Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
Although Crude oil dropped below $49 a barrel, the Pound has fallen sharply against the Dollar, leaving heating oil prices very volatile today with many nervous suppliers worried about next weeks prices!
The rate and offer details for our clubs group orders for this weekend are as follows:

Thank you to Andrew M who has sent the following information from DDDC:
Dear Parish & Town Councils
I am writing to advise you that we are currently experiencing some difficulties with waste & recycling collections. Currently due to unforeseen circumstances Serco are experiencing a shortage of resources; therefore some residents maybe experiencing delays with their scheduled collections. We apologise for any inconvenience that this may be causing and would like to reassure you that we are working with the contractor to resolve the issues as quickly as possible. There will be collection staff out this Saturday (25th June) clearing some of the missed collections. The situation will be reviewed on Monday and every effort will be made to clear any outstanding backlog. There is no change to scheduled collections, residents should still present their containers on collection day but Serco are not always managing to finish the rounds which is impacting on the following days collections.
If a collection is missed residents should report it at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/waste or contact the waste helpline 01629 761122 and leave their container (s) at the edge of their property until it has been collected.
Regular updates will be given on the website.

Thank you Louise B for posting the following on our Facebook page:
To everyone in Parwich, I have just spoken to DDDC regarding why our bins haven’t been emptied, they have informed me that the contractors are running a day late so now our bins will be emptied tomorrow. DDDC have said to keep our bins out as they may be collected early in the morning.
So make sure you grey general waste bins and food waste caddies are out for early in the morning (Thursday 23rd June).

Parwich Parish Council
At last week’s meeting of Parwich Parish Council it was resolved that the Council’s Communications Policy should be amended to include the following two clauses:
Website
The Parish Council will follow recommended best practice in maintaining its own website which meets statutory requirements, integrates access to other local authority content and provides absolute clarity that the Council takes responsibility for its content.
Parwich Blog
The Parish Council values the Parwich Blog as an effective means of communicating with residents. Regular posts to the Blog will be used to provide effective links to content on the Parish Council Website but are not intended to duplicate it.
We hope that this clarification is helpful to residents and look forward to working with the Blog team to make both sites as useful as possible.

Has anyone else experienced occasional unwanted visits by a crow/rook (not sure what it is, and whether it is just one or more than one), wildly pecking at windows? Both Rita M and I have recently had the bird(s) visiting our windows, even the small window-panes of a door, leaving a mess and small scratches on the woodwork, probably harming themselves in the process. It seems clear that they are having a go at their own reflection. Rita and I are experimenting with various deterrents: shiny CD’s, closing the curtains, cling-film. In my case the cling-film appeared to work well whilst it was covering the affected windows for several weeks, but when I removed it a few days ago the bird(s) were back in no time! I like to think that I don’t need to cover my windows with cling-film forever, so wondered whether anyone else has successfully overcome the problem.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
The season is certainly going well. Better not speak too soon, however. Dennis and Clara E are rapidly becoming our star pair and the pair to be beaten by our opponents. So far they have won six games on the bounce. Bet I’ve given them the kiss of death now. Two really good wins though this week.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Howe -14 June – 6.30pm – Chatsworth.
Matching our best win of the season we won all four games. Dawn A was very magnanimous and allowed John B to play again. Just in case, she played with him so that she could sort him out if he went off the boil again. It worked because they won 21 – 7. This score was more than matched by Pat B and Harry B. Dennis and Clara E did a great job in coming home winners 21 – 19, again matched by Edith and Rick 21 – 19. This gave us the full house score of 84 to Chatsworth’s 52. Unfortunately we have a very eagle eyed League Secretary who picks up on every little detail and noticed we had put the wrong date on the score sheet! Both teams got a 10 point deduction! Talk about here’s a hair let’s split it. Next week we are away to one of the top sides in the league. Keep your fingers crossed.
- Next match – Away – Ashwood Park – 21 June – 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday League
Home – Matlock Bath – 16 June – 1.45pm.
For the second time this year, and although we are still short of players because of holidays, we won all 3 doubles games. Dennis and Clara E did their stuff again winning 21 – 19. John and Liz H followed on from their success against the league leader’s last week and came home 21 – 10. Last, but by no means least Audrey B and Rick M won 21 – 18. Parwich 63, Matlock 47. The singles for once was extremely close even though we won 4 out of the 6 games. John H doubling up because of shortage of players won 15 – 9, with Rick M having to do the same winning 15 -11, matched by Edith. Dawn A as usual put in a good result for us winning 15 – 10. Parwich 72, Matlock 71. Phew! Final score Parwich 135 Matlock 118. We had managed to climb up to third in the League so this result should hopefully keep us there.
- Next match – Away – Baslow. – 23 June – 1.45pm.
John B.

Last night, about 9 o’clock I heard a sudden intense bird song. I have never heard a bird song like that before. I saw the bird which looked like a slim line thrush. I have looked online and think it could have been a nightingale. We look to be on the edge of the habitat for nightingales on the RSPB website. Has anyone else seen or heard a nightingale here? Am I deluding myself?!

Thank you to DDDC fort his information about the tour and about road closures in Ashbourne on Friday morning
Cheer on the Women’s Tour this Friday
Derbyshire Dales communities will be cheering on the star-studded Aviva Women’s Tour when it hits the area this Friday, 17 June. Big names such as World Road Race Champion Lizzie Armitstead and multiple World and Olympic Champion Marianne Vos – both named in the 96-rider provisional line-up – are likely to be battling it out in the Ashbourne to Chesterfield stage of the Tour.
And several local community groups have taken advantage of £100 grants provided by Derbyshire Dales District Council to add colour and excitement to what is being billed as the Tour’s toughest stage, including ‘Queen of the Mountains’ sections below Winster and on Matlock’s Bank Road.
Local schools, clubs and groups have been invited to cheer on the riders as they whizz through the Dales during the late morning and early afternoon of Friday.
Stage Three officially starts at 10.45am in Ashbourne Market Place, where one of the grant recipients, Ashbourne Fairtrade Town Initiative, will be mingling with the crowds giving out free bananas, stickers and information encouraging local people to choose healthy snacks when cycling.

What is the collective noun for jackdaws? It certainly didn’t sound like a ‘murmuration’ this evening as they gathered to roost over Creamery Lane. Residents will be hoping it is not repeated as part of the dawn chorus.
I am assuming it is jackdaws rather than rooks, as it is mainly jackdaws that come into the garden.
