Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
Kerosene rates continue to rise with crude passing $56 dollars a barrel and suppliers now busy with autumn orders.
A quick tip, I recommend ordering when your tank level is 35% to 40% full. Apart from ensuring you do not run out before delivery, the other key reason is if your tank is virtually empty when fuel is added the sludge and water, which builds up over time at the bottom of the tank, will be stirred up and drawn into the system. This will cause issues. Suppliers are often blamed for suppling dirty fuel but in fact it’s often just the sludge and water in your tank. For more information, please login in and go to FAQ > Tank Care.
The rate and offer details for our clubs group orders for this weekend are as follows:
Rate: £0.3799 ( per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
This is it. When you come to the end of your lollipop all you have left is the stick! We can put the woods away until April next year. What will we find to do with all the time we have ? Now let me think?
Thursday League
Away – Hope Works – 14 September.
Having battled away last week and got a good win could the unthinkable happen and we manage to stay up in the top division? The chap who does all the admin on the league, bless him, only updates the results every year or two so we don’t know how we have done since last weeks match! However, as true Parwichians we would keep right on to the end of road even though we are tired and weary. I’m getting all emotional I must pull myself together. So, back to bowls, considering we were playing the top of the league, two of our doubles pairs performed as if we were top and not bottom. Because of holidays and injury Rick was playing twice and was joined in the game by Dot. They played their little socks off beating Hope’s top pair 21 – 14. Ian J and Harry B just would not give in and finally lost the game on the last end 20 – 21. Best not mention our third pair, but suffice it to say they did not win. After the doubles we were 12 points down.
Now Hope are like a lot of the top teams they usually only play with 9 players and not 12. This dear reader means that 3 of their players also play in the singles and of course the 3 who play twice are the best in the team! We of necessity were also one player short. Of the 6 games we won 4! with Keith and Rick winning against their two best players! The final outcome in the singles still meant we lost 74 – 75. Great effort. The final, final score was Hope 131, Parwich 118, which under normal circumstances would have had us doing cartwheels across the green. Well in our dreams anyway. Will we avoid the big drop? Don’t think so, but playing in the lower division suits us really. The people in the higher echelons take it too seriously. I will let you know.
Just as an aside we did finish fourth in the Tuesday league. Terrific result.
John B.

We have been asked by the Parish Council to publicise the next Village Maintenance Day which will be held on Sunday the 8th of October.
The particular tasks to be tackled will be discussed and planned at the next Parish Council Meeting on the 20th of September.
The Parish Council hopes that by giving advance notice, more people will be able to take part. Even if you can only give an hour or two you will be very welcome. The more people we have the more we can get done on the day.

We received a report yesterday that a Land Rover Defender 90 XS in Black of registration
YC65 HEV was stolen from a property in Flagg near Bakewell.
The vehicle was stolen some time between 2100 hours on 11th September and 0600 hours 12th September 2017.
The vehicle was fitted with one of the police discounted back2you trackers. We were initially able to make a link towards the South of the county, but unfortunately, as the tracker was not charged, we soon lost contact with it.
This alert is to respectfully serve as a reminder:
-It is worth purchasing a tracker for your farm/agricultural vehicle. We were able to initially make a link to an area.
-If you have purchased a tracker, please ensure that it is activated and regularly charged in the event of a theft to maximise our opportunities of recovery and identifying the offender(s)
-Thirdly, Land Rover Defenders and quad bikes are still being targeted by thieves. Please continue to think about security, considering good locks, CCTV, trackers, adequate lighting, alarms etcetera and also please keep reporting suspicious visitors to your farm premises or in the general area.
If you require any further help or advice, please contact the team either on 101 or via our dedicated rural crime team inbox: DRCT@derbyshire.pnn.police.uk
Together we can beat Rural Crime.
Many Thanks
The Rural Crime Team

Beer festival special offer from Derbyshire Connect bus service
Real ale-lovers travelling to Ashbourne beer festival are being offered a special fare on Derbyshire’s new, flexible bus service.
Derbyshire Connect is a bookable bus service rather than a conventional timetabled one. It takes passengers to and from their chosen pick-up points and destinations on their preferred days and times.
The beer festival takes place at Ashbourne Town Hall from 21 to 23 September 2017. Travellers to the festival will pay a special £1 single fare, instead of the usual £2, up to 7pm on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
Derbyshire Connect runs weekdays from 7am to 7pm and Saturdays 8am to 7pm. There is no Sunday service. It was launched on a 12-month trial basis in the Ashbourne and Wirksworth areas in February, as far north as Hartington.
The 15-seater bus is fully accessible for passengers in wheelchairs. It can also carry bikes for people who do not wish to make return trips.
Derbyshire Connect bookings can be made by emailing bookings@derbyshireconnect.org.uk or tel: 01335 342951.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
Last match in the Tuesday League and penultimate match in the Thursday League. Could we go out in a blaze of glory, or a whimper?
Tuesday League.
Home – 5 September – Chatsworth.
Really nice bunch of people play for Chatsworth so win or lose we would enjoy the games. Both Edith and Dawn were away so we had to have a bit of a scratch team. Tony playing with Clara got us of to a great start winning 21 – 9. Similarly Pat and Sue strolled home winners 21 – 15. You can probably have a guess what happened in the two remaining games. Well John B and Dot had been playing as though their lives depended on it, winning games at a canter for the past 3 or 4 weeks, not this week though. They spluttered and coughed their way to a defeat 12 – 21. Rick playing with Harry this week against Chatsworth’s best pair just lost by 5 points. The final score Parwich 70, Chatsworth 66. Not our most convincing win, but a win never the less. Before this last match were were lying in fourth place in the league and if my calculations are correct we should just about hold our own there.
Thursday League
Home – Whitworth Park – 7 September.
Another nice bunch of people to play against. They are considerably higher in the league than us, but then who isn’t. Things did not auger well as in two of our doubles games we only managed a combined score of 10 against 42! However Rick, having to play twice because of our lack players, playing with Audrey showed how it could be done and clawed back some of the deficit by winning 21 – 12. Parwich 31, Whitworth 54.
The singles was thankfully another story as we won 5 out of the 6 games and the sixth game we only just lost. Tony won 15 – 4, Keith 15 – 7, Pat B and Rick 15 – 8. The combined scores were Parwich 87, Whitworth 55. Although I am sure that we will be relegated we still managed a win 118 – 109. Last game of the season is against the team top in the league so that will definitely seal our fate.
Last match – Away – Hope Works – 14 September – 1.45pm
No Monday night play now. We will be putting the green to bed for the winter.

Extinct plant rediscovered in the Peak District National Park
A rare plant previously thought to be globally extinct has been rediscovered in the Peak District National Park.
Two small populations of the leek-coloured hawkweed, 62 plants in total, have been found flowering on the banks of the Monsal Trail, in Chee Dale.
Leek-coloured hawkweed flowers are yellow, similar to a dandelion but smaller. The plant gets its name because its leaves are the same chalky-green as the vegetable, leek.
The discovery of Hieracium subprasinifolium, to give the plant its botanical name, was made by Dr Tim Rich whilst collecting seeds for Kew’s Millennium Seed Bank.
Dr Rich said: “Leek-coloured Hawkweed has not been seen in Derbyshire for over 60 years and is thought to have died out at its only other known world site in Staffordshire a few years ago, so I was very, very pleased to find these two small but healthy populations growing near the Monsal Trail.

A few weeks ago I ran a poll on here to coincide with National Allotments Week
The poll attracted 30 responses (thank you all!) with 13 saying they would like to have an allotment in the village.
There were 2 comments that added some good information and ideas for thoses interested.
The Parish Council Clerk provided some valuable information for those interested in an allotment –
“If residents would like to rent an allotment they should write to the Parish Council. If six residents write to a Parish Council requesting provision of allotments the Council is required to formally assess the level of demand.”
Then this great suggestion came from Saskia T –
“I wondered whether a third option of a ‘Community Allotment’ should also be considered: i.e. a shared allotment that could be used by a group of residents who don’t have a veg plot and would share the produce. Other growers in the village could share excess seedlings and excess produce (especially runners beans and marrows…). And if there is enough space: a few fruit trees? Perhaps pie (or should that be ‘pumpkin’) in the sky? The suggestion originates from a visit to an amazing community allotment project in a small hamlet in Australia”
So in conclusion, anyone interested in allotments should write to the Parish Council.

Buxton Museum and Art Gallery launches Wonders of the Peak
A brand new gallery and digital experience is set to open at our Buxton Museum and Art Gallery.
