Thank you Carl and Derbyshire Fire & Rescue for this information:
Click on image above for more information.
Graham Johnson has sent in this urgent request:
Over the past five years the team involved in organising the Parwich Panoramic Five fell race on the first Tuesday in August have run 5 successful races and raised over £1,500 for the Memorial Hall, which was the original reason for instigating the event. It’s been a great evening which has been well supported by the running community and by the village.
The success of the race could not have been possible without our fantastic team – all of whom have critical tasks which they discharge with skill, diligence and without fuss.
It has been a privilege for me to work with such a great group of public spirited people, but after careful thought and an increasingly busy day job, I intend to bow out of my role in this now.
I am happy to support anyone in the process of organising the race, which starts now for 2014, but I may not be available on the race night, and will only be able to offer support and guidance if anyone wants to take it on.
Please let me know quickly if you know anyone who wants to fill my slot because of the need to complete the FRA permit application before 31st October.
Thanks.
Graham Johnson.

Hello Possums,
Well just one more fence to clear, ‘the Halloween Handicap Hurdle’, then it’s into the home strait for jingle tills, that magical time of the year for overspending, over indulgence and over familiarity. However, if you are after something special for your loved one, look no further. For a mere £55.00 per head there is on offer a festive treat at Highgrove House, courtesy of Prince Charles. Up to a hundred paying guests will be treated to organic mulled wine on arrival, followed by a two course dinner, with organic crackers to pull, an opportunity to catch Camilla under the mistletoe, coffee and mince pies, then a rousing session of traditional carols and, to round off the evening, charades and Twister.

Our Weatherman in the Village says:
2013 is continuing its theme of great weather. I write this, looking out on a glorious autumn Sunday morning with all the reds and gold appropriate for the time of year. The coming week looks quite settled with little or no rain on the horizon. Temperatures look like they will fall during the week.

Proposed planning reforms threaten national park, says Authority
The Peak District National Park Authority is appealing for exemption from Government proposals to allow farm buildings to be converted to housing, schools or nurseries without planning permission.
The Government is consulting planning authorities across England on its proposals to allow the conversion or demolition of farm buildings to create up to three houses or a state school or nursery without planning permission. It follows recent changes which already allow farm buildings to be converted into shops or offices, and for offices to be turned into homes, without planning permission. Continue Reading »

Mick Edge sent in the following request for a volunteer or volunteers to temporarily take over his voluntary mowing in St. Peter’s Churchyard:
To whom it may concern,
Stuart Chambers talked to me regarding asking for help for a season to mow my section of the Churchyard, because of my other commitments. Would the people please come forward, who are saying I spend too much time talking, when I should be mowing, to do their bit. If it was a paid position the situation would be different. I am looking forward to you all volunteering.
Mick Edge
Stuart asked us to give a very big thanks to Mick for all the work he has done in the Churchyard to date and to say that “he will be much missed” over the next season (not least because “he has the worst part of the church yard“). The Churchyard is looking really great and all the team, that work so hard keeping it so, do a fantastic job. If you are able to help, please speak to Mick or Stuart.
