There will be a memorial service at Parwich church at 9.30 am on Sunday 2nd June 2019 where it is hoped all those people who knew Christine will attend to celebrate her life.

Initially at 09.30am the Ashes of Christine will be buried and also the blessing of a seat that is to be installed in her memory followed by a short Service in Church.

Thereafter we shall all adjourn to the Parwich British Legion where there will be refreshments.

Christine had died of her cancer on the 22/9/18 and we had enjoyed previously in October a cremation service at Arnold in Nottingham conducted by the Revd Christopher Harrison formerly our Parwich Vicar .
Colin hopes that many persons will attend, if not at the church, at the British Legion thereafter in memory of Christine whose presence so many of us enjoyed over the 30 years se was in Parwich.

EU Elections on Thursday

This Thursday (23rd of May) we are voting in the EU Parliamentary election, note if you don’t cast your vote, someone else’s choice will win.

In our region, the East Midlands, we have five MEPs, which in the outgoing Parliament were:

  • Rupert Matthews – Conservative (standing again)
  • Emma McClarkin – Conservative (standing again)
  • Rory Palmer – Labour (standing again)
  • Margot Parker – UKIP
  • Jonathan Bullock – UKIP (now standing for the Brexit Party)

In this election you vote by selecting your preferred party, however continue reading to find out about the very varied 2019 candidate lists. Continue Reading »

First Responders Need Help

Parwich Community First Responders need your help! Many of you will know we have a volunteer team of Community First Responders and we help people in emergencies by getting to them in advance of the professional ambulance crews, which can save lives. To keep us on top of our game, regular training sessions are important, as the ability to practice CPR is crucial.

We’re trying to raise funds from a scheme run by Calor Gas Ltd, which is based on the number of votes received, to buy a new training mannequin and are competing with other worthy causes to get our share of what’s available.

So, we need to have the most votes to get to the funds.

If you’d like to support our appeal, please can you click through on the link below and add your 10 votes that you’ll be allocated – it’d be a great help and hugely appreciated by the Parwich First Responder team. The deadline is Monday 17th June, so please don’t delay.

https://www.calor.co.uk/shop/communityfund/community-first-responder-training-equipment

If you’d like to know more about what the Parwich First Responders do, or have any questions about the life-saving defribulator located at The Sycamore pub, e.g. how to access it, then please call Martin on 390529, who’d be happy to explain it to you.
