SOS Please could someone lend us a small fire guard from today (Saturday) until Monday lunchtime? Phone no 390 132.
Many thanks,
Sue C, Rosemary Cottage
UPDATE: Thanks for all the helpful offers to lend us a fire guard. Our son solved the problem with an imaginative use of a clothes airer! We will know where to call if the need arises in future.

Does anyone know whether the road from Ashbourne to Parwich is clear? Marlous and Ferdi, our (Dutch) guests from Tom’s Barn, have had to camp at the Travel Lodge in Ashbourne overnight and need advice. They certainly won’t get up the hill to Orchard Farm but will they get to Parwich okay? I don’t think they or their car are used to icy roads…be very grateful if anyone has any up to date info. Thank you!

Parwich Parish Council have spent considerable effort exploring some possible uses of the land on the west side of Pump Hill that makes up part of the Square (click here to see extracts relevant Council minutes). However their proposed sale of this land has prompted local controversy (click here for some of the responses here at parwich.org).
The sale of this piece of community owned land would be an irreversible step. Should there be a public meeting and consultation prior to a decision being made on this issue or should the Parish Council be left to make the decision on our behalf?

Thanks to Helen P for letting us know ( at 18.45 )that the roads are treacherous outside the village. They have just arrived home from Froggatt but wouldn’t advise anyone to travel heading north .

Badminton at Parwich Memorial Hall
Worried about eating too much and not getting enough exercise over the next two weeks? Well, while regular bookings of the Hall break for Christmas, there may be the possibility of booking badminton outside the normal hours. If you are interested contact Cheryl on 390617 or email parwichMH@gmail.com.

It’s looking promising for clear(ish) skies on Christmas Eve for a bit of Santa spotting but if not, there’s a very good chance of seeing him going back home at 4.31pm on Christmas Day in the south west.
Cheryl
Also the good folk of the White Peak might catch a glimpse of him today as he pays Parwich British Legion a flying visit between 1 and 2.30pm.

Our Weatherman in the Village says:
Having been touched by Anthony C’s kind comments following the last weather report posted before my weather station started playing games, I thought a Christmas forecast might be in order to try to anticipate the conditions for the big day. So, will it be or won’t it be …….. a white Christmas?
Sadly, the only white likely on Christmas day is frost this year, with snow being pretty unlikely as I write this. Monday and Tuesday look like being mild, windy and damp, but the temperatures look set to drop as we move through Christmas Eve with the possibility of a frosty start on Thursday morning followed by a similar day on Friday.
So it’s a Happy Christmas to one and all from The Weatherman in the Village and here’s to a 2015 punctuated by great weather- my New Year resolution this year will be to fix the weather station!

Hi, I remember there was a survey of interest in the Vodaphone Rural Open Sure Signal. Was there enough interest to follow it through, and who is doing so? Is it something the Parish Council is involved in?
How do,we find out more? We are hoping to “go smart” after Christmas, and are wondering which network will be best.
Many thanks, David C
added 9pm same day:Our poll here at parwich.org indicated support for this Vodafone scheme. Although we had passed the deadline, Vodafone indicated they would still consider our participation in this scheme, and a possible location for the equipment was identified. However no local champion was identified at that point. This information was passed to the Parish Council (unfortunately only a short time before their November meeting); so far we have not had any response.

To the Parwich Community,
Our Head teacher, Mrs. Caroline Rodgers, is leaving us at the end of this week for pastures new. We are holding a special assembly to celebrate her time at Parwich Primary School and would like to invite anybody that would like to join us.
The assembly will be held in school on Friday 19th December at 1.30pm and festive refreshments will be available afterwards.
Everyone Welcome!
We look forward to seeing you there.
(SSSSSShhhhhh! Mrs. Rodgers doesn’t know)

Below are a few photos from a lovely night singing carols on the Village Green with Ashbourne Town Band. Even a bit of rain couldn’t dampen the festive spirit, all helped by the mulled wine and mince pies.
Thanks to John F-S for the photos
