Did anyone see tonight’s upside down rainbow? It started with three points of light with the rainbow only visible to the naked eye through tinted glass. Then the upside down rainbow lasted for over 45 minutes!

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
Its the silly season as far as Parwich Bowls Club is concerned as people start going on holiday for some reason. Always a problem because of our tiny membership. However certain individuals play unexpectedly blinding games of bowls!
Tuesday League.
Home – Ashwood Park – 8 May – 6.00pm
We always have close matches against Ashwood and it’s hard to know why because they are such nice folk! We shared the games two each. Dennis and Clara came up against a really good pair and unfortunately came second. The magic married pair Tony and Sue A also came unstuck. I think they were too concerned with catching their flight early next morning to the Costa Packet. For once Pat and John B sorted themselves out and stormed to a 21 – 6 win. Rick without his faithful sidekick Edith played with Harry B. Harry at times can be so consistent it’s annoying. Anyway they got us our second win 21 – 16. When all the arithmetic had been done we lost the match by one point! Parwich 63, Ashwood 64.
Next Match – Away – Matlock Bath – 15 May – 6.00pm.
Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Bakewell – 10 May – 1.45pm.
At one point it seemed that we might be penalised for having less than 9 players, but people appeared from behind hedges and rocks and we finished up with 10.
Frances W and Harry B plucked victory from the jaws of defeat with a 21 – 17 win. At one point they were 17 – 5 down. What a comeback. John H and Keith B also did us proud winning in style 21 – 6. Although Clara and Dennis played well they unfortunately lost 21 – 6. Not the end of the world however as we were leading 54 – 44.
Now there are people who are great and there are other people who have greatness thrust upon them. Two members who do not normally play singles had, because of our shortage of players, to play in the singles. And play they did! I cannot recall Audrey B ever playing a singles, but what a game. Talk about hide your light under a bowls mat, Audrey stormed to victory 15 – 9. Pat B dashing back from a meeting in Buxton played her little socks off winning 15 – 11 against one of Bakewell’s star players. Astonishing. So with this brave and faithful few we finished up Parwich 74, Bakewell 75. If at the start of the games you said that would be the outcome, you would, as they say, have taken their hand off. Final result Parwich 128, Bakewell 119. Enjoy your holidays!
Next Match – Home – Wirksworth – 17 May – 1.45pm.
p.s. Don’t forget Stuart to get there by 1.00 ish.

We have received the following from DCC which may be of interest to a number of groups in the village:
We’ve launched our Action Grants scheme and groups, clubs, local charities and other non-profit organisations working in communities across the county can download the online application pack.
Our leader, Councillor Barry Lewis, said:
“Over the next two years there will be 2,000 grants of up to £500 on offer to help groups fund projects and events which will benefit their local communities.
“Whether it is to organise a village fete, pay for a youth club activity or to help promote exercise and sport, we’re inviting people who are active in their community to apply.
“Just a little financial help can make all the difference between being able to provide a much-needed local activity or not. If we can help make it happen then it could create a lasting legacy of enjoyment and participation across in communities across Derbyshire.”
The themes of the grants are:
Youth activity
Community safety
Community activity
Physical activity and sport
If a group’s planned project is based on any of those themes, the online application pack will let organisers know what they can and can’t apply for.Decisions on grant applications will be made after regular application round deadlines.
The first deadline is 30 June 2018, so groups hoping to get funding for schemes in the school summer holidays are advised to apply before that date.
We’re also inviting applications for a limited number of medium grants of up to £5,000 and larger grants of up to £10,000 for projects which can have clear local support and will provide a lasting benefit for a Derbyshire community.
The full criteria for these grants is also in the application pack.
Applications for medium and larger grants will be considered annually, with the first deadline also 30 June 2018.
The Action Grants scheme will run until 31 May 2020.

In preparation for discussion about Pump Hill at the Parish Annual meeting on the 16th of May residents may wish to visit the site at around midday on Sunday the 13th of May during the Village Maintenance Day. The Clerk will be present to either answer or note questions and to record your views.
It is hoped that this will give people an opportunity to think about how they would like the area to be used and maintained in the future.
