Everyone welcome – if you are interested in playing tell Carl at the legion or email richiemaddog@googlemail.com. The legion opens at 11.30am.

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.

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

Can anyone recommend a good reliable local professional removal firm, used to narrow lanes and local conditions? We are hoping to move soon after New Year – about 400 yards to another Parwich address… so no long distance involved but plenty of manoeuvring delicate and or heavy stuff round awkward corners and up and down stairs!We have heard one or two horror stories so are anxious to avoid another!Thank you. Please leave a message on the blog, or ring us on 519

This morning our computer was blocked from the internet by a site accusing us of using the internet inappropriately and asking for money before the computer can be unblocked. Be aware of this scam circulating at present.

Do you have a great idea for helping to reduce waste in your community or business?
If so, Derbyshire County Council want to hear from you.
We want to help local groups and businesses bid for a share of £800,000 from Government to help set up innovative projects to prevent materials going to waste.
Grants of up to £25,000 could be made available through the Waste Prevention Fund for projects which help reduce wastes such as food, textiles, paper and board, plastics, electronic and electrical equipment, furniture, building and demolition waste and healthcare and chemical waste.
To qualify for funding, projects will need to be new and not yet tried elsewhere. This could involve developing new services, or new products to deliver existing services in a different way.
We would decide which bids to take forward and would work in partnership with the relevant groups or businesses to bid for funding and − if successful − help to deliver the projects.
Councillor Dean Collins, Cabinet Member for Highways, Transport and Infrastructure, said:
“Derbyshire is a hive of business innovation and we want to focus some of that original thinking to look for new ways of helping residents and businesses to reduce waste.
“We are facing difficult financial times and need to cut our budget by £157 million by 2018. Sending waste to landfill costs the us £19 million a year which could be better spent on other services.
“Cash is available for projects which can help reduce waste, working in partnership with us. So if you’ve got an idea, call us on 01629 539776 or 01629 539787, email wastemanagement@derbyshire.gov.uk or find out more at derbyshire.gov.uk/dwpf.”
Proposals would need to be agreed with us by 16 January 2015 and bids submitted to Government by 6 February 2015. Grants need to be spent by 31 December 2015.
