PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
Why do people take things so literally, we only wanted to lose the occasional match not to disappear into a losing spiral. Well at least we won one match this week.
Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Home – Youlgrave – 5 Aug.
When we played at Youlgrave earlier in the year we played in a thunderstorm, one of the few times this year when this has occurred. It even tried to rain here this week, perhaps it would have been better had it done so. Harry B and Val K fought back well to win 21 – 17. Similarly Tony A and Dennis E lost narrowly 21 – 16. After two games only one point in it. The two final games ended 21 – 7 to Youlgrave (enough said) with Rick M and Edith R pulling out all the stops in their usual inimitable fashion to repeat a win for us 21 – 7. We therefore just lost the match by one point 65 – 66.
- Next match – Away – Matlock Golf Club – 12 August – 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Chatsworth A – 7 August.
We had been doing quite well in this league until last week’s painful loss, so we needed to get back into the swing of things this week. Our three doubles pairs did us proud winning two games to one and giving us a lead of 56 to 50.
As you avid readers of this scintillating copy will know our singles players do, more often than not, keep us in the match and quite often give us the winning edge. Thankfully they came through for us again this week winning four of the six games and only narrowly losing a fifth. This gave us a score of 78 – 66. The final overall result was 134 – 116 to Parwich. An excellent turnaround from last week. We had dropped down to fourth in the league after the loss so hopefully this win will give us a chance to go up a place.
No match next week in this league as it is the annual charity game to provide as much money as possible for the Greenaway centre in Darley Dale. Keep your fingers crossed for good weather. In the past Parwich players have done quite well in this competition let’s hope the trend continues.
- Next match – Away – Greenaway Competition – 14 August.
On Sunday we are playing a Club competition – Ladies and Men’s singles. Not sure the weather is going to be good though. See you down at Parsons Croft about 2.00ish. The kettle will be on.

As an Alsop myself, I made a backpacking trip in 2008 across Europe, and had to stop at Alsop en le Dale. I was peaking over the fence of the hall when a woman asked if she could help me. Understandably looking suspicious, I explained my situation. She showed me the church because I had previously not pushed hard enough on the door, and presumed it locked. The woman lived in the farmhouse right next to the church and offered to let me come to her home for tea. She made my trip to Alsop en le Dale spectacular. I wonder if there’s a way to send a thank you note to the kind woman that I met that day, as well as make a small contribution to the church.
Thank you,
Michael Alsop

Parwich commemorated the centenary of the start of World War I, perhaps the darkest four years of the twentieth century, with an exhibition, a talk and a moving service at the War Memorial.
Some 80 Parwich men served in the Arm Forces during WWI, the Exhibition included details and photographs of some of those that the History Society and Parwich Legion have managed to identify from local knowledge and newspapers of the time. More need to identified, so if you know of anyone who served, have any stories or have photographs do get in touch.

Some photos of the Junior Races, though persuading a horse not to join in with the races has interfered with some of these shots.

Here are the pictures taken by our roving photographer who, as usual, took up position at the top of the steepest hill so all runners would look their best. Well done to everyone!

After tonight’s Parwich Panoramic Five things usually go quiet on the Blog until the start of the School term and Annual Flower & Vegetable Show in early September, though this year we do have the Local Authority sponsored Family Games events. However if you have any suggestions or photographs of things to do or places to go in August do email them to parwich@hotmail.co.uk and we can share them on the Blog.
Here are a few photographs I have taken yesterday and today at Arbor Low, Robin Hood’s Stride and Hobhurst Cave in Deepdale. These are on my list of places to take visitors, so, as I now have visited them quite often, I am looking forward to getting ideas of new places to add to the list.

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 ?
