Tonight at 2am the clocks will change, so remember to move your alarm clock back one hour. The advantage is that you can have an extra hour in bed but the downside is that the sun will set before five and it will be dark by 5.30pm.

We have received the following message from Sue H:
Parwich First Responders are delighted to announce that the village now has three new responders!
Debbie W, Caroline H and Heather H recently completed their training in Nottingham. It’s great news and helps no end in our ability to provide emergency cover for Parwich. Well done and thank you to all three.
We also have a new rota coordinator: Sam H will be doing our rota every Sunday as part of his volunteering for Gold Duke of Edinburgh.

The proposed changes to the Planning system with particular reference to how communities can shape the future of the areas in which they live and work through engaging in the Planning System in Derbyshire, is to be addressed by a series of Roadshows across the County, with three further training events in December 2011 and January/February 2012, led by the Derbyshire County Training Partnership.
The training events will be free of charge and have been arranged in consultation with the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) and form part of the National Programme of training made possible by Government Grant.

Your Parish Council Needs You!
Are you interested in serving your local community? If so, there is now a perfect opportunity for you to join the Parish Council. As a result of the last uncontested election, there are currently six parish councillors and the Parish Council now needs to co-opt one more person to fill the remaining vacant post to bring the council up to its maximum of seven councillors.
The Parish Council meets monthly, except in August & December (although there is a meeting this December). Discussions are lively and varied, as the Parish Council has a very wide and growing range of responsibilities and interests. This includes the management of the parish land – greens and ponds, the provision of play and recreation facilities, toilets etc. It also is involved in supporting local initiatives through participation and on occasion providing grants. Another important aspect of Parish Council work is engaging in consultation on all local planning matters.
If you are interested, then the Parish Council really wants to hear from you. Please apply in writing, explaining briefly why you would want to join the Parish Council team.
Applications by email/post by Monday 31st October to
Caroline Healy

Today Derbyshire police launched a new telephone number which will make it easier for people to get in touch with the force about issues that do not need an emergency response. So ring 101 instead of 0345 123 33 33, the old non-emergency number.
It is part of a national drive to make it easier for people to contact police to report crime and disorder, with all forces using the number by the end of this year.
While 999 is a well recognised number to report emergencies, that is when a crime is happening, when someone suspected of a crime is nearby or where someone is injured, being threatened or in danger.
most people couldn’t remember the non emergency number.
By calling 101, you will be able to speak to the police force control room of your local police service. Calls from landlines and mobile networks cost 15 pence per call, no matter what time of day you call or how long you are on the phone.
You should use 101 to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response. For example:
– if your car has been stolen;
– if your property has been damaged;
– where you suspect drug use or dealing;
– if you want to report a minor traffic collision;
– if you want to give the police information about crime in your area;
– if you want to speak to your local officers; or
– general enquiries.
Deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired callers can access the service via textphone on 18001 101.
It is hoped that 101 will reduce the number of inappropriate 999 calls, allowing the force to respond to emergencies more effectively. Between April 1 and September 30, Derbyshire police answered 462,423 calls. Of these, 70,520 were emergency calls and 391,903 were non-emergency calls.

For over a year, a dedicated band of Parwich embroiderers and other craftspeople have been working on a special representation of the village. Inspired by Gill S and assisted by Ann K, ten talented people have spent many hours embroidering the landmarks, buildings and inhabitants of Parwich. The project’s aim was to provide people with a chance to meet up and work on something together as a community.
This morning, the wall hanging was unveiled by Rev Andy Larkin at a special church service. Andy made the connection between the threads woven into the fabric and the threads of our community, stressing we are all stronger through our collective interaction and support for each other.

I was relieved to see yesterday that speeding motorists were being brought to book by an unmarked police car, patrolling on the section south of Newhaven. Specifically an unmarked blue VW Passat, slightly grubby and battered looking. With a set of those hidden blue lights that come on to the front and rear of the car when stopping motorists.

Well done to Ben Chadfield on his latest successes. Ben won the Allyen Hardy Rosebowl for the best hedge growth at the Brailsford and District Ploughing & Hedge Cutting Society match. This was from a hedge Ben laid last year.
He achieved 2nd place in the Meynell and South Staffordshire Hunt hedge laying competition and also won the best hedge growth prize.

Hi,
I’m contacting you with a cheeky plea for help/request for info from Comic Relief – I hope you don’t mind!Comic Relief would love to get Parwich involved in Sport Relief 2012 but I’m not sure who in your village would be able to help me do this.
From experience recreation committees or sports clubs are the most suitable people for me to speak to so I wondered if you would be kind enough to pass my email details – l.thornton@comicrelief.com (and this link – http://www.sportrelief.com/the-mile/organise-an-event ) on to them in the hope they’ll get in touch if they are interested?
Your help and support would be massively appreciated.
Thanks, Liz
Organise A Mile Event – What’s In it For You
Whether you’re a local council, leisure centre, sports club or university, there’s a lot to be said for organising your very own Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile:
- It raises crucial cash for life-changing projects up and down the country and across the world.
- It’s a great way to show off your town or, if you run a club, to raise your profile and get new members.
- It’s inclusive, community-based, plus it gets everyone active and involved in a massive national event.
Our currently our nearest venue for the mile run is Ashbourne Recreation Ground on 25th March – Whether you do 1, 3 or 6 miles – as a family team, with your mates or against the clock – you’ll have a fantastic time when you go the distance. And until 15th December it’s half price entry, just £3 for adults, £1.50 for children and £7.50 for a family of four.
Sports Relief is also kicking off in schools.

This Friday sees a new venture for the regular monthly films, Catering 4 Parwich (C4P) will be selling food, sweets and cans, as well as the usual tea & coffee, so Friday night is easy – come along and relax in the Memorial Hall, have your supper and enjoy this great film.
Sara Gruen’s bestselling novel comes to glossy life in this period romance. Robert Pattinson plays Jacob Jankowski, who studies veterinary medicine during the Great Depression. After a family tragedy, he loses everything, including the chance to graduate from prestigious Cornell, so he hops a train, where he finds himself part of the struggling Benzini Brothers Circus. Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson give mesmerising performances in this visually stunning and epic romantic drama, which tells the powerfully emotional story of two people who pursue their love against all odds, rules and conventions, set in the alluring and enigmatic world of a travelling circus, with wonderful performances from an elephant.
“A slice of pure Hollywood escapism”–The Sun
“Glorious piece of romantic drama”–Sunday Mirror

People who cannot get to Peak District National Park HQ during normal office hours can speak to planners at an evening planning surgery on Wednesday November 2.
The National Park Authority has organised the planning surgery from 5pm to 8pm at its head office, Aldern House, Baslow Road, Bakewell, DE45 1AE.
People may seek general advice about a development they have in mind, or discuss one that affects them, or suggest ideas on how planning could help communities.
They can either book 20-minute appointments on 01629 816200 or customer.service@peakdistrict.gov.uk or they can just drop in and be prepared to wait.
Senior planning officers will be available along with John Herbert, chair of the authority’s planning committee.
John Herbert said: “We want to make it easier for residents to have a face-to-face discussion about a planning issue that concerns them. It’s often difficult for people who have other responsibilities during the day to speak to officers in normal office-hours.
“Officers will be there to advise on individual planning cases which as an authority member I cannot discuss, but I do want to hear residents’ views about planning in general. We’re very keen, as we make improvements in the planning service, that we have as many links with people in local communities as possible.”
Anyone who needs planning advice during office hours can contact the authority’s customer service team or they can see a duty planning officer any weekday between 9.15am and 12.45pm at Aldern House. Phone 01629 816200 or email customer.service@peakdistrict.gov.uk .

It seems to be Oil time again. I phoned around a few suppliers, so for info:
Halso (0845 3739577): 58.4p
EMO (Shell) (01773 874015): 57.29p
Peak (01773 302064): 58.99pThese were for 500litre quantity. 1000 litres+ gets a slightly lower price.
I went for EMO because they’re the cheapest today and don’t need immediate payment, but just send an invoice with a couple of weeks credit.
Cheers RickG
