We have a double bed free to a new home later this month. I believe it was originally from Ikea, is solid wood and in really good condition. Cat not included! Welcome to the mattress also if wanted. Debbie W 390568

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 😍😍

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 😁

We’ve a great mix of local businesses coming to the village market including stalls selling plants, pickles and chutneys, crystal coasters, knitted and crocheted goods and dog bandanas with matching scrunchies.
Not forgetting of course our Wakes regulars Margaret who is raising funds for Cheadle Animal Welfare Society and the school who will have their own fundraising tombola.
There are just a few pictures below to whet your appetite. Please do come along and support these local businesses whilst enjoying the festivities of the day.

Whilst we admire the beauty of the gardens on display during Open Gardens we don’t perhaps fully appreciate the effort and dedication that goes into the quest for perfection. We are indebted to David G who managed to catch this behind the scenes shot of one of our more athletic gardeners in his effort to get everything just in the correct position.

Yesterday’s Open Gardens was a triumph. Huge thanks to the hard working team behind the event and to the whole village both for supporting it in different ways and for welcoming so many visitors, who frequently said how lucky we are to live in such a wonderful place. Early estimates suggest several thousand pounds were raised which is a fantastic achievement and John Lord’s amazing photos are a lasting memory of a great day.
Thank you from PDHS
