As festival-goers pack their tents and start to think about the real world again, they can look back on a classic weekend of music and fun. From the pyrotechnic onslaught of Dizzie to the relaxing acoustic tents. From hilarious paint/mud-related encounters to the secret rave tent that only The Grannies could help you find (“It’s behind the bookcase. Shhh!”). From King Pleasure’s triumphant swing set to the jaw-dropping beatboxing of Shlomo. Y Not had it all!
See you next year!

Our Weatherman in the Village says:
The weather pattern has definitely changed to a more unsettled state, with showers looking likely in the coming week. The weather conditions for the Parwich Panoramic Five race on Tuesday evening look like being changeable with some showers forecast and average temperatures for the time of year which will suit the runners.

Hello Possums
Reported sightings of U.F.O’s are on the increase with some very convincing eye witness accounts and photographic evidence. Personally I believe these chaps should steer well clear of planet Earth. If indeed they do have the capability to cover infinite distances in space, they are most likely far more intelligent than the human race and would not wish to get embroiled in the progressive destruction of our planet, ongoing territorial and religious conflicts, genocide, famine, drought, disease over fishing, gradual destruction of natural habitats of wild animals, decimation of vital rain forests, unsustainable populations, and … the list goes on. We are not alone, or are we?
On a lighter note, Prince Charles is seeking a versatile gardener for his Highgrove estate. The successful applicant will be required to work a forty hour week with extra duties at weekend on a rota basis, to include topiary, hedge, shrub and lawn maintenance, emptying ash trays, weed control and reading bed time stories to One’s plants. There is a competitive salary with all the benefits that one would expect as a royal employee, but in keeping with the Princes’ frugal existence the hourly luncheon break will be unpaid.

What’s big, has 30,000 legs and wades through mud? Friday at Y Not was buzzing despite the slightly inclement weather. The festival was alive with great bands and a great atmosphere. Our roving reporter particularly enjoyed the mighty Kog and the Zongo Brigade – what a performance!
The following review is provided by Matthieu Woods (aged 16), who has travelled from France to attend the festival:
Ynot is the best place on earth. I mean, this was my first festival last year, and I travelled from France for the second time in a row, bringing my sister this time.The reasons for this success are the place, the people and the music (glad about that!). First, Derbyshire is such a great place to set a festival, with its marvellous landscapes and fields that turn into mud a few hours after the festival started – but a festival without any mud wouldn’t be a British festival, right?-, becoming a wellingtons’ gala.Then, English people, especially during ynot, are so cool ! People dancing in the tents, talking together in the toilets queue, recommending bands they know to strangers…Finally, the last but not the least is the fact that these bands that are up and coming, or the guitar-voice people that try to be known, performing in small tents, make such a good music. For what I’ve seen during these couple of days I’ve passed in ynot, everything was brilliant. Even if I wouldn’t listen to all of them in my bedroom, these musicians are at least great on stage.I would recommend this festival to any person who wants to try a festival, but not a huge one. Maybe next year I’ll manage to convince friends to come abroad ?

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
So having said it was getting critical in terms of wins, the Crown Green Bowls genie came out of the bottle and we lost both matches this week – phew! Actually it would be good to play in the higher divisions of the leagues, but we would struggle with the few players we have. How about coming to join us?
Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Away – Whitworth Park – 29 July.
When we played Whitworth at Parwich we only beat them by one point. They took their revenge and inflicted on us only our second defeat of the season. The games were shared two apiece, but their wins were by a greater margin than ours. Rick M and Dennis E, however, tried their darndest and won 21 – 7, the best win by either side. The final score was Whitworth 67, Parwich 63. We were just ahead of them in the league and although we lost we will stay ahead.
Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Matlock Bath – 31 July.
This is a really peculiar green which can be best described as the shape of a fifty pence piece. It has so many humps and hollows that it is very difficult to ‘read’. Because of the lack of rain the green was like a sheet of glass. You only had to gently send the bowl and it went like a rocket into the Derwent.
Things did not bode well for us when we lost the doubles 63 – 31. Our singles players have done us proud this season, but the score to make up was far too much and in the end, although we shared the games three each we still trailed 66 – 65. The final result therefore was Whitworth 129, Parwich 96.
Our own green at Parsons Croft could do with a little water to help the grass for next week otherwise sending a wood in Parwich may well finish up in the Derwent as well.

Thank you to Cheryl W for sending us this piece from the ANT. Does anyone know anything about Cpl J H Robinson? If you have any knowledge of those who volunteered or enlisted, or any stories you have had passed down in your family about life during the WWI period, we should love to hear about it. Don’t forget the talk on Monday evening when Parwich will start it’s work on the WWI in Parwich project.

I wonder if anyone can recommend to us a really good, reliable cleaner, available in Parwich for Friday holiday cottage changeovers? 4-5 hours, demanding standards, pleasant conditions, good pay…!
(To be responsible mainly for Douglas’s Barn, the second of our two 5* Gold Award holiday cottages.)
We’d be very grateful for any recommendations or suggestions, please.
Do phone on 519 or email marion@tomsbarn.co.uk.
Thank you!
Marion

Our Weatherman in the Village says:
The wonderful 2014 summer continues, and rain gauge or not it’s pretty irrelevant.
Some high temperatures were recorded this past week, but the weather has changed into a cooler, fresher pattern, maybe with some showers in the coming week. In the longer term, things look a little more changeable, but not much prolonged rain is forecast.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
Well it’s beginning to get critical now as we are still doing rather well in the league. Fortunately we only had one match this week although the Open Doubles on Thursday was a good afternoon.
Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Home – Buxton Park – 22 July.
As I mentioned last week this team did not beat us in the first half of the season, we never had a look in! So far they are the only team who have inflicted a loss on us. We needed to play at our best as they are also top of the league. The first two games ended one each and the points score was Parwich 35, Buxton 36, couldn’t be closer.
Our illustrious leader and Captain Dawn A, as always more than ably assisted by Dot H, started to pull us ahead and finished up winners by 21 – 15. You do not need me to tell you how the immensely talented Edith and the remorseless Rick did in the final game romping home winners by 21 – 6. Not only did we avenge our defeat of earlier in the season, but won by a handsome 77 – 57. This will not affect the league positions, but will hopefully keep us there or there abouts. We will definitely have to start losing.
Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Blank week this week.
Instead we played our Open Doubles competition. What a great afternoon, not only was the weather good, but the bowls was even better. After some close matches Dennis E and Dawn A came out on top. A good day was had by all. A pity that more people did not see it.
We entertained Ashbourne Park last Sunday and again we had a most enjoyable afternoon. The tea was fabulous and the bowls was even better. You really missed a treat on all counts.
