Following last week’s really good wins we needed to try and keep the momentum going this week. We partially succeeded, read on for this week’s thrilling instalment of Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club ‘their quest for success’.
Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Away – Bakewell – 4 August – 6.30pm.
Having played last week the win took us up to third in the division, albeit by just one point. Bakewell’s green is long and thin with hardly any crown at all and as a team we struggle, but we did OK this time. Dawn and John B won their game 21 – 7, with Tony A and Harry B also having a good win 21 – 15. The Edith and Rick combo for once had a fight on their hands just sneaking home by 21 – 20. Dot H and Pat B were playing Bakewells best pair and they put up an equally good fight before coming second by 13 – 21. The overall result was Bakewell 63, Parwich 76. Dependent upon other team results we will stay third and may well reduce the gap to the team who are second. We will have to watch it though otherwise we will get promoted!!
Next match- Home – Matlock Golf Club – 11 August – 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Matlock Golf Club – 6 August – 1.45pm.
So you can’t have good wins every week, well we can’t anyway. The Golf Club are considerably ahead of us in the league. Come to think of it everybody is. After the doubles games we were trailing 36 – 55. This was after a game and a half by Dennis E and Audrey B who were 13 – 3 down, but came back to win 21 – 13. How about that. Unfortunately we were not at our best in the singles with only two of our six winning. Rick M won 15 – 10 and Dot H won 15 – 14. Well done you two. The final result though was a defeat 139 – 106. Still propping up the division. No league matches next week as it is the annual Greenaway Charity competition.
Next match – Greenaway – 13 August.
Sunday sees us with a Club competition, the Round Robin. Having had a square one it’s good to get a round one. You ornithological peeps need to do some birding down at Parsons Croft this Sunday 10.30am.

Thank you to everyone who helped marshal and supported the BBQ and raffle. Over £500 was raised and will be split between the Memorial Hall and Royal British Legion.
Here are my photos of this year’s Fell Race, taken whilst marshalling. Photos of nearly all the runners (apologies to those I missed) as they return to the village are included:
I am desperate for somewhere to store surplus milk for a short period. Does anyone have a freezer cluttering up a garage or shed that they would like to get rid of?
Parwich First Responders need somebody to do their weekly rota from 1st September. In the past the role has been performed by somebody doing their Duke Of Edinburgh Award and requires a weekly commitment of 30 to 60 minutes. Our current Responders email their availability to the Rota Co-ordinator who needs to issue the rota for the following week every Sunday evening. We need someone who is reliable and organised.
If you are interested, or know of someone who needs to undertake volunteering work, please ring Sue H on 334 for more information.
Having found the bike helmet and filled our faces with fish and chips it was back to the grind of home league matches. It didn’t work out too badly either and with only five weeks left for us to try and save our place in the top division of the Thursday Friendly League we needed to be at our best (well sort of).
Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Home – Youlgrave – 28 July – 6.30pm.
In the away fixture earlier in the season we lost by quite a margin and following last week’s match we had dropped down to sixth place in the league even though we had won. A good score was needed to get us back and what a score we got. After Dawn’s television commitments she turned on the style with Dot (having also learnt to walk on water) and the dynamic duo won 21 – 0, what a score. Not to be outdone Edith and Sue A also turned in a fabulous score winning 21 – 4. Harry B and Tony A had a poor win!! Only winning by 21 – 7 another great score. Dennis and Clara E narrowly lost 21 – 16. The overall result worked out in the end Parwich 79, Youlgrave 32. We were 5 points behind our opponents, but this result will put us some way ahead of them and may even put us back up a further place or two.
Next match- Away – Bakewell – 4 August – 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Whitworth Park – 30 July – 1.45pm.
As you know we are propping up the division and Whitworth Park are quite a way ahead of us in the league and although we did not win any of the three doubles we were in touching distance of them at only 63 to 44 down. Could our singles players do the business for us? Well out of the six singles we won five and the one we lost we only lost by 2 points. You see not only does herself (Dawn) sort out matters in the Tuesday League she can also get the job done on Thursdays as well, winning 15 – 4. Adding up the scores we finished 88 – 58, giving us a really good win by 132 – 121. Next week we play at the Golf Club and struggle there; keep your fingers for us.
Next match – Away – Matlock Golf Club – 6 August – 1.45pm.
Because of the inclement weather the friendly against Ashbourne Park was postponed. Not sure if we will have enough time to re-arrange the game.

Thank you Keith Parsons, of Fernlea House and a former BBC producer, for sending us this link to his documentary exploring the issues of life after death:
It is always interesting to hear what residents and former residents have been up to.
Although outside our area, this is strongly endorsed by a local resident. Apologies Keeley for the delay in posting it, but we were waiting to get a response from all of us on the Team before publishing.
I’ve been going to cobraFit for almost a year now and feel fitter, healthier and in better shape than I’ve ever done. CobraFit is suitable for both men & women and covers a wide range of ages. The eldest person being 71!
If you’re interested why not try a ‘taster’? Contact Alison for more details – quoting the Parwich website.
I am still in need of empty wine bottles to be used in a game at a fund raising event. If you live in Parwich and have any which I can collect before they go for recycling this week I would be most grateful. Please ring Margaret R- 390369
