On May the 15th the Parish Council will hold the Parish Annual Meeting at 7:30pm and the Annual Meeting of the Parish Council at 7:45pm. Both in the Memorial Hall.
Residents are invited to attend either of these meetings if they wish.
The Parish Annual Meeting is something which the Council is required to hold, but it is not governed by any set format or regulations. Open discussion, not normally possible in the regular Council meetings, is permitted. But the Council cannot take any decisions in this meeting – other than to place any matters arising on the agenda for a later formal meeting.
Annual Meeting is a formal meeting of the Parish Council held in accordance with the normal rules governing Parish Council meetings. A number of reviews take place which are required annually by the Council’s Standing Orders.
As in previous years the Council will take the opportunity to provide summaries of activities and finances during the past year.
Village organisations have been invited to come and talk about their own past and planned activities if they wish.
If there is anything you would like to see added to this meeting please contact the Clerk to the Council, Andrew Martin, on clerk@parwichparishcouncil.org.uk
Agendas for both meetings will be published later in the week.

It seems just in the last couple of nights, I’ve had someone poaching around the back garden.
Could I please ask everyone to be vigilant and let’s keep an eye out if they return or are potentially also looking at visiting your home.
Thanks,
Alex S.

Trailer

Starring Academy Award Winner Jim Broadbent as Harold and Penelope Wilton as his wife Maureen, and based on the best-selling novel, this beautiful and feel-good film tells the story of a man who leaves his seaside town in South Devon to deliver a message to an old friend. He’s an unremarkable man. Now, well into his 60s, he is content to fade quietly into the background of life. But when Harold learns his friend Queenie is dying, he is moved to act. He leaves home, walking to the post box to send her a letter, until he realises a letter is not enough. In that moment Harold decides to keep walking, all the way to her hospice, some 500 miles away in Berwick-upon-Tweed: as long as he walks, Queenie must live. Surprising himself as much as his wife Maureen, Harold embarks on a walk of hope, determined to travel the length of England to save his friend.
Spectator review **** an incredibly beautiful film to look at…Broadbent is a wonder, so real and sincere it doesn’t feel like acting. Woods and streams and fields and plump blackberries are gorgeously photographed. It makes you long to visit England even though you live here.

Home Advantage Counting for Little – So Far!
This time last year I wrote: “The last vestiges of winter have been defenestrated, young birds are hatching, lawns are being mowed again.” This year however I can no longer cast the mind back to three consecutive days without rain! Under the circumstances wonders have been worked to get the green ready for the bowls season and John should indeed take a bow for doing so.
Not an auspicious start, though. We began the Thursday League season with a home encounter with last year’s League champions Tideswell. They didn’t gain that recognition without reason and humbled us somewhat, making it clear that we’ll need to work hard to remain in the newly attained status of Division One.
On Thursday this week we were due to visit our old friends at Bakewell, but necessary maintenance to their playing surface dictated that our fixtures against them this year be switched. Therefore the match was played at Parwich, in Arctic conditions I may add, but enforced “home” advantage was not taken and we were again left to lick our wounds at the finish, albeit by a mere 5 points this time.
Other teams will no doubt be in similar boats with Bakewell at present, so it’s quite possible that they will be left to play the second half of the season on the surface they know so well.
However the season is a marathon and not a sprint. We’ve seen what we’re up against and will put things right. We’ll approach each game with all guns blazing and I’m sure can rise up that table and be there or thereabouts come the latter stages of the campaign. Vagaries of the fixtures calendar mandate that we don’t play away from home until the first Thursday in May, as the Tuesday League season starts with home match against Hope Works tomorrow night (23rd April) and then an “Away” visit to Bakewell on our own patch…
2nd May we will incur petrol costs for the first time with a day out to Belper.
Support would be most welcome as we recover the iffy start and strive to bring the silverware home – but suggest you bring a raincoat! Like and follow us too on Facebook/Parwich Crown Green Bowling Club
