Hill Race Results Summary 2013

An excellent evening, despite the unreliable weather, with an increased number of entrants in the Junior Race, and some excellent performances from local youngsters. There was a reduced number of runners in the main Senior Race, which was won by C Patterson in 18min 54sec, slower than his winning time last year (this was over a different course because of the very wet conditions), but faster by 5sec than the 2011 winning time over the same course.
The quickest home in the Junior Race was D Evans in 12min 32sec, faster than his winning time of 13min 12sec last year.
Here are the winners in the various categories: (more…)

Senior Treasure Hunt Results
Posted in Wakes on Monday July 1, 2013| Leave a Comment »
An excellent turn out last night for the treasure hunt. It was a very close contest with many recounts taking place before the adjudicators were satisfied. With only one point separating each of the top five places, the winners were finally declared. Congratulations to the Goldstraw team who have the honour (!) of setting the questions next year.

Not Quite Over Parwich
Posted in Oddfellows, Wakes on Sunday June 30, 2013| 2 Comments »
Following our request yesterday, thank you for these Red Arrows photos taken shortly before their Parwich fly past; one by only a couple of minutes, but the other by a couple of months:
Hello to all,
The first photo was taken quickly as the Red Arrows flew over Nottingham in a flash, on the way to Parwich.
The second photo I took down in London on the day of the Trooping of the Colour.
Hope you all had a good day yesterday.Pam & I have visited Parwich on a number of occasions & have always been made very welcome with the friendliness of all.
Kind regards
Pam & John
Arnold, Nottingham
However does anyone have any photos taken closer to the Parade? Also can anyone resolve the conflicting claims of the Oddfellows and the Carnival & Recreation Committee as to who organised this mini local airshow?
All the fun of the Fair

Red Arrows Fly Past
Posted in Oddfellows, Photography, Wakes on Saturday June 29, 2013| Leave a Comment »
How did the Oddfellows organise the Red Arrows fly past at this morning’s parade? Perfect timing.
I took a couple of photos, but unfortunately my computer crashed at the wrong time while uploading them, and they seem to have gone. Did anyone else get any photos of this? If you did and are happy for them to go on the Blog please email them to parwich@hotmail.co.uk. Also any other Wakes photos are welcome.
Thank you, Peter

11.00 am – The Campsite “Songs of Praise Service”.
This year’s service will be held on the Campsite on Parson’s Croft. It will be led again this year by Rev. Andy Larkin. It is a popular event which brings together villagers, visitors, and our camping friends from Notts DA. The Service is followed by an opportunity to sit and chat, with tea and coffee provided by the campers.
12.00 noon – Fun and Games with the Campers.
Tug o’War and Volleyball are regulars at this friendly (but fiercely contested) sporting extravaganza, before we move on to more unusual competitions to test the skills of the participants.
6.00 pm – Treasure Hunts around the Village.
Assemble on the Green for a 6.00 pm start (even if it rains – and it usually does!)
For many years Pippa Sillitoe set our Junior Treasure Hunt for the under 14s. Pippa has now left the village and this year the questions have been set by Sharon Rankin. The Village Treasure Hunt for the over 13s has been set by Val Stevenson and Fiona Hadfield.
8.00 pm – Wakes BBQ at the Legion.
A chance to mull over the questions and decide just where you went wrong!
Sausages & pork burgers provided by Paul Dickinson.
