Village Bonfire and Fireworks

Oil Price Steady

imageUpdate for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club

Crude prices hover around the $56 a barrel but the fall in the pound, due to UK political uncertainty, has pushed the price of kerosene up further this week. As the weather turns cooler, suppliers are busy with delivery times 5 to 10 working days.

The rate on offer and  details for our clubs group orders for this weekend are as follows.

Rate: £0.3999 ( per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

The final figures are in and we have raised a huge £750 for the Parwich Independent Welfare Fund!

Thank you once more to everyone who contributed! Click here to read the previous post and for more photos….

If you know of anyone in need of help, or of someone who needs cheering up please contact Carl or Emma.

 

Broadband

Just wondered if anyone else, particularly on Creamery Lane, has noticed intermittent loss of internet connectivity or drops in speed lately?
Cheers,
Matt H – Barn Cottage

Thai Takeaway Night at the Legion

Subject to final approval at the next Parish Council meeting the Village Bonfire and fireworks will take place on Parson’s Croft on Sunday 5th November from 6pm.

There will be a bonfire, best guy competition (£5 prize), fireworks, raffle and refreshments.

Due to insurance costs and health and safety requirements we will be holding a raffle and have donation tins located around the site; please donate so we can continue to provide these events in the village. Please note that our insurance states that people must not bring their own fireworks to the site, this includes sparklers.

The bonfire site is the same as last year and is clearly visible so please bring along any dry wood, logs or dead branches but DO NOT bring anything with metal and nails such as mattresses, pallets or sofas.

Thank you and see you there!

Any questions please email Lucy at lucywigley@googlemail.com

Parwich Oddfellows Family Fun Day

Thoughtless Driving?

Having filled in and reseeded the ruts in the verges in my part of Creamery Lane some three weeks ago, the areas have had to have new earth and grass seed added some five times since then because of either stupidity or bad driving. The newly germinated grass seed does not survive being driven on. Today at lunch time I had to add more soil in three locations, one was obviously an abortive attempt at parking (completely unnecessary as there was plenty of on road space today), although the other locations can only be due to people driving off the road. However this afternoon someone seems to have deliberately driven off the road over part of the repaired area.

Please can people show a basic consideration and refrain from driving over the verges until new grass has been established.

Harvest Festival and Auction

We have received this from the Legion…..

OH, WHAT A SPREAD!!!

A massive congratulations to everyone involved in Sunday evenings Harvest Festival Auction of Produce which raised a cracking £700 for village good causes.

We say welcome and thank you to our new vicar, Rev Carollyn McDonald who opened proceedings by giving the Blessing – we feel that this will be a long and happy friendship and we can always find room for a camper van if you fancy trying a drop of something warming anytime.

If Heineken did auctioneers, it would be our very master of the gavel, Paul Cooper, who once again succeeded in whipping people into a frenzy of bidding fury – we bow to your expertise. He was ably assisted by our own dolly dealer Gill Evans, who also put together the fabulous packages donated by the Legion.

Special mention must be made to the Horticultural Society, who this year decided to combine their annual show with our own event. An overwhelming turnout in entries meant that their generosity in passing produce onto the auction swelled the coffers significantly.

And finally to everyone else who baked, made, grew, harvested, helped, bid, spent…….the list goes on and on and apologies to anyone we’ve missed.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for once again making our Harvest Festival a thoroughly heart warming and humbling occasion.

Open the Safe Continues….

Have you seen these hens…?

We have recently lost two of our hens (pictures below, though they look a bit more scruffy at the min due to moulting and unwanted male attention). One disappeared a couple of weeks ago and one went missing more recently. They are usually in the field between Pond Cottage and Veronica’s, and they wander up as far as the school. Has any one seen any hens wandering about in that vicinity, or had any unexpected additions to their flock? We have found no evidence of feathers (in the field or on the road), heard no unusual hen noise and we are not aware of any sightings of a fox. It’s all a bit of a mystery…. So we would be very appreciative if anyone can help.

Many thanks, Rob and Emma (tel. 203)

 

Logs for Sale

Approximately 3 tonnes of ash logs for sale – £120.

Can deliver locally.

Please contact Owen on 390286.

O2 Problems?

Just to let any O2 users in the village know that there is apparently an issue with the mast according to O2, hence no service on mobiles; they are aware of the problem but because the mast is maintained by a third party they have no date for its resolution. I have had no coverage at all since Monday (don’t get much coverage at the best of times) but 02 have now arranged to route my mobile calls through my landline so if anyone else is experiencing the same problem and doesn’t wish to miss incoming calls then give your provider a call from your landline.
