Hill Race Results Summary 2013

Thursday July 4, 2013 by Peter T

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.

CP2

The quickest home in the Junior Race was D Evans in 12min 32sec, faster than his winning time of 13min 12sec last year.

Parwich Panoramic Five

Wednesday July 3, 2013 by Peter T

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.

Tonight’s Pilates Cancelled

Wednesday July 3, 2013 by Peter T

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.

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.

Wanted: help with Pippin!

Monday July 1, 2013 by Fiona H

lilac time 002Just when I was thinking everything was going well, Pippin has decided that she doesn’t want to be milked! If anyone could spare me about 10 minutes in a morning around 8 am or to suit, to hold her tail up while I milk her I should be very grateful. I am hoping this would only be for a couple of weeks.

Not Quite Over Parwich

Sunday June 30, 2013 by Peter T

Following our request yesterday, thank you for these Red Arrows photos taken shortly before their Parwich fly past; one by only a couple of minutes, but the other by a couple of months:

Hello to all,

The first photo was taken quickly as the Red Arrows flew over Nottingham in a flash, on the way to Parwich.
Red Arrows Nottingham
The second photo I took down in London on the day of the Trooping of the Colour.
Red Arrows London
Hope you all had a good day yesterday.

Pam & I have visited Parwich on a number of occasions & have always been made very welcome with the friendliness of all.

Kind regards
Pam & John
Arnold, Nottingham

However does anyone have any photos taken closer to the Parade? Also can anyone resolve the conflicting claims of the Oddfellows and the Carnival & Recreation Committee as to who organised this mini local airshow?

Weather Stats: Sun 23rd to Sat 29th June

Sunday June 30, 2013 by Peter T

20130630-121147.jpg

Our Weatherman in the Village says:

What a difference a day makes! It’s a good job Wakes Saturday wasn’t Wakes Friday, as we’d all have got very wet. Thankfully the weather was kind, and got better through the day. The outlook for the rest of Wakes Week is pretty good – looking dry for today (Sunday), Monday and Tuesday. There is some possibility of rain on Wednesday, but the chances are better conditions are in prospect for the end of the week. Temperatures look like being a little cooler than average, but at least it looks dry for a few days.

The Service is followed by an opportunity to sit and chat, with tea and coffee provided by the campers.

Bowling Slow Down

Friday June 28, 2013 by Peter T

Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club

Poor week this week. We played teams who we had beaten in the first half of the season quite comprehensively only to lose by virtually the same margin in the reverse fixture. It’s a funny old game!

Matlock Tuesday League.
Away – Matlock Park – 25 June.

Thank goodness we have Edith and Rick, they managed to come from well behind to win their game 21 – 15. Unfortunately all our other three doubles pairs came a cropper, although two of the games were very close. We are languishing down towards the bottom of the division and this result will not make things any better. Next week we play the team top of the league. Keep your fingers crossed.

  • Next match – Home – Bradwell – 2 July 6.30pm.

Matlock Thursday Friendly League.
Home – Lafarge, Hope – 27 June.

Although we lost we did have some good games in the match. You may recall, or not as the case may be, that we had two new members join the club. The first new members for three years. Anyway this was their first foray into league matches and they did really rather well. Audrey B and Tony A won their game by the fabulous score of 21 – 8, whilst Sue A and Dennis E narrowly lost 21 – 14. What a start for them and us.

We shared the singles games three each, but our opponents in the matches that we won had better scores than our players in the games we lost, if you can understand that. The final score was therefore 127 Lafarge and 111 to Parwich. We were fifth in the division, but we may well drop a place or two after this result.

  • Next match – Home – Whitworth – 4 July – 1.45pm.

No game this weekend because of Wakes Week. Keep your fingers crossed that the weather is kind to us.

John B.
