Time to start thinking about the photography section of the Horticultural Show (which will be on 4 September this year). The subjects for this year are:
- All in a Row
- Purple
- A Single Flower in Focus
Photographs to be no bigger than A4 in size and to have been taken within 20 miles of Parwich. Two entries allowed per subject.
Good Luck!

We have received this request for information about Steeples bus service:
I am currently writing a history of Derbyshire’s independent bus operators in the days before deregulation and one of the 20+ operators which will be covered is Steeples of Parwich. I’m sure that many of your readers will remember this firm which ceased to trade in November 1967.I already have information on the “technical” side (such as the vehicles used and the licences held) but have been able to discover remarkably little about Mr RH Steeples himself. I wonder if I might appeal to your readers for some biographical information about the proprietor and his immediate family? Anecdotes and personal reminiscences about the bus services would also be welcome, although I am unable to use longer stories as I have more than 20 operators to fit into my allocated 160 pages!Those who provide assistance will receive a free copy of the book, which will have around 200 illustrations, 35 of them in colour, and will also include other companies once familiar in Ashbourne such as Allen of Roston, Carter of Hales Green, and Webster of Hognaston. The book is due to be published by Ventuire of Glossop later this year and will be priced at around £19.I hope that your readers can help me to do justice to the memory of this small but vital bus company – please feel free to pass my email address on to anyone who might be interested in helping.Best Wishes,Neville Mercerneville.mercer@googlemail.com

I noticed a few weeks ago the first pair of curlews arriving on Port Meadow, I was very pleased to see this weekend despite their estimated decline in the UK due to various reasons, a herd of at least 15 all together, they were still there today.
Where are the Parwich paparazzi with their twitching fingers I ask?Is spring around the corner, then again the last time I saw such numbers it was the very late snow 19-21st March ??David S

Parwich School children are featured today on the Ashbourne News Telgraph Website in relation to their work as part of the Fair Trade Fortnight:
Pupils from Parwich Primary School show their support for Fairtrade Fortnight
Pupils from Parwich Primary School visited Central England Co-operative’s Ashbourne store to complete an ethical challenge for Fairtrade Fortnight, which runs until March 13.
… … …
The children searched for Fairtrade products throughout the store and completed a quiz which helped them to learn about where their food and household products come from, how products can be produced ethically and the wide range of Fairtrade products available. … … … …

This week’s goodies, victims of the great decluttering.
1. A large Liebherr fridge freezer. Not new but works like a charm. The veg box is cracked but could be replaced (bought from Liebherr) if/when deemed necessary.
£25, without contents! Buyer collects from Parwich, in about a fortnight’s time. SOLD2. We also have a large Bosch freezer. It too is not new but has given no trouble at all. £25, without contents! Buyer collects from Parwich, in about a fortnight’s time.NB This may already be sold! Please enquire. SOLD3. About 6 dozen cotton chair covers. Not glamorous but very effective if you want to pretty up rusty or ill-matched chairs for an event. NB They don’t fit the current Mem Hall chairs.Free to a good home. Available now.
Do ring 076 if you are interested. Viewings possible at any time, by arrangement.
John and Marion F-S
