I cannot find the 4 black sandbags which were used to weight down my gazebo at the Village Market. Did I leave them on the Green? Has someone picked them up? If you can help please ring 390369
The Horticultural Society would like to thank those who opened their gardens on 26 June and everyone in the village who supported the event. Open Gardens could not be the success it is without the support of the village. This year Open Gardens raised £1,490.35 gross. Expenses need to come off that figure but it will mean that once again the Horticultural Society will be able to help other groups in the village. Letters requesting funding should be sent to Lesley Goodman prior to the AGM on 4 November.

By the end of Friday all the old mesh and boarding will have been removed. New fencing will have been erected to the left and right of the run of fencing behind the pavilion.
The courts should be clear of fencing materials and waste by the end of Friday. The courts can be used over the weekend but there will be no fencing at the far end.
Please be warned that with the fencing down the courts appear to have gained popularity as a rabbit toilet.
The remaining run of fencing will be completed on Monday and Tuesday.

Please note there may be parking problems in Ashbourne today as a number of caravans moved onto the Shaw Croft Car Park last night. (See report on the Ashbourne Telegraph website.)
It is not known how long the situation will continue. Alternative parking includes the Market Place, the overflow field by the Fire Station, the Leisure Cetre car park, the ‘bus station’ and Sainsbury’s car park. Do let other readers know when this is resolved by adding a comment to this post.
Update – 12 midday Friday 15th July
Re. Traveller encampment, Shawcroft car park, Ashbourne
Derbyshire Dales District Council owns and operates this car park, and a spokesperson said:
We have visited the encampment, which appears to comprise a number of connected families all of whom are apparently Irish Travellers. While their representatives have informed us they intend to move on by Monday at the latest, we have in any case instigated an immediate court order process to remove them and in the meantime are constrained by the law. We will however be monitoring the site closely.
Well you see we had two cracking wins this week. The team we played in the Tuesday League are ten points ahead of us and in the Thursday League opponents are a little behind us.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Home -12 July – 6.30pm – Whitworth Park.
We shared the games this week and all four were very keenly contested. Dennis and Clara E got back to winning ways by 21 -17. Ever dependable Edith and Rick stormed home 21 – 11 which in fact was the deciding factor in the overall result. Although Dawn A and John B tried hard they were well beaten by the Whitworth pair 19 – 21 and the same applied to Pat B and Harry B, just beaten 18 -21. The final result was Parwich 79, Whitworth 70. As you maths geniuses will note we won by 9 points so we are now one point behind Whitworth.
Next week we entertain Youlgrave they of elephant under the green fame. Has anybody got a camel lurking about somewhere that we could bury under our green before next week?
Next match – Away – Bradwell B – 19 July – 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday League
Home – Bradwell – 14 July – 1.45pm.
The Thursday League Juggernaut rolls on! Really good wins in the doubles with two wins and a close second. Liz H and Sue A coming home 21 -14 and Dawn A and Ian J also winning 21 -19. With the close loss we were 61 – 54 ahead.
Five wins out of six in the singles with John H and Dawn A both winning 15 – 9. The singles score finished up Parwich 83, Bradwell 67. The combined score was Parwich 144, Bradwell 121. Bearing in mind the maximum score you can achieve is 154, we were only 10 below this.
Next match – Away – Wirksworth A – 21 July – 1.45pm
We have a club competition on Sunday, open doubles, but I’m sure a piece of cake could be in the offing.
The new fencing around the Hard Court Area is being erected this week. It is taking longer than expected so the courts will probably be out of use until next week. A more exact completion date will be advised when known. Apologies for any inconvenience.
The previous owner of the tabby cat who appeared in Smithy Lane last week, has been traced as the cat was microchipped.
Apparently this little cat had been rehomed from the village as a kitten 2 years ago and had gone to live in a town several miles away. Due to a change in family circumstances the cat had been brought back and subsequently escaped. Unfortunately she was in a very poor state when she was found. I took her to the vet used by Cheadle Animal Welfare Society, Meir Park Veterinary Hospital, where it was found that she had a broken tail and a huge abscess on her back. She has been put on a drip so will be staying in hospital for a few days. After which we will try to find her a new home once she has built up her strength. She weighed just 1.8kg and had become very weak.
She is a delightful little cat and I hope that she will soon be happy in a new home.
Susan S at Townhead has had black sacks of rubbish left on her driveway for several months. The dropping of the sacks coincide with black bin collection day. Can anyone shed any light on this or is anyone else experiencing a similar problem?
Please note that there is no Village Lunch in August, but that they resume in September. Here is next year’s menu list, so you can start salivating now. We will include them in our Diary and put posters here in on the Blog each month, but if you have any queries contact Val on tel. 390 458.
We have received the following from the Parwich Oddfellows:
To everyone who helped and supported us, and most of all showed their friendship.
Now the Wakes Week as ended, I don’t think we can say, “now the dust can settle” I haven’t seen any over the last week due to the inclement weather.
Last Saturday we marched off from outside our base, thanks to the Sycamore Inn, and its a big thanks also to the Carnival and Recreation Committee with the Parwich RBL for the week we all had, you have more than helped us, and to say we ended the week on the right note was down to the RBL team and our Brother Hotch, (who can ring a bell as well), I think I can quietly say people enjoyed the night.
Big thanks also to Mick and Val on the BBQ, organising and giving your time, it is appreciated greatly.
Thanks also goes to Petal (A Flower) for his trailer.
The family fun afternoon will hopefully take place when the weather improves, we will keep you posted and we hope to see you all there.
Most of all its the friendship that’s within the village that creates such a good week for the Oddfellows, and the support given by adults and now juniors joining the Lodge, this keeps us strong and secure for the future, so thank you Brothers and Sisters.
Thank you again to all involved and the support everyone gives.
The Committee.

Update 9am
I spoke with Ilkeston Fencing this morning. Due to the weather they will not be starting the work on the Tennis Court fencing until Tuesday. They should now finish on Thursday.
Don’t forget that you can also see photos in other locations besides the Blog. There are some excellent photos from last night on the Legion’s Facebook page:
As always the Carnival & Recreation Committee do us proud, as can be seen in the proliferation of posts and photos here on the Blog. Indeed they come in fast and furious, so it can be hard to find what you are looking for. Here is a list of the posts and links to them, which will hopefully make reading the Blog easier:
It may be damp outdoors, but the ever popular Mrs Miggins’ Pie Shoppe are now playing in the Memorial Hall this evening. There will be a bar organised by the Legion. You can warm up with the following clip, before setting out for the fun from 6pm onwards at the Legion and at the Memorial Hall.
