The recent poll here at parwich.org indicates some 75% are in favour of the principle of 20mph speed limits in residential areas, with the following thinking it would be a good idea for our local villages:
- Alsop en le Dale 76%
- Ballidon 71%
- Parwich 74%
- Pikehall 70%
These are the results so far (recorded at 4pm Sunday 27th Sept).
We encourage people to respond directly to the Council (click here to see their consultation on line), but there is still time to also add your thoughts to the following polls or comment below. Our poll results up to midday Wednesday 30th September will be sent to the County Council that afternoon.
Do you think 20mph speed limits are a good idea in some residential areas?

It is another of those events with a funny name tonight, there will be a ‘Blood Moon’ and a ‘Super Moon’.
A ‘Blood Moon‘ is a total lunar eclipse, that is when the Earth blocks the sun’s light from the moon. This results in a reduction in light reaching the moon, making it go dim, but also the light that does reach the moon is filtered by the Earth’s atmosphere making it look red. The BBC website (click here for more information) says:
The eclipse will start at 01:11 BST, when the Moon enters the lightest part of the Earth’s shadow, known as the penumbra, and adopts a yellowish colour. At 03:11 BST, the Moon completely enters the umbra – the inner dark corpus of our planet’s shadow.
The point of greatest eclipse occurs at 03:47 BST, when the Moon is closest to the centre of the umbra. The sky show is over by 05:22 in the morning on Monday.
This particular lunar eclipse, the second this year, also coincides with a full moon, when the Moon’s orbit brings it closest to the Earth, making it larger in the sky, i.e. a ‘Super Moon‘.

Derbyshire County Council’s consultation on the idea of 20mph speed limits in some (as yet unspecified) residential areas in the County ends next Wednesday (30th September). Click here if you want to find out more about the consultation or participate on line.
The Council plan to enter into further consultation with any neighbourhoods if they consider introducing specific schemes. However this is something that has been raised a number of times in the past both with Parwich Parish Council and here at Parwich.org, so what do you think?
We encourage you to respond directly to DCC’s consultation, but we will also forward any comments added to this post and responses to the polls below to the Council next Wednesday.
Do you think 20mph speed limits are a good idea in some residential areas?
Do you think a 20mph speed limit would be a good idea in our local villages?

As you may have noticed we occasionally change the top photo banner on Parwich.org. We like them to represent the current seasons – and this is where you can help. We are looking for any keen photographers to send us some images of Parwich (or surrounding area). The image size for the banner is 786 x 190 pix (so your image needs to be long and thin but don’t worry we can resize it to the correct size). All of the best ones will then be used as the new banner image. Send your photos or any questions to parwich@hotmail.co.uk

Including our Diary in the Church magazine is important as it helps you reach some of those who are not on-line.

UPDATE: – due to a couple of additional donations, the amount has increased to £402.50.
The Legion would like to say many, many thanks to everyone who was involved with, and who supported, yesterday’s harvest festival.
Lots of people generously gave up their time, donated produce and spent their money!!! As a result we managed to raise £390.50 for the Welfare Fund!

I would just like to say one or two thank yous to some of the few who gave of their time to sort out the piece of ground in the Church yard . These people who worked so hard to shift 20 tons of limestone rock that were hidden in all that piece of overgrown land. Who dug out by hand yards and yards of weed root, who dug and raked the land until it was fit for re-seeding. Stuart C. / Mick E /Howard M and Ian B . Mick was kind enough to bring his digger down on site, Phil Kirkham was also kind enough to make available his dumper and not forgetting Patti and Brian who loaned us their chain- harrow. Well done team on a cracking achievement.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
So that’s it for another year. Don’t want to keep banging on but we really, really, really do need some new Club members next year. I can recall Ron Birch some years ago when I asked him when and where him and Ada were going on holiday he said it would have to wait until the end of the bowls season. This year now the final game has been played there is a mass exodus of Bowls Club Members going away on holiday! The problem is that if you play bowls for Parwich you cannot go on holiday or be ill and if you die you have to bring a certificate along to the Green to prove it.
Our final position for the Tuesday League was fourth. We were only 17 points from being second and gaining promotion to the higher division.
As you know the Thursday League was a bit beyond us this year, having been promoted, but what a final match we had. We won one of the three doubles, with our Captain John H putting together married couples in the games. Audrey and Harry B winning handsomely 21 – 9, Clara and Dennis E coming a close second in their game, and Liz and John H coming an even closer second. The scores meant that we were behind 51 – 43. You do have to watch some of our players to realise HOW GOOD THEY ARE. Pat B won 15 – 2, Edith won 15 -5, and Dawn won 15 – 6. The final singles score was Parwich 88 (out of 90), Matlock Park 55. This gave us a fabulous final result 131 – 106. Next year we will be in the lower division, but don’t bet on us not gaining promotion again.
Another year gone so I will set you fellas and ladies a challenge, come and see if you can get to double figures next year against some of the best players in the Matlock and District Leagues, You need to see how good some of our players are. If we are spared we will speak electronically to you next year.
By the way there are no parachute payments on relegation only hang gliding lessons!
John B.
