The avenue of horse-chestnut trees at Nethergreen was planted to celebrate the coronation of the Queen nearly 60 years ago. For some fifty years they flourished, supplying several generations with conkers. A number of years ago they were discovered to have a disease, that could not be treated.
Professional advice was for the disease run its course, cutting down the worst effected trees as necessary. Unfortunately some more had to go today:
The disease is spread in the ground water so any replacement chestnuts would succumb. However here is a reminder of the same view a year ago:
Photos by JF-S (At least the very old chestnut tree in the Churchyard is up steam, and a ‘left over’ tree from the avenue is still going strong in Hallcliffe garden, where it was planted by Mrs Dodds.)

Thank you to Rebecca for this update on the final coffee morning total, and the lost property notice:
The final total raised for Macmillan Cancer Support is £437.85, thanks to further donations from people who could not attend the coffee morning and gifts on behalf of Judith and Alan Smith’s silver wedding anniversary.
I have also acquired a red and white stripped canvas bag left after the coffee morning, if the owner would like to claim it.
Many thanks,
Rebecca (390318) and Sandra

St Peter’s Church’s green waste wheelie bin was put out for emptying last Thursday, but by lunchtime that day had gone missing.
If anyone has seen it, could they put it in the Church Yard (just inside the gates), or let the Church Wardens know (messages via parwich@hotmail.co.uk will be passed on).

The next meeting of the Tissington Safer Neighbourhood Policing Meeting will be held for the first time in Parwich, at the Memorial Hall on Monday 13th December at 7pm.
In the minutes of the last meeting, held at Kniveton on 27th September, the group, under Sgt Steve Edwards and PCSO Kate Cleveley discussed ‘Community SpeedWatch’. The scheme is already up and running in many of the villages. Training would be given by the Sgt and then volunteers can use the equipment and fill in the appropriate paperwork. A PCSO would be in attendance to assist. It was pointed out that there would be no enforcement, but a letter is sent out to the driver to inform them of their speed.
This may be of interest to our community and anyone is welcome to attend the next meeting in December. The police chair the meeting and normally various councillors and local residents attend and raise relevant issues.

Cheryl Woolley’s cat Bernadette (Bernie) has gone missing. Bernie was last seen on Thursday. She is black, slim and very shy – so she will run away if approached.
Could people please check their garages and outhouses, and maybe leave the door ajar for ten minutes so that she can make her way out.
Any information mailed to the blog team at parwich@hotmail.co.uk will be passed straight to Cheryl.

We have received the following email from Andy L:
Despite the road works, this afternoon has been hair raising on Smithy Lane. The attached photo is from one of the skid marks where two tractors, both with large trailers, nearly collided head on. I didn’t measure it but it is more than six feet in length. Unfortunately they didn’t seem to learn from this experience nor take any notice of the children coming out of the school on foot. I witnessed two near collisions just in the time it took me to fetch the kids from school. I appreciate that some of the folk passing through have a job to get done and that “time is money” but this is getting silly.

The Marian Trio: Piano Chris Harrison, Flute Heather Prestwich, Cello Imogen Rex. A lovely way to spend an Autumn evening. Thank you for an enjoyable concert.

Is anyone else experiencing problems with their Freeview TV reception from the Sutton Coldfield transmitter?
We started having problems yesterday. This website implies that they are carrying out engineering work, so I’m loathed to call out an engineer just yet.
