We do not want to discourage anyone from attending the Odd Fellows Family Fun in the afternoon and the live music in the evening tomorrow here in Parwich, but visitors to our area might want to attend Pikehall Harness Racing. It is always an great day out and there is just the one meeting this year.

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.
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.
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 »

THANK YOU.
Our first visit to Parwich. We came with Notts DA, and found you all welcoming and friendly. You put a lot of hard work into Wakes week, and we very much appreciate your efforts, even the weather didn’t dampen your enthusiasm.
So thank you very much. Hope to see you next year.
Selwyn Williams, Lily and Tilly the dog.

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).
