PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
So we managed to finish on a winning note in one league this week and the win in the other league keeps us on course to still get promoted. The difference this year has been the two new members we had, Sue and Tony A. Would that we could get a few more NEW MEMBERS.
Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Home – Ashwood Park – 2 September.
Last match of the season in this league and we wanted to end on a high. With some great play from Harry B and John B this was achieved, they won 21 – 5. Another win was Dennis and Clara E who sorted out the opposition 21 – 16. Although we lost the other two games our scores were such that we came out on top 76 – 63. We were fifth in the league before this match and our score will ensure that we stay in that position, up a place from last year. What will we do on a Tuesday evening? Watch the inevitable repeats on the idiot’s lantern.
Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Whitworth Park – 4 September.
Now the very scary thing is that three teams get promoted from this league and we are third, and after today’s result we should stay there. Our doubles teams winning well two of the three games and giving us a ten point lead 58 – 48. In the singles we won 5 out of the six games, with Sue A scoring best 15 – 5. The final score was 85 – 50. Because we were one player short (11 instead of 12) we had to accept a 3 point penalty. Thankfully this did not affect the final score which was Whitworth Park 98, Parwich 140. Only one more match to play, against the team who are second in the league. Should be interesting.

Hello Possums,
Good news, the Parwich blog Nature Watch presenters, in conjunction with Weedkiller Weekly’s Hornythilogical team, will be publishing a lavishly illustrated calendar for 2015, entitled “Birds getting out of the bath“. Photo shoots will be held at the Legion, on a date to be confirmed. Interested?
There is still no sign of the large bouncy castle that disappeared from The Bentley Brook Hotel, prior to a family bank holiday fun day. The organizer and proprietor, Joe, told Weedkiller’s Raving Reporter that, not only did it prove a great disappointment for the children, the helium used to inflate it was extremely expensive.
Weedkiller’s’ film pick of the month: “The Blair Rich Project“.
Healthy food recommendation: Greek alphabettti spaghetti, rich in Omegas.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
Talk about ‘after the Lord Mayors show’, great one game awful in the other. Still only one match left in one league and two in the other.
Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Away – Chatsworth – 26 August.
So Chatsworth are second in the division and we are fifth. After this match we will be very lucky if our position stays the same. We did not win one game! Only Tony A and John B got close losing 21 – 20. They did actually purposely lose as one of our opponents empties the refuse bins. We thought that if we won then who knows what could have happened to the villages refuse situation! Another incredible happening also occurred in the match which was Rick and Edith losing. I know it is difficult to believe, but it did happen. The final result was Chatsworth 84, Parwich 51. It is probably just as well that we only have one match left in this League.
Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Baslow – 28 August.
At present we are third in this league and today’s result will hopefully keep us there. We more than held our own in the doubles finishing just 9 points down. In the singles we missed getting a maximum score by one point, 89 out of a possible 90. The final result was Parwich 135, Baslow 105.
Only two matches left and if we carry on like this we may get promoted. Little Parwich in the top division that would be quite a result considering our lack of players.

Thank you John F-S for what I think is our first bat photo here at parwich.org. But why was it out and about on a Wednesday lunch time?

This racing pigeon appeared during the rain yesterday morning. In the afternoon I found it in my kitchen trying to open a bag of bird seed. It would only go outside when I took the bird seed out. It is getting on well with my cat, but is reluctant to move out of the way so I can use the car. As the weather is beginning to deteriorate again this evening, it wants to come back into the house.

Katy at Village Games says “the teacher says it is very much free style and will be adapted to the participants which turn up however saying that is aimed more at the parents and children (mummies and daughters dancing together etc) rather than an experienced dancer, however that’s not to say we could not introduce a further session, should there be the interest in the village.”
