Below, the plough lines on the Parwich open field, the Wings, contrast the medieval elongated ‘s’ shaped ridge and furrow to the left with the dead straight ‘modern’ ridge and furrow created by steam ploughing.

Bad news unfortunately on both the upcoming Dance classes:
Dear all
Sadly I have just been informed that the dance classes we had previously advertised will not be going ahead as planned due to unforeseen circumstances.
I have contacted Community Sports to ask if there can be a replacement but probably won’t hear anything back until late next week.
I’ll keep you informed.
Thanks Katy

The weekend of 24/25th January sees the RSPB’s Big Garden Bird Watch; those wishing to take part can find out more and register by clicking here.
The RSPB say:
Bird populations are a great indicator of the health of the countryside. That’s why it’s so important to take part in surveys like Big Garden Birdwatch to keep an eye on the ups and downs of the wildlife where we live.
All you need to do is spend an hour over the weekend of 24-25 January counting the birds in your garden. It’s that simple!
However, we wondered if there was any interest in doing a Big Ballidon/Alsop/Parwich/Pikehall Bird Watch the same weekend? Let us know your thoughts by commenting on this post or emailing parwich@hotmail.co.uk .
There are a number of possibilities, including:

Responses are still coming in, but as of midnight the 29th of December some 78% of respondents supported the need for a public meeting to discuss options for the future of the Parish Council owned land off Pump Hill, making up part of The Square. You can still add your response:

If you haven’t given me your number but would like to appear in the Parwich Phone Book, please ring me on 191 or email Fiona@nethergreenfarm.plus. com. I am hoping to have it printed early in the new year.

Snow update – Derbyshire Dales District Council
Continuing poor weather conditions mean that Derbyshire Dales District Council’s scheduled stall market today (Monday) in Bakewell is cancelled. However, the usual Monday livestock market at the District Council’s Agricultural Business Centre in Bakewell goes ahead as planned.
The District Council’s four leisure centres in Ashbourne, Bakewell, Matlock and Wirksworth beat the weather conditions by opening as scheduled across the weekend, but the Boxing Day snowfall forced the suspension of Saturday’s scheduled waste and recycling collections in and around Ashbourne, Darley Dale and Baslow.
Bin teams were out first thing today (Monday) playing catch-up in those areas – though some side roads and streets may still be inaccessible.
The big message to Derbyshire Dales residents for this week is please leave out/put out your waste and recycling for collection – and the bin teams will get to you as soon possible. Residents should work to this week’s scheduled collection timetable, which can be found online at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/waste via a postcode search.
Waste can be taken to household recycling centres at Ashbourne, Darley Dale and Waterswallows, Buxton.
* Derbyshire County Council are responsible for gritting roads – and snow updates and gritting information can be found on the homepage of their website at http://www.derbyshire.gov.uk
Note: Our bins (blue and green bins and food caddies) are, weather permitting, due for emptying on Wednesday as normal.

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?

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.
