Our Weatherman in the Village says:
We hit the magic 30 Celsius yesterday (31.1c recorded at 18:00)!! If you think I’m going to sit inside writing a rambling weather commentary on this beautiful morning – you’re mistaken. Forecast is hot and sunny for the foreseeable………

Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club
After last week’s dismal results we managed to put a couple of good matches together this week.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Home – Bradwell – 2 July.
The weather was not good for tonight’s match. We were only playing bowls what must it have been like for the runners in the Wakes Week hill race? Thankfully suitably adorned in thermal wellies and Long John’s, it is only July after all, we battled on!
Although we shared the games two each our losses were not as great as our opposition. In one game Dawn and Clara only lost by one point and of course we do have our Edith ably assisted by Rick who won 21 – 7. The final score finished Parwich 75 Bradwell 63. This win will hopefully lift us up a place, possibly two in the League.
Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Whitworth – 4 July.
It was a shame we only had a couple of people who came over to the Green on Wednesday night during the fun and games over on Parsons Croft. It is a pity that nobody seems to have any enthusiasm to join the Bowls Club. Anyway, we played again and did really well. In the doubles we only won one game, but still only finished one shot down over the three games. In the singles we came into our own winning four of the six games. Edith again had a stormer, winning 15 – 1. Felt quite sorry for her opponent. You should have tried harder Edith and won 15 – 0! Whitworth Park are a really nice bunch of people, but it was still good to beat them 134 – 109.
On Sunday we have a Club competition down at Parsons Croft at 2.00pm. Come down and have a look.

An excellent evening, despite the unreliable weather, with an increased number of entrants in the Junior Race, and some excellent performances from local youngsters. There was a reduced number of runners in the main Senior Race, which was won by C Patterson in 18min 54sec, slower than his winning time last year (this was over a different course because of the very wet conditions), but faster by 5sec than the 2011 winning time over the same course.
The quickest home in the Junior Race was D Evans in 12min 32sec, faster than his winning time of 13min 12sec last year.
Here are the winners in the various categories: Continue Reading »

The annual Parwich Panoramic Five cross country fell race will take place on Tuesday 6th August at 7:30pm. This is the fifth year of the event, so we’ve a bit to do to clock up the history of our fantastic hill race successfully run again last night. The PP5 event was organized five years ago to help raise funds for the rebuilding of our beautiful Memorial Hall, and is a bit of a legacy of that. Any funds raised on the night either via the entry or raffle will be donated to the Memorial Hall in order to contribute to maintenance and upkeep. In association with the PP5, local Fell Race organizer David Denton puts on a series of popular children’s races starting at 6:30pm. Come along an enjoy an evening of running in Parwich. Starts and ends in front of the Sycamore Inn.

Wed 3rd July both Pilates classes have been cancelled
Due to lots of people going to Wakes week tonight, I have decided there will not be enough people going to be able to run the classes.
No classes on the 8th or 10th of July due to a personal commitment. The final classes of the summer season will be on the 15th and 17th of July.
I will credit people for the cancelled classes.

Yesterday (2nd July 2013) was our busiest day so far here at parwich.org with a total of 6,438 page views. Wakes is always one of our busiest times, and this year is no exception, perhaps helped by the wet weather yesterday evening encouraging people to stay in on their computers. Thank you everyone for your support, but make sure you get out there and enjoy yourselves too.

Thank you Val for this update:
The village lunch on the 8th July will be at 12.15pm and not 12.45pm as normal as there is a funeral at 2pm in the village which some people at the lunch may want to go to.
Thanks
Val K
