PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
Having suffered the ravages of the British climate last week this week could not have been more of a contrast, as indeed was the bowls we played, two really good wins.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Home -3 May – 6.30pm – Bradwell.
Fabulous evening on all counts, best of all was the result. We managed a full house with Dennis E and John B winning in great style 21 – 4. Dawn A and Tony A had a similarly good win 21 – 11. Rick M and Edith put together their usual excellent score winning 21 – 12. Finally Pat B and Sue A come home to give us our first maximum score. They won 21 – 13 with the grand total 84 – 40.
- Next match – Away – Youlgrave – 10 May – 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday League
Home – Wirksworth – 5 May.
What a gorgeous afternoon, we are in the middle of July aren’t we? We even had a visit from Lucy D. She sent a few practice woods down. She also let slip that she is doing a sports degree at Sheffield Uni. See you in a couple of years time Lucy. Fortunately we didn’t need Lucy this afternoon. The doubles pairs won two of the three games, but we still behind 46 – 58. In the singles 5 out of 6 can’t be bad with Rick M, Edith R, and Harry B being the best of us. This gave us 81 – 50 with an overall core of 127 to Parwich 108 to Wirksworth.
- Next match – Away – Matlock Park – 12 May – 1.45pm.
Although the ‘Event Diary’ on the blog shows us having a friendly against Hazelwood at Parsons Croft this Sunday the venue has been swapped and we are playing at Hazelwood. [Editor’s note- the Blog Diary has now been updated.] Come and watch if you fancy a ride out.

Alan and I mowed the village millennium green yesterday (Bank holiday Monday). Whilst generally tidying up the area I removed 10 dog deposits. Not pleasant. Today I was on the green and without searching I discovered 2 new deposits. Please please please can dog owners tidy up after their pets.
Last year the mowing contractors often moaned to us about the dog fouling on this particular area of green.
It’s an asset that should be free of horrible dog muck so people can walk on it and enjoy the lovely view.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
We are having mixed fortunes on the green of late, a bit like the curates egg really (if we had a curate or indeed an egg). One good win away from home, one not so good loss, also away from home.
Matlock Tuesday League.
AWAY -26 April – 6.30pm – Whitworth Park.
Although I wasn’t there I am reliably informed that not even brass monkeys would have dared to show their faces, or any other part of their anatomy for that matter. Hail stones as big footballs could not put our redoubtable team off. By the time a wood had gone a couple of yards it had grown to a size big enough to make a snow man. Although we only won one of the 4 games the score wasn’t that bad with Whitworth coming out on top 78 – 62.
- Next match – Home – Bradwell – 3 May – 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday League.
Away – Bradwell – 28 April.
Again the weather gods were against us (We know when to have a week’s holiday!). Evidently it was 4 degrees and throwing it down with rain. However, everybody kept going and though frost bite was a potential problem we overcame. We lost the 3 doubles games by 55 – 47 with Ian J and Liz H playing a great game to win 21 – 13.
The singles were shared 3 apiece with Tony A and Dawn A both winning 15 – 3. The final singles score of Parwich 77 to Bradwell’s 74 gave us an overall win 124 – 119. What a team!
- Next match – Wirksworth – 5 May – 1.45pm.
Another ‘welcome all’ get together tomorrow (Sunday) 2.00pm. You can’t afford to miss the cakes again! Can’t believe we will already be in May.

The rate and offer details for our clubs group orders for this weekend are as follows:

Despite the cool weather the bumblebees seem to be quite active. In my garden they are going for the lungworts (pulmonaria) and the perennial wallflowers (erysimum) rather than the spring bulbs. What are they making a bee line for in your garden?

Be inspired by Derbyshire Open Art Competition
DCC has been running the competition successfully for 34 years and it’s open to amateur and professional artists, including children. The resulting exhibition is supported by Tarmac and the Friends of Buxton Museum and Art Gallery.
Entries for the competition must capture an essence of what Derbyshire means to the artist. The subject could be a Derbyshire landscape, a view of the artist’s street or home town, local people, still life or representations of local stories. Entrants can use most mediums, including oils, acrylics, watercolours, drawing, print, collage, manipulated digital imagery or three-dimensional work. The closing date for the competition is Saturday 11 June.
DCC’s Cabinet Member for Health and Communities Councillor Dave Allen said:
“Our exhibition has been attracting a wide and appreciative audience for over 30 years and I expect the same this summer.”I am delighted that we buy the winning entry to add to our art collection at Buxton Museum and Art Gallery which makes it available to view beyond the dates of the exhibition.”
Prizes totalling £2,250 – including a £750 first prize – are on offer along with the opportunity to display work at our Museum and Art Gallery in Buxton.
Prizes will be announced at the preview evening on Friday 24 June.
Artists can submit up to two works which must be handed in between 10am and 4.30pm on Friday, 10 June or Saturday, 11 June, to the Museum and Art Gallery on Terrace Road in Buxton.
An independent panel of judges will select the winners of nine prizes, including one for sculpture and also one for work by artists aged 21 or under. Visitors to Buxton Museum will have the chance to vote for their favourite while the exhibition is on − the Visitors’ Choice will be announced on Tuesday, 9 August.
You can find the rules and entry form online, at any Derbyshire County Council library or at Buxton Museum and Art Gallery. For more information call 01629 533540 or email buxton.museum@derbyshire.gov.uk.
The judges’ selection including the winning pieces will go on display at Buxton Museum and Art Gallery from Saturday 25 June until Friday 2 September.

It is with mixed feelings that we post these great swallow photos, as we are losing John and Marion to Winster. However we wish them all the best, and hope that this is not the end of his fantastic contributions to the Blog, though they will inevitablely become fewer. Also we hope to further mark John’s photographic involvement with parwich.org soon.
The Blog Team
As the swallows move in to Parwich we move out! Cheers John F-S.
