LPG boiler servicing
As a number of people in Parwich, we have an LPG boiler, and have had mixed experiences in getting it serviced every year. There seem to be fewer qualified engineers around locally who can offer this, but I wonder if anyone has a good reliable LPG engineer recommendation they could offer?
Thanks
Graham and Amanda

We are moving to Creamery Lane at the end of the month, I wondered if anyone has had experience of using a “Vodafone Sure Signal” device in their homes to boost the reception for Vodafone or Orange mobiles (currently no signal at all). We are aware that we will get a good 02 signal in the house but as we all still have existing contracts with Vodafone and Orange, I am investigating to see if we can avoid having to have two contracts each for the next year!!I can be contacted at Lynn.comley1@gmail.com if any one has any experience of this.Many thanksLynn & Nigel

We have a (Bosch) dishwasher crisis in Tom’s Barn! Can anyone recommend someone who might be able to help, please? It still goes through the cycle but the water isn’t heating up so dishes remain unwashed … We’ll contact Bosch but we’d like to get things sorted as soon as possible and suspect that may take some time. The machine is out of guarantee.Thank you!

Our Weatherman in the Village says:
Following on from a long relatively dry spell, Saturday night brought some much needed rain for the gardens. The week ahead looks like there isn’t much persistent rain on the horizon, but it will feel a little cooler and fresher. There is some showery weather forecast toward the end of the week.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
We are still short of a wheelbarrow, but there you go, however we are in grave danger of moving up the division of the leagues we play in. We will have to start losing.
Matlock Tuesday bowls league.
Home – Matlock Bath – 8 July.
We shared the games two each, but thankfully the two we lost were by not so great a margin as Matlock. We also have an Edith and Rick. How do they do it. They won by 21 – 2. In the other three games Tony and Sue won 21 – 17 and Harry and Dennis also were close, only just losing. The overall score finished 71 to Parwich and 61 to Matlock Bath. We are currently fourth in the league so we will have to take care we do not get promoted, well not unless we get a heap of new players.
- Next match – Away – Chatsworth B – 15 July – 6.30pm.
Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Away – Matlock Park – 10 July.
I am certain I saw Her Majesty peeping over the wall to watch us play bowls, well I think it was her. If it was her then she would have seen a rampant Parwich. Believe it or not we lost all three doubles games and yet we were only 4 points down trailing 63 – 59, what a great result. In the singles we did even better winning 5 out of the 6 games. Harry B winning 15 – 2, Tony A and Rick M winning 15 – 3, and it carried on from there. The final result in the singles was 84 – 34, what a match. The overall result was Parwich 143, Matlock 97. I bet the Queen was impressed.
- Next match – Home – Whitworth Park- 17 July – 1.45.
We are playing one of our friendly games this Sunday. Come down and see what you are missing. 2.00pm Parsons Croft.
John B.

Hello Possums,
Well our World Cup hopes may have evaporated, but we still have one Brit left with a fighting chance in the men’s tennis, Jock O’ Vitch.
A pub burglar in Accrington, Lancs stole three televisions and two cash registers from the Railway Inn, which he stashed outside whilst he returned to continue his crime spree. However, when he returned, the items had been taken by another thief. The man after being sentenced to nine months in jail told the judge that any vestige of faith in human nature that he possessed had been eradicated by this incident. No honour among thieves, eh.
A disgruntled customer dialed 999 to complain that staff refused to inform him of the contents of his burger. The man was politely but firmly told to take his beef elsewhere as this was by no means a police matter.

The rain cloud on Tuesday evening certainly wasn’t welcomed by the runners, but it did result in some interesting photos. Firstly here are three by David G taken from the village:

This afternoon I witnessed a female blackbird stalk, catch, kill and eat a shrew. In Church Farm garden, a small shrew was having a feast of insects and grubs amongst leaf litter and well rotted manure, when it was seized from behind by the female blackbird, who killed it by repeatedly picking it up and dashing it on a hard surface. She then avidly consumed it.
Does anyone know if this is usual?

All is set fair for our two-hour (10.30-12.30) trip on Cromford Canal on Wednesday 9th July. Let’s hope we have a sunny day!
We have booked 20 ‘Seniors’ seats on the canal boat for a two hour trip (10.30-12.30) at a cost of £4.00 each. It look as though we may have two spare places, if anyone (male or female, all are welcome!) would like to join us please give me a ring on 519…
After the boat ride we plan to have lunch together at Wheatcroft’s Wharf, the café and bookshop beside the canal. They sell soup, salads, quiches, paninis, sandwiches and cakes etc. Unfortunately they don’t take advance bookings, so we can’t make any firm arrangements.
There is a pleasant walk along the canal, and some of us may fancy doing that afterwards, or perhaps exploring the mill or the shops at the mill across the road.The plan is that everyone will be meeting on the green at 9.30ish on Wednesday morning to arrange sharing lifts etc, aiming to leave Parwich at about 9.45, to give us plenty of time.There is a car park close to the canal.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLS CLUB
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.
John B.
