Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
Oil Prices are up this week with Brent Crude costing around $64 a barrel, as tensions remain high in the Middle East after last weekends drone attacks. Added to this, and due to strong demand last weekend, Kerosene is also in short supply in some areas with some terminals rationing supply. Delivery times are 7 to 10 working days.
TIP – Pre-winter checks: With winter on its way, please check the condition of your tank. Many suppliers require their drivers to inspect the tank for cracks, sags and whether the tank is fully supported across the base. They may not deliver if the driver finds a problem or is not able to carry out a full inspection.
Therefore, please ensure the driver has unrestricted access to your tank. If in doubt, please ask your boiler engineer to inspect the tank as soon as you can.
Rate: £0.5000 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
Brent Crude is sitting steady this week at $60/$61 a barrel still. However, suppliers are getting busier as we head into the autumn, so it is a good time to top up your tank to prepare for the colder weather. Delivery times are 5 to 10 working days.
TIP – Pre-winter checks: Have you serviced your boiler recently? If not, it would also be a good time to get this booked in to prepare for the winter months ahead.
Over time sludge and deposit can form in your tank, so it is a good idea to upgrade your fuel to premium fuel with an Exocet additive. Exocet additives lower carbon emissions, stabilise fuel, clean injectors, inhibit sludge formation in the tank and improve overall fuel performance. Additives can be purchased from The Oil-Club Shop. If you have an AGA, then please ensure you order the cooker additive.
Rate: £0.4535 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

UPDATE: the dog has been reunited with his owner.
A dog has been found behind Sycamore Cottages – he is approx. 2 years old, light brown and white collie cross with pink nose.
He has a collar but no tag. He could have come into the village over the fields from Tissington.
At present he is with Jacqui and Paul but they can’t keep him for long. Can anyone help or does anyone know who he might belong to – if so please call Jacqui on 390194.

A fast-living, cynical London music executive (Danny Mays) heads to a remote Cornish village on a stag weekend where he’s pranked by his boss (Noel Clarke) into trying to sign a group of shanty singing fishermen (led by James Purefoy). He becomes the ultimate fish out of water as he struggles to gain the respect or enthusiasm of the unlikely boy band and their families (including Tuppence Middleton) who value friendship and community over fame and fortune. As he’s drawn deeper into the traditional way of life he’s forced to re-evaluate his own integrity and ultimately question what success really means.
Certificate 12
Guardian**** “Corny it may be –but this gentle, sweet-natured comedy has warmth and a certain X factor of likability, helped by big-hearted performances from a cast including Daniel Mays and Tuppence Middleton. It’s inspired by the true story of the Fisherman’s Friends, an all-male a capella folk singing group from Port Isaac in Cornwall who in the noughties became an unexpected hit for their authentic sea shanties.

This was reported this morning at 9.34:
Backhill Lane blocked.
A tree has fallen across the road on Backhill Lane just north from where is joined by Monsdale Lane. It has been passed using the verge but this may not be suitable for larger or more delicate vehicles. It has been reported to the police who should arrange for it to be cleared.

The Parish Council has been approached by residents concerned about the number of cars that are sometimes parked in this area. The Clerk undertook to look into the possibility of using a residents’ parking scheme to address these concerns. These schemes are run by the Highways Authority (Derbyshire County Council) who provide details on their website. These schemes cover relatively large areas, do not guarantee parking in any particular place and come at a significant cost to residents.They do not seem suitable for Parwich.
The owner of the Old Shop has kindly allowed the Clerk to have sight of the marketing text for its letting and the advice for guests. This is consistent with trying to avoid inconvenience for residents, although it is not possible to guarantee that it is always followed.
The road is a public space and the Parish Council does not formally have either any authority, or responsibility, to control how it is used. Should vehicles be parked illegally (e.g. either obstructing emergency vehicles or not taxed) this can be reported to the relevant authority.
The Parish Council would therefore simply like to encourage residents and visitors to park considerately and continue to attempt to resolve any problems courteously.

I have had a hen go missing recently. The breed is called Needwood Blue.
If by chance she’s joined anyone’s flock or she may be nesting in a tree or garden, could you give me a call please.
Many thanks,Alex – 390743

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
Rates edge up slightly this week as Brent Crude continues to hover around $60/$61 a barrel. However, suppliers are seeing a noticeable increase in activity this week as we all prepare for winter. Have you checked your tank levels and filled up for the winter months ahead? Delivery times are 5 to 10 working days.
TIP – Pre winter checks: With the evenings already getting much cooler, this weekend would be a good time to test your central heating to check it has not developed any gremlins over the summer.
Have you serviced your boiler recently? If not, it would also be a good time to get this booked in. Bleeding any air that has built up in the radiators is also good idea if you are able to do so, to ensure your heating is running at maximum efficiency.
Rate: £0.4600 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

Mixed fortunes on the green this week. We played our last game on a Tuesday evening at home against Matlock Bath who were keen to win in order to gain promotion to Division 1. We always have a lovely, sociable evening with them so we felt somewhat guilty when we beat them easily by 78 points to 52. However, on seeing the results the following morning for the rest of the League we were pleased to see that they were still promoted. We finished a creditable 5th in this League.
Thursday afternoon saw us playing away at Youlgrave – you may well recall that a previous writer
of these notes was convinced that there is an elephant buried under this green! Well, I can confirm that it is still there and working very much in the home team’s favour! – or maybe they just have a very good team who are top of the Division whilst we are bottom. Suffice to say we had our greatest defeat this year losing 74-153. Only 1 more game this season next Thursday at home to Hathersage.
HELP NEEDED!!!
During October we are having an end of season maintenance day (cutting hedges, painting sheds, scarifying the green etc.). We would much appreciate a few hours of help with these tasks. If you are willing to assist, please let us know via the comment on the Blog or telephone 724. Many thanks.
The date will be advised later.

Time to start your Sunday early. We have changed the children’s football from Friday to Sunday morning.
This change has come about from our work demands, but should also allow us to play on grass for longer, which is far safer.
We will start at 9am and finish around 10am giving you the rest of the day to enjoy the remainder of your weekend.
We hope this change of time will be successful and are looking forward to seeing the children there this weekend!
Reminder that young children should be accompanied by parents, we are always looking for parent helpers, parents should familiarise themselves with our rules.
Thanks
Jason, James & Charles.
