The Parwich Carnival and Recreational Committee are struggling to find a location for this year’s bonfire and fireworks. They would like to hold it on Thursday 5th November – if you are willing and have a piece of suitable land please contact Lucy Maddocks, (lucywigley@googlemail.com), Dennis Laycock, Karen Wigley, Sandra Chadfield or any member of the Carnival Committee.
Thank you in advance

ET visited Parwich Wakes
Posted in Environment, Photography, Wakes, Weather on Tuesday July 7, 2015| Leave a Comment »
Apologies for the delay in posting these photos by David G submitted last Thursday, but we had to wait for approval from the MOD and NASA before posting:
NB: MOD (Master OddFellow Drinkers) and NASA (National Agency Supping Alcohol) are certain that this is an unidentified flying object. One in ten Californians have been abducted by aliens, what is more worrying: what it says about Calinornians or what it says about aliens? What are your thoughts on what was ET’s favourite event at this year’s Wakes?

Record Day @ parwich.org
Posted in About this site, Wakes on Friday July 3, 2015| Leave a Comment »
Yesterday saw the previous record of the number of hits (‘page views’) on the Blog smashed after two years. Yesterday we recorded 8,221 hits, around 2,000 more than the previous record.
Wakes is always our busiest week, with particular interest in the photographs. Photographs from a new contributor, Andy G, have proved popular, with Rob Laycock leaving the following comment:
These are superb photos, even the one of me taking picture at the hall is one of the better shots taken of me!
It was posted on one of the photos in the ‘A New Perspective‘ of Wakes Saturday (comments left on individual photos don’t appear in the list of recent comments, but we are more than happy to highlight it here).
Thank you for all the support from the community. It is your contributions that make the Blog.
