Dear All
Re: Open Meeting
I am writing to you on behalf of Stepping Stones Pre-School Committee to let you know that we are holding the second Open Meeting on Monday 23 April 2012, 7.30pm at The Sycamore Inn, Parwich.
As you maybe aware the Pre-School needs to increase the numbers of children that attend otherwise it will have to close. If you have any ideas that could help us advertise Stepping Stones, ideas for fundraising, claiming grants or can support the committee it would be greatly appreciated. Some items on the agenda will be fundraising, location and opening times.
The Open Meeting means that anyone from the community can attend, again if you have any ideas, knowledge or can offer some of your time to support us, please do come along to the meeting, email steppingstonespreschool@fsmail.net or speak to a member of the committee.
Many Thanks
The Stepping Stones Pre-School Committee

First photographs of this year’s swallows, taken this morning by Fotografus J.F.Sessionatus, click to enlarge the photo. Bet they wish they were back in Africa – it is freezing outside.
Posted in Ornithology, Photography | Leave a Comment »
The first welcome sight of swallows returning to Blanche Meadow came on 11th April – a few days later than last year. I wonder if the sudden cold snap has delayed them or was it just ours? Has anyone else in the village seen them earlier? At the moment we just have a couple which are usually followed a few days later by the main crowd. The sound of their incessant chattering always evokes thoughts of summer. I expect the next thing will be a sighting of our own familiar species of Fotografus J.F.Sessionatus or should that be Sessionata?

Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club
So we are off and bowling, well throwing a circular thing at a smaller white thing. Thankfully as you who live here will know the snow did not last long and we have been able to play a match or two with varying success this week.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Home – 10 April – Matlock Park B.Matches in this league normally start at 6.30pm, but in early season you try to get going sooner rather than late. Just as well. I think also the opposition had better miner’s hats than we did because by the time the match ended it was very dark.
Anyway we only won one of the four games, although in the games we lost we did manage to accumulate good scores. Now just as a reminder you have to play four doubles games first up to 21 wins the game. The maximum points you can score therefore is 84. Having lost three out of four the result was 81 to Matlock and 73 Parwich, which as things go is not too bad a losing score if you understand what I mean.
Next match – Away – Chatsworth 17 April.
Thursday League.
Because of the cancellation of the first match we played two matches this week.
Again just as a reminder the format of the match is three doubles up to 21 and six singles up to 15. Maximum score therefore 153.
Away – 12 April – Chatsworth.
We unfortunately did not manage to win any doubles games, indeed we managed to lose them all quite nicely. However in the singles we won three out of the six. The final scores were Chatsworth 133, Parwich 109.
Home – Cancelled match – Wirksworth – Friday 13 April.
Friday the 13th enjoy! Not only did we win all the doubles games, (63 to 36) we also won all six singles as well. I cannot recall us ever managing to do this before, although I am sure that some members of the Club can put me right. Anyway the final result was Parwich 144, Wirksworth 103.
Next match – Home Matlock Park ‘A’ – 19 April.
Don’t forget we will be having a few ‘ends’ on Monday night at about 6.30. Come and have a try. Nobody new has turned up so far, it’s very lonely on our own!
John B.

I’m not sure whether “greedy” refers to the goldfinches which are gorging themselves on a full container of niger seeds or that JF-S seems to have Parwich’s full quota of these gorgeous birds.

This particular bunny was sighted and snapped by our roving reporter. Could it be the Easter Bunny? We may be mistaken, but it looks like this little fella is hiding some eggs.

2 ½ weeks ago Bob went missing and an appeal was made on the blog by Debbie.
Today Wyatt M was on a bike ride with his dad and they found Bob in a barn meowing like crazy. It is thanks to the Blog that so many people were looking for him. It is just fantastic to have Bob back home again. Thank you all, Debbie.
