Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club
To coin a phrase or two: ‘Now is the time to say goodbye. Now is the time to yield a sigh until we meet again some sunny day’. Well something had to be said on the last match of the season. It’s a pity we did not end the season with a good win let alone a poor loss!
Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Last match – Away – Chatsworth – 12 September.
Chatsworth are nearly at the top of the league and needed a good win to perhaps secure promotion. We certainly did not hinder their cause. We did not win any of the three doubles games, indeed we were 39 points down before we knew it. Chatsworth 63, Parwich 24.
The singles again gave us valuable points. We won four out of the six games, but our opponents were digging in really well. Although we won the singles the deficit was too great to make up and the final score was Chatsworth 133, Parwich 99. We were approximately half way in the division, but with this heavy defeat we will almost certainly drop some places. Still we should not finish bottom!!
The indoor bowls season starts in early October so if you would like to give bowls a try in the nice warm atmosphere of Ashbourne Bowls Club contact a member of our club. It really is a good game and quite easy to play. The indoor mats are only 45 feet long so you do not have to be as strong as an ox to play.

Hello Possums,
Wait! Hold the front page, Scoop! Scoop! Breaking news: never mind the Syrian crisis, the overcrowded prisons, the unsustainable immigration putting pressure on housing, hospitals, schools and social security… wait for it… Pippa Middleton had a crush on her hockey coach, which deserved front page coverage in most daily newspapers.
The first ever romantic audiobook for chickens has been commissioned by “The Happy Egg Company”, after research revealed that listening to stories encourages broody hens to lay tastier eggs. Although still in the embryonic stage, the plot will revolve around Molly the hen and her quest to woo Clooney, a handsome cockerel. The hens also enjoy operas by Giblet & Sullivan such as The Parrots of Penzance, hymns such as Onward Crispy Soldiers and Bob Dylan’s Lay Lady Lay.

Our weatherman says:
Temperatures are slowly dropping, and the light is definitely autumnal; however, this great summer still hangs on in there. The coming week looks pretty dry and pleasant for the time of year. Still time for that “Indian Summer”…

Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club
Last game of the season in one league, second last in the other. What will we do on Tuesday evenings and Thursday afternoons? What repeats are on the telly?
Matlock Tuesday League.
Home – Matlock Golf Club – 3 September.
Last game of the season. We won all four of the games on the Matlock green so the pressure was on to repeat the win. Down A and Dot H certainly gave us a fabulous start winning 21 – 1. Makes you feel quite sorry for their opponents. (Not). We managed to win two of the other three games quite well, but lost the third. The final score was Parwich 70 to Matlock 54. Good to end on a winning note. Hopefully we will finish about halfway in the league, a good result for such a small club as ours.
Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Last home match – Bradwell – 5 September.
Bradwell are top of the division and are certain to be promoted. We lost quite well on their green in June and although we did not necessarily expect to win we did want to do well on our green. In the three doubles we won one and lost two. Pat B and Sue A did well in their doubles, beating a very good Bradwell pairing. By the end of the doubles we were down 41 to 61. The singles players on our team played a stormer. We won four games and just lost a fifth by one point. This made the singles result 81 to 66 to us. The final score was a small defeat 122 to 127. Not bad against the league winners!
- Next Match – Away – Chatsworth – 12th Sept – 1.45pm

Hello Possums,
523,000 Germans have invaded our shores – but don’t panic, Mr. Mainwaring. Stand down the Warmington-on-Sea home guard; these are tourists with an apparently insatiable appetite for our beaches and coastal paths. Many of them make a pilgrimage to the site where the first Zeppelin was destroyed by specially designed incendiary bullets. Wreaths of sausages are left by visitors, in memory of the millions of Germans, who were banned from scoffing their favourite Bratwurst, as the
cow skins were used in the manufacture of gas containers. So, if you ever wonder why airships have teats, there is your answer.
