We have secured a rate and our clubs group oil order terms for this weekend are as follows:

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
You can tell that it’s the start of the bowls season because there are agonised brass monkeys all over the place. However, crown green bowlers are made of strong stuff and as we all know spring is just around the corner or is it at the end of the M1.
Tuesday League.
Away – Chatsworth – 11 April.
The winter as you know has been long and very wet and it was still doing it’s bit at Chatsworth. The chance to send a few practice woods down was not possible until Monday night. The Green at Parsons Croft was saturated as was Chatsworth’s. As you walked on the green the water welled up over your shoes and it was really cold. The games were shared two each with Pat and John B first on wishing they had stayed at home and watched the 500th repeat of the Wizard of Oz. They lost 7 – 21. Another married pair Sue and Tony A showed how it should be done and won 21 – 12. They must have a crown green in their loft to practice on. Captain Dawn joined this year by a new Club member, Frances, soon had us back on course on won at a canter 21 – 9. Final game Edith and Rick. You would put your house on them to win, however the weather or something they ate put the mockers on them and they lost 13 – 21. Final score Chatsworth 63, Parwich 62. Not a bad result in the scheme of things. Hopefully things can only get better as they say.
Next Match – Home – Bradwell – 17 March – 6.00pm.
Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Baslow – 12 April – 1.45pm
This league you may remember has 3 doubles games up to 21, and 6 singles games up to 15. I hope I am not tempting fate by saying the doubles pairs did us proud. Freezing cold soaking wet, boy did they play well. Dennis E and Audrey B led the way winning 21 – 8. This matched the unlucky Sue A and Liz H who played Baslow’s best pair, losing 8 -21. Clara E and Harry B put matters right by storming in 21 – 17. Parwich 50, Baslow 46.
We managed to win 4 of the 6 singles with Keith B winning 15 – 0. Other notable results were Tony A carrying on his Tuesday form winning 15 – 2. Edith sorted herself out from Tuesday and won 15 – 5. Our new member Frances, a really good acquisition on the transfer market romped home 15 – 6. Parwich 76, Baslow 43. Overall score Parwich 126, Baslow 92. What a start.
Next Match – Away – Bradwell – 19 April – 1.45pm.
We have three new members this year. Frances who has played before and the brown paper envelope handed over before the season started was worth every penny. Joy and Stuart have joined us to learn the game and of course to enjoy the good atmosphere you get on a bowls green. You too dear reader can also get this by being members. All you need is a pair of flat soled shoes, it is as easy as that!

An Inspirational Talk and Slideshow about
Cascades Gardens
From Jungle to Paradise
Thank you to everyone who attended last night’s talk at the village hall. Alan Clements’ inspiring story took the audience on a journey from meeting the Dala Lama in the mid-1990s, to purchasing Cascades House in Bonsall and creating a truly magical garden, based on the concepts of Zen meditation, mindfulness, and achieving inner peace and happiness. The Horticultural Society also enjoyed sharing plants and seeds following the talk with fellow members and guests exchanging garden goodies as well as purchasing plants from Alan’s nursery at Casades Garden.
Thank you Alan Clements for his time and dedication to horticulture.

Artists to showcase Derbyshire in open art competition
Artists are urged to get creative about Derbyshire’s life, landscapes and people in the annual Derbyshire Open Art Exhibition.
DCC’s competition is fast approaching its 36th year and is open to artists of all ages, professional and amateur. The judges ask that entrants use Derbyshire to inspire their submissions.
Artists should use their entries to show what does this county means to them. The work could be a Derbyshire landscape, a town or streetscape, local people, still life or representations of local stories. Artists can use most media, including oils, acrylics, watercolours, drawing, print, collage, manipulated digital imagery or three-dimensional work. Continue Reading »

Apart from Lester Lowes, does anyone know where we could get a bulk supply of bark / wood chippings relatively cheaply? It’s for the hen area so it doesn’t need to be top grade. If you can help please comment below, or call Rob and Emma (203 / 07812 996 851).

A Flood Alert has been issued by the Environment Agency.
Flood Alert in force: Upper Dove.
Flooding is possible for: Low-lying land and roads between Izaak Walton and Rocester on the River Dove and between Carsington Dam and Mayfield on the Henmore Brook.
Be prepared.
Watercourses within the Upper Dove catchment, including the Henmore Brook are rising in response to overnight and this morning’s rainfall. We will see that levels will continue to rise throughout this morning and may remain high for the remainder of today (Monday 2nd April). There may be flooding to low lying land and roads in the area. Remain vigilant as further rain is expected throughout today, which may lead to further flood risk. We will continue to monitor river levels in this location. At the time of this statement, no flooding of properties is expected and no warnings are expected to be issued. Take care near areas of concern and monitor your local weather conditions and the GOV.UK website.
To check the latest information for your area
* Visit the GOV.UK website to see the current flood warnings, view river and sea levels or check the 5-day flood risk forecast: https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/target-area/033WAF315
* Or call Floodline on 0345 988 1188 using quickdial code: 208015.
* Follow @EnvAgency and #floodaware on Twitter.
* Tune into weather, news and travel bulletins on local television and radio.
What you should consider doing now
* Monitor local water levels and weather conditions.
* Get ready to act on your flood plan if you have one.
* Move your car or other vehicles to higher ground, if it is safe to do so.
* Prepare a flood kit of essential items including a torch with spare batteries, mobile phone and charger, warm clothes, home insurance documents, water, food, first aid kit and any prescription medicines or baby care items you may need.
* Check that you know how to turn off your gas, electricity and water mains supplies.
* In rural locations, farmers should consider moving livestock and equipment away from areas likely to flood.
* Avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. 30 cm of fast-flowing water can move a car and 6 inches can knock an adult off their feet.
* Flood water is dangerous and may be polluted. Wash your hands thoroughly if you’ve been in contact with it.
