Police have thanked the public for their help after their pleas for information led to the arrest of two suspects.
A rural crime alert was sent to residents about a white van seen in the Brassington area which was believed to have been involved in the theft of a quantity of lead from a farm. (This was posted on Parwich.Org on 19 May)
Following the appeal, members of the public came forward with information confirming the identity of van and descriptions of the suspected offenders. Police arrested two suspects within minutes of the message going out.
Police and Crime Commissioner Hardyal Dhindsa was responsible for reinstating the Alert messaging system after his election last year.
He said: “This latest success shows how important the Derbyshire Alert system is to gather intelligence and ultimately detect crime.
“I would like to thank the public for their continuing response to the information appeals we issue. Thousands of people have registered with the site since the end of September and the facility is already proving its weight in gold as a crime prevention service.”
One of those who came forward with information that led to the arrest, congratulated the team saying: “Well done, it’s very satisfying to know the system is working for us all.”

Ok so I was working through the list of seasonal foodstuffs and possible recipes and thought I should cut to the chase and get to the best bit first – the drinks!
Following on from the success of my Rhubarb Mojito here’s a couple more ideas incorporating seasonal, locally available ingredients. These will be ideal alongside the mojito for those entertaining during Open Gardens.
Elderflower Cocktail
Ingredients
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 30ml of gin
- Prosecco
- elderflower cordial
- ice
Method
- Fill a cocktail,or wine glass with ice. Add the lemon and lime juice, the gin, then a good splash of elderflower cordial
- Fill the rest of the glass with Prosecco then have a taste (you want about 2/3 Prosecco to 1/3 everything else)
- Add more elderflower if it’s too tart for you. Garnish with a few berries or a few slices of strawberries
Of course at this time of year you can make your own elderflower cordial as the Elderflowers are blooming everywhere around the area.
Strawberry Lemonade
Ingredients
- 300g (10oz) hulled strawberries
- 300g (10oz) caster sugar
- Juice 5 lemons
- Still or sparkling mineral water, to dilute
- Sliced limes and strawberries, and sprigs of mint, to serve
Method
- Put the hulled strawberries, caster sugar and lemon juice into a blender and pulse until smooth.
- Strain the mixture through a sieve into a large bowl and stir thoroughly to ensure all the sugar dissolves.
- You can transfer the cordial to a large bottle or storage container until needed.
- Dilute with still or sparkling water (about 1 part cordial to 4 parts water) and serve with ice, lime and strawberry slices and sprigs of mint.
and the best bit – If you fancy making it into a cocktail, simply add vodka to taste!
Stay tuned for some recommendations of seasonal foods and recipes

A home needs to be found for Billy, a black and white cat who is currently in the care of Cheadle Animal Welfare Society.. He doesn’t like being cooped up in a pen while a home is found for him as he loves the outdoors. Billy is very much an independent cat, preferring his own company. He doesn’t want to be fussed, he just wants to be left alone to do what he wants to do when he wants to do it. He needs a home where he can be looked after but live outside with a dry safe place to sleep and eat. It needs to be a home where there are no children or other cats and most importantly one which is in the country. Billy is microchipped and neutered. Anybody interested in finding out more about Billy can ring 01335 390369 or email cheadleanimalwelfare@hotmail.co.uk

UPDATE: Billy has now been rehomed

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
I suppose you have to be careful what you wish for. There’s losing, there’s losing badly, and then there is capitulating and no money changed hands, honest! At least we got back into winning ways in one league.
Tuesday League.
June 6 – Home – Matlock Bath.
If somebody had said that it had been November 5 the previous night there would not have been any disagreement. It was pretty cold wet and miserable. To cap it all we lost really well, which was no bad thing really. We did have one astounding win with Pat and John B scoring 21 – 0. Edith and Rick also played their usual game, but they did have to come from behind to win 21 – 20. Unfortunately our other two pairs were well beaten. The final score was Parwich 56, Matlock Bath 62. To rub an enormous amount of salt into our already large sores we had 10 points deducted by Godzilla, our league secretary, because we made a tiny error in the date on the score sheet. It also meant that our opponents also had to suffer a 10 point reduction. Such is life on a Crown Green! Next week we play the top of the league and we have 4 players on holiday. Oh ‘eck!
Next Match – Ashwood Park – Away – 13 June 6.30pm.
Thursday League
June 8 – Home – Tideswell
For the first time this year we had more than 12 people who wanted to play! Bear in mind we only have 16 members all told. Tideswell were just one place ahead of us in the league with a lead of 21 points.
Our new member, Keith B played with Audrey B in the doubles and had a convincing win 21 – 10. Dennis E and Liz H also fought hard to just lose 19 – 21. Ian J playing with Dot H in the third game ricked his back very badly early on, but kept battling and they came a very creditable second. After the doubles the score was Parwich 51, Tideswell 52.
As you devotees of this scintillating editorial will know the doubles are followed by 6 singles games. We did very well with Edith and Rick each winning their respective games to 3 and 4. Only one loss here and that was by just 3 points. The singles gave us 87 to Tideswell 49. The final score Parwich 138, Tideswell 101. The 31 point win means that we will go just above them in the league.
Next match – Away – Whitworth Park – 15 June – 1.45pm.
John B.

We have received this from Andrew, the Parish Council Clerk.
The Parish Council recently asked for views about the use of the public toilets at Parson’s Croft. Based on the responses and subsequent discussion the following was minuted:
No interest had been shown in using public funds to keep them open on a regular basis.
Resolved: That the toilets can generally be made available for use by village groups as required on the basis that they will leave them as they would wish to find them.
Resolved: That regular users shall have their own keys for this purpose. Currently the School and Bowls Club who have keys and the Football Club who need keys cut.
Resolved: That for occasional use, e.g. caravan meetings, the toilets will be opened by one of the Parish Council key holders.
So if you would like the toilets to be opened please contact the Parish Clerk.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
We have managed to stop the rot in the Thursday League as we lost really well. Our good winning streak has thankfully come to an end. Money is going to have to change hands in the Tuesday League as we are second, but have played one match fewer than the top team and keep on winning. It has to stop.
Tuesday League
May 30 – Away – Whitworth Park.
Now Pat B is playing like she owns any green she plays on and at Whitworth Park she did the business whilst holding John B’s hand. The pair of them scared the opposition to death and romped home 21 – 3. What a start. Rick and Edith also battled through to win 21 – 17. Although we lost the other two games we did score a good lot of points in doing so. The final result was Parwich 75, Whitworth 62. So when we play next week we will have to pay an umpire to doctor the score.
Playing on the 50p green next week.
Next Match – Matlock Bath – Home – 6 June 6.30pm.
Thursday League
June 1 – Away – Matlock Park.
Having been playing too well in the League, apart from the weather, we had quite a few wheels fall off. In the doubles apart from Pat B. (Her again) and Liz H who put together a spirited game to lose 16 – 21, we had best not mention our other two pairs, but after the doubles we were 29 – 63 down.
We did not play a lot better in the singles apart from Dawn A. She played like a professional to win 15 – 0. Here’s a turn-up for the team, we had a new member join the Club and he can play bowls. Keith B put together a load of shots to win 15 – 7. The closest we got next was John B who finished second losing 14 – 15. The final score for singles was a loss 66 – 67. The overall result was more in keeping with our Thursday matches Matlock 130, Parwich 95. First time for a long time we did not get 100. It’s about time we lost well anyway.
Tough home match next week against a strong Club.
Next match – Home – Tideswell – 15 June – 1.45pm.
John B.
