The jet stream remains too far south, bringing poor weather systems over the Atlantic, so it looks as though next week will be a case of “same again”. Wednesday could be the best of a poor lot. SORRY!!!

As you’ll see from these photos, Saturday evening’s rain failed to dampen the spirits of those who took part in this year’s Wakes Carnival Parade, where villagers were joined by the Ilkeston Town Band and, of course, the “happy campers” from Notts D.A.

The weather was kind for today’s Odd Fellows procession. There was an excellent turn out too, both from the village and from members of Odd Fellows groups from several other regions. Everyone was made very welcome by the various hosts along the route where refreshments were provided. A very pleasant event indeed!

Ashbourne was really busy with pavements full of people waiting for the Olympic Torch. The lighting of the second torch took place outside the Town Hall.

We are writing to you all from Stepping Stones Pre–School, Parwich to let you know following an Open meeting on Monday 25 June 2012 the sad decision was taken to close Stepping Stones Pre–School, Parwich from Friday 20 July 2012.
We have placed adverts, asked for donations and held various Open Meetings to try and come up with ideas to keep the Pre–School going but this has been unsuccessful. The main factor is that we do not have enough children to keep us going resulting in our outgoings being far greater than our income.
We would like to thank the people and parents that came to the Open Meetings to try and help us, the members of the local community that have offered help and the blog team for posting all our information on the blog.
Thank you
The Committee of Stepping Stones Pre – School

The weather again played quite a part in this week’s matches. Thankfully we had our webbed feet on again.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Away – 26 June – Wirksworth.
The matches with Wirksworth are proving odd. This week we were away, but managed to win on their green. Considering it is one of the biggest greens in the league, no mean feat. To cap it all, we won by a greater margin away than we did last week at home!
We shared the games two each, but – as the saying goes – points mean prizes, and we got more, coming out winners by 70 to 56. As I said last week, although we won our points ‘for’ were low, and indeed we did drop a place in the league. With this again relatively low score, we may fall again. Now down to 7th.
Next match – Away – Matlock Park -3 July 6.30pm.
Thursday League.
Home – Chatsworth – 28 June.
We had to wait for the water on the green to dissipate before we could play; it was like a swimming pool. When we did get started, we really played well. This fixture at Chatsworth at the start of the season was not a good result for us. However, everybody played so well in the this match that we won all three doubles games, coming out on top 63 to 43.
In the six singles we won four out of six, giving us a score of 75 to 36. The overall match total was 138 to Parwich, 79 to Chatsworth, more than making up for the early season defeat.
Next match – Away – Matlock Park – 5 July – 1.45pm.
No Sunday match again this week, as it’s Wakes Week. Make sure you come and see us on Friday night to have a go, as part of the week’s celebrations. Have a good week.

There were some massive rain drops this afternoon during the torrential rain. It would be interesting to know how much rain fell.

Eleven Parwich households opened their gardens to visitors today, and thankfully the rain was kept at bay all the way through the afternoon – a rare stroke of luck, indeed!
This week’s Ashbourne News Telegraph – copies of which are still available – carried a full page colour preview of the event, with photos taken from previous years, and perhaps this helped to encourage what felt like a healthy turn-out of visitors.
This year’s delayed summer also meant that we were able to see these gardens at a somewhat earlier stage of development, with poppies, lupins, peonies and aquilegeas all providing unexpected splashes of colour.
Thanks are due to the Parwich & District Horticultural Society for organising the event, which also included cream teas and a plant stall at the Memorial Hall, as well as the childrens’ show of paintings and plants.
If any of our readers has photographs of the childrens’ show, we would be delighted to receive them. In the meantime, here are a selection of shots from this year’s gardens, all of which can be clicked to enlarge.

Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club
By a quirk in the bowls fixtures mega computer, we play Wirksworth quite a few times in the next few days. Three to be precise, but first congratulations to Edith Rider and Dawn Allsopp for winning the Open Doubles last Sunday, beating Rick Manning and Pat Barnett in a very close final. Having lost both matches last week, thankfully we are back to winning ways, albeit only just.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Home – 19 June – Wirksworth.
I suppose a win is a win, but this was close. Both teams won two games each. Fortunately the points tally was just in our favour. We scraped through 66 to 63. We were exactly half way in the division, but I think this low scoring win will drop us down a place or two. I have no doubt that Wirksworth will seek to extract some revenge against us in next week’s match.
Next match – Away – Wirksworth -26 June 6.30pm.
Thursday League.
Away – Wirksworth – 21 June.
We were very lucky with the weather on Thursday afternoon. Missed the rain altogether. Perhaps we should flip a coin for the doubles games, as we never seem to get it together. Today was no exception. We lost two out of the three games, giving a score of 58 to 43 to our opponents.
In the singles we not only managed to address the 15 point deficit, but change it to a 20 point advantage, winning 69 to 49. The overall result was a win to Parwich by 112 to 107.
Next match – Home – Chatsworth – 28 June – 1.45pm.
No Sunday match this week as it’s Open Gardens, so make sure you buy a programme and a delicious cream tea. Enjoy the day.

Regarding our recent “Does anyone know Lesley?” post, we received this message today:
With the help of the ‘Parwich’ website, two people made contact with information about Lesley, resulting in her being tracked down. Although I personally haven’t spoken to Lesley, I am reliably informed that one of the organisers of our school reunion managed to make contact and that Lesley will be attending the reunion on 7th July. So, thank you for enabling a good outcome!

Ashbourne (entertainment from 4pm)
Local schools will join in the festivities in Ashbourne, starting from 4pm.
Entertainment includes a Caribbean band and arts exhibition at the Town Hall, dancing in the Market Place, the Highland Gathering Pipe Band and what is expected to be the largest collection of Royal Shrovetide balls, goalers and turners up in the 1000-year plus history of the ancient game, followed by a Shrovetide Procession led by Ashbourne Town Band and the Chairman of the District of the Derbyshire Dales Cllr Tony Millward.
Look out too for District Council sports activities outside Waitrose, community dancing in Compton and Ashbourne Singers in Victoria Square. Please note: to accommodate the entertainment, Dig Street will be closed from 4pm.
At 6pm, the Torch will arrive in Ashbourne at the top of Buxton Hill, then travel through the Market Place, turn right onto St John Street (against the usual one-way flow) and left into Dig Street, working through to Compton. The Relay will revert to convoy mode at the bottom of Derby Road.
Space for children to watch the Torch Relay has been allocated in the town centre – please respect the designated schools’ viewing area.
After leaving the Derbyshire Dales the Torch Relay makes its way to Derby for an evening celebration – details online at derby.gov.uk.

The team behind BBC1’s Countryfile is planning to film at The Sycamore Inn on Monday 25 June.
The progamme’s researcher, Claire Bindell, tells us:
We’re making a film about the challenges facing village pubs and at The Sycamore we’re going to show how Janet runs a lovely pub that’s helping and serving the local community. We’ll be filming with a small crew and with our presenter Tom Heap!
We’re looking for members of the community, or anyone who wants to really, to come along to The Sycamore Inn on the evening of Monday 25th June. We’d love to speak to a few people and talk about (on camera) what is great about having a pub in the village and the kind of services it provides.
For people who don’t want to talk on camera, we’re looking for people just to be in the pub, in the background and be happy to be on TV if they happen to come into shot!

The condition of the roundabout on the children’s play area in the village has deteriorated through age, to the stage where its continued use has been called into question. The Parish Council is actively seeking to have the roundabout repaired or replaced.
This evening, a member of the Parish Council and a volunteer attempted to remove the defective parts for repair, but they found that this was not going to be possible without the use of a mechanical lift.
The roundabout has been left in a safe state, albeit with the central pillar removed and tape applied around it to discourage usage, until this can be arranged later this week.
In the meantime, it would be very much appreciated if parents could ask their children not to use the roundabout until it has been fully repaired.
If anyone has any questions, please contact Matt Harrison.
Many thanks, on behalf of the Parish Council.
