Despite rumours that their tribute band the B52s were stepping in, everyone was ecstatic when the real A52s took the stage last night.
As our roving photographer commented:
What a professional looking lot. And you’re never too young to start!”

We have received the following message from Sue H:
I sit in our kitchen and listen to the whoosh of cars or the great clanking of tractors that are simply going too fast. (For the most part lorries and vans approach at a much more acceptable speed). I can’t say whether vehicles are actually breaking the speed limit but they are certainly driving too fast to be safely under control. I really fear for a serious accident at some point. There have already been 2 kittens killed on the road and I hate the thought that at some point it could well be a child. We have 9 youngsters along this stretch, some of whom are old enough to be road savvy but others who will just be starting to venture out on their own.
Perhaps drivers are not aware that they are already in the village when they come down from Townhead. Or perhaps they think that they have already left all civilisation once past the Hall on their way up through Parwich Dale. Nobody seems to take notice of the existing “school” sign. I seem to remember someone mentioning Brassington’s idea for slowing down traffic at entry points to the village: white road markings and white fencing to give the impression of the road narrowing. Is this something we should be considering? Or what about setting a 20 mph limit through the village? Maybe this would be the only way to make people more responsible in their driving.
What do you think….?

Andrew’s loss is strongly felt by the Community of which he has been such an active participant. Our sympathy goes out to Rachel and their family.
His funeral is at 1-30pm on Monday 27th September in St. Peter’s Church, followed by refreshments in the Memorial Hall.
Members of the parish will be decorating the Church, so if you have any flowers or Autumn foliage (including berries) from your gardens, please bring them to the Church on Saturday or on Sunday morning and leave them in the buckets provided near the entrance. If in doubt about what to bring contact Jean C or Helen P.
This week’s Stunner has a couple of Parwich references; on p.5 there is a photograph of Janet behind the bar, accompanying an article on the 2011 Good Beer Guide which includes an entry on the Sycamore Inn.
Also on p.7 there is a short article about this Saturday’s official opening of the new Memorial Hall, including a concert by the B52s. Does this mean that the Highways Agency has down graded the band, or have they changed their name to fit in with the Memorial aspect of the Hall?

Thanks to all those who helped in any way to make last night’s Harvest Supper such a success. I am pleased to say that £350 was raised to support the work of the Padley Centre in Derby. In addition £106 was collected on Sunday at our Harvest Festival Service for flood relief in Pakistan.
Thank you to Helen who send this comment in.

Parwich were represented by 4 runners in the Ashbourne half marathon and fun run. Bertie L the 6th boy to finish the fun run, just ahead of Izzy P who was the third girl to finish.
In the half marathon Sue P was only a few minutes ahead of Graham J, he was running his first half marathon and has never run more than 10 miles. Both runners finished in less that 1 hour 50 minutes, on what is considered a tough course, going up a number of hills near Thorpe and Blore before finishing back at the rugby ground.
Well done to everyone – a great morning.
Thanks to Ben for the photos

We have received the following message from Rebecca:
Apologies to the existing Pilates exercisers who are young in mind if not in body, but there is interest from some of the younger residents in the village in setting up their own session.
A free taster class will be held on Wednesday 29th September from 7.30 – 8.30pm.
Minimum age: 11 years.
Maximum age: could be controversial – I feel I’m on dangerous ground here!If you are interested, please spread the word amongst yourselves, on Facebook etc, as the class will need to be large enough to be viable.

I would like to thank the people of Parwich for the wonderful cards and visitors my mum received while in the hospital. It was comforting for me, being in the States, to see how many people took the time for my mum.
My mum has lived in and loved your village for over 25 years and it’s really nice to see so many come together in her time of need.
Thanks to Janet in the Pub for helping organize the Village get well card, that was really great.
Thanks to Jean & Martin – First Responders are Life Savers!
Please try to keep her from doing too many projects…And good luck to you!
Thanks so much,
Wendy Booth

This morning on the B5056 a small border terrier bitch, sandy beige in colour, was found happily roaming down the middle of the road. The person who saw it was worried about the dog being hit by a lorry. The Derbyshire Dales dog warden has collected the dog and can be contacted on 01629 761 215.

PARWICH BOWLS CLUB:
Thursday 9 September 2010 – Home – Tideswell.
Last game of the season and what a cracker. Having finished rather ignominiously last week in the Tuesday League against Bakewell, we made up for things in the final match in the Thursday League.
We were played against Tideswell who are a much bigger club than us. They were on a couple of places below us in the League and only 16 points behind us.
The format of the Thursday League is 3 doubles to 21(63) and six singles to 15(90). The maximum score you can get is 153. We got 149!! We won all three doubles for the first time this year and four of the singles, only narrowly missing out in the two singles games we lost.
Fairly confidently we can predict we finished sixth in the League.
We now have a break for a month or so and then we move indoors to play ‘short mat bowls’ in Ashbourne on Monday afternoons. If you would like a try then speak to a member of the Bowls Club.
We don’t actually stop going to the green either. A considerable amount of work takes place readying the Green for winter. If you want to know how to get your lawn ‘like a bowling green’ come and have a look.
Enjoy your winter sports. Roll on April 2011. Can’t wait.
John B
