Easter Egg hunt

Saturday March 13, 2021 by Lucy M

Hi everyone I’ve been a bit quiet recently but Easter is nearly upon us and the end of lockdown is in sight so I’m asking for hopefully one last hunt!

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

Thank You

Saturday March 13, 2021 by Fiona H

I’d like to thank all those people who have stopped by 6 Chestnut Cottages to wave to Alan.

It really cheers him up

I can’t thank you all enough, please continue, as the days get warmer we are hoping he will be able to sit out and chat to passers by. This is our goal, he misses socialising like so many others.

Thank you so much it really means a lot

Cricket Pavilion on Parsons Croft

Friday March 12, 2021 by Steve J

The cricket pavilion on Parsons Croft currently has very little use. But unfortunately it is becoming increasingly expensive to maintain.

This problem has been further compounded by a recent inspection which has confirmed the presence of asbestos cement wall panelling in its construction.

The Parish Council must decide what action to take. The link below will take you to a page of the Parish Council’s website which provides more information and an opportunity to answer a few simple questions about your own views on what should be done. 

Please help the Parish Council to understand your views when dealing with this issue.

Oil Price Up

Saturday March 6, 2021 by Steve J

FBF25C80-2C22-4991-8A46-7C20D86EC212
Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club

Brent Crude is up another $2 dollars to $68 a barrel today on news that OPEC+ will maintain production cuts into April, and the larger than expect inventory draws in the US as a result of the cold weather during February.
Delivery times are 7 to 10 working days from Club order on Monday. Please note, the delivery times on this order are estimated and subject to weather conditions and supply.

TIP: Get your order in before Easter – With the Easter holidays now only 4 weeks away, the demand (and therefore possibly the cost) for oil will be rising again, plus the bank holiday days over the long Easter weekend will increase delivery times if ordered too close to Easter. We suggest placing your oil order early enough to allow for any delays the increase in demand right before Easter may cause.

If you are already very low or have run out, this group order will not be suitable. Please do not order as we are unable to expedite deliveries at the moment.

Rate:  £0.3845 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

Snowdrops for Sale

Tuesday March 2, 2021 by Rosie W

There are bundles of snowdrops in the green (ready to plant now for a display next year) outside Rookery House. Money raised will go to Parwich and District Horticultural Society. Please place money in the jar provided and remember to hand sanitise afterwards.


Last year we raised around £160 from doorstep plant sales and donated the money to the Memorial Hall to help with running costs during the pandemic. Look out for more plants and vegetable seedlings as the spring gets going. Proceeds will be distributed later to help another village group in need.


Thank you,

Sue H

Covid Vaccination

Wednesday February 24, 2021 by Steve J

The NHS are now inviting all aged 60 and over to have their COVID vaccinations, just in case some people haven’t seen it. If you haven’t got your NHS number, the site sorts it anyway. It is through NHS, not your doctors surgery, allowing you to book both vaccinations, but the nearest centre is Derby.

Sunday February 21, 2021 by Steve J

FBF25C80-2C22-4991-8A46-7C20D86EC212
Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club

An increased draw on US oil reserves and reduced production due to the severe winter storms in the US push Brent Crude up to over $63 a barrel this week.
Please note the delivery times on this order are estimated and subject to weather conditions and supply. Therefore, please allow plenty of time for your delivery and do order early to avoid disappointment.

Upgrade your oil with additive – It is a good idea to upgrade your fuel to Premium fuel with a bottle of Exocet Additive (from £14.99 treating 1,000L). Exocet Additives lower carbon emissions, stabilise fuel, clean injectors, breakdown and inhibit sludge formation in your tank, and improve overall fuel performance and efficiency.

We have a selection of Additives available in The Oil-Club Store with discounted Club prices for our members. If you have an AGA or Range cooker (with a wick), then please ensure you order the Cooker Additive.

If you are already very low or have run out, this group order will not be suitable. Please do not order as we are unable to expedite deliveries at the moment.

Rate:  £0.3698 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])
