All of us here at Parwich.org would like to extend our sympathies to Evie, Alice, Lucy and Paul. Paul B, an active participant in our community, was also a very active supporter and contributor to the Parwich Blog from the start. His Weedkiller Weekly column and cartoons at times pushed the boundaries (click here to see all the Weedkiller posts), but always had a band of loyal readers. Perhaps we should read a few so we can attend his funeral with a smile on our faces:
Thursday 26th November 1pm at St Peter’s Church in Parwich there will be a Service of Remembrance (following a private family service at the crematorium). ‘Funeral attire is strictly optional’ and the Service will be followed by refreshments at the Legion and the Memorial Hall.

A timely reminder from Action Fraud at a time of the year when many people are shopping online:
Protect yourself:
- Check the authenticity of the websites before making any purchases. Conduct a ‘whois’ search on the website which will identify when the website has been created, be wary of newly formed domains. You can conduct this search using the following website – https://who.is/.
- Carry out online research in relation to the website, company name and the business address provided to identify any poor feedback or possible irregularities.
- Check the Trusted Shops Facebook page where warnings about websites using their Trustmark are published. If you are in doubt about the legitimacy of a Trustmark then you can contact Trusted Shops on 0203 364 5906 or by email service@trustedshops.co.uk. They will confirm whether they have certified that website.
- Payments made via bank transfer are not protected should you not received the item. Therefore always try to make the payment via PayPal or a credit card where you have some payment cover should you not receive your product.
- If the item advertised seems too good to be true, then it probably is.
If you believe that you have been a victim of fraud you can report it online http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report_fraud or by telephone 0300 123 2040.

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
