PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
If you think that things are tight at the top you should see what is happening in the riveting world of bowls, you couldn’t make it up if you tried. Can we make it to third in the league, will we finish top of the league the permutations are too endlessly wondrous to contemplate!
Matlock Tuesday League.
Away – Chatsworth – 30 August – 6.00pm.
Chatsworth are second bottom of the league and us only 7 points from third, piece of cake. My dad always told me there was no such thing as a certainty, how right he was. The wonderful Edith and Rick, fresh from their magnificent win in the 2016 Tarmac Trophy tournament, were our only winners, 21 – 10. I keep telling you they are good. Harry B and Sue A came up short by the smallest of margins, losing 20 – 21. Dawn A and Tony A also more than held their own losing by 21 – 17. With a further loss in the last game the result was Chatsworth 73, Parwich 70. Not sure if 70 points will even be enough to keep us in sixth place, let alone push us up a place or two. Only one more match left to see if we can climb up a bit. As only the first two get promoted to the higher division our chance are slim, but we are still battling on.
- LAST MATCH – Home – Ashwood Park – 6 September – 5.45pm.
Matlock Thursday League.
With last week’s match a wash out we had to play twice this week, could we cope with the pressure!
Away – Bradwell – 31 August – 1.45.
We needed to get off to a good start in order to keep us in second place in the league. Unfortunately we conspired to lose all three doubles very well, Bradwell 63, Parwich 37. Could the singles get us out of the hole we managed to fall in, you bet they could. We won 5 out of the 6 games and only lost the sixth by three points, Bradwell 67, Parwich 87. Again you need your calculators handy to work out that this was not quite enough to win. Final score Bradwell 130, Parwich 124.The top of the league, Bakewell, were now 56 points ahead of us. Our next opponents, Bakewell!!
Home – Bakewell – 1 September – 1.45.
Keep telling you, you should have been there; you could have cut the tension with a knife. Because of injuries and holidays we only had ten players. Inspired captaincy in selecting who should play which games was needed and who was to play twice. Did I tell you our captain, Tony A, is inspired? Not only did we win all three doubles games but we won 63 points to 38. Could we keep up the phenomenally brilliant play in the singles? With only one game to play we had won the first 5 games. Rick our ever faithful great bowler would do the job. Horror of horrors Rick lost. The result was passed to the world doping agency and all was found to be in order (Russian testers I think). The match scrutinisers got their heads together. And verified that the final score was (Can you feel the tension its worse than waiting for the synchronised swimming results) Parwich 147, Bakewell 88, a win by 59 points. This means that we have gone into CHAMPIONSHIP PLACE! by three points. What a disaster, we will be promoted next year to face the likes of illustrious teams, such as Tideswell and Hazelwood! Only one more match to go. (Bet we blow it, or could tiny Parwich become Crown Green bowls Leicester City?).
- LAST MATCH – Away – Matlock Bath – 8 September – 1.45pm

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
Last week’s glorious weather was followed by the heavens opening on Thursday and the match having to be abandoned. Having played bowls for more years than I care to remember this is the first time a match has been called off.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Home – Whitworth Park – 23 August – 6.00pm.
Early starts now, it is quite amazing how quickly the nights are drawing in and we haven’t even got passed August yet. Whitworth were a fair way ahead of us in the league, 19 points to be exact so we needed to try our best. We managed to win three of the four games and came a close second in the other. Dot H propping up John B again won 21 – 9. Dawn A and Tony a won 21 – 12 with the ever reliable Edith and Rick chipping in with a 21 – 16 win. Adding the 15 points we got in the fourth game gave us a win 78 – 58. Now you maths buffs will have already clocked that we won by 20 points and thus have overtaken our opponents in the league! Only two more matches left in this league now.
- Next match – Away – Chatsworth – 30 August – 6.00pm.
Matlock Thursday League.
Away – Bradwell – 25 August – 1.45.
So for the first time that I can recall the match had to be called off. It sheeted down! Unlike the cricket we unfortunately do not have recourse to the Duckworth- Lewis method to decide who has won the match so we will have another go next Wednesday. Perhaps in such circumstances we could automatically award the match to the away team on the basis that they had to travel. Alternatively we could have a game of tiddlywinks. Thinking about it we might do a bit better at that.
Next match – Away – Bradwell – 31 August – 1.45 pm – Wednesday.- Next match – Home – Bakewell – 1 September – 1.45pm

Thank you to the Parish Council for this information:
The Parish Council is aware that the condition of the roads in, and around, the village is of concern to residents. The responsibility for maintaining the roads rests with Derbyshire County Council. DCC operate an on-line form for accessing information and reporting various issues which can be found here.
To report a pothole select
- Report or request
- Fault on Road
- Road condition
then select the picture that matches the pothole and add its location and comments and/or photographs.
The following have already been reported by the Clerk in April with photographic evidence.
- Near the Cottage and Nether Green
Deep pothole – Reported on 6 April 2016, I believe this pothole has been reported before but there has been no repair. This pot hole is approximately 9cm deep It is on the main route through. Parwich It is on a narrow lane frequently used by cyclists in groups. If a cyclist were unable to avoid it the risk of serious injury would be very high.Current status: Job authorised
- Near Church View
Shallow pothole – The surface has broken up around iron works in the road leaving a 6cm exposed sharp metal edge. This is a hazard to cyclists and pedestrians.Current status: Enquiry noted
- B5056 to Ashbourne
Subsidence – This road has been damaged by heavy lorry traffic in a number of places. This is the main route from several villages and businesses into Ashbourne. There is concern that failure to address the condition of this road will lead to further deterioration resulting in more costly and disruptive repairs being required.Current status: Enquiry noted
So as you will realise nothing has happened very quickly. The Parish Council appears to have no more influence than anyone else using the reporting form. However it may be that if more people report the same issues indicating their continued concern then they might be given a greater priority.
Andrew Martin.
Parish Clerk.

Does anybody have a copy of yesterday’s Derby Telegraph (Monday 22nd August) that they no longer want? I’d really like the Ashbourne show feature if anybody has it going spare. I’m happy to collect!
Thanks in advance, Katy W.

The cooker previously sold but will not fit in the kitchen of the new owner. Great opportunity to get something to keep you warm in the long cold nights ahead.
Does anyone in the village need an AGA cooker?
“It is oil fired and as well as cooking, it also heated our hot water supply, we have no idea how old it is, but it has been regularly serviced. It will be decommissioned in about two weeks time. We do not want anything for it, but whoever wants it must take it away themselves”.
Please contact

The Sycamore redecorations are progressing well, so keep Friday 2nd September free in your diary for the grand re-opening (see https://parwich.org/2016/08/11/sycamore-re-launch-planned/).
Kirsty is continuing the newspaper orders, so if you have a paper on Saturday or Sunday they will be available to collect. Currently the Shop @The Sycamore is open each day from 10am to 2pm, and we will keep you updated as things progress.
However the list of who gets what newspaper has been mislaid, so if you could let Kirsty or Jane know what weekend papers you want that would be a great help. Either call into the Shop this lunch time or phone 390 212.
