PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
Now you have been told about the wonders of playing Crown Green Bowls, but in addition to the great venues that we get to, you can also eat out even though you lose the match!
Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Away – Whitworth Park – 21 July – 6.30pm.
This team are vying for promotion to the top division, we on the other hand are attempting to keep our fourth place. We only managed to win one game, but this was the catalyst for the rest of the match. Clara and Dennis E got us off to this good start winning 21 – 11. Great result. Now again you may not believe this but Edith and Rick lost! However, they only lost by 3 points. Pat and John B had a super comeback. At one point they were 16 – 1 down, but came back to again only lose by three points. All of these losses did equate to 72 points. Unfortunately Whitworth scored 74. Now for the good bit, close to Whitworth Park is a very good ‘Chippy’ so having had a game of bowls you can dine out in style with fish and chips!! What a way to drown your sorrows.
- Next match- Home – Youlgrave – 28 July – 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Baslow – 23 July – 1.45pm.
Again this team are second in the league and we, as you wonderful followers of this stuff will know, are bottom, and proud of it. When we play in this league if you turn up you get a game. The rationale is we want to enjoy it. It is the Friendly League after all. Other teams on the other hand only play members who have a reasonable potential of winning, hence we put out 12 players whereas Baslow who have loads of members put out a team of only 10 players. Two people therefore who played in the doubles then played in the singles which may be regarded as an advantage. The chances of us winning this match anyway were small and our attempts unfortunately proved to be the case. A bit of a whinge really, but there you go. We lost 141 – 112, which will still mean we are bottom of the league.
- Next match – Home – Whitworth Park – 30 July – 1.45pm.
A cracking game ensued last Sunday in the ‘square robin’ (I am assured that no animals were harmed in the playing of this game). It was won by Edith and John H. Well done you two. This Sunday we are entertaining Ashbourne Park at Parsons Croft in a friendly. A good afternoon should happen all being well, although the weather may not be kind to us, but we will be there, will you?
John B.
P.S. – Now you are aware that Dawn and Edith are very good bowls players and can nearly walk on water, but you did not know that they are also pundits for the BBC on the NHS – Vis – The Real Peak Practice.
P.P.S. – The really nice bike helmet is still with us. Unfortunately the empty Stella cans and the half eaten cake are no longer with us.

I had been away for a couple of weeks, but when I got home on Sunday evening I noticed my BT broadband has become much more erratic. It is very variable, with download speed varying from 0.1 Mb/s to 7 Mb/s, and surprisingly upload varying too (this week I have recorded speeds between 0.4 and 4 Mb/s).
In part this must relate to the number of households on line as it is slower in the evening. So far, Tuesday afternoon and evening have been the worst, when it was at its slowest with repeated breaks in connection. It was for a while on Tuesday unusable. However, since starting with BT in April, I had previously had a very consistent service.
BT had increased the capacity in the Parwich exchange in April, and attempted to upgrade the service in June, though this failed and left at least one household without any broadband. Is this current blip just effecting BT customers?
I have no wish to go back to my experiences with AOL TalkTalk when I was getting a daily fluctuations in download between 7 Mb/s and 0.001 Mb/s. Was I wrong not to have gone with W3Z?
Peter T
Other Blog Team members report their broadband has slowed recently too. What has been your experience on the Parwich exchange recently? Do we need to contact the BT Press Office to ask for an explaination? Is this effecting only BT customers or are other suppliers involved too? Please let us know about your recent experiences.

Having spent a lovely day sorting out a square robin on the bowling
green a what looks like a newish bike helmet was left over there
presumably last night. I assume the person, or persons were sitting in
the lean-to shed on the green. If the person who has lost/left it
contacts me it will be returned together with the empty Stella Artois
cans! Call 455.

Sam W is on the look out for odd jobs (or even fairly regular ones) over the summer. Dog walking, pet feeding, watering, chicken sitting, lawn mowing, etc. Please contact on 390568.
On a personal note, I can stand referee for Sam as he has reliably pet sat for me over a number of years.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
At present we are hanging on by the skin of our teeth. All the other teams are playing much better than us or are we playing worse? Whatever the outcome you have to tip your hat to your village team. Nobody in the league has fewer members to choose a team from and yet we can very often beat teams with in excess of 50 players.
Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Home – Wirksworth – 14 July – 6.30pm.
There was a person who it is said walked on water and without being too irreverent we have two ladies in our club who can do the same! Dawn A fabulously assisted by Sue A won their game 21 – 2. When you get a result like that you wonder how it is done, I only wish I could do it. Edith playing this week with Tony A also did the business winning 21 – 17. Told you Dawn and Edith were water walkers! John B and Dennis E just missed out, losing by one shot 20 – 21. The final result was Parwich 71, Wirksworth 61. Because of other results last week we had slipped to sixth place in the league, maybe we could move up a place. Next week we play a team close to the top and we are away so we do need perhaps some more divine intervention.
- Next match- Away – Whitworth Park – 21 July – 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Hazelwood – 16 July – 1.45pm.
Hazelwood are one of the ‘massive’ clubs compared to us and we inevitably struggle because of their strength in depth, however on occasions we can get close, even if we don’t win. Liz and John H had a marathon of a game of 28 ends finally coming home to win 21 – 17. Clara E and Harry B also had a very long game, but came up just short 16 – 21. After the doubles we were trailing 47 – 59. Now here is a turn up for the books, we lost 5 out of the 6 singles games, but still came out on top 80 – 77. Can you believe that? Again Dawn A was the star of the show to give us our best win 15 – 6. It does not matter which day of the week it is Dawn does the job. Although we did eventually lose the match 127 – 136 we may well get closer to the people ahead of us. If you recall we are bottom of the league so the only way is up!
- Next match – Away – Baslow – 23 July – 1.45pm.
On Sunday we are playing a club competition, the Square Robin, who thinks these things up? If you want to find out what one of these square robin things is come down to Parsons Croft on Sunday and find out? The game starts at 10.30 in the morning. Hardly up by then, is it daylight at that time in the morning?
John B.

Could this be what Peter T was describing? The water (such as it is) disappears down this hole and can be heard gurgling underground. This was also the site where the digger broke the pipe in the brook last year. Although it was repaired could this be relevant to the water vanishing underground completely at this point or is it just a co-incidence? Fiona H

I have a 5′, extendable to 7′, Georgian reproduction dining table available for anyone who wants to collect it.
Also, an elegant but used, small arm chair that still has a fire certificate attached to it.
