I have signed up to the Oil Club http://www.oil-club.co.uk/ to obtain the best price for heating oil. Registration is free, and there is a club based in Bradbourne. The next order needs to be placed by 16th March and the current price is 52.25p, which is lower than prices I obtained from local suppliers. If we can have enough people from Parwich to sign up, then we can have our own Parwich based oil club.

Following on from last week’s Memory Lane the Ashbourne News Telegraph again features historic photographs of Parwich. The photographs featured this week include one looking over the village to Lenscliffe – Parwich Hall can be seen poking through the trees, a view of Parwich school and the final photo is of a snowy scene.
You can read the full article on the Ashbourne News Telegraph website.
If you have any good memories or photographs you would like to share please let us know.

Hello Possums.
The ‘happy slapper” craze has reared it’s ugly head yet again, as an Asda fish counter sales girl was assaulted by a woman, who picked up a large bream from the display, and walloped the girl with it. She then ran off laughing with an accomplice, who is believed to have filmed the incident on a mobile phone. The police refused to attend such a trivial incident, saying that they had bigger fish to fry.
Apparently even the most hardened criminals have an Achilles heel, which in one case comes in the shape of a budgerigar. In scenes reminiscent of ‘The Bird Man Of Alcatraz, lifer Big Billy (The Butcher) Thorpe has been allowed to have a pet budgie in his cell, which perches on his huge finger tweeting merrily away. Weedkiller’s Raving Reporter visited the gentle giant (when it comes to budgies that is) in his cell at Woodworm Scrubs. “Does
your budgie talk Bill?” asked our reporter. ”Wot” boomed Billy ”If you fink any bird of mine would be a coppers nark you got anovver fink comin. Now clear off before I rip your ead off“.

The Ashbourne News Telegraph featured a great historic piece on Parwich. The feature includes a collection of photos taken by Vernon Webster, an Ashbourne News Telegraph reader from Chellaston whose wife – formerly Brenda Brownlee – used to live in Parwich. The article describes Parwich as having “one of the strongest feelings of community spirit of any location in the Derbyshire Dales” – three cheers to that!
