We will be updating the Parwich.org Diary page early next week, so if you have any Alsop, Ballidon, Parwich or Pikehall events (February and March) that you want to go in the Diary in time to be included in the Peak Five Church Magazine’s February issue please send them in by Monday (22nd of January).
Including our Diary in the Church magazine is important as it helps you reach some of those who are not on-line.

If they have not been grabbed by Saturday then we will take them to Encore Reuse.Call Ed on 661 if you are interested.

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
Crude continues to rise, passing $70 dollars a barrel at one point this week this week, reaching a three year high.
If you have not checked your tank for a while, I would recommend a visual inspection as we have had a number of reports from members about malfunctioning meters. With a cold snap due next week we do not want members to run out and deliveries will be subject to weather and supply conditions so we urge members to order early and allow plenty of time for delivery to avoid any problems.
Please also note, due to a change in the legislation on credit cards, from the 13th January suppliers will no longer able to pass on the credit card fees they are charged by the card companies. Many are therefore advising they can only accept debit card payments.
We have secured a rate and our clubs group oil order terms for this weekend are as follows:
Rate: £0.4750 per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

My cat has been missing since yesterday she has been going off in the day she’s only young she’s tortoiseshell. It’s worrying as she has to have a special diet due to health reasons she has come back a few times and she’s been sick all over the house, she was due at the vets yesterday but I could not find her anywhere! I hope you can help,
Thankyou

Hello….I am from Saskatchewan, Canada. My Grandfather George Taylor Prince was born in Parwich and came to Canada in 1903. He left behind his parents,Thomas and Martha Prince and siblings, Sarah Jane, Annie, Martha, Louisa and half siblings, Fanny Hadfield, Clifford and William Hadfield.
Annie Prince married Eli Higgenbbottom and had seven children: Horace, Fred, Albert, Annie, Jessie, Harold and Hubert. Would anyone have information on surviving relatives of Annie and Eli Higgenbottom’s children. Any information or suggestions on how to locate would be greatly appreciated. (I have come to a dead end on Ancestry.com)
I thank you in advance for any help….Sorry, I meant to include the information that my Grandfather George Taylor Prince and his family are from the Parwich area.

We have received the following from DDDC:
Free Christmas tree recycling in the Dales
From 8 January Derbyshire Dales District Council will be helping local people recycle their real Christmas trees.
All residents have to do is place the tree at the edge of their property on their usual green/recycling day collection before 2 February and the tree will be composted along with other garden materials.
Any tree over 5ft in length must be broken or sawn down to a manageable size, with decorations and plant pots removed. Alternatively, trees can be taken to the nearest household waste recycling centre.
Plain Christmas cards and wrapping paper can be included in residents’ kerbside cardboard and paper recycling to be collected by the District Council’s contractor Serco. Foil-backed and glittery cards and paper should not be included, but placed in general household waste grey bins or black sacks.
Excess recycling can be placed at the side of recycling containers, but residents should make sure it is easily identifiable and suitably contained in a transparent container such as a stacker box rather than a black bag.
Any excess card, paper and magazines must be separated from other excess recycling such as glass, plastics, cans, beverage cartons, aerosols and foil trays.
Cardboard should be flattened after removing all staples, packaging tape and polystyrene and bubble wrap. Any pieces that will not fit in a recycling container can be flattened and placed next to the container for collection – large cardboard boxes should be flattened and broken down into smaller pieces no wider than 0.5m to fit the recycling compartment of the coll

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
The continued cold spell and high demand for heating oil is keeping suppliers on their toes. Please do not allow your tank to get too low before you order. You may wish to visually inspect your tank rather than rely on your meter as we had a number of members run out as they had not ordered due to incorrect meter readings!
Please can you ensure you have allowed plenty of time for your delivery. Delivery this time of year is subject to weather conditions and supply. If you are about to run out in the next two or three weeks you may wish to make an express order with a local supplier to ensure your tank does not run dry. If you are not sure who to use please do drop me a note.
Due to a change in the legislation on credit cards from the 13th January, many suppliers will no longer accept credit cards as they are no longer able to pass on the credit card fees they are charged. Many are therefore advising from next weekend they will only accept debit card payments.
We have secured a rate and our clubs group oil order terms for this weekend are as follows:
Rate: £0.4950 per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])
