Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
A resurgent US shale industry and concerns over the stability of Russian/OPEC deal pushes Brent crude to its lowest level since November. We are seeing some very good rates this weekend so maybe a good time to check your tank and recommend a friend too!
The rate and offer details for our clubs group orders for this weekend are as follows:
Rate: £0.3640 ( per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

We have received this from the Parish Council. This one looks to be even closer to the school than the previous mast proposal.
The Parish Council has recently been approached for comments regarding a new proposed mobile phone base station to be located on private land at Brook Close Farm.
Whilst the Parish Council has been approached for comment, we do not have the power to either accept or reject the latest proposal. Likewise, should planning consent be sought from the Peak District National Park then the Parish Council will again be asked to comment but will not be able to make the decision.
The Parish Council’s response will be discussed at the Parish Council at 7.00pm on the 17th May 2017.
There is no financial benefit for the village from this proposal.
The correspondence received can be seen on the Parish Council’s website here

Guidelines for Helpers of the Spring Village Clean-up 2017
Tasks involve: Cleaning inside and painting the pavilion, clearing the path to the pavilion, clearing the area of land (mainly brambles) surrounding the hard courts, etc
This brief guide explains the key Health & Safety points taken from the risk assessment, which is available on the Parwich Parish Council website.
* Volunteers take part at their own risk
* Children are very welcome, but only with permission from their parent. Under 9’s are expected to be accompanied by a parent
* Volunteers to wear suitable clothing for the tasks and the weather conditions. Sturdy and appropriate footwear (wellington boots) and strong gloves
* It is helpful if volunteers bring their own tools, such as wheel barrows, rakes, spades, forks and step ladders. Please ensure these tools and equipment are in a suitable state of repair so that they do not cause injury to yourself or others
* Only use tools and step ladders if you feel competent and safe to do so
* Some volunteers may be painting the pavilion. Work clothes, eye protection and gloves are advised for this task. We will be using Wickes Creocote, which can cause skin irritation and is potentially harmful if this comes into contact with your eyes
* If you come into direct contact with dog faeces please wash your hands immediately as this can cause Toxocariasis (blindness) in young children
* During the activity please make the organisers (Parish Councillors / Clerk) aware of any Health & Safety concerns that you encounter
* Please take extra care of site traffic (dumpster and tipper vehicles)
* Power tools should not be used by anyone who is not suitably competent
* Look out for the safety of yourselves and others (especially children)
* During the event refreshments will be provided at the Pavilion. Please ensure you wash your hands well before handling and consuming food

The Legion will be offering an arrangement with local takeaways for delivery to Parwich once a month, alternating Indian with Chinese.
Next week we will do a group order to Red Chilli in Ashbourne – their food is very tasty and they have different levels of spiciness from not to hot! Click here to link to their menu, or call in to the Legion where there are menus to pick up and order forms.
Please place your order, with payment, at the Legion by 8.30 pm on Tuesday 9th May.
Your meal will be delivered to the Legion on Wednesday 10th May at 7.30 pm.
You can either collect your meal and take it home, or stay and eat with us with an Indian beer or your usual tipple. Please indicate when you place your order if you want to eat in, so we can ensure we set out enough tables.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
Having needed to be dolled up like Nanook of the North last week the weather made playing really good. The top side was that we also won! The downside was that yet again we only had the bare minimum of players, 9. Not by choice I would point out but of necessity. 7 of our 16 members could not play, not because they did not want to, but illness, accidents, or holidays had made them unavailable. It is really becoming almost embarrassing when we play on a Thursday. We turn up with 9 players to a Club which has 70+ members. To adjust an old call ‘ YOUR BOWLS CLUB NEEDS YOU!!’ Having had a membership rant we only had one match this week. Because there are only 11 teams in the Tuesday League we play in we had a blank week.
Tuesday League
May 2 – Blank week.
Next Match – Bakewell – Home – 9 May 6.30pm.
Thursday League.
May 4 – Away – Hathersage
You see you people who sit at home twiddling your thumbs wondering what you have got to do next, could be sitting in what has got to be one of the best, if not thee best, settings in the Peak District, and to cap it all you could be playing Crown Green Bowls! The vista from the green at Hathersage is awesome. It is worth the membership fee just to look at it. If in addition you have got a few really good, I mean really really good, players then heaven is a place on earth!
Three players on our side had to play twice because of our lack of numbers. In the doubles Dot and Tony A got us off to a good start winning 21 – 15, matched by Ian J and Rick. Ian played particularly well. Although they did not win, Sue A and Edith still only just lost 21 – 16. After the doubles we were ahead, 58 – 51.
The 6 singles games were shared 3 each. Dawn A polishing the Blue Meanies to perfection winning 15 – 5. Even John B managed to get in on the act with a 15 – 7 win. Rick having played a blinder in the doubles, playing with what he calls his red and white striped ‘Blackpool Rock’ woods, also gave us a win 15 – 12. The other games also provided us some valuable points even though our players lost. The result of the singles in the end could not have been closer, Parwich 70, Hathersage 69.
Having sat in a splendid place the cake was liberally iced with a win for Parwich 128 – 120.
Next match – Home – Bradwell – 11 May – 1.45pm.
We are playing one of our friendly matches this Sunday at Hazelwood. You don’t know what you are missing.
COME AND JOIN US – WE NEED YOU – ( DESPERATELY ).
John B.

We’ve been living at the Vicarage for the last few months, but sadly we’ll be moving out in June (the Diocese want to sell).
But we just wanted to say how welcome lots of people in the village have made us feel.
And to tell you (though you all knew it anyway) just what a fantastic place Parwich is.
We’re not going just yet – but whilst we’ve been here we’ve been busy setting up a travel company.
Don’t worry, this isn’t a sales pitch – it’s aimed at people from abroad travelling to the UK.
But here’s a little blog that I’ve written that you might want to point people to.
I suppose it’s a bit of a love-letter to some of the land here-abouts.
Hope you like (but don’t worry if you don’t’).
With best wishes

I still have a five cockerels available to good homes, including:
2 x araucanas
3 x cross breeds – 50% Cotsworld legbar (blue egg layers, like a cream legbar), 25% light sussex and 25% speckled sussex
1 x copper black French Maran [SOLD]
1 x copper blue French Maran [SOLD]

We have received this from Andrew Martin, the Parish Council Clerk –
The Parish Council is grateful for work recently done by the Bowls Club to repair and refurbish the toilets at Parson’s Croft.
In recent times the toilets have been opened only for Bowls matches and on a limited number of special occasions. The Bowls club have serviced them for this level of use on a voluntary basis.
The Parish Council would like to gauge the level of interest in having them open on a more regular basis. In order to do this volunteers and/or money would be needed to have them locked and unlocked and serviced more frequently.
The willingness of the Parish Council to contribute public money for this may be influenced by the level of support for regular opening.
Note that the toilets would remain closed during the winter anyway as there is no heating and the water has to be drained to prevent damage from freezing.
Feedback on any of the following points would be most helpful.
* Would you be interested in seeing the toilets open on a more regular basis?
* Are there any times when you would find this particularly useful?
* Would you be able to provide voluntary support for more regular opening?
* Would you be able to provide financial support for more regular opening?
* Any other comments?
Responses from individuals or organisations would be very welcome. You can either leave comments on the blog or e-mail the Clerk on clerk@parwichparishcouncil.org.uk. clerk@parwichparishcouncil.org.uk
Any comments received will be considered at a future meeting.

LA LA LAND
Winner of 6 Oscars, rated one of the best films of the year, La La Land needs no introduction.
Mia (Emma Stone), an aspiring actress, serves lattes to movie stars in between auditions, and Sebastian (Ryan Gosling), a dedicated jazz musician, scrapes by playing cocktail piano gigs in dingy bars, but as success mounts they are faced with decisions that begin to fray the fragile fabric of their love affair, and the dreams they worked so hard to maintain in each other threaten to rip them apart.

We are looking for parents, governors, friends of the school, well anyone willing to spare us some time!!!We would love it if you could come to school on Tuesday 2nd May at 3.30pm and give the school gardening club a helping hand for 1 hour.
The borders are full of winter weeds and need to be cleared before we can get to the fun part of planting with the children.
We have plenty of equipment, so just turn up, bring a few other family and friends with you and get stuck in.
Many thanks in hopeful anticipation.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
We had a really good Club game last Saturday, the mixed doubles competition. After some close matches the Dawn and Rick pairing came out on top. Congratulations. The weekly matches provided some close and some not so close games. The one pervading aspect however was the weather. It was freezing, brass monkeys flying round all over the place.
Tuesday League
April 25 – Home – Whitworth Park.
After a couple of matches Whitworth were riding high in the league. The evening was absolutely freezing and you needed to keep moving to stop frost bite setting in, but your team are made of strong stuff! Dawn and Sue A got us off to a great start winning 21 – 10, at the same time Pat B and Harry B were doing even better winning 21 – 7. Inevitably Rick and Edith kept up their usual standard with a 21 – 10 win. What a pair. Last but by no means least Tony and John B fought off their opponents to win 21 – 18. Only very occasionally do you manage to win all four games and in our case once a season if you are lucky. Overall the final score was Parwich 84, Whitworth 45. After three matches we are second in the division, it’s all downhill from here.
Because there are only 11 teams in the division we have a blank week next week. Watch out for us the week after.
Next Match – Bakewell – Home – 9 May 6.30pm.
Thursday League
April 27 – Away – Baslow.
The league had decided last year to impose penalties on teams who fielded less than 9 players in matches, deducting 25 points for each player less than 9. Now bearing in mind we only have 16 members, this week 4 people were away, One has a broken wrist, another a very bad back and finally another with a more urgent appointment. Now you maths graduates will have concluded 16 take way 7 makes us on the cusp of losing points before we begin. However your trusty team battled through freezing temperatures and biting winds. Two great wins in the doubles, Dawn and Pat B streaking (not literally, it was too cold) home 21 – 7 and Harry B and Rick winning equally impressively 21 – 12. With the 14 points won by our third pair we were leading 56 – 40 after the doubles.
So having got us off to a great, if somewhat unexpected, start we would romp away, as usual in the singles. Whoops, the opposition forgot to read the script, we lost in the singles! Thankfully we did have a couple of good wins via Dawn and Rick, and others, although losing, got close. The final singles score 80 to Baslow, 68 to Parwich. We still just won by 124 – 120. What an effort by the brave, but frozen, few!
Next match – Away – Hathersage – 4 May – 1.45pm.
John B.

Following a recently reported case of Livestock worrying in the Derbyshire Dales area the owner and dog have been identified and the dog destroyed. The dog in question killed one sheep and injured 3 others.
We take matters of livestock worrying seriously and understand the financial impact this can have, especially at this time of year. Although we accept it can be difficult to identify the dogs and their owners please still report it to the police, the above proves positive results can be achieved. This will only assist in promoting the issue and hopefully lead to greater awareness amongst dog owners.
Please report any cases of livestock worrying via 101 or alternatively if you have any information relating to livestock worrying or any other rural matters please e-mail DRCT@derbyshire.pnn.police.uk.
Regards
Derbyshire Rural Crime Team

Anyone else seeing flaky BT broadband service? Over the past couple of weeks or so, I’ve seen around 10 or so short periods of zero internet connectivity here at Alsop, but this afternoon topped the lot at around four hours total. BT claim all is well.

No. 3 April 2017
It’s great to see Big Bill back at the helm at Leatherbritches. Mrs. Monty and I called in to pick up a few plants and found Bill in top form. Our quick stop took an hour and a half (boy can Bill talk, 🙂 ) and we came away loaded with a great selection of plants not to mention some great tips on dealing with slugs and snails. This involved vaseline, garlic and copious amounts of boiling water so probably best not to go into details here!
For this month’s project, plant of the month and garden jobs, Continue Reading »
