Two wins this week and one against a team who are second in the division. Still no let up in having to play in fur lined wellies most of the time though.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Home – 10 July – Chatsworth.
Chatsworth are nearly top of the league and soundly beat us on their green earlier in the season. However, we were able to take our revenge on our green. We won three out of the four games. Although we have managed to win a few games now we have not been scoring heavily and in the league its points that win prizes. Anyway a win is a win and we did it by 73 points to 58. We were exactly half way in the division and I don’t think we will move up from there.
Next match – Away – Bradwell -17 July 6.30pm.
Thursday League.
Home – Matlock Bath – 12 July.
Matlock were one place below us in the league before this match and the result will keep us there. We won two out of the three doubles but were still behind 45 to 48. Again our singles players did really well winning four out of the six games giving us an overall win 119 to 111. I think this win will keep us in our middle place in the league. To cap it all the sun shone as well!
Next match – Away – Whitworth Park – 19 July – 1.45pm.
We have a friendly match down at Parsons Croft this Sunday, we are entertaining Ashbourne Park. Come along and have a cup of tea with us all. 2.00pm Sunday.

One win one loss this week and we actually played one match in sunshine! Glad I didn’t buy a ticket for Silverstone though.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Away – 3 July – Matlock Park.
Whist we are mid table in the league Matlock are third from top. We gave a good account of ourselves however. We won two games and Matlock won two. Their wins, however, were by bigger margins than ours. The final score was Matlock 70 Parwich 64. Hopefully we won’t drop too much in the league.
Next match – Home – Chatsworth A -10 July 6.30pm.
Thursday League.
Away – Matlock Park – 5 July.
A week or so ago we were playing Wirksworth every match now it’s Matlock Park. Having lost on Tuesday it did not augur well. No need for doubt. We won the doubles games two one and the singles games 4 to 2. The final tally was Parwich 131 to 103. A great result. We were again half way in the league. Let us hope that these last two good wins will move us up a bit.
Next match – Home – Matlock Bath – 12 July – 1.45pm.
No Sunday match again this week, because of the weather we cancelled it. It was also a shame we did not manage to have some fun on Friday night during wakes week. Better luck next year.
Debbie W, who works for the British Red Cross locally, writes:
Following the collection we had in Parwich for Red Cross Week, I just wanted to pass on a huge thank you from our Community Fundraiser, Alex Gadsby. This is what Alex had to say:
“The amounts raised in Red Cross Week via the shops have just come out. Donations for the Matlock store helped to raise a massive £270! This is amazing and I’m 100% certain it wouldn’t have been nearly as much without your support.”
Thanks very much for everyone who contributed to this worthwhile cause; I’m hoping to make it an annual event!
If anyone in the village wants to do any other type of fund raising event for the British Red Cross, I know Alex would love to hear from you.
If anyone has a copy of the race results, could they please mail the blog team on parwich@hotmail.co.uk?
We would also be grateful for any other photos and/or reports from Wakes Week 2012, as the blog team is suffering from an unfortunately timed “staffing shortage” this week.
6.30pm – Children’s Film Show in the Memorial Hall.
On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world’s biggest Muppet fan, and his friends Gary and Mary from Smalltown, USA, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman to raze the Muppet Theatre and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets’ former stomping grounds. To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10 million needed to save the theatre, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate.
If you would like lunch on Monday, 12.45pm at the Memorial Hall, please ring Val K (458) by Friday evening. The menu this month is Ham Salad followed by Jam Roly Poly and Custard. As long as Val knows in advance she can cater for vegetarians and various diets. She can even accommodate thoses who don’t like what is on the menu for that month, but only with notice.
Whist drive will start at 8pm in the Memorial Hall and is intended for all ages. If you have never played before, come along at 7.30pm for free tuition in the easiest of card games. Enjoy a sociable and entertaining evening.
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.
