To our American residents and readers, Happy Independence Day.
Local links to America date back to well before 1776, with Aslops, Brownsons and Hawleys emigrating to New England in the early 1600s, and, following the persecution of Quakers in Ashbourne, Henry Gibbons of Parwich emigrated in the 1680s to Pennsylvania (See History Society News letter #21).

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
Although Crude oil has not moved far from $50 a barrel, the Pound has fallen sharply against the Dollar over the last week, leaving heating oil prices very volatile and many nervous suppliers worried about rates!
The rate and offer details for our clubs group orders for this weekend are as follows:
- Rate: £0.3099 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
Oh dear we are still winning with a vengeance and in both the Leagues this week. As you dear reader, know it can sometimes be a little inclement on the Bowls green and our Tuesday match was inclement in the extreme.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Away -28 June – 6.30pm – Bakewell.
You really do need to get down to Parsons Croft and see how good your tiny village bowls team is. They are awesome. Bakewell are third in the division by a long way and we are struggling just below half way, however even though it looked as though it was the potential start of the great flood and we would need to contact Noah the Team won.
We came off the green looking like drowned rats, but with big smiles on our faces. Rick and Edith stormed home 21 – 7. Dawn A and John B won 21 – 17 with Pat B and Dennis E also winning 21 – 19. Even though Clara E and Harry B lost they were playing their best pair and still got 12. The final score was Bakewell 64, Parwich 75.
Next week we play the top of the league. I think we will need more than Noah.
Matlock Thursday League
Home – Whitworth Park – 30 June – 1.45pm.
It’s getting critical now that we are past half way in the season because we had another cracking win!
We only won one of the three doubles, but we were only 5 points down. With a good 21 – 14 win and with close losses to 15 -21 in the other two games, we were in touch.
You may well recall we do quite well in the singles and this week was no exception with Dawn A winning 15 – 1, Tony A 15 – 4 Harry B 15 – 6, Rick M 15 – 6 and Edith R 15 – 7. Although we lost one game it was only 14 – 15! Singles scores Parwich 89, Whitworth 39, giving an overall win 140 – 95. This will cement our second position in the league.
Have a good time at Wakes. The Bowls Club would love to take part in the Hill Race, but as you can see we have to uphold the Village on the bowls green on Tuesday!

The Parwich Royal British Legion have had a replica sign made so that they can protect Paul Burlinson’s original inside. Click here to see their original Facebook post on this.
You may have noticed that our Legion sign painted by Paul Burlinson has been missing since February, this was to protect the original from the elements whilst we made a replica to replace it to ensure we could protect such an amazing legacy which Paul left us. The original is now up in pride of place inside the legion, whilst the replica made by Cameron Jewitt and Joe Beech of Acres Signs and Graphics, is now placed outside to greet all our patrons.
Thanks to everyone who has helped us with this project and we hope you enjoy the sign as much as we do and also special thanks and remembrance for Paul who was a key member of the team here at Parwich Legion someone we all miss greatly. Here are some sign preparation photos.
It is particularly appropriate to be able to post this on the eve of the centenary commemorations of the Battlle of the Somme.

This morning I have swept up great piles of glass in the road around the Green, and understand from a lady walking her children to school that there is more up Church Walk. it may be wise to advise Mums to brief kids on bikes and generally fooling around, to be careful.
It is very fine crushed glass which is probably from the rubbish collection yesterday.
I have notified the sanitation dept at Derbyshire Dales and they are contacting the contractor to check the Lorry for signs of leakage.

I hope our own A52s don’t mind that we have brazenly lifted the following from their Facebook page:
The band is playing on home territory this Saturday (2nd July). Parwich Wakes is starting and a week of fun is about to start!
We will be playing on The Green starting around 9pm. For one night only we will be joined by guest drummer Alex Martin. Here’s a moody promo pic so you can see just what a cool bunch we are.
Hope to see you there!

We found this mobile phone holder / wallet outside Sycamore Cottages this morning.
Let me know if it’s yours and I can pop it round to you or you can collect it.

It seems that the Pupils of Parwich Primary School had a great time last week as part of National Sports Week. There are some excellent photos on the Ashbourne News Telegraph website. It is great they had a chance to experience so many different activities:
Don’t forget that there are also regular photographic updates on the School website:
Let’s hope it has them ready for the Children’s Sports and the Hill Races next week

The Blog Team said thank you to JFS yesterday over a cream tea. JFS has been a photographic stalwart, recording nearly every Parwich event for our website. It has been a mammoth task which he has approached not only with quiet fortitude but also displaying considerable artistic skill . We hope that he will continue to bring his camera with him every time he comes to Parwich.
Thank you so much for the silver swallow, a beautiful piece of delicate work. It was suggested that an ear lobe would be the place to wear it. However it will be placed on my sun hat. I will treasure it. JFS

A belated thank-you to the person, whether volunteer or contractor, who cut the grass on the corners of the junction with the B5056. An accident was waiting to happen there. I’d half-heartedly thought about doing it myself, but I’m very pleased you did it for us!

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
Can you believe the bowls season is already half way through and we don’t seem to have had too much summer yet, or is it me? Perhaps the summer will surprise us and come with a flourish soon. As for the bowls we appear to be rocketing along in one league and struggling in the other.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Away -21 June – 6.30pm – Ashwwod Park.
As mentioned last week Ashwood are a good second in the league and they certainly played like it. There was also a loss for our dynamic duo Dennis and Clara E who lost for the first time in ages. You can tell how good Ashwood are because even Rick and Edith lost albeit by the small margin of 21 – 19. We could only muster one win this week with Dawn A and Dot H convincingly winning 21 – 17. Unfortunately these were the only two bright aspects of this week’s attempts by you bowls club. The final result was Ashwood 80, Parwich 57.
Although we are not playing our best in this league we are still none the less only just below half way in the division. If we could string a few good results together we may climb a few places. We play Bakewell away next week, not the best place to go to try and start a bit of a results run.
Matlock Thursday League
Away – Baslow – 23 June – 1.45pm.
We really will have to take care in this League as we are flying along. As of last week we had climbed up into second place in the division. I think money may well have to change hands in order for us to drop a few places and avoid promotion. Having said that we did not perform well in the doubles this week and only managed one win, but what a win it was for Audrey B and Dot H, 21 -3. After the doubles we trailed 40 points to 45.
In the singles we came through with flying colours winning 5 out of the 6 games, with Dawn A, Edith, and John H all scoring handsomely. Parwich 79, Baslow 60. The overall result therefore Baslow 105, Parwich 119. We will have to start losing!
Enjoy open gardens and well done to those of you who have strived to get them looking great.
John B.
