Possibly missing cat spotted off Smithy Lane
Has anyone lost a very pretty brown tabby cat?
He/she may have been missing for a while as he/she is painfully thin and ravenously hungry. A very friendly cat who must have had an owner at some time. He/she has been passing through our garden for several days but always ran away until yesterday when he/she came for some food.
If you know who may have lost this cat please ring Margaret R on 01335 390369.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
At least we managed to lose one game this week, but it wasn’t a very good loss. In the other league we won. Perhaps next year we should have had a go in the hill race instead.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Home -5 July – 6.30pm – Cote Heath.
Cote Heath got relegated from the top division last year and have been winning for fun this year. They have some really very good players, but then so do we. The match was shared two games each with the ever reliable Edith and Rick winning 21 – 7. Tony and Sue A also played their little socks off to win 21 – 17. Although our other two pairs lost because we managed to accumulate more points than they did a win was possibly on the cards, and as you know dear reader points mean prizes in crown green bowls. The final score was Parwich 67, Cote Heath 66. Only one point in it, but a win is a win. Following last week’s win we had moved up a place in the division, but I think that this win may well not be sufficient to keep us there.
- Next match – Home – Whitworth Park – 5 July – 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday League
Away – Chatsworth – 7 July – 1.45pm.
Few we lost! But only just. There were two very close games in the doubles this week with Harry and Audrey B just losing 21 – 20 and Ian J and Clara E losing 21 – 19. After the doubles the score was Chatsworth 63, Parwich 49.
The singles were split three games each with a rare event taking place with Dawn, Edith, and Rick all losing. Fortunately the losses were not that great and the singles score was Parwich 71, Chatsworth 60. Now those of you with a calculator will have worked out that we therefore lost the match 123 – 120. We were in second place in the league; however this loss may drop us down a place or possibly two, which would be useful.
- Next match – Home – Bradwell – 14 July – 1.45pm.
See you down at Parsons Croft on Saturday and perhaps Sunday too when we entertain Hazelwood for a friendly.
John B.

Following the interest in the post seeking to home the rescue dog that was fostered in Tissington, we are exploring the occasional post on other pets needing a home. Many of you will know of the work that Parwich resident Margaret R does in support of Cheadle Animal Welfare Society. As the holiday season approaches they find it particularly difficult to re-home animals so here is one of the cats they currently are seeking a home for:
CAN WE FIND A HOME FOR TOM TOM?
Tom Tom is such a lovely cat. He was born in October 2009 and had a loving home until February 2016. Sadly his owner is no longer able to care for him so he needs to find a new home.
In October 2011 he had a problem with his right eye and ended up having to have it removed, but he doesn’t have any problems with that. Continue Reading »
