On behalf of the Parwich Royal British Legion Committee we would like to thank the village for all their support and generosity during the Poppy Appeal last year.
A fantastic £1842.44 was raised. The Sycamore, the school and the Legion were very proactive in seeking donations.
Many thanks, once again, must also go to Karen Wigley, Liz Edge and Tim Ryder for their hard work in co-ordinating the appeal and collecting door to door in the village.
Can I please thank the person who picked up my mobile phone which I must have dropped getting out of my car by the church last night and putting it on the windscreen for me to find.
Given the state of the roads in the local area, the following link may be of interest to people unlucky enough to need to consider making a claim as a result of pothole damage:
There are 10-12 escapee sheep, possibly from Alsop direction, that were lose on Alsop Road and that are now in the field behind Veronica’s (Station Farm). They are white with black markings on their faces and blue markings on their backs.
Please can the owner reclaim them as soon as possible as they are damaging walls and fences from trying to get out.
During World War II, Lt. Gen. Leslie Groves appoints a physicist, J. Robert Oppenheimer to work on the top-secret Manhattan Project. “This is a national emergency. We’re in a race against the Nazis. And I know what it means if the Nazis have a bomb. We’ve got one hope,” Oppenheimer, says to a group of men in suits.
Believing that the Nazis have an 18-month head start on their own atomic bomb, Oppenheimer and Lt. Gen. Leslie Groves, rush to recruit scientists from all across the country.
“Why? Why? How about because this is the most important thing to ever happen in the history of the world,” Groves yells at a scientist who questions “why” he should move his family to the “middle of nowhere for who knows how long.”
“Are we saying there’s a chance that when we push that button, we destroy the world?” the lieutenant asks, to which Oppenheimer replies, “Chances are near zero.I can perform this miracle. The world will remember this day. Our work here will ensure a peace mankind has never seen,” Oppenheimer says.
The work comes to fruition on July 16, 1945, as they witness the world’s first nuclear explosion, forever changing the course of history.
