July 2018 – The Millenium pond has completely dried up, the photo compares the pond to this time last year. Not good timing for the Baby Moorhens who are currently on the pond finding what few puddles there are.
Who has picked blackberries before in July?!

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
Still hanging in there in the Thursday League, but the wheels are well and truly falling off in the Tuesday League. The ‘greens’, as you will be aware, are slicker than ever.
Tuesday League.
Home – Hope Works – 17 July – 6.00pm
Hope works are third in the division and we are/were second. After this evenings attempts we are going to drop like a stone, only one win out of the four games. Dennis and Clara E did us proud though, even though they lost. At one point they were 15 – 5 down, but fought back to only lose by the odd point 20 – 21. Tony and Harry also came close, but lost 16 – 21. Best not mention Sue and Dot except to say, try as they might they could not get to grips with the lightening fast conditions. Thankfully Edith’s fractured left eye lash has heeled sufficiently for her to partner the long suffering Rick. They played Hope’s best pair and won 21 – 16. The final outcome, however, was never in doubt and we lost 62 – 79. Wonder how far this defeat will drop us down the league? Another tricky match next week.
Next match – Away – Ashwood Park – 24 July – 6.00pm
Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Whitworth Park – 19 July – 1.45pm.
Whitworth Park have got to be one of the friendliest clubs in the league. It’s good to play them, win, lose, or draw. No losses or draws today however, with a clean sweep in the doubles games. Dennis E and Liz H winning in great style 21 – 9. Followed closely by Clara E and Sue A 21 – 11, and Ian J, partnered by the rejuvenated Edith, 21 -14. Parwich 63, Whitworth 34. What a good start to the match.
Although we shared the singles game 3 each, our losing players still scored heavily. Dawn A following on from the unmentionable last week, won handsomely 15 – 4, the score being matched by John B. Our other winner was John H who at one point was 9 – 2 down, but came back to win 15 – 10. All in all good results Parwich 80, Whitworth 63. Final score Parwich 143, Whitworth 97. We were third or fourth in the division so this should help us stay somewhere near.
Next Match – Away – Bakewell – 26 July – 1.45pm.
We have got a friendly game against Hazelwood on Sunday, so if you want to see what it’s like to play on an ‘ice rink’ come and have a look – 2.pm

To parents and children of Friday football, and other helpful villagers
I was wondering if you can spare a maximum of an hour to help repair the Parsons Croft Football area.
You may have seen previously reported on the blog that due to the dry weather the lines on the football pitch have cracked and opened up making the pitch a little unsafe. Thankfully Peter Trewitt has provided us with approx.. 600kg of fine soil (free of charge… thank you Peter!) to fill in the affected areas. I was hoping for some help doing this.
We will be on the football pitch between 7pm – 8pm this Wednesday evening (18th July). Small trowels, small spades and buckets are all that are required.
Note: If you have any spare bags of sand or soil hidden at the back of your garage feel free to bring this down as I am not sure that 600kg’s of soil is enough. Smaller children can also help.
We understand that eventually the cracks should close together naturally, but this may take many months, so to help speed up the process we are giving the land a helping hand.
Thank you for your continued support, hope to see you Wednesday.
Jason

Update: A new home has now been found for this puppy
Home urgently needed for our beautiful KC registered Apricot standard poodle boy – currently 13 weeks old.
We are reluctantly selling our beautiful Apricot standard poodle boy which we purchased from a registered breeder only last weekend. Unfortunately our son has turned out to be allergic to the puppy so we are left with the sad realisation that the puppy has to go.
The puppy has such a wonderful loving, playful nature and behaves superbly with our son.
He is KC registered, microchipped and all of his vaccinations are up to date.
**Included in the sale if you so wish: Wicker basket with cushion and blanket, dog crate, large selection of toys, water and food bowl, lead and collar – all brand new. **
Please contact Chloe/James on 01335 390175 for more information.

Tonight will be the last Friday football until the back end of the summer holidays. James and I are going to take a short break from football and recharge our batteries.
Can everyone be aware that due to the amazing weather we have recently had, the lines around the football pitch have dried, cracked and opened up. These cracks present a trip hazard to people using the pitch or walking across the area. I have discussed the matter with the council and have experimented using sand to fill in the cracks, but we are not sure how successful this will be. The issue will be discussed at the next council meeting to see what options we can consider (all suggestions welcome).
Please be reminded that children (and adults) play on the football pitch at their own risk. I will remind the children of these potential hazards before we start.
Kind regards
Jason

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
Greens are still as slick as ever and we are not coping very well at all. For some reason we start the bowls season really well, but then drop off like the proverbial stone as the season progresses. This year the pattern is sadly being repeated.
Tuesday League.
Away – Chatsworth – 10 July – 6.00pm
Even when clubs are have their own automatic watering systems the sunny weather has been so intense that ‘greens’ are no more. Try as we might we could not get to grips with the Chatsworth green. At least we got to double figures, just. Captain Dawn back playing with Frances showed us all how it should be done by winning 21 – 9. This was our only win in what turned out to be the heaviest defeat of the year so far. Pat and John B were our next best pair and they could only manage to lose 12 – 21. Even our redoubtable combo of Edith and Rick lost. Let us hope that, not only for our gardens and fields sake, we get some rain soon to spike up the greens. Chatsworth 72, Parwich 55.
Next match – Home – Hope – 17 July – 6.00pm
Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Youlgrave – 12 July – 1.45pm.
Now dear knowledgable reader you will know all about the items buried under their green, but when they are coupled with no grass we would have been better playing on the tennis hard courts next door. Our pairs teams did well on the treacherous ground, but only managed one win. Audrey and Clara winning 21 – 15. Both Dennis and Dot and Liz and Ian lost 14 – 21. Youlgrave 57, Parwich 49.
The singles games were shared 3 apiece. Edith had already said that she could not play because she had a badly fractured left eye-lash! What a smart move that was. Keith B did at least give us all a lesson on how to play on on the surface winning 15 – 9. Frances and John B also just about managing wins. We won’t mention how Dawn got on though. Youlgrave 77, Parwich 73. Overall Youlgrave 134, Parwich 122, not a bad result in the scheme of things.
Just think that by this time next week the World Cup will be over, as will Wimbledon, and the school holidays will be looming large!
Next Match – Home – Whitworth – 19 July – 1.45pm.
John B.

We have had the following request from Vicky T:
Has anybody in the village who owns chickens possibly have any form of Flubenvet I could borrow please, whether it be mixed in with layer pellets or just on it’s own. I am unable to get out the village due to a broken wrist, I have ordered some but will take a few days to arrive and would like to start one of my hens on it immediately.Thank you in advance

I’ve seen this pair wandering round the village since Monday and they have just been spotted trying to get to the veg in my garden. I suggest the owner rounds them up because if they’re try it again, they’re likely to be joining it on my plate!
Thank youCheryl

Thank you to all who bought plants last week, just over £50 went to the Carnival & Recreation Committee. This week proceeds will go to Parwich Church. There are still a range of herbaceous plants, shrubs, kitchen garden plants and others, including a large forsythia and a large dogwood which has bright red stems in winter.
If no one is about help yourself to the plants at the gate for Church Farm in Creamery Lane and leave what you think is a fair price in the honesty box. Everything must go.

It’s the end of another very hot, sunny and successful Wakes. We hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did. We really want to keep these events going and we can’t do it without you so a big THANK YOU from the Carnival and Recreation Committee to everyone who helped out and joined in. Especially those who gave up so much of their spare time to keep everything going – you know who you are.
If you have any suggestions for next Wakes or a village event please get in touch with us at lucywigley@googlemail.com. We would also really like new members to join our small Committee so if you are interested just drop me an email or have a chat with one of the Committee members.
Here’s till next time…..

We have received the following from the Parish Council
At the least Parish Council meeting the purchase of a new climbing frame was approved and the order has been placed.
During Wakes week it was brought to the Council’s attention that the proposed location affected the access to parts of the green for funfair rides this year.
The proposed location provided ample width to pass between the climbing frame and the brook. However the operators of the funfair were concerned that this route might be over ground which sloped too much for their vehicles to pass safely.
The suppliers of the climbing frame have very kindly offered an alternative layout which would overcome this problem. The play elements incorporated in the modular design of the climbing frame are exactly the same.
In order that the Council can formally choose one of the layouts, or consider other ideas, an extraordinary meeting will be held on the green at 7:30 on Thursday 12th July.
As with all Parish Council meetings members of the public are welcome.
Further information is available by using these links.
