Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
Brent Crude passes $65 a barrel this week, the highest level since Nov 2018 as Opec said it tightened crude production cutting 800,000 barrels a day from its oil exports in January. If you are low on oil and could run out in the next few weeks, this order is not suitable. As this is a group order and suppliers are busy we are not able to make special requests.
TIP : Is your tank fit and healthy? Please do check its condition regularly to ensure there are no cracks or sags! If not ask your boiler engineer to have a look at the tank. Firms are required to ask their drivers to inspect the tank before delivery and may not deliver if they find an issue.
Rate: £0.4780 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

Wasn’t the starling murmuration spectacular over the village tonight? Thank you David G for the photos and thank you David S for an explanation as to why the starling formation was so good tonight.
Just one for the observers, ( if not noted) this evening they were under attack from three sparrow hawks creating even more dramatic shapes as they avoided contact, I did not see any taken, but the hawks have soon observed when a meal is available and what time.

CHICKS Children’s Charity offers much-needed respite breaks to disadvantaged children aged 8-15 from around the UK.
Our Daleside Retreat in Fenny Bentley is looking for volunteers to help support the work that we do.
There are plenty of different ways in which you could get involved – maybe fundraising or hosting a coffee morning, helping with crafts at events,
manning a CHICKS stand in Ashbourne, taking our collection tins out or even helping us with the garden.
This year we have plenty of exciting events planned including Tissington Well Dressings and The Dodson & Horrell Chatsworth International Horse Trials
You can volunteer for as much or as little time as you like – we are very flexible and do understand that it needs to fit round your existing
Commitments.
It’s a great opportunity to learn some new skills, meet new people within the community and become part of the larger CHICKS family.
If you would like to learn a bit more about volunteering for CHICKS please call Karen Robinson on 01335 350 525 or email: community@chicks.org.uk

The Returning Officer for Derbyshire Dales has asked to publicise the following in relation to the forthcoming Parish Council elections.
Summary
The Elections (if required) will take place on the 2nd of May.
Those who wish to stand can download nomination packs at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/elections2019
Candidate Briefings
The Returning Officer has arranged a briefing for prospective candidates at Matlock Town Hall at 6.00pm on Tuesday 19 February 2019 when they will outline what the role entails and the nomination process. This is open to anyone interested in standing for election in Derbyshire Dales.
There will be a further briefing for confirmed candidates on Tuesday 9 April 2019, also at Matlock Town Hall at 6.00pm. On this occasion they will point out some election do’s and don’ts and also provide details of the counting arrangements. All confirmed candidates and agents (where appropriate) are invited
Nominations
The Returning Officer will accept nominations at Matlock Town Hall
18 March – 3 April (between 10am and 4pm)
At the Agricultural Business Centre Bakewell

Monday 25 March – 10am – 12 noon
At Ashbourne Town Hall

Monday 25 March – 2pm – 4pm
Whilst not mandatory, candidates are strongly advised to make an appointment during the above times, by calling 01629 761335, to avoid delay and to allow the Returning Officer and her staff to carry out an informal check of the nomination so that any errors or omissions can be rectified prior to formal submission.
Parish Clerks
To maintain their impartiality Parish Clerks should not assist sitting or prospective members with their applications and, consequently, Derbyshire Dales District Council will not be supplying nomination packs to Parish and Town Clerks.

Thousands of starlings gathered around the giant horse chestnut in the churchyard this evening, the beginning of a dramatic murmuration difficult to capture because their speed of flight. They have been congregating for the last three or four days.
