At 1.40pm on Wednesday 30th June, an elderly lady was shopping in the supermarket on King Edward Street, Ashbourne, (Sainsbury’s) when she was approached by an unknown male asking questions to distract her from her shopping trolley. When she returned to her trolley, she noticed her purse had been stolen out of her bag.
The male is described as white, aged between 20-30 years, approx 5’6″-5’7″ tall, possibly Polish due to accent.
Please ask your elderly friends and relatives to be extra vigilant whilst shopping and report anyone acting suspiciously to members of staff at the store. Secure all purses/wallets/handbags. Purse chains are available from the enquiry office at Ashbourne police station.
Anyone with information about this incident should call 0345 123 33 33, quoting crime number: 35085/10.
Thank you – Trisha Mellor, B Division Community Information Officer, Buxton Police Station

We have received the following message:
I would be grateful if you could put a message on the blog for me. I have managed to lose a pair of black ballet shoes and key by leaving them on top of the car and driving away from home without realising. This happened at 4.30pm this afternoon. When I returned about 6.30pm they were nowhere to be seen en route. I am hoping that some kind soul has spotted them and picked them up. Shoes needed for exam next week!
If you are that kind soul please let The Blog Team know at parwich@hotmail.co.uk and we’ll pass the message on.

Open gardens was a fabulous success with many folks making the most of the weather, the great new Memorial Hall, the beautiful gardens and the tasty cream teas.
Over £800 was taken on the door and the day netted over £1350. This is money that will be used by the society to benefit local causes with a horticultural bent, as a thank you to the village for putting up with the disruption of Open Gardens.
Those who were involved in the cream teas worked incredibly hard all day and really appreciated the new kitchen. The new Hall looked stunning with the tables decked with checked table cloths and flowers. The displays from the children were super, but unfortunately entries were well down on previous years despite the monetary rewards. With the doors opening out on to the patio many visitors were able to enjoy the new seating area.
The committee would like to express their thanks to all those who opened their gardens and made the day such a success.

Tension mounted on Sunday afternoon, as two teams warmed up, ready to face each other for the duel of the year. Much training had been undertaken, which was obvious when you saw the teams in action: peak fitness and grim determination. The atmosphere was electric, play was fair and the promise each person showed in training was realised: an outstanding performance. They lasted the course; no fouling, ‘well none that the referee saw’; and the result was just. Parwich lost the volleyball to the Campers but won the tug of war. Heads can be held high, pride is maintained – keep those flags flying.

The Odd Fellows march continued its way through the village, with further refreshment stops at Croft Avenue, Nethergreen and The Fold. Before leaving Croft Avenue, the band made a special detour up to Andrew and Rachel’s house: a kind gesture that was much appreciated by all. After leaving The Fold, it was time for a three-course roast beef lunch in the Memorial Hall, served up by Val K and her team.
Here’s our second photo gallery; please click on each picture to enlarge it.

Week commencing 21 June 2010.
Two wins this week. One very good one win and one not so good, if you can call a win not bad. Are our expectations rising?
Tuesday League – Home – Buxton Park.
You who follow these riveting bowls reports will be aware that we played Buxton last week and got soundly beaten. The start of the second half of the season meant that they came to us. We managed to reverse the position and won 80 to 74. At Buxton we were beaten 81 to 59 so although we did not recoup all of our loss we got close. We dropped one place in the league following last weeks match, let us hope we can move back up again.
Next match – Away – Matlock Golf Club – 29 June – 6.30
Thursday League – Away – Wirksworth.
This is a very large green probably the biggest in the league and it is very demanding. We won the doubles games 2 to 1, and shared the six singles games three each. Although we won overall 110 to 102 our points tally could have done to have been better.
Next match – Home – Chatsworths – 1 July. 1.30 ish.
