11 April 2011 -Week 2.
Having started off with a win in week 1 we came down to earth with a bit of gentle bump. We were away in both leagues.
Tuesday league – 12 April – Away – Lafarge.
The format of this league is 4 doubles games, first to 21. We won two and lost two. This team were only just relegated from the higher division last year so the result of 76 to Lafarge and 70 to Parwich was really good. It was also a good job we were at Lafarge. Although we lost the match the individual games were close. In consequence it was very late by the time we had finished. Fortunately Lafarge have floodlights. Some of us have never played under floodlights, but it was really good.
Next match – HOME – Chatsworth B – 19 April 6.30pm start.
Thursday Friendly league – 14 April – Away – Baslow B.
Three doubles up to 21 and six singles up to 15. Total points available 154. We did not manage to win a doubles, although in one game we only lost 20 to 21. In the singles we shared the games 3 each. The final result was 125 to Baslow and 111 to Parwich. A very creditable score.
Next match – HOME – Wirksworth A – 21 April – 1.45 pm start.
Throughout the year we play friendly matches against teams from either different divisions or even different leagues. This Sunday we are going to Hazelwood for a match. They have over 150 members !!- oh if only some would come our way. The venue is also top class and we always look forward to going there to see how the other half live!!
We had a good practice on Monday night and again we had our two young men having a go. You would not believe how much the two improved. Our new lady member also did so much better. Keep coming you guys.
Don’t forget to come along on Monday night, about 6.30pm.
John B.

Film Night Tonight
Posted in Events, Films, Memorial hall on Friday April 15, 2011| Leave a Comment »
From the director of Calendar Girls comes a new comedy-drama with an all-star British cast.
The film stars the award winning Sally Hawkins as Rita O’Grady, who is the catalyst for the 1968 Ford Dagenham strike by 187 sewing machinists which led to the advent of the Equal Pay Act. Working in extremely impoverished conditions and for long arduous hours, the women at the Ford Dagenham plant finally lay down their tools when they are reclassified as “unskilled”.
With humour, common sense and courage they take on their corporate paymasters, an increasingly belligerent local community, and finally the government itself. The leader of the women’s struggle is fast-talking, no nonsense Rita, whose fiery temper and occasionally hilarious unpredictability proves to be a match for any of her male opponents, and is echoed by Barbara Castle’s struggle in the male-dominated House of Commons.
The film stars a host of Britain’s finest acting talent, including Sally Hawkins (Happy-Go-Lucky, It’s A Wonderful Afterlife), Bob Hoskins (The Long Good Friday, Mona Lisa), Miranda Richardson (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), and Rosamund Pike (Pride & Prejudice, An Education).
In the warm and comfortable Parwich Memorial Hall on
Friday 15th April at 7.45pm.
Free Entrance … Refreshments … Raffle

Swimming underwater: Part Four
Posted in Arts, Esther Underwater, People on Thursday April 14, 2011| Leave a Comment »
Parwich artist Esther Tyson is working on a project to immortalise the seahorses of Dorset in art – but first of all, she has to learn to swim underwater! Esther’s project diary continues below…
Day Eleven.
I’m back from London in time to grab my swim bag and walk to Matt’s. (Matt is a dive instructor in Parwich!) The prep talk is over and we are in the pool, discussing what comes next. Tonight, we are going for a bit of depth.
“But first, I would like you to leave your mask on the side – and, breathing with your regulator, go under.”
I didn’t see that coming. I ready myself above water, breathe in, breathe out, in, out… It takes me a couple of minutes to get my head under water, but I’m under!
I’m breathing steadily through the regulator for a minute or less; it just feels longer. No water up my nose!
Squatting in fins is difficult; I end up with one knee bent and one foot forward, with the other knee on the tiled floor and the other foot back for balance while we prepare. Ready, I bring my left fin round, getting into position for the swim, but as I do, the weight distribution shifts. My tank is now heavier than my body and I pirouette to an upside down turtle. It makes me laugh and my mask immediately fills with water! Managing to clear it – while at the same time upside down, laughing and letting more in – isn’t good!
Matt grabs my strap and rights me. Thank goodness for that! Now for the deep end…

I have been away. On my return I see there has been some chat about swallows etc.
I hope this information which I saw at at Barnes Wet Lands will help solve problems.
I also saw a heron spear a fish. Picture attached. (Yes it was a heron.)

Mowers wanted!

Graham J writes:
Having cut a portion of the church yard grass every couple of weeks during the growing season for a few years now, I am finding the pressure of my day job making it increasingly difficult to keep on top of the church yard.
I wonder if any mowing enthusiast would like to have a go for a while and give me a break, so I can get my work/life back into a bit of balance?
Please let me know, and I’ll direct you to the mower shed and the area I do. (You can tell – it’s the one which isn’t cut at the moment!!!)

Any ideas for hotels in Venice?
Posted in Uncategorized on Saturday April 9, 2011| Leave a Comment »
We are going for a few days to Venice later this year. Can anyone suggest a nice modest hotel or somewhere to stay?
We shall be arriving fairly late at night, and I am not sure how easy it is to get to places after the water transport has ended.
Any other tips would be welcome.

Thursday League – Home – Bradwell – 7 April 20111
First match of the season. Usually our first match is played in cold wet weather, but this day was really warm and sunny.
The format of the Thursday League is 3 doubles matches are played first to 21 and 6 singles first to 15. In the League it is points that count not necessarily matches won.
In today’s match we won 1 out of the 2 doubles and 3 out of the 6 singles. However the point’s totals were 48 to 49 in the doubles and 67 to 65 in the singles giving Parwich the win by one point 115 to 114. As you can imagine the outcome of the game was not known until the final singles had finished. A great start to the season. Lets us hope we can carry on doing well as the season progresses.
Our next League match is in the Tuesday night league against Lafarge at Hope on 12 April.
We will of course be having a practice night on Monday night at around 6.30pm until dark. See you there.

Summer swallows?

Our first pair of swallows returned today – they swirled and chattered around the stables, diving in and out of the doors.
We are always happy to see them and feel that summer is coming.

Parwich Bowls Club – update
Posted in Bowls, Events, Societies, Sport on Tuesday April 5, 2011| Leave a Comment »
We had our first practice session on Monday night. A new lady member came down to have a try. Very good too. We also had two young men ( aged 11 and 10 ) who also played a number of ‘ends’ A good evening all round.
Our first league match takes place this Thursday at home. As was mentioned in the earlier comment, it is against Bradwell. The match starts at 1.45pm and usually finishes at about 4.15/4.30pm.
If you have the time on Thursday afternoon, why not come to the green and have a look? You may even get a nice cup of tea or coffee.
