Just to keep everyone in the loop the Parwich Carnival and Recreation Committee are not going to make any decisions on the Wakes Programme up until the last minute! We will follow all of the government guidelines around COVID-19 and depending on the situation Wakes may look a little different this year but if we are permitted then we will work closely with the Odd Fellows, Legion and Sycamore and we are are hopeful that some sort of programme can be achieved. It’s a watch this space scenario and if we are allowed with the help of the Community we will do the best we can to make it the best we can.
Stay safe and well
Parwich Carnival and Recreation Committee

A male golden lab has arrived at the pub with no owner in sight. He’s a biggish lad and has no collar on.
Jane and Kirsty are keeping him safe, please go and collect him asap.

It can’t be much fun having a “BIG” birthday at this time but Carol, and all his friends in Parwich, would like to wish Alan a very happy 70th birthday – despite the restrictions, we are sure he will make the most of it! Have a great Birthday Alan!

It has been brought to our attention that many of our most vulnerable residents
may be missing out on essential support because they haven’t responded to a recent NHS letter, delivered to them as they are classed as being clinically extremely vulnerable to coronavirus.
Unfortunately, as a district council, we have no way of knowing who these residents are. Worse, some are likely to be difficult to reach via our usual communications channels. It would be much appreciated therefore if you could spread the word in your communities.
We have today launched a campaign urging family and friends to register for support on behalf of people who have received the NHS letter – anyone can do this online at www.gov.uk/coronavirus-extremely-vulnerable
We’re also again encouraging anyone not classed by their GP or hospital clinician as being clinically extremely vulnerable, but still needing support, to register for help via the County Council’s Community Response Unit atwww.derbyshire.gov.uk/gethelp or call 01629 535091 Monday to Friday 9amto 5pm and Saturdays 9am to 1pm.
You can share our Facebook campaign post here or re-Tweet our Twitter post here. We are also issuing this to our e-newsletter database and to local media.

I think we will get blue bins collected on Thursday. No Green garden bins or food caddies.

Our Parwich delivery is a collective delivery to one point in the village. This reduces social contact for everyone, including the delivery driver, and enables one delivery charge to be shared amongst us all. If you want a delivery to be made to your own house then you will need to order separately and pay the delivery charge.
We have had a really good response for the delivery so any charge for the collective delivery should be small.

Firstly, thank you all so much for getting involved and helping to decorate our beautiful village for Easter, it’s been fantastic to see everyone’s creations whether they’ve entered the competition or not.
All the entries have been great, and it’s made Val and John’s job of judging them a real challenge. They’ve chosen their winners based on the love and effort put into creating them. The winners are:
Under 7’s: Doug and Lily
7 – 15’s: Eva Jones
15 up: Glynis D
Prizes will be delivered tomorrow!
Thank you to Val and John K for judging for us, and big thanks once again to everyone for joining in and making this very strange Easter a special one for us all.
Thanks and stay safe, Rosie

There has been enough interest to justify a Lestor Lowe delivery. Please place and pay for your order with Lestor Lowe and let them know that you would like to be part of the Parwich delivery which is coming to Nethergreen Farm. When it arrives I’ll contact everyone to come and pick up individually allowing for social distancing.
It is helpful to have an idea of who is ordering and a rough idea of what they are ordering as it helps in coordinating with Lestor’s and also with splitting up any delivery charge. So if you haven’t been in touch already and you place an order it would help me if you could let me know.
Lestor Lowe’s number is 01335 342472. I think they will be closed today (Easter Monday). You may have to persevere to get hold of them as they are very busy.
Estimated delivery date Wednesday 22 April. Orders in ideally by this Friday (17th)

ASHBOURNE FOODBANK thanks everyone for their generosity and support and has said
that: “Local demand for your foodbank has gone through the roof and we wouldn’t be able to support so many local people without your help. Please could we ask a massive favour from all of you, could you please pick some of these items in your next shop. It would mean the world to us.”
The next collection for Ashbourne Foodbank is from the bus shelter on Parwich Green and will be at 1.30pm on Friday 17-4-20. Items they are in particular need of, are in their poster.
Thank you
Lesley B

8 bread crates, they’ve been used in the greenhouse and garden so will need a brush off. Free to collect from The Orchards. We’ll leave them at the gates, take as many or as few as you’d like.

If we can get enough people interested LL delivery will be around Wednesday 22 April. Please let me know by the end of Wednesday 15 April whether you would like to be part of the delivery. There is no restriction on what you order, it is not just for animal feeds, compost etc is fine!
If I know that we have enough people by Wednesday I can let everyone know whether we are going for it or not in time for you to order and pay LL direct by Friday. I currently have 5 people interested, last time we had about 15.

Hello! I wonder if you are aware whether the Easter church service is being recorded and put on line please? My parents live in the village and they’d really appreciate this if possible ( although the challenge will be to get them to be able to see it on their tablet!!!). Thanks so much and for all your hard work
Stay safe

I have a gas BBQ that I no longer use. It has a gas bottle with it but I’m not sure how much gas is in it. If anyone would like it I can leave it at the end of my drive for collection. I just though with the weather improving and everyone staying at home someone might be able to make some use of it. If anyone’s interested please comment on this post.

Normal recycling collections set to restart on 15 April
GOOD NEWS! From the middle of next week Serco aim to resume normal collections of recyclable waste here in Derbyshire Dales, although garden waste collections will remain temporarily suspended.
They will be taking as much excess recycling waste as they can, utilising the vans that are transporting staff to rounds to meet social distancing regulations. This will keep the recycling trucks operating for longer. Please note how to properly present any excess recycling on DDDC website at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/excessrecycling

Since the last Lestor Lowe delivery a number of people have asked me whether we will be having another delivery. I have spoken to LL and they tell me that delivery would be in about 2 weeks time . Could you let me know as soon as possible if you think you would wish to place an order so that I can see whether it will be worth while booking a delivery slot?

Hi all,
I’m using some of my time on furlough to make scrub bags for the Derby Royal, and others who need them. The idea is that at the end of their shift nurses, Dr’s etc put their scrubs straight into a washable bag and tie it up before taking it home and putting it straight into their washer, removing the need to touch contaminated clothes once home.
I’ve made my first batch but am now running short of fabric. Would anyone have any pillowcases, duvet covers or fabric they be happy to donate. Pillowcases would be ideal as they’re quick to convert, fabric would need to be a half meter minimum.
If anyone could help donate then please contact me via rosieposie2052@hotmail.com or 07712 481 197.
I’m happy to collect from wherever you’re located. Any help at all would be gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Rosie
