If you’re anywhere in the region of Ashbourne, why not come to Sit and Sew with Mandy and me every second and fourth Friday of the month – 10am til midday. Bring along hand sewing and Mandy will be bringing Xmas project kits too if you’re interested. We’ll sit, sew, chat, drink coffee, eat cake and generally put the world to rights. Workshops coming too, on Mondays from January, so stay tuned. Let us know if you’re coming, and email Mandy or me (lilysquilts@gmail.com) if you need more information!

Parwich First Responders are grateful to 4 new volunteers who will be training at the end of January to join us. As it always takes time to find dates that people can manage we would be interested to hear now from anyone who thinks that they might also be able to join our group.
We are a small but committed group who volunteer regularly to provide emergency First Aid cover for Parwich and the surrounding area. Volunteers do whatever shifts they can fit in with their usual schedules. No previous experience is required as East Midlands Ambulance Service provide the initial extensive training. Thereafter we meet as a group every 2 months to keep our skills fresh. It goes without saying that our ability to provide emergency cover around the clock depends totally on the willingness of people to train and give a few hours of their time each week.
If you think you might be able to help please call Sue (334) or Martin (529).

Hello Possums,
Well, if the weather on November the fifth 1605 was anything like we have at present, I think old Guido Fawkes and his co conspirators may have
abandoned their attempt to blow Parliament to kingdom come, and retired to the nearest ale house.
A good-hearted couple, who rescued two battery hens, Margo and Valerie, have commissioned a bespoke tailor in Bournemouth to supply them with pulletovers to stave off the Winter chills. The lady
told us that ‘chilli chicken‘ was definitely off the menu.

Our weatherman says:
Another Autumnal week in prospect. Tomorrow (Monday) looks like the pick of the days ahead right now, with clear skies in prospect. Blustery showers look like returning for much of the rest of the week.

Thank you Helen for forwarding this update. There is usually a good sized Parwich contingent going to the Dovedale Dash, so many will be sad to hear the event is cancelled this year:

We regret that we have had to cancel the Dash this year. The Pastures where we normally park 400-500 cars is waterlogged and not getting any better. The forecast for the weekend is for further rain and strong winds. Our regrets for the cancellation. We put off making a decision until the last moment in the hope of an improvement in the weather.
The next Dash is November 2nd 2014.

We have a king size bed (frame only, no mattress) going spare from next week. It is pine and could do with either painting or revarnishing in a few places.Free to anyone who wants to collect. If you need the bed but are unable to collect it, give me a call and I’m sure we can work something out.Debbie Webster390568

Parwich Legion would like to say thank you to everyone who attended, supported and contributed to yesterday’s harvest festival. Thank you also to Andy Larkin for taking the service and to Martin Compton for providing the music.
There was plently of produce to auction and people bid very generously. As a result we managed to raise £240 for the Independent Welfare Fund, which helps people in the village.
Thank you all once more…..!

Hello Possums,
Nuneaton: A drinker was horrified, when he claimed to have discovered around fifty dead flies at the bottom of his bottle of Foster’s lager, purchased from his local Azda store. A spokesperson for the store told us, as a precautionary measure, the supplier will only be using blue bottles in future production.
Cookhill, Redditch: Opportunist thieves have stolen 6,400 tins of baked beans from a Skania lorry parked up overnight whilst the driver slept. Police suspect there
may be a connection to an earlier incident where a thousand thick sliced loaves were taken from a Kemp’s bakery delivery van.

We have just had a chap pop round as he lost his dog on the Tissington trail today (Sunday at around 11am). The description that he gave us of the dog is- jack Russell bitch, answering to the name of Meg. She is white with a patch (I think he said a brown one over her left eye). She has no collar (nor microchip). The man said she is friendly, but a little nervous of men.
If anyone has seen her please contact parwich.org for the owner’s contact details

Our weatherman says:
With 2.74 inches of rain through the week, it has been very soggy! The impending deep low coming in from the south west looks at the moment to be tracking a bit further south than previously predicted, which hopefully means we might be spared the worst of the wind tonight and tomorrow morning (although it does look like we’ll get very wet again). Deep Atlantic depressions are certainly not unusual at this time of year, but this one looks a little more extreme. The south of the country will be very stormy tonight. The rest of the week looks like being wet, windy and still mild.

On behalf of the Parish Council, I would like to thank Bertie, Dan and Josh, who with Nia and Terry P have done an amazing job clearing streams and keeping waterways running, throughout the village.
It is greatly appreciated when volunteers help with the work of the Parish Council.

Calling all dog walkers, does anyone know of a safe area or field where we can let our spaniel puppy off the lead, attempting to practice his recall, (fingers crossed).
Thanks
Dawn & Steve
