The Blog Team have great pleasure in introducing to you two new guest bloggers!
Firstly our gardening (in)expert Monty Who. You may have already seen his ramblings in the Two Feet Apart postings, writing as The Hauty Culturist.
Monty, by his own admission, is a sometimes keen but inexperienced gardener. He is happy to share what he learns and encourage others to share their knowledge. The driving force behind Monty is his wife, affectionately referred to as Mrs. Monty, the real source of Monty’s monthly job list and projects. Mrs. Monty is a wannabee racing tipster who has already tipped the Grand National winner here on the blog. Monty is still in the dog house for failing to put a bet on her tip (though he did back the winner at Uttoxeter in the Midlands National). Monty is often mistaken for his more illustrious gardening namesake but as can be seen from his picture here he can be easily recognised by his stylish and snappy dress.
Secondly, the newest member of the team, food and cookery expert Michelle N. Starr.
Michelle loves cooking and has a great knowledge of food and drink. In her monthly blog she will be introducing some of her favourite dishes using local and seasonal ingredients. Never afraid of controversy she will also be enticing feedback on the great issues that have occupied the finest culinary brains for centuries in her “Let’s have a (re)heated debate” section. Finally we will have the answers to questions such as brown sauce, red sauce? and baked – hot ot cold? Michelle is keen to try new recipes but as can be seen from her picture she does like to keep her favourite ingredients close at hand at all times.
Look out for Michelle’s first posting coming very soon and please welcome her to the team.
Both our new team members are hoping to get lots of advice and suggestions from blog readers so please feel free to add comments on their posts or send ideas into parwich@hotmail.co.uk

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

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]

These birds were hatched here in Parwich last August. The pure breed eggs were purchased and the cross breeds are from our own hens, which can be seen (as can their parents!).
Please contact Emma or Rob on 390203 or 07812 996851 if you are interested.

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.
