Well what a week its been, the weather has been on our side and every event has been brilliantly supported. Everything from the traditional March, Carnival, Fair, Hill Race and Kid’s sports to the slightly less traditional Hungry Hippos and Bullseye I think we can all say we have definitely had a laugh and a smile along the way.

So it’s nearly time for the Carnival and Recreation Committee to sign off for a few weeks well deserved rest! But before we do THANK YOU to each and everyone of you. It takes a whole village to make these events successful and the Committee is only as good as all the helpers and supporters along the way so again THANK YOU.

Now enjoy the Strong Man today and see you all next year – put Saturday 1st July 2023 in your diary now 😁

Here are a few photos from Pete G from the last few days…

Well done to the ladies as well we had a strong turn out this year and hopefully it peaked an interest in a few more for next year 😉. Here are the results..

So so proud of all the kids who took part last night, after a two year break they smashed it. Parwich Primary School sports curriculum is definitely paying off 😍😍

What am amazing turn out of runners both locally and from running clubs 😊. I know people are very keen to see their times so you can download a copy or read them below. I’ll add the results for each category later on today.

Firstly thank you to everyone who came out to the Treasure Hunt last night and to the Trelfas and Wildes for setting it. The winners were:

1st The Swindells
2nd Millis Mob
3rd The Cundy Family

Answers are…

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who has participated and hopefully enjoyed Wakes so far. It’s been an awesome weekend and record numbers of people attending. It means a lot to us Parwich folk and the Carnival and Recreation Committee that this tradition continues and this spurs us on to keep going. A massive shout out to everyone that has helped, donated or just contributed to the weekend and the best news is there is still a full week of events to go. A special shout out to Notts DA for attending, we have missed Ian and his family but his legacy will carry on.

Hopefully see you all around for the rest of the week and I’ll be sharing some better quality photos later in the week (thanks to David G).

But in the meantime here are just a few of mine so I will simply sign off with a THANK YOU and long may Parwich Wakes continue. Now to get ready for the Treasure Hunt 😁
