In the last few days, several people have spotted a kingfisher in the vicinity of the pond by the pub, and along the brook that runs behind The Fold….
The Elves have managed to find out Santa’s route around the Village. He is starting on Sunday (20th) at 5pm from the Village Green and will follow the route below….

Don’t forget to give him and the elves a Christmas cheer and wave.

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
Oil prices rise as the market is full of vaccine optimism, notably out of the UK, which started mass vaccinations on Tuesday. Brent Crude is up at $50 a barrel. Delivery times are currently between 7 and 10 working days but are subject to weather and supply conditions.
Be sure you order early – Suppliers delivery slots are now filling up as we count down to Christmas, the New Year and Brexit. Whilst many orders will be delivered before Christmas this can no longer be guaranteed and as always in the winter months, supply is subject to weather and supply conditions. We hope there will not be any Brexit disruption but most of our fuel is imported so please order early.
However, if you are already very low or have run out though, this group order will not be suitable..
Rate: £0.3250 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

I’ve been talking to the Elves and they have let it slip that Santa will be driving through Parwich on Sunday 20th December from 5pm 🎅🎅🎅
I will keep you posted on all the Santa updates and find out which way he will be driving so we can all give him a big Christmas cheer and wave as he drives through on his way to Lapland.
Remember to be good so you don’t get on the naughty list!

We have received this from the NationalPark Authority.
Can you help the Peak District National Park Authority to set policy for the future of the National Park?
Climate change. Nature recovery. Sustainable communities. Low carbon transport.
These are just a few of the big ticket challenges the National Park is facing. The planning process is vital in addressing such issues and works best when local authorities, local communities and developers work together creating effective partnerships to achieve positive outcomes. Planning matters, this is why when we produce plans and policies, we ask everyone to take part in the consultation.
We are currently reviewing the Peak District National Park Local Plan. It is a plan for the future development of the local area which we write and implement in close consultation with you. We use the planning policies we develop in the Local Plan to make decisions on the hundreds of planning applications we receive each year. To make the right decisions we need your help to decide what goes into the Local Plan and that will guide development in the National Park over the next 20 years.
Please complete the survey at https://www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/planning/policies-and-guides/the-local-plan and find out more about the Local Plan review process, including timescales, background information and how to get involved.
Survey results will be published online. These will influence the next stage in the formal consultation, ‘Issues and Options’.
If you have any queries, please contact the policy team on policy@peakdistrict.gov.uk

The elves have been super busy around Parwich and will be ready for you to find them from 12th – 20th December. There are 15 elves in total and each one has a letter which spell out two Christmas words.
Copies of the map will be available from The Sycamore Pub shop or you can download it here.

Once you have completed the trail return to the Sycamore shop where they have very kindly donated a small treat for each child.
Any questions or problems just email friend to the elves Lucy M lucywigley@googlemail.com

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
Brent Crude passes $49 a barrel today on news that OPEC+ have agreed to maintain the majority of the current production cuts from January 2021. Delivery times are currently between 7 and 10 working days but are subject to weather and supply conditions.
Be sure you order early. Suppliers delivery slots are now filling up as we count down to Christmas. If you require fuel before Christmas, this may be the last weekend to ensure this happens and, as always in the winter months, supply is subject to weather and supply conditions. We hope there will not be any Brexit disruption but most of our fuel is imported so please order early.
However, if you are already very low or have run out though, this group order will not be suitable.

0.5 day loan of a wheelchair?
My mother is waiting for a hip replacement and therefore limited in her mobility at this time, I’d like to be able to take her into Chatsworth gardens to see the Christmas lights this year because she’s moving away in 2021. Is anyone able to lend us a wheelchair for a weekday afternoon and evening (return can either be that evening or first thing the following morning)?
Thank you for considering this.

We’ve had two parcels delivered but the location in the delivery photo is not our house! I wondered if anyone in the village had them delivered by mistake and we could pick them up? They were Bowflex dumbbells delivered by Hermes for Amazon. I’ve attached the delivery picture.

Today’s the first Sunday and gathering on Zoom between 1730 and 1800. Our service will include hymns (which you can sing loudly at home without anyone else hearing!).
- 1730 bring your own tea/coffee & cake for a chat if you wish
- 1800 service starts
Contact Rev Carollyn on revcarollyn@peakfive.org or 664132 or Andrew C on andrew@colliefamily.plus.com or 390684 for info on how to join in via computer, tablet and phone (including landline) and accessing the words.

The Elves are starting to get super excited they have found enough helpers in the Village to do their Elf Trail. It will be available on here and from the pub from Saturday 12th – Sunday 20th December. Take your map, find all the cheeky Elves with their letters then claim your prize from the pub.
Any questions email our helper Lucy M – lucywigley@googlemail.com

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
Continued developments in the Covid-19 vaccine and expectations that OPEC+ will roll over the current cuts for a further three months from January 2021, have pushed Brent Crude past $48 a barrel this week, up $10 from a month ago. Delivery times are currently between 7 and 10 working days.
Have you checked your oil levels? With Christmas only 4 weeks away and oil prices now rising, we recommend doing a visual check of your oil tank. Prices in December are often much higher than normal due to increased demand for deliveries before Christmas. If you are already very low or have run out though, this group order will not be suitable.
Rate: £0.2880 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

With the news today we are going in tier 3 I’m really keen to try and create just a little bit of Christmas magic in Parwich. I’m hoping to create an elf trail around the village but I need your help! My plan is to create a map and it will show where the elves are hiding in the village. Ideally I would love some households in Parwich to draw and hide an elf in their garden or window displaying a letter, which when all put together spell out a Christmas word. The maps could be collected from the shop and then returned with the answer to claim a little treat.
If you would be interested in drawing, printing or creating an elf please let me know and I can start planning the route and let you know what letter you will be.
Thanks a million in advance – Lucy M lucywigley@googlemail.com, 390737 or Facebook messenger me

*** Change of dates to 18th Dec, 15th Jan and 12th Feb ***
The Mobile Library Service will call at Parwich between 12:15 and 1:00pm on Friday 18th Dec, 29th Jan and 26th Feb.
The service is operating a `book and borrow’ system, which means customers need to phone to book an appointment on one of the numbers below, and will be able to pick up a maximum of 10 books.
- Buxton mobile library: 01629 533464
- Long Eaton mobile library: 01629 531398
Appointment times will last 5 minutes, and for the time being customers will not be able to select their own books by stepping onto the vehicle. Instead, they will be asked what type of books they like reading and a selection will be made for them so they can pick them up at their allotted time.
All returned books will be quarantined for 72 hours and customers will need to bring their own bag to pick up their books.
As the service is mornings only it will not be possible to visit all the usual stops, and new routes have been introduced. This will be reviewed over the coming weeks and months.
Customers affected by the changes can contact ask.library@derbyshire.gov.uk or call 01629 533444 to discuss receiving ahome library service during this period.
