Has anyone lost their blue lidded recycling bin? A bin appeared on the end of my drive at Barn Cottage, Creamery Lane, sometime yesterday I think.
Thank you

Thank you Katy W for passing on this sad news from Ian at Village Games, Derbyshire Dales District Council. It is a real shame, as those who attended were really enjoying it.
Please share this email I received….
“I have spoken with Claire after each class since July and I’m aware we haven’t had great attendances thus far. With that in mind, and barring some divine miracle this Saturday where people turn up in droves for the class, it pains me to say that I think we will have to stop the class after Saturday’s session. As we discussed when planning the session initially, Village Games is not about making profit, however we do at least need to cover costs when running sessions such as this one in order to make the session sustainable. Unfortunately we’re not even coming close to achieving this each month and as I’m sure you can appreciate, we can’t continue to run the session in its current state indefinitely. I’m genuinely saddened to write this email, but I’m acutely aware that sometimes, these things just don’t work for one reason or another”
“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work and support in trying to make the session a success”
So anyone interested in tomorrow’s session or getting numbers up to try to rescue future sessions do speak to Katy or contact Ian Dipaolo tel 0790 944 3293 asap.

The Blog Team would like to thank the Horticultural Society and another donor who wishes to remain anonymous for their kind donations. The Blog has been running since 2007 and until this year has been funded by the Blog Team members.
Parwich.org costs an average of £120 per year to run, with an additional £40 spent last year to provide prizes for competitions. Costs have increased over the years as more storage/memory space has had to be purchased. Other costs include the cost of the domain, the cost of a version of WordPress which we can customise and the cost of keeping the site free of adverts.
Thank you for your support,
Peter, Emma, Fiona, Lucy and Steve

At last night’s Horticultural Society AGM £500 was donated to the following village groups:
Parwich Over 60s
Churchyard Volunteer Group towards the cost of a new shed
Parwich School Eco Committee
Parwich. Org, village blog and website towards running costs.
The success of the Open Gardens event has enabled the society to help local groups as a thank you to the village for the time, tolerance and assistance given during Open Gardens. Money raised at this event is also used to subsidise Horticultural Society trips and to help fund the Annual Horticultural Show in September.
Open Gardens next year will take place on Sunday 26 June.

BBC 1 Freeview – is anyone else having problems with the signal on this channel from the Parwich transmitter (East Midlands, channel 24)?
Martin C
I also have been having intermittent reception problems involving at times loss of signal with all the BBC channels this evening on Freeview via the Parwich Transmitter, and also seem to have lost all the new Freeview channels that arrived at the end of August. I ended up going on line to see the programme I wanted.
Peter T
To find out about how to deal with TV reception problems go to UK Broadcast Transmission and to report specific problems with BBC reception either phone 03700 100123 or go to the BBC website. The BBC website is showing that there were problems with the Parwich transmitter over the last few days and that ‘reduced quality’ is currently reported this evening.
