PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
One and a half wins this week and Dawn A won the open singles last Sunday with Rick M coming a close second. Congratulations Dawn.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Home -31 May – 6.30pm – Matlock Golf Club.
You know how there are bogey teams in football well we have the same trouble playing the Golf Club. Perhaps we should challenge them to a round of golf, we may achieve a better result, as it was we did not win, but we didn’t lose either. We managed to contrive a draw with both teams winning two games each. Dawn A and Clara E winning in style 21 – 7. Edith and Dennis E also doing well winning 21 – 11. The least said about John B and Dot H the better. Suffice it to say John B is dropped next week and will be lucky if we see him on the green again this year. The final score was 60 points each. This kept us mid table.
- Next match – Away – Whitworth Park – 7 June – 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday League
Home – Bradwell B. – 2 June – 1.45pm.
Bradwell are just ahead of us in the League and as you know, dear reader, we have a number of players on holiday. However, this did not deter your fabulous village bowls team. (You watch we will fall down with a vengeance next week!).
Anyway carrying on this week’s match we had to have people ‘doubling up’ i.e. playing in the doubles and the singles as we only had 10 players. However for the first time in living memory we won all three doubles games, with the dynamic Dennis and Clara E winning 21 – 8. Not to be out done Rick M and Ian J matched their score. Edith R and Audrey B although only winning by one point managed the hat trick of wins for us. Parwich 63, Bradwell 36.
Could our singles team do an equally good job, well sort of? The result was three games each, but when you have got Rick M and Dawn A doing their stuff the opposition capitulated and we won by 74 points to 62. The overall result was Parwich 137, Bradwell 98. This will mean that we will climb above Bradwell in the League.
Next week we play the top team so the banana skin is already in place.
- Next match – Away – Bakewell – 9 June – 1.45pm.
John B

Jill L has asked use to put out a request for newspaper again:
I am expecting puppies (at least the dog is!!) in June and as you will remember from the last time I need newspapers. Lots of people seem to read on line now, but if you still get an actual paper they would be very useful. I can collect, just call 353, or they can be left at my door. Should I have too many, I will be sure to recycle them.
Thank you
Jill, tel. 353

A Message from the Parish Council about Dog Fouling.
The Parish Council shares the concerns raised by a number of residents about dog fouling in the village. Bins and signs are provided to encourage owners to clear up after their dog.You may also wonder what further measures can be taken when problems persist. The following advice originates from Helen Spencer, Parks and Street Scenes Assistant at Derbyshire Dales District Council.
“If a witness comes forward to report that they have seen a dog fouling and their owner failing to clean up then we can issue a fine on the basis that the witness is willing to stand up in court if it gets that far. Evidence such as photos, time, weather, location, description owner or the dog would also help.
We can arrange for an enforcement officer to visit the area but we would need rough estimate of times that the dog fouling occurs. There also may be a charge for the officers time.”
Please note that if you wish to come forward as a witness you will need to report this to Derbyshire Dales yourself as the Parish Council cannot do this on your behalf.
If you believe you have made regular enough observations to justify the cost of requesting an enforcement officer please email clerk@parwichparishcouncil.org.uk with details and it can be considered at the next available meeting.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
Playing on the two most difficult greens in the Leagues we had one fabulous win and a near miss and our ‘star’ played her second game even better than the first. If you do not believe these extremely accurate and unbiased reports then you are living in the wrong Village!
Matlock Tuesday League.
Away -24 May – 6.30pm – Matlock Bath.
The green at Matlock is very small and you have to know where the humps and hollows are. This as you may realise dear reader is not always possible for the ‘away team’. The games were shared 2 each, but again as you know it’s ‘points that win prizes’ John B and Rick M lead the way for us with a 21 – 13 win. Pat B and Harry B also had a good win 21 – 18. Our remaining pairs, although putting up a really good show, lost. The final result was a close loss Matlock 73, Parwich 66. Our position in the League was just below half way and this result I fear will not improve our position. Tough game again next week, keep your fingers crossed.
- Next match – Home – Matlock Golf Club – 31 May – 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday League
Away – Youlgrave – 26 May – 1.45pm.
Now you know about the elephant buried under Youlgrave’s green and not only do you have to be on top of your game, but you also need David Attenborough to get you over the wild life. However when you have a Lynn and an Edith you must stand a bit of a chance. Playing with Pat B, Lynn C, although losing, got 13 extremely valuable points. Dennis and Clara E again, although losing got 19 great points. Our third couple Audrey B and Ian J were being put to the sward. At one point they were 13 nil down, but fought back to a narrow loss 21 – 15. What a pair. At the end of the doubles though we were 16 points down. However, you can’t keep our singles players down even on the trickiest green in the League. Dot H was inspired winning 15 – 6 and John B and Edith winning to 8 and 9 respectively. Out of the 90 points available we got 88! I am in awe of the members! The final score was Parwich 135, Youlgrave 123. We had slipped to fourth in the League so this winning score should at least keep us there.
- Next match – Home – Bradwell – 2 June – 1.45pm.
This bank holiday Sunday we are playing our Open Singles competition. Start Time 2.00pm. Why not come along and see what you are missing. A piece of cake and a cup of tea may well be in the offing.

It is expected that all councillors attempt to attend all meetings wherever possible. The meetings usually start at 7.30 pm and generally last at least 2 hours, sometimes longer when the agenda is particularly long. Members of the public regularly attend the meetings to contribute, raise issues and listen to proceedings.
The next parish council meeting to discuss this is Wednesday, 15th June 2016 at 7.30 pm in Parwich Memorial Hall.
