Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
The U.S. and China appear to be making progress on trade talks ahead of the G20 meeting, coupled with the ongoing Iran conflict could send oil prices higher. Added to this, OPEC+ meet on the 2nd July amid expectations the Output Cut Agreement will be extended. Brent Crude is currently heading for $66 a barrel. Delivery times are 5 to 10 working days.
TIP: By grouping your club’s order, the chosen supplier will visit your village with a full load and leave with an empty load, substantially reducing the numerous heavy goods vehicles that would normally drive through your village, thus reducing the impact on our roads and the environment. A club with 100 members will save hundreds of tanker vehicle trips though your village each year.
Rate: £0.4659 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

Parwich Bowls Club
Amazingly we are already half way through the bowls season and on Thursday this week we actually experienced our first taste of the summer when we played away at Baslow; a glorious day on a very large green. Our bowling ability though was not quite up to the same standard as the weather, losing all 3 doubles games, however, John and Liz lost by only 1 point, 20-21. Tony, Keith, Dawn and John all won their singles games but the margin was not enough to overcome the doubles results. We lost the match 110-127.
Tuesday evening’s game at Bradwell also resulted in a defeat by 3 games to 1, only Rick and Edith managing a win, the less said about the other games the better – the match score finished 60-81 in Bradwell’s favour.
So at the half way point in the season we lie 3rd from bottom in Division 1 of the Thursday League and in 2nd position in the 2nd Division of the Tuesday League. Not a bad performance considering the limited number of available players.

We will be updating the Parwich.org Diary page over the weekend, so if you have any Alsop, Ballidon, Parwich or Pikehall events (July, August & September) that you want to go in the Diary in time to be included in the Peak Five Church Magazine’s July/August issue please send them in by Monday (24th June). Note, this is a double issue so there will not be another issue until September.
Including our Diary in the Church magazine is important as it helps you reach some of those who are not on-line.
Please send Diary information to parwich@hotmail.co.uk or leave me a message on tel. 287.
Thank you, Peter
