NEW PERSPECTIVES, an East Midlands based national touring theatre company, have chosen Parwich to put on a production of He Wore a Red Hat. It is described as a Festive Noir Comedy and this is the first time New Perspectives have staged a production in the Peak District. It will also be the first time a play has been staged in the new memorial hall.
Supported by the Arts Council, the company specialises in creating dynamic performances for rural audiences, making ambitious and original theatre. Productions are toured nationally and overseas.
Put Sunday 13 December 2015 at 7.30pm in your diaries.
The Whodunit comedy is suitable for ages 12 to 112.
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

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.

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.

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.
Having looked at the holiday lets listed on the blog, please can I post the following:

Just to make people aware, a man came up my drive and was looking about. When I asked if I could help he said he was looking for a holiday cottage but he didn’t know the name of the cottage or any information about where it was. I have reported the incident to the police. The man is about 5′ 6″ tall, mid 40s and driving a 2 door silver Focus ( I think).
