There is no collection on bank holiday Monday (27 May) so all collections are one day later than usual that week, including a Saturday collection on 1 June (for usual Friday rounds). Details of which containers to put out can be found using our ‘when is my collection?‘ search facility.
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 the last election in 2014 there was a disappointing 33% turnout for our region. The Parwich polling station is the Memorial Hall with voting from 7am to 10pm.
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 »

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club

Rate: £0.4850 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

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.

Thanks to Caroline G for this –
Who owns the field which you walk through passed the toilets and up towards Littewood behind Stubley? There’s a break in the stone wall and several sheep and lambs are climbing over it through to that little hillock. Dogsdil is it called?

Results this week were a mixed bag, some surprisingly good, others disappointing, but nevertheless you can’t fault Parwich players for their commitment considering the awful weather conditions, particularly on Thursday afternoon – are we ever going to get some decent Spring weather?
Tuesday evening, we were at home to Bakewell; I get the feeling that they don’t really like our green, the gradients and it’s comparatively small size are totally at odds with Bakewell’s long, thin rectangle. No doubt you can guess that we won easily, 81-57.
Thursday afternoon was the opposite. We were playing away at Hazlewood (near Duffield) – a beautiful green surrounded by banks of flowers, but very large and very fast even though it was wet. Once again,we were hampered by being 2 players short, (come on Parwich! Surely there must be a few villagers out there who can join the club and keep it going in the future.) and by the fact that Hazlewood are second in the division. We lost 99-127.
It was great to see Audrey back playing again. Maybe we can get a full team for next week when we are at home to Hope Works.
We return to Hazlewood on Sunday for a friendly game. Friendly games are a good introduction to match play if we have any new members – let’s hope we perform better then!
