces a workable catch-up plan no later than first thing tomorrow. There are some mitigating circumstances – a national shortage of HGV drivers is impacting not only on Serco locally but also on collection services provided by many other local authorities. However, we will not allow the current situation to continue and will take legal action if necessary to ensure your collections happen as contractually agreed by ourselves and Serco. It is likely that Serco’s catch-up plan will involve weekend working and we will post more information on all our communications channels as soon as we have clarity. We are obviously taking a lot of calls about missed waste collections right now, which we completely understand, but if you could please hold off until we have a catch-up plan to communicate, that would be much appreciated. Thank you – and our sincere apologies.

The Carnival and Recreation Committee are keen to carry on the tradition of a BBQ at the legion after the Treasure Hunt on Wakes Sunday, serving from 7.30pm, however we have hit two major stumbling blocks!! Firstly the legion BBQ is broken and secondly we have no cooks! We are therefore asking for anyone who has a BBQ they are willing to loan for the evening and even better willing to cook please let me know. The Committee will sort out all the food and be on hand to help with taking money and so on. The funds raised are an essential part of keeping Wakes and other Village events happening so fingers crossed there is a BBQ fairy out there. If you can help either tell Karen W or email me lucywigley@googlemail.com.

Thanks a million

Thank you Parwich. We have just had a lovely few hours wandering around looking at some great Easter creations. Here are just a few of the highlights and we still have the other side of the village to go!

Thanks to everyone who has contacted me about decorating your houses and gardens for the Easter weekend. Just to confirm this is an informal hunt – there isn’t a map and you don’t have to let me know, people can decorate at will and then wander around as they wish and try and spot some of the Easter themed creations.

I’ve already spied a few so thank you, hopefully they will bring a smile to lots of faces and I know some children very eager to go find them all (as long as I take some chocolate and treats along with us!).

Any questions at all please don’t hesitate to contact me – lucywigley@googlemail.com – and hopefully we will see some of you hunting over the weekend.

Happy Easter

Lucy M

This is just a quick note to say Wakes this year falls on Saturday 26th June. As you can see this is very close to the government date!! The Carnival Committee, Pub, Legion and Odd Fellows are all starting to plan what we can and can’t do. Obviously this will all depend on the rules set by the government but as soon as we know more we will let you know.

If anyone is willing to join the very small Carnival Committee, to help where you can, please email lucywigley@googlemail.com

Alternatively just drop me an email with any good ideas you have.
Thanks and keep your fingers crossed!

If anyone is willing I’d love to create an Easter Egg hunt around the village, over the Easter Holiday weekend. Be it eggs, chicks, rabbits or anything Easter related please decorate your houses and gardens so the kids can enjoy finding them.

Let’s turn Parwich into an Easter extravaganza and hopefully create a few smiles along the way.

Any questions please email me lucywigley@googlemail.com

Next week should see the restart of Green Bin collections plus delivery of the stickers for those subscribing to the new paid Green Bin service starting in April (An increase in Council Tax by any other name)

Best info I have at the moment is that Green Bin and associated Food Caddy collection is still suspended.

Green bin is due to start again week commencing 15th March. Food caddy continues to be fortnightly (with Grey bin) until crew numbers improve sufficiently.

Sam E has asked me to share the following..

One of our sheep has been attacked by a dog on Ballidon quarry ground. It has happened between 4pm yesterday and 10am this morning. She is heavy in lamb carrying 3 lambs, but is badly injured so is going to have to be put down. If anyone has any information please contact Sam on 07933 373677.

On behalf of the family I would like to thank each and every one of you who came to stand outside church on Friday for Alison’s funeral and to those who stood outside in Ballidon and along the roadside whilst we made our way into Parwich.
I would also like to thank you all for your kind donations which will be going to Cancer Research Uk.
We are sorry you couldn’t join us in church but here is Alison’s eulogy which Carl wrote and read for her. 
Thanks again, Shaun and family. 

Alison asked me some time ago if I would read out some words for her when this day came. She never got round to finishing what she wanted me to read but did leave instruction that I was to say something and I had to make it funny. So no pressure then…
