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

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
Our opponents were very good teams this week and we managed one win and a very close second in the other match. Can you believe we are already a third if the way through the season.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Home -17 May – 6.30pm – Wirksworth.
Wirksworth were third in the League and are as you would expect a very keen team. Of the four games, we won three with Tony A and John B winning 21 – 2. Edith and Rick also had a great win 21 – 7. Dennis and Clara E battled away and finally came home winners 21 – 15. Although Sue A and Dot H lost it did not have too much effect on the score and Parwich won 70 – 45. Our mid table position may well improve this week. Tricky match next week at Matlock Bath on their 50 pence piece green.
- Next match – Away – Matlock Bath – 24 May – 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday League
Home – Hathersage – 19 May – 1.45pm.
As I mentioned last week Hathersage were top of the league and we needed to be on top of our game to have any chance. A mention has also to be made of our latest player. Because ‘a star is born’. Can you believe Lynn C having played hardly any bowls at all played like a veteran? Partnered with Edith R, although they lost 21 – 13 they were playing against Hathersages best pair, what a result. Watch out everybody, Lynn C has arrived. She will be jumping out of hot air balloon baskets next. Our remaining pairs did not win, but Rick M and Clara E only just lost 21 – 18. After the doubles we were 21 points behind. The singles players put up a great come back and although only three were wins the other players came close. The final outcome was Parwich 123 Hathersage 126. Not bad for possibly the smallest Club in the League. Next week the elephants are on parade again, we are away to Youlgrave!!
- Next match – Away – Youlgrave – 26 May – 1.45pm.
The holiday season is upon us and we are critically short of players. We are 5 members short and bearing in mind we only have 14 registered players and we need 12 players for the Thursday League you do not have to be a mathematical genius to work out we are short. Anybody care to join Lynn C next week??

I work with a small Charity and we want to purchase a portable PA system to use at our events, but need some advice about what would be suitable and thought maybe there is someone who could give me that advice. A system with a wireless microphone would be ideal and one which can be used inside and out. Also the cost needs to be reasonable.
If you can offer any advice I would be very grateful.
Thanks, Margaret R

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
We have enjoyed some good matches so far this season and apart from the occasional blip we have done well. Unfortunately we are going to struggle for the next few weeks. This is because at least 5 members of the Club are going away on holiday and because of our small numbers the remaining players will have to play their socks off.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Away -10 May – 6.30pm – Youlgrave.
It was stair-rodding it down on Tuesday night and unfortunately we did not have a good night. In addition as you loyal readers will know Youlgrave buried an elephant, or it could have been a camel, under their green a few years ago and this makes for very interesting Jack and bowls lines. You can send a wood and by the time it has finished rolling it can almost come back on itself. Really frustrating at times, but good fun if you know what you are doing. As you may gather we don’t. Only one pair won, Harry B and John B winning 21-9. Rick and Edith were winning 19 -12, but their opponents pegged them back and finished up winning 21 – 19. Our remaining pairs lost quite well. The final score was Youlgrave 82, Parwich 53. Next week back in Parwich, but our opponents will be difficult to beat.
- Next match – Home – Wirksworth – 17 May – 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday League
Away – Matlock Park – 12 May.
The afternoon was beautiful and extremely hot and so was our bowls. Although we lost all of the doubles games we were only a few points down. The maximum points you can win in the 6 singles games is 90 and we won all six. Rick M winning by 15 – 1. Tony A won 15 – 5 with John B also having a good win 15 -6. The final score was Matlock 105, Parwich 137. It’s a good job we have done well in these early matches as we will have a problem over the next few weeks and particularly next week as we play the team top of the League.
- Next match – Home – Hathersage – 19 May – 1.45pm.

The Parish Clerk would like to draw your attention to the following item minuted at the last Parish Council Meeting.
In response to the Comprehensive Spending Review and associated Local Government Financial Settlement Derbyshire County Council is consulting on proposals to remove subsidies for local bus services from October 2017 and replace them with a ‘demand responsive transport’ alternative.
This proposal would result in the discontinuation of all subsidised routes including the 102 which serves Parwich.
The consultation is taking the form of a questionnaire which individuals can complete on-line or by a paper copy. This consultation ends on the 24th of April. It was noted that publicity for this consultation has already been provided by the Parwich Blog.
A Councillor had been advised that the average usage per journey on this route has only been around two seats. The Council considered it highly unlikely that a commercially viable, unsubsidised, service could be sustained based on this level of demand.
It was considered that the prospects for successfully opposing the removal of the subsidies (and hence the services they support) were poor given the unlikely availability of funds to re-instate them. As funding is proposed for the ‘demand responsive transport’ alternative, and as this is a new proposal, more realistic opportunities to influence its implementation may exist.
A member of the public had communicated to the Council a number of ideas that they hoped might enable a service to be preserved or even enhanced.
The Council would want a public transport to exist for the village. It did not consider that it had powers materially different from those of the general public to campaign to challenge or modify the proposals.
Should any one wish to lead and manage a campaign to influence the outcome of these proposals, to ensure the best possible public transport provision for Parwich the Parish Council would consider requests for support favourably.
If you would like to be involved with this please contact the Parish Clerk. Andrew Martin by e-mail at clerk@parwichparishcouncil.org.uk
