As the days have become shorter and the weather more inclement, Parwich musicians have busied themselves writing and recording music. We have permission to publish work from both The A52s and Hazel B.
Hazel B
Hazel Beddows has been writing songs since she was 13. She is currently 15 and has been a regular at local open mic sessions. The highlight of 2011 was playing on the open mic stage at the Y Not Festival…including a request to do an encore. Hazel has just completed a recording session at Meadow Farm Recording Studio – lyrics, music, voice and guitar are all by Hazel B.
Parwich.org are proud to present two of her songs. Remember where you heard them first!

The A52s
The A52s are the hardest working acoustic folk-rock band in Parwich……when they’re not discussing music trivia in the Sycamore over a pint of Double Hop whilst munching crispinoes. Check them out at www.thea52s.co.uk.
Members of The A52s playing on these recordings are: Lewis ‘Squeezebox’ Noble, Chris ‘Mando Man’ Radlett, Mike ‘Champagne’ Hughes, Chad ‘Qwibble’ Bean, Jim ‘Jet Pack’ Croft & Rob ’10 Piece’ Campbell. The sound was engineered by Stan ‘Boggie’ Dadley-Webb.

An unsettled week coming, but turning warmer possible temperatures in double figures by weekend. It looks as though a “White Christmas” is out of the question.

Return to the magic and wonder of C.S. Lewis’ beloved world The Chronicles of Narnia — via the fantastic Narnian ship, the Dawn Treader. Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their cousin Eustace, their royal friend King Caspian and a warrior mouse named Reepicheep, find themselves swallowed into a painting and onto the Dawn Treader. Their mission — on which rests the fate of Narnia itself — takes the courageous voyagers to mysterious islands and a river that turns to gold, to fateful confrontations with magical creatures and sinister enemies and to a reunion with their friend and protector, the “Great Lion” Aslan.

To help us through these difficult economic times, we have been wondering if we might be able to use the collective buying power of PARWICH.ORG to negotiate discounts on a range of products.
Starting the ball rolling in what we hope is a suitably festive fashion, we have negotiated a 20% discount for a special Christmas mixed case of fine wines from Averys Wine Merchants.
This case, which usually sells at £125, has been discounted to £99.50. Designed as a sampler of the best value wines currently in the Averys range, it also contains some extra special bottles for Christmas.
Please click here for detailed tasting notes of all twelve wines in the mixed case, in printable PDF format.
To take advantage of this offer, simply contact James Cole at Averys, and quote “Parwich”.
James can be contacted by phone on direct line (01275 812 210) or by email at JamesCole@averys.com.
Please click here to read what James has said about this offer.
For guaranteed delivery before Christmas, please place your orders by this Friday (December 16th). Note that you will still be able to place orders after this date, at the discounted rate.
Finally – if any of our readers know of other organisations who might be willing to offer discounts via PARWICH.ORG, please let us know!

With Christmas fast approaching, we have a busy week to look forward to. Festive events are well to the forefront, with highlights including three performances of The Magical Christmas Box at the school (on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday), followed by the ever-popular Carols on the Green on Thursday, where we shall be joined by the Ashbourne Band. Minced pies and mulled wine will also be available.
Our Christmas film, The Chronicles of Narnia, will be screened on Friday, and there will be more opportunities for carol singing at the school’s Christmas service on Thursday, and at next Sunday’s two carol services in Parwich and Alsop.
Over at the Legion, Santa Claus will be making his appearance next Sunday. (Warning: He knows if you’ve been bad or good. So be good, for goodness sake!) Meanwhile, The Sycamore have a Christmas darts knockout tournament this afternoon, and a pub quiz next Saturday from 5pm, hosted by the holidaymakers of Uppermoor Farm.

Head teacher Caroline Rodgers writes:
I need to remind some parents and inform our new parents what to do in the event of snow!
The decision to close school is never taken lightly; several factors dictate such measures, the health and safety of our children and staff is a priority, given the remote setting of the village. The decision is made through discussion with our Chair of Governors.
If it snows overnight, please tune into BBC Radio Derby (104.5 FM), check their website or tune into Ashbourne Radio (96.7 FM) to hear if school is closed.
If you hear nothing, assume school is open and we will be expecting your child.
It is more difficult when it starts snowing during the day. Usually some of our parents, who live out of the village or high up, give us some warning that things are getting bad. Once a decision is made to send children home, we will contact you by phone, then you or a representative must come and collect the children.
Please make sure that your details held here at school are up to date. In these days of voicemail and answer phones, it has become more difficult for us to contact parents quickly. Please make sure, you tell us how we can get hold of you quickly.
