December Parwich Film Show I SWEAR

The film I Swear is a British drama based on the true story of John Davidson, a Scottish teenager who was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at age 15 at a time when it was little known and misunderstood (It is thought that Mozart also had the condition).

 

The film follows John’s journey from being misunderstood in 1980s Scotland to becoming a passionate advocate for the condition as an adult. It explores how he navigates challenges, stigma, and misunderstanding, and finds his purpose in raising awareness and acceptance.

 

Featuring outstanding performances from Robert Aramayo, Peter Mullan, Shirley Henderson and Maxine Peake, I SWEAR is a frank, funny and touching story about the transformative power of friendship and community.

**Warning: Contains extreme profanity as part of the story of Tourette Syndrome.

Piano looking for a new home

This used Ibach upright piano from before 1900 comes in good working condition and includes a piano stool. With keys in original ebony and ivory, 2 brass pedals, and a vintage dark oak finish, this German-made instrument shows quality craftsmanship. 

It was reconditioned in 1995 and has been regularly tuned and kept in good repair over the last 30 years. One key – top G – has been unable to be repaired but all others work with no sticking or delay. There are some minor scratches on the wooden casing.

The piano stool is also dark oak, with an upholstered hinged lid and storage for sheet music.

Sadly looking for a new home now the piano players in the family have moved away. Free to a good home and we will help with moving it locally.

Parish Council Minutes

Click this link to read the draft minutes of the meeting of Parwich Parish Council held on the 19th of November.

O2 Update

Thanks to Richard T for this update.

O2 suggest there may be intermittent outages today as maintenance work is carried out (and yesterday).

Meanwhile, Derbyshire Dales MP John Whitby  who has taken up the village cause after some 13 weeks of outage at the local mast  has written to the Telecoms Minister for a meeting to discuss Parwich and other issues in his constituency with specific questions about the Government’s plans on mobile signal in rural areas. 

These include:

  • Whether the Department for Science Innovation and Tech would be willing to explore a requirement for mobile network providers to publish publicly an incident response plan for remote and rural areas which should include expected timescales, communication protocols with affected communities, and escalation mechanisms
  • How the Department is working with Ofcom, to ensure that compensation mechanisms and remedial action for vulnerable residents in rural communities are adequate, clear to navigate, and enforced.
