Parwich Ladies Football Team, 1960

The Derby Telegraph recently published this photo of the Parwich Ladies Football team in 1960 (click to enlarge).

On the back row, from left: Christine Weston, Shirley Gibbs, Jean Calladine, Brenda Brownlee, Mary Edge, Hazel Calladine, Veronica Twigge.

On the front row: Maud Evans, Evelyn Chadwick, Carol Allen, Phyllis Allsop.

The “Little Sealed Packages” blog has also written about this photo. The blogger’s parents grew up in Parwich, and she has some further questions to ask about the photo. (Coincidentally, the Webster family are also mentioned, who have also been the subject of a recent query.)

Perhaps one of our readers would be able to reply to her?

Finally, from our own blog archives, we also have a poster advertising a ladies’ football match in 1938. Ladies’ football must have been a long-standing tradition in the village; could the tradition ever be revived?

Bin Day reminders for this week

 

So it is Friday 6th for the Green Bin and Saturday 7th for the Black Bin, next week it is back to normal with Green bin fortnightly on Thursdays and Black bin on Fridays.

A ‘Thank You’

We have received this note of thanks from Heather H:

I would like to thank everyone who bought biscuits, jewellery and bread over the Christmas period, helping me to fundraise for Childreach International. In particular, my 24hr fundraise made £100. To get the London Underground collection permit I needed to raise the most in my group. Well, I raised the 2nd highest amount putting me in a good position if there are any spare permits available. Thanks for helping me!
This is probably a good opportunity for me to explain the reason for all this fundraising. I’m studying at Nottingham University, and have signed up for an expedition to climb Mount Kilimanjaro this July. It involves raising £2,450 for the charity Childreach International before I even begin to climb the mountain itself! This charity helps children in countries like Tanzania, India, Bangladesh and Nepal. It operates in 3 main areas: health, education and human rights. It works with local communities  to help set up projects. For more information go to www.childreach.org.uk.
I have a lot of fundraising ideas which some of you have already supported (thanks again!). In addition anyone wishing to sponsor me should go to my BT Donate page (https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/heatherhughes1) where you can also follow my progress. I am really excited at the prospect of the double challenge of fundraising and the climb itself!

Second hand books offered

Debbie W writes:

I don’t know if anyone is having a fund raiser anytime soon which will include a second hand book stall?

If so, I’ve had a bit of a clear out and anyone is welcome to quite a few books I’ve cleared out (a mix of modern and classics), otherwise I’ll pop them down to a charity shop.

Thanks,
Debbie W, phone 568

Does anyone know what is happening at the Legion on New Year’s Eve? Is it Chris Hoolie as reported on the Blog or a Twenties night as advertised on the notice board?

January’s Lunch – Everyone Welcome

January’s Film Night

Friday 13th January – 7.45pm

Taken from the book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, this is the final adventure in the Harry Potter film series. In the much-anticipated epic finale, the battle between the good and evil forces of the wizarding world escalates into an all-out war. The stakes have never been higher and no one is safe. But it is Harry Potter who may be called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice as he draws closer to the climactic showdown with Lord Voldemort. It all ends here.

“Sensational, satisfying, surreal … an explosive final chapter puts the magic back into the Harry Potter franchise” The Guardian. Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Maggie Smith, Ralph Fiennes, Michael Gambon, Helen Bonham-Carter, etc, etc! This film broke all box-office records.

Merry Christmas to you all

I took this photo at 8.30 this morning, a glorious sight to wake up to on Christmas morning; the sunlight bouncing off the trees on Parwich hill.

Christmas Eve’s Crib Service

Andy explained that the Bible tells us that Jesus came into this world as a light into the darkness.

The questions is… What type of light?

In these photos, Andy is attempting to answer this question using a home made flame thrower!

Graham Johnson has received an email from Paul Mannion, who was the 2010 winner of the Parwich Hill Race. Paul says:

I was just wondering if you could help me with something, or at least point me in the right direction?

I was at a race over at the Roaches today and was talking to a guy called Matt Jones from Ripley who I know from races, and we were catching up etc.

He won The Parwich Hill Race this year (2011) and said he didn’t get the trophy, as it had gone missing again !!

Now, I gave back the trophy this year, so was shocked to hear it went missing in the first place…

It would be great if we could reunite him with the missing trophy.

Could you put me in touch with the relevant people or ask around I would be very grateful.

If you have any information, please contact Graham directly (344), or mail the blog team at parwich.hotmail.co.uk.

Rob Francis writes:

You seek them here, you seek them there. For 25 years, they have mysteriously appeared then disappeared at Christmas.

This is a unique Parwich tradition inherited from Biggin-by-Hartington through Ambrose Wilton and Jack Cundy, who as boys traipsed along the railway, returning via The Newhaven Inn – back in 1936.

Click here to view photographs from the last 25 years (or click here for a full-screen slideshow).

This includes the guizers’ famous meeting with Paris Hilton (look at the smile on her face) and the first photograph that appeared in The Ashbourne Telegraph in 1985.

The guizers in all their shape-shifting forms wish you a Happy Christmas.

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.
