The Blog Team wish Janet and Rosie all the best in their new endeavours and their new home. It was nearly sixteen years ago that Janet took on the tenancy of the Sycamore Inn, and as well as all the hard work in maintaining a genuine local pub, she took on the shop, welcomed local groups and societies, for many years she was booking secretary for the Memorial Hall, provided a local collection point for prescriptions and directed countless delivery drivers, and much more.
Also there was the unseen support given to many, from phone calls to lifts, to such as looking after the man with presenile dementia who had lost his walking group until the Police could trace his carers. A local pub and shop are often 
the first place people go for information or help.
Also a big thank you to Steve for the many years he did a full day’s work farming, then greeted customers from behind the bar with a smile and friendly chat.

This week sees the peak of the annual Perseid meteor showers:
The 2016 Perseid meteor shower will peak overnight on Aug. 11 and 12, 2016. The meteor shower appears to radiate out of the constellation Perseus in the northern sky.
See http://www.space.com/32868-perseid-meteor-shower-guide.html for more details. So check the weather forecast, wrap up warm and enjoy the show (especially on Thursday and Friday nights).

Derbyshire Dales District Council are investigating ways of meeting the significant funding short falls that will arise from government cuts and are currently seeking input on proposals to charge for replacement bins and for plastic refuse bags, click here for more details. They are conducting an online survey which runs upto the 30th of September (click here to participate in their survey).
We encourage all readers to participate in the District Council survey, but thought it would be interesting to also ask some additional questions here:
Blog Team members, when discussing this post, felt that Derbyshire Dales offers an excellent waste collection and recycling service, which compares well with other Authorities, and they respond well to any disruption to collections. What do you think?
Replacement refuse and recycling containers cost the Council some £28,000 per year.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
Phew- we managed to lose twice this week. One loss we could have done without in the Tuesday League, but the loss in the Thursday League will hopefully not have too detrimental effect on our push for higher things in the Crown Green bowling world.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Away –Wirksworth – 2 August – 6.30pm.
We managed to beat Wirksworth at Parsons Croft quite easily, but on their very large green it was a different story. The games were shared two each with Rick and Edith leading the way as usual by winning 21 -10. Tony A and Dawn A came back from a losing position to win by 21 – 19. Unfortunately our other pairs did not fare with Clara E and John B going down 21 – 14. Similarly Harry B and Dot H also lost 21 – 10. The final score was Wirksworth 71, Parwich 66. Not a bad score really, we had slipped to seventh place in the league so there is a chance that these points will keep us there. Only five matches left in this league, where did the summer go. What summer I hear you cry.
- Next match – Home – Matlock Bath – 9 August – 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday League
Away – Hathersage – 4 August – 1.45pm.
Until a few games ago Hathersage were hard on our heels in third place in this league, they had slipped to fourth. They had also beaten us at Parsons Croft earlier in the season. We did not do too badly in the doubles really and although we only won one of the three games by Ian J and Dennis E, we were confident. Hathersage 56, Parwich 41. Now a very rare thing happened in the singles because although we won four out of the six games we lost 71 – 70. The stars of the singles were Rick M and Pat B each winning 15 – 8. Final score Hathersage 127, Parwich 111. Not a complete write off. Only four league matches to go in this league so keep your fingers crossed that we manage to hang on to second place.
- Next league match – Home – Youlgrave – 18 August – 1.45 pm
Next week on Thursday we have 5 players taking part in the annual Greenaway charity match. This really is a good day and of course the best part is not only do you enjoy yourself, but the Greenaway Workshop in Darley Dale will benefit too.
John B.

In addition to those listed, congratulations to Alex Ediker and Jacob Buckley for their outstanding performances.
Thank you to all those who, once again, gave up their time to help orchestrate the event. Thanks also, of course, to the runners from far and wide who came to Parwich to take part. We had a total of 119 adult runners which was tremendous. We look forward to welcoming you again next year.

Calling all Parwich Folk!!!! Please can you comment or message me if you are looking for a regular window cleaner. We have found someone but he will only come if he knows that he will get a regular set of Parwich people to make it worth his while.

If you are interested do contact Jo via Facebook or email us at parwich@hotmail.co.uk and we will forward your details to Jo.

Thanks for the interest everyone! I think we can say that Parwich needs a window cleaner now!!!! So I will speak to him in 3 weeks time when he returns from his holiday. Plus let you know how I get on! Jo

The Ashbourne News Telegraph advise drivers to avoid Ashbourne if possible at present because of three mile tail backs on the A515 north from the town, as a result of the Y Not Festival traffic.
Do keep our readers updated with your experiences on the roads using comments as the Festival site clears.

I am looking for another two people who are looking for a chimney sweep so that I can book a highly recommended sweep. The sweep comes a fair distance to Parwich, having 3 chimneys to sweep makes it viable for her. Anyone interested please ring me on 390058. Karen W

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
Again we had two really good wins this week even though we didn’t manage to get a camel under the green for Youlgraves visit. Good turn out as well in the Square Robin club competition with Tony A and Dawn A taking the honours. If you don’t know what a square robin looks like you will have to wait until next year.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Home –Youlgrave – 26 July – 6.30pm.
Having been comprehensively beaten at Youlgrave earlier in the season, and following on from last weeks dismal result we had to try and get back a little confidence. Thankfully we did. Rick and Edith showing the way winning 21 – 10. Dawn A and Dot H also doing a grand job to win 21 – 13. The husband and wife pair Tony and Sue A showed that marital harmony works well on the bowls green winning 21 – 14. We won’t mention Harry B and John B losing superbly well 21 – 11. What a Pair! You will have worked out that we won 74 – 58. At least this result made up a little for the loss at Youlgrave. We had slipped to seventh in the league so this win should stop us from dropping any lower.
- Next match – Away – Wirksworth – 2 August – 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday League
Home – Matlock Park – 28 July – 1.45pm.
We keep doing it, winning that is and the doubles pairs seem to be getting the hang of it as well, two good wins and a close loss. John H and Clara E winning 21 – 10 and Ian J and Liz H coming home 21 – 11. After the doubles we were in the lead 58 – 42. Can’t be bad.
Having played a blinder on Tuesday Tony and Sue A did it again today each winning 15 – 6. Dawn A and Edith R also won comprehensively, but the best result was Rick M winning 15 – 0. This gave us a singles score of 82 – 39. The overall score was Parwich 140, Matlock Park 81. This I am sure will cement our second place in the league. Onward and upward as they say.
- Next match – Away – Hathersage – 4 August – 1.45 pm
John B.
