So after 24 years disaster has struck the Bowls Club, the second hand wheelbarrow we had at the start has given up the ghost. They don’t make ‘em very well do they. Anyway has anybody got a wheelbarrow they don’t want or use, because we could certainly give it a good home? Down to more mundane things like bowls we had two good wins.
Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Away – Bakewell – 1 July.
Very unusual green, as I have said no such thing as a crown on the green, just lots of ripples. We managed to win three of the four games with John B and Dennis E winning 21 – 10. Dawn and Dot also came in well with a 21 – 11 win. For once Rick and Edith, although they won, were not as sure as usual, but a win is a win. The overall score was Parwich 72, Bakewell 56. Hopefully this will maintain our fourth place in the league.
Next match – Home – Matlock Bath – 8 July – 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Chatsworth – 3 July.
Having played our best match last week we hoped that we would keep up the good form this week. The match did not start well for us as we only managed to win one of the three doubles games. Still we were just about in touching distance trailing 62 – 48. The singles did not start well either as we lost the first two games, however the games were close. The last three games gave us the edge with Rick M winning 15 – 1 and Dawn A 15 – 3. The score was 83 – 55 to Parwich. This gave us an overall result of 131 – 117.
In next week’s match we are being given Royal patronage as we are playing in Matlock Park. (Well the Queen is visiting Matlock on that day and we can dream!). Anybody got any ideas on Parking?
Next match – Away – Matlock Park – 10 July – 1.45pm.
DON’T FORGET WE COULD REALLY DO WITH A NEW(ER) WHEELBARROW.
This is the last lunch before the Summer break, this month’s menu is looking even tastier than usual (if that is possible), so don’t forget to phone Val today to book your place:

The evening started with fantastic weather, but as the preparations for the Junior Race began, a heavy shower settled over Parwich. This made conditions very slippery, and the rain only began to abate as the last runners reach the summit of the Hill. It was very impressive to see particularly the younger children battling the steep slope and the heavy rain together.
A burglary occurred at a farm near Parwich on Friday 27th June between 10am and 1pm. The offender entered through an unlocked kitchen door and took an iPad left nearby. If you have any information or saw anything suspicious contact the Volume Crime Team on 101, quoting crime number 27116/14.
The children’s film on Thursday will now be the very popular Disney film Frozen (not the LEGO movie as advertised). The film will start at 6.30pm at the Memorial Hall, snacks will be available. Come and sing along to the “coolest comedy-adventure ever to hit the big screen”.
The Carnival Committee are looking for some fine hen specimens to take part in the hen racing at the legion on Friday night. If you have the next Red Rum of hens then contact lucywigley@googlemail.com
There were a number of broken glasses on the Green and by the playground. The early morning cleaning elves have tried to pick up all the pieces, but parents make sure children take care until the Greens have been mowed several times, pushing any small pieces into the ground.
Stall holders are preparing for today’s Village Market and Stall Trail, so look out for lots of fun and bargains between 11am and 4pm. The Market is on the Green, where you can also pick up the maps for the Sale Trail (look out for the balloons as you go round).
The Legion will be open from midday on Wakes Saturday.
On Sunday we will be open after the ‘fun and games with the campers’ – this can be anywhere between 1pm and 3pm – please phone 390501 if you want to check if we are open.
All other days we are open as normal from 6pm.
In addition to our usual range of snacks (crisps, nuts, mini cheddars etc.) we will have the following available on Wakes Saturday:
No new humans have landed on the green this Monday, must have been a good football match on the idiots lantern. Thinking about it that is a contradiction in terms. Anyway back to a proper game, one and a half wins this week.
Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Home – Wirksworth – 24 June.
The fixtures computer threw a wobbly this week as we played Wirksworth twice. At present they are just ahead of us in the league and we needed a good result. Although we won three out of the four games the one we lost was by some margin, hence the half win, it was a draw 70 points each. This of course will not improve our position in any way and may, dependent on how teams below us do, drop us a place or two. Difficult match next week against a team second in the league. Still we are just about holding our own.
Next match – Away – Bakewell – 1 July – 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Wirksworth – 26 June.
We very nearly had a hat full in this match, even though we were a player short. For once our doubles pairs showed how they can play the game, winning two out of the three games and only just losing the third. We won all six of the singles games with John H the pick of the bunch winning 15 – 1, Dawn and Rick coming a close second. Because we were one player short we had to deduct 3 points from our score, but even so this still gave us an aggregate of 148 – 82, what a win, only 5 points away from a maximum. Don’t think we will have the same result next week though.
Next match – Home – Chatsworth – 3 July – 1.45pm.
Great result also from Open Gardens last week, let us hope we have an equally good time during Wakes Week.
If you haven’t already done so, please let Fiona (191) or Christine (370) know by Wednesday 25 June if you would like to have a stall for the sale trail. We intend producing a basic map showing those involved and will put balloons up outside those addresses.
You can sell anything, from outside your own house and at no cost. What have you got to lose?
Oddfellows, if you would like a red rose buttonhole for the parade on wakes Saturday and have not yet ordered, please do so by 8pm on Wednesday 25th June. The buttonholes are priced at £3.50 and shall be available for collection from outside the Sycamore Inn on the morning of the parade.
