Two UFOs landed in Parwich. Or possibly dog kennels, chicken coops or playhouses but probably compost bins.
Free to whoever offers them a home first. Otherwise going to the tip.

This is a long shot, but I wondered whether anyone in the village has any children’s life jackets (good quality please) that I can borrow for my grandchildren for a short period, or even buy. The children’s weights /heights are: approx. 17 K (98 cm); 20 K (117 cm); 31 K (139 cm).
Please contact Saskia on 440. Many thanks.

Whether you call it a jinnel, a ginnel or a jitty, the path alongside the Memorial Hall was certainly looking lovely in the late afternoon sun today (photo by John F-S).

As we are relatively new to the Peaks, we are not sure how unusual this is, thought other blog readers may be interested to see.
We were surprised to see three pairs of Mandarin ducks at a remote dew pond near Milldale last week while out walking, we popped back with a camera today, they appear to be nesting in the area.

It looks like none of the Blog Team will be able to take photos of the Duck Race today, so if you are at Tisington Ford or the BBQ later and get some photos we would love to post them. Send any photos to parwich@hotmail.co.uk.
Many thanks, Peter T

We would like to apologise to anyone who has been troubled by the sound of our son’s band recording this week. Particularly to our new neighbour who has just moved in. This will definitely finish today (Friday) as they will be going their separate ways. It seems that the roof lets through more sound than we expected when this experiment was planned so we won’t be repeating it. Thank you for your patience. Andrew & Nina M.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
The stalwarts of the green sward are back in action after their winter break. We even have a couple of new members who will be swinging their arm this year. Unfortunately the bowls training course does not appear to be in place yet. Not sure if we can get sufficient numbers for the organisers to come to Parwich. I will keep you informed. So with the first sighting of a swallow we have come out of hibernation as well with our first game this week.
Matlock Tuesday League.
- HOME -First match 12 April – 6.00pm Bakewell.
Tough first match this come down to Parsons Croft and support us.
Matlock Thursday League.
Home – 7 April – Baslow.
Now as you aficionados of this very fast moving game will remember there are effectively two elements to the Thursday League matches, doubles and singles. So just as a reminder and to those who are not aware (where have you been for the past twenty years) doubles are three pairs played up to 21, and six singles played up to 15.
It was good to see Ian J back playing and now living back in Parwich. He played with Dennis E and although they did not win they came very close just losing out by four shots 21 – 17. A similar score was achieved by Liz H and Clara E. The icing on the cake, or should that be the hailstones on the green! Sue A and Pat B coming home winners by 21 – 10. This gave us a lead of 55 – 52. Considering the weather the games were played in a really good score.
How is it that people who are good at sport and particularly this game can search around for their woods which have been unceremoniously dumped at the back of the cupboard under the stairs at the end of last season and play as though no break occurred. We, thankfully, have a few who play for us who fall within this category of superstars! Edith, Rick, and Dawn whilst scoring 45 points only had 15 scored against them. John H and Harry B also scoring 30 points to 11 against them. The final singles we won’t go into, hard luck John B! The final score after the six singles was Parwich 82, Baslow 41. Can’t be bad.
Overall Parwich 137, Baslow 93. Didn’t we do well.
Next match
- Away – Whitworth Park – 14 April – 1.45pm.

Thank you to Cheryl W for this postitive update on your BT Infinity and fibre optic broadband:
Do let us know you broadband experiences, so others can decide whether to make changes to their service now the fibre optic cables are in operation. Also I understand there is still a waiting list for new broadband connections in Parwich, so let us know too if you are still experiencing problems.

For information
There are usually 10 parish council meetings each year, usually on the third Wednesday of each month, with the exception of August and sometimes December. Councillors have to abide by a code of conduct and complete and sign certain documentation which becomes a public record.
It is expected that all councillors attempt to attend all meetings wherever possible. The meetings usually start at 7.30 pm and generally last at least 2 hours, sometimes longer when the agenda is particularly long. Members of the public regularly attend the meetings to contribute, raise issues and listen to proceedings.
The next parish council meeting to discuss this is Wednesday, 20th April 2016 at 7.30 pm in Parwich Memorial Hall.
