Tissington Well Dressing 2012

Another year has passed and it’s Well Dressing time.  Every year I whinge about how cold it is in the barn but maybe because of the awful weather that we have had this spring I am becoming accustomed to it.  However it is still true that it is actually warmer outside than in.  I wrapped up warmly, the long johns have seen their first outing of the year and underneath my sweatshirt I had two thick thermal tops on.

The first day is always spent outlining the design, for some people it may seem monotonous but actually it very therapeutic and relaxing, seeing the picture emerging from the grey clay.

There are always a few hiccups which are rarely obvious once the design has been finished.
The clay has been well puddled but somehow some quite large stones have escaped Edward’s quality control and rise to the surface as you are positioning the coffee beans. Sometimes the edge of the clay collaspes and emergency repairs are needed; out comes the plastering trowel.

I have been busy outlining a rose and leaves on the right hand board. It is quite fiddly and as I want to match up the veins on the leaves with the design on the left hand board I then swap over.  It’s at this point I realise that this part of the picture is not a mirror image. It would have been really obvious to us if it had been left, maybe not to the visitors.  So after lunch Edward erases the outline, the template is flipped over and Margaret shows Edward how to prick out the design.

Bowls – At home this Sunday

Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club

Still can’t put two wins in a week together. One win one loss again.

Matlock Tuesday League. Home – 8 May – Matlock Golf Club.
We have broken our duck at last in this league and against a very good team. Although we shared the games two each we managed to win ours by a greater margin. The overall score was Parwich 76, Matlock 57.Let us hope that this will spur us on to the next match although our opponents are doing considerably better than us.
Next match – Away – Whitworth Park – 6.30pm 15 May.

Thursday League. Home – Matlock Golf Club – 10 May.
As the fixtures draw very often does it pitched us against  the Golf Club again, but in a different league. We have been going really well in this league and were close to the top of the division. Unfortunately we did not do ourselves justice. We lost the doubles games two to one. 37 points to us, 54 to the Golf Club. We shared the singles three each, The Golf Club’s scores were better than ours though. 72 to us and 77 to them. Overall therefore we lost 109 to 131. Following last weeks draw and this weeks loss I think we will drop quite a few places in the league.
Away – Chatsworth A – 17 May – 1.45pm.

On Sunday we are having our first Club competition. Parsons Croft 2.00pm. You can have a go at tennis then come over to the bowling green. Action packed weekend or what!

Don’t forget the Parish Annual meeting next week in the Memorial Hall.  We will be there trying to get you to come and join us.

Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club

Not only is the weather gloomy and hit and miss, so is our bowls matches. We do need new players to try to get us kick started. One loss one draw this week.

Matlock Tuesday League. Away – 1 May – Bakewell.
This is getting very predictable, we lost. Having said that based on past performance this was not as bad as it could have been. We won two games and Bakewell won two. Unfortunately our losses were heavier than theirs. The final result was Bakewell 79 Parwich 64. Bakewell are second in the division and we are second bottom. About right really, our form in this league will hopefully improve.
Next match – Home – Matlock Golf Club – 6.30pm 8 May.

Thursday League. Home – Whitworth Park – 3 May.
A very unusual result this week, no winner no looser, but a draw. We did not win any of the three doubles games which left us 32 to 63 behind. Our six singles players however came to the rescue giving us a score of 80 to 49. The overall result therefore 112 points each and it did not rain! Up to the start of this match we were second in the division so this score may drop us down a place or two. The fixture list has us playing another home match next week and as these things sometimes work out we are playing the Golf Club again. We had a supporter this week cheering us on. Well done Ron Twigg. Good to see you at the bowling green.
Home – Matlock Golf Club – 10 May – 1.45pm.

So apart from Ron the whole of Parwich is still watching the idiot’s lantern.  Did not think the license fee was that worthwhile. See you ‘not’ on any match day or on Monday nights at 6.30pm ish.
