THANK YOU.
Our first visit to Parwich. We came with Notts DA, and found you all welcoming and friendly. You put a lot of hard work into Wakes week, and we very much appreciate your efforts, even the weather didn’t dampen your enthusiasm.
So thank you very much. Hope to see you next year.
Selwyn Williams, Lily and Tilly the dog.

I hope our own A52s don’t mind that we have brazenly lifted the following from their Facebook page:
The band is playing on home territory this Saturday (2nd July). Parwich Wakes is starting and a week of fun is about to start!
We will be playing on The Green starting around 9pm. For one night only we will be joined by guest drummer Alex Martin. Here’s a moody promo pic so you can see just what a cool bunch we are.
Hope to see you there!
